Why Try Meditating Outside

Meditating outdoors? Does it really matter where you meditate? I think it can. For some of us
being outside makes for not just a different meditation experience
but a more profound one. There are some good reasons for this.
perhaps meditating in a quiet room with no sounds and nothing to distract is the easiest way
especially for beginners. It's hard enough to quiet your mind without constant input from your surroundings. On the other hand
life is constant input
so if you want the peacefulness that comes from meditation to enter your life beyond your practice
perhaps learning to meditate despite surrounding sounds and movement is just what you need.
Meditating Outdoors
There's a high bank on a river where I lived years ago. It was a five-minute walk from the house. There's a level grassy spot at the top
looking down on the water fifty feet below. That is where I would go to sit. Often there was a breeze I could feel on my skin and hear in the surrounding trees. I also heard the water as it strained through some dead trees near the river bank. I smelled the dirt around me
and the odor of fish coming up from the water.
Meditating there wasn't only pleasurable because of the environment
but also different from meditating in the silence of my home. There was more of a sense of experiencing the world without thought
without over-analyzing. Why? Perhaps simply because there was more to experience. There were the sounds
which included birds
and the occasional splashing of some animal in the river. There were things to smell and the feel of the grass.
I usually close my eyes when I meditate
because I am a very visually-oriented person
and find it easier to meditate this way. When I finished my meditation by the river
I would open my eyes
of course
but what I saw was always different from what was there when I started. Of course it was the same
but I was seeing it differently
as if for the first time. While difficult to explain
this is easy to recognize if you have had the experience.
It's wonderful to look around as if seeing for the first time. You are seeing without preconception. I might see a deer on the opposite bank of the river
but the thought "deer" wouldn't cross my mind
meaning it wouldn't cloud my vision with any ideas about what a deer is or should be. The sounds and sensations were also "new." I think this more direct experience of life is a profound demonstration of how much we normally "live" through our thoughts
somewhat detached from reality.
If you haven't already tried it
why not get outside for your next meditation? Sit on a hill or in front of a garden
or try standing in front of a lake or pond when you meditate. The view will be wonderful when you open your eyes. There is nothing quite like meditating outdoors.

What is meditation - how to meditate
Posted by
Best-Product
Meditation is a group of mental training techniques .You can use meditation to improve mental health and capacities
and also to help improve the physical health. Some of these techniques are very simple
so you can learn them from a book or an article; others require guidance by a qualified meditation teacher.
WHAT IS MEDITATION
Most techniques called meditation include these components:
1. You sit or lie in a relaxed position.
2. You breathe regularly. You breathe in deep enough to get enough oxygen. When you breathe out
you relax your muscles so that your lungs are well emptied
but without straining.
3. You stop thinking about everyday problems and matters.
4. You concentrate your thoughts upon some sound
some word you repeat
some image
some abstract concept or some feeling. Your whole attention should be pointed at the object you have chosen to concentrate upon.
5. If some foreign thoughts creep in
you just stop this foreign thought
and go back to the object of meditation.
The different meditation techniques differ according to the degree of concentration
and how foreign thoughts are handled. By some techniques
the objective is to concentrate so intensely that no foreign thoughts occur at all.
In other techniques
the concentration is more relaxed so that foreign thoughts easily pop up. When these foreign thoughts are discovered
one stops these and goes back to the pure meditation in a relaxed manner. Thoughts coming up
will often be about things you have forgotten or suppressed
and allow you to rediscover hidden memory material. This rediscovery will have a psychotherapeutic effect.
THE EFFECTS OF MEDITATION
Meditation has the following effects:
1. Meditation will give you rest and recreation.
2. You learn to relax.
3. You learn to concentrate better on problem solving.
4. Meditation often has a good effect upon the blood pressure.
5. Meditation has beneficial effects upon inner body processes
like circulation
respiration and digestion.
6. Regular meditation will have a psychotherapeutically effect.
7. Regular meditation will facilitate the immune system.
8. Meditation is usually pleacent.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYPNOSIS AND MEDITATION
Hypnosis may have some of the same relaxing and psychotherapeutic effects as meditation. However
when you meditate you are in control yourself; by hypnosis you let some other person or some mechanical device control you. Also hypnosis will not have a training effect upon the ability to concentrate.
