Meditation is a
practice where an individual
trains the mind or induces a mode of
consciousness, either to realize some
benefit, or for the
mind to simply
acknowledge its
content without becoming
identified with that content, or as an end in itself.

Every
now and then you have to take a
break
because our
physical health and
mental health depends on it. And
meditation is a convenient way to
relax, reconnect,
balance and reenergize our well
being. Our lives can easily become
disconnected from
reality. So we need to
unplug and step back once in a
while in order to
reassess our
baseline.
And sometimes we need to
reboot and
start over fresh.

Breathing - The Cycle of Air coming In and Air going Out
Breathing is the process that moves
air in and out
of the
lungs, inhalation and
exhalation, drawing
air into, and expelling air out of, the lungs; the
process of taking in
oxygen from inhaled
air and
releasing
carbon dioxide by exhalation. Passing or able to pass air in and
out of the
lungs normally; sometimes used in combination.
Air Pressure -
Focused Breathing
Respiration is a
single complete act of breathing in and out, the
metabolic processes whereby certain
organisms obtain
energy from organic
molecules; processes
that take place in the
cells and
tissues during which
energy is
released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be
transported to the lungs.

Breathing tips to improve
learning.
Breathing through the Nose forces
us to
slow down until proper breath is
trained; therefore,
proper nose
breathing reduces hypertension and stress. It also helps prevent us from
overexerting ourselves during a workout. Our nostrils and sinuses filter
and warm/cool air as it enters our bodies. Mouth breathing bypasses the
nasal mucosa and makes regular breathing difficult, which can lead to
snoring, breath
irregularities and sleep apnea.

Bradycardia
is a slow heart rate, defined as a
heart rate of under 60 beats per minute
or BPM in adults.
Diaphragmatic
Deep Breathing or
Belly
Breathing is breathing that is done by contracting the diaphragm,
which is a muscle located horizontally between the thoracic cavity and
abdominal cavity. Air enters the lungs and the belly expands during this
type of breathing. This deep breathing is marked by
expansion of the abdomen rather than the
chest when breathing.
Diaphragm
is a muscular partition separating the
abdominal cavity
from the
thoracic cavity that contains the
heart and
lungs. The
diaphragm performs an important function in respiration. As the diaphragm contracts,
the volume of the thoracic cavity increases and air is drawn into the lungs.
The
thoracic
diaphragm is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle in humans and other
mammals that extends across the bottom of the
thoracic cavity.

Gas Buildup.
Ujjayi Breath
is a diaphragmatic breath, which first fills the lower belly (activating
the first and second chakras), rises to the lower rib cage (the third and
fourth chakras), and finally moves into the upper chest and throat. The
technique is very similar to the three-part Tu-Na breathing found in
Taoist Qigong practice. Inhalation and exhalation are both done through
the nose. The "ocean sound" is created by moving the glottis as air passes
in and out. As the throat passage is narrowed so, too, is the airway, the
passage of air through which creates a "rushing" sound. The length and
speed of the breath is controlled by the diaphragm, the strengthening of
which is, in part, the purpose of ujjayi. The inhalations and exhalations
are equal in duration, and are controlled in a manner that causes no
distress to the practitioner.

Shallow Breathing
is
thoracic breathing, or chest breathing is the drawing of minimal breath
into the lungs, usually by drawing air into the chest area using the
intercostal muscles rather than throughout the lungs via the diaphragm.
Shallow breathing can result in or be symptomatic of rapid breathing and
hypoventilation. Most people who breathe shallowly do it throughout the
day and are almost always unaware of the condition. In upper lobar
breathing, clavicular breathing, or clavicle breathing air is drawn
predominantly into the chest by the raising of the shoulders and
collarbone (clavicles), and simultaneous contracting of the abdomen during
inhalation. Maximum amount of air can be drawn this way only for short
periods of time, since it requires a lot of effort. When used for
prolonged time, this is the most superficial mode of shallow breathing.
Thoracic relates to the chest or
thorax, which is the part of the human torso between the neck and the
diaphragm.

Box Breathing is
a technique used in taking slow, deep breaths. This can heighten
performance and concentration while also being a powerful stress reliever.
Step 1: Sitting upright, slowly exhale,
getting all the oxygen out of your lungs. Focus on this intention and be
conscious of what you’re doing.
Step 2:
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose to the count of four. In this
step, count to four very slowly in your head. Feel the air fill your
lungs, one section at a time, until your lungs are completely full and the
air moves into your abdomen.
Step 3: Hold
your breath for another slow count of four.
Step
4: Exhale through your mouth for the same slow count of four,
expelling the air from your lungs and abdomen. Be conscious of the feeling
of the air leaving your lungs.
Step 5: Hold
your breath for the same slow count of four before repeating this process.

Breath.
Hyperventilation
occurs when the rate and quantity of alveolar ventilation of
carbon dioxide exceeds the body's production of carbon dioxide. When alveolar
ventilation is excessive, more carbon dioxide will be removed from the
blood stream than the body can produce. This causes the concentration of
carbon dioxide in the blood stream to fall and produces a state known as hypocapnia, which is a state of reduced carbon dioxide in the blood. The
body normally attempts to compensate for this metabolically. If excess
ventilation cannot be compensated metabolically, it will lead to a rise in
blood pH. This rise in blood pH is
known as respiratory alkalosis. When hyperventilation leads to respiratory
alkalosis, it may cause a number of physical symptoms: dizziness, tingling
in the lips, hands or feet, headache, weakness, fainting and seizures. In
extreme cases it can cause carpopedal spasms (flapping and contraction of
the hands and feet).
Over-Breathing -
Chaotic Breathing.
Bohr
Effect is when
hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is inversely related both to
acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide
reacts with water to form carbonic acid, an increase in CO2 results in a
decrease in blood pH, resulting in hemoglobin proteins releasing their
load of oxygen. Conversely, a decrease in carbon dioxide provokes an
increase in pH, which results in hemoglobin picking up more oxygen.

Buteyko
Breathing Method.
Nasal breathing: The
Buteyko method emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing, which
protects the airways by humidifying, warming, and cleaning the air
entering the lungs. A majority of asthmatics have problems sleeping at
night, and this is thought by Buteyko practitioners to be linked with poor
posture or unconscious mouth-breathing. By keeping the nose clear and
encouraging nasal breathing during the day, night-time symptoms can also
improve. Strictly nasal breathing during physical exercise is another key
element of the Buteyko method.
Reduced breathing
exercises: The core Buteyko exercises involve breath control;
consciously reducing either breathing rate or breathing volume. Many
teachers refer to Buteyko as 'breathing retraining' and compare the method
to learning to ride a bicycle. Once time has been spent practicing, the
techniques become instinctive and the exercises are gradually phased out
as the condition improves. Buteyko uses a measurement called the Control
Pause (CP), the amount of time between breaths that an individual can
comfortably hold breath. According to Buteyko teachers, people with asthma
who regularly practice Buteyko breathing will notice an increase in CP and
decrease in pulse rate that corresponds to decreased asthma symptoms.
Relaxation: Dealing with asthma attacks is
an important factor of Buteyko practice. The first feeling of an asthma
attack is unsettling and can result in a short period of rapid breathing.
By controlling this initial over-breathing phase, asthmatics can prevent a
"vicious circle of over-breathing" from developing and spiraling into an
asthma attack. This theory asserts that asthma attacks may be averted
simply by breathing less.
When changes in
heart
rate are analyzed formally, as in a
Differential Fourier Transform by frequency, the predominant frequency ranges of heart rate variability
can identified by their higher amplitudes. Three such relatively high
amplitude frequency ranges have been proven to be sensitive indicators of
autonomic nervous system regulation and associated changes in emotion,
alertness, attention, and stress. These are the
Very Low Frequency (VLF,
0.0033 to 0.04 Hz), Low Frequency (LF, 0.04 to 0.15 Hz), and High
frequency (HF, 0.15 to 0.4 Hz, RSA, or breathing heart wave) ranges.
Monitoring and recording HRV in these frequency bands has proven useful in
tracking and evaluating autonomic nervous system function.
To circulate the Vital Breath: Breathe
deeply, then it will collect. When it is collected, it will expand. When
it expands, it will descend. When it descends, it will become stable. When
it is stable, it will be regular. When it is regular, it will sprout. When
it sprouts, it will grow. When it grows, it will recede. When it recedes,
it will become heavenly. The dynamism of Heaven is revealed in the
ascending; The dynamism of Earth is revealed in the descending. Follow
this and you will live; oppose it and you will die. (
tr.
Roth 1997:298).
Inhale through your
Nose and Exhale through your Mouth. Breathing is a way that can
provide a
powerful medical benefit that can help the body
fight viral infections. The reason is that your nasal cavities produce
the molecule nitric oxide, which chemists abbreviate NO, that increases
blood flow through the lungs and boosts oxygen levels in the blood.
Breathing in through the nose delivers NO directly into the lungs. The
higher oxygen saturation of the blood can make one feel more refreshed and
provides greater endurance. Nitric oxide is a widespread signaling
molecule that triggers many different physiological effects. It is also
used clinically as a gas to selectively dilate the pulmonary arteries in
newborns with pulmonary hypertension. Unlike most signaling molecules, NO
is a gas in its natural state. NO is produced continuously by the 1
trillion cells that form the inner lining, or endothelium, of the 100,000
miles of arteries and veins in our bodies, especially the lungs.
Endothelium-derived NO acts to relax the smooth muscle of the arteries to
prevent high blood pressure and to promote blood flow to all organs.
Another vital role of NO is to prevent blood clots in normal arteries. In
addition to relaxing vascular smooth muscle, NO also relaxes smooth muscle
in the airways – trachea and bronchioles – making it easier to breathe.
Another type of NO-mediated smooth muscle relaxation occurs in the
erectile tissue (corpus cavernosum), which results in penile erection. In
fact, NO is the principal mediator of penile erection and sexual arousal.
This discovery led to the development and marketing of sildenafil, trade
name Viagra, which works by enhancing the action of NO. Other types of
cells in the body, including circulating white blood cells and tissue
macrophages, produce nitric oxide for antimicrobial purposes. The NO in
these cells reacts with other molecules, also produced by the same cells,
to form antimicrobial agents to destroy invading microorganisms including
bacteria, parasites and viruses. As you can see, NO is quite an amazing
molecule. Since NO is a gas, it can be administered with the aid of
specialized devices as a therapy to patients by inhalation. Inhaled NO is
used to treat infants born with persistent pulmonary hypertension, a
condition in which constricted pulmonary arteries limit blood flow and
oxygen harvesting. Inhaled NO dilates the constricted pulmonary arteries
and increases blood flow in the lungs. As a result, the red blood cell
hemoglobin can extract more lifesaving oxygen and move it into the general
circulation. Inhaled NO has literally turned blue babies pink and allowed
them to be cured and to go home with mom and dad. Before the advent of
inhaled NO, most of these babies died.
Nitric Oxide is a colorless gas with the formula
NO. It is one of the principal oxides of
nitrogen. Nitric oxide is a free radical, i.e., it has an
unpaired electron, which is
sometimes denoted by a dot in its chemical formula (·N=O or ·NO). Nitric
oxide is also a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, a historic class that
drew researches which spawned early modern theories of chemical bonding.
An important intermediate in industrial chemistry, nitric oxide forms in
combustion systems and can be generated by lightning in thunderstorms. In
mammals, including humans, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule in many
physiological and pathological processes. Nitric oxide should not be
confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), an anesthetic, or with nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), a brown gas and major air pollutant.
Nitrous Oxide commonly known as
laughing gas
or nitrous, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula
N2O. At room temperature, it is a
colourless non-flammable gas, with a slight metallic scent and taste. At
elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to
molecular oxygen. It is soluble in water. Nitrous oxide has significant
medical uses, especially in surgery and dentistry, for its anaesthetic and
pain reducing effects. inhaling it, a property that has led to its
recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic. It is on the World Health
Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective
medicines needed in a health system. Nitrous oxide occurs in small amounts
in the atmosphere, but has been found to be a major scavenger of
stratospheric ozone, with an impact comparable to that of CFCs. It is
estimated that 30% of the N2O in the atmosphere is the result of human
activity, chiefly agriculture and industry. Being the third most important
long-lived greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide substantially contributes to
global warming.
How breathing shapes our brain. We breathe to survive. But a breath of
fresh air does more than fill our lungs. New research indicates that
breathing impacts our emotions, attention and how we can process the
outside world.

Brainwave Entrainment
or
Brainwave Synchronization
refers to the capacity of the brain to naturally
synchronize its brainwave
frequencies with the
rhythm of periodic
external stimuli, most commonly
auditory, visual, or tactile. Brainwave
entrainment technologies are
used to induce various brain states, such as
relaxation or
sleep, by
creating
stimuli that occur at regular,
periodic intervals to mimic
electrical cycles of the
brain during the desired states, thereby
"
training" the brain to consciously alter states. Recurrent acoustic
frequencies, flickering lights, or
tactile vibrations are the most common
examples of
stimuli applied to generate different
sensory responses.
Interacting brains sync without physical presence. Researchers from
the University of Helsinki demonstrated that the brains of people playing
an online game together were
synchronized
without physical presence. Research has shown that people's brains
activate in a similar and
simultaneous way during social interaction. Such inter-brain neural
synchronization has been linked with
empathy and
cooperation in face-to-face situations. However, its role in online,
remote interaction has
remained unknown.

