MEDITATION IN MEDICINE:
Calm Birth, Calm Parenting, Calm Healing, Congruent Practitioners


 VIRTUAL PHYSICS

 Consciousness is the highest order energy and affects our universe soley by its compressionall effect on quantized time-space. Timespace is spacetime where time is the more primary stuff.  This can be modulated into infinite variety of secondary, tertiary effects and can be willed, directed - though with difficulty.

Sure, it is self-evident that observer state influences what observer sees-BUT THAT IS UNRELATED TO OBSERVER EFFECT IN QM
 
To stay afloat and gain traction in Germany-the foremost country in all sciences- Heisenberg had to kiss up to the still-minority nazis. The result was uncertainty principle #1 which embodied crude observer effect which called GM into question by declaring that fine measurements couldnt be done without changing what was measured.
 
Mathematical proofs by others soon showed that, even if we had perfect measuring instruments, uncertainty would still exist in the realm of the vey small due to limitations imposed by Planck length
 
The avant garde quantum mechanics have mixed two invalid ideas and come up with a third invalid idea and promoted it for 30 years till they believe their own sales hype.
 
The fact is that the event is the same whether observed or not---contary ideas are entirely due to grade school misunderstanding of uncertainty principle which is ITSELF  bogus!

 

Coming soon:

Contextualization for use of meditation in a variety of integral medicine and experiential settings.

NONLOCAL HEALING FIELD

Let us reconsider the energetic nature of the universal field as it pertains to the medium of long- distance healing (intercessory prayer).

When energies of healing intention are directed toward another who isn’t physically present, the energies are directed outwards into the greater life-field and are simultaneously directed inwards into the omnipresent universal field. The external universal field probably contains the results of power plant facilities, fossil fuel and possibly nuclear, and other large-scale industrial effects, which may impact regions beyond their local domain in the biosphere. Such industrial qualification of the earth-field may be impacting the human potential for nonlocal healing, with respect to both the healer and the person who is the object of a healing intention.  At first this may seem unlikely, particularly if one considers that healing energy is nonphysical and may connect instantaneously with the objective it is directed to. But what if that is too simple an assumption? What if electrical and other man-made interferences act in as yet unknown/undefined interference with multidimensional human function and susceptibility?

In a paper dedicated to envisioning “what factors of consciousness may help to determine and develop healing potential” (Beal, 2004), James Beal investigates “recurrent, complex, interrelated patterns, processes, and temporal variations, influenced by the environment, - inherent in states of consciousness for better or worse (ibid, p.1). As far as indicating the range of concerns which may effect the ways in which environmental influences may be conditioned by the human body, Beal observes, “The human race shows great variability and tolerance to environmental elements, depending on age, gender, genetics, health, geographical location, culture, and personal belief systems, to name a few complexities!” (ibid). But though individual health may have such a range of responses both to environmental factors, generally local, and such nonlocal factors as energy changes and sun storms in nonlocal effective fields, it may well be that both opportunities for nonlocal healing and even the energetic resource for such healing work may be increasing in potential as the human species evolves into its emerging global awareness.

It has been noted (Dossey, 1993) that people demonstrating the capability of having a healing effect on others are often ordinary people, not notable for unusual (“anomalous”) capabilities and extraordinary consciousness. Rather, the demonstrate the fundamental genius of healing inherent in our immune system ability and the life force underlying it. Such demonstration is the sign of self-care at the heart of the emerging medical paradigm. Nonlocal and local environmental effects on the human species probably do not limit the human healing potential. Moreso, the potential negative effects of such fields may be diminished  by practitioners of nonlocal healing intention, particularly when groups of people, or individuals in cogent unity with groups or organizations, such as IONS, act with the intention to counterbalance, ameliorate, and reduce the effects of potentially negative environmental influences by engendering nondeteriorating fields supporting emergent greater human capability.

