On 17 June 2005, while Swamiji was attending annual AAPI Convention in Houston, TX, Dr. Juan Acosta-Urquidi and his associate, Ann Trechak from Sound Health Designs, LLC, Wichita, KS, USA again, had the unique oppor-tunity to hook up Swamiji to an EEG machine and examine his brainwave patterns as he shifted into distinct states of consciousness.
In all his previous experience working with some very gifted subjects, Dr. Acosta had never recorded such a unique pattern of EEG mindstates.
Swamiji proved to be a dream subject as he demonstrated his mastery at switching mindstates while remaining motionless.
A representative sample of the recorded data is shown below.
The brainstate patterns are displayed as colored topo maps, showing average power values (600 sec. samples) for different brainwave frequency bands (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma).
The most striking findings were: At first glance, Baseline (eyes closed) condition pat-tern was almost indistinguishable from Medi- tation state, except for some minor differ-ences. Notice subtle changes in the localiza-tion of Theta and Alpha maximum power val-ues (hot spots), as if they swap places. The Meditation state showed slightly higher Al-pha power, which also extended into more posterior (parietal) sites. The other detect-able change was the antero-posterior edistribution of Gamma hot spots: from ini-tially frontal-central in Baseline, to focalized occipital in Meditation state.
By contrast, the Healing state showed more robust differences: Delta power increased and was very fo-calized to frontal region, and Theta and Alpha power values reversed. Note also Beta1, 2 & Gamma slightly increased compared to Baseline. These findings re-veal that Swamiji has the unique ability to remain in a near-meditative state during rest eyes closed baseline conditions, when he was deliberately not at-tempting meditation. His Healing state is character-ized by shifting into a more active and aroused con-dition, where he gains access to an energetic linkage with his client and his surroundings.
