One of the properties of synergetics describes the phenomenon that the behaviour of whole systems is

unpredictable from the behaviour of the parts taken separately.

Two examples of unpredicted, but not unexpected, results are below.

"Anyone who plays a musical instrument knows that playing under testing or performance conditions is one of

the most nervewracking experiences one can face. I was forced to confront such a situation in my practical piano

exam. In previous exams, I was overcome by anxiety which often lead to mistakes and sometimes a more superficial

treatement of the music. However, my experience in the SYRF Systems dynamic synergetic meditiation club

changed this. Before this piano exam I underwent a slow meditation process using DSM, slowing my breathing,

and calming my body. This calmed my nerves as I went into the examination room. This initial meditation, coupled

with several short meditations preceding each piece, drastically changed the overall effect of my exam. I found myself

much more engaged in the music, and hence, played the pieces with a greater passion that up to that point I did not

know I possessed."

IB1 (grade 11) student

“I practiced DSM before my English oral exam this past December (I often get nervous before presentations and

I found that the meditation relaxed me and improved the quality of my presentation because it was more continuous

and less chopped up by pauses). In general meditating has worked well for me as a way to relax before important events.”
