How to Do Better Meditation for Blood Pressure

Why Muse brain sensing headset is a great complementary tool to lower blood pressure

Hello everyone,

This is a repeat of the popular video from our YouTube channel published several weeks ago. As usual you can chose between watching the 3 minute video above or checking out a short text summary below.

Key Ideas:

  1. Stress and Cardiovascular Health: Stress is a major contributor to high blood pressure and associated heart problems. It may lead to damage of blood vessels, increased blood pressure, and potential heart attacks. This establishes the need for effective stress reduction techniques.

  2. Meditation as a Solution: Meditation as scientifically proven relaxation technique to lower stress and prevent heart attacks. However, mastering meditation takes effort and skill.

  3. The Role of Technology. The Muse headband is an effective tool to aid meditation practice and track its impact on brain activity. It uses EEG sensors to measure brain waves in real-time, providing visual and auditory feedback to indicate the level of relaxation achieved. This real-time feedback designed to gamify the process, helping users to learn how to reach a meditative state.

  4. Personal Experience: I really enjoy how the Muse app presents visual and audio cues, such as sounds of waves, rain, and birdsong, that shift as brain activity changes, providing users with immediate feedback on their level of relaxation. As I use my continuous blood pressure monitor 24x7 I can see clear correlation of changes in my blood pressure with the practice of meditation. I also do a demonstration of this in the video.
