Summary

In this episode, Mark is joined by Dr. Jeffrey Tarrant—a licensed psychologist and founder of the NeuroMeditation Institute—joins me to explore how meditation can be used not just for relaxation, but for targeted brain rewiring. We dive into the four styles of NeuroMeditation, the science behind altering brainwave states, and how mindfulness can be tailored to treat anxiety, trauma, and even enhance spiritual connection. Dr. Tarrant unpacks what’s actually happening in the brain when we meditate, why some practices backfire, and how to know which approach is right for you. If you’ve ever felt like meditation “isn’t working,” this episode might change everything.

Dr. Jeff Tarrant is a pioneering neuroscientist, licensed psychologist, and leading expert in consciousness research, specializing in the intersection of meditation, brainwave technology, and intuitive abilities. As the founder and director of the NeuroMeditation Institute and Psychic Mind Science in Eugene, OR, he explores how meditative states and technology-based interventions can enhance mental health, cognitive function, and psychic awareness. Board-certified in neurofeedback, his research focuses on the brainwave patterns linked to contemplative practices, altered states, and psi-related phenomena. He is the author of Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain and Becoming Psychic, and his groundbreaking work has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The Huffington Post, Coast-to-Coast AM, and in the New York Times bestseller The Light Between Us. His latest project, The Telepathy Tapes, investigates the science behind telepathic communication.
