00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:07,890
[Music]

2
00:00:12,850 --> 00:00:10,690
I'm going to share some data that I've

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:12,860
been collecting over the years doing

4
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:15,250
brain mapping studies of healers and

5
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:17,630
I've also worked with some meditators

6
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:22,160
and the healers include mystics and

7
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:24,110
shamans you'll see some data and some

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:28,430
shamans as well now how did I ever get

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:30,650
into something like this and I'll

10
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:33,530
briefly give you the story I was working

11
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:34,550
at the University of Washington Medical

12
00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:37,160
Center running an EEG lab there in the

13
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:38,239
Department of Radiology

14
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:41,390
and I attended one of those whole-life

15
00:00:48,610 --> 00:00:45,440
body expo I got on a table and received

16
00:00:51,369 --> 00:00:48,620
a Reiki treatment and I got off 20

17
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:51,379
minutes later seeing a halo around the

18
00:00:56,259 --> 00:00:53,780
woman and feeling like something had

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:00:56,269
really happened had shifted inside of me

20
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:00,170
now I've done a lot of bodywork

21
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:01,910
transformational work you know

22
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:04,550
psychoactives etc so I knew something

23
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:08,320
had happened so I left there with that

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:14,330
thought that this may be available you

25
00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:16,370
know you know you might see something if

26
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:18,380
you hook up a healer to an EEG machine

27
00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:20,750
and discover that they're doing

28
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:23,900
something different so that was the the

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:26,300
seed that started this and in the short

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:30,650
time I was enrolled in a Reiki group and

31
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:33,170
I got up to second level and I'm a Reiki

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:35,120
practitioner I don't do it a lot that I

33
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:37,250
love to do it so I had access to all

34
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:39,320
this Reiki community so they started

35
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:40,670
coming in the lab and I started to hook

36
00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:43,100
him up and getting data and pretty soon

37
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:44,750
other healers were learning about this

38
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:46,070
and they were coming and knocking on the

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:50,710
door and before long I had a large

40
00:01:58,900 --> 00:01:56,810
sample to work with I like to show this

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:01:58,910
slide because I think this is where it

42
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:02,930
all starts this is a beautiful image of

43
00:02:08,770 --> 00:02:05,630
a rock painting from South Africa about

44
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:08,780
approximately ten thousand years and it

45
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:11,030
shows a healing circle and in the center

46
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:14,510
is the healer shaman you can't see the

47
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:16,520
client very well it's kind of washed out

48
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:19,300
but he's doing hands-on healing and this

49
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:22,560
Circle is all of the support in

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:27,760
traditional healing rituals the people

51
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:30,970
participate this guy here has his rack

52
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:34,120
of antennas in place and everything and

53
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:37,750
he's probably also a healer working with

54
00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:40,420
perhaps life force energy depicted there

55
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:44,620
by the snake all right so this is just

56
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:45,910
something very quick

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:49,780
most of these healers describe it as

58
00:03:00,740 --> 00:02:53,770
some energy there's many traditions and

59
00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:00,750
they the common word is something like

60
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:08,860
mana energy Chi Elan vital arutam in the

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:11,700
tradition of the ecuadorian Schwar

62
00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:16,690
kundalini etc some people just say I

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:19,660
just channeled Christ energy I just

64
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:21,610
channeled universal life force energy it

65
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:25,840
works through me so and I've had the

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:29,500
good fortune to meet many healers of

67
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:31,530
many diverse traditions who have been

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:33,580
interested in getting hooked up and

69
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:35,290
tested so I'm gonna give you like a

70
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:40,360
comparative survey these are some Alex

71
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:45,209
gray paintings which I think depict the

72
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:47,880
energy healing component of all this

73
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:50,350
once you start doing this you you sort

74
00:03:55,140 --> 00:03:53,320
of cross over into science spirituality

75
00:03:59,880 --> 00:03:55,150
so I'm hanging out there in the science

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:03:59,890
spirituality conversation the probably

77
00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:03,250
the first in fact the word therapeutics

