We live in a world where biases of any kind are one of the most widely discussed topics. Racial bias and political bias, for instance, dominate the news cycles heavily these days in America.

 

There are other kinds too. If you’re seeking information very often that will most likely strengthen your beliefs or are supportive of them, then you’re probably suffering from what’s known as confirmation bias.

 

But meditation, and especially Sahaja meditation, which can elevate our consciousness to a higher state, can help cut through the shackles of negative cognitive biases.
