Meditação Vipassana: Estados de Consciência Corpo e Mente

Revista Neurociências October 4, 2022 Elisa Maria Melo Silva, Maria Inês Nogueira

Practitioners of Vipassana meditation who completed at least one 10-day course can perceive and differentiate body-mind states of consciousness and recognize their theoretical correspondences with neuroscience and Vipassana principles. A questionnaire assessing levels of agreement among 85 practitioners (59% women, 41% men) showed positive agreement rates between 77% and 99% for statements about experienced states. The study relates these subjective experiences to brain structures and functions, proposing a Neuroscience of Subjectivity aligned with essential Vipassana teachings.
