Translation Draft
As you could "see" in the posts that started with 09.02.2015, I "managed" to approach some (not many, but enough to write a little book) of the main general notions of our whole "declaration" represented by the triad "body-mind-soul(spirit)".
As you could "see" in the posts that started with 09.02.2015, I "managed" to approach some (not many, but enough to write a little book) of the main general notions of our whole "declaration" represented by the triad "body-mind-soul(spirit)".
The
time has come to do a small analysis, concentration, of the main
data presented so that we can go on the path of therapies (as
they were called). so...
Recording of cortical electrical activity reveals that normally in an adult human appear where alpha, beta and, in a small proportion (less than 10 – 15%) where the teta. The delta state is a special state, difficult to detect in adults but strongly manifested in the child, especially in the range 0 – 3 years. If you have been careful, the "strength" of therapies increases as the brain rhythm decreases but, of course, it is done with training, often requesting assistance from an "initiate". Well, the "purpose" of all the lines to come is for you to need such assistance as little as possible. And, if the decrease in the brain rate is the "that matters", we will start our little introductory analysis (general notions) from the largest "operating state" to the smallest, i.e. from the range (gamma – also called "superbeta"), to beta, then alpha (alpha), teta (tetha) and delta.
Obviously, the gamma state requires the most "involved" workouts and a Buddhist temple or other similar practice area is very hard to find. this leads us to "leave" this form of therapy behind. Beta therapies are somewhat more accessible but also require almost generalized assistance, being the forms of therapy in which we self-medicate, therefore, contraindicated without the assistance of a doctor, in which we turn to alternative therapies, so other assistance or simply when we call the doctor or psychologist or we are medical professionals, so other assistance and other major "educational" efforts.
So we'll leave them behind, too, although they're not the "last" (I've actually made an introduction about these forms of therapy, about all, many hundreds of pages in last year's posts, and I'm still not going to pay any concrete attention to these forms of therapy, but I'm just going to develop through additions, many, many, many of all, and customizations. , topics already existing directly on the dorinm.ro).
So, by elimination, we've reached, for a start, the alpha stage...
For those who turned to performing an electroencephalogram (EEG), the first perception needed to get to the alpha rhythm was the EEG specialist's request that we close our eyes and stop thinking about anything. For many of us this is a pretty easy request, isn't it? But as easy as it is, the appearance of a stimulus, such as a noise or light interrupts the alpha rhythm by bringing us into beta (there's no point in pointing out what happens if we open our eyes). So our first perception of alpha rhythm is that it represents a state of mental and sensory rest.
From the point of view of "educated" (like me, for example, hi, hi , hi), means that the reticulated formation is largely disaferented by stimuli coming from the periphery and from inside the body. In turn, the reticulated formation will reduce the flow of nerve impulses sent to the cerebral crust. The consequence will be a state of rest, relaxation, minimal activity and, as a result, minimum energy consumption (at least at the cerebral level), therefore, of maximum energy potential. This also leads to other effects such as: greater brain responsiveness, increased ability to coordinate body function, other efficiency through the use of commonly out-of-date potentialities.
This alpha rhythm has been given particular attention since the 1960s, when it was found to be prolonged in the altered states of consciousness that practitioners of oriental psychosomatic training systems were performing. In a short time, through numerous laboratory studies, it was found that, after a certain training time, the subjects were relatively easy to obtain an intermediate state expressed to the EG through alpha and teta waves, and psychologically through a state of reverie. This state was called creative reverie.
Moreover, it has been determined that the release of consciousness from external sensory stimuli facilitates our orientation towards our interior. It becomes a consciousness that can expand in the depth of our psychological universe by penetrating into the world of the unconscious, the seat not only of involuntary command functions but also of affective and creative impulses. This gives access to the "secret" areas of the subconscious, where the archetypal information and the motivation of the authentic being are stored. it comes down to the knowledge of the Self, of our authentic self, of the truth about us.
All the experiments carried out, all (tens of millions of practitioners), have confirmed that man can learn to "converse" with his own unconscious, thus getting to know himself, benefiting from the immense unused potentialities of his brain. Oriental spirituality dealt, as we have seen, with our inner being, that authentic, programmed in the original archetype. Modern sciences have dealt with the external sphere of activity, our phenomenological reality. But, as I was saying, modern man must combine both forms of knowledge, by making a symbiosis between the inside and the outside, a synthesis between old and new, between the suggestion of antiquity and the possibilities of modern sciences. This is the way to our optimization, to completeness, the "path to the gods".
