PUTTING THESE IDEAS INTO PRACTICE
Activities to practice this week:
Activities to practice this week:
Sing for at least a few minutes each day when you’re alone.
Experience water deeply. Take a walk by a body of water, enjoy a bath,
splash in a fountain. Notice the ripples and reflections.
Before you drink a glass of water, hold it to your heart and radiate blessing
toward it.
Use sound consciously. For the entire week, fast from all music other than
meditation music channels.
Write your observations of your experiences of sound and water in your
journal.
The Extended Play version of this chapter includes:

On a bright spring morning in 1892, a young German soldier named Hans
Berger was riding high. He was taking part in military exercises in the town of
Würzburg, and his unit was pulling artillery pieces into position with their
horses.
Suddenly, Berger’s horse reared up on its hind legs, throwing him to the
ground right in front of one of the wagon wheels. At the last second, Berger’s
desperate companions halted the momentum of the gun just before it crushed
him. Berger escaped death with nothing more than a dirty uniform.
That evening, he received a telegram from his father in Coburg, asking about
his well-being. His father had never sent him a telegram before. That morning,
Berger’s older sister had been “overwhelmed by an ominous feeling . . .
convinced that something terrible had happened to him” and urged her father to
send the telegram.
Berger struggled to understand how his feelings of terror might have been
communicated to his sister over 100 kilometers away. He had been planning to
become an astronomer but now changed his mind, and after his discharge from
the army, he became a psychiatrist instead, studying the workings of the brain
(Millett, 2001).
In June of 1924, he had the opportunity to study the brain of a 17-year-old boy
who had a gap in his skull as a result of an earlier surgery to remove a brain
tumor. He wanted to see if he could measure brain activity. After weeks of
modifications to his equipment in the wake of unsuccessful readings, to Berger’s
excitement, he finally observed “continuous oscillations of the galvanometer.”
He wrote in his journal: “Is it possible that I might fulfill the plan I have
cherished for over 20 years and even still, to create a kind of brain mirror: the
electroencephalogram!” (Millett, 2001).
