This contribution aims to illustrate Claudio Naranjo's approach to meditation from the point of view of modern cognitive neuroscience and psychology. After a short historical introduction on meditation, we briefly describe the main forms of meditation and the psychological and neurobiological effects of mindfulness meditation. The contribution continues with a description of the characteristics of meditation in pairs and with music and with a discussion of the relationship between meditation and personality, within and beyond the psychology of the enneagram. Claudio Naranjo's ideas about the role of meditation in personal growth are also discussed.read more

TL;DR: The results show a significantly smaller average amplitude of eye movements in the delta band during mindfulness meditation than instructed mind-wandering, and participants’ meditation expertise correlated significantly with this average amplitude during both tasks, suggesting the potential use of this measure to detect mind-Wandering episodes during mindfulness Meditation and to assess meditation performance.