A SIMPLE FORM OF MEDITATION
Here is a simple form of meditation:
1. Sit in a good chair in a comfortable position.
2. Relax all your muscles as well as you can.
3. Stop thinking about anything
or at least try not to think about anything.
4. Breath out
relaxing all the muscles in your breathing apparatus.
5. Repeat the following in 10 - 20 minutes:
-- Breath in so deep that you feel you get enough oxygen.
-- Breath out
relaxing your chest and diaphragm completely.
-- Every time you breathe out
think the word "one" or another simple word inside yourself. You should think the word in a prolonged manner
and so that you hear it inside you
but you should try to avoid using your mouth or voice.
6. If foreign thoughts come in
just stop these thoughts in a relaxed manner
and keep on concentrating upon the breathing and the word you repeat.
As you proceed through this meditation
you should feel steadily more relaxed in your mind and body
feel that you breathe steadily more effectively
and that the blood circulation throughout your body gets more efficient. You may also feel an increasing mental pleasure throughout the meditation.
THE EFFECTS OF MEDITATION UPON DISEASES
As any kind of training
meditation may be exaggerated so that you get tired and worn out. Therefore you should not meditate so long or so concentrated that you feel tired or mentally emptied.
Meditation may sometimes give problems for people suffering from mental diseases
epilepsy
serious heart problems or neurological diseases. On the other hand
meditation may be of help in the treatment of these and other conditions.
People suffering from such conditions should check out what effects the different kinds of meditation have on their own kind of health problems
before beginning to practise meditation
and be cautious if they choose to begin to meditate. It may be wise to learn meditation from an experienced teacher
psychologist or health worker that use meditation as a treatment module for the actual disease.

Transcendental Meditation
Posted by
Best-Product
Since 1958
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has trained more than 40
0
teachers in the practice of Transcendental Meditation or TM. These teachers have taught more than six million people worldwide this simple
natural procedure which allows its practitioners to gain deep rest and contact their inner reservoir of creativity
energy and intelligence. This information comes from the official Transcendental Meditation website at www.tm.org.
What happens during meditation
During the practice of TM
the mind and body experience a unique state of restful alertness. As the mind becomes more silent
the body becomes deeply relaxed. At the most settled state of awareness
the mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form of awareness
Transcendental Consciousness. Hundreds of scientific studies have shown that experiencing this state correlates with greater creativity
improved learning
higher IQ
better grades
higher moral reasoning
increased brain wave coherence and improved neurological functioning of the body.
Practicing TM helps develops increased energy
creativity and intelligence. This in turn helps awaken the unlimited potential of the meditator's mind and body. The result is that those who practice TM enjoy greater health
happiness and success in all aspects of life.
How to meditate
Anyone can learn how to meditate. No special lessons
books or equipment are required. People of all ages
cultures and educational backgrounds can practice TM.
TM is an easy and enjoyable experience that takes only 20 minutes twice a day. You can do it alone or with others in a group. Pick a time and place where you will not be disturbed. Then just sit comfortably with your eyes closed. No effort
no concentration
no special skills nor change of lifestyle are required. Thoughts will enter and leave your mind as you meditate. Attend to them or not as you choose.
People can benefit from TM even if they don't believe it will work. Try meditating regularly for 20 minutes twice a day and you will start to see results in the form of improvements in your life.
Back in the 1960's when TM first became popular in the United States
practitioners were known to chant "OM" or another single syllable sound while they meditated. This is no longer considered necessary
though it can be done if desired. Most people now meditate silently.
The benefits of TM
Practitioners of transcendental meditation start noticing positive changes in their lives within a few days or weeks after they start meditating. These benefits include clearer thinking
improved memory
enhanced creativity and sharper intellect. These changes can enable people to achieve more in their work by becoming more creative and effective without having to work harder. Other people have said they feel healthier
more rested and relaxed
and have increased immunity to disease
reduction of aging effects and greater energy and vitality after starting to meditate.
TM can even help in relationships with others. It can help you enjoy closer friendships
become calmer and more self-confident and feel less anxious and stressed out. By radiating this increased harmony and lack of stress to the outside world
TM may even contribute to world peace.
The Maharishi teaches that by practicing Transcendental Meditation regularly
you can choose what you want to be and begin to achieve that goal. Why not try practicing TM now and see how your life improves?