Neural Oscillation is
rhythmic or repetitive
neural activity in the
central nervous system. Neural tissue can generate oscillatory activity in
many ways, driven either by mechanisms within individual neurons or by
interactions between neurons. In individual neurons,
oscillations can
appear either as oscillations in membrane potential or as rhythmic
patterns of
action potentials, which then produce oscillatory activation
of post-synaptic
neurons. At the level of neural ensembles, synchronized
activity of large numbers of neurons can give rise to macroscopic
oscillations, which can be observed in an
electroencephalogram.
Oscillatory activity in groups of neurons generally arises from feedback
connections between the neurons that result in the synchronization of
their firing
patterns. The interaction between neurons can give rise to
oscillations at a different frequency than the firing frequency of
individual neurons. A well-known example of macroscopic neural
oscillations is alpha activity.

Mind
Machine uses pulsing rhythmic sound, flashing light, electrical or

user's brainwaves. Mind machines can induce deep states of relaxation,
concentration, and in some cases altered states of consciousness, which
have been compared to those obtained from meditation and shamanic
exploration. Photic mind machines work with flickering lights embedded in
sunglasses. The process applied by some of these machines is said to
induce
brainwave synchronization or entrainment.
Binaural Beats is an
auditory illusion perceived
when
two different pure-tone sine waves, both with frequencies lower than
1500 Hz, with less than a 40
Hz difference between
them, are presented to a listener dichotically (one through each ear). For
example, if a 530 Hz pure tone is presented to a subject's right ear,
while a 520 Hz pure tone is presented to the subject's left ear, the
listener will perceive the auditory illusion of a third tone, in addition
to the two pure-tones presented to each ear. The third sound is called a
binaural beat, and in this example would have a perceived pitch
correlating to a frequency of 10 Hz, that being the difference between the
530 Hz and 520
Hz pure tones presented to each ear.
Delta Wave
is a high amplitude brain wave with a frequency of oscillation between
0.5 - 4 hertz. Delta waves, like other
brain waves, are recorded with an
electroencephalogram (EEG) and are usually associated with the
deep stage 3 of NREM sleep,
also known as
slow-wave sleep
(SWS), and aid in characterizing the depth of sleep.

Theta
Wave is a neural oscillatory pattern in electroencephalography (EEG)
signals (
4 – 7 Hz), recorded either from
inside the brain or from electrodes glued to the scalp. Two types of theta
rhythm have been described. The "hippocampal theta rhythm" is a strong
oscillation that can be observed in the
hippocampus and other brain
structures in numerous species of mammals including rodents, rabbits,
dogs, cats, bats, and marsupials. "Cortical theta rhythms" are
low-frequency components of scalp EEG, usually recorded from humans. Theta
rhythms can be quantified using Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG)
using freely available toolboxes, such as, EEGLAB or the
Neurophysiological Biomarker Toolbox (NBT).

Alpha Wave are
neural oscillations in the frequency range of
7.5 – 12.5 Hz arising from
synchronous and coherent (in phase or constructive) electrical activity of
thalamic pacemaker cells in humans. They are also called Berger's wave in
memory of the founder of EEG. Alpha waves are one type of brain waves
detected either by
electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography
(MEG) and predominantly originate from the occipital lobe during wakeful
relaxation with closed eyes. Alpha waves are reduced with open eyes,
drowsiness and
sleep. Historically, they were thought to represent the
activity of the
visual cortex in an idle state. More recent papers have
argued that they inhibit areas of the cortex not in use, or alternatively
that they play an active role in network coordination and communication.
Occipital alpha waves during periods of eyes closed are the strongest EEG
brain signals.

into three sections: Low Beta Waves (12.5–16 Hz, "Beta 1 power"); Beta
Waves (16.5–20 Hz, "Beta 2 power"); and High Beta Waves (20.5–28 Hz, "Beta

Gamma Wave is a
pattern of neural oscillation in
humans with a frequency between
25 and 140 Hz, though 40 Hz
or 62-78
MHz is typical. Gamma
rhythms are correlated with large scale
brain network activity and
cognitive phenomena such as working
memory,
attention,
and
perceptual grouping, and can be increased
in amplitude via
meditation or
neurostimulation. Altered gamma activity
has been observed in many
mood disorders and
cognitive disorders.
Sustained gamma waves fire when you have a spark of creativity, or imagine
something particularly visceral. For most people, gamma wave bursts last
less than a second.
Processing
Information.
Slow, steady waves keep brain humming. Researchers have found that
very slow waves are directly linked to state of
consciousness and may be
involved in coordinating activity across distant brain regions.

Q Factor
is a dimensionless parameter that describes how under-damped an oscillator
or resonator is, and characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its
center frequency. Higher Q indicates a lower rate of energy loss
relative to the stored energy of the resonator; the oscillations die out
more slowly. A pendulum suspended from a high-quality bearing, oscillating
in air, has a high Q, while a pendulum immersed in oil has a low one.
Resonators with high quality factors have low damping so that they ring or
vibrate longer.
Resonance is a
phenomenon in which a
vibrating system or external force drives another
system to oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential
frequency. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative
maximum are known as the system's resonant frequencies or resonance
frequencies. At resonant frequencies, small periodic driving forces have
the ability to produce large amplitude oscillations, due to the storage of vibrational energy.
Schumann Resonances are a set of spectrum
peaks in the extremely low frequency or ELF portion of the Earth's
electromagnetic field
spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances,
generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the

Deep Brain Stimulation is a
neurosurgical
procedure introduced in 1987, involving the implantation of a medical
device called a neurostimulator (sometimes referred to as a 'brain
pacemaker'), which sends electrical impulses, through implanted
electrodes, to specific targets in the brain (brain nuclei) for the
treatment of movement and neuropsychiatric disorders. DBS in select brain
regions has provided therapeutic benefits for
otherwise-treatment-resistant disorders such as Parkinson's disease,
essential tremor, dystonia, chronic pain, major depression and
obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Despite the long history of DBS, its
underlying principles and mechanisms are still not clear. DBS directly
changes brain activity in a controlled manner, its effects are reversible
(unlike those of lesioning techniques), and it is one of only a few
neurosurgical methods that allow blinded studies
Electrical Conduction System of the Heart transmits
signals generated usually by the sinoatrial node to cause contraction of
the heart muscle. The pacemaking signal generated in the sinoatrial node
travels through the right atrium to the atrioventricular node, along the
Bundle of His and through bundle branches to cause contraction of the
heart muscle. This
signal stimulates contraction first of the right and left atrium, and then
the right and left ventricles. This process allows blood to be pumped
throughout the body. The conduction system consists of specialized heart
muscle cells, and is situated within the myocardium. There is a skeleton
of fibrous tissue that surrounds the conduction system which can be seen
on an ECG. Dysfunction of the conduction system can cause irregular, fast,
or slow heart rhythms.
Sinoatrial Node
is a group of cells located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart.
These cells have the ability to spontaneously produce an electrical
impulse action potential that travels through the heart via the electrical
conduction system causing it to contract. In a healthy heart, the SAN
continuously produces
action
potential, setting the rhythm of the heart and so is known as the
hearts natural pacemaker. The rate of action potential production (and
therefore the
heart rate)
is influenced by nerves that supply it.

Frisson
is a sensation somewhat like
shivering, usually caused by stimuli other
than cold. It is typically expressed as an overwhelming emotional response
combined with piloerection (goosebumps). Stimuli that produce a response
are specific to the individual. Frisson is of short duration, usually no
more than 4–5 seconds, usually pleasurable. Typical stimuli include loud
passages of music and passages that violate some level of musical
expectation. It has been shown that during frisson, the skin of the lower
back flexes, and shivers rise upward and inward from the shoulders, up the
neck, and may extend to the cheeks and scalp. The face may become flush,
hair follicles experience piloerection. This frequently occurs in a series
of 'waves' moving up the back in rapid succession. The frissoner usually
feels the experience as involuntary. It has been shown that some
experiencing musical frisson report reduced excitement when under
administration of naloxone (an opioid receptor antagonist), suggesting
musical frisson gives rise to endogenous opioid peptides similar to other
pleasurable experiences. Frisson may be enhanced by the amplitude of the
music and the temperature of the environment. Cool listening rooms and
movie theaters may enhance the experience.

An ocean in your brain: Interacting brain waves key to how we process
information. Scientists show how the brain responds differently to
seeing the same thing under
different
conditions. For years, the brain has been thought of as a biological
computer that
processes information through traditional circuits, whereby data zips
straight from
one cell to another.
While that model is still accurate, a new study shows that there's also a
second, very different way that the brain parses information: through the
interactions of waves of
neural
activity. The findings help researchers better understand how the
brain processes information. Researchers have long known that waves of
electrical activity exist in the brain, both during sleep and wakefulness.
But the underlying theories as to how the brain processes information --
particularly
sensory information, like
the sight of a light or the sound of a bell -- have revolved around
information being detected by specialized brain cells and then shuttled
from one neuron to the next like a relay. This traditional model of the
brain, however, couldn't explain how a single sensory cell can react so
differently to the same thing under different conditions. A cell, for
instance, might become activated in response to a quick flash of light
when an animal is particularly alert, but will remain inactive in response
to the same light if the animal's
attention is
focused on something else. Gepshtein likens the
new understanding to
wave-particle duality in physics and chemistry -- the idea that light
and matter have properties of both particles and waves. In some
situations, light behaves as if it is a particle (also known as a photon).
In other situations, it behaves as if it is a wave. Particles are confined
to a specific location, and waves are distributed across many locations.
Both views of light are needed to explain its complex behavior. The best
way to explain how the neurons were behaving, they discovered, was through
interaction of microscopic waves of activity rather than interaction of
individual neurons. Rather than a flash of light activating specialized
sensory cells, the researchers showed how it creates distributed patterns:
waves of activity across many neighboring cells, with alternating peaks
and troughs of activation -- like ocean waves. When these waves are being
simultaneously generated in different places in the brain, they inevitably
crash into one another. If two peaks of activity meet, they generate an
even higher activity, while if a trough of low activity meets a peak, it
might cancel it out. This process is called wave interference.
Voice Frequency - Words that Resonate
Human Voice Frequency is one of the
frequencies, within part of the
audio range, that is used for the
transmission of speech. In telephony, the usable voice frequency band
ranges from approximately
300 Hz to 3400 Hz. It is for this reason that
the ultra low frequency band of the electromagnetic spectrum between 300
and 3000 Hz is also referred to as voice frequency, being the
electromagnetic energy that represents acoustic energy at baseband. The
bandwidth allocated for a single voice-frequency transmission channel is
usually 4 kHz, including guard bands, allowing a sampling rate of 8 kHz to
be used as the basis of the pulse code modulation system used for the
digital PSTN. Per the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem, the sampling
frequency (8 kHz) must be at least twice the highest component of the
voice frequency via appropriate filtering prior to sampling at discrete
times (4 kHz) for effective reconstruction of the
voice signal.
Human Voice consists of sound made by a
human being using the vocal folds for talking,
singing, laughing,
crying, screaming, etc. The human voice frequency is specifically a part
of human sound production in which the vocal folds (
vocal
cords) are the primary sound source. Other sound production mechanisms
produced from the same general area of the body involve the production of
unvoiced consonants, clicks, whistling and
whispering. Generally speaking,
the mechanism for generating the human voice can be subdivided into three
parts; the lungs, the vocal folds within the larynx, and the articulators.
The lung (the pump) must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to
vibrate vocal folds (this air pressure is the fuel of the voice). The
vocal folds (vocal cords) are a vibrating valve that chops up the airflow
from the lungs into audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source.
The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds
to ‘fine-tune’ pitch and tone. The articulators (the parts of the vocal
tract above the larynx consisting of tongue, palate, cheek, lips, etc.)
articulate and filter the sound emanating from the larynx and to some
degree can interact with the laryngeal airflow to strengthen it or weaken
it as a sound source. The vocal folds, in combination with the
articulators, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound.
The tone of voice may be modulated to suggest emotions such as anger,
surprise, or happiness. Singers use the human voice as an instrument for
creating music.

