It seems that Western psychology doesn’t look much into on how you can train your mind? Maybe because it is hard to test? In eastern psychology you have practitioners who have trained a specific technique for decades and then share their experience. It’s a completely different way of researching.
Western psychology tried that. In its special way, but still. Introspection was a big thing in XIX century. To become a subject of a psychological experiment you'd need to get a special education and training. There was that guy, Titchener that invented structuralism based on his introspective research.
It didn't work though. I can't remember why exactly it didn't work, can only guess.
