The message conveyed in this research associates Vipassana meditation with measurable changes in brain function and nervous system regulation, which may support attention, emotional regulation and stress resilience.
At the same time, the literature indicates that meditation is not universally benign. A growing body of research documents the possibility of adverse psychological and physiological effects, particularly in more intensive practice contexts.
The findings suggest that greater awareness, appropriate preparation and informed guidance are important when engaging in sustained or intensive meditation practice. Overall, meditation is presented as a powerful practice that may have both beneficial and destabilising effects, depending on the individual and the context.
