“…The comparison of EEG changes during the shamanic state of consciousness and other spiritual or religious practices remains less clear. Previous studies have detailed increased alpha power (Abdullah and Omar, 2011 ; Al-Galal and Alshaikhli, 2017 ) and changes in relative alpha and theta power (Vaghefi et al, 2015 ) while listening to the recitation of the Quran, as well as increased approximate and sample entropy (Vaghefi et al, 2019 ). Additionally, increased absolute alpha power has been noted during catholic prayer (Barcelona et al, 2020 ), as well as increased relative alpha power during Muslim prayer (Doufesh et al, 2012 , 2014 ).…”

Psychedelics have been recognized as model interventions for studying altered states of consciousness. However, few empirical studies of the shamanic state of consciousness, which is anecdotally similar to the psychedelic state, exist. We investigated the neural correlates of shamanic trance using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in 24 shamanic practitioners and 24 healthy controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening, followed by an assessment of altered states of consciousness. EEG data were used to assess changes in absolute power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality, which were correlated with assessment measures. We also compared assessment scores to those of individuals in a previous study under the influence of psychedelics. Shamanic practitioners were significantly different from controls in several domains of altered states of consciousness, with scores comparable to or exceeding that of healthy volunteers under the influence of psychedelics. Practitioners also displayed increased gamma power during drumming that positively correlated with elementary visual alterations. Furthermore, shamanic practitioners had decreased low alpha and increased low beta connectivity during drumming and classical music and decreased neural signal diversity in the gamma band during drumming that inversely correlated with insightfulness. Finally, criticality in practitioners was increased during drumming in the low and high beta and gamma bands, with increases in the low beta band correlating with complex imagery and elementary visual alterations. These findings suggest that psychedelic drug-induced and non-pharmacologic alterations in consciousness have overlapping phenomenal traits but are distinct states of consciousness, as reflected by the unique brain-related changes during shamanic trance compared to previous literature investigating the psychedelic state.

“…However, there were several studies that found holy Quran recitation produces alpha waves that indicated someone is relaxed. Alpha waves on participants who listened to the holy Quran were higher than participants who listened to relaxation music (Al-Galal & Alshaikhli, 2017). Neurotransmitters produced by auditory nerve pathways stimulate the primary auditory nerves and limbic cortex (Hall, 2011).…”

Anxiety is a feeling of discomfort, worry about something unclear and accompanied by autonomic symptoms. Murottal Al-Quran therapy is a complementary therapy with the most widely used Al-Qur'an media. This study aims to analyze the effect of the murottal Al-Qur'an Surah Al-Mulk and Al-Hasyr on the anxiety of medical students of Universitas Sriwijaya. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a cross-sectional approach with one group pre-post test design which was conducted from July to December 2020 at homes through Zoom meeting application. Sampling using simple random sampling technique. Data in the form of primary data using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaire.Primary data were collected using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaire before and after receiving the Murottal Al-Qur'an Surah Al-Mulk and Al-Hasyr for 7 consecutive days. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test was performed on the data, then analyzed with Paired t-test or Wilcoxon test using SPSS device. The Wilcoxon test results showed significant results of murottal Al-Qur'an Surah Al-Mulk and Al-Hasyr on anxiety (p = 0.000) in medical students. There is an effect of murottal Al-Qur’an surah Al-Mulk and Al-Hasyr on anxiety among medical students of Universitas Sriwijaya.

“…Jadi untuk artikel ini tidak ada perbedaan hasil antara mendengarkan Al-Quran dan music rileksasi. 13 Quran is Allah's words that are ultimately given to us human to benefit of. Although, Muslims are strongly believed that listening to Quran or reading it brings them to comfort, pleasure and confidence.…”

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Murottal adalah pembacaan Al-Quran yang sesuai dengan tajwidnya ditambah dengan tartil (perlahan, tidak tergesa-gesa dengan mahraj yang jelas dan benar) dan dilagukan berdasar atas ilmu nagham. Sama halnya dengan terapi musik, banyak penelitian sebelumnya yang membuktikan bahwa salah satu efek Murottal Al-Quran adalah dapat menurunkan tingkat stres. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh murottal Al-Quran terhadap tingkat stres orang dewasa. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode scoping review yang merupakan pencarian data melalui penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya dengan memfiltrasi penelitian-penelitian tersebut berdasar atas PICOS: Population, Intereention, Clontrol and Study. Pada penelitian ini, artikel-artikel yang di-review berasal dari jurnal nasional dan internasional yang berkaitan dengan pengaruh murottal Al-Quran terhadap stres. Berasal dari negara Malaysia dengan jumlah total artikel sebanyak 3 dan menggunakan dua database: Google Scholar dan Pubmed. Hasil scoping review ini menunjukkan bahwa mendengarkan murottal Al-Quran dapat menurunkan tingkat stres yang ditandai dengan penurunan hormon stres dan peningkatan gelombang alfa otak. Dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa terdapat pengaruh murottal Al-Quran terhadap tingkat stres. Scoping Review: the Effect of Listening to Murottal Al-Quran on the Stress Level of Adults Murottal is the recitation of the Quran according to its tajwid coupled with tartil (slowly, not in a hurry with clear and correct mahraj) and is chanted based on the study of nagham. The same with music therapy, many previous studies have shown that one of the effects of Murottal Al-Quran is reducing stress levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the murottal Al-Quran on the stress level of adults. This research was conducted using scoping review method, which is the search for data through previous studies by filtering these studies based on PICOS: Population, Intervention, Control and Study. In this study, the articles reviewed was chosen from national and international journals related to the influence of Murottal Al-Quran on stress. These articles are from Malaysia with a total of 4 articles, using two databases: Google Scholar and Pubmed. The results of this scoping review shown that listening to murottal Al-Quran reduces stress level characterized by the decrease in stress hormone and the increase in brain alpha waves. Therefore, it can be that there is influence of murottal Al-Quran on stress.
