using a word about Qigong and without doing a Qigong movement. Dr Mayer’s energy psychology
approach will be applied to anxiety, chronic pain, hypertension, etc. You’ll learn how an integration of
Western psychotherapeutic, behavioral healthcare methods and Qigong… a leading-edge energy
psychology… can help to heal a variety of physical and psychological disorders. Case examples from Dr

method are integrated in practice.

Presentation: Using mind-wandering to assess the impact of meditation on
mindfulness
This talk will examine the relationship between meditation practice and mind-wandering- the tendency for
thoughts to drift away from the ongoing task. I will discuss both intervention studies examining the impact
of meditation training on mind-wandering, and correlational studies investigating the relationship between
mind-wandering and self-report measures of mindfulness.
Many contemplative traditions believe that meditation encourages the development of mindfulness which
entails enhanced awareness of one current state. Although mindfulness questionnaires have been
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d1eb6e90-677e-465f-8b23-b4c3d09cd6af.doc Page 10 of 15
developed little research to date there are no established behavioral measures of mindfulness. This talk
will describe recent research examining the relationship between meditation practice and mind-
wandering- the tendency for thoughts to drift away from the ongoing task. Several strands of research
will be reviewed including both intervention studies examining the impact of meditation training on mind
wandering, and correlational studies investigating the relationship between mind wandering and self-
report measures of mindfulness.

What inner experiences are associated with high amplitudes of high frequency
brainwaves (40 Hz, gamma band) from the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is the ajna, or third eye
region? How do meditation practices impact the production of this gamma band and the resulting
experience of healing states? A study comparing advanced meditators and nonmeditators showed that
both groups could produce gamma brainwaves from this region, but that meditators had much greater
ease in doing so. In additional to practices such as meditation and qigong, it is possible that gamma
neurofeedback training may help people access or train these states.
