=== Research of Andrew Newberg M.D. related to intense prayer ===
Research indicates that 12 minutes of daily intense prayer over an eight-week period can change the brain to such a degree that it can be measured on a brain scan. This method of prayer appears to increase activity in brain areas associated with social interaction and compassion/thoughtfulness. In addition, it increases frontal lobe activity as focus and intentionality increase.<ref>[http://drleaf.com/blog/how-prayer-affects-the-brain/ How Prayer Affects the Brain]</ref><ref>[https://www.amazon.com/How-Changes-Your-Brain-Neuroscientist/dp/0345503422 How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist]</ref><ref>How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist– March 23, 2010 by Andrew Newberg M.D, Mark Robert Waldman.