78
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:06,220
comes from this escalade peon tradition

79
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:09,910
in greece which is really shamanic

80
00:04:17,580 --> 00:04:13,360
medicine in classical greek times now a

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:17,590
little word about EEG the discoverer of

82
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:20,530
EG was a German psychiatrist Hans Berger

83
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:25,600
and he was motivated by a sigh incident

84
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,820
he was nearly badly injured by an

85
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:32,720
accident when he was in the

86
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:39,290
I mean Canyon almost hmm you know rolled

87
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:42,560
over him and that same it says describes

88
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:45,680
a story he received a telegram from his

89
00:04:51,130 --> 00:04:49,430
father I think it says and his sister

90
00:04:53,950 --> 00:04:51,140
had had a premonition that he was going

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:53,960
to have an accident so this event marked

92
00:05:00,220 --> 00:04:56,570
him for his life and he was determined

93
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:00,230
that some form of communication some

94
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:02,030
information had reached him

95
00:05:08,740 --> 00:05:06,800
telepathically and this is why he got

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:08,750
into exploring the possibilities of

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:10,970
detecting something in the brain and he

98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:13,130
used his son initially as a subject to

99
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:15,410
do and he described the first alpha

100
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:18,310
rhythm and didn't publish until 1929

101
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:20,660
okay these are just some slides to

102
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:22,160
entertain you because these are

103
00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:25,130
different healing traditions I have had

104
00:05:29,050 --> 00:05:26,600
the opportunity to work with the which

105
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:29,060
all people the peyote people in Mexico

106
00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:33,110
and also the ayahuasca Amazonian

107
00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:35,720
tradition the Kuna so these are all

108
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:42,140
depictions of healers doing work all

109
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:43,840
right

110
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:48,430
everyone wants to know what is the whole

111
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:51,650
summary bottom line of this and that's a

112
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:53,450
difficult question to answer because

113
00:05:58,930 --> 00:05:56,930
I've sampled over 30 healers perhaps

114
00:06:02,560 --> 00:05:58,940
more but the data the good data is from

115
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:02,570
about 30 and this is these are the

116
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,470
findings the dominant frequency band

117
00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:08,800
that shows significant changes

118
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:10,340
consistent robust

119
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:15,080
is alpha now there are healers who don't

120
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:17,780
produce the classic alpha they live in

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:19,490
theta and I'll show you an example of

122
00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:22,610
one and these are kind of a special

123
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:24,590
group and then there are the individuals

124
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:27,890
that don't have very much alpha for

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:30,080
reasons of having had a traumatic brain

126
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:32,930
injury or just their wired in a

127
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:35,360
different way and we'll see some data of

128
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:37,280
some of these individuals and they

129
00:06:42,909 --> 00:06:40,849
usually have Delta beta however one of

130
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:42,919
them when he was in the healing state

131
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:46,010
brought up his alpha and you'll see that

132
00:06:53,530 --> 00:06:49,910
okay so we start with this is a medicine

133
00:06:57,970 --> 00:06:53,540
man apache friend of mine that I had an

134
00:06:59,770 --> 00:06:57,980
opportunity to work with and this was a

135
00:07:02,830 --> 00:06:59,780
PowerPoint that we threw together for

136
00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:02,840
him but what it shows is you do a

137
00:07:08,380 --> 00:07:05,420
baseline you do about a 10-minute eyes

138
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:08,390
close resting baseline recording and

139
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:11,210
then you ask the healer to do their

140
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:14,440
thing now they have to be able to remain

141
00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:17,480
motionless relatively so you won't

142
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:21,230
record movement artifacts so a lot of it

143
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:24,620
is their ability to go into that state

144
00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:26,540
and imagine that they're doing all the

145
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:27,620
things that they do when they're healing

146
00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:29,930
because you run into healers that say

147
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:32,870
well I only work by walking around my

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:35,480
client and waving my hands and I need to

149
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:37,970
have all of this activity however most

150
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:40,130
of them you can talk them into just

