Comments for Meditation Research

Comment on Meditation on buddha forms improves visual spatial processing by Peter Malinowski

Hello Joy,
thanks for your comment. Indeed, a happier and more fulfilled life seems possible. When looked at from the perspective of psychological science the understanding would probably be that cognitive skills are one of the prerequisits for higher well being.
An interesting article by Alan Wallace and Shauna Shapiro (2006) pulls these ideas nicely together.
They are actually suggesting that we have to achieve a balance in four domains to be in a state of mental balance – leading to exceptional levels of well being. These are conation, attention, cognition and emotion.

And yes, quite a lot of the current meditation research has been inspired (sometimes even financially supported) by the mind and life institute

This is really interesting. Similar to other studies (mind life institute http://www.mindandlife.org etc) showing how different kinds of meditation can affect different cognitive functions due to brain plasticity. So not only can you be permanantly happier with regular meditation practice, your cognitive skills will improve too!

Comment on The power of the mind: A wandering mind is an unhappy mind by Dub Riley

Thanks for this blog. It is done very well and different than most meditation blogs I visit. I hope you’ll have a chance to see the unconventional guided meditation I offer. This is free and I will never have anything to sell. The primary goal of my work is to help people deal and heal with negative emotions which they store in their primary organs.

My most recent technique is a supercharger to all three bodies (mind/body/soul) and will instantly give relief to anyone who is holding on to fear, anger, worry, negativity, judgement and grief.
