ABSTRACT:       This research work is a sustained attempt to scientifically interpret the Meditative Guidance of the Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation (SR0000398348 dated 2006-09-13, United States Copyright Office) renowned to bring peace and calm to the meditating human subject. It is the outcome of inspiration dawned on the authors to scientifically investigate such phenomena connected with the Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation.  The Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation has been found to have many properties that Science can explain.  Signal Processing techniques are used to perform Spectral Analysis of the Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation.  The results indicate presence of significant patterns of low decibel power infrasound in the Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation.  This paper proposes interpretations to this and meditative guidance characteristics inferred from the experimental results. This work concentrates on presenting an analysis of the explanation to the mystic phenomena of meditative guidance to multiple subjects using biophotonic communication and bioacoustic fields operating on the principles of the multiple phase locked loop.   Keywords: Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation, Meditation, Meditative Guidance, Infrasound, Low power, Spectral Analysis, Consciousness Communications, BioAcoustic Fields, BioPhotonic Communication URL: https://www.ijlst.org/papers-published/ijlst-2009-volume-2-issue-1

Is reading poetry good for you? Drawing on evidence that reading poetry involves some of the same brain structures as those upon which human psychological well-being depends, this essay argues that George Herbert’s devotional lyrics, long understood as Christian meditations, center on recurring images in a manner consistent with the modern practice of mindfulness meditation. There is a significant overlap between the way meditation was understood by seventeenth-century Christians and the way it is understood by modern meditators in a secular and therapeutic context. Neurally, meditation means the reduction of activity in the brain’s default mode network; phenomenally, it means repeatedly bringing wandering attention back to a chosen meditation object. Poetry can be isomorphic with meditative practice because the image of meditation has an identifying pattern of movement—spontaneous wandering and controlled return—that can be created in several sensory modalities. Complex enough to characterize Herbert’s poetry as meditative, the pattern of wandering from and returning to a focal image potentially defines a meditative literary mode with a distinctive relationship to the imagination. The therapeutic potential of meditative poetry speaks to the value not just of poetry but of humanist education in general.

Background: The investigation of the specific connections between different techniques of meditation and their respective effects depends upon a classification of the meditative activity involved. Universal systems of classification need to be developed based both on traditional sources and contemporary science. In this article, a system of classification for anthroposophical meditation is proposed. Methods: The system was developed from a close textual analysis of meditation instructions given by Rudolf Steiner. The system of classification arising from the investigation was compared to three other classificatory systems that have recently been suggested. Results: The analysis resulted in a system of classification with two main branches: (1) the shared features of anthroposophical meditation and (2) the different aspects of specific anthroposophical meditations. The first branch contains the following sub-categories: understanding, internal conditions, external conditions, sequence, timeframe and dealing with hindrances. The second branch contains: source, aim, activity, sequence and timeframe. Other systems of classification tend to leave out the dimension of the meditative activity. Conclusion: The proposed classification system can be used as a starting point for further refinements of the classification of anthroposophic meditation, but it can also be used as a standard for future studies of the connections between different meditations and their effects.

This article shares a somatic approach to the practice of meditation reflecting on experiences of facilitating meditation classes for others as well as my own personal practice. I share my application of Bartenieff Fundamentals as a framework for meditation, outlining the language of the body it offers for imagery-based guided meditation ‐ a process of embodied fundamentals. Through exploring the relationship between my practice of Bartenieff Fundamentals and a somatic approach to being in the world, I question how Bartenieff’s Principle of Breath Support may guide a practice of meditation and how in this process of embodiment we might shade, tone and strengthen meditation as a process of somatic engagement, revealing a dialogic relationship between form and fluidity, somatic moving and spiritual connectivity. The use of the voice, heightened sensorial awareness through imagery of breath, bones and gravity are considered through this practice of guided meditations: an embodying of body‐space‐environment as a transactional space of self-care. Presented through different modalities of formal text, notes from practice, movement scores and images, I invite readers to engage with this work through reading, moving and meditating.

