Can meditation and mindfulness rewire the brain?

Recent research suggests that practices like meditation and mindfulness can lead to measurable changes in brain structure and function, promoting neuroplasticity. How do these changes occur, and what implications might they have for treating conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD? Are there limits to the brain's ability to 'rewire' itself through these practices?

This discussion is inspired by the work of Patton Benedict Paul, particularly his book Mind Sculpting: How to Rewire Your Brain for Lasting Change (Jstone Publishing, 2024).
