Meditative Absorption

Meditative Absorption is a psychological state within contemplative science characterized by sustained, non-discursive attention and progressive attenuation of discursive thought, phenomenological boundaries, and sense of self, distinguishing it from ordinary mindfulness and concentrative practices through its depth of unitive awareness and introspectively verifiable absorption.