So, very often, over the course of many posts, I have always mentioned something called biofeedback or, simply, feedback. Breaking the barrier between conscious and unconscious, between voluntary and involuntary, was suggested by oriental psychosomatic training systems, validated in the modern world much later by extensive experiments, including on laboratory animals. And the first big discovery of these experiments was the massive "intrusion" of biofeedback.
The history of biofeedback begins in the late 1950s (1958) when Joe Kamya aims to study the possibility of controlling the waves emitted by our own brain. The feedback phenomenon, with the meaning of connection or reverse link, occurs with cybernetics, with Norbert Wiener borrowing it from radiotechnics and considering it as a fundamental principle of automatic regulation of functionality in living organisms and in "machines".
So, in our case, biofeedback is aimed at the possibility of gaining conscious control, thus voluntary of involuntary functions under the command of the unconscious. It's a conscious take-over of involuntary functions. In order to obtain this conscious control, it is necessary, first, for this function to be noticed. We quickly pull our hand off a hot object, dress when we're cold, precisely because we've noticed these temperature differences. But we do not notice the excess of humoral factors that exert a harmful effect on blood vessels, we do not notice the processes of digestion, circulation, metabolic etc. that come out of the field of consciousness.
If all this could be noticed by our consciousness, then we would act, as in the case of external factors (external environment), by voluntary control over them. We've become aware that we have HTA here we're taking a hypotensor. Consequently, the problem that arises is to make our internal events accessible to consciousness, to be able to "see" and "hear" our own organs. Once we get here, all we have to do is learn to order them. For this purpose nature has "thought" several solutions. For example, electrical impulses present in all internal organs are managed by the autonomic vegetative nervous system but which, even if autonomous, collects and converts some information that will reach the noticeable level of consciousness (sound, light, color, etc.) that will be sent to the brain in the form of appropriate "commands". This is biofeedback.
Now, from the point of view of our speech, it is good to remember the experiment of "alpha wave habit" performed on cats, presented in previous posts, which I will detail a little. Cats were connected to electrodes implanted in "chosen" areas of the brain whose arousal produced pleasure, while simultaneously tracking the appearance of brain biocurrents. Two study groups were formed. In the first, whenever a cat managed to lower its brain wave frequency to alpha rhythm it was rewarded by pleasure, sending an electrical stimulus to that center, the second group was rewarded in the same way if it raised its brain wave frequency to or even in gamma rhythm. Two groups of cats were thus obtained, some of which learned to decrease their frequency of brain waves and others that learned to grow it.
Their observation revealed different states of behavior. Cats in the first group (slow waves) were immobile while cats in the second group (with increased frequency waves) were in constant motion, agitation. Biochemical determinations revealed in animals that learned to increase the frequency of brain waves an acceleration of heart pulses and the existence of an increased titre of catecholamines in relation to the others. Hence the anxiety and the commotion. Extrapolating the conclusions of this experiment in humans we will easily understand what it means to have a method of reducing catecholamines in the blood, knowing that their presence in excess conditions anxiety, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Do not think that no experiments have been carried out on humans, confirming the similarity of functionality with cats or other "study" animals.
In conclusion, experiments carried out on humans and laboratory animals, as well as the millennial experience demonstrated by practitioners of psychosomatic training systems of oriental origin (not to mention the experience of more than 50 years of alpha and teta techniques) have demonstrated (and demonstrates) without doubt that it is possible to break the barrier between conscious and unconscious, between voluntary and involuntary. Thus, man can learn to direct the involuntary activity of the organism by converting it into a noticeable signal that allows it to bring it into the field of consciousness.
The procedure has found immediate medical applicability. Many, many people have learned to control almost any physiological process that can be become aware by some technique, succeeding in voluntary control over brain biocurrents, heart pulsations, blood vessels, variations in pupil diameter, endocrine gland secretion, digestive secretions, etc. (much more than you can imagine, including at the psychological level). It has been achieved satisfactory results in migraines, anxiety, insomnia, essential HTA, even in the malignant stage, heart rhythm disorders, muscle atrophies of central and peripheral origin and, why not mention here, diabetes, cancer and other major chronic stuff.