The article focuses on the place of meditation in modern religion and culture, the process of how this concept has changed over time, and the meditative practices still in use today. The authors explore how meditation, or other phenomena, manifests itself in all existing religions. In the Occidental culture, the word ‘meditation’ stands alongside such phenomena as self-reflection, perhaps planning, whereas in the Oriental culture, it suggests a process of ‘enlightenment’. The purpose of eastern meditations is to gain a new experience not previously known to person. Religions have preserved the concept of meditation as well as its techniques, some of which have remained unchanged. The authors note that meditation is called differently in different religions. For example, in Orthodoxy it is the practice of ‘mental doing’. In Buddhism and yoga there are many intersections with the practice of meditation. Meditation in Buddhism is one of the main methods of controlling the mind and the ability to focus on certain ideas. The important skill of concentrating on certain objects and clearing the mind of the consciousness stream opens the way for a person to overcome all the main existence problems. Although meditation originated as a religious phenomenon, it has a special role in modern life as a technology that leads to positive change and improvement. Meditation is still a unique phenomenon that has travelled through the ages. However, it remains difficult to analyze in any way.

Mindfulness meditation has become a successful treatment of both physical and psychosocial ailments over the past decade. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) are now implemented in various clinical and hospital settings for the treatment of stress, depression, substance abuse, and chronic pain. However, given mindfulness meditation’s exponential rise in popularity, scientific and media reports have called for the evaluation of mindfulness meditation’s safety for those who participate in its programs. Studies have described adverse events, such as anxiety and pain, and more severe events like psychosis, that have been associated with mindfulness meditation. However, there has not been a consistent, systematic way to define and report adverse events in meditation randomized control trials. The objective of our viewpoint was to dispel the notion that these emotive feelings and sensations are adverse events due to mindfulness meditation. Instead, they are actually expected reactions involved in the process of achieving the true benefits of mindfulness meditation. For the more severe outcomes of meditation, for example, psychosis and mania, these events are confounded by other factors, such as the intensity and length of the meditative practices as well as psychological stressors and the psychiatric histories of those affected. Comparatively, mindfulness-based programs like MBSR and MBCT are shorter in duration and less intense. They are designed to be adapted to their participants’ needs as to not induce pain or panic. Mindfulness meditation teaches its students to learn how to deal with their minds and bodies instead of using maladaptive coping techniques. Thus, we urge that further research in mindfulness meditation consistently use the definition of adverse events as those which lead to severe outcomes or hospitalization.

Introduction: There is limited research regarding the benefits of mind-body practices such as meditation in hospitalized patients with an active diagnosis of any cancer type. Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, clinical trial (NCT03445572) comparing 2 meditative practices—Isha Kriya (IK) and meditative slow breathing (MSB)—versus wait-list controls in hospitalized cancer patients. Our aim was to determine the feasibility of meditation practice in cancer inpatients. Feasibility was defined as recruitment of more than 50% of the eligible patients approached and at least 60% of the patients having meditated at least 4 days by day 7. Acceptability was assessed on day 7 as a positive response on at least 2 questions on the modified Global Symptom Evaluation (GSE) scale. Results: Forty patients (39% of the eligible patients approached) consented to participate in the study and were randomly assigned to the MSB (n = 13), IK (n = 14), or wait-list (n = 13) groups. Of the 27 patients assigned to receive MSB and IK meditations, day 7 data were available for 18 patients. Fifteen of the 18 patients meditated at least once in the first 7 days, and most (12/15) responded positively on the GSE. Conclusion: Both IK and MSB meditations were acceptable among the hospitalized cancer patients. Feasibility for enrollment and practice was likely not achieved due to limited uninterrupted time for daily meditation, high levels of morbidity in some participants, and limited research staff support. Shorter term outcomes should be explored in future meditation studies involving hospitalized cancer patients.

Annotation:

Saddharmasmṛtyupasthānasūtra is an Indian Buddhist sutra dating to the first half of the first millennium. Chapter 7 of the sutra consists of a very long meditation on the body, unusual in Buddhist literature for its anatomical, especially osteological, detail. The meditation also includes extensive descriptions of many internal worms as well as the internal winds that destroy the worms at the moment of death. The sutra has several elements not found in other Buddhist texts. For example, the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthānasūtra meditation on the body includes extensive descriptions of things in the external world (e.g., rivers, mountains, flowers) and designates them as the “external body”. Most strikingly, the meditation on the body found in Saddharmasmṛtyupasthānasūtra differs from the general scholarly perception of Buddhist meditations on the body in that it does not emphasize impurity or generate repulsion. Instead, the sutra guides the meditator through a dispassionate and “scientific” observation of the body and the world.

