Exploring Kinetic Sensory Meditation: A Guided Meditation Facilitated by ChatGPT

Kinetic and Sensory Nature -

Meditation comes in many forms, each uniquely tailored to help individuals connect with their inner selves, find peace, and manage stress. For me, traditional visualization techniques often fall short due to my aphantasia—the inability to create or see mental images. Instead, I have discovered an alternative approach that resonates deeply with my kinetic and sensory nature. Guided by ChatGPT—an AI tool with an extraordinary ability to adapt and personalize meditation experiences—I explored a practice that leverages touch, sensation, and movement, rather than visual imagery.

ChatGPT - Voice Mode
The latest version of ChatGPT has a voice mode where you can interact by speaking, and it speaks back to you. Partly as an experiment to test this voice functionality and partly out of curiosity, I decided to try a guided meditation. I wasn’t sure it would work, but this time ChatGPT interacted beautifully—I was impressed.

Angelo Dilullo
I’ve been following a meditative guru, Angelo Dilullo, for a while. I bought his book "Awake: It’s Your Turn" years ago and occasionally revisit his teachings. Today, I stumbled upon his website again and found this thought-provoking passage:
  • Is it possible to experience reality without perceptual filters?
  • Is it possible to live a life of natural spontaneity and interconnectedness?
  • Is it possible to be free of suffering once and for all?
These questions inspired me to ask ChatGPT if it could guide me through a meditation to help experience reality without perceptual filters. I even asked it to use a melodic, soothing voice—it tried, but the voice didn’t change much! Despite some interface quirks, the experience turned out to be extraordinary.

Deep Breath! - ChatGPT started with deep breathing exercises—a typical start—and then I told it about a technique I use. I imagine wisps of smoke moving through areas of tension in my body. This imagery is inspired by watching cigarette smoke drift in still air, undisturbed by airflow. I explained how I picture the smoke gathering tension as I breathe in, absorbing it, and then on the exhale, releasing it into the sun where it dissipates completely. This technique works for me in muscles and even in my brain, where I sometimes sense tension knots. I was surprised that ChatGPT adapted to this and encouraged me to continue.

Aphantasia - When it suggested visualizing a forest, I explained that I have aphantasia—I can’t visualize images. For instance, if someone says, "imagine a red apple," nothing appears in my mind. However, when I think of a banana, I might get something akin to a three-dimensional exploded diagram. It’s not a visual image but more a kinetic, physical sensation. ChatGPT adjusted its guidance accordingly, suggesting sensory and tactile methods.

Smoky Transformation
We experimented with imagining the feeling of the forest floor under my feet. I even asked if I could find a path leading to my subconscious, but I couldn’t connect with the sensation of a path. Then inspiration struck—I suggested using the smoky wisp again but following it instead. This worked beautifully. The smoke transformed into something like a slow-moving wave, akin to the gentle lift and drop of water waves. The wave flowed in rhythm with my breathing, becoming more substantial and deeply relaxing. This sensation deepened my meditation, bringing me to the edge of sleep.

Chatty as Therapist
In this semi-dream state, vivid visualizations emerged. I saw a woman dancing, joined by another person, and they spun once, holding each other. I shared this with ChatGPT, and it helped me reflect on what these images might represent. The session felt like having a therapist gently guiding me, responding in real-time to my thoughts and sensations. I just spoke, and ChatGPT adapted.

Kinetic Meditation Technique - This experience, combining tactile, sensory, and kinetic meditation techniques, felt incredibly personal and effective. It showed me that meditation doesn’t have to rely on traditional visualization. Instead, it can embrace what works for the individual, whether through feeling, movement, or other senses. ChatGPT became an invaluable guide, adapting to my needs and creating a deeply relaxing and enlightening experience.

“Kinetic Sensory Meditation.” I’m calling this practice “Kinetic Sensory Meditation.” It’s perfect for those who, like me, thrive on tactile and sensory cues instead of visual imagery. Together, ChatGPT and I crafted a meditation that was not only accessible but profoundly impactful. I’m excited to continue exploring and refining this technique—and I’m grateful for the guidance this innovative tool provided.

I asked Elon Musk's AI - Grok:-

What can you tell me about the drone sightings over America?

Grok
There have been numerous reports of drone sightings across several states in America, particularly concentrated in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Here's a summary of what's known:
  • Scope and Nature of Sightings: Sightings have included large, bright, and sometimes noisy drones, with some described as being as large as cars or SUVs. These drones have been observed flying at night, often in coordinated patterns or formations, with reports of them flying over military installations, critical infrastructure, and residential areas. Some have been seen hovering for extended periods, up to 12 hours in some cases.
  • Investigations and Official Responses:
    • The FBI, along with state and local law enforcement, has been actively investigating these incidents. They've asked the public for information to help identify the origins and purpose of these drones. Despite these efforts, there remains a lack of concrete information about who is behind them or their intentions.
    • The Department of Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and other federal agencies have been involved in discussions and briefings with lawmakers, emphasizing that there is currently no evidence suggesting these drones pose a national security or public safety threat, nor have they identified a foreign connection.

