Contemplative Studies

Contemplative Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores practices like meditation, mindfulness, and prayer to understand their effects on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It combines insights from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, religious studies, and anthropology to examine how contemplative practices influence consciousness, promote compassion, and contribute to human flourishing. The field aims to bridge scientific research with spiritual traditions, providing a comprehensive understanding of inner experience and its impact on individuals and society. Ultimately, it seeks to deepen our knowledge of how contemplative practices can support personal growth and well-being.
