Dr Graham Phillips embarks on an eight week meditation course and undergoes a raft of rigorous brain tests and scans, to find out if the ancient art lives up to the current hype.

    There’s this very strange thing I experience while half asleep or when in a deep meditative state. I get a feeling of “oneness” and extreme mental clarity, in which I just become impressed by the insights that come to my mind. I swear it’s the perfect state to make decisions because there’s this very incisive, wise, and objective quality to every single one of my thoughts. It almost feels alien, like I’m talking to a someone who knows way more than I do. It’s amazing and I wish more people meditated before making important decisions.

    🍂 For anyone struggling to get into this, think of the usual methods as a starting point to figuring out what works for you. Nothing is absolute or mandatory. You'll find a long list of people suggesting what worked for them and insistent on their process. The take-home message is that mindfulness is something you slowly learn and construct for yourself, piece by piece until you have something that excites you. Don't like sitting? Lay down. Don't like closing your eyes? Keep them open. Don't like controlled breathing? Breathe normally. Just remember to celebrate that you took the time out of your day to try.

    I tried in a different way, I'm just an urbain meditator but since years with some stop and restart, Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't use will....Yes at the beginning, I start on something, divine light there in the heart, and back and forth from this to the let go softely off the incoming thoughts. Breath can help to come back to the central point. After an amount of time, it depend of your inner condition, pratice help. You don't need to do anything, meditation become automatique. The dive into this space, start by some flash like dream, some visions like the light of the sun between leaves mouving in summer and then the peace... next, Nothing. Your mental can't go there. But you're there. There are 3 states, awake, dream and shusupti=deep sleeping, there is another one, turya but it is another story. So in deep sleep, you exist but you're there. So it's the same thing for you when your soul go were the mental can't go. Sometime experiences appears like you awake into an infinite sky with no cloud, you are there in meditation posture. Sometime for those who are psychics, You feel a spirit, close to you, it's freaky at the beginning but there are not dangerous, just curious, like if meditation trigger something they can see. They are just curious, you can invite them to meditate with you or to pray to help them to go the light. So, after that, some snooze, ha ha, that happen to me, not to snooze but to lost my stand like a junkie :-) But you awake and you restart, it depend on the time you meditate, a regular practice, is 1h per day ...(But as you like, just to feel good) With others technniques to facilitate the dive in meditation. The flow of thoughts can never end, when you're awake, the monkey mind is there having the control. Meditation could be simply a way to boring the monkey mind, until he release the control :-) I rembered the first flop. I was hardly meditating, with lot of will to concentrate mentally and physically, exhausted, doubting and then suddendly, I feel my self, up to my head, in peace, there looking, and around my head, all my thougths were turning around like a galaxy :-) Something in me, said: I'm not my thoughts. After that, I loved meditation:-) The flow of thoughts can never end, but you can regulate the flow of the mental, it change and flop, gone. I'm frustrated, I want to be there and see what there is beyond :-) => Turya. You feel good anyway, you don't remember, maybe the peace, but you're heart remember. Meditation is a gift to the humankind whatever you do or don't with it. To end, meditation is not the life, is just a sort of mind, heart, chakras, aura, etc... yoga like you go to the gym. You can have big goal like becoming a Buddha, why not. I just want to be myself :-) Not only the guy you see, but the guy who , listening music at the sunset, suddenly, with no reason or trigger, feel the life in everything and something in background, something loving and everywhere, connected with you and with all the life there:-) It's bliss, gift of mother. Meditation is good, make it a pleasure not like going to the wahsroom the morning, find your way, that will make you younger, yes, more strong against the stress and connected with the life. Try in nature,with someone you love, there are so many states of being to live:-)

I also realised that some of the things I was interested in like politics, climate change and religion..was also causing unease..as did listening to MSM. What I did was leave them behind..I did the same with social media. All are a distraction. This action alone changed my life. I no longer get drawn Into things I cannot change.

    I was trying really hard to use my brain to heal my movement disorder (whatever that means) when I had my first out of body experience. I didn’t realize all the attention I was paying to my wrecked nervous system was reprogramming my brain to work in different ways. Today I squatted 215lbs, did pull-ups wearing a 45lb plate and same for dips. And that was just the start of my workout! Tho dystonia destroyed most of my movement, Ive been able to learn new ways to contract my muscles. Meditation truly unlocked my brain!

