Default Mode Network (DMN)

"A network of brain regions active during mind-wandering, self-referential thought, and ego narrative."

Understanding Default Mode Network (DMN)

An overactive DMN is tied to rumination and anxiety. Meditation has been scientifically shown to down-regulate the DMN, producing states of inner stillness, presence, and calm awareness.

Spiritual Significance

In the Numinous path, Default Mode Network (DMN) represents a key pillar for bridging the gap between physical reality and the subtle energies of consciousness.
