Self-transformation through Contemplative Experience: A Neurobiological Perspective, David Vago, PhD

Evolutionary, contemplative, neurobiological, and clinical perspectives inform the phenomenology and function supporting the act of being a self in the world. Together, we will explore the multifaceted nature of the 'self' and its role in our interactions with the world around us. The 'self' is not a singular, unchanging entity, rather it is a dynamic, multi-dimensional phenomenon that is shaped by a myriad of cognitive processes and neurobiological mechanisms. A comprehensive conceptual framework will be presented to illuminate the cognitive processes and neurobiological mechanisms that support self-related processing. This includes the mechanisms of self-awareness, the ability to regulate one's thoughts and emotions (self-regulation), the capacity to transcend one's individual identity and connect with a larger non-dualistic reality (self-transcendence), and the integration of one’s de-reified insights into a unified experience of the whole individual (self-integration). How these processes and mechanisms can be harnessed for adaptive self-transformation will be highlighted. We will delve into the role of contemplative practices, such as meditation and other mind-body approaches, in facilitating this transformation. These practices offer systematic mental training that can contribute to the cultivation of a resilient, discerning, wise, compassionate ‘self’ as well as help individuals reshape their vulnerable, traumatized, or limiting aspects of 'self'. Recent research highlighting the role of contemplative practices in the reshaping of ‘self’ that leads to profound changes in their perceptions, emotions, and behaviors towards well-being and flourishing, will be presented.
