IAM: Institute for Applied Meditation

High Resolution Blood Imaging

Dr. Alexander Angelov, MD, of Swampscott, MA, in his office, with Susanna Bair, President of IAM.

Using a high-resolution photo-microscope attached to a digital video camera and computer, Dr. Angelov is able to examine the clumping of red blood cells, an indication of stress.

Red blood cells normally repel each other because the membrane of each cell has a slight electrical charge of the same polarity. When the cells lose that charge under stress, the red blood cells stick together instead.


In the slide below, the red blood cells are clumped together, stacked sideways, forming long, sticky chains. This common condition is called hemagglutination and results in a reduced ability of the blood to transfer oxygen to the surrounding tissues (anemia), since the surface of each red blood cell is not exposed. The clumps of red blood cells may also be a factor in strokes.

The slide below shows the free-floating red blood cells of the same person as on the left, after only 10 minutes of Heart Rhythm Meditation (Water Breath). These cells are not stuck together; they float in multiple layers of plasma.

Stressed condition

After 10 minutes of Heart Rhythm Meditation

Under stress, when energy is needed most, the blood goes into a condition, agglutination, which causes an anemia that actually reduces energy in the body. This is not a "fight or flight" response; it does not provide the energy to flee. Instead it is an energy strike that attempts to stop one from creating more of their own stress. With Heart Rhythm Meditation, one can endure stress and still operate in a healthy condition.
