This makes me curious for more elaboration. Is it possible to shift between two positions, at one time feel immersed, at another more distant? How does it relate to different behavioural patterns? Situations? Plenty of new research topics ahead.
ReplyDeleteMy own experience is that it is possible to shift between the two positions, and I think this is a common experience for people who practice techniques like mindfulness meditation, in which the coming and going of thoughts, emotions, ego states, is simply noted without judgment or intervention. Davidson and others have measured changes in brain activity as a result of this kind of meditation.
