Meditation makes me sick: Meditation and sensitivity to parasympathetic nervous system
Original language description
Meditation has been studied by cognitive scientists, psychologists as well as by scholars of religion for decades. The study though has been focused mostly on positive effects of different meditation practices and these have become a part of a medical treatment or psychotherapy (Ospina et al. 2009). But what about the negative aspects of meditation practices well-known among meditation teachers and practitioners? These problems as nausea and head spinning especially common for beginners are in a scientific literature fairly omitted. We will present an experimental study which takes initial steps towards probing basic negative aspects of meditation practices and represents broader interdisciplinary cooperation across medicine, social sciences and humanities (Olex et al. 2013). Meditation in general stimulates parasympathetic nervous system and leads to relaxed states.
