There are several
different forms of what we call meditative practice which all boil down to
adopting repetitive protocols that alter the state of the brain. The reward(S) happens to be real and this
keeps folks working at it. Obviously
finding something that works for you is a priority and even mandatory as we go
forward into our mutual futures, yet it
is also well to test drive as many methods as possible.
Another tool not
understood yet is that a formed ring of certain types of crystalline rock,
likely in contact as well will form a useful torus of induced Earth fields
which strengthens the capacity of the consciousness to sense what meditation is
able to generate. The stones themselves
can be buried in clay or even sand and I suspect that the ring can also be used
as a pool. Again this is a recent
insight that I wish to explore and test.
We have a limited
understanding of what is actually happening but we agree that all forms of
brain training is naturally good for you.
That emphatically includes playing video games. The real challenge is to make other forms
pleasurable at all.
Superhuman Energy
Cultivated by Meditators: It’s Science
The energy emitted by people who have reached an
advanced level in meditation practice has been shown by multiple studies to
exceed normal human levels by hundreds or thousands of times.
Here’s a look at a few such studies
.
1.
Gamma Waves Off the Charts
Neuroscientist Richard
Davidson’s 2004 study on the energy emitted by Tibetan meditating monks
is chronicled by Stanford
University.
Davidson tested the Dalai Lama’s most advanced
monks, each with 15 to 40 years of meditation practice. He measured the gamma
waves emitted by their brains with electroencephalograph (EEG) testing and
brain scanning. A control group of 10 students with no previous meditation
experience was also tested after a week of training.
Gamma waves are described as “some of the
highest-frequency and most important electrical brain waves.” The production
of gamma waves requires thousands of nerve cells to act at extremely high
speeds in unison.
Davidson found some of the monks produced gamma
wave activity more powerful and of higher amplitude than any documented case in
history. The movement of the waves was also far better organized than the
non-meditating test volunteers.
It was also shown that meditation could result
in the redistribution of gray matter in the brain and prevent its loss. The
loss of gray matter has an impact on many mental functions, such as the control
of emotions, impulses, thoughts, and movements. This is because the caudate
nucleus, which controls these functions and more, is situated within the gray
matter.

Qigong Masters Emit Infrasonic Waves 100–1,000 Times Above Normal Levels
In 1998, Professor Lu Yanfang and dozens of
American scientists conducted research on qigong masters in China.
Qigong is an ancient
practice that involves cultivating energy, not only by doing meditative exercises,
but also by improving mind and heart nature, as the mind and body are said to
be one. It is known to have healing effects.
In her research, she had found that Qigong
masters were able to emit powerful bursts of infrasonic waves, 100 to 1000
times as strong as average individuals.
After even just a few weeks of training,
beginners in the practice had five times the infrasonic energy they had
produced before the training.
A similar study at the
Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, published in 1988, found the
qi emitted by qigong masters could be measured in part as infrasonic waves 100
times stronger than
that of an ordinary person. Both studies are detailed by the China
Healthways Institute.
3. Monks
Emit Heat Where Others Could Freeze to Death
An experiment conducted
on Tibetan monks in northern India is described in a 2002 Harvard University Gazette
article.
The monks, thinly clad, were put in a room where
the temperature was 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius). They entered a
state of deep meditation. Sheets soaked in cold water were draped over their
shoulders.
Under these conditions, an ordinary person would
shiver uncontrollably and the drop in body temperature could even result in
death, explains the article.
The monks, however, remained warm and dried the
sheets with their bodies. Once the sheets were dried, more cold, wet sheets
were draped over them. Each monk dried three sheets over the course of
several hours.
Herbert Benson, who had studied the meditation
technique for 20 years, told the Gazette: “Buddhists feel the reality we live
in is not the ultimate one. There’s another reality we can tap into that’s
unaffected by our emotions, by our everyday world. Buddhists believe this state
of mind can be achieved by doing good for others and by meditation.”
He said the heat emanated from their bodies was
just a by-product of the meditation.
Many such experiments have been performed on
people who practice meditation and it has been found that some of them are able
to emanate great amounts of various kinds of energy that can be measured. They
are also able to control metabolism and other bodily processes.

Amazing Healing Effects
Many Practitioners of Falun Dafa, also known as
Falun Gong, have reportedly been cured of chronic and serious illnesses. Falun
Dafa is a meditation discipline that cultivates the mind as well as the body.
Its three main principles are truthfulness, compassion, tolerance.
Medical writer Lara C.
Pullen interviewed some Falun Dafa practitioners in 2000 for an article
published in CBS Health Watch.
Sen Yang, then 39, of Chicago was diagnosed with
chronic hepatitis. He told Pullen: “A doctor told me directly, ‘There is no way
to really cure your disease. You will have it for the rest of your life.’”
After practicing Falun Dafa for a while, he had
a physical exam and all 32 test results came back normal, including the ones
that targeted his illness.
“At the beginning my physical condition changed
very fast. When walking, I felt [that] my body was so light that I could almost
float up,” he said.
Falun Dafa practitioners explained that the
practice is not meant to heal illnesses, but it is a natural effect of
improving one’s mind and of doing the meditative exercises, which strengthen
energy in the body among other effects.
Zhi Ping Kolouch, a 43-year-old Falun Dafa
practitioner, told Pullen: “If a person is miserable inside their heart, then
they will get sick.”
