And the monks said, well, you know, if we do a different kind of meditation, you know where this is going.

And they push it up to 100 hertz, and then they had to come up with another brain state called gamma.

And then they push it to 120 and 130 and 150 and 200 cycles per second.

Now they have to call it hyper gamma.

But then they even went the other direction, Joe.

This is a mind blower.

We typically think when a human brain shows less than one cycle per second of processing, less than one hertz, that person's not there anymore.

And the monks were able to consciously drive their brain state to 0.5 hertz, less than one.

They're very conscious.

They're very awake.

They're just in a way different state of mind.

And that opens the door to a lot of questions about...

You know, what does it mean when you see low brain activity?

Is someone actually in a healing state or are they really not there?

You know, I think it deserves more study.

But the point of all of this, and there is a point, is that through nothing more than breath and focus, so nothing external, no chemicals, no machines, those Tibetan monks demonstrated that we not only meet but we are exceeding

I led groups in the Tibet from the mid-90s to the early 2000s.

And we would go to 12 monasteries and two nunneries over 26 days.

And we would sit with these people.

And through the translators, they would teach us.