Acoustic Resonance is a phenomenon that
consists of a given acoustic system amplifying a sound whose frequency
matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance
frequencies). The term "acoustic resonance" is sometimes used to narrow
mechanical resonance to the frequency range of human hearing, but since
acoustics is defined in general terms concerning vibrational waves in
matter acoustic resonance can occur at frequencies outside the range of
human hearing. An acoustically resonant object usually has more than one
resonance frequency, especially at harmonics of the strongest resonance.
It will easily vibrate at those frequencies, and vibrate less strongly at
other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a
complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In
effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance.
Acoustic resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders,
as most acoustic instruments use resonators, such as the strings and body
of a violin, the length of tube in a flute, and the shape of a drum
membrane. Acoustic resonance is also important for hearing. For example,
resonance of a stiff structural element, called the basilar membrane
within the cochlea of the inner ear allows hair cells on the membrane to
detect sound. (For mammals the membrane has tapering resonances across its
length so that high frequencies are concentrated on one end and low
frequencies on the other.) Like mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance
can result in catastrophic failure of the vibrator. The classic example of
this is breaking a wine glass with sound at the precise resonant frequency
of the glass; although this is difficult in practice.
Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation or tRNS is a non-invasive
brain stimulation technique and a form of
transcranial electrical stimulation or tES. By using an alternate current
along with random amplitude and frequency (between
0.1 and 640 Hz) in healthy subjects, the motor cortex excitability
increased (i.e. increased amplitude of motor evoked potentials) for up to
60 minutes after 10 minutes of stimulation. The study included all the
frequencies up to half of the sampling rate (1280 samples/s) i.e. 640 Hz,
however the positive effect was limited only to higher frequencies.
Although tRNS has shown positive effects in various studies the optimal
parameters, as well as the potential clinical effects of this technique,
remain unclear.

Sounds Create Shapes
Cymatics is when
shapes and
patterns are created
from
sound wave vibrations, usually using the surface of a plate,
diaphragm or membrane. Regions of maximum and minimum displacement are
made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste or liquid. Different
patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the
plate and the
driving frequency.

Normal
Mode of an
oscillating system is a pattern of motion in which all
parts of the system move sinusoidally with the same frequency and with a
fixed phase relation. The free motion described by the normal modes takes
place at the fixed frequencies. These fixed frequencies of the normal
modes of a system are known as its natural frequencies or resonant
frequencies. A physical object, such as a building, bridge or molecule,
has a set of normal modes and their natural frequencies that depend on its
structure, materials and boundary conditions. The most general motion of a
system is a superposition of its normal modes. The modes are normal in the
sense that they can move independently, that is to say that an excitation
of one mode will never cause motion of a different mode. In mathematical
terms, normal modes are orthogonal to each other.

Ernst Chladni
did esearch on vibrating plates and the calculation of the speed of sound
for different gases. One of Chladni's best-known achievements was
inventing a technique to show the various modes of vibration on a rigid
surface, known as
Chladni figures due to
the various shapes or patterns created by various modes. When resonating,
a plate or membrane is divided into regions that vibrate in opposite
directions, bounded by lines where no vibration occurs (nodal lines).
Chladni repeated the pioneering experiments of Robert Hooke who, on July
8, 1680, had observed the nodal patterns associated with the vibrations of
glass plates. Hooke ran a violin bow along the edge of a plate covered
with flour and saw the nodal patterns emerge. Chladni's technique, first
published in 1787 in his book Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges
("Discoveries in the Theory of Sound"), consisted of drawing a bow over a
piece of metal whose surface was lightly covered with sand. The plate was
bowed until it reached resonance, when the vibration causes the sand to
move and concentrate along the nodal lines where the surface is still,
outlining the nodal lines. The patterns formed by these lines are what are
now called Chladni figures. Similar nodal patterns can also be found by
assembling microscale materials on Faraday waves.

Standing Wave is a wave which
oscillates in time but whose peak
amplitude profile
does not move in space. The peak amplitude of the wave oscillations at any
point in space is constant with time, and the oscillations at different
points throughout the wave are in phase. The locations at which the
amplitude is minimum are called
nodes, and
the locations where the amplitude is maximum are called
antinodes. This phenomenon can occur
because the
medium is moving in the opposite
direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a
result of
interference between two waves traveling
in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is
the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a
resonator due to
interference
between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant
frequency. For waves of equal amplitude traveling in opposing directions,
there is on average no net propagation of energy.
Node in physics is a point along a standing wave where the wave has
minimum amplitude. For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of
the string are nodes. By changing the position of the end node through
frets, the guitarist changes the effective length of the vibrating string
and thereby the
note played. The opposite of a node is an
anti-node, a
point where the amplitude of the standing wave is at maximum. These occur
midway between the nodes.
Resonance describes the phenomena of amplification that occurs when
the frequency of a periodically applied force is in harmonic proportion to
a natural frequency of the system on which it acts. When an oscillating
force is applied at a resonant frequency of a dynamical system, the system
will oscillate at a higher amplitude than when the same force is applied
at other, non-resonant frequencies. Frequencies at which the response
amplitude is a relative maximum are also known as resonant frequencies or
resonance frequencies of the system. Small periodic forces that are near a
resonant frequency of the system have the ability to produce large
amplitude oscillations in the system due to the storage of vibrational
energy.
Resonance phenomena occur with all types
of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic
resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),
electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions.
Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific
frequency (e.g., musical instruments), or pick out specific frequencies
from a complex vibration containing many frequencies (e.g., filters). The
term resonance (from Latin resonantia, 'echo', from resonare, 'resound')
originated from the field of acoustics, particularly the sympathetic
resonance observed in musical instruments, e.g., when one string starts to
vibrate and produce sound after a different one is struck. Another
example, electrical resonance, occurs in a circuit with capacitors and
inductors because the collapsing magnetic field of the inductor generates
an electric current in its windings that charges the capacitor, and then
the discharging capacitor provides an electric current that builds the
magnetic field in the inductor. Once the circuit is charged, the
oscillation is self-sustaining, and there is no external periodic driving
action. This is analogous to a mechanical pendulum, where mechanical
energy is converted back and forth between kinetic and potential, and both
systems are forms of simple harmonic oscillators.
Faraday Wave are nonlinear standing waves that appear on liquids
enclosed by a vibrating receptacle. When the vibration frequency exceeds a
critical value, the flat hydrostatic surface becomes unstable. This is
known as the Faraday instability.

Data Sonification is the presentation of data as sound using
sonification. It is the auditory equivalent of the more established
practice of
data visualization. The usual process
for data sonification is directing digital media of a dataset through a
software synthesizer and into a digital-to-analog converter to produce
sound for humans to experience. Applications of data sonification include
astronomy studies of star creation, interpreting cluster analysis, and
geoscience. Various projects describe the production of sonifications as a
collaboration between scientists and musicians. A target demographic for
using data sonification is the blind community because of the
inaccessibility of data visualizations.
Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or
perceptualize data. Auditory perception has advantages in temporal,
spatial, amplitude, and frequency resolution that open possibilities as an
alternative or complement to
visualization techniques.
Tuning Fork is an
acoustic
resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs (tines)
formed from a U-shaped bar of elastic metal (usually steel). It resonates
at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a
surface or with an object, and emits a
pure musical tone once the high
overtones fade out. The pitch that a particular tuning fork generates
depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. It is frequently used as
a standard of pitch to tune musical instruments.

Natural Frequency is the frequency at which a system tends to
oscillate in the absence of any driving or damping force. The motion
pattern of a system oscillating at its natural frequency is called the
normal mode (if all parts of the system move sinusoidally with that same
frequency). If the oscillating system is driven by an external force at
the frequency at which the amplitude of its motion is greatest (close to a
natural frequency of the system), this frequency is called resonant
frequency. (also known as
eigenfrequency).
Bell is a
directly struck idiophone
percussion
instrument. Most bells have the shape of a hollow cup that when struck
vibrates in a single strong strike tone, with its sides forming an
efficient resonator. The strike may be made by an internal "clapper" or
"uvula", an external hammer, or—in small bells—by a small loose sphere
enclosed within the body of the bell (jingle bell). Bells are usually cast
from bell metal (a type of bronze) for its resonant properties, but can
also be made from other hard materials; this depends on the function. Some
small bells such as ornamental bells or cowbells can be made from cast or
pressed metal, glass or ceramic, but large bells such as a church, clock
and tower bells are normally cast from bell metal. Bells intended to be
heard over a wide area can range from a single bell hung in a turret or
bell-gable, to a musical ensemble such as an English ring of bells, a
carillon or a Russian zvon which are tuned to a common scale and installed
in a bell tower. Many public or institutional buildings house bells, most
commonly as clock bells to sound the hours and quarters. Historically,
bells have been associated with religious rites, and are still used to
call communities together for religious services. Later, bells were made
to commemorate important events or people and have been associated with
the concepts of peace and freedom. The study of bells is called
campanology.
Mindfulness Bells (amazon)
Standing Bell is an inverted bell, supported from below with the rim
uppermost. Such bells are normally bowl-shaped, and exist in a wide range
of sizes, from a few centimetres to a metre in diameter. They are often
played by striking, but some—known as singing bowls—may also be played by
rotating a mallet around the outside rim to produce a sustained musical
note. Struck bowls are used in some Buddhist religious practices to
accompany periods of meditation and chanting. Struck and singing bowls are
widely used for music making, meditation and relaxation, as well for
personal spirituality. They have become popular with music therapists,
sound healers and yoga practitioners. Standing bells originated in China.
An early form called nao took the shape of a stemmed goblet, mounted with
rim uppermost, and struck on the outside with a mallet. The manufacture
and use of bowls specifically for 'singing' is believed to be a modern
phenomenon. Bowls that were capable of singing began to be imported to the
West from around the early 1970s. Since then they have become a popular
instrument in the US-originating new-age genre often marketed as 'Tibetan
music'.
Tubular Bells are musical instruments in the percussion family. Their
sound resembles that of church bells, carillon, or a bell tower; the
original tubular bells were made to duplicate the sound of church bells
within an ensemble. Each bell is a metal tube, 30–38 mm (1 1⁄4–1 1⁄2 in)
in diameter, tuned by altering its length. Its standard range is C4–F5,
though many professional instruments reach G5. Tubular bells are often
replaced by studio chimes, which are a smaller and usually less expensive
instrument. Studio chimes are similar in appearance to tubular bells, but
each bell has a smaller diameter than the corresponding bell on tubular
bells.
Wind
Chime are a type of
percussion
instrument constructed from suspended tubes, rods, bells or other
objects that are often made of metal or wood. The tubes or rods are
suspended along with some type of weight or surface which the tubes or
rods can strike when they or another wind-catching surface are blown by
the natural movement of air outside. They are usually hung outside of a
building or residence as a visual and aural garden ornament. Since the
percussion instruments are struck according to the random effects of the
wind blowing the chimes, wind chimes have been considered an example of
chance-based music. The tubes or rods may sound either indistinct pitches,
or fairly distinct pitches. Wind chimes that sound fairly distinct pitches
can, through the chance movement of air, create simple melodies or broken
chords.
Schlieren are
optical inhomogeneities in transparent material
not necessarily visible to the human eye.
Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses
devoid of these inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized
differences in optical path length that cause
light deviation. This light
deviation can produce localized brightening, darkening, or even color
changes in an image, depending on which way the ray deviates.

Binaural Recording is a method of recording
sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3-D
stereo sound sensation for the listener of actually being in the room with
the performers or instruments. This effect is often created using a
technique known as "dummy head recording", wherein a mannequin head is
outfitted with a microphone in each ear. Binaural recording is intended
for replay using headphones and will not translate properly over stereo
speakers. This idea of a three dimensional or "internal" form of sound has
also translated into useful advancement of technology in many things such
as stethoscopes creating "in-head" acoustics and IMAX movies being able to
create a three dimensional acoustic experience.
Psychoacoustics
is the scientific study of
sound
perception and audiology. More specifically, it is the branch of
science studying the psychological and physiological responses associated
with sound (including
noise, speech and music). It can be further categorized as a branch of
psychophysics. Psychoacoustics received its name from a field within
psychology—i.e., recognition science—which deals with all kinds of human
perceptions. It is an interdisciplinary field of many areas, including
psychology, acoustics, electronic engineering, physics, biology,
physiology, and computer science.

