Center for Contemplative Science

The Center for Contemplative Science is an organization dedicated to studying how contemplative practices—like meditation and mindfulness—affect the mind, body, and overall well-being. Through scientific research, it aims to understand the mechanisms behind these practices and promote their benefits for mental health, stress reduction, and cognitive function. The center also explores how contemplative methods can influence education, healthcare, and social environments, seeking evidence-based strategies to improve quality of life. Its work combines neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative traditions to foster a deeper understanding of human consciousness and to support the adoption of practices that enhance health and resilience.
