Plant Melody Enhances Analog Astronaut Training with Plant Meditation and Music
The Proven Benefits of Plant Meditation with Music for Analog Astronauts
In a recent groundbreaking study, combining plant meditation and specifically composed musical frequencies has significantly reduced stress levels during analog astronaut training preparation.
What are Astronaut Analog Missions?
Astronaut analog missions are Earth-based simulations that replicate the conditions and challenges of space missions. These missions help researchers and astronauts prepare for the unique demands of space travel, including habitat management, life support systems, and sustainable food production. Additionally, Plant Melody Protocols are now integrated into the testing process in many analog training centers. Most of the world's largest analog habitats incorporate real procedures from NASA and ESA, and our Plant Meditation procedure is now part of their curriculum.
The Role of Plants in Space Missions
Plants play a crucial role in long-duration space missions. They provide food, oxygen, and psychological benefits to astronauts. The psychological benefits of the human-plant connection are profound, offering comfort, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being.
Study Overview
The study took place at two major analog research stations: LunAres in Poland and Astroland in Spain. These centers are known for their extreme conditions, which replicate the mental challenges of space travel.
LunAres is particularly intense, with astronauts completely isolated from the outside world and deprived of access to nature. This confinement induces significant stress and anxiety, providing a true test of mental endurance. Participants engage in hyper-realistic activities such as cosmic walks and sample collection, adding to the stress.
Astroland, located in a deep cave that simulates the Martian environment, also emphasizes isolation and confinement, contributing to the psychological strain experienced by the astronauts. Plant melody was actively included in creating meditation procedures here, with our founder, Dr Michal Mos, participating in that mission. The missions are highly realistic, further increasing the stress levels.
Both stations found that plant meditation significantly helps participants overcome anxiety, highlighting the importance of mental health strategies in analog space missions.
Remarkable results from the study were astounding
Reduced
Stress Levels
The introduction of plants, along with dedicated musical frequencies and daily plant meditation, significantly lowered the blood pressure and heart rates of astronauts in training.
Enhanced
Well-being
Analog astronauts developed nurturing bonds with the plants and reported feeling more grounded compared to those who did not participate in plant meditation and music.
Positive Impact:
Meditating twice daily to Plant Melody compositions had a marked positive impact on the astronauts' overall well-being.
Specially Composed Plant Melody Frequencies
The trial used specially composed ‘Plant Melody’ frequencies, scientifically proven to act as ‘acoustic nourishment’ for both plants and people. The frequencies included a grounding and a focus-enhancing composition.
Tested Plants and Music
Expert Insights
According to Michal Mos, co-creator of Plant Melody, the bond between people and plants was incredibly strong during these missions. He said:
The plant music meditation sessions were the best parts of the day for everyone we tested.
Exciting News!
We are excited to announce that we have recently started to get involved in analog space missions with the Jordan Space Research Initiative (JSRI). This collaboration aims to test and refine our Plant Melody Protocols in simulated space environments, contributing to the preparation of future astronauts.
We’re on a mission to support your Analog Space Mission or any other project that involves extreme environmental conditions, especially including long periods of isolation.
Join Our Green Revolution
Plant Melody results from a unique collaboration between a composer and a plant scientist. The creators, Marta Kluba and Dr. Michal Mos, aimed to create revolutionary meditative music to nourish both you and your plants.
The Plant Melody Team is open to collaborations with all analog habitats with varying degrees of isolation or environmental stress. We’re here to help improve the conditions of analog space missions, one Plant Meditation at a time.