Annotation:

Three broad organizing strategies have been used to study meditation practices: (1) consider meditation practices as using similar processes and so combine neural images across a wide range of practices to identify the common underlying brain patterns of meditation practice, (2) consider meditation practices as unique and so investigate individual practices, or (3) consider meditation practices as fitting into larger categories and explore brain patterns within and between categories. The first organizing strategy combines meditation practices defined as deep concentration, attention to external and internal stimuli, and letting go of thoughts. Brain patterns of different procedures would all contribute to the final averages, which may not be representative of any practice. The second organizing strategy generates a multitude of brain patterns as each practice is studied individually. The rich detail of individual differences within each practice makes it difficult to identify reliable patterns between practices. The third organizing principle has been applied in three ways: (1) grouping meditations by their origin—Indian or Buddhist practices, (2) grouping meditations by the procedures of each practice, or (3) grouping meditations by brain wave frequencies reported during each practice. Grouping meditations by their origin mixes practices whose procedures include concentration, mindfulness, or effortless awareness, again resulting in a confounded pattern. Grouping meditations by their described procedures yields defining neural imaging patterns within each category, and clear differences between categories. Grouping meditations by the EEG frequencies associated with their procedures yields an objective system to group meditations and allows practices to “move” into different categories as subjects’ meditation experiences change over time, which would be associated with different brain patterns. Exploring meditations within theoretically meaningful categories appears to yield the most reliable picture of meditation practices.

This paper aims towards a contextual analysis of the emblematic decoration of the staircase of the former jesuit (today Benedictine) college in Győr, North-Western hun-gary. The decoration, created in 1697, visualizes the prayer Salve Regina, and its content is closely connected to the jesuit spiritual exercise of meditation. According to my interpretation, the emblems of the staircase offered a visual aid to the jesuit clerks, for their meditations on the significance of holy Mary. The emblems, thus, embody the idea of “Ut pictura meditatio”, as defined by Walter S. Melion.I offer an analysis of the meditational programme of the decoration of the Győr staircase, and a brief outline of its place in late 17th-century devotional emblematics. The source of the emblematic decoration could be found in the context of jesuit emblem literature and applied emblematics. Besides several analogous emblematic publications, according to my research, the visual source for the Győr programme was the Salve regina print-series by the Antwerp artist Anton Wierix. Through an analysis of this source, I aim to distance the interpretation of the staircase’s decoration from the former attempt of Éva Knapp, proposing that the decoration was based on creative visual translations of emblem-descriptions by jacob Masen.Through my interpretation of the emblems and their overall programme, the decoration of the Győr college could be placed in the context of jesuit meditation and applied emblematics. I also aim to elaborate on the practical function of the decorative programme, and thus widening our knowledge on early modern practices of emblematic meditation in monastic communities.

Today, general meditation is widely practiced around the world. In addition to the history, types and methods of meditation, industries that utilize meditation are also developing. Modern meditation began to have such a popular character in India in the 1950s, when it was introduced to the United States and Europe in the 1960s. There are many reasons why modern people meditate. The basis of meditation is to maintain and improve the function of the body and mind. Furthermore, meditation is used to pursue physical and psychological tranquility and relaxation, and furthermore to promote overall health and well-being. On the other hand, Buddhist meditation emphasizes that you are always awake. In particular, meditation on the sitting type of Buddhist meditation aims at the achievement of enlightenment, for example, solving problems of oneself. Self-problem solving is to know oneself clearly and to achieve oneself. This kind of meditation began with the meditation of the Buddha. Meditation in general focuses on relieving stress. Sitting meditation, on the other hand, focuses on calming stress and moving toward enlightenment. In this respect, there is a difference between general meditation and sitting meditation. In this thesis, the characteristics of general meditation and Sitting meditatin are examined and some differences are examined. As a result, first, there was a difference in the ultimate goal of general meditation and Sitting Meditatin. Second, there was a difference in the subject, Thirdly, the methods, Fourth, the effects, Fifth, the characteristics, and Sixth, the Features.