151
00:07:47,140 --> 00:07:43,790
sitting still and imagining it so this

152
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:47,150
is a case where this man doesn't have

153
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:49,220
very much alpha in fact very unusual

154
00:07:57,490 --> 00:07:54,350
alpha which has a focus frontal left

155
00:07:59,680 --> 00:07:57,500
frontal the traditional common normal

156
00:08:03,310 --> 00:07:59,690
alpha is parietal occipital back here

157
00:08:08,590 --> 00:08:03,320
however he did shift his alpha central

158
00:08:10,330 --> 00:08:08,600
it increased by about 67% and all of

159
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:10,340
these are called connectivity maps and

160
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:13,730
you can see these are coherence is is a

161
00:08:18,850 --> 00:08:16,460
measure of synchrony between different

162
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:18,860
sites all the possible combinations of

163
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:22,490
paired sites so his brain is going into

164
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:24,650
different states that's the proof right

165
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:27,440
here from these maps this one shows a

166
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:28,310
similar pattern

167
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:32,990
it's an asymmetry now the client that he

168
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:36,290
worked with had had some head injury

169
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:39,200
issues and in fact was a woman that I

170
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:41,090
mapped several times and every time we

171
00:08:46,930 --> 00:08:43,430
would get the same kind of a map so her

172
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:46,940
eg signature was quite reliable and so

173
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:49,130
he shifted it in particular these

174
00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,730
coherence lines these are z-scores this

175
00:08:57,730 --> 00:08:54,560
is reference to a database this is a

176
00:08:58,590 --> 00:08:57,740
clinical eg suite called neuro guide so

177
00:09:04,199 --> 00:08:58,600
this

178
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:04,209
is a measure of conduction velocity in

179
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:07,600
the brain so there's the thick lines are

180
00:09:13,850 --> 00:09:11,410
the +3 or more standard deviation

181
00:09:16,439 --> 00:09:13,860
z-scores and so these shifted as well

182
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:16,449
she did not show an increase in alpha

183
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:18,040
she didn't have very much alpha to begin

184
00:09:24,269 --> 00:09:21,540
with that meant that level their 12

185
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:24,279
micro volts square is very much on the

186
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:28,660
low side now let's get into some data

187
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:33,670
here this is me I decided it was high

188
00:09:41,819 --> 00:09:38,769
time for my EEG to attempt to do a Reiki

189
00:09:44,579 --> 00:09:41,829
healing to see if I could also increase

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:44,589
my alpha power and indeed I was able to

191
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:48,610
do that so this is what this gives you

192
00:09:55,259 --> 00:09:51,600
is a topographic map with the peak

193
00:09:57,449 --> 00:09:55,269
values shown by the scales here so this

194
00:09:59,999 --> 00:09:57,459
is like reading a weather map ok so this

195
00:10:03,449 --> 00:10:00,009
would be now Denver and this would be

196
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:03,459
Nova Scotian or something and so my

197
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:06,730
alpha is highest at P Z which is the

198
00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:09,790
midline parietal and I increased it by

199
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:14,860
approximately 49% so more experienced

200
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:16,480
Reiki healers can increase it even

201
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:21,430
further these are some power frequency

202
00:10:29,699 --> 00:10:25,120
spectra these are FFTs that you compute

203
00:10:31,699 --> 00:10:29,709
from the raw EEG and so this is a quick

204
00:10:34,290 --> 00:10:31,709
convenient way to see changes in

205
00:10:36,809 --> 00:10:34,300
frequencies and power and this is an

206
00:10:40,170 --> 00:10:36,819
example from another Reiki healer notice

207
00:10:43,939 --> 00:10:40,180
the scale here is 215 that's the highest

208
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:43,949
peak it's an occipital sight and now

209
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:47,649
look at the scale under Reiki and so

210
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:49,839
again these are the topo maps derived

211
00:10:57,090 --> 00:10:52,240
from this data they also show the

212
00:10:59,189 --> 00:10:57,100
increased values so this is the most

213
00:11:01,620 --> 00:10:59,199
consistent robust effect that I see

214
00:11:05,460 --> 00:11:01,630
across many healing modalities and we'll

215
00:11:09,059 --> 00:11:05,470
see examples of that okay here's another

216
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:09,069
one now in this case the client is the

