Could Altered Atates of Meditation Contribute to Super Wellbeing?

Alex Gruver, co-founder of Jhourney, shares insights on making blissful meditative experiences accessible. He recounts his personal journey with Jhana meditation, a practice focused on evoking joy, love, or peace, and contrasts it with traditional methods like breath-following or body scanning. Highlighting the unique, peak states achieved through Jhana, he discusses the growing academic interest and research being conducted at institutions like Harvard and McGill.
Gruver introduces Jhourney’s mission to simplify learning Jhana through EEG neurofeedback. By collecting and analyzing EEG data from expert meditators, they aim to create real-time feedback systems to guide novices in achieving these states more effectively. The talk also covers their extensive research, including building the world's largest EEG dataset for advanced meditative states, and ongoing efforts to integrate technology into retreat environments to enhance learning.
