Understanding and Analyzing Meditative Practices and the Creation of the DNA|Sound Pattern Project

“Meditation is the secret door to your genome.”

First, we’d like to explain why we “bombarded” you with terminology and detailed descriptions of DNA and brain mechanisms instead of condensing everything into a single page—which, unfortunately, is more appealing in today’s world than a lengthy text.

We love you and want you to hear us and have the tools to create an improved version of yourself. Understanding how the brain and the body as a whole work—both on a physical level (biochemistry, electrical currents, or bio-currents) and a cognitive one (meditation, imagination, fantasies)—plays a crucial role in forming new neural connections that directly impact our lives, which is the very purpose of our project.

What challenges do we face during meditation?

1. The thing is, our brain is a “machine for adaptation,” and it gets used to any repetitive stimuli, including meditative practices. Over time, the same meditation may stop producing the same effect, and we need to try new techniques. Some people understand this and start looking for something new, while others enter a stage of denying any practical benefits from these practices (here’s an article on this topic).
2. Psychological fatigue from monotony. Repetition reduces motivation: the brain starts to “get bored” and lose focus, which in turn disrupts concentration—essentially destroying the image we use for meditation. If this happens, it’s okay to stop the meditation—continuing makes no sense.
3. Another challenge lies in the image itself that we use. If the image is vague—like the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls or a specific frequency (say, 347 Hz) promising miraculous healing—our brain doesn’t understand what is expected of it (remember the broad brushstrokes on the canvas of consciousness at the beginning of our journey?). And when the brain doesn’t understand, it gets bored again, distracting us with useless internal chatter, and the meditation stops working. We return to the point where we started.
4. The internal dialogue that disrupts our focus. What happens? Cognitive overload occurs—the inner dialogue occupies the brain’s “working memory,” leaving less space for the current task. As a result, fewer resources remain for deep meditation, which affects its quality.

What happens in this moment?

• Cortisol (the stress hormone) decreases, while serotonin and dopamine (the happiness hormones) are produced more actively.
• The heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, which positively reduces anxiety.
• Meditation also improves concentration and emotional regulation, minimizing intrusive thoughts and rumination (a key factor in depression).

Let’s make sure we understand each other correctly.

I’d like to clarify what we mean by “meditation,” as there are many interpretations, and it’s important for you to grasp our perspective as precisely as possible.

So, meditation is the practice of focusing attention—on breathing, sounds, smells, visual objects, mantra repetition, etc.—to achieve mental stillness and relaxation.

«It’s important to understand! When you visualize or meditate—mentally tracing the path from external input to gene expression—your brain activates the same neural networks as it would during real-life actions. For example, visualizing movement can engage the motor cortex, which is beneficial for athletes or people recovering from injuries. This strengthens existing connections and helps create new ones.»

Whether you stay with us or continue your journey independently, please internalize this information:

1. The Physical Principle—the process we analyzed using the example of stepping over a curb. This also includes any physical habits: how you put on clothes, arrange objects at home, how you hold a cup, and so on. You can experiment, for instance, with your house keys. Come up with a new, unusual spot where you’ll place them as soon as you get home. How long do you think it will take to rewire your neural networks and make the action automatic?!
2. Cognitive Processes—when the formation of new neural networks is linked to neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change and adapt based on experience, thoughts, and external stimuli. We’ve already explored the first scenario and can envision the entire pathway: from receiving an external signal to the brain’s decision to activate the necessary gene for synthesizing the substances required to complete the task. Now, let’s delve into the second one—because that’s what our DNA|Sound Pattern project is all about.

“Important: Internal dialogue is not the enemy. It’s a tool that often just runs in the background without permission. The goal isn’t to suppress it but to learn how to direct attention.”

Finding a Solution

As we mentioned at the beginning of our discussion, we aimed to solve the problem of precise, brain-friendly imagery. It was also crucial to ensure that, over time, meditative practices wouldn’t “return us to square one.” At the same time, we worked on overcoming the challenges of maintaining focus on the chosen image.

After exploring every meditation technique we could find and personally experiencing all the issues described above, we deconstructed them piece by piece. This led us to one inevitable conclusion: the only system containing the clearest and most comprehensible imagery for the nervous system is DNA (you can read more about DNA here). Here’s why:

• DNA encompasses all physical and cognitive processes, which we can selectively activate through genes.
• It eliminates adaptation fatigue by offering a selection of over 20,000 genes, while monotony is avoided through the ability to approach the same task from different angles.
• It provides a sharp, unambiguous image in the form of a nucleotide sequence—easy to work with and instantly recognizable to the brain.

We had already figured out the exact approach. Now, a few tasks remained: technically creating a product that would allow us, through the sensory system, to give the brain a clear task—specifying what exactly was required of it—as well as the task of stopping the internal dialogue. The transfer of nucleotide sequence information from DNA could be expressed either graphically or auditorily. Through deep analysis, we concluded that entering the sensory system through sound had the following advantages:

• Audio (especially through headphones) creates an immersive effect, helping to maintain attention longer.
• Auditory memory is more developed in many people.
• It can be combined with physical activity (running, driving, cleaning), while the visual channel remains free, partially solving the problem of intrusive thoughts.
• Music and sound effects directly influence the limbic system (the emotional center).

Thus, the modulated sound pattern of nucleotide sequences of a single gene—DSP|Set—was born. Among other things, audio excels in emotionality, convenience, multitasking, and natural compatibility with the brain, but the maximum effect comes from combining channels. This led to the creation of the DSP|Video Set, a product that combines sound patterns with visual (video) accompaniment to divert attention (consciousness) from intrusive thoughts that interfere with deep meditation.
