"Meditation helps with creativity ... it's almost like TM helps creatively on a level that I can't describe ... but it's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I don't even know I'm reaping them".
Eva Mendes
Lengvai atskleiskite savo vidinį kūrybiškumą
Amerikos universiteto atliktuose pagrindiniuose moksliniuose tyrimuose nustatyta, kad Transcendentinė meditacija padidina alfa smegenų bangas. Mayo klinikoje alfa smegenų bangos apibūdinamos kaip „atsipalaidavusio, laimingo, sutelkto“ proto būsena.
Štai kodėl žmonės, kurie mokosi Transcendentinės meditacijos, dažnai sako, kad yra labiau susitelkę, kūrybingi ir produktyvūs nei bet kada anksčiau. Daugelis jų anksčiau išbandė kitas meditacijos formas. Žemiau pateiktoje diagramoje parodytas pagrindinis skirtumas tarp TM ir kitų metodų.
Didesnis smegenų aktyvumas TM dėka
Transcendentinės meditacijos programos metu, ankstyvieji (jutimo) smegenų atsako į somatosensorinius impulsus komponentai labiau išplinta visoje smegenų žievėje – tai parodo stipresnį visų smegenų atsaką į stimulą.
Pagerėjusi kraujo apytaka smegenyse
Transcendentinės meditacijos programos dalyviai, palyginus su programoje nedalyvavusiais į kontrolinę grupę atrinktais asmenimis, pasižymėjo geresne smegenų kraujotaka: tiek pakaušio, tiek priekinėje srityse.
Padidėjęs EEG suderinamumas visose smegenų žievės srityse
Po dviejų savaičių Transcendentinės meditacijos programos dalyviai pasižymėjo gerokai padidėjusiu elektroencefalogramos (EEG) suderinamumu praktikos metu, palyginus su jų pačių kontroliniais rezultatais iki jiems pradedant Transcendentinės meditacijos programą.
Padidėjęs IQ TM dėka
Universiteto studentai, kurie praktikavo Mahariši Transcendentinę meditaciją ir TM-Sidhi programą, gerokai padidino savo intelekto koeficientą, lyginant su kontrolinėje grupėje dalyvavusiais asmenimis.
Mokslas atrado nuostabų TM poveikį smegenims
Daugelyje paskelbtų mokslinių tyrimų aprašyta TM nauda smegenims, įskaitant:
- Aiškesnį mąstymą
- Pagerintą atmintį
- Pagerėjusius mokymosi gebėjimus
- Didesnį kūrybiškumą
- Padidėjusį produktyvumą
