InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

July 18, 2024

The focus for today is:

Meditation may make me less prone to mistakes.

Today's inspiration was written by Jeff Lin and Jason Moser:

Meditation may offer a way to make you less prone to mistakes, researchers report. The findings suggest that different forms of meditation can have different neurocognitive effects.

The researchers tested how open monitoring meditation—meditation that focuses awareness on feelings, thoughts, or sensations as they unfold in one’s mind and body—altered brain activity in a way that suggests increased error recognition.

Jeff Lin, a psychology doctoral candidate at Michigan State University and coauthor of the paper in Brain Sciences, said: “It’s amazing to me that we were able to see how one session of a guided meditation can produce changes to brain activity in non-meditators.”

RELATED BOOK: Break Through the Limits of the Brain

Break Through the Limits of the Brain: Neuroscience, Inspiration, and Practices to Transform Your Life
by Joseph Selbie.

Break Through the Limits of the Brain connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience. It debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—including the brain-as-supercomputer and artificial intelligence models—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is the foundation of reality—an age-old belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.

Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for superconscious awareness so you can achieve whatever you put your mind to. The book offers proven practices for bringing superconscious awareness into your life for success, energy, health, peace of mind, and lasting happiness.
