Jhana Consciousness: Buddhist Meditation in the Age of Neuroscience, Paul Dennison. Available at Amazon. For more details click HERE
For those having an interest in underlying neurological correlates of subjective stages of meditative withdrawal, this work will be found enlightening. It presents the idea that our overwhelming attachment to this sensory based objective world, and sense of “I”, can be progressively and systematically overcome through meditational practice. The author seeks to demonstrate this by providing us with data obtained from meditators, using the techniques of Buddhist based Jhâna meditation, as practiced according to the methods used by practitioners of the “Samatha Trust Tradition”. The research study was carried on from 2014 through 2019 utilizing electroencephalogram brain wave recordings correlated with “Jhâna states”.
