Meditation Hacks Your Brain

from The Merge Lab Deep Dive

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Meditation can interrupt the brain’s attachment to familiar “exposure zones” by reducing external stimulation and quieting internal narration. This creates a gap between the observer and their usual reality structure, allowing for a less conditioned perception of reality. Over time, repeated meditation practice can shift what the brain considers “normal,” leading to reduced emotional reactivity and increased awareness.
