Beskrivning

Meta-Meditation for Mental Health educates readers about the evolving possibilities of meditation practice using technology-assisted devices, applications, and platforms and assists them in navigating this information to make it practical and gain benefits in their lives.Fueled by a growing body of scientific evidence, technology advances including neurofeedback, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have prompted the creation of meditation-assisted devices and applications that are radically changing how traditional meditation has been practiced. Together, these meditation technologies have created a “new” or evolved form of meditation practice, something that extends beyond the traditional concepts and approaches: a meta-meditation. While a promising development, the challenge is that for meditators—experienced and those new to practice—these technologies are a fast-moving, complex target, which require guidance in navigating. This book expands on this phenomenon and helps guide readers to gain maximum benefit from these new technologies while exploring how to use them, the benefits and downsides, frequency of use, and more.Ideal for mental health professionals working in meditation, mindfulness, and other mind–body practices, this book summarizes the exciting possibilities of meta-meditation and provides practical, everyday advice on how to make the most of phenomenon.