My heart is in harmony with my mind. My mind is in harmony with my chi. My chi is in harmony with my power.
There are intrinsic harmonies between certain parts of the body. Your hands are in harmony with your feet. Your elbows are in harmony with your knees. And your shoulders are in harmony with your hips. As you continue to train the warrior's way
you will begin to find all the muscles and joints in your body working in harmony
giving you a strength and endurance you've probably never felt before. The Shaolin Workout trains your body from head to toe. No single muscle or limb can be anywhere near as strong as when all your muscles work together.
These physical harmonies reflect spiritual and mental harmonies: Your heart is in harmony with your mind. Your mind is in harmony with your chi. Your chi is in harmony with your power.
These are inseparable relationships. You can't separate your heart from your mind
or your mind from your body. The physical and the mental are linked. When your body is weak and tired
so is your mind. When your body falls asleep
your mind stops working
too. And by the same token
if you exhaust your mind
your body will be exhausted
too. If you're thinking and worrying so much at night that you can't rest
the next day your body will have no chi. You'll be doing your workout Sleeping Style!
That is why we relax both our bodies and our minds. We want flexible minds in flexible bodies.
If you find yourself getting stressed-out today -- at your desk at work
in a long line at the supermarket
wherever it is -- take a moment to relax. If your mind is stressed
your body tenses. You feel the muscles in your neck tighten
and your shoulders hunching. Your chest constricts
and you can't breathe right. You can give yourself a headache or stomachache.
When you're tense
you can't celebrate your beautiful life. Loosen up. Relax your body and your mind. Stand up from your desk and do your neck stretches and shoulder rotations. Or do them standing right there in that supermarket line. Who cares if other people are watching? Untense those muscles
and you'll relieve some of the mental stress as well. It's not magic or mumbo jumbo. It's your body and mind working in harmony. And now that you're relaxed
you'll see how much easier it is to get through the task at hand. A relaxed mind in a relaxed body allows the chi to flow and releases your power.
Try it today. You'll see.

The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind
Posted by
Best-Product
Scientists say that we only use 10% of our minds. Think about what I just said. We use only 10% of our minds! We are wasting the other 90%. Think of it this way….what if we only used 10% of our salary? Could we survive on 10% of our salary? No way
unless your Bill Gates. What about eating only 10% of the food we make? Wouldn't that be a waste of food? What if we slept only 10% of 8 hours or 80 minutes a day? Could we survive? What if we had only 10% of the oxygen that was available? Could we survive? The answer to all these questions is a resounding NO!
So why do we put up with using only 10% of our brain? Look at your life. Are you living the life you want….on your terms? Are you happy with what you've created or do you think it could be better? Chances are that you are living to only 10% of your abilities. What if you could make your life 100
500
or 1
0
better? I can hear you now saying…"That's impossible" or "that's too hard to do." If you did say that
you're repeating the same pattern in your life
which is you are using only 10% of your brain or less.
If you're happy with using just the 10% of your brain then stop reading now. If you're not satisfied and want to be able to use the rest of it then keep reading. Think about the greatness you can achieve by using your entire mind. There have been a number of great teachers of using the mind
such as Napoleon Hill
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Maxwell Maltz and many others. These men knew the secret to using the power of your mind and how to tap into it.
I'm here to tell you that you currently posses the most powerful tool in the Universe….your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. Your subconscious mind knows everything. It has all the answers if you just use it correctly. It can lead you to a life of harmony
wealth
health
joy and success! This is possible with all aspects of your life.
It's not your fault. You were never taught how to use your mind. The past is over and today can be a new start. It doesn't matter what happened before today
what matters is what happens from today on. You must believe in your subconscious mind and know that it can allow you to lead a life of joy and success.
Let's start off with a very simple procedure. Use your subconscious mind as an alarm clock. Before going to bed at night
tell it what time you want to get up. Let's say you want to wake up at 7:00am. Before going to bed
tell your subconscious mind to "wake me up at 7:00am" and while saying this visualize a clock that reads 7:00.
The first step in changing your life is to start making impressions on your subconscious mind. You can so this by making affirmations as well as thinking certain thoughts. For example
let's say you want to attract money in your life. You can simply repeat these words "I am wealth and success". Repeat these words several times a day. It's best to say them in the morning when you get up and right before you sleep. This is when your mind is in an alpha state. When saying them
make sure you really mean them and focus on the words. Don't feel it's a chore or else it will not do you any good. You can also say them while meditating.
