Summary
Self-transcendence (ST) is one of specific human experiences often related to harmony with nature or feeling oneness with others or the self as an integral part of the whole universe. V/sgACC and adjacent mPFC area involves in emotional control and autonomic regulation (Luu and Posner, 2003; Posner et al, 2007), consistent with many meditation findings (Hölzel et al, 2011; Tang et al, 2012b; Tang and Posner, 2013).
