In recent developments from Philadelphia, groundbreaking research points to the significant effects Orgasmic Meditation (OM) has on the functioning of the brain
Dr. Andrew Newberg presents these insights in his study featured in the prestigious journal Frontiers in Neuroimaging, examining the influence of OM on brain regions associated with social behaviors, the processing of emotions, and focused attention.
At the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health of Thomas Jefferson University
Where Dr. Newberg serves as the Director of Research, the study involved comparing the brain PET scans of 40 individuals who engage in OM with those who abstain from any meditation activities. The results highlighted a marked reduction in metabolic activity within crucial areas of the brain such as the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, as well as significant regions like the anterior cingulate, insula, and thalamus among OM practitioners. These changes signify that OM may streamline neural functions, akin to alterations observed in other meditation practices.
This research proposes that through regular OM engagement, an individual may achieve a mental state conducive to lessened activity within complex cognitive networks
This could potentially enhance the individual’s ability to process social interactions and emotional information. “The practice of OM appears to simplify some brain functions, which improves social and emotional task processing,” Dr. Newberg explains.
In an extension of his groundbreaking work, Dr. Newberg has released a book titled “God, Sex, and The Brain”
On August 6, 2024, in which he explores the intricate relationship between sex, spirituality, and their collective impact on brain evolution. The book provides an analysis grounded in the scientific exploration of meditation practices and their profound influence on human consciousness and experiences.
