Silently repeating a meditation sound helps to cultivate a free mental attitude. The activity in the brain's default mode network increases, enriching the flow of spontaneous thought. Mind wandering brings rest and recuperation, helps us consolidate our memory of the past, and stimulates our planning toward future goals. It enhances creativity and makes it easier to shift perspective. It is a central feature of empathy and social relations.

| adam_text | Contents Preface XI INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 · Active relaxation What is nondirective meditation? Haivor Eifring, Svend Davanger, Are Holen 2 Many types of meditation seek to empty the mind of thoughts. In contrast, nondirective meditation activates brain areas linked to mind wandering, providing deep relaxation and processing of memories and emotions. f NEUROSCIENCE * BRAIN Chapter 2 · Back to the savanna 16 How a free mental attitude restores energy and strength Svend Davanger Concentration is tiring. Allowing our attention to float freely, as in nondirective meditation, activates parts of the brain that help us process stressful experiences, and increases self-awareness and creativity. Chapter 3 · The brain is made for mind wandering Nondirective meditation and the default mode network Svend Davanger Nondirective meditation integrates the spontaneous stream of thought as an important part of the practice. 34
Where in the brain do these thoughts come from, and why is the brain built to generate them? MEDICINE · BODY Chapter 4 · From brain to body Autonomic relaxation and mental processing during nondirective meditation Øyvind Ellingsen Physiological measurements and functional MR scanning show how the changes in brain function during nondirective meditation induce deep bodily rest. Spontaneous mental processing is associated with marked relaxation responses in the autonomic nervous system. Chapter 5 · A marker of stress reduction Blood pressure and disease prevention Øyvind Ellingsen Some of the most convincing scientific evidence of the stress-reducing effect of nondirective meditation is a modest reduction in blood pressure. Experts agree that even a small reduction can improve health and longevity. Chapter 6 · Less stress—more energy Improving mental health and quality of life Øyvind Ellingsen Several studies indicate that meditation increases energy by reducing pain and worries associated with everyday stress. Effects are stronger with nondirective meditation than with directive techniques for muscle relaxation.
PSYCHOLOGY 98 Controversies in psychology and meditation Turid Suzanne Berg-Nielsen What we need to control is external behavior, not thoughts and emotions, as cognitive psychologists and mindfulness practitioners claim. Nondirective meditation facilitates freedom of thought and creativity. A useful tool for stress management Anne Grete Hersoug, Morten Wærsted, Bjørn Lau Professionals who practice nondirective meditation find it easier to cope with pressure at work. They experience less muscular pain, fewer sleep problems, fewer worries, less nervousness, and less mental distress. гдг.Г Stories of change Anne Grete Hersoug How can adjustments in the repetition of a meditation sound bring about personal development? This chapter describes two of the many real-world cases that have contributed to our understanding of processes of change. 126
fe PHILOSOPHY · THOUGHT Chapter 10 · Morality without alienation Toward an ethics of nondirective meditation Eirik Jensen According to both rationalists and sentimentalists, morality requires that we look at ourselves from a distant and impersonal point of view. Nondirective meditation points toward a more integrated ethics. HUMANITIES The history of research on nondirective meditation Halvor Eifring Ideas, self-reports, and measurements all play a role in our understanding of meditative practice and its effects. In name, at least, a science of meditation has existed since the early nineteenth century. Acem Meditation and other methods of nondirective meditation Halvor Eifring Despite their similarities, various types of nondirective meditation are taught and explained in different ways. Acem Meditation has developed a distinctive approach to the processing of deep-seated psychological issues.
210 Online courses in nondirective meditation Halvor Eifring Mobile apps like Headspace and Calm claim to have taught millions of users mindfulness and related forms of meditation. Similar solutions for nondirective meditation are entering the market—how do they work? 220 Mindfulness vs. nondirective meditation Halvor Eifring Mindfulness and nondirective meditation have much in common. However, the former emphasizes top-down, intensive self-observation, whereas the latter builds on a bottom-up and relaxed free mental attitude. 248 Spontaneous thought in meditative traditions Halvor Eifring “Nondirective meditation” and “free mental attitude” are modern concepts. However, part of what these terms imply has been expounded on in meditative traditions for hundreds or maybe thousands of years. Appendix 263 Index 271