217
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:12,310
one recorded with the EEG so I

218
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:15,040
most of the tests have been recording

219
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:18,070
from the healer but I have now a sizable

220
00:11:23,690 --> 00:11:20,950
body of data recording from the client

221
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:23,700
receiving the healing I have not done

222
00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:26,590
simultaneous paired recordings of client

223
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:30,940
and healer that's gonna be next but this

224
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:32,860
was surprising the clients that are

225
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:34,870
receiving a healing also show a big

226
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:38,170
boost in alpha power and in this case

227
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:41,260
this was a very powerful healer who

228
00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:43,990
worked on a woman and brought up her

229
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:47,560
alpha so you can see that it increased

230
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:50,830
by approximately 46% these are the

231
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:54,520
before and during I call it the healing

232
00:12:03,300 --> 00:11:58,480
state so in in all of these studies I'm

233
00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:03,310
really interested in defining a brain

234
00:12:10,290 --> 00:12:06,940
state a change in a brain state that is

235
00:12:15,050 --> 00:12:10,300
occurring during the healing state

236
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:15,060
during the actual practice of the

237
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:19,650
session I'm not concerned with the

238
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:22,270
effects of the healing the outcomes

239
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:24,310
whether you know they healed an illness

240
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:26,110
or disease that's a whole other study

241
00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:30,430
that needs to be addressed later this is

242
00:12:37,170 --> 00:12:33,840
from recently from a Chinese woman who

243
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:37,180
practices Qi Gong and some other

244
00:12:44,190 --> 00:12:39,580
techniques and she wanted to be hooked

245
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:44,200
up and we got a nice 48% increase in her

246
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:49,300
alpha power so she very knew very little

247
00:12:54,570 --> 00:12:52,330
of Reiki or Jouret or pranic healing or

248
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,580
any of those other modalities this is

249
00:13:00,360 --> 00:12:57,040
the theta healer that I worked with a

250
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:00,370
woman in Texas who is a well-known

251
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:04,440
healer in the area you can see that she

252
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:07,270
does not have a normal alpha peak in

253
00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:09,510
fact her principal frequency is around

254
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:13,240
6.5 right there she has a prominent peak

255
00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:16,480
and then she has a beta a low beta peak

256
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:19,660
which is like a harmonic here at 13

257
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:25,360
this is one of the sessions that we did

258
00:13:35,210 --> 00:13:32,010
now she is well I should mention this

259
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:35,220
that theta healers typically have very

260
00:13:38,390 --> 00:13:37,710
high sensitivity to reading the their

261
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:38,400
empaths

262
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:43,130
they have access to their subconscious

263
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:47,220
they often live in a sort of a semi

264
00:13:51,470 --> 00:13:49,770
translate in her case she's all the time

265
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:51,480
she's communicating with angelic guides

266
00:13:59,630 --> 00:13:57,810
and you know she's a character so this

267
00:14:03,260 --> 00:13:59,640
is her brain and now this is the effect

268
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,270
of her healing a client and I had never

269
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:06,000
seen anything like this his alpha power

270
00:14:12,350 --> 00:14:08,490
was increased almost two hundred fifty

271
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:12,360
percent at Oh - that's occipital right

272
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:14,790
on this side and this is called a

273
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,160
difference map this is the topo map

274
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:19,920
derived from this data and what you do

275
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:22,830
here is you subtract the baseline from

276
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:27,680
the treatment and the only positive

277
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,660
colors show up in the Alpha indicating

278
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:32,160
that this is where the big change

279
00:14:37,190 --> 00:14:34,590
happened it's a very significant change

280
00:14:40,450 --> 00:14:37,200
so that's another quite graphic way to

281
00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:40,460
show that changes in the different

282
00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:42,780
frequency bands I had an opportunity

283
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:45,540
years ago to work with Richard Bartlett

