How Meditation Works & Science-Based Effective Meditations | Huberman Lab Podcast #96

I flash so angry!!! I mean its getting worse since I stopped self medicating with cannabis. I remember this is want is was like before I started. I get so hot, especially when WRONGED!! very pissed right now, I don't think I can meditate like this

Thanks 😊

What about those who are neither interoceptive nor exteroceptive ? Those great wanders 😂 who keep jumping most of the time from one thought to another regardless of what’s happening internally or externally !

❤

This is what we do in vipassana w.r.t interoception and extropercention.

So, what do you think about the fake bio-meat?

thank you. great explanation. also from my experience best for splitting interception and exteroception is classical yoga practice or tai chi, when you keeping awareness on your body sensation and breathing while focusing on the outside world; your posture, spot in front of you etc... not talking here about acrobatic😀but yoga with awareness which is a meditation in movement in her traditional sense

The Russian martial Art- Systema heavily focuses on breath work, splitting POF, maintaining relaxed state via breath control during exertion.

Thanks so much for your gift. It is always appreciated. Really. Thank you

Brilliant and very helpful to me.Explaining the functions of the different areas of the brain and how they control our emotions and moods is a great help to me.. Thanks for sharing your research and knowledge with the people.

Luv what your'e doing man! from the mind and heart in tuned frequency

After listening to this video many times I would like to ask you confidential questions. Please propose a direct way to communicate with you. Kind regards, Afzaal

Dear Dr Huberman, how may I communicate with you directly? Thank you for your generosity. Best wishes, Afzaal Khan

Altruisitc, informative and for me an essential underpinning of the more esoteric podcast/videos on the human condition. You are in many ways a life saver.

I finally had a focused few hours to listen and i wish i had capacity to take notes. The biggest take away is awareness inside vs. outside of my skin for meditation. That combined with do i want to be relaxed or more alert after my meditation AND this can be achieved in short or long form is blowing my damn mind huberman lab!
So much wow.

Meditation is an important part of our practice and really makes a difference in how we can control our minds instead of our minds controlling us. Thank you for your guidance and your practice!

I appreciate you so much. what you do for the human condition with science based information is transformative. 🙏 Thank you

Wow ~ I am so blessed to have found you here because the questions I have about regarding brain through meditation - you made it clear ... and thought this video I have gained far more info than any other.


Will watch again & again. New subscriber to your channel. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏🌹💫🌸

You should do a series on learning languages. Stephen krashen would be an excellent guest.

I have been dealing with memory loss, cognitive decline from early 20s and tried many anti depressants, supplements, so many things. I am really clueless why my recovery is not happening after depression. Please help in making videos for depression related brain damage and its cognitive impact. Most essential how to heal brain?

thank you man!

Couldn't get past the ads.

Damn man! I'm loving this a lot. The explanation of exteroceotion vs interoception is just briliant. Many of us, as you've mentioned have an idea of meditation as an "interoceptive" activity - sitting with eyes closed. But seeing it almost as a tool where we can teach ourselves both the interoception and exteroception, and in a way help us reach the balance where we can slide along the specter depending on the situation has never even occured to me. And thinking about it that way makes sooo much sense. Perhaps what many of need is not a meditation, but "reversed meditation". Thank you for everything you do! Because of you the world is much better place. ❤️

Wrong there is a third eye, its called the pineal gland and its receptive to light. It is still used in some reptiles for vision. Anyone who has done proper third eye meditations knows you can activate it triggering a physical sensation somewhat similar to the flexing of a muscle similarly how the pituitary gland can be flexed, along with other glands connected to chakras if done correctly.

How do you teach this to children?? To help them overcome anxiety. Or feeling bad about themselves? Thank you!

Finally made it to this episode. I’m so thankful for the information ! I appreciate you.

dang why so much time spent on selling product

Please make video on overthinking.

Thus podcast was excellent. So much information to digest.

I also find this first video I see of yours awesome, have liked and subscribed and look forward to checking out/seeing more of your vids! ;) Thank you for the very clear, kindly adminstered and informative listening option, I really enjoyed watching! Good further luck and fun, Rebecca ;)

I appreciate that I'm not neophyte meditator... I'm not convinced by your theory about the 'third eye' i.e. using the centre of the forehead as the concentration object. In my experience, there is a point in the development of meditation practice that an enjoyable sensation 'arises' spontaneously at this point in the centre of the forehead. A series of pleasant sensations then arose which follow what are described in traditional Indic systems as chanels, or in traditional Chinese medicine as meridians.

As there seem to be a high correlation between acupuncture points (which are found on meridians) and nodal points on the fascia system, I believe that these sensations are closely linked with somatosensory perception (as opposed to interception, which I would say is more to do with sensory awareness of nerve endings which branch from the vagus nerve). Interestingly, there are a large number of nerve endings embedded in the fascia and seem to play a key role in the mind/body connection. I would therefore argue that these class of sensations are to do with a heightened awareness of the body/mind system.

When these sensations have become established, the sensation on the forehead becomes an enjoyable object of concentration. When attention is resting on the sensations at this point, these sensation grow and it becomes very easy to stabilise the mind state.

IMHO If you are in chronic pain do not use internal method use external. This will help rewire an overactive CNS /ANS. Great video really enjoyed it.

Ilove you sow much but meditation cosed eyes and manipulation of fate can drivig any people in death penalty after som years is not fate legal, chakras balance is name of (GOD)'' Spartak'' sparking and contackt. Evry way you go what ever you do do name of god is present.

This is such an amazing episode. This is the first time I have seen or heard of you and I will definitely be watching other episodes. You are an amazing speaker and I love the knowledge.

Been meditating for 20 years since having spine surgery (hit by a drunk driver). Meditation has helped me recover from injuries faster. Since I run every week. It helps me be more connected to my body. I usually meditate and then stretch. And I'm more aware of what muscles might be tight or usually have my muscles relax more. Last July, I caught 3 variants and developed a lung infection which left me stuck in bed for 45 days. I developed Long Covid Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia from being bed bound. I had to start from zero with my workouts but the decades of Meditation 🧘‍♀️ I believe helped me heal my Autonomic Nervous System Faster. My EP from the Hospital also thinks that Meditation and being an athletic has helped me recover. I wish more people with Long Covid understood how powerful Meditation as another tool for recovery. I'm not aware of any studies other than observations from my specialist. But most people that have PoTS are not doing well and I believe Meditation (coupled with diet of unprocessed , getting morning sunlight, slowly working out with gradually increasing weights) could expedite recovery.

Boring! 😮‍💨

I really recommend the book: The Mind Illuminated. It will guide you through a scientific based information mindfulness meditation.
It has changed my life.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge huberman
