Advanced meditation and the third wave of meditation research

Mindfulness has gained considerable momentum globally as a tool to improve health and wellbeing. Beyond mindfulness, advanced meditation includes states, stages, and endpoints that result from ongoing practice and mastery of meditation. Matthew D. Sacchet Ph.D. (Harvard/Mass General) will provide an overview of current directions in advanced meditation research that characterize the third wave of meditation research. The study and practice of advanced meditation promise incredible new opportunities for elevating human potential in diverse clinical and non-clinical contexts.
