Personal Development Circle: Meditation

Join us for a discussion about meditation. In the first part of the meetup, I will present detailed introduction to the topic based on recent scientific research. Then we will have a discussion where the aimed at identifying practical applications of that knowledge in our lives.

We will cover:

• History of Meditation: the evolution of eastern traditions and how they began
• What exactly meditation is: and how it relates to westernized practice of mindfulness
• Neuroscience of Meditation: what exactly happens "under the hood" when we practice
• Model of the mind: what mind is and what the mind is not according to meditative traditions
