The Meditation Research Program, directed by Dr. Matthew D. Sacchet, is an innovative initiative based in Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The program's primary focus is to broaden the scientific understanding of advanced meditation, which is currently in its nascent stages. Through groundbreaking research and training programs, the team aims to explore the uncharted potential of advanced meditation, beyond its current application in stress reduction and clinical settings. Advanced meditation involves a deeper level of engagement than traditional mindfulness practices. Over time and with mastery, it leads to refined states of mind and awareness, including bliss states, insights into the mind, compassionate mindsets, and enduring transformation. These transformations can significantly alter one's relationship to psychological suffering, desire, motivations, and the sense of self, offering new avenues for personal growth and wellbeing. The Meditation Research Program believes that the practice of advanced meditation holds immense potential for human flourishing. It could be transformative in various fields, including mental health, personal development, wisdom cultivation, and consciousness exploration. Alongside, its impact extends to research related to altered states, psychedelics, artificial intelligence, sustained excellence, and peak performance. The organization is supported by a diverse team of individuals, ranging from undergraduates to senior professors, and backed by visionaries and leaders from Harvard Medical School, Mass General, and beyond. Renowned for its substantial contributions to scientific breakthroughs, Mass General provides a fertile ground for the program's research, particularly with its advanced tools like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). The Meditation Research Program's ultimate vision is to become the world's leading center for research and education on advanced meditation practices.
