THE THIEF CAN NOT CATCH THIEF HIMSELF The ancestry of Meditation being explained by neurobiology

Abstract

Is the state we experienced meditating a religious, philosophical, mystical experience? Or is it just a change in brain physiology? Is it possible to achieve a state "beyond the mind" (meditative state) through a technique that uses the mind (meditative technique)? This article explores these aspects by the perspective of neurobiology.