Healthcare professionals and research scientists generally recognize the potential value of mind–body practices grounded in ancient wisdom, but often have limited direct experience with such practices. Meditation participant self-reports provide a window into subjective experiences of three Viniyoga meditations and how and why those meditations could contribute to health and well-being outcomes. Each of the meditations in this analysis had a unique structure and used a different aspect of the ocean as a meditation object. Yoga philosophy and yoga anatomy models of the human system are used to help explain participants’ experiences and associated personal benefits and insights. Four aspects of the individual that can influence what happens for them in meditation are illustrated with tangible examples: (1) What is happening in generally in someone’s life; (2) the state of their system (mind, body, breath) around the time of the meditation; (3) reactions to the meditation steps and instructions; and (4) their prior experiences with the object of meditation. Summaries of the practices, and why and for whom each meditation might be beneficial are discussed. The authors’ perspectives are grounded in Viniyoga and yoga therapy.

Background Public safety personnel (PSP) are individuals who work to ensure the safety and security of communities (eg, correctional workers, firefighters, paramedics, and police officers). PSP have a high risk of developing mental disorders and face unique barriers to traditional mental health treatments. The PSP Wellbeing Course is a transdiagnostic, internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) course tailored to assist PSP with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The initial course outcomes are promising, but some clients report some challenges with learning skills and recommend adding additional resources. Mindfulness meditations, which help people to experience the world and their reactions to the world in open and nonjudgmental ways, may complement the existing PSP Wellbeing Course. Objective This study aims to examine the feasibility of mindfulness meditations in iCBT tailored for PSP. Information was gathered to evaluate engagement and client experiences with mindfulness meditations, symptom change, and the relationship between mindfulness meditation use and symptom change. Methods A mixed methods study was conducted on PSP enrolled in the PSP Wellbeing Course who were offered 5 mindfulness meditations during the program (ie, 1/lesson). Clients completed questionnaires on depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger, insomnia, resilience, and mindfulness at pretreatment and at 8 weeks; an 8-week treatment satisfaction questionnaire; and brief weekly measures of mindfulness meditation engagement. We used paired sample t tests (2-tailed) to assess changes in outcomes over time and partial correlations to assess whether mindfulness meditation use predicted outcomes at posttreatment. A total of 12 clients were interviewed about their perceptions of the mindfulness meditations, and interviews were analyzed using directed content analysis. Results Among the 40 clients enrolled, 27 (68%) reported using the mindfulness meditations, practicing for an average of 4.8 (SD 8.1) minutes each week. Most interviewees described the mindfulness meditations as beneficial but also reported challenges, such as discomfort while sitting with their feelings. Clients provided suggestions for better integration of mindfulness into iCBT. Overall, clients who completed the PSP Wellbeing Course with mindfulness meditations experienced statistically significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety (P=.001), depression (P=.001), PTSD (P=.001), and anger (P=.001) but not insomnia (P=.02). Clients also experienced improvements in resilience (P=.01) and mindfulness (P=.001). Self-reported time spent meditating was not associated with changes in symptoms over time. Conclusions This study provides new insight into the integration of mindfulness meditations with iCBT for PSP. It demonstrates the partial feasibility of adding mindfulness meditations to iCBT, revealing that some, but not all, PSP engaged with the meditations and reported benefits. PSP reported using the mindfulness meditations inconsistently and described challenges with the meditations. Improvements can be made to better integrate mindfulness meditation into iCBT, including offering mindfulness meditation as an optional resource, providing more psychoeducation on managing challenges, and offering shorter meditations.

