Meditation
Despite the increase in meditation studies, the quality remains variable; many of them are trivial, and most remain unreplicated.

In each chapter includes discussion of the major questions addressed, followed by a detailed critique of important theoretical, clinical, and research issues. In several instances the reader may find that questions seem to beget questions: research bearing upon certain issues may be contra...
Meditation
Many claim that meditation is effective in the treatment of many ailments associated with stress and high blood pressure, and in the management of pain.

Each selection is a contribu...

These practices can be used awaken minds to a more transpersonal awareness of life and the nature of consciousness.

The resulting research detailed in this work is an informative read for anyone interested in furthering their understanding of the nature of consciousness, and reconnecting to the divine source of all awareness.

Using concrete scientific methods, this work addresses practical and philosophical questions about how the mind and its content form in the brain. An eclectic range of mental phenomena including learning, language, and self-perception are addressed with an eye toward explaining them as manifestations of neural network processes. While this book will be of particular interest to students of many cognitive fields of study such as neuroscience, psychology, and neural networks, it is designed to be accessible for general readers, as it straightforwardly and creatively integrates many disciplines and discussions relating to mental processes. Highlighted are the neuronal properties and regularity that form the mental phenomena and serve their explanation.