Ultrasound is sound
waves with
frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of
human hearing. Ultrasound is no
different from 'normal' (audible) sound in its physical properties, except
in that humans cannot hear it. This limit varies from person to person and
is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy young adults.
Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several
gigahertz. Ultrasound is used in many different fields. Ultrasonic devices
are used to detect objects and measure distances. Ultrasound imaging or
sonography is often used in medicine. In the nondestructive testing of
products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws.
Industrially, ultrasound is used for cleaning, mixing, and to accelerate
chemical processes. Animals such as bats and porpoises use ultrasound for
locating prey and obstacles. Scientists are also studying ultrasound using
graphene diaphragms as a method of
communication.
Ultrasonic is having frequencies above
those of
audible sound.
Researchers control mammalian cells with sound. Researchers pinpoint a
sound-sensitive mammalian protein that lets them activate brain, heart or
other cells with ultrasound.
Sonogenetics
is the use of ultrasound to non-invasively manipulate neurons and other
cells expressing exogenous protein channels.
The
process of
signal transduction uses
specific
frequencies traveling into the
cells, through each cell, specific frequencies travel efficiently through
the central nervous system without the disbursement of the energy of the
sound waves, which is an opposite effect
compared to white noise, as documented in the 2015 NCBI published report,
Journal ListFront Psycholv.6; 2015PMC4630540. Receptors of cells receive
environmental influences from chemical, heat, light and sound influences.
A simple visual example of how frequencies travel efficiently (or not)
through the central nervous system can be observed from cymatics. The
white noise has disburses its energy without direction, while other
specific frequencies will move matter into a geometric pattern, traveling
with least friction of the cytoplasm of the cellular walls.
Frequency Following Response is an evoked
potential generated by periodic
or nearly-periodic auditory stimuli. Part of the auditory brainstem
response (ABR), the FFR reflects sustained neural activity integrated over
a population of neural elements: "the brainstem response...can be divided
into transient and sustained portions, namely the onset response and the
frequency-following response (FFR)". It is often phase-locked to the
individual cycles of the stimulus waveform and/or the envelope of the
periodic stimuli. It has not been well studied with respect to its
clinical utility, although it can be used as part of a test battery for
helping to diagnose auditory neuropathy. This may be in conjunction with,
or as a replacement for, otoacoustic emissions.
Evoked Potential is an electrical potential recorded from the nervous
system of a human or other animal following presentation of a stimulus, as
distinct from spontaneous potentials as detected by
electroencephalography (EEG),
electromyography (EMG), or other electrophysiologic recording method. Such
potentials are useful for electrodiagnosis and monitoring. Evoked
potential amplitudes tend to be low, ranging from less than a microvolt to
several microvolts, compared to tens of microvolts for EEG, millivolts for
EMG, and often close to 20 millivolts for ECG. To resolve these
low-amplitude potentials against the background of ongoing EEG, ECG, EMG,
and other biological signals and ambient noise, signal averaging is
usually required. The signal is time-locked to the stimulus and most of
the noise occurs randomly, allowing the noise to be averaged out with
averaging of repeated responses. Signals can be recorded from cerebral
cortex, brain stem, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Usually the term
"evoked potential" is reserved for responses involving either recording
from, or stimulation of, central nervous system structures. Thus evoked
compound motor action potentials (CMAP) or sensory nerve action potentials
(SNAP) as used in nerve conduction studies (NCS) are generally not thought

Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves
can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never

with custom magnetic or electrical properties.

Honeycombs in the desert. Convection of salty water creates hexagonal
patterns. Why these structures form was previously unknown. It was assumed
that the salt crust of the desert dries out and cracks form from which the
hexagons grow. Another hypothesis explains the pattern formation by the
fact that the salt crust grows continuously and bends due to lack of
space, thus forming the patterns. Neither of these explanations, however,
can account for the always consistent size - one to two meters - and
honeycomb-like structure. A more plausible explanation has now been
provided by a team led by Jana Lasser, who conducts research at Graz
University of Technology and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and
Self-Organization. Together with scientists from Germany and England, she
concluded that convection, i.e. the circulation of salty water in the
subsurface, leads to the honeycomb salt patterns. This also explains the
constant size of the honeycombs of one to two meters and the speed at
which the patterns grow.

from a handful of players to circles with thousands of participants. Drum
circles are related to other community-based music gatherings such as
flute circles or vocal improvisation groups.

Being Grounded
Earthing System or
grounding system connects
specific parts of that installation with the Earth's conductive surface
for safety and functional purposes. The point of reference is the Earth's
conductive surface, or on ships, the surface of the sea. The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of
the installation. Regulations for earthing systems vary considerably among
countries and among different parts of
electrical systems, though many
follow the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical
Commission which are described below. This article only concerns grounding
for electrical power. Examples of other earthing systems are listed below
with links to articles: To protect a structure from
lightning strike,
directing the lightning through the earthing system and into the ground
rod rather than passing through the structure. As part of a single-wire
earth return power and signal lines, such as were used for low wattage
power delivery and for telegraph lines. In radio, as a ground plane for
large monopole antenna. As ancillary voltage balance for other kinds of
radio antennas, such as dipoles. As the feed-point of a ground dipole
antenna for VLF and ELF radio.
Ground in electricity is the reference point
in an
electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return
path for electric current, or
a direct physical connection to the Earth.
Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several
reasons. In mains powered equipment, exposed metal parts are connected to
ground to
prevent user contact with dangerous voltage when electrical
insulation fails. In electrical power distribution systems, a protective
ground conductor is an essential part of the safety Earthing system.
Connection to ground also limits the build-up of
static electricity when
handling flammable products or electrostatic-sensitive devices. In some
telegraph and power transmission circuits, the earth itself can be used as
one conductor of the circuit, saving the cost of installing a separate
return conductor (see single-wire earth return). For measurement purposes,
the Earth serves as a (reasonably) constant potential reference against
which other potentials can be measured. An electrical ground system should
have an appropriate current-carrying capability to serve as an adequate
zero-voltage reference level. In electronic circuit theory, a "ground" is
usually idealized as an infinite source or sink for charge, which can
absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential.
Where a real ground connection has a significant resistance, the
approximation of zero potential is no longer valid. Stray voltages or
earth potential rise effects will occur, which may create noise in signals
or if large enough will produce an electric shock hazard. The use of the
term ground (or earth) is so common in electrical and electronics
applications that circuits in portable electronic devices such as cell
phones and media players as well as circuits in vehicles may be spoken of
as having a "ground" connection without any actual connection to the
Earth, despite "common" being a more appropriate term for such a
connection. This is usually a large conductor attached to one side of the
power supply (such as the "ground plane" on a printed circuit board) which
serves as the common return path for current from many different
components in the circuit.

Electrobiology is the study of the production and
use of electricity by biological organisms.
Electrophysiology is the
study of the
electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. It involves
measurements of voltage change or electric current on a wide variety of
scales from single ion channel proteins to whole organs like the heart. In
neuroscience, it includes measurements of the electrical activity of
neurons, and particularly action potential activity. Recordings of
large-scale electric signals from the nervous system, such as
electroencephalography, may also be referred to as electrophysiological
recordings. They are useful for electrodiagnosis and monitoring.
Light Therapy - Color Psychology
Light Therapy or
phototherapy or heliotherapy, consists of
exposure to daylight or to
specific wavelengths of light using
polychromatic or two or more
colors of
polarised light, lasers, light-emitting diodes, fluorescent
lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright,
full-spectrum light. The
light
is
administered for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a
specific time of day. One common use of the term is associated with the
treatment of skin disorders, chiefly psoriasis, acne vulgaris, eczema and
neonatal jaundice. Light therapy which strikes the
retina of the eyes is
used to treat diabetic retinopathy and also
circadian rhythm disorders
such as delayed
sleep phase disorder and can also be used to treat
seasonal affective disorder, with some support for its use also with
non-seasonal psychiatric disorders.

Photobiology is
the scientific study of the interactions of light (technically,
non-ionizing radiation) and living organisms. The field includes the study
of
photophysics,
photochemistry,
photosynthesis,
photomorphogenesis,
visual processing,
circadian rhythms,
photomovement,
bioluminescence,
and
ultraviolet radiation effects.
The division between
ionizing
radiation and nonionizing radiation is typically considered to be 10 eV,
the energy required to ionize an
oxygen atom.
Color Vision is the ability of an organism
or machine to distinguish objects based on the
wavelengths or
frequencies of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit.
Colors can be
measured and quantified in various ways; indeed, a person's
perception of
colors is a subjective process whereby the brain responds to the stimuli
that are produced when incoming light reacts with the several types of
cone cells in the eye. In essence, different people see the same
illuminated object or light source in different ways.
Color Psychology is the study of hues as a
determinant of human behavior.
Color influences
perceptions that are not
obvious, such as the taste of food. Colours can also enhance the
effectiveness of
placebos. For example, red or orange pills are generally
used as stimulants. Colour can indeed influence a person; however, it is
important to remember that these effects differ between people. Factors
such as gender, age, and culture can influence how an individual perceives
color. For example, males reported that red colored outfits made women
seem more attractive, while women answered that the color of a male's
outfit did not affect his attractiveness.

Chromotherapy,
sometimes called
color therapy, colorology or cromatherapy, is an
alternative medicine method, which is considered pseudoscience.
Chromotherapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to
balance "energy" lacking from a person's body, whether it be on physical,
emotional, spiritual, or mental levels. Research has shown it is
ineffective.
Color therapy is distinct from other
types of light therapy, such as
neonatal jaundice treatment and blood
irradiation therapy which is a scientifically accepted medical treatment
for a number of conditions, and from photobiology, the scientific study of
the effects of light on living organisms.
Spectral Sensitivity is the relative efficiency of
detection, of light or other signal, as a function of the frequency or
wavelength of the signal. In visual neuroscience, spectral sensitivity is
used to describe the different characteristics of the photopigments in the
rod cells and cone cells in the retina of the eye. It is known that the
rod cells are more suited to scotopic vision and cone cells to photopic
vision, and that they differ in their sensitivity to different wavelengths
of light. It has been established that the maximum spectral sensitivity of
the human eye under daylight conditions is at a wavelength of 555 nm,
while at night the peak shifts to 507 nm.

sensitive, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to solar
retinopathy, pterygium, cataracts, and even blindness. Studies have shown
that even when viewing a solar eclipse the eye can still be exposed to
harmful levels of
ultraviolet radiation.
Imagery - Visualization
Guided Imagery is a mind-body intervention by which a
trained practitioner or teacher helps a participant or patient to evoke and
generate mental images that simulate or re-create the sensory
perception
of
sights, sounds, tastes,
smells, movements, and images associated with
touch, such as texture, temperature, and pressure, as well as imaginative
or mental content that the participant or patient experiences as defying
conventional sensory categories, and that may precipitate strong emotions
or feelings in the absence of the stimuli to which correlating
sensory
receptors are receptive. The practitioner or teacher may facilitate this
process in person to an individual or a group. Alternatively, the
participant or patient may follow guidance provided by a sound recording,
video, or audiovisual media comprising spoken instruction that may be
accompanied by
music or sound.

Creative Visualization is the
cognitive process of purposefully generating
visual mental imagery, with eyes open
or closed, simulating or recreating visual perception, in order to
maintain, inspect, and transform those images, consequently modifying
their associated emotions or feelings, with intent to experience a
subsequent beneficial physiological, psychological, or social effect, such
as expediting the healing of wounds to the body, minimizing physical pain,
alleviating psychological pain including anxiety, sadness, and low mood,
improving self-esteem or
self-confidence, and enhancing the capacity to
cope when interacting with others.
Eidetic
Imagery is a type of vivid mental image, not necessarily derived from
an actual external event or
memory. A material
picture in the mind which can be scanned by the person as he would scan a
real current event in his environment, a normal subjective visual image
experienced with noticeable
vividness whether evoked by an actual external object or not. The
eidetic image is not dependent on any prior experience, condition, state,
or event. The eidetic image is “seen” within the mind or literally seen
externally. In seeing an eidetic image, definite somatic events as well as
a feeling of meaning are also present. A exceptionally vivid memory image
that occurs immediately after the
perception.
Visual System
(seeing) -
Pineal Gland (third eye)
Brain connections mean some people lack visual imagery. New research
has revealed that people with the ability to visualize vividly have a
stronger connection between their visual network and the regions of the
brain linked to decision-making. The study also sheds light on memory and
personality differences between those with strong visual imagery and those
who cannot hold a picture in their mind's eye. The scans revealed that
people with hyperphantasia have a stronger connection between the visual
network which processes what we see, and which becomes active during
visual imagery, and the prefrontal cortices, involved in decision-making
and attention. These stronger connections were apparent in scans performed
during rest, while participants were relaxing -- and possibly
mind-wandering.
Hyperphantasia is the condition of having extremely vivid mental
imagery. It is the opposite condition to aphantasia, where mental visual
imagery is not present.

Auditory Imagery is a form of mental imagery that is used to organize
and analyze
sounds when there is no external auditory stimulus present.
This form of imagery is broken up into a couple of auditory modalities
such as verbal imagery or musical imagery. This modality of mental imagery
differs from other sensory images such as motor imagery or visual imagery.
The vividness and detail of auditory imagery can vary from
person-to-person depending on their background and condition of their
brain. Through all of the research developed to understand auditory
imagery behavioral neuroscientists have found that the auditory images
developed in subjects' minds are generated in real time and consist of
fairly precise information about quantifiable auditory properties as well
as melodic and
harmonic relationships. These studies have been able to
recently gain confirmation and recognition due to the arrival of Positron
emission tomography and fMRI scans that can confirm a physiological and
psychological correlation.
Smell - Aroma Therapy
Aromatherapy uses plant materials and
aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, and other aroma compounds
for improving psychological or physical well-being. It can be offered as a
complementary therapy or, more controversially, as a form of alternative
medicine. Complementary therapy can be offered alongside standard
treatment, with alternative medicine offered instead of conventional,
evidence-based treatments. Aromatherapists, who specialize in the practice
of aromatherapy, utilize blends of therapeutic essential oils that can be
issued through topical application, massage, inhalation or water immersion
to
stimulate a desired response. There is no good medical evidence that
aromatherapy can either prevent or cure any disease, but it might help
improve general well-being.

