Is day to day life experience capable of causing change in the neural anatomy ? We know the answer is yes because people who go through intense trauma end up with brains that function differently in measurable ways, and that is well studied. Meditation is a similar thing except that where trauma causes brain damage meditation causes brain healing. Meditation is about learning to control and direct your faculty of attention in order to upgrade your brain's "wetware". You're learning to choose a new primary neural pathway that tends to route around the fight/flight parts of the brain and route into lesser understood parts of the brain. The end effect is a calmer, happier, less worried you, but it takes.. well... practice :)
