Mantra Meditation as a Case of Habituation: Implications for a New Theory of Consciousness
Third Force Psychology: an international journal of humanistic psychology March 1, 1981 Michael Pirot
The author argues that investigating mental exercises like meditation could yield a theory of consciousness fundamentally different from existing Western frameworks. The use of a mantra as a concentrative device that may undergo habituation is proposed as a possible method for gaining new insight into the nature of mind.
