"Scientific research shows that these primordial rhythmic sound vibrations do have a direct effect on brain activity. Steady beats at 4-7 cycles per second generate theta brain wave states associated with ecstatic trance. In the theta state, beta (or waking) mind activity is lowered, inducing heightened awareness. We become spirit sensitive; receptive, intuitive, present and centered in our heart's intelligence. The trance state can be likened to a waking dream. Inner visions may reveal themselves. Self-realizations and deep insights may surface. Or, we may simply feel a renewed lightness of spirit, clarity, and joy."
- Liquid Bloom, The Shaman's Eye
When I practice taijiquan, one my favorite audio recordings to listen to is:
The Shaman's Eye: Healing Rhythms for Trance Meditation. By Liquid Bloom. 67:19 minutes. Boulder, Colorado, White Swan Records, WS007. ISBN: 1714700702.
Do you have some music you would like to recommend?