Under the ratio of therapeutic efficiency it must be said that biofeedback, like other methods, cannot be regarded as an absolute and universal remedy. First of all, not all people manage to master their methods as easily. But, in counterweight, animals have been found to learn much more easily than most humans. For example, it was found that the most malleable "modeling" turned out to be children, then young people, athletes and those with artistic concerns. Secondly, what I have outlined how many times I have had the opportunity comes in, that any medical intervention is only a gain since it is "offered" to the individual in order to identify and solve the problems that have attracted him that state of health.
Once "healed" and returned to the same problems, in the same environment, it is obvious that he will get sick again (even much worse because, already, his body is "perishable" or particularly permeable, "educated" to "accept and sustain" the same problems) and will stigmatize the medical effort as "stupid", "murderer", etc. regardless of the direction from which it comes (allopathic medicine, alternative, new medicine or others). So, the anathema of the disease must be thrown even on the patient who does not heal, once he has noticed that "it goes wrong under conditions X" and he has no corrective feedback (something similar to smokers or alcoholics who do not change anything that destroys them but they continue motivating their self-destruction by simply addictive justification).
But let's go back to the effects of relaxation or alpha state! The scientific validation of the state of relaxation, which corresponds psychologically to a modified consciousness and neurophysiologically to an alpha rhythm, has determined, as expected, a series of studies at the metabolic level. Entering the state of relaxation is followed within minutes by slowing heart rate and slightly lowering blood pressure. There are changes characteristic of the state of calm, well-known until now. The extension of this state beyond the usual rest is achieved only by the appropriation of concentration techniques. From the point of view of the EEC, following the "deepening" of relaxation, it is found that a simple alpha state is no longer present, because a large percentage of teta is introduced with alpha, hence the name "alpha-theta". Research to date has revealed a large margin of changes in the beneficial sense.
For example, it decreases oxygen consumption, explained by the reduction of body activity and therefore metabolism. Then, the presence of lactic acid in the blood, also explained by muscle relaxation (studies have revealed the relationship between the proportion of lactic acid in the blood and anxiety, in the sense that the higher its concentration, the more anxiety is increased). If we consider that anxiety means a state of alert. of mental and muscular tension, this relationship of direct proportionality appears to us as comprehensible. We infer from this that during this particular mental state, lowering muscle tension decreases anxiety.
Then, the modification of a series of physiological parameters advocates the idea that during states of intermediate consciousness there is an accumulation of energy through the prevalence of the parasympathetic system over the sympathetic one with the consequent decrease of catecholamines in the blood. However we interpret under physiological relation the reactions that occur in states of mental self-concentration, it remains certain that by physical rest the body benefits. And how does he still benefit...
The man of modern civilization is in a constant alert imposed by social upheathing, by the rhythm of industrial civilization that evolves faster than biological possibilities of adaptation. In the biochemical plane, this state of alert translates into continuous discharges of catecholamines as a result of the prevalent activity of the sympathetic nervous system (energy consumer) towards the parasympathetic nervous system (energy facilitator). This results in our anxiety, crunching, energy, mental and physical exhaustion.
It creates the breeding ground for diseases of which, first of all, we quote those considered to have a origin in the disturbances of the psyche, called for this reason psychosomatic diseases (ulcer, HTA, ulcerohemorrhagic rectocolitis, asthma, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, thyrotoxicosis and the list could hundreds of enumerations – this only from the limited point of view of allopathic medicine – about the others we will detail in the dozens , perhaps the hundreds, of subsequent posts – sorry, on dorinm.ro).
Even if the genesis of these diseases is more complex and not always possible to criminalize a single cause, the definite implication of the nervous system in the premature wear and tear of the organism with the negative response to the various pathogenic factors that assault us at every moment of our existence remains. The health of our body is just a victory over other elements of reality that tend to impose their own existence every moment. Diminishing our psychic strength, by disrupting what we would call internal harmony, psychological homeostasis, makes us vulnerable and turns us into victims.
In conclusion, at the above, it can be said that the state of mental relaxation is accompanied by biochemical changes that translate the accumulation of energy in the body, essential for our optimal functionality and, why not, for its reorientation where it is imperative, increasing various operating yields.
But that's enough for today! Tomorrow we'll discuss the physiology of relaxation.
