{"title":"The Effects of Meditation on Twin Hearts on P300 Values: A Repeated Measures Comparison of Nonmeditators and the Experienced.","authors":"Jeffrey M Tarrant,&nbsp;Neus Raines,&nbsp;Wayne R Blinne","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The Meditation on Twin Hearts (MTH) is a core meditation in both Pranic Healing and modern Arhatic Yoga practices. This guided meditation includes components of lovingkindness, open awareness, and self-healing imagery. The changes in peak latency and peak amplitude of P300 auditory event-related potentials were studied before and after listening to the MTH. Subjects were 12 nonmeditators compared with 12 meditators with at least 1000 h of experience with MTH. Between- and within-group comparisons were examined from electrode sites FZ, CZ, and PZ. When compared with nonmeditators at baseline, experienced meditators demonstrated a significantly shorter latency at sites FZ and CZ. Immediately following the MTH, inexperienced meditators showed significant increases in amplitude at sites FZ, CZ, and PZ, whereas experienced meditators showed no significant changes. All variables for both groups showed changes in the direction of more efficient cognitive processing immediately following the MTH. The present study supports the idea that a lovingkindness/compassion meditation results in immediate cognitive improvements in meditation naïve subjects. It also suggests that long-term meditation results in more pronounced and stable improvements.</p>","PeriodicalId":13593,"journal":{"name":"Integrative medicine","volume":"18 2","pages":"36-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6601447/pdf/imcj-18-36.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41199802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Novice Meditators of an Easily Learnable Audible Mantram Sound Self-Induce an Increase in Vagal Tone During Short-term Practice: A Preliminary Study.","authors":"Venugopal R Damerla,&nbsp;Babette Goldstein,&nbsp;David Wolf,&nbsp;Krishna Madhavan,&nbsp;Nancy Patterson","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a vital role in regulation of the physiological processes during normal and pathological conditions. Heart rate variability (HRV) is regarded as a major indicator of the self-regulatory strength and balance of parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nerve system (SNS) impulses, as interpreted by the intrinsic nervous system of the heart. The present study focuses on the evaluation of the effects of audible and mindful practice of chanting meditation on HRV and on the cognitive disposition.</p><p><strong>Methodology: </strong>The subjects were randomly assigned to 2 different sounds based on monotone repetition. One was the <i>Hare Krishna Mantram</i> (HKM-Sanskrit experimental sound) and the other was a concocted sound (Sanskrit placebo). Changes in vagal tone were measured with respect to both time domain and frequency domains. Five-min baseline and postmeditation measurements were obtained on different days over the next 6 wk. The subjects who chanted the placebo/sham sound switched to the experimental sound at the 4-wk mark for the next 2 wk. All subjects completed an experience survey.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Paired <i>t</i> test results for all HRV parameters achieved statistical significance in the test group. Statistical significance in all the aforementioned measures of HRV was also observed on switching the control group placebo sound chanting to the experimental sound. HRV wave forms showed relaxation, a pattern and experience survey suggests an increase in attributes associated with higher self-regulation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study suggests statistically significant efficacy data and that a larger randomized study is feasible to test the potential of the audible repetition of the HKM in clinical settings. It may therefore enable beneficial lifestyle for health creation and thus play a role in the prevention of chronic diseases.
