"End meditation by savoring positive states to rewire reward circuitry Eric Garland explains that in the MORE protocol, every mindfulness practice session ends by deliberately turning attention toward any positive mental states that arose during practice — calm, spaciousness, peacefulness — and fully immersing in them. This is not a feel-good add-on: he argues it is "really important with regard to helping to retrain the brain's reward system to help rewire the reward system and heal itself from the effects of addiction and pain." Someone who adds 60 seconds of deliberate savoring to the end of any meditation will be actively training their brain to find reward in awareness rather than in substances or compulsive behaviors.
