1 GIANT MIND...

1 Giant Mind is a non-profit organization dedicated to the research and education of the effects of collective ‘eyes-closed silence’.

Eyes Closed Silence (ECS)

The term ‘Eyes Closed Silence’ (ECS) refers to any mental process including most common practices of meditation, prayer, observance of the breath, and contemplation that induces a set of integrated psychophysiological changes termed as the ‘relaxation response’.

Physiological Changes observed to varying degrees in the relaxation response are:
  • Increased blood flow to the brain
  • Increased Alpha brain wave activity
  • Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Lowered heart rate
  • Muscle relaxation

Psychological changes observed to varying degrees in the relaxation response are:
  • Increased awareness
  • Increased attention
  • Increased clarity and perception
  • Lowered anxiety
  • Experience of being calm and internally still
  • Experience of feeling connected
  • Experience of feeling deeply rested whilst remaining awake.