    A question: I. was doing brain exercises from Brain HQ, do you have any evidence. that these exercises(not games) have an effect on meditation or visa versa. I did both during a six month period but stopped the Brain exercises. However, I felt that when doing these extremely challenging exercises in which you cannot focus on anything else but the moment... that in the beginning were actually stressful. When I got into meditation and got to a gamma state...i tried the exercises completely relaxed. Almost as if it wasn't there...actually the more relaxed I was...the better I performed on these exercises. Perhaps they feed one another?

    If you fast for long periods of time and adopt a sentient food diet, you will in turn become more sensitive to everything around you, including emotions and other people's vibes, you then become more sensitive to the areas of the brain triggered by your mind, and yes if you focus on the present moment you tend to feel the frontal cortex of the brain activating followed by pure bliss. Once you achieve this state of mind, your desires will begin manifesting rapidly, and life just becomes like a magical experience, it's like a dreamlike state that I wish every human being begins to experience, but the choice is purely theirs. Kind of hard to do with the current society causing all this fear and disconnect from our true inner beings where our true power lies as human beings

    I read a big portion of the comments section and I found so many arguing about meditation from so many different points of view. All I have to say is:- A lot of scientific, especially medical research is yet to be conducted on the physical and biochemical benefits of meditation. I'm a patient suffering from depression, anxiety and OCD. I take my medication and regularly visit my psychiatrist. I also talk to my psychotherapist every week. Both have recommended a balanced diet for good nutrition, physical exercise like Yoga, Tai-chi or at least regular brisk-walking. My psychotherapist has also recommended meditation of just a few minutes everyday. Ever since then, I have gone online and researched if meditation truly has any evidence-based health benefits. So far I have found that modern science has at least proven that regular/daily meditation of at least 20 minutes increases concentration, memory power and reduces stress. It helps people suffering from anxiety, overthinking and stress. Even Webmd and healthline have recommended it. But THAT IS ALL. Whether or not meditation can be used to cure serious mental illnesses is not yet proven. I believe the ancient natural sciences were based on a more holistic approach to wellbeing and to life. It was a combination of regular exercise, nutritious diet and meditation. I don't think the ancient yogis reaped benefits from meditation alone. Access to clean unpolluted drinking water, fresh air, plenty of sunlight, strong genes, good nutrition, regular exercise also played a big role in overall mental and physical health. Also living in a strongly attached community helped our ancestors back then. Today we have become very distant from each other. People in the modern times mostly communicate through electronic devices which is not as satisfying as physically being present with each other. Physical touch such as a warm embrace or even just a handshake has actually known to boost oxytocin levels in the brain which is really good for reducing anxiety and stress and depression. During ancient times, people socialized a lot and were mostly out of the house getting good amount of sunlight. Medical research and social psychology says that counted a great deal in better management of mental ailments. But more medical research needs to be done on whether meditation can actually cure mental illnesses or not. Until then, as a patient of depression and anxiety and OCD, I would simply suggest everyone to consult with their respective doctor and take medication, eat nutritious food and exercise regularly for at least a few minutes. Also meditate everyday but not for more than half an hour a day. Too much of anything can be harmful. Be holistic in approach instead.

An object of meditation can be a sensation, the breath of even an external object such as a candle flame.

    Stress results from an external event internalized in a certain way. It is a synergistic condition given power only by perspective. The emotional internalization of the event determines the nature and intensity of the event's power. Stress can be either debilitating or motivating. The clarity, rationality, and serenity of such internalization is dependent upon spiritual health and physical health.

    I think you maybe did it wrong. Meditation can help you accept the reality that you can’t change then you will feel less stressed

    You can certainly get Meditation wrong. For eg, if you try to Control your Thoughts, you are likely to Fail. Mindfulness Meditation is about Accepting what's happening to you. It's about Passively Observing Thoughts, Feelings, Bodily Sensations etc.

    im bipolar and find i can come off meds for a year by using meditation and positive thinking etc but when things become too stressful i have to back on meds again ... like lately but it tend s to happen due to a rejection by someone i feel i love ..its always been like that . but i still use meditation even when back on meds to help coz meds dont always work right away and with bipolar the meds only work if you actually lie down and realx and close yr eyes ...if you are still active etc they dont work as well ..u can fight it ... so using the meditation techniques helps the meds to work better and u get REM sleep which youre not always getting when your having a bipolar high

    What type of meditation, do you know Dzogchen meditation? What is the difference between meditation and contemplation? What does your internal dialogue look like during this ? Do You know how to induce theta state (and the rest) and most importantly, how to remain conscious in all brain modes?
