Our understanding of the nature and applications of meditation,
especially mindfulness meditation, has been expanding almost as
rapidly as the empirical evidence from neuroscience and
intervention studies that have become available in the research
literature. Meditation is centuries old and prevalent in almost all
ancient cultures in one form or another. Initially, people in the
West were enamoured by its spiritual promise of personal
transformation, but now a larger portion is attracted to
mindfulness meditation (Vipassana or insight meditation) because of
the promise of enhanced physical and mental well-being. Indeed,
research shows that engaging in a daily practice of meditation for
20 to 30 minutes a day over 8 weeks produces new neural networks in
the brain, attesting to observable calmness and clarity of
perception. This book brings together a diverse group of experts
who collectively provide a nuanced view of meditation from a
variety of perspectives. This book offers a single-source
authoritative guide to an ancient practice that is coming into its
own in the Western world.
