The 4 States of Consciousness

Wakefulness, sleeping, dreaming. We all know these states of consciousness, but did you know there’s a fourth that can be unlocked through meditation?

The four states of consciousness.

Human consciousness is a multifaceted phenomenon studied and explored by philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. A widely accepted way to categorize the states of human consciousness includes four central states: Wakefulness, Sleep, Dreaming, and Altered States of Consciousness (ASC).

The fourth state, ASC, encompasses a variety of non-ordinary states of consciousness that differ from the normal waking state. Altered states can be induced through various means, such as meditation, hypnosis, psychedelic substances, or extreme circumstances (e.g., near-death experiences). During these states, individuals may report unusual perceptions, enhanced introspection, mystical experiences, and altered time perception.
