morphing meditation

a slow morphing sequence for meditation - everything is flowing

Some explanations for this kind of "visual mantra":
The rhythm of the morphing is 10 seconds. This rhythm was found in the so-called „Mayer waves", which is a cardiovascular rhythm. If this rhythm is enhanced, it can lead to increases in parasympathetic and decreases in sympathetic activity. It might be helpful for stress management and relaxation. Perhaps not only a 10 seconds breathing interval can lead to such an enhancement, but also audiovisual stimulation can do this. Breathing directly in the rhythm of this video results in 20 seconds interval, which is too long for many people.
Just only try to relax and perhaps then the ten seconds stimulation can help you to do this.
For further information, please see the following articles:
Bernardi, L., Sleight, P., Bandinelli, G., Cencetti, S., Fattorini, L., Wdowczyc-Szulc, J. & Lagi, A. (2001). Effect of rosary prayer and yoga mantras on autonomic cardiovascular rhythms: comparative study. British Medical Journal, 323, 1446-1449.

For making this movie I used a very old but very good program for morphing - perhaps the best You can buy: Marlatt, J. (1994). Morph (Version 2.5 for Macintosh) {Computer Program Manual}. San Diego, CA: Gryphon Software Corporation. But it is not so easy to convert the old with morph 2.5 generated quicktime-movie to a new format. Helpful for me was then the free available program "super". Some additional work was done with ulead videostudio 9.

"If this rhythm is enhanced..."

What does that mean; enhanced how?

[ansgar1965]

The phrasing: "If this rhythm is enhanced..." is a little joke and refers to the funny book-title: "Enhancing Human Performance". A rhythm can not be enhanced and human performance can not be enhanced too. It is only possible to draw attention to the rhythm and then relaxation can be increased and if humans draw attention to their soul, they can be what there is, but not more.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm interested in your statement: human performance can not be enhanced.

Do you have more available on this perspective? Perhaps a different video or a website goes more into it. Or a book you could recommend.

A lot of books, websites and youtube videos are based on the idea that human performance can be enhanced.

I would also be interested in what you mean in refering to the human "soul".

Thanks again.

I could recommend three books. Perhaps you can read these books in the following sequence:

- a. koestler: darkness at noon.

- h. hesse: siddhartha: an indian tale.

- laotse: tao te king.

Perhaps you know that Isaac Newton was deeply impressed by the german shoemaker Jakob Böhme. A famous saying of Böhme was:

"Nicht ich, der ich ich bin, weiß es, sondern Gott weiß es in mir." Maybe this can be translated as: "Not I know it, that I am I, but God knows it in me."
