Have you ever been able to meditate? If so, how do you think it works? How are we able to disconnect our mental body from our physical body?-Julia Ashton
To answer that question, yes, I have entered meditative states on multiple occasions. I have also gone through guided meditation and hypnosis. All in my opinion are very similar. From my viewpoint, meditation is all about bringing oneself to a different state of consciousness and focusing one's concentration and focus on certain concepts. It can be self improvement, or contemplation. It is very relaxing and can often help me personally get in touch with my own self, imagination, and willpower. It allows me to focus my energy on the object that I want accomplished for that session, and even if I don't get it accomplished, it provides me with a great way of relaxing. As for how it can separate your mind from the body, it is just like anything else that requires a lot of intense focus and concentration. When you focus your mind on one specific task, you only pay attention to the parts of your body and environment that you need. Therefore, when one is only using one's mind, the rest of the body fades out and 'disconnects' with us.
If the mind can do such amazing things like tune out the entire body and focus solely on the mind, could the reverse be true? Could the mind ever focus solely on the body and completely shut off the conscious mind?
