A Little Bit of Science
Meditational states are proven to alter brain waves. These different brain wavefrequencies initiate a change in brain chemistry, oxygen and carbon dioxide balanceetc, and therefore alters ones perceptual experience. Some states have been identified
to produce a very calm and creative experience, while other produce deep sleep andso on.
Ideally, for one to experience this calm, open, receptive, relaxed and intuitive stateon a regular basis one trains oneself to oscillate in and out of different statesthroughout the day. This practice provides the most benefit to overall healthincluding body repair, wellbeing, creativity and spiritual development.
