Have you noticed that you feel good when you give to others? Well, scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke have now proven that giving actually does make us happier.
An MRI used on subjects who had made a decision to give money to charity, found that the mesolimbic area of the brain was stimulated, which then released dopamine, which causes pleasurable or euphoric sensations. It's like getting "high" on giving!
So if you want to feel good, find a church or charitable organization that you would like to bless with your money and GIVE. Spiritual teachers have always told us that when we give, we receive, and now scientists have proven it.