This can work for anything. Make sure the affirmations are positive and not stating the negative. For example
if you want to quit smoking
don't say "I don't smoke". Instead say "My lungs are pure and healthy and I am cigarette free." "I am" are two of the most powerful words in the English language.
Also
it's very important to think positively
don't say to yourself
I'm just never lucky
or "I'm just meant to be poor." Think the opposite
I am lucky
or "Things always work out to my favor" and I am wealthy and successful." If you have trouble believing yourself when you say them then change them to become more believable. You can start small or say "I am becoming wealthy."
If you need help with a problem or are in a situation where you have to make a tough decision and don't know which is the best for you. Ask your subconscious mind for help. Let's say you are contemplating two separate job offers and you are having trouble deciding between the two. Ask your subconscious mind for help by asking it. You may say something like "Infinite wisdom of my subconscious mind
I ask for your help in deciding what is best between these two job offers
I ask for your help and guidance in making a decision that is best for me."
Be still and listen to your subconscious mind. Close your eyes if need be and do not force anything to come to you but just be still and listen. If the answer doesn't come right away
that's ok. It's probably searching for the answer and it may take a little bit of time. But
I assure you
the answer will come…..maybe the next day or next week. You just need to be alert and have your antennas up. The answer may come from something outside of you
perhaps after you wake up. You may be clear in your thoughts on what to do. You may read or hear something that may enlighten you on what to do. You may receive your answer by running into a friend and he may say something that may help you decide. Just be patient and do not get frustrated and think too much about it. By doing so
you are delaying the answer form coming to you.

If you're happy with using just the 10% of your brain then stop reading now. If you're not satisfied and want to be able to use the rest of it then keep reading. Think about the greatness you can achieve by using your entire mind. There have been a number of great teachers of using the mind
such as Napoleon Hill
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Maxwell Maltz and many others. These men knew the secret to using the power of your mind and how to tap into it.
I'm here to tell you that you currently posses the most powerful tool in the Universe….your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. Your subconscious mind knows everything. It has all the answers if you just use it correctly. It can lead you to a life of harmony
wealth
health
joy and success! This is possible with all aspects of your life.
It's not your fault. You were never taught how to use your mind. The past is over and today can be a new start. It doesn't matter what happened before today
what matters is what happens from today on. You must believe in your subconscious mind and know that it can allow you to lead a life of joy and success.
Let's start off with a very simple procedure. Use your subconscious mind as an alarm clock. Before going to bed at night
tell it what time you want to get up. Let's say you want to wake up at 7:00am. Before going to bed
tell your subconscious mind to "wake me up at 7:00am" and while saying this visualize a clock that reads 7:00.
The first step in changing your life is to start making impressions on your subconscious mind. You can so this by making affirmations as well as thinking certain thoughts. For example
let's say you want to attract money in your life. You can simply repeat these words "I am wealth and success". Repeat these words several times a day. It's best to say them in the morning when you get up and right before you sleep. This is when your mind is in an alpha state. When saying them
make sure you really mean them and focus on the words. Don't feel it's a chore or else it will not do you any good. You can also say them while meditating.
This can work for anything. Make sure the affirmations are positive and not stating the negative. For example
if you want to quit smoking
don't say "I don't smoke". Instead say "My lungs are pure and healthy and I am cigarette free." "I am" are two of the most powerful words in the English language.
Also
it's very important to think positively
don't say to yourself
I'm just never lucky
or "I'm just meant to be poor." Think the opposite
I am lucky
or "Things always work out to my favor" and I am wealthy and successful." If you have trouble believing yourself when you say them then change them to become more believable. You can start small or say "I am becoming wealthy."
If you need help with a problem or are in a situation where you have to make a tough decision and don't know which is the best for you. Ask your subconscious mind for help. Let's say you are contemplating two separate job offers and you are having trouble deciding between the two. Ask your subconscious mind for help by asking it. You may say something like "Infinite wisdom of my subconscious mind
I ask for your help in deciding what is best between these two job offers
I ask for your help and guidance in making a decision that is best for me."
