A planned study will test whether Cyclic Meditation (CM) can boost workplace creativity in corporate managers more than supine rest. Sixty managers will be randomly assigned to either 35-minute daily CM sessions or supine rest for 12 weeks. Creativity will be measured before and after with the Alternative Uses Task and a creativity capacity questionnaire, while EEG tracks brain activity. The authors expect the CM group to show greater improvements in creativity scores and different EEG patterns. If confirmed, CM could become a practical tool for corporate wellness programs aimed at enhancing innovation and resilience.
A twelve-week guided moving meditation program altered brain activity and improved creative thinking in adult male agri-entrepreneurs. Compared with a supine rest control group, those who practiced guided moving meditation showed reduced slow-wave brain activity (delta, theta, alpha) and increased fast-wave activity (beta, gamma) in frontotemporal regions, along with changes in neural coordination between brain areas. Behavioral tests revealed significant gains in fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration of ideas. The findings suggest that guided moving meditation fosters a neurophysiological state of altered neural coordination and cognitive flexibility relevant to creative cognition.