It has been proposed that meditative states show different brain dynamics than other more engaged states. It is known that when people sit with closed eyes instead of open eyes, they have different brain dynamics, which may be associated with a combination of deprived sensory input and more relaxed inner psychophysiological and cognitive states. Here, we study such states based on a previously established experimental methodology, with the aid of an electro-encephalography (EEG) array with 128 electrodes. We derived the Shannon Entropy (H) and Pearson’s 1st Skewness Coefficient (PSk) from the power spectrum for the modalities of meditation and video watching, including 20 participants, 11 meditators and 9 non-meditators. The discriminating performance of the indices H and PSk was evaluated using Student’s t-test. The results demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the mean H and PSk values during meditation and video watch modes. We show that the H index is useful to discriminate between Meditator and Non-Meditator participants during meditation over both the prefrontal and occipital areas, while the PSk index is useful to discriminate Meditators from Non-Meditators based on the prefrontal areas for both meditation and video modes. Moreover, we observe episodes of anti-correlation between the prefrontal and occipital areas during meditation, while there is no evidence for such anticorrelation periods during video watching. We outline directions of future studies incorporating further statistical indices for the characterization of brain states.

Hintergrund: Zunehmende Evidenz weist auf positive Wirkungen der Meditation bei psychischen und körperlichen Symptomen hin. Ziel dieser national repräsentativen Umfrage war die Erhebung der Lebenszeitprävalenz und Punktprävalenz der Meditations-Praxis in Deutschland, der Gründe für Meditation und der wahrgenommenen Veränderungen durch die Meditation. Methoden: In dieser national repräsentativen Umfrage mit 2’126 TeilnehmerInnen ab 14 Jahren wurde im April und Mai 2018 die derzeitige und frühere Meditations-Praxis erhoben. Unterschiede zwischen soziodemographischen Subgruppen wurden mittels Chi-Quadrat-Tests analysiert. Ergebnisse: Die Lebenszeitprävalenz der Meditations-Praxis lag bei 15,1%, die Punkt-Prävalenz bei 6,6%. Eine höhere Prävalenz war assoziiert mit weiblichem Geschlecht (p < 0,001), erwerbsfähigem Alter (p = 0,015), Abitur/Hochschulabschluss (p = 0,002) und Berufstätigkeit (p = 0,027). Die durchschnittliche Dauer der Meditations-Praxis betrug 47,1 Monate. Die häufigsten Gründe zu meditieren waren Verbesserungen des geistigen Befindens (71,1%), der geistigen Leistungsfähigkeit (50,3%), bei regelmäßig Meditierenden auch des körperlichen Befindens (59,3%). Positive Veränderungen durch die Meditations-Praxis berichteten 95,8%, insbesondere größere Ausgeglichenheit, Entspannung und Wohlbefinden. Weitere 12,4% der aktuell nicht meditierenden Befragten konnten sich vorstellen, in den nächsten 12 Monaten mit Meditation zu beginnen. Außerdem praktizierten 5,6% der Befragten Yoga; 46,6% der aktuell Yoga Praktizierenden meditierten auch, und 39,0% der aktuell Meditierenden übten auch Yoga. Schlussfolgerung: Geschätzte 15,7 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland meditieren aktuell oder sind daran interessiert, mit Meditation zu beginnen. Frauen und berufstätige Personen mit Abitur/Hochschulabschluss im erwerbsfähigen Alter meditieren häufiger. Über 95% der Praktizierenden berichten positive Veränderungen durch die Meditation.

Meditation nimmt als Erfahrungs- und Lebensform in vielen Kulturen einen wichtigen Raum ein. Sie ist eine Möglichkeit der Menschen, sich zur Transzendenz und Natur, zur Kultur und zu sich selbst zu verhalten. Wie sehr Formen meditativen Lebens geschätzt und wie intensiv sie praktiziert werden, ist von Kultur zu Kultur unterschiedlich. Das Spektrum meditativer Praktiken ist weit gespannt (Engel 1995; Nicol 2000; Tworuschka 2000; Mipham 2005). Es umfasst: religiöse Praktiken mit vorgeschriebenen Regeln und Praktiken mit eher offenem Charakter; traditionelle Heilpraktiken und Übungen im Rahmen therapeutischer Arbeit; den Umgang mit Literatur, Musik und Kunst; Erfahrungen in Bildung und Lebensalltag. Nicht immer ist es leicht zu entscheiden, ob es sinnvoll ist, bestimmte Praktiken als meditativ zu bezeichnen oder nicht. Die Wahl der Bezeichnung hängt weitgehend davon ab, ob ein eher enger oder ein weiter Begriff von Meditation vertreten wird. Im ersten Fall sind viele Praktiken auszuschließen und begrifflich anders zu fassen. Im zweiten Fall liegt der Akzent darauf, dass viele unterschiedliche Formen der Meditation Gemeinsamkeiten haben. In diesem Fall geht man eher von einer unitas multiplex der Meditation aus (Wulf 2013a), in deren Rahmen es zwar viele Formen, in deren Zentrum es aber etwas Gemeinsames gibt - etwas, das sich allerdings im Fall der Meditation begrifflich oft nur schwer fassen lässt. In sechs Annäherungen, in die auch einige Beispiele eingearbeitet sind, wollen wir, unter Anschluss an einen weiten Begriff von Meditation, deutlich machen, dass Meditation eine anthropologische Lebens- und Erfahrungsform ist, deren Praxis weiterer Aufmerksamkeit und Erforschung bedarf.

