Meditating Looking Up or Down: the Neuroscience of "Self-Less"
This mini-app illustrates the effects of looking up / down on neural circuits, and he way we assess the world "objectively" or from the point of view of a self (towards to / away from).
Note that there are more aspects to the neuriócircuitry of the self than shown here (e.g. the Default Mode Network).
Note: this is an AI generated application

A quote from one the meditations "Okay. Well, as you go about your day today you might try an exercise. You know that you'll confront many things that annoy you that cause you anxiety. You'll see many things online about which you have a strong feeling of judgment. As a frame for the rest of the day, see if you can just decide in advance to dial down your reaction to all of that. Dial it down to 50%. Be 50%, less reactive, less perturbed, less judgmental. See if you can decide to do that and see if it has an effect ."