284
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:48,120
the matrix energetics guy this is when

285
00:14:54,410 --> 00:14:50,580
he had long hair and he was living near

286
00:14:58,100 --> 00:14:54,420
Seattle and wanted to be tested so

287
00:15:01,520 --> 00:14:58,110
they're at the bottom right he's sending

288
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:01,530
his matrix energetic healing to his

289
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,290
daughter justice I believe is her name

290
00:15:13,270 --> 00:15:07,440
and you know Richard is a very playful

291
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:13,280
guy and quite in a class of his own and

292
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:17,580
so what was interesting was he was able

293
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:21,830
to raise the receiver the clients alpha

294
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:25,170
this is the before you see there's

295
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:28,370
here's the ten Hertz there's very few

296
00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:31,950
scattered Peaks you know and so you

297
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:35,240
average this is 300

298
00:15:42,130 --> 00:15:38,450
a pox each epoch is about eight seconds

299
00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:42,140
so and then when she's receiving the

300
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:44,980
healing there is now beginning to show a

301
00:15:52,329 --> 00:15:49,040
peak at ten the red bar is the Alpha bar

302
00:15:53,650 --> 00:15:52,339
this is lexico or software now I work

303
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:53,660
with the different system it's our

304
00:15:57,250 --> 00:15:56,000
amplifiers but these are compressed

305
00:15:59,470 --> 00:15:57,260
spectral arrays and they show very

306
00:16:02,199 --> 00:15:59,480
nicely and you can just get the numbers

307
00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:02,209
right off here average power peak to

308
00:16:07,570 --> 00:16:05,270
peak now this is Richard Bartlett's

309
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:07,580
brain when he's doing his energy and

310
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:10,490
energy matrix healing he doesn't have

311
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:13,510
normal alpha as you can see very very

312
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,110
reduced amplitude not at some sites

313
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:20,480
these are frontal sites so I didn't show

314
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:22,160
his occipital sites data they would

315
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:24,680
probably be more out for there but this

316
00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:26,570
is what I was able to capture he

317
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:31,279
generates bursts of gamma so this was a

318
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:35,450
clear demonstration he intuited that he

319
00:16:39,490 --> 00:16:37,790
was gonna go there he said to me let's

320
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:39,500
go for gamma because that's where I

321
00:16:44,889 --> 00:16:43,279
think I do my work and indeed and I have

322
00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:44,899
not been able to replicate that with

323
00:16:49,930 --> 00:16:47,120
other healers who claim that they also

324
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:49,940
work in gamma frequencies now this is

325
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:51,950
interesting data this is from a Swami an

326
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:55,010
Indian Swami Nithyananda that I had the

327
00:16:59,470 --> 00:16:56,870
opportunity to work with and he told me

328
00:17:02,530 --> 00:16:59,480
that he's always meditating so his

329
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:02,540
baseline and his meditation maps look

330
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:05,329
almost identical okay

331
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:08,150
these are FFTs and these are the sites

332
00:17:12,939 --> 00:17:11,540
the 19 channels of the 10:20 system the

333
00:17:16,929 --> 00:17:12,949
only difference is a little bit more

334
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:16,939
beta shown here this color in the low

335
00:17:22,540 --> 00:17:19,640
beta around the 14 Hertz or so this

336
00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:22,550
little green peak alright well he went

337
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:25,550
into a Samadhi State at that same

338
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:28,250
session okay and the only difference

339
00:17:34,690 --> 00:17:31,790
there is that he increases his beta okay

340
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:34,700
so quite remarkable you see the little

341
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:37,570
green peak now when he's doing healing

342
00:17:46,570 --> 00:17:42,650
his alpha comes up okay so this is

343
00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,580
another indication that even a Swami

344
00:17:50,590 --> 00:17:48,559
like that works in alpha these are the

345
00:17:53,499 --> 00:17:50,600
shamans and I'll just rush through this

346
00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:53,509
very quickly Peruvian shaman here's the

347
00:18:00,759 --> 00:17:58,220
Alpha increase in the client this is

348
00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:00,769
another shaman a woman from Oaxaca the

