Title:

Studies done at Harvard

Researches

on long-time meditators also showed a degree of restfulness awareness. The key difference between the two studies was: 1. The amplitude of the brain waves was extremely high when tested on Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and even his disciples, during Kundalini energy activation. 2. All qEEG studies done at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam during Kundalini awakening showed high-amplitude waves across the spectrum. In comparison, meditators across the world showed normal amplitude of the waves. 3. The sense of calmness, well-being and thought-less-ness happens when the emotional component of a thought or memory is separated from the memory itself, thereby allowing for a reduction in the number of thoughts. The limbic system is that part of the brain which is at the junction of the mechanical or involuntary system, and the highly evolved system which is the seat of the intellect, logic and cognitive processing (neo-cortex). Meditating on the Third Eye produces all the effects of calmness, well-being and thoughtlessness, while at the same time increasing awareness and cognition through unhampered processing by the cerebral cortex, which is no longer weighed down by emotions and random thoughts. This would allow us to conclude that the ajna chakra or the Third Eye consists of the entire complex of the limbic system, starting from the infero-medial pre-frontal cortex, and involving not only all the known structures of the limbic system like the hippocampus and amygdala, but also the pineal gland and the rest of the volitional brain involved in intuition, cognition, etc. Depending on the effects manifested, different parts of the cerebral cortex would presumably be involved at different times (for instance, in blindfolded reading, the primary visual cortex would be involved