Essential Oil is a concentrated hydrophobic
liquid containing volatile
aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are
also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply as the
oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An
oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "
essence of" the
plant's
fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it
is derived. The term essential used here does not mean indispensable as
with the terms essential amino acid or essential fatty acid which are so
called since they are nutritionally required by a given living organism.
Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using
steam. Other processes include expression, solvent extraction, absolute
oil extraction, resin tapping, and cold pressing. They are used in
perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for
flavoring food and
drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products.
Perfume is a
mixture of fragrant
essential oils or aroma compounds, fixatives and
solvents, used to give the human body, animals, food, objects, and
living-spaces an agreeable or pleasant scent. It is usually in liquid form and used to
give a pleasant scent to a person's body. Ancient texts and archaeological
excavations show the use of perfumes in some of the earliest human
civilizations. Modern perfumery began in the late 19th century with the
commercial synthesis of aroma compounds such as vanillin or coumarin,
which allowed for the composition of perfumes with smells previously
unattainable solely from natural aromatics alone.

Suggestibility is the quality of being inclined to accept and
act on the suggestions of others.
One may fill in gaps in certain memories with false information given by
another when recalling a scenario or moment. Suggestibility uses cues to
distort recollection: when the subject has been persistently told
something about a past event, his or her memory of the event conforms to
the repeated message. A person experiencing intense emotions tends to be
more receptive to ideas and therefore more suggestible. Generally,
suggestibility decreases as age increases. However, psychologists have
found that individual levels of self-esteem and assertiveness can make
some people more suggestible than others; this finding led to the concept
of a spectrum of suggestibility.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a connection between
neurological processes (neuro-),
language (linguistic) and behavioral
patterns learned through experience (
programming), and that these can be
changed to achieve specific goals in life.
NLP Hypnosis -
Natural Language Processing
Methods of Neuro-Linguistic Programming are the specific techniques
used to perform and teach neuro-linguistic programming, a pseudoscience
which teaches that people are only able to directly perceive a small part
of the world using their conscious awareness, and that this view of the
world is filtered by experience, beliefs, values, assumptions, and
biological sensory systems. NLP argues that people act and feel based on
their perception of the world and how they feel about that world they
subjectively experience. NLP teaches that language and behaviors (whether
functional or dysfunctional) are highly structured, and that this
structure can be 'modeled' or copied into a reproducible form. Using NLP a
person can 'model' the more successful parts of their own behavior in
order to reproduce it in areas where they are less successful or 'model'
another person to affect belief and behavior changes to improve
functioning. If someone excels in some activity, it can be learned how
specifically they do it by observing certain important details of their
behavior. NLP embodies several techniques, including hypnotic techniques,
which proponents claim can affect changes in the way people think, learn
and communicate. NLP is an eclectic field, often described as a 'toolbox'
which has borrowed heavily from other fields in collating its
presuppositions and techniques.
Neuro-Semantics is an attitude of
apply to self. This focus leads to more congruency, more willingness to
look at oneself, to use the processes with oneself, and to consciously aim
to continually grow and improve. In turn, this leads to being more open
and to honestly acknowledge the facets of NLP that we have found which do
not work or are over-emphasized to the exclusion of something else. None
of this is to say that one is right or better, but rather to point out
differences, especially in terms of focus and direction.
Neuro-Semantics Includes: Focus on
References & Referencing. Non-Linear Thinking: Reflexivity. Systemic in
its structure. Focus on Persons and Relationship and doing things to
people and co-creating with others. Trained from Options meta-program.
Applying the magic to self first. Emphasis on Connection, Authenticity.
Ethical behavior and Win/Win Relationships. 1st Meta-Model 4 Meta-Domains:
1st MM 2nd MP 3rd Meta-States. 4th Meta-Modalities or the Cinematic
features of the so-called “Sub-modalities”. Meta-Levels: Logical levels as
Psycho-Logics, meta-levels, Multi-ordinality, Matrix. Logical levels as
dynamic, fluid, layering. Mind as holistic and systemic. The Restoration
of several “
Why”
Questions: Why of Intentionality, Why of Outcome. Meta means “
emotion”
sometimes more, sometimes less. Emotions seen as to be experienced,
“bringing the kinesthetics back into NLP.” Sub-Modalities seen as
meta-frames.
Gestalting, moving up levels to create new Generalizations. Focus on
Individual and on Community and on numerous social and cultural contexts.
Generative or Transformative Change: moving up to the next level of
development. The power and
balance of the conscious mind. The focus in NLP, and this is the
genius of NLP, is on representation. Recognizing that we think in terms of
our sensory systems and uses what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste to
re-present to ourselves within our minds gives us control knobs for
“running our own brain.” We have a Movie Mind and this empowers us to take
charge of what plays out in the theater of our mind. Oftentimes the
simplest shifts or alternations in the cinematic features
(“sub-modalities”) that we use to encode our understandings is sufficient
to create powerfully
positive transformations.
The focus in Neuro-Semantics moves on from representation to references
and referencing. First we bring in the world by taking a referent event
and representing it. From there we transform the same event into frames of
reference, and then frames of mind. This moves us up the levels as we
classify or categories our learnings from the events. In this way we
create layers of embedded frames that make up the
Matrix of our Mind. And those
layers emerge organically as the mind-body-emotion system grows. In moving
up the levels, we do this primarily in language, hence the true place for
the linguistic of NLP and the
symbolic levels
of Neuro-Semantics. NLP mostly and primarily involves
linear thinking. We
see this most prominently in the domain of eliciting and modeling of
strategies. While there is a place for a meta response in the strategy
model using T.O.T.E. format, it is a minor piece and de-emphasized in
actual practice. NLP mostly talks about sending or swishing the brain
somewhere, moving from present state to desired state, identifying desired
outcomes and formatting them to be well-formed and then just future pacing
the experience. All of that is linear in nature and structure.
Neuro-Semantics focuses on and involves non-linear thinking precisely
because it is driven by
reflexivity. In
Meta-States training we always begin with a
warning that the kind of thinking required to understand meta-states is
very different from the kind of thinking that governs NLP. At first,
learning to think in non-linear ways can feel very disconcerting.
Non-linear thinking means reckoning with
going round and
round in loops, spiraling up and down the levels of the mind,
recognizing the numerous feedback and feed forward loops in a system, and
recognizing that multiple processing will be occurring at any given
moment.
Each and every day when you wake up to face the world, you
wake up in a state—in a
mind-body state.
This state is a state of mind, a state of body, and a state of emotion.
This is the most basic essence of our reality.
Analog Marking is a technique where one gives special
identical emphasis to the words of an embedded command within a sentence,
in order for the the unconscious mind of the receiver to interpret them as
being related to each other. The emphasis can be a certain
tone of voice,
for instance.
Erotic Hypnosis is the practice of hypnosis for
sexual purposes. Reducing
inhibitions and increasing arousal is a notable goal of erotic hypnosis.
The placement of trigger words in the subject's mind as post-hypnotic
suggestion to produce actions and experiences on-demand is a common
practice. Erotic hypnosis can also include suggestions intended to improve
sexual health. This does not include hypnotherapy nor the therapeutic
application of neurolinguistic programming and similar disciplines.
Although often loosely referred to as "recreational hypnosis",
recreational hypnosis is a broader subject, including practices like stage
hypnosis and hypnosis for the enjoyment of the practice itself.
Self-Hypnosis is one of
many methods used for learning. When self-hypnosis is
used together with other
learning methods
it can be a very useful tool for communicating to our
subconscious mind, so that we are more aware of our
subconscious minds influence on our daily lives, but you still need a good
amount of knowledge and information in order to fully understand your
abilities as well as understand your vulnerabilities. (passive auditory stimulation).

thought to thought until deep
mediation becomes concentrated
and
focused on a
spiritual reality where
time and space does not exist. A reality
that is
calm and at peace. This is the moment and the point where your
mind becomes in tune with all the
energy that surrounds
you, and you begin to see and feel with your mind, and these things
that you feel and perceive, are beyond explanation.

Clear the mind of all thoughts. Use no
words and
pretend that words don't
exist and that
words can no longer be thought of, there are
no thoughts,
only an
experience of an internal existence, an existence that is
perceived as
neither here nor there or anywhere.

Zen emphasizes rigorous
self-control,
meditation-practice, insight into
Buddha-nature, and the personal
expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of
others. As such, it de-emphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine
and favors direct understanding through zazen and interaction with an
accomplished teacher.

intense absorption, during which
no trace of ego-identity is felt and only
the underlying cosmic current of the Dao is perceived as real. Sitting in
oblivion and forgetting all things. to lose bodily awareness and remove
all thoughts from consciousness. Just take the position of nonaction and
all things unfold naturally. Let your body and limbs fall away, expel
perception and intellect, leave relations and things behind in oblivion.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Training.
Meditation is a way to
connect to the
universe
and
explore the
abilities of the human
mind. Don't just
clear the mind, open the mind and make peace with the mind.
Don't just turn off the mind, turn on the mind and let the mind go. Don't look
for something or expect something, just
listen. Listen to the universe
without using words or thoughts. Don't try to focus or try
to stay in control, just
be one with everything, and
let things pass
through you and just travel through space is if there were no boundaries.
Start with body awareness. Are you
relaxed and calm? Are you comfortable
and aligned? Are you
in a
quiet place? Are you
ready? Now start your
breathing exercises. Focusing
on deliberate breaths will start
the process of meditation. Meditation is practicing
focus, focusing on
keeping your mind open, and not thinking about anything in particular, you
are focusing on
listening, and you are
filtering out the
noises of the physical world
because you're not listening with your ears, you are listening with the
mind, and you are not seeing with the eyes you are
seeing with the mind.
You have a purpose, and one purpose of meditation is to listen. And you
can't listen when you're thinking about everyday things.
Distractions are
like noises, you need to
filter out noises, even the noises produced in
your mind. You are an observer who is just witnessing. No analyzing or
interactions, just
watching to see what happens. Unlike a
lucid dream where you might
want to interact with the dream and have some control in the dream, when
meditating, you're just an observer. You must let go and not be distracted by
your physical senses. And you must not use human
language when listening
or
communicating with the universe, because the universe, or the inner and
outer worlds, has a language all its own.
Listen and
explore. But don't
try to understand the journey when you're in the process of meditating,
wait till after you're done meditating, and then try to explain your journey
and then
learn what you can from your
experience.
Disclaimer about Meditation
It takes more than just meditation. It
takes more than just being aware and awake. It takes more than
spirituality. It takes more than praying. It takes more than worshiping.
It takes more than just screaming at the world and releasing your
frustration. To experience true
consciousness it takes a lot of knowledge and it takes a lot of
learning about yourself and the world around you. There is no one
solution, it's many solutions working together, solutions that need to
adapt as we learn more.
Meditation alone will not solve your problems.
Meditation is important, but not as important as
sleeping well,
eating healthy,
exercising regularly,
taking breaks when needed,
taking time each day to
think, and taking time to
educate yourself each
day. So you need to
consume a lot of knowledge and learn a lot of
different skills, because there is nothing that replaces learning, which
means that you still need to educate yourself everyday or as much as
possible, especially consuming knowledge and information that helps you to
better understand yourself and also helps you to better understand the
world around you. This will benefit you in a lot of different ways, a lot
more than just learning how to meditate. Knowing how to mediate is
important, but just as long as you learn why mediation is important, and
how mediation works and why meditation works. The most
important activity is
continually increasing
your knowledge and understanding of yourself and the world around you,
because this will
always be the most important part of a strong mind and body. The ability to
meditate and
exercise are great tools to have when
mastered. But having many tools
is one thing, knowing how to use your tools
effectively and efficiently is
another. And it's not a good idea to always depend on the same tools working the same way that you think they will.
Awareness is
essential in order to be aware of the
changes that life brings.
Conspirituality -
Religious CharlatansThere are
best practices,
standards and
ethics in most everything that we do. There are
guidelines,
but not necessarily boundaries. But if you do explore
beyond known
boundaries, you may be increasing the risks that might negate certain
benefits. But taking
risks are not always bad, as long as you
learn from
those
experiences and
share what you have learned. Not everyone will
follow you and not everyone should.
Everyone has their own destiny, and
there's also a
reason for everything.
Meditation vs Sleep. Meditating cannot
replace your body’s need for sleep.
Sleep helps the brain clean out many toxic by-products, and so far,
meditation does not do this. The primary difference between sleep and
meditation is that in meditation, we remain alert, awake, and aware,
while in sleep, we lack alertness,
and instead fall into dullness and non-awareness. Over time, a regular
meditation practice can enhance the quality of our sleep. If you sleep
better, you may meditate better, and if you meditate better, you may sleep
better. Meditation has shown to have a significant impact on the
regulation of
cortisol,
which is a stress hormone, and melatonin levels by way of reducing
cortisol secretion and increasing levels of melatonin.
Lucid dreams could be
thought of as a type of sleeping meditation. Meditation and lucid dreaming
are both about awareness and focus. If you can harness your dreams through
meditation, you may experience interesting insights and benefits. The
point of meditation to rest and relax the mind, but sleep and meditation
don't affect the mind in the same way, even though the
brain
waves active during meditation may be similar to those in early stages
of sleep.
When people mention the
spiritual benefits
of meditation, this will vary from
person to person. The bottom line is, the mind benefits from exercise. But
how much you benefit depends on how much you
learn and how much you
practice. Any benefit is better then no benefit at all.
Awareness comes from
knowledge and
experience. So never get discouraged. Keep learning, keep practicing, keep living.
Live, Learn, Love and Progress.

