Since Patañjali is known to have followed the conceptual framework of the Sāṁkhya system, this chapter is devoted to explain its basic concepts, including: the goal of Sāṁkhya for the radical removal of suffering, the nature of the Puruṣa, which is the most fundamental concept of Sāṁkhya and Yoga, the dilemma over the equivocation of Puruṣa as single ubiquitous principle as well as that of...

This chapter is devoted to the discussion of some prominent modern thinkers, including psychologists whose work provides differing perspectives on the Yogic transformation of consciousness leading to Samādhi. The philosopher Edmund Husserl developed a technique that came close to that of Yoga, but in the end, he abandoned that project. Jean Piaget started with the idea that God is immanent in...

Lucid dreaming is a rare phenomenon of consciousness emerging while asleep, most often during the rapid eye movement phase. It is estimated that over half of the world population have had at least one lucid dream in their lifetime and around one fourth report to have one episode of dreaming lucidity each month. Conscious dreaming happens when a dreamer becomes suddenly aware of being inside...

Abstract In this paper, I contend that the narrative presented in Husserl’s recently translated Text 7 is a strikingly clear affirmation and vindication of the psychological adaptation of phenomenology developed by Amedeo Giorgi. I argue that Giorgi’s methodological advocacy of the epoché makes good sense when considered in the context of the history of humanistic psychology. A review of Carl...

It is widely accepted that the representation of the body is not fixed and immutable, but rather flexible and constantly updated based on a continuous stream of multisensory information. This mechanism can be very useful to adapt to several situations, but it would not be adaptive if the body representation was too malleable or if it wasn't capable of restoring its integrity after a transient...

Scale-free physiological processes are ubiquitous in the human organism. Resting-state functional MRI studies observed the loss of scale-free dynamics under anesthesia. In contrast, the modulation of scale-free dynamics during task-related activity remains an open question. We investigate scale-free dynamics in the cerebral cortex's unimodal periphery and transmodal core topography in rest and...

ABSTRACT In classical Arabic philosophy, the topic of consciousness is commonly associated with Avicenna's ‘Flying Man’ thought experiment. But Avicenna's explorations of the nature of consciousness are not confined to the Flying Man, and he is by no means the only classical Islamic thinker to deem consciousness an important feature of our experience. Consciousness also plays a important role...

Existing literature shows that visual art-making as a spiritual practice is more common among older adults. This study aimed to examine the experiences of individuals in early and middle adulthood who are into contemplative visual art-making as spiritual practice using Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method. Twelve participants aged 31 to 58 were interviewed online. Results revealed 11...

We recruited subjects with the focus on people who were stressed and needed a break to experience relaxation. The study used inaudible binaural beats (BB) to measure the ability of BB to induce a relaxed state. We found through measuring brain wave activity that in fact BB seem to objectively induce a state of relaxation. We were able to see this across several scores, F3/F4 Alpha Assessment...