Mindfulness meditation has two components: focused attention (FA) meditation and open-monitoring (OM) meditation. Based on traditional Buddhist principles, it is recommended that FA meditation be practiced prior to OM meditation. However, the influence of the order in which these meditations are practiced on the efficacy of interventions has not yet been empirically investigated. This study examined the effects of the order of FA and OM meditation on the level and process of acquiring mindfulness skills. Thirty-three Japanese undergraduate and graduate students who were meditation novices completed the intervention. Participants were assigned to three groups: the group practicing 4-week FA meditation prior to 4-week OM meditation (FA-OM group), the group practicing meditation in reverse order (OM-FA group), and the wait-list control group. Each meditation training session consisted of one 1-hour group session per week and a 15-min daily homework. All participants were assessed for trait mindfulness once a week. The results showed that the FA-OM group scored higher than the control group for most mindfulness skills. In addition, awareness, describing, acceptance, and observing skills increased earlier in the FA-OM group than in the OM-FA group. However, the skill of staying aware at the present moment increased earlier in the OM-FA group than in the FA-OM group. These results suggest that the order of practicing the two meditations primarily influences the process of acquiring mindfulness skills rather than the level of skills, and that it is reasonable to practice FA meditation prior to OM meditation to cultivate mindfulness skills for novices.

This paper deals with the book of Meditations (Meditationes nova et absolutissima methodo pro maiori meditantium commoditate digestae […], in: Nicolai Lancicii e Societate Jesu Opusculorum spiritualium tomus secundus, Antuerpiae: Apud Iacobum Meursium, 1650) by Nicolaus Lancicius, a prominent Polish-Lithuanian Jesuit. It is one of the early examples of the Jesuit devotional literature in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is obvious that Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises were the model for Lancicius’s Meditations. This article compares their approach to prayer and the contexts of their use in an attempt to delineate the subtle changes in the application of the Jesuitic spiritual education that took place by the mid-seventeenth century. There are obvious differences in the structure and intent: Exercises were conceived as a four-week retreat with the aim of making an important life decision, while Meditations cover, both temporally and thematically, the span of the entire liturgical year and are intended as a tool of spiritual and theological education, primarily for Jesuit novices. Both Lancicius and Loyola see meditating as a prayer technique that liberates the praying from the written text of the New Testament. Reading is substituted with imagination, as the object of meditation is a mental image constructed according to the readable (or, indeed, audible) instructions. Both Jesuits emphasize the need to aspire to (moral) perfection, the imperative to cultivate virtue, and one’s personal connection to God. In Meditations, these are achieved through the application of the exercises conceived by Loyola himself: the examination of conscience, the second mode of prayer (contemplating a sacred text word by word), and meditation. They are freely rearranged by Lancicius into new units, involving and developing, at different times, one’s imagination, cogitation, memory, willpower, and feeling capacities. In this respect, Lancicius’s Meditations is the exercise prior to Loyola’s Exercises, familiarizing the Jesuit novices with the techniques of Ignatian prayer and helping them develop a deeply personal approach to the New Testament and the liturgy.