2 Minute Meditation - Mini-Meditation
Close your eyes and
focus
all of your attention on your
breathing. You're
not thinking of anything
else,
you're
just focusing on your breathing, being only aware of slowly breathing in
using your nose and
stomach,
and then, slowly breathing out using your mouth. Follow your breath from
the moment the air touches your nostrils as you inhale, feeling it fill up
your chest and belly, and as it leaves your body as you exhale, noticing
if the air feels warmer or colder. Repeat this for five deep breaths. Now
relax every muscle in your face until there is no tension or
tightness anywhere in your face. Return to focusing on your breath. Make sure that your face and body feels totally relaxed. Keep focusing on
your breath.
Think of nothing else except for slowly breathing in and
slowly breathing
out. Now open your eyes and look around and notice where you are.
Now close your eyes and
notice the sounds around you. Allow
yourself to be there with the sounds.
End the session with one deep
breath to settle yourself.

Deep Meditation Still
Meditation: A traditional form of
meditation using
deep
breathing; sitting still in a comfortable position with eyes closed; and
clearing the mind of thought and/or focusing on a key thought, phrase, or
word (mantra) to focus the energy.
Benefits: Reduces stress, relaxes
the mind and body, supports feelings of relief, calms "inner chatter," and
expands awareness.
Drawbacks: Requires time; a large amount of
patience (even for 15 minutes!); and a quiet space without distraction --
usually not even music. Best option: Early mornings; before bedtime;
during weekends, vacation, down time; or in times of great indecision or
challenges.
Moving Meditation:
The practice of getting centered by allowing thoughts to flow freely while
moving the body -- perhaps walking, running, exercising, doing housework,
etc.
Benefits: Reduces stress, gives a physical/mental/spiritual
outlet for energy to be released from the body, supports improved mood,
stimulates creative thinking and problem solving.
Drawbacks: Requires
time, outdoor locations or larger spaces (if indoors), and may require
equipment or supplies.
Best option: In the morning immediately after
rising, during the day (maybe during lunch), after work, weekends, or on
days when ideas need to process. Also works best to help start out the day
fresh or release stress at the end of the day to assist with relaxing at
night.
Creative Meditation:
Getting into the "
create zone" by immersing yourself into creative
flow--allowing new creative ideas to come to you by using techniques like
brainstorming, freewriting, and possibility thinking.
Benefits:
Generates
new ideas, allows for creative expression, taps creative
intuition, and welcomes coincidence and creative collaboration.
Drawbacks: Can be time-consuming, may hit creative roadblocks and
stalemates, and may sometimes require input from others to be most
effective. Doesn't work well if you're not in the creative mood. If using
creative meditation with a group, you may need to all be in sync (commonly
referred to as synergy) to be most effective. This may require larger
blocks of time or minimal disruptions to stay in the creative flow. Best
option: Best used when creating new ideas, solving a creative challenge,
inventing a new product or service, or strengthening collaboration with others.
Feng Fu (wind mansion). Hold a cube of ice for 20 minutes on the Feng Fu point.
At first you will begin to feel freezing, but after
thirty or forty seconds you will feel warmth. By doing
this every day you will begin to feel
euphoria. This is because the ice cube will cause for
endorphin to be released in your blood. It's
believed that there are also more benefits from using this technique.

learning to monitor and control the state of muscular tension. The
technique involves learning to monitor tension in each specific muscle
group in the body by deliberately inducing tension in each group. This
tension is then released, with attention paid to the contrast between

one is in relaxing and then to use those techniques to relax without the
help of external measuring devices.

"Doing nothing is doing something."
Sunday
is a day of rest in most Western countries, as a part of the weekend.
Sabbath is a day set
aside for rest and worship.
Leisure
is time spent away or a break from every day activities and
responsibilities.
Freedom to choose a pastime or enjoyable activity. Time available for ease
and relaxation.
Sabbatical
is a rest from work, or a break, often lasting from two months to a year.
Air Traffic Controllers are required after every hour and a half or
two hours of work to take a 15 to 30 minute break. And that means an
unplugged disconnected break where
they go for a walk or listen to music,
they exercise, something to restore all of the
burned up neurochemicals.
Neurochemical are chemicals in the brain that allow brain cells to
communicate with each other. A neurochemical is an organic molecule, such
as serotonin,
dopamine, or
nerve growth factor, that participates in neural activity. Strength
between brain cells helps the brain work more effectively and
communication more effectively with other areas of the brain.

Airplane Pilots
have the “8 hour” rule, or , 8
hours from bottle to throttle, although many airlines have a more
stringent 12 hour time limit. Most pilots do not know of the 0.04%
FAR, which prohibits flying an aircraft with a
blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of 0.04% or higher.
Workers have the right to one
uninterrupted 20 minute rest break during their working day, if
they work more than 6 hours a day. This could be a tea or lunch break. The
break doesn't have to be paid - it depends on their
employment contract.
Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when
employers do offer short breaks, they usually last about 5 to 20 minutes.
Truckers Drivers who drive big trucks or 18 wheelers,
have to take a 30-minute break after eight consecutive hours of driving.
Truckers also have to have 10 continuous hours off, if a trucker starts
driving at 6:00 a.m., they must not drive their truck after 8:00 p.m. that
evening, which is 14 hours.
So it is not just the
lack of sleep that can cause
problems with judgment, awareness and
reaction times, it's also anything
that makes your brain impaired.
We spend too much time
walking around unconscious and
unaware. We need to spend more time being aware of
ourselves, and the world around us. We need to exercise the
ability of having awareness so that can we keep our minds
strong, and, make ourselves more aware. And the best way to
increase your awareness is to acquire new knowledge and to learn
something new everyday. The human brain can store incredible
amounts of information and knowledge. But if you are not
learning and acquiring new knowledge, then you are weakening
your abilities and your awareness, and at the same time, you are
lowering your potential of accomplishing many different things
that every human being is capable of doing. When you exercise
and eat healthy, the body becomes stronger. When you learn and
acquire new knowledge, your mind becomes stronger. And your mind
will continue to become stronger and more effective as long as
you keep learning. Any dream or goal that you have is possible,
as long as you keep learning. When you stop learning, the
possibilities will diminish. Keep Learning.

something any more significant than it needs to be. I take things
seriously just enough to learn from them without being distracted by the

Silence - Peace and Quite
Silence is good for you, it helps the brain regenerate brain cells.
Two hours of silence per day prompted cell development in the
hippocampus region of the
brain. So take a few moments each day to be in total
silence, spend time in nature,
take a break. Silence relieves
stress and tension. It's good to get
away from the
sonic disruptions because
it gives our brains
Attention Center the opportunity to
restore. Seek
calming
pleasures that contribute to
peace of mind.
Peace and quiet has great value.
Quality Sleep.
Silence is
Golden means that sometimes not saying nothing is often better than
speaking too much or saying something inappropriate. Speech is silver, but
silence is golden, unless you have to be a
whistle blower.

Hippocampal Neurogenesis.
Attention Restoration Theory asserts that people can
concentrate better after spending
time in nature,
or even looking at scenes of nature. Natural environments abound with
"soft fascinations" which a person can reflect upon in "effortless
attention", such as clouds moving across the sky, leaves rustling in a
breeze or water bubbling over rocks in a stream.
Default Mode Network is a
network of interacting brain regions known to have activity highly
correlated with each other and distinct from other networks in the brain.
The default mode network is most commonly shown to be active when a person
is not Focused on the outside world and the brain is at wakeful rest, such
as during daydreaming and mind-wandering. But it is also active when the
individual is thinking about others,
thinking about themselves,
remembering the past, and planning for the future. The network activates
"by default" when a person is not involved in a task.
Mind Wandering
is the experience of thoughts not remaining on a single topic for a long
period of time, particularly when people are engaged in an
attention-demanding task. Mind-wandering tends to occur during driving,
reading and other activities where vigilance may be low. In these
situations, people do not remember what happened in the surrounding
environment because they are pre-occupied with their thoughts. This is
known as the decoupling hypothesis. Studies using
event-related potentials (ERPs) have quantified the extent that
mind-wandering reduces the cortical processing of the external
environment. When thoughts are unrelated to the task at hand, the brain
processes both task relevant and unrelated sensory information in a less
detailed manner.
Retreat is a place
with peace and quiet and an area that has privacy where you can be alone
and study. A time taken to reflect or meditate. A time away in a quiet and
secluded place where you can relax. Retreat is also an act of moving back
or withdrawing.
A place of refuge.
Silent Retreat
is an event or a place where you remain mostly silent, which is supposed
to give you an opportunity to reflect inwardly and process your thoughts
in a calm, constructive way. There is no talking during meditations as
well as during meals, yoga, journaling, reading, and other activities. You
basically turn off
all distractions so you can relax and just focus on yourself. A silent
retreat can last anywhere from a day to a long weekend. For some it's
about silencing the monkey brain or the
monkey
mind that is unsettled and
restless or uncontrollable and indecisive, or a
part of your mind that is triggered when you try to not speak. A retreat
can also be a meeting that is typically designed and organized
specifically to facilitate the ability of a group to step back from their
day-to-day demands and activities for an extended period of concentrated
discussion, dialogue, and strategic thinking about the organization's
future or about specific issues.
Self Soothing.
Spiritual Retreat in Hinduism and Buddhism, are
meditative retreats that are seen by some as an intimate way of deepening
powers of concentration and
insight. A retreat
can either be a time of solitude or a community experience. Some retreats
are held in silence, and on others there may be a great deal of
conversation, depending on the understanding and accepted practices of the
host facility and/or the participant(s). Retreats are often conducted at
rural or remote locations, either privately, or at a retreat centre such
as a monastery. Some retreats for advanced practitioners may be undertaken
in darkness, a form of retreat that is common as an advanced
Dzogchen
practice in the
Nyingma
school of Tibetan Buddhism. Spiritual retreats allow time for reflection,
prayer, or meditation. They are considered essential in Buddhism, having
been a common practice since the Vassa, or rainy season retreat, was
established by the founder of Buddhism, Gotama Buddha. In Zen Buddhism
retreats are known as sesshin.
Vipassana means to see things as they really are. It is often defined
as a practice that seeks insight into the true nature of reality. There
are two qualities of mind which is developed in bhāvanā, the training of
the mind, and the other being samatha (mind calming).

The quieter you become, the more you can hear, Silence is Golden.
Silence
is the lack of audible sound or
the presence of sounds of very low intensity.
By analogy, the word silence can also refer to any absence of
communication or hearing, including in media other than speech and
music. Silence is also used as total communication, in reference to
nonverbal
communication and spiritual connection. Silence also refers to no sounds
uttered by anybody in a room or area. Silence is an important factor in
many cultural spectacles, as in rituals.
Could sound exist without silence?
Quiet is when a moment in time is
free from noise
or has the absence of sound or uproar. An untroubled state that is
free
from disturbances or a disposition that is free from stress or emotion. To
be quiet is making very little sound or speaking in
a softened tone or low voice.
Peace and
Quite is tranquility and the
freedom from disturbance or noise. To live

Soothing is something that causes physical
relief or is the source of physical relief. Something that is
freeing from fear and anxiety. Calm.

Deafening is a noise so loud that it makes
it impossible to hear anything else. Deafening can also mean the opposite
of loud, it can also mean the absence of a response when someone says
nothing, especially when someone is signifying disapproval or a lack of
enthusiasm, like with the silent treatment. The silence of a pause can be
deafening. Personal interpretation.
Silent
Treatment is a refusal to communicate verbally with another person.

Sensory Deprivation - Isolation
Isolation Tank originally called a
sensory
deprivation tank (a.k.a. float tank, flotation tank or sensory attenuation
tank) is a lightless, soundproof tank with high epsom salt (magnesium
sulphate) content filled with salt water at skin temperature, in which
individuals float. They were first used in 1954 to test the effects of
sensory deprivation. Flotation is widely advertised on the internet as a
form of alternative medicine with claims that it has beneficial health
effect. Floatation Therapy.
Sensory Deprivation is the deliberate
reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple
devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and
hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell,
touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory
deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in
psychological experiments (e.g. with an isolation tank). Short-term
sessions of sensory deprivation are described as relaxing and conducive to
meditation; however, extended or forced sensory deprivation can result in
extreme anxiety, hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, and depression. A
related phenomenon is perceptual deprivation, also called the
ganzfeld
effect. In this case a constant uniform stimulus is used instead of
attempting to remove the stimuli; this leads to effects which have
similarities to sensory deprivation.

