| Kathy’s scans: Take a look at Kathy’s before meditation brain scan in Figure 10.9 . These delta-to-theta ratio measurements represent her ability to maintain focus and concentration in order to process and deal with intrusive and extraneous thoughts. The first arrow in the back of her brain on the right side, where the larger red spot is located, shows that she is seeing pictures in her mind. The second arrow, near the smaller red area on the left side, indicates that Kathy is internally talking to herself about those pictures. The imagery and constant mind chatter are causing her brain to be stuck in a loop. In the after meditation scan, taken at the end of the workshop, you can clearly see that Kathy’s brain is more balanced, more whole, and more normal. She no longer has any brain chatter, because her brain is integrating and processing information more efficiently. She’s in a state of coherence. And the change in her brain state is accompanied by much greater joy, clarity, and love. Now let’s look at her coherence measurements in Figure 10.10 . At the beginning of the workshop, Kathy’s brain was in high-range beta, a state of high arousal, high analysis, and high-emergency mode. The thick red lines in alpha and beta show that she’s three SD above normal. Her brain is hyperactive, out of balance, and highly incoherent—and she’s having trouble controlling her anxiety. Now take a look at the after meditation scan, taken on the last day of 239 the February event. You should, by now, be able to recognize a more normal and balanced brain, which has much fewer high-range beta brainwaves and far more coherence. Kathy still had some work to do, so we setup an experiment after the workshop, because she lives in the Phoenix area and could visit Dr. Fannin’s clinic. Dr. Fannin showed her a picture of a healthy, balanced, and normal brain on a QEEG scan (in green) and told her that this was where she needed to focus her attention. He suggested that when she moved into anew state of being everyday in her meditation, she should select that potential outcome for the next 29 days. Since she then could assign more meaning to the placebo, she held a greater degree of intention about the benefits of the outcome. It worked. If you look at Figure 10.11 , which shows the scan dated April, 2013, about six weeks later, you’ll see an even more normal brain, with no evidence of anxiety (seen in red. In addition, checkout Figure Can you seethe progression from February 20, 2013, where Kathy’s brain scan is red in the higher brainwave frequencies (21 to 30 Hz, to the end of the February event, where her brain scan has changed to green in the second image (and so is much more normal The red areas represented show very high levels of anxiety (high-range beta) and over-analysis because her brainwaves in the higher frequencies (21 to 30 Hz) are hyperactive—her brain was working too hard. By the beginning of April (shown in Figure 10.13 ), Kathy’s brain is balanced, coherent, and much more synchronized. Kathy has a much different brain today and reports truly feeling like a different person. Kathy’s new self: Kathy reports that she has seen numerous positive changes in her career, her daily life, and her relationships. She meditates daily, and when she thinks she doesn’t have time to meditate, that’s when she makes sure to find the time to do it. She understands that the attitude that created her out-of-balance mind and brain is related to time and the conditions in her external environment. Kathy says that the answers to her questions come more easily and with far less of a struggle. She listens to her heart more often, and she catches herself before she moves into cycles of vigilance. She rarely gets caught up in those loops, and she finds herself acting in a kinder and more patient manner. Kathy is happier from the inside out.