Be still and listen to your subconscious mind. Close your eyes if need be and do not force anything to come to you but just be still and listen. If the answer doesn't come right away
that's ok. It's probably searching for the answer and it may take a little bit of time. But
I assure you
the answer will come…..maybe the next day or next week. You just need to be alert and have your antennas up. The answer may come from something outside of you
perhaps after you wake up. You may be clear in your thoughts on what to do. You may read or hear something that may enlighten you on what to do. You may receive your answer by running into a friend and he may say something that may help you decide. Just be patient and do not get frustrated and think too much about it. By doing so
you are delaying the answer form coming to you.
The Power Of Binaural Beats And Holosync Can Change Your Life
Posted by
Best-Product
What if you could have a technology that allows you to meditate like a Zen Buddhist monk? Imagine all the benefits you could get from being able to enter a very deep meditative state without any effort. Can you think of anything you would like to program into your mind during this state? I bet you can.
I am about to introduce you to a relatively new technology that uses Binaural Beats. This technology is cutting-edge and can bring you all the benefits that would otherwise take you 30 years to acquire! I am talking about a meditation program by Centerpointe Research Institute called Holosync. I am going to share with you how this technology works and the benefits you can get from its use as well as the potential dangers that may not be immediately apparent.
Unlike other binaural beats recordings Holosync is a course and not a single recording. It is possible to purchase binaural beat recordings designed for a single purpose. They come in the form of CD and each one is designed to produce just one specific state. However Holosync is very different. The major affect that Holosync promises to produce is the elimination of past negative programing such as traumas
strong and slight emotional issues
negative memories and negative beliefs of all kinds.
Does it work?
To get a comprehensive answer to this question we are required to delve a little deeper into the technology itself and look at the foundation upon which Holosync is built. I am of course talking about Binaural Beat Technology.
It was in 1839 that Binaural Beats were first discovered by a man named Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. However it was much later
in 1973
when Gerald Oster released a paper called "Auditory Beats in the Brain"
that their use in cognitive and neurological research was discovered. These beats are in fact different specific frequencies giving to the left and right ear. The audio produced by using binaural beats can send anyone into a deep meditative state in just a few short minutes. These states are Alpha (light trance)
Theta (deep trance) and Delta (dreamless sleep).
Binaural Beats are created by an audio mixing technique that sends different frequency tones to each ear separately. They are designed to alter the listener's brain wave activity and they do this very effectively. You merely put on some stereo headphones
sit or lie in a comfortable position
close your eyes and allow the sounds to do their work. You don't even have to force yourself to relax.
Scientists have long known that when brainwave patterns change they affect the body. Chemical reactions take place as a direct result of these chnaging brainwave patterns. Such reactions in the body's chemistry usually results in profound positive changes throughout the whole physical system. In essence binaural beats appear to have the same impact and benefits of very deep meditation. It has been shown that this technology produces exactly the same brainwave patterns as those practising deep meditation. For normal people like me and you this is great news. Usually it takes the a life commitment to learn transcendental meditation. Practitioners of such deep meditative practises devote many hours everyday to perfecting the technique. You can do it in minutes. In fact entering even light states of trance can take years to learn and perfect.
The state of transcendental meditation is said to be enormously beneficial to humans. It can stimulate the creation of certain hormones needed by the body and reduce things like blood pressure and it is even said to slow down and reverse effects of the aging process. So the benefits of entering a deep meditative state are apparent as are the benefits of using binaural beat technology to do it.
As far as Holosync goes the other major benefit
as if we needed one more
is that the state produced by the Centerpointe recordings allow you to directly access the subconscious mind.
This means that the Holosync meditation recordings can be used with any other personal development tool
like subliminal recordings
hypnosis sessions or even as an aid to visualization
with dramatic effects. Using this type of 21st Century technology means you can therefore alter limiting or negative beliefs
heal emotional issues or create new positive behaviours in a fraction of the time it would take you using conventional means and with a much higher success rate.
Here are some of the benefits of transcendental meditation:
1. Creates a deep relaxing feeling throughout the body which stays with you for hours afterwards.
2. Boosts your creativity.
3. Slows aging.
4. Removes emotional blocks
old traumas and creates profound emotional changes at an extremely deep level.
5. Eliminates Stress & anxiety.
Now with all the benefits that transcendental meditation brings
and the fact that Holosync produces the same internal states as this meditation
it would be extremely prudent to try it. The real power of the binaural beats behind the Holosync recordings is that they can be used to induce a meditative state and thus create these changes with no effort whatsoever. All that you need to do is wear stereo headphones
sit or lie down in a relaxing position
close your eyes and allow the audio to do all the work. You only need the discipline to listen to the recordings everyday!
