The Superhuman Brains of High-Level Meditators

I'm a big fan of meditation. Being a CEO is stressful – and state control is an important tool in my arsenal. 

I've previously written articles on two tools I rely on to help me meditate – Muse and Holosync

And it's not just me … Joe Polish did an interview with Russell Simmons on the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, there are several other successful entrepreneurs that swear by daily meditation, and studies show a difference between the brains of people who meditate and people who don't

But what about expert-level meditators? The ones that have put more than 10,000 hours in. The ones that don't just use it as a tool, but as a necessary part of their day. 

Turns out, they literally think differently – their brainwaves show gamma waves all the time as a lasting trait just no matter what they’re doing. It’s not a state effect, it’s not during their meditation alone, but their everyday state of mind. 

Check it out.

I like several guided meditation apps.

 

In addition, I like these too.

  • Focus@Will (background music for different moods)
  • Brain.FM (AI created music to enhance focus, relaxation, meditation, naps & sleep)
  • Meditation Music (5-minute songs, inhale at the bell, exhale at the next bell … repeat)
  • Zen Wellness (courses about meditation, Qi Gong, etc.)
  • Muse (brain sensing headband and app to help you know whether you are relaxing)

 

I also recommend 40 Years of Zen.  This is a 5-day program that leverages neurofeedback technology and guidance to help you unlock and expand your potential.

Lots of cool stuff here!

Onwards!
