Grief, meditation, and cannabis

6 days ago I had to put my dog and best friend of six amazing years, Sierra, to sleep because of bone cancer. I've been doing a lot to let myself experience the grief of losing her while moving through it, and I couldn't resist the temptation to record that process with the Muse S. I wanted to share...

Re: Meditation and cannabis

99% of the time high Delta is due to poor sensor contact. You can check this by looking at the variance on the RAW EEG. Ideally, you want sub 50uV variance. I hope I'm doing the quote thing right to respond... I'll double check the variance tonight, but I don't believe that's the case. I've had oth...

Re: Meditation and cannabis

Hey James, Any chance you'd be willing to speculate on why my Delta and theta are consistently so high? From research I've come across, high Delta-theta in waking states is often associated with traumatic brain injury (I've had a number of concussions over the years thanks to rugby) or the onset of ...

And a few more...


Each of these sits is 20-25 min long, back to back, with only a short break to smoke before going back in to the practice.

Re: Meditation and cannabis

Here's a few more graphs just for reference. The form of meditation I'm practicing, Centering Prayer, uses a "sacred word" as embodiment of intent to rest and release all thoughts, sensations, emotions, memories, etc. etc. in order to be fully present and receptive to the presence of God i...

Meditation and cannabis

Hey everyone, I'm a grad student studying mental health counseling and have been using the Muse S (gen2) to record my sits for a form of meditation called Centering Prayer consistently for about 4 months. I have about 90 recordings, only about half of which I would say are reliable because of defect...
