Advanced Meditation Can ‘Reset’ the Brain
Science Quickly
Advanced Meditation States
- Advanced concentrated absorption meditation, like Jhana in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, involves achieving states of ecstatic bliss and expansive clarity.
- These absorptive states are characterized by the mind becoming one with certain aspects of experience.
- Another advanced meditation endpoint is cessation (Nirodha), where consciousness entirely falls away for a short time.
- Upon returning, consciousness is profoundly clear and peaceful, like a "reset".
- Researchers are studying these states neuroscientifically, exploring their effects on the brain and mind.
