About this course

Learn meditation as attention training, the way it is studied in cognitive neuroscience, not as a generic wellness add-on. You will practise focused-attention (samatha-style) meditation anchored on the breath, learn the four-phase cycle of mind-wandering, meta-awareness, reorienting, and sustained attention that underlies every sit, and use noting to make distraction visible instead of frustrating. Each technique is tied to something measurable, such as session length, a distraction count, or a return-latency, so you can diagnose a scattered sit and progress on a deliberate five-to-twenty-five-minute ladder instead of guessing.