Though we must take very seriously the considerations that an increasing number of people may be hypersensitive to EMF and other industrial factors, for which the human immune system may have insufficient adjustment response, since the world population is very large and increasing, increasing members of its population may be inevitably turning to powerful cognitive and functional abilities, based in global vision and panoramic healing directionality. These factors have been inherent in human nature and now are manifesting as powers which may help the species emerge as one whose primary characteristic is its ability to function in multidimensional light awareness, for the first time approaching full knowledge of its potential form and function and the whole potential of its healing nature. Such nature may realize both the potential of zero-point energy (ZPE) as the human potential and may positively influence the ZPE potential in the evolutionary potential of the universe. “Should we further consider the possibility that such random vacuum energy (ZPE) might be subject to influence by consciousness or attention, then, given that it is well understood by physicists that a restructuring or “cohering” of vacuum energy would have physical consequences for matter, animate and inanimate, such could provide a rational basis for healing or other processes that are part and parcel of the pre-scientific view. In such fashion the similarities, differences, and possible synthesis of the pre-scientific and modern concepts of an all-pervasive energy field can be considered” (Puthoff, in Beal, 2004, p.6).

Thus matter and consciousness can be observed to have both fundamental and evolutionary qualities. The present era of human history may be characterized by an accelerated witnessing of the emerging evolutionary potential of the human species, in which the realization of its nature as light correspondingly generates a new and more appropriate model for medical science, a model of the human body that anticipates new forms of therapy and diagnosis.

Dissonance Resolution Meditation:
Medical Practitioners modelling Meditative Practice and Lifestyle

Multisensory exercises and consciousness skills also enhance learning and discussing salient points from various patient safety scenarios.  The scenarios are blended with seven main categories of Wellness Medicine. Wellness Medicine is also known as CAM, or Complementary-Alternative Medicine.  Nutrition, Exercise, and Self-Regulation makes up the fundamental “holy triad,” of wellness. The other four categories are: Neuromuscular Integration, Biomolecular Environment, Acupuncture/Nonallopathic Modalities, and Spiritual Attunement/Medical Intuition

DISSONANCE RESOLUTION  is the central key and fulcrum for leveraging effective learning of both Patient Safety and Wellness within an integrated web-based curriculum. Patient safety and wellness are intimately related because the essence of patient safety rests on the fundamental precepts of wellness. Optimal medical care results from any approach that encourages the patient to be in the driver’s seat and to take an active, family-centered role in healthcare. Dissonance resolution  can put the spotlight on patient relaxation.  Dissonance resolution is also a conceptual way of understanding how a person achieves mastery over disease and debilitation. Although “conflict resolution” has been used in psychology and behavioral sciences, dissonance resolution is a way of also recognizing less severe degrees of conflict and emphasizing the finer tuning and adaptation which humans can achieve. Resolving the finer degrees of dissonance is another route to mastery of stress and achievement of high-level wellness.  Musical, psychological, and neurophysiologic analogies are all useful for explaining how and why we use dissonance resolution to optimize both the content and process of our educational program series. (Gilula, 2006)

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DISSONANCE RESOLUTION:  The definition of Cognitive Dissonance and resolution of cognitive dissonance are important parts of psychology. “Cognitive dissonance is...discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation” (Atherton  2003).  Insight about personal behavior arrives at the cost of significant discomfort.  Sometime it’s better not to know.  Dissonance resolution in psychotherapy can  represent cognitive and emotional (affective)  elements of some psychological growth techniques.  Neighbor (1992) uses cognitive dissonance in the form of an “intellectual wedge” that is driven between learners’ current beliefs and “reality” as part of medical training.  When this approach works, it involves dissonance resolution because the by-product of resolving dissonance is resonance and coherence.   

NEUROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DISSONANCE RESOLUTION: Dissonance Resolution within the nervous system is easy to demonstrate neurophysiologically because we can detect electrical fields and currents by analyzing neural activity with EKG (heart) and EEG (brain)  techniques. Our program focuses particularly on the neurological aspects of the heart and of the brain.  Basic science research has documented well the existence of afferent  connecting pathways of information going from the heart to the central nervous system (Armour and Ardell 1994). The heart is therefore a source of incoming information that is received and decoded in the brain and then fed back to the heart itself.   FFT (Fast Fourier Transforms) or other methods of frequency analysis with both the EKG and the EEG have shown a difference in the coherence of electrical frequencies during different emotional states.  During states of focus, appreciation, love, and other positive feelings, the basic EKG frequencies tend to line up behind other waves of similar frequencies, and when this happens to a high degree, the person is said to be in a “coherent” state. (Tiller,WA, McCraty, R., Atkinson, M. 1996)  Angry, hostile, disorganized states tend to show a lack of coherence in the basic EKG frequencies.   

Characteristics of neurophysiologic tracings during states of significant empathy often show bioentrainnment and coherence. Bioentrainment is when a form of electrical activity in one individual matches or “drives” that of another individual. The entrainment does not have to involve peaceful or coherent activity.  It has been shown electrophysiologically that feelings of anxiety, anger, and disorganization can be shared and entrained between two individuals.   During dissonance resolution we may expect to find neurophysiologic evidence of coherence, resonance, and bioentrainment.  Dissonance resolution is designed into our program to enhance learning, to enhance coherent and resonant states, and to make learning more pleasurable and occur at a progressively higher level.

Studies of coherence and biofeedback phenomena show that the human nervous system can be brought under voluntary control, but there is yet a deeper level of control which seems to operate just out of conscious awareness.  If an individual is sufficiently relaxed, it is possible to communicate directly with one’s own wiring system.  Biofeedback researchers have described a type of “passive volition” achieved by subjects who can control their EKG or EEG.  Passive volition involves becoming deeply relaxed and then gently willing a change in the body/mind function that is being monitored such as EKG or EEG.

Neurological aspects of dissonance resolution include become more and more sensitive to very subtle levels of  internal disharmony.  Learning to identify the internal disharmony is similar to learning the “passive volition” of EEG or EKG control. Learning to type requires some focus and concentration, and the same is true for learning voluntary control over physiologic functions.  It does not require special intellectual abilities to learn either typing or voluntary internal control. 

Barriers to learning are illustrated by the concept of dissonance. 

Just how the dissonance gets resolved is not so easy to explain.  Some neurophysiologic dissonance resolution  seems to be self-correction on the part of the human nervous system, especially when there is some conscious awareness or attention focused on the problem at hand.  One example would be when  two or more individuals are doing EEG biofeedback and experience an entrainment of their brain wave frequencies.  Various psychotherapies, yoga, and other types of meditation can promote the achievement of internal coherence. Exposing the human nervous system to dissonance in graded doses that are not overwhelming can do the same thing. Coherent states can correlate with relaxation, more efficient learning, and unique or creative problem-solving.

When gamers are exposed to alternating degrees of complexity, the nervous system goes through the process of resolving the cognitive conflicts that are presented by the program. However, becoming adapted to unfamiliar controls and keystrokes to achieve novel simulation behaviors invokes a self-tuning  neurological mechanism as the end-user first experiences discomfort and then gradually becomes comfortable with the simulation controls and their results.  This is not merely a matter of reducing a degree of cognitive dissonance or cognitive conflict, but actually relating to the core discomfort coming from a lack of familiarity with both neural controls and game controls. 

The entire progression of focusing on static and then on animated, and then on variably animated visual objects accompanied by their corresponding musical patterns throughout the program’s modules ultimately makes it easier for the learner to continue focusing at the higher, more difficult and “more expert” levels of the program. Gaming programmers usually focus on making the levels increasingly more difficult to navigate, but do not focus on how to optimize the quality of the gamer’s learning and progressions.  (Gilula)