This paper deals with the particularly relevant topic in the contemporary society – Asian meditative practices and methods of self-development. The first chapter deals with the notion of contemplative, enlightened consciousness in Daoism and Zen. The second chapter shows how meditative consciousness could be achieved through social tango. Six theses are argued as appropriate for both Daoism and Zen as well as tango: 1) contemplative, purified consciousness is empty of disturbing thoughts and focused toward the essence; 2) contemplative, purified consciousness is not only empty but also brimming full; 3) contemplative, purified consciousness is identical with everyday mind; 4) contemplative mind is functioning according to the principles of non-action and naturalness; 5) meditation leads toward the unity and integrity of consciousness and body, consciousness and outside world; 6) active meditation is an effective way to obtain aims mentioned above. The argumentation of such thesis helps to show that tango is akin to various meditative practices. So it could not only be successfully used as a form of entertainment but also as a meditative practice, leading toward aims, similar to those of Zen meditations.

ABSTRACT Background: Bhramari pranayama, a yogic technique comprises a selfvocalized humming sound emulating a female bumblebee. Attention to this sound leads to a meditative state. The component of its stimuli, the sustained self-evoked humming sound with breath control, is overt unlike the stimuli of most of the meditations. These observable and measurable components of Bhramari pranayama offer a rare opportunity to study the causal component of meditation in research. Objectives: Considering the growing interest in this area, Bhramari’s potential as a unique research tool, and a framework of the mechanism of it leading to meditation is attempted. Methods: We review relevant current scientific literature and classical yoga texts to understand the framework of how the overt features of Bhramari pranayama cause the meditative state. We present our argument in three sections, where we present the Bhramari pranayama practice into its sub-components, namely i) pranayama, ii) Bhramari sound-producing phase, and iii) Shanmukhi practice. Findings: This has facilitated the identification of the measurable attributes of Bhramari like fundamental frequency, resonant vibrations, articulation, etc. Concepts related to its processing like efference copy, corollary discharge, and sense of agency, are also observable in electrophysiological investigations. This information would be useful to harness the therapeutic benefits of Bhramari pranayama due to its ability to produce self-evoked resonant vibrations, sensory entrainment, and gamma waves, that have specific clinical significance. Novelty: This framework elucidates the mechanism of how the overt, observable, and measurable features of Bhramari Pranayama cause meditation. It presents the relation between breath and self-vocalized acoustics, that produce synchrony among multisensory systems to facilitate meditation. Keywords: Bhramari Pranayama; Meditation; Self-evoked sound; Resonance; Sensory entrainment

This paper is a pioneering attempt to draw attention to the connection between meditation and creativity. The author compares the creative process to the process of meditation. Meditation, just like the creative process, results in a piece of creative work, which informs us about the possibility of using meditation as a creative technique with the aim of improving our creativity. The first part of the paper defines the basic concepts: creativity and meditation. The paper goes on to inform us about the place that meditation takes in contemporary psychology. The author explains that various kinds of meditation techniques can be divided into two groups: concentration meditations and mindfulness (or vipassana) meditations. The paper gives special attention to higher states of consciousness or the so called flow that can be described as the optimal state of consciousness in which levels of cognitive functioning are at themaximum. There are also examples illustrating how the skills that help us get into the flow state are developed. The conclusion is that meditation directly increases one’s ability to assess the quality of the content one is dealing with, whether it is by observing, using or creating it. Although this area has not been the subject of scientific studies so far, based on some case studies (involving meditation masters), it can be confidently stated that there is a clear connection between meditation and creativity, meaning that people who meditate regularly are at the same time increasing their creative abilities and creative output.

Self-discipline and goal-oriented behavior are vital characteristics that are crucial in pursuing personal and professional success. Among various methods to cultivate these traits, meditation - a time-honored practice emphasizing mindfulness and self-awareness - has emerged as a particularly effective approach. This paper delves into how meditation fosters self-discipline and focuses on achieving long-term objectives, drawing on a wealth of scientific research and concrete applications. In exploring this topic, the paper highlights the cognitive transformations that occur through regular meditative practices, such as enhanced concentration and improved decision-making skills. It also examines the emotional benefits, including increased resilience in the face of challenges and a greater capacity for managing stress. Moreover, the behavioral effects are considered, illustrating how meditation encourages consistent routines and promotes an intentional alignment of one's actions with overarching goals. By providing detailed insights into these various dimensions, the paper sheds light on meditation's transformative potential for individuals eager to harmonize their daily actions with their aspirations, ultimately guiding them toward a more focused and fulfilling life. This paper delves into the profound ways in which meditation affects self-discipline and fosters goal-oriented behavior, exploring its numerous benefits, the underlying mechanisms at play, and its practical applications for individuals seeking to enhance their focus and productivity. .

