Just finished reading Rick Hanson’s “Buddha’s Brain”– fascinating stuff; he and Dan Siegel’s work. As a long-time meditator, I find all of this quite intriguing. Dr. Hanson is offering some online events coming up later in the month where he’ll be presenting some of his latest findings, etc. Looks pretty cool… http://tiny.cc/64m8p

take care,

Wow! Thanks for stopping to leave a comment, it’s good to hear from someone who has a large amount of experience with meditation. What form/s of meditation do you practice?

Now you’ve just got me curious about those other experiences, sure you don’t want to go into a little more detail there? Even by email if you don’t want to discuss publicly?

Thanks,
Warren

I have been sitting for 10 years and an average of 2 hours a day for the last five. It is true you become keenly aware of your emothions and the emotions of others. Even to the point of you are aware when someone has thier attention on you even if they are out of sight and silent. Also I can go so deep that that all perception stops. No sight sound taste, touch, phenomina thoughts or anything. When I come out of this state I am blissed out and radiate energy. According to my family and others I radiate energy all the time and they can feel it. there are other experiences that would not be helpful to discuss here or with anyone who was not a dedicated and experienced practitioner. Consistancy and patient will yield amazing results after years of practice. Sitting my be the best thing you can do for yourself and those around you.

I think that might be Matteui Ricard, there are videos of him on You Tube.

There has been great interest in studying a budhhist monk’s brain in recent years. And rightly so. We are all fascinated by what meditation can do. I personally believe in meditation’s ability to make us a happier person.

In fact, I’ve read of a study where to conducted a similar study such as the one this article described and the leading neurologist commented how the monk must have been the happiest person alive – based on his observation of the fMRI.