The Binaural Beat market is filling up with manufacturer's who offer some great titles. It is also possible to create your own with the proper software. Unfortunately
here lies the danger! You need an in-depth knowledge of brainwave patterns and their effect on the mind and body in order to create the correct frequencies. There are several forum postings that state the improper use of binaural beat technologies has created negative and even damaging results on some people. For this reason I would not recommend creating your own binaural recordings. Likewise
you should be very careful about where you get your recordings. Seek professional
qualified people who know what they are doing so that you know you are getting a quality product.
The CEnterpointe Research Institute
and the Holosync Solution which it produces
are the brainchild of Bill Harris. He created Holosync in 1989
is trained in hypnosis and as well as being a qualified trainer of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). He has studied contemporary psychology
quantum mechanical physics
the evolution of non-linear systems and the effects of a wide range of neuro-technologies on human behavioural change
evolution and healing. Holosync has also been endorsed by some top personal development trainers such as James Arthur Ray and Jack Canfield (chicken soup for the soul author) both of whom appeared in the movie The Secret.
The downside of the Holosync technology is that you need to listen to it everyday to get maximum benefit and it also comes in stages as a course. However
Bill Harris insists that you do not need to continue using it and can stop after each stage of the course is complete while permanently retaining all the changes you've made. You can of course continue and go deeper into the 'meditations' if you wish. The Holosync solution does create deep states akin to meditation and it does remove emotional traumas that are hidden deep in the subconscious mind. To sum up - Holosync does exactly what it says it will do if you follow the instructions.

The Body s Energy Centers
Posted by
Best-Product
Eastern philosophy and medicine
originating in ancient India and China
have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body
representing the flow of life energy and
in some sense
conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person’s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as “whirlpools referred
” and in Indian
they are considered ”energy bursts” or “wheels.”
The process of energy transformation happens exactly in these centers. Vital energy
along with blood
circulates around the meridians in the chakras and fuels all organs and systems in the human body. When the circulation in these meridians stagnates
the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method
designed explicitly to battle such stagnation is Chi Gun
an ancient Chinese method for self-healing which activates the energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release the energy themselves by massaging specific areas corresponding to the different chakras.
There are 49 chakras mentioned in the Vedic Canons
seven of which are basic; 21 are in the second circle
and 21 in the third circle. According to the Vedis
there are multiple energy channels leading to different locations from the chakras. Three of these channels are basic. The first one
called “shushumna
” is hollow and is concentrated in the spine. The other two energy pathways
“ida” and “pingala”
are located on either side of the spine. These two channels are the most active in most people
while “shushumna” remains stagnant.
The seven basic chakras spin at high speeds in the body of healthy individuals but slow down in times of sickness or with advancing age. When the body is in a harmonious balance
the chakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy
leading to various disorders.
The first basic chakra
“Muladhara
” is located at the base of the spine in the tailbone area. Life energy
which is at the core of a strong and healthy immune system
is stored in this chakra. It is impossible for a person to become sick
old or even to die
before exhausting his or her reserves of this vital energy. The very will for life is controlled by Muladhara. It is also in charge of the bones and joints
the teeth
the nails
the urinogenital system and the large intestine. The first symptoms of a malfunctioning Muladhara are unreasonable fear
faintness
lack of security or faith in the future
leg and foot problems
and intestinal disorders.
The interrupted activity of the Muladhara chakra causes lack of energy
digestive problems
diseases of the bones and spine
and nervous tension among others.
The second chakra
“Svadhistana
” is located at the level of the sacrum
three or four fingers below the belly button. This chakra regulates the pelvis
the kidneys and sexual functions. We also feel other peoples’ emotions through this chakra. Symptoms of a malfunctioning “Svadhistana” are kidney problems
cystitis and arthritis.
The third chakra
“Manipura
” is found in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for storing and distributing energy produced by digestion and breathing. It is responsible for vision
the gastrointestinal system
the liver
the gall bladder
the pancreas and nervous system. Symptoms of a stagnant “Manipura” are as follows: increased and constant worrying
as well as stomach
liver and nervous disorders.
