MEDITATION AS MEDICINE PART II
PHYCHO PHYSIOLOGY OF
RAJA YOGA PART II
IN 1791,GALVANI WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO DECLARE THAT NERVES CONTAIN
SOME INTRINSIC FORM
OF ELECTRICITY.
SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT INTEREST IN
MEASURING THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF BRAIN.
HANS BERGER MADE THE FIRST RECORDING OF
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM (EEG) IN 1925.
EEG IS THE MEASUREMENT OF RHYTHMS OF
ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY ORIGINATING IN THE BRAIN.
BIOFEEDBACK MEANS SENDING BACK OF
BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TO THE PERSON WHOSE BODY IS
PRODUCING THE INFORMATION.
THIS STUDY ,REASERCH AND APPLICATION
HAVE BLOSSOMED
ONLY IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
THERE ARE 4 TYP OF BRAIN WAVES
THAT WE PRODUCE IN DIFFERENT STATES OF
ALERTNESS:-
ALPHA WAVES (8-13 PER SECOND) MODERATELY
FAST,HIGH VOLTAGE WAVES ,RECORDED WHEN
AN INDIVIDUAL IS AWAKE,
EYES CLOSED AND IS IN RELAXED
NONATTENTIVE STATE.
BETA WAVES (MORE THAN 13 PER SECOND)
COMPARATIVELY FASTER,LOW VOLTAGE WAVES
RECORDED WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL IS AWAKE,
EYES OPEN AND IS AN ACTIVE
OR ATTENTIVE STATE.
THETA WAVES (4-7 PER SECOND) SLOW,
LOW VOLTAGE WAVES,PREDOMINANT
DURING DROWSINESS.
DELTA WAVES (0-3 PER SECOND)
SLOWEST WAVES,HIGH VOLTAGE
RECORDED IN DEEP SLEEP.
MANY INVESTIGATION ARE CONDUCTED
ON
INDIVIDUALS PRACTISING
THE DIFFERENT METHOD
OF YOGA IN ORDER TO
ASSESS THEIR USEFULNESS.
ONE OF THE MOST RECENT STUDIES
INVOLVED
A SERIES OF PHYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL
EXPERIMENT,
MADE IN SAN FRANCISCO,CALIFORNIA (USA) AT
THE LANGLEY PORTER PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTION,
THESE INCLUDED ZEN,TEBETAN,TANTRIC AND
RAJA YOGA MEDITATION,
