Through the use of these techniques (setting aside whether we call them “meditation,” “contemplation,” “prayer,” etc.), regardless of one’s particular religious tradition, practitioners have triggered otherwise atypical experiences that are characterized by emotional equanimity (or decreased emotional volatility), increased awareness (or decreased dissociation), and long-term psychological flexibility (or decreased cognitive and affective rigidity). Greek Orthodox monks at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mount Athos</a> might describe this experience as opening oneself to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essence%E2%80%93energies_distinction" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">divine energy</a> that pervades all things, including our bodies; while Sufi <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervish" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">dervishes</a> might appeal to the end of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attar_of_Nishapur" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Attar</a>’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conference_of_the_Birds" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Conference of the Birds</a>, when the birds, in search of their new king, are simply shown a mirror.  <a href="https://medium.com/interfaith-now/ego-su-eimi-8de41390234e">Website</a>