Sensory Adaptation is a change over time in the
responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It is usually
experienced as a change in the stimulus. For example, if one rests one's
hand on a table, one immediately feels the table's surface on one's skin.
Within a few seconds, however, one ceases to feel the table's surface. The
sensory neurons stimulated by the table's surface respond immediately, but
then respond less and less until they may not respond at all; this is an
example of neural adaptation. Neural adaptation is also thought to happen
at a more central level such as the
cortex.
Infrared Sauna uses infrared heaters to emit
infrared light experienced as radiant heat which is absorbed by the
surface of the skin. Traditional saunas heat the body primarily by
conduction and convection from the heated air and by radiation of the
heated surfaces in the sauna room. Although saunas have been advertised to
provide a wide range of health benefits, such as detoxification, there are
no scientific evidence backing these claims.

Yogi is a
practitioner of yoga. In Vedic Sanskrit, yoga (from
the root yuj) means "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach".
Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda
(January 5, 1893–March 7, 1952) first published in 1946. Yogananda was
born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, India, into a Bengali family.
Kriya
Yoga is described by its practitioners as the ancient Yoga system
revived in modern times by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri
Mahasaya, c. 1861. Kriya Yoga was brought to international awareness by
Paramahansa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi and through
Yogananda's introductions of the practice to the west from 1920. The Kriya
Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward,
around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar,
sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral
signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. One half-minute of
revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects
subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one
year of natural spiritual unfoldment. Offering inhaling breath into the
outgoing breath, and offering the outgoing breath into the inhaling
breath, the yogi neutralizes both these breaths; he thus releases the life
force from the heart and brings it under his control.
Bodhisattva is the Sanskrit term for anyone who,
motivated by great compassion, has
generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain
buddhahood for
the benefit of all sentient beings.
Bodhisattva vow can be done by venerating all
Buddhas and by cultivating supreme moral and spiritual perfection, to
be placed in the service of
others. In particular, bodhisattvas promise to practice the six
perfections of giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, concentration
and wisdom in order to fulfill their bodhicitta aim of attaining
buddhahood for the sake of all beings. bodhisattva vow extends into future
lives. There are innumerable sentient beings in the universe, I vow to
help them all to awaken. My Imperfections are inexhaustible, I vow to
overcome them all. The Dharma is unknowable, I vow to know it. The way of
awakening is unattainable, I vow to attain it. In the Buddhist tradition,
the Bodhisattva is the person with an awakened Buddha
nature. A Bodhisattva vows to help to awaken every being in the universe,
realizing that there is only one consciousness. To
awaken one’s true self one must awaken all beings.

Sanskrit root of the word "Swami" is "one who is one with his Self" ('Swa'
stands for self) The usage of this word is not just for a yogi but also
used for a religious guru, with or without disciples.

life attuned to spiritual things. The director listens and asks questions
to assist the directee in his or her process of reflection and spiritual
growth. Spiritual direction advocates claim that it develops a deeper
awareness with the spiritual aspect of being human, and that it is not

Rajneesh
was an Indian godman, mystic, and founder of the Rajneesh movement. During
his lifetime, he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement
leader and a mystic Guru. He rejected institutional religions. Rajneesh
emphasised the importance of freethought, meditation, mindfulness, love,
celebration, courage, creativity, and humour—qualities that he viewed as
being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious dogmas
and traditions, and socialization. In advocating a more open attitude to
human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and
became known as "the sex guru". Rajneesh is also known as Acharya Rajneesh,
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and later as Osho.
(born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19
January 1990). In the 1960s, Rajneesh travelled throughout India as
a public speaker and became known as a vocal critic of mainstream
political ideologies and of Mahatma Gandhi, as well as the orthodoxy of
mainstream religions. In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating
followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period, he expanded his
spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the
writings of religious traditions, mystics, bhakti poets, and philosophers
from around the world. In 1974, Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an
ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods
first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing
Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling
Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing
of the ashram's development and a back tax claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the
United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram
in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict
with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal
battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development
curtailed its success. In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes
by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with salmonella
bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles
H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela
and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from
the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain. After his
deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to
Mumbai, India in 1986, and after staying in the house of a disciple where
he resumed his discourses for 6 months he returned to Pune in January 1987
and revived his ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now
known as OSHO International Meditation Resort, and all associated
intellectual property, is managed by the registered Osho International
Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's
teachings have had an impact on Western New Age thought, and their
popularity reportedly increased between the time of his death and 2005.
When the Rajneesh movement founded Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon,
it showed us what happens to people when they are
corrupted by power,
and then choose the path of revenge
instead of having harmonious
negotiations.

Human Potential Movement arose out of the counterculture of the
1960s and formed around the concept of an
extraordinary potential that its advocates believed to lie largely
untapped in all people. The movement takes as its premise the belief that
through the development of their "human potential", people can experience
a life of happiness, creativity, and fulfillment, and that such people
will direct their actions within society toward assisting others to
release their potential. Adherents believe that the collective effect of
individuals cultivating their own potential will be positive change in
society at large.

Transformative Learning the process of "perspective transformation"
has three dimensions: psychological (changes in understanding of the
self), convictional (revision of belief systems), and behavioral (changes
in lifestyle). Transformative learning is the
expansion of consciousness
through the transformation of basic worldview and specific capacities of
the self; transformative learning is facilitated through consciously
directed processes such as appreciatively accessing and receiving the
symbolic contents of the unconscious and
critically analyzing underlying
premises. A defining condition of being human is that we have to
understand the meaning of our experience. For some, any uncritically
assimilated explanation by an authority figure will suffice. But in
contemporary societies we must learn to make our own interpretations
rather than act on the purposes, beliefs, judgments, and feelings of
others. Facilitating such understandings is the cardinal goal of adult
education. Transformative learning develops autonomous thinking.
Perspective transformation, leading to transformative learning, occurs
infrequently. An important part of transformative learning is for
individuals to change their frames of reference by critically reflecting
on their assumptions and beliefs and consciously making and implementing
plans that bring about new ways of defining their worlds. This process is
fundamentally rational and analytical.

Everything is in a constant state of transition.
Even if your thoughts stay the same, the physical self is transitioning
and the earth is transitioning. So you need to be able to

can either slow down the transition or speed it up, but you can't stop it.
You may change direction, but not the destination. You can zig-zag and go
backwards momentarily, but eventually
entropy will remind you

of other things that you can do in the mean time. So

Don't Trip Alone your First Time or Experiment by Yourself
When
experimenting with mind altering drugs you should try to have
professional or
experienced guides to assist you. Be under the
guidance of
two health professionals who will create a positive framework for your
journey. First have an interview or a few meetings to discuss to see if
you are prepared and screened to see that you qualify so that you have the
experience your hoping to have. It's important to have the right mindset,
intentions, and
to be in a good and safe environment that is comfortable. Your intentions
may be to kick a chronic addiction, heal from a traumatic experience, or
discover one’s purpose in life or come up with new ideas. During your
drug
experience and depending on your needs, the guides may help you
navigate
any negative feelings you might have and keep you calm if things get to
intense or over whelming. Guides may ask you to control your
breathing or to do some exercises, or some
meditation, or some
writing or even some singing or
listening to music. Guides may also reassure you that you will return to a
"normal" state of mind in time and Return
to your Baseline. So just relax and let the substance run
it's course. It's good to stay
hydrated so always have water available.
After your drug experience that day and for several days after, you will
have some follow up meetings where they will to talk about what you
thought about the experience and what things you may have learned. After a
psychedelic journey is over, there is often an incredible wealth of
information, emotions, ideas, and new perspectives to integrate.

Vajrayana includes practices that make use of mantras, dharanis,
mudras, mandalas and the visualization of deities and Buddhas. According
to Vajrayāna scriptures, the term Vajrayāna refers to one of three
vehicles or routes to
enlightenment, the other two being the Śrāvakayāna (also known as the
Hīnayāna) and Mahāyāna. Tantric Buddhism
can be traced back to groups of wandering yogis called Mahasiddhas (great
adepts). The mahasiddhas date to the medieval period in the Northern
Indian Subcontinent (3–13 cen. CE),
and used methods that were radically different than those used in Buddhist
monasteries including living in forests and caves and practiced meditation
in charnel grounds similar to those practiced by Shaiva Kapalika ascetics.
These yogic circles came together in tantric feasts (ganachakra) often in
sacred sites (pitha) and places (ksetra) which included dancing, singing,
sex rites and the ingestion of taboo substances like alcohol, urine, meat,
etc. It is interesting to note that at least two of the Mahasiddhas given
in the Buddhist literature are actually names for Shaiva Nath saints (Gorakshanath
and Matsyendranath) who practiced Hatha Yoga. Vajrayāna is usually
translated as Diamond Vehicle or Thunderbolt Vehicle, referring to the
Vajra, a mythical weapon which is also used as a ritual implement.

Third Eye, also called the
mind's eye, or inner eye,
is a mystical and esoteric concept referring to a speculative
invisible
eye which provides perception beyond
ordinary sight. The sixth chakra, the
Ajna chakra,
is in the area of the third eye, which is found in the space between the
eyebrows. It encompasses the pituitary gland, eyes, head, and lower part
of the brain. An invisible yet powerful third eye, this is your center of
intuition.
Gently touch your
third eye with one finger and then close your eyes. Now try to
visualize using just your mind. Now remove your
finger from your third eye. Now relax and just let
the mind wander. You can also have someone kiss the third eye, which may
work just as well.

Parietal Eye
also known as a third eye or pineal eye, is a part of the epithalamus
present in some animal species. The eye is
photoreceptive and is
associated with the pineal gland, regulating
circadian rhythmicity and
hormone production for thermoregulation,
like with energy from food.
Pineal Gland is a small
endocrine gland in the
vertebrate brain. Fully developed in 49 days after conception. The shape of the gland resembles a pine cone, hence its
name. The pineal gland is located in the
epithalamus, near the center of
the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two
halves of the thalamus join. The pineal gland produces
melatonin, a
serotonin derived hormone which modulates sleep patterns in both circadian
and seasonal cycles. DMT
is produced by the pineal gland, and so is
VMAT2. Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 is an integral membrane
protein that transports monoamines—particularly
neurotransmitters such as
dopamine,
norepinephrine,
serotonin, and histamine—from cellular cytosol into synaptic vesicles.
In nigrostriatal pathway and mesolimbic pathway dopamine-releasing
neurons, VMAT2 function is also necessary for the vesicular release of the
neurotransmitter GABA. "The God Gene".

philosophical framework, the nadis are said to connect at special points
of intensity called nadichakras. The Ida
and Pingala nadis are often seen as
referring to the two hemispheres of the brain. Pingala is the extroverted,
solar nadi, and corresponds to left hemisphere. Ida is the introverted,
lunar nadi, and refers to the right hemisphere of the brain. Ida nadi
controls all the mental processes while Pingala nadi controls all the
vital processes. Ida is associated with lunar energy. The word ida means
"comfort" in Sanskrit. Ida has a moonlike nature and feminine energy with
a cooling effect. It courses from the left testicle to the left nostril
and corresponds to the Ganges river. Pingala is associated with solar
energy. The word pingala means "orange" or "tawny" in Sanskrit. Pingala
has a sunlike nature and masculine energy. Its temperature is heating and
courses from the right testicle to the right nostril. It corresponds to
the river Yamuna.

5 Elements of
Ayurveda - Ether is the first one of
the great elements. This element is often referred to as “space” or
“emptiness”. Because ether is empty space, it is known as the element that
other fill. The ear and the mouth are associated with this element.
However, all empty spaces in our body are connected with the ether
element. Air represents
oxygen, breath,
motion, and lightness. This element is present in the respiratory system
and nerves. It is also the second of the five elements since air has a
close relationship with ether. Fire is the
third of the great elements. It’s related to ether because it provides it
with the space to burn. It’s also related to air because it provides the
fire’s fuel. Fire is closely associated with the eyes and the body’s heat.
Fire is also associated with thoughts, emotions, and obsessions.
Water is the fourth great element. It’s
associated with fire, ether, and air. Water is the protector of the body.
The tongue is associated with water element. Water is expressed in the
body in five distinct ways: saliva, stomach, the nerves, the joints, and
the respiratory system. It’s also associated with blood.
Earth is the last of all the
elements
because it evolves from the last four. It also contains these elements
within it. This element is heavily associated with our sense of smell,
bones, nails, and teeth.

