I'm an Atheist who prays
Показать описание
Prayer is a unique form of meditation where, for a brief amount of time, our attention shifts away from the 'Self' towards acceptance of something 'Beyond self'.
From a neurobiological sense, this has a few interesting effects. There is reduced activity in the DMN or Default mode network which is the self-referential network active during day dreaming or thinking about oneself. When taken to its full extent, it leads to a state called 'Ego Dissolution
There is reduced activity in the Thalami - due to less attention paid to sensory stimuli.
There is reduced activity in the Amygdala - possibly due to less threat perception.
Psychologically, it helps to create detachment from a problem, thereby increasing calmness. There is similar (though not the same) to the effect of Stoicism.
And I haven't covered the effect of Faith in this discussion yet. That's a topic for another day.
