Shutting down the Default Mode Network: the new science of nondualism and meditation healing

I was looking up the music meditation magic videos on youtube. It's quite inspiring to see so many different music meditation magic metaphysic videos. Most of them are the New Age stuff - either bianural meditation or 432 Hertz cult stuff. But a few fascinating vids to be sure.

This Music and Magic youtube channel posted a lecture by Gary Weber about science studies on meditation.

So in comparative analysis of meditation and psychedelics - it's found that the default PCC is shut down - and then an increased sense of awareness occurs through the anterior cingulate gyrus.

He describes this as going from "blah, blah, blah, blah" to " awareness, awareness, awareness."

Now we are talking about mindfulness meditation which is still just on a more minor level.

Then we get into this yogic meditation healing documentary in India

Meditation The Film : The Science and Spirituality of Meditation

So good stuff there. One of the doctors cited - Frederick Rick Hect MD has an hour vid on meditation health benefits.

 The problem with this mainstream science meditation info is it does not get into the ecological and social justice crisis.

In other words Western civilization can use meditation - but what is the cause of the problem? Or in other words what is the secret of meditation that makes it different from Western civilization?

The secret is the noncommutative complementary opposites natural resonance .

Cytokine genes of inflammatory response are lowered in their expression.

Then the doc goes to Norway:

Abstract

Integrative medicine (IM) approaches have gained significant interest in recent years to provide a solution for the health care challenges we face today. Yogic cognitive-behavioral practices are among the most widely used IM approaches and include diverse practices such as yoga asanas, meditation, breathing exercises, Qi Gong, Tai Chi Chih, and various others. Studies to date suggest that these yogic/meditative practices have significant positive effects on the mind-body system and thereby can increase wellness and support the healing process from disease. Previous work has provided evidence for both psychological and physiological effects of these practices; however, the mechanisms of these effects, especially at the molecular level, have largely been missing. Three recent studies started to provide some of this information through gene expression profiling in circulating immune cells, which support the hypothesis that yogic/meditative practices have a measurable effect at the molecular level. These studies are reviewed herein and some future perspectives are considered.

4 times more genes affected by yogic meditation then just light exercise/relaxation.

Google Scholar turns up almost 700,000 research documents on meditation, among them imaging studies that show increased activity in brain regions associated with attention, a higher volume of grey matter, and lessened amygdala response to emotional stimuli.
