Meditation reorganizes the brain’s spatial topography

Meditators invert the relationship between the layers of self-processing.

A new meta-analysis examined evidence of how meditation alters brain activity and connectivity. The authors found that meditation reorganizes the brain’s spatial topography. Perhaps this explains why advanced meditators claim to experience “non-dual awareness” — that is, a dissolution of the boundaries between the self and the environment, resulting in a state of unity with the world.
