The article analyzes the meditative experience and related psychic techniques used in spiritual practices in mediaeval Zen Buddhist monasteries in Japan. The various data of neurophysiological experiments with altered states of consciousness are used for a new interpretation of the nature of satori (enlightenment) and other levels of ASC.

Meditation offers a naturalistic paradigm for studying introspection, yet the neural dynamics of advanced tantric practices remain largely unexplored. Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra (BHYT) comprises a sequence of eight dissolution stages culminating in the “clear light” state. We recorded EEG during eyes-closed BHYT meditation performed in monasteries and hermitages (51 sessions from 36 male practitioners; ...

The paper offers critical reflections on the project of redefining the principles of religious and cultural studies proposed by Wouter Hanegraaff as part of his project of discovery of Western esotericism. The ideas of Hanegraaff’s most recent book “Hermetic Spirituality and Historical Imagination: Alternative States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity” are taken as a starting ...

Creativity is a crucial prerequisite for innovation, successful problem solving, and self-expression, but how do we affect creative thinking in a positive way? The present study investigated the effects of open monitoring meditation (OMM) on creativity. We proposed that OMM will benefit creativity in metaphor production by cognitive flexibility (CF) enhancement. In the main study, ...

One of the essential aspects of memory efficiency is the lack of recall (forgetting) of erroneous, traumatic,
or unimportant information. Therefore, the development of tools for control and facilitation of forgetting
is of particular importance. This work aims to investigate the impact of systematic mental training (openmonitoring
meditation) on the magnitude of intentional forgetting effect. 106 volunteers (69 ...

Although more people are engaging in meditation practices that require specialized training, few studies address the issues associated with nervous activity pattern changes brought about by such training. For beginners, it remains unclear how much practice is needed before objective physiological changes can be detected, whether or not they are similar across the novices and ...

The study presents a novel approach designed to detect time-continuous states in time-series data, called the State-Detecting Algorithm (SDA). The SDA operates on unlabeled data and detects optimal change-points between intrinsic functional states in time-series data based on an ensemble of Ward's hierarchical clustering with time-connectivity constraint. The algorithm chooses the best number of states ...

Introduction. There is a growing body of scientific evidence that supports positive effects of meditation on physical and mental health. Despite these findings, more research is needed to fully understand the psychophysiological changes that occur during meditation and after practice. Purpose. To evaluate changes in psycho-emotional state and physiological parameters after 8 weeks of Taoist ...

We present an unsupervised method that detects change-points in EEG time-series. The method was designed to reveal functional traces of consequent meditation stages within lasting tantric meditation recorded in Tibetan Buddhist monks. We propose a robust statistical approach for brain functional states detection tested on real and synthetic data. ...

Cortical and autonomic responses during staged Taoist meditation: two distinct meditation strategies
Volodina M., Smetanin N., Lebedev M. et al., Plos One 2021 Vol. 16 No. 12 Article e0260626
Meditation is a consciousness state associated with specific physiological and neural correlates. Numerous investigations of these correlates reported controversial results which prevented a consistent depiction of the underlying neurophysiological processes. Here we investigated the dynamics of multiple neurophysiological indicators during a staged meditation session. We measured the physiological changes at rest and during the guided ...