Ventricular System is a set of four interconnected cavities
(ventricles or lumen) in the brain,
Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus where the
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is
produced. The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of
the spinal cord from the fourth ventricle, allowing for the flow of CSF to
circulate. All of the ventricular system and the central canal of the
spinal cord are lined
with ependyma, a specialised form of epithelium connected by tight
junctions that make up the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier.
Lateral Ventricles are the two largest cavities of the ventricular
system of the human brain and contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Each
cerebral hemisphere contains a lateral ventricle, known as the left or
right ventricle, respectively. Each lateral ventricle resembles a C-shaped
structure that begins at an inferior horn in the temporal lobe, travels
through a body in the parietal lobe and frontal lobe, and ultimately
terminates at the interventricular foramina where each lateral ventricle
connects to the single, central third ventricle. Along the path, a
posterior horn extends backward into the occipital lobe, and an anterior
horn extends farther into the frontal lobe.
Third Ventricle is one of four
connected fluid-filled cavities comprising the ventricular system within
the mammalian brain. It is a median cleft in the diencephalon between the
two thalami, and is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is in the
midline, between the left and right lateral ventricles. Running through
the third ventricle is the interthalamic adhesion, which contains thalamic
neurons and fibers that may connect the two thalami.
Fourth Ventricle is one of the four connected fluid-filled cavities
within the human brain. These cavities, known collectively as the
ventricular system, consist of the left and right lateral ventricles, the
third ventricle, and the fourth ventricle. The fourth ventricle extends
from the cerebral aqueduct (aqueduct of Sylvius) to the obex, and is
filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The fourth ventricle has a
characteristic diamond shape in cross-sections of the human brain. It is
located within the pons or in the upper part of the medulla oblongata. CSF
entering the fourth ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct can exit to
the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord through two lateral apertures
and a single, midline median aperture.

Tai Chi
or "Supreme Ultimate Boxing", is an
Internal Chinese Martial Art 武术 practiced for both its
defense training and its health benefits. Though originally conceived as a
martial art, it is also typically practiced for a variety of other
personal reasons: competitive wrestling in the format of pushing hands (tui
shou), demonstration competitions, and achieving greater longevity. As a
result, a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern,
which correspond to those aims with differing emphasis. Some training
forms of t'ai chi ch'uan are especially known for being practiced with
relatively slow movements.

Qigong is a holistic system of
coordinated body movement
and posture, breathing, and meditation used for
health, spirituality, and martial arts training. With roots in Chinese
medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as
a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi), translated as "life energy".
Qigong practice typically involves moving
meditation, coordinating
slow-flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and a calm meditative
state of mind. People practice qigong throughout China and worldwide for
recreation, exercise, relaxation, preventive medicine, self-healing,
alternative medicine, meditation, self-cultivation, and training for
martial arts. Because clinical research on qigong for its potential
benefit in treating various diseases – such as hypertension, pain, and
cancer – has been inconclusive due to poor quality, there remains no
evidence that qigong has any therapeutic effect, as of 2016.

Buddhism is the
world's fourth-largest religion with over
520 million followers, or over
7% of the global population, known as Buddhists. An Indian religion,
Buddhism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual
practices largely based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and
resulting interpreted philosophies. Buddhism originated in ancient India
as a Sramana tradition sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE,
spreading through much of Asia. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are
generally recognized by scholars: Theravada (Pali: "The School of the
Elders") and Mahayana (Sanskrit: "The Great Vehicle"). All Buddhist
traditions share the goal of overcoming suffering and the cycle of death
and rebirth, either by the attainment of Nirvana or through the path of
Buddhahood. Buddhist schools vary in their interpretation of the path to
liberation, the relative importance and canonicity assigned to the various
Buddhist texts, and their specific teachings and practices. Widely
observed practices include taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the
Sangha, observance of moral precepts, monasticism, meditation, and the
cultivation of the Paramitas (virtues).
Schools of
Buddhism are the various institutional and doctrinal divisions of
Buddhism that have existed from ancient times up to the present.

Buddhist Meditation refers to the meditative practices associated with
the religion and philosophy of
Buddhism. Buddhist meditation encompasses a variety of meditation
techniques that aim to develop mindfulness, concentration, supramundane
powers, tranquility, and insight. Specific Buddhist meditation techniques
have also been used to remove unwholesome
qualities thought to be impediments to spiritual liberation, such
loving kindness to remove ill-will, hate, and
anger, equanimity to remove mental clinging, and reflection on
31-parts-of-the-body and corpses to remove sensual lust for the body and
cultivate annica or impermanence.

Buddhist
Philosophy refers to the philosophical
investigations and systems of inquiry that developed among various
Buddhist schools in India following the parinirvana (i.e. death) of the
Buddha and later spread throughout Asia. The Buddhist path combines both
philosophical reasoning and meditation. The Buddhist traditions present a
multitude of Buddhist paths to liberation, and Buddhist thinkers in India
and subsequently in East Asia have covered topics as varied as
phenomenology, ethics, ontology, epistemology, logic and philosophy of
time in their analysis of these paths.
Zen is a school of
Mahayana
Buddhism that originated in China during the
Tang
dynasty, known as the Chan School (Chánzong 禪宗), and later developed
into various sub-schools and branches. From China, Chán spread south to
Vietnam and became Vietnamese Thiền, northeast to Korea to become Seon
Buddhism, and east to Japan, becoming Japanese Zen.
Tantra denotes the
esoteric traditions of Hinduism
and Buddhism that co-developed most likely about the middle of the 1st
millennium AD. The term tantra, in the Indian traditions, also means any
systematic broadly applicable "text, theory, system, method, instrument,
technique or practice". Tantra literally means "loom, warp, weave".
Six Yogas of Naropa
are a set of advanced Tibetan Buddhist tantric practices and a meditation
sādhanā compiled in and around the time of the Indian monk and mystic
Nāropa (1016-1100 CE) and conveyed to his student Marpa Lotsawa. The six
yogas were intended in part to help in the attainment of Buddhahood in an
accelerated manner.

Meditation means benevolence,
loving-kindness, friendliness,
amity, good will, and active interest in others. It is the first of the

Bodhi
in Buddhism is the understanding possessed by a Buddha regarding the true
nature of things. It is traditionally translated into English with the
word enlightenment, although its literal meaning is closer to "awakening."
The verbal root "budh" means to awaken.
Dhyana Buddhism commonly translated as meditation,
is a state of no mind, which lead to "state of perfect equanimity and
awareness.
Techniques of Knowledge is a formulation of four specific techniques
that were imparted in a process of initiation. "Light" involves careful
pressure on the eyes, seeking to open the "third eye" after a long period
of training and practice. This is comparable to similar Tantric practices.
"Sound" involves positioning the hands over the ears and temples, with the
goal of hearing the "heavenly music". This is reported to be related to
sabda-brahman meditation. "Name", or "Word", is a meditation concentrating
on breath. Kranenborg additionally states that it employs mantras while
exhaling. "Nectar" involves tongue positioning, eventually leading the
student to taste the "nectar of life". Michael Drury, describes these
techniques as helping the practitioner to develop "a deep and
spiritual self-knowledge."
Yoga
Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or

Pranayama is the practice of breath control in
yoga. In modern yoga as exercise, it consists of synchronising the breath
with movements between asanas, but is also a distinct breathing exercise

Flexibility refers to the absolute
range
of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in
muscles that
cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. Flexibility
varies between individuals, particularly in terms of differences in muscle
length of multi-joint muscles. Flexibility in some
joints can be increased
to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise
component to maintain or improve flexibility. Quality of life is enhanced
by improving and maintaining a good range of motion in the joints. Overall
flexibility should be developed with specific joint range of motion needs
in mind as the individual joints vary from one to another. Loss of
flexibility can be a predisposing factor for physical issues such as pain
syndromes or balance disorders. Gender, age, and genetics are important
for range of motion. Exercise including stretching and yoga often improves
flexibility. Many factors are taken into account when establishing
personal flexibility: joint structure, ligaments, tendons, muscles, skin,
tissue injury, fat (or adipose) tissue, body temperature, activity level,
age and gender all influence an individual's range of motion about a
joint. Individual body flexibility level is measured and calculated by
performing a sit and reach test, where the result is defined as personal
flexibility score.
A lack of
flexibility is often
related to lack of
strength.
Stretching is a form of physical exercise
in which a specific
muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed
or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt
elasticity and achieve comfortable
muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control,
flexibility, and range of motion. Stretching
is also used therapeutically to alleviate
cramps and to improve function in daily activities by increasing range
of motion.
Static Stretching is
stretching a muscle to near its furthest point and then holding that
position for at least 15 or 20 seconds. The emphasis is often to focus on
a single muscle group with each stretch
Dynamic Stretching involves making active movements that stretch
the muscles to their full range of motion. Some examples include trunk
twists, walking lunges, or leg swings against a wall.

Active Stretching eliminates force and its adverse effects from
stretching procedures or it can also be defined as a stretch that requires
you to retain a posture
without any help other than the strength of your agonist's
muscles is known as an active stretch.
Active stretching stimulates and prepares muscles for use during
exercise. Active stretches not only stretch
the muscles and tissues, but prepares the muscles for the action by
activating and warming them up or a
stretch that requires you to retain a
posture without any
help other than the
strength of your agonist's muscles is known as an active stretch.
The stretching of a muscle
fiber begins with the sarcomere,
the basic unit of contraction in the muscle fiber. As the sarcomere
contracts, the area of overlap between the thick and thin myofilaments
increases. As it stretches, this area of overlap decreases, allowing the
muscle fiber to elongate.

Contortion is a performance art in which performers, contortionists,
showcase their skills of extreme physical
flexibility. Contortion acts often accompany
acrobatics,
circus acts,
street performers and other
live performing arts. Contortion acts are typically performed in front
of a live audience. An act will showcase one or more artists performing a
choreographed set of moves or poses, often to
music, which require extreme
flexibility. The physical flexibility required to perform such acts
greatly exceeds that of the general population. It is the dramatic feats
of seemingly inhuman flexibility that captivate audiences. In some
countries, such as Russia and Mongolia, contortion holds special cultural
significance.

Articulation Joint is the connection made between
bones in the
body which link the skeletal system into a
functional whole. They are constructed to allow for different degrees and
types of movement. Some joints, such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder, are
self-lubricating, almost frictionless, and are able to withstand
compression and maintain heavy loads while still executing smooth and
precise movements. Other joints such as sutures between the bones of the
skull permit very little movement (only during birth) in order to protect
the brain and the sense organs. The connection between a tooth and the
jawbone is also called a joint, and is described as a fibrous joint known
as a gomphosis. Joints are classified both structurally and functionally.
Cracking Joints means bending a person's
joints to produce a distinct cracking or popping sound, often followed by
a feeling of satisfaction or relaxation to the person. It is sometimes
done as part of a joint adjustment routine performed by a chiropractor.
According to a folk belief, the popping of joints, especially knuckles,
leads to arthritis or other joint problems. However, medical research has
so far failed to demonstrate any connection between knuckle cracking and
long-term joint problems. While the cracking mechanism and the resulting
sound is not yet fully understood, it is mainly attributed to nitrogen or
carbon dioxide bubbles building up between the joints.
Hypermobility in joints is a condition that features
joints that easily
move beyond the normal range expected for that particular joint.
Hypermobile joints tend to be inherited. Symptoms of the joint
hypermobility syndrome include pain in the knees, fingers, hips, and
elbows.

Adding yoga to regular exercise improves cardiovascular health and
wellbeing. A three-month pilot study of patients with hypertension
demonstrates that adding yoga to a regular exercise training regimen
supports cardiovascular health and wellbeing and is more effective than
stretching exercises. Incorporation of
yoga reduced systolic blood
pressure and resting heart rate and improved 10-year
cardiovascular risk.
Over the 3-month intervention regimen, participants were divided into 2
groups, which performed 15 minutes of either structured yoga or stretching
in addition to 30 minutes of aerobic
exercise training 5 times weekly. Blood pressure, anthropometry,
high-sensitivity
C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), glucose and lipids levels as well as the
Framingham and Reynolds Risk Scores were measured. At baseline, there was
no difference between groups in age, sex, smoking rates, body mass index
(BMI), resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate
and pulse pressure. After 3 months, there was a decrease in resting
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and
heart rate in both groups. However, systolic blood pressure was reduced by
10 mmHg with yoga vs 4 mmHg with stretching. The yoga approach also
reduced resting heart rate and 10-year cardiovascular risk assessed using
Reynold's Risk score.

Chair Yoga is a
gentle form of yoga that is practiced
sitting on a chair, or standing
using a chair for support. It is in the process of being recognized
formally as a type of yoga distinct from other types, such as Iyengar Yoga
or
Ashtanga yoga. Often the poses, or Asanas, are often adaptations of
Hatha Yoga
Poses. Frequently the chair yoga student is unable to
participate in a traditional yoga class due to the effects of aging or
disabilities. However, Chair yoga is a great practice for everyone, as it
deepens flexibility and strengthens personal body awareness. Chair yoga
classes are sometimes made available at senior fitness centers, retirement
facilities, and adult daycare centers. Chair yoga is usually taught as a
way to achieve physical and mental fitness, not as a way of life, seeing
most other yoga classes in the Western world.

Pilates the art of controlled movements, which should look and feel
like a workout (not a therapy) when properly manifested. If practiced with
consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops
control and endurance in the entire body. It puts emphasis on alignment,
breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and
balance. The core, consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and
hips, is often called the "powerhouse" and is thought to be the key to a
person's stability. Pilates' system allows for different exercises to be
modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced or to any other
level, and also in terms of the instructor and practitioner's specific
goals and/or limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body
conditions and adapts to the exercises.
