Hidden's Workbook - Meditation and Lucid Dreaming

My Stroke of Insight
I found this video very interesting. It was neat to hear a brain scientist's explanation of nirvana, particularly because she had experienced it herself. Before seeing this video (I'd seen it a few years ago too) I really hadn't thought at all about the experiences that can be induced through meditation. When I heard the word meditation I imagined a bald monk sitting in the lotus position out in the middle of nowhere, perhaps with his thumbs and index fingers together and chanting "oommmm." So yeah, this video gave me a pretty different mental image of what nirvana is. It was nice to hear her scientific explanation of it too--that the logical part of your brain shuts down. It makes sense that one could do that through meditation.