349
00:18:06,190 --> 00:18:02,960
Mazatec tradition she does something

350
00:18:11,139 --> 00:18:06,200
that she calls a singing healing and her

351
00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:11,149
alpha went way up this is somebody I

352
00:18:15,999 --> 00:18:13,039
very recently did who does something

353
00:18:17,649 --> 00:18:16,009
called holographic visualization where

354
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:17,659
she's actually working on the hologram

355
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:19,309
of the body that she's repairing and

356
00:18:24,909 --> 00:18:21,440
she's oh she does intense visualization

357
00:18:28,090 --> 00:18:24,919
her alpha went up this is a deeksha

358
00:18:30,999 --> 00:18:28,100
healer and so the client receiving the

359
00:18:33,989 --> 00:18:31,009
healing big increase in alpha same thing

360
00:18:36,609 --> 00:18:33,999
difference maps showing the Alpha and

361
00:18:40,899 --> 00:18:36,619
now this is a Buddhist monk that I

362
00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:40,909
recorded also in Texas who could produce

363
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:43,820
alpha when he was doing a very specific

364
00:18:49,989 --> 00:18:45,970
type of meditation that involved a

365
00:18:51,970 --> 00:18:49,999
visualization task alright his alpha

366
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:51,980
changed appreciably doing visualization

367
00:18:57,460 --> 00:18:54,350
you can see the peak is off the charts

368
00:19:02,590 --> 00:18:57,470
here okay these are just some statistics

369
00:19:07,779 --> 00:19:02,600
I have this was the early one an N of 20

370
00:19:10,690 --> 00:19:07,789
analyzed baseline average power values

371
00:19:12,399 --> 00:19:10,700
are increased consistently the numbers

372
00:19:16,090 --> 00:19:12,409
are very significant these are

373
00:19:18,389 --> 00:19:16,100
correlated samples you're looking at a

374
00:19:23,259 --> 00:19:18,399
healer as his own self control

375
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:23,269
this is values for the clients receiving

376
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:27,289
the healer I have an N of nine and also

377
00:19:33,730 --> 00:19:28,850
very significant increases in alpha

378
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:33,740
power so in conclusion I think the most

379
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:39,490
important things here are oh pardon me

380
00:19:45,879 --> 00:19:42,080
what does this really mean increased

381
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:45,889
power is is a result of increased

382
00:19:50,049 --> 00:19:47,779
synchrony in increased numbers of

383
00:19:53,169 --> 00:19:50,059
neurons communicating and firing

384
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:53,179
together so this means that more areas

385
00:19:59,259 --> 00:19:56,470
of the brain are recruited and are

386
00:20:01,530 --> 00:19:59,269
linking up and firing synchronously

387
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:01,540
often you see a lot of phase

388
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:05,090
coherence during the alpha increase in

389
00:20:09,850 --> 00:20:08,030
in power and how do they get there well

390
00:20:12,669 --> 00:20:09,860
most of them say they just let go and

391
00:20:15,220 --> 00:20:12,679
they get out of the way so that coupled

392
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:15,230
with visualization would get you into an

393
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:17,420
alpha state and then I've done some

394
00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:20,450
distant healing a woman from Seattle

395
00:20:25,570 --> 00:20:22,820
sending healing to a client in

396
00:20:27,970 --> 00:20:25,580
California we got an alpha increase this

397
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:27,980
is my most recent data so it's very

398
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:29,920
exciting because I may be able to

399
00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:32,510
increase that sample size and show that

400
00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:35,840
this is a really non-local effect so

401
00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:38,670
I'll leave you with that and I thank you

402
00:20:58,830 --> 00:20:48,730
turn that on here we go that much better

403
00:21:01,990 --> 00:20:58,840
all right if you have any questions your

404
00:21:05,290 --> 00:21:02,000
your coherence maps were those just

405
00:21:06,790 --> 00:21:05,300
alpha coherence Maps yes okay right do

406
00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:06,800
you think if you did say to cohere have