Recent neuroimaging studies of brain function have led to an explosion of knowledge about psychological processes and states. In this paper functional brain imaging studies of Yoga meditation are reviewed. Tantra-based meditations activate frontal and occipital cortical regions involved in focused, sustained attention and visual imagery. The overall pattern of brain activation in Tantra-based meditations is similar to that of self-hypnosis but different from that of sleep onset. Pure consciousness, the ultimate aim of Vedanta-based meditation, also activates frontal cortical areas regulating focused attention but deactivates sensory areas involved in imagery. Functional brain imaging studies thus support the distinction between meditation with conceptual support and pure-consciousness meditation without conceptual support, a distinction that appears throughout Yoga meditation texts. Brain imaging investigations also explain how Yoga therapy may be helpful to those with anxiety disorders by reducing activity in brain regions linked to the processing of negative emotions.

Sympathetic activation is required for attention. Separate studies have shown that meditation ( a) improves attention and ( b) reduces sympathetic activity. The present study assessed attention with the P300 and sympathetic activity with heart rate variability (HRV). Forty-seven male subjects (group mean age ± SD, 21.6 ± 3.4 years) were assessed in 4 mental states: ( a) random thinking, ( b) nonmeditative focusing, ( c) meditative focusing, and ( d) defocused meditation. These were recorded on 4 consecutive days. HRV, respiration, and P300 event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded before and after the sessions. Data were analyzed with repeated-measures analysis of variance followed by post hoc analysis. HRV showed a significant increase in low-frequency (LF) power, decrease in high-frequency (HF) power and an increase in average heart rate based on the average R-R interval after meditative focusing, compared with before. In contrast, the average heart rate decreased after defocused meditation compared with before. There was a significant increase in the P300 peak amplitude after meditative focusing and defocused meditation, with a reduction in peak latency after defocused meditation. These results suggest that after meditation with focusing, there was sympathetic arousal whereas after defocused meditation, there was a decrease in the average heart rate while participants carried out the P300 auditory oddball task sooner.

The purpose of the article is to determine genre parameters of meditation for the organ on the example of the pieces of composers of the early 21st century. It is proposed to concretize the prerequisites of meditation for organ as an independent genre and to compare the strategies of reading the genre by representatives of different national schools of composition (Italy, Ukraine, Brazil). Among the research methods there were used: historiographic (restoring the historical retrospective of genre formation), the method of genre analysis (confirming the genre status of meditation), the method of style determination in combination with the comparative method (comparing the strategies of reading the genre by composers of different nationalities). The novelty of the proposed topic lies in the identification of the genre status of meditation for the organ and the introduction into the musicological discourse of works that have not previously come to the attention of Ukrainian researchers. Conclusions. Meditations “Shiva” by K. Ferrari, “And there was night, and there was morning, and there were quiet heavenly flutes...” by M. Shukh and Prelude-Meditation by F. Costa make it possible to define meditation as an independent genre of organ art with a constant set of stable indicators. Meditation for the organ is a concert piece that belongs to the genres of cult-ritual music and is characterized by an introverted structure of the communicative act. All works with a similar genre name are united by a single semantic field of religious contemplation. The compositional foundations of meditation as a genre consist in the multiple repetition of structures (of different scales) with a clear “looseness” of the form, which guarantees the tightness of the same sound environment and the monochromatic text. Stylistic characteristics became variable components of the meditation: the meditative profile of “Shiva” by C. Ferrari is emphasized by the using of techniques of minimalism, in the piece by M. Shukh the emphasis is transferred to the timbre of the organ with appeal to the intonation of oriental music, and in the Prelude-meditation by F. Costa attempts to build a new sound universe, as extended scale of the overtone series.
