Practice Structure

Based on Grinberg's 6-phase self-allusive meditation protocol:

PhaseDurationFocus
1. Settling2-3 minGrounding, initial awareness
2. Body Awareness4-5 minPhysical sensations, interoception
3. Emotional Field4-5 minEmotions without losing body awareness
4. Thought Awareness4-5 minObserving mental patterns
5. Unified Field4-5 minAll domains simultaneously ("high-inclusion")
6. Integration2-3 minGrounding, return

Each phase adds to previous awareness rather than replacing it. The unified field phase — holding body, emotion, thought, and environment simultaneously — is the distinctive feature.

Research Basis

Evidence level: Preliminary

Grinberg's EEG studies at UNAM suggest that self-allusive meditation may enhance interhemispheric coherence (alpha 8-12 Hz and theta 4-8 Hz synchronization). These findings are based on small sample sizes with limited independent replication. Broader meditation neuroscience provides moderate support for meditation-related EEG changes.

Quality Gates

Before output is finalized:

  • 6-phase structure followed correctly
  • Evidence levels clearly labeled
  • Grinberg properly attributed (UNAM, 1970s-1994)
  • Small sample sizes and limited replication noted
  • "Suggests" language used, never "proves"
  • Medical disclaimer present
  • Permission to stop included at every phase
  • Variations for accessibility provided

Coherence is the brain's natural state when given space. We facilitate, not force.