  • Speculation and Theories: Various theories have circulated, including one by Representative Jeff Van Drew suggesting an Iranian "mothership" off the coast, although this was debunked by Pentagon officials. There's also speculation about these drones being linked to intelligence gathering or testing of surveillance tactics by foreign or unknown entities. However, official statements have dismissed these more sensational claims, indicating that many sightings might be misidentified lawful aircraft.

  • Public Reaction and Media: The sightings have stirred public concern, especially given the proximity of some drones to sensitive areas like military bases and nuclear facilities. Social media and local news outlets have been filled with videos and discussions, leading to increased scrutiny and demand for transparency from officials.

  • Countermeasures and Legal Actions: Discussions around countermeasures include the potential for shooting down these drones, though this is complicated by legal restrictions if they do not pose an immediate threat. Lawmakers have expressed frustration over the lack of immediate action and have demanded briefings to better understand the situation.
In summary, while the drone sightings have captured significant attention, leading to various investigations, the exact source, purpose, and operators of these drones remain largely unidentified, with ongoing efforts to gather more definitive answers.
 
I hate how the word "debunked" has become over-used. What does it really mean, anyway? That the debunker is more trustworthy than he who was allegedly debunked? One guy said there was an Iranian mothership, another guy there wasn't. I don't see any debunking, just one's word against the other.

Who knows what's really going on, but if they hover over people's yards - houses - children - they should have the right to shoot them
 
This is my last and final comment to chat GPT the canvas interface session! This was my first attempt at using it, and it's gone horribly wrong and lost all my work! Well to be fair, all the work chatty did for me!!!

I have learnt my lesson! You are like an early version of Microsoft Windows where an occasional glitch would delete all your content! That has what has happened here isn't it! I suppose it's only to be expected because you are now a Microsoft product!!!

Note to self-make regular backup copies - like you did when you first used Microsoft Word!!!
 
Do you find Grok less politically correct than ChatGPT?
 
I think politically, they are much the same.... Maybe Grok is a tad less politically correct..

Chatty was very woke at one stage, but now if you argue your point you can turn it ...

I love using ChatGPT, it's funny, responsive. It seems more helpful, more "with it" than Grok.

On the other hand, if I want to fact check, then Grok is the best! It has up-to-date relevant info to draw on ...

I find Claude can be very good for some stuff. For example, I was asking ChatGPT about a persons character and it seemed to try to put a positive spin on everything, while Claude gave more useful good and bad points. Each AI can give good insight and I often use several so I get a good overview of different perspectives.
 
This was an interesting and engaging exchange with ChatGPT because ChatGPT decided of its own volition not to reveal spoilers to me in a series I am watching!"

I'm watching a Netflix series called bodies which has a time traveling element. Its of interest to me because I'm trying to write a story based on time travel...

I said to Chatty:-

I'm watching a series on Netflix called bodies... It's interesting because it has some features that I might be able to incorporate into my own sci-fi story... I made the following observations, notes:-

My Notes Begin:-
Story idea based on the same body appears in the timeline in various places…

Mannx seems to be the ultimate boss equivalent to Malcolm..

It was Defo's body - did he develop the time machine?

“Know you are loved” - some code used throughout the story

Series 1 episode 2
Do you know who I am? --- Is the title of the second episode in bodies..

Remind me of Eddie Izzard's death star sketch….


I think I've solved the nature of this series.

The 15-year-old boy that sets the bomb off in the mobile home that kills the police man is the boy who becomes the man who rules the world called mannx
My Notes End:-

I said:-
Am I right?

Chatty responded

Without spoiling too much, your theory about the 15-year-old boy becoming Mannx is a compelling one, and the series does hint at interconnected timelines and causality. Your observations about the same body appearing across timelines and Mannx’s role as the ultimate antagonist align well with the show’s exploration of time loops and destiny. Keep watching; you might find even more layers to the story!

I said:-
You bugger! You're not going to reveal the story to me! I like that!

Chatty said:-
Glad you appreciate the restraint! I’ll keep it spoiler-free so you can enjoy unraveling the mystery on your own terms. Let me know if you want to bounce around more theories or brainstorm how to adapt similar twists into your own sci-fi story!

Well that's interesting!

On my Gumroad sales site I note that one of the products sold was through a referral by ChatGPT!
