A small but growing field of research at the junctions between biology, psychology and medicine focuses on what happens in the brain during meditation.

Whether you practice nondirective meditation like Acem, mindfulness meditation, or some other type of meditation, you will experience intermittent mind wandering during your practice.

We all need to concentrate from time to time, not least at work.

While many types of meditation seek to empty the mind of thoughts, nondirective meditation activates the brain areas that are linked to mind wandering.
