This has consequences: the newest research from Scripps Clinic (CA) indicates that an average human being, who is untrained in meditation, thinks \u2013 without even being conscious about it \u2013 1200 thoughts per minute. This is the so called \u201emonkey mind\u201c, a cloud of mental chatter that shields us from the reality around us and prevents us from entering the state of \u201eHere \u2013 Now\u201c. We could depict this cloud like this:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Calming the monkey mind<\/h3>\n<p>Research done in Stanford University (CA) indicates that compulsive thinking can be easily dissolved by rhythmic speaking over a long period of time. This was found while testing monks reciting sutras; but also our own research, conducted over more than 15 years, clearly indicates that the recitation of the TaKeTiNa syllables has the same effect. These syllables are a direct manifestation of sound and rhythm. They do not have any rational meaning and therefore the mind empties out, instead of filling up. Also, the voice gradually settles into an autonomous movement that makes it quite easy to recite those syllables over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6511 size-full\" style=\"color: #666666;font-size: 14px\" src=\"https:\/\/powerofrhythm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/monkeymind-diamonds-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powerofrhythm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/monkeymind-diamonds-1.jpg 980w, https:\/\/powerofrhythm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/monkeymind-diamonds-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/powerofrhythm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/monkeymind-diamonds-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Cultivating the courage wolves<\/h3>\n<p>Once the monkey mind has calmed down, the next arena opens up.

TaKeTiNa facilitates this by physically and mentally connecting opposing states through rhythmic processes: participants learn to be active and passive at the same time while staying in a steady step, they learn to allow step movements to happen on their own accord while voluntarily creating contrasting rhythms with their hands and with their voice.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Developing simultaneous perception<\/h3>\n<p>The key element for this is the state of \u201esimultaneous perception\u201c in which a participant of a TaKeTiNa process is able to process several different informations at the same time.
