The Meditation on Twin Hearts (MTH) is a core meditation in both Pranic Healing and modern Arhatic Yoga practices. This guided meditation includes components of loving-kindness, open awareness, and self-healing imagery. The changes in peak latency and peak amplitude of P300 auditory event-related potentials were studied before and after listening to the MTH.

When compared with non-meditators at baseline, experienced meditators demonstrated a significantly shorter latency
The Impact of Meditation on Twin Hearts on Psychological Functioning and Quantitative EEG: Understand its Underpinning
Meditation on Twin Hearts (MTH) is a metta meditation practiced by thousands worldwide to improve emotional regulation and cognitive function. The purpose of the study is to o evaluate the effects of MTH on subjects’ self-reported psychological functioning, P300 responses, and sLORETA patterns in specified brain regions. Twelve (12) novice and twelve (12) experienced meditators’ EEGs were collected, and assessments were conducted pre-, mid-, and post-MTH meditation.
Results showed that experienced meditators reported improved emotional regulation scores before MTH. Both groups revealed reduced anxiety and increased happiness immediately after MTH.
Experienced meditators showed increased gamma wave activation in regions related to empathy and focused attention. The novice meditators showed patterns of decreased activation. Non-meditators showed stronger P300 responses reflecting improvement in cognitive function. MTH may be a beneficial practice for both novice and experienced meditators in improving emotional regulation and cognitive functioning.
