Meditation is like exercise for the brain. In this exercise, we will cycle through 3 neural networks: the Task Positive Network, the Default Mode Network, and the Salience Network. The task-positive network (TPN) is a set of brain regions that are active when we are focusing on a goal-directed task that requires conscious attention. The goal for this practice is to maintain attention on the breath and simply note whether we’re on or off task.
