TLDR
It is hypothesize that meditation is an integrated response with peripheral circulatory and metabolic changes subserving increased central nervous activity, consistent with the subjective description of meditation as a very relaxed but, at the same time, a very alert state.About:

Meditation States and Traits: EEG, ERP, and Neuroimaging Studies.
B. Rael Cahn,John Polich +1 more
TL;DR: Psychological and clinical effects of meditation are summarized, integrated, and discussed with respect to neuroimaging data, and meditation appears to reflect changes in anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal areas.

Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART): a framework for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms of mindfulness.
David R. Vago,David Silbersweig +1 more
TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework and systems-based neurobiological model is provided that explains the mechanisms by which mindfulness reduces biases related to self-processing and creates a sustainable healthy mind.

Functional brain mapping of the relaxation response and meditation.
Sara W. Lazar,CA George Bush,Randy L. Gollub,Gregory L. Fricchione,Gurucharan Singh Khalsa,Herbert Benson +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the practice of meditation activates neural structures involved in attention and control of the autonomic nervous system.

TL;DR: Results indicate that after 5 days of training, the IBMT group shows better regulation of the ANS by a ventral midfrontal brain system than does the relaxation group.

Psychophysiologic Effects of Hatha Yoga on Musculoskeletal and Cardiopulmonary Function: A Literature Review
TL;DR: It is shown that the practice of Hatha Yoga can improve strength and flexibility, and may help control such physiological variables as blood pressure, respiration and heart rate, and metabolic rate to improve overall exercise capacity.
