Introduction
Buddhist meditation is not merely a stress-reduction technique; it is a profound system of mental training designed to cultivate understanding, compassion, and insight into the nature of reality.Â
Science of Meditative Comfort
If you have ever sat in meditation and felt a sudden wave of physical ease or a profound sense of mental relief, you aren't imagining it. That sense of "comfort" isn't just a placebo effect; it is the result of specific, measurable shifts in your neurochemistry, brain wave patterns, and autonomic nervous system.
Posture
In the practice of Buddhist meditation, the alignment of the body is inextricably linked to the state of the mind. While meditation is primarily a mental discipline, it relies upon a stable physical vessel to function effectively.