407
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:09,740
you done that there's a lot of coherence

408
00:21:14,110 --> 00:21:11,480
data that I haven't analyzed it because

409
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:14,120
it's quite complex to analyze coherence

410
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:18,530
and you don't see anything that looks

411
00:21:23,410 --> 00:21:20,690
consistent from trial to trial you know

412
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:23,420
I mean when you look at an EEG you know

413
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:25,730
the complexity of analyzing an EEG and

414
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:28,490
then when you have many and you're

415
00:21:34,330 --> 00:21:31,070
looking for something that you can say

416
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:34,340
this change is systematically it's a big

417
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:37,640
task so that's why I focused on the

418
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:38,809
Alpha because that was the most

419
00:21:43,930 --> 00:21:40,760
repeatable reliable consistent effect

420
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:43,940
and it's a big effect I like something

421
00:21:49,150 --> 00:21:45,679
greater than 30% I'm an

422
00:21:50,470 --> 00:21:49,160
electrophysiologist and I I don't just

423
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:50,480
want to rely on statistics to

424
00:21:54,250 --> 00:21:51,830
demonstrate an effect I want to actually

425
00:21:58,090 --> 00:21:54,260
see it in the raw data you know yeah

426
00:22:02,169 --> 00:21:58,100
sure but I thank you for that I will

427
00:22:04,570 --> 00:22:02,179
look at that I I'm a simian hein

428
00:22:06,130 --> 00:22:04,580
can you comment on this machine that

429
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:06,140
I've read about recently that's being

430
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:10,010
used by DARPA to Train snipers to do

431
00:22:14,620 --> 00:22:12,590
their work faster and better apparently

432
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:14,630
they can train to become a sniper twice

433
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:15,260
as fast

434
00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:17,090
when they're in an alpha state but it's

435
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:19,040
induced by a machine and I'm wondering

436
00:22:21,250 --> 00:22:20,240
what the difference is between that and

437
00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:21,260
a self-induced

438
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:24,950
alpha state I really can't comment

439
00:22:30,370 --> 00:22:27,410
because I don't know about this but I

440
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:30,380
think it's fascinating yeah I do narrow

441
00:22:36,610 --> 00:22:33,710
feedback so you can train to boost your

442
00:22:40,690 --> 00:22:36,620
alpha and get into alpha states and

443
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:40,700
there's a fellow my name of Jim Hart who

444
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:42,890
I think now lives in Canada who used to

445
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:44,960
do alpha training and he would get

446
00:22:52,630 --> 00:22:50,000
people for a week and you know put him

447
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:52,640
inside boots and work with alpha

448
00:22:56,890 --> 00:22:54,710
training and you know at the end of the

449
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:56,900
week they they were talking to God

450
00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:58,970
apparently you know they they would have

451
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:01,760
very transformative transcendent

452
00:23:10,510 --> 00:23:07,360
experiences so you know the Alpha

453
00:23:13,630 --> 00:23:10,520
frequency it's involved in many many

454
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:13,640
things there's many the most number of

455
00:23:18,310 --> 00:23:16,730
papers in eg research are probably

456
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:18,320
concerned with alpha it's been studied

457
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:21,650
in innumerable ways it's involved also

458
00:23:31,060 --> 00:23:25,840
in cognition memory it's not just an

459
00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:31,070
idling rhythm that is is a measure of

460
00:23:35,370 --> 00:23:32,900
inactivity which is sort of the

461
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:35,380
conventional view of looking at it so

462
00:23:40,659 --> 00:23:38,059
interestingly I heard a healer many

463
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:40,669
years ago before I did any of this who

464
00:23:44,980 --> 00:23:42,470
was a chiropractor who would work on a

465
00:23:49,450 --> 00:23:44,990
group of people and he said oh it's all

466
00:23:52,690 --> 00:23:49,460
it's all happening in the alpha band you

467
00:23:55,570 --> 00:23:52,700
know and I I thought how does he know

468
00:24:01,420 --> 00:23:55,580
that you know has he tested that and so