The fourth chakra
“Anahata
” also called the heart chakra
is located in the chest area. We generate and receive love through this chakra. It is in charge of the heart
the lungs
the bronchi
the hands and the arms. Symptoms of stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalances.
The fifth chakra
“Vishudha
” is located at the throat level and is the center of analytical skills and logic. This chakra sustains the skin
organs of hearing
along with the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include a lack of emotional stability
discomfort in the cervical spine
soar throats
difficulties communicating
and esophagus and thyroid ailments.
The sixth chakra
“Adjna
” is located between the eyebrows and is called the “third eye.” Here is the throne for the human brain. “Adjna” circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person’s “third eye” ceases to function properly
one might notice a decrease in intellectual ability
headaches and migraines
earaches
olfactory illnesses
and psychological disorders.
The seventh chakra
“Sahasrara
” is found at the very top of the head and represents the apex where an individual’s energy vibrates with the highest frequency. It is considered a spiritual center and the entrance to the body for cosmic energy. A stagnant “Sahasrara” can result in a decrease in or lack of inner wisdom
as well as a lack of basic intuition.
With this basic knowledge of the first seven chakras
we can address the question: “How do we use this information to locate the causes of our troubles and problems
and with the help of Eastern Medicine
learn to control the functions of the chakras ourselves?”.
From the perspective of Eastern Medicine
our health depends on the distribution of our energy-consciousness informational field. A shortage of energy inevitably causes ailments. According to Tibetan Medicine
the only difference between youth and old age
and between a sick and healthy individual
is the difference in the rotating speed of the whirlpool energy centers of the chakras. If these different speeds are balanced
old people will rejuvenate and sick people will heal. Therefore
the best way to preserve and keep our health
youth and vitality is to restore and maintain a balanced movement of the energy centers.
The easiest way to keep the chakras balanced is through a set of physical exercises. Yannis called these not simply exercises
but rituals. These rituals allow the human body to mold its energy centers to an ideal level of function. The seven rituals
one for each chakra
must be performed together every morning and when not possible
in the evening. Skipping rituals unbalances energy distribution
and so for the best results
no more than one day per week should be missed. The daily chakra rituals are necessary not only for revitalizing the body
but also for achieving success in every facet of life. “Once you learn how to transform your energy
you will also become happier
” concluded Yannis.
For learning these rituals (which have transformed many peoples’ lives throughout the world)
seeing them in action is much more effective than trying to follow written descriptions or diagrams. A DVD
available from Helix 7
Inc. (www.FeelingOfHappiness.com)
includes actual demonstrations of these rituals.
Another method of keeping the chakras balanced and in their optimal half-open state is meditation. Meditative methods are universal to the human experience; they have accumulated over the ages through many different cultures and have proven their value in attaining peace
clarity
equanimity and in transcending despair. People who meditate on a regular basis are usually calmer
more secure
more joyful and more productive human beings. They are more effective in their everyday lives because they use their mental and physical potential
abilities and skills to their fullest extent. All too often
we humans fail to realize the great latent powers which are
as yet
unawakened in our bodies. We must learn how to revive and utilize them. This can only be achieved through meditation. Eastern men of wisdom
who believed meditation to be a vital necessity
stumbled on this discovery more than 1000 years ago. They learned to influence their inner organs and control their metabolism with the power of their minds. Meditation is to the mind what exercise is to the body; mental strength can be built up just like physical strength. Just as in athletics
it is important for an individual to train his or her body
it is important for an individual to train his or her mind through meditation.
The best time for meditation is early morning
preferably at dawn. Do not meditate when you are sad
aggravated
desperate or sick
because these intense emotional and physiological distractions make an enlightened state of mind impossible. For an effective meditation session
it is preferable to arrange for the undistracted silence of a quiet
clean room with flowers
or the soothing sounds of Mother Nature - near a lake
river
waterfall
woods or fields. Many different mental practices
having their origin in historical traditions
fall under the general heading of "meditation." These paths of mental development can involve emotional and intellectual facets and may also be coordinated with specific movements. Meditation can be structured or unstructured
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer writes in his book Real Magic
“The process of meditation is nothing more than quietly going within and discovering that higher component of yourself … Learning to meditate is learning how to live rather than talking about it…”
Read More “The Body s Energy Centers”
originating in ancient India and China
have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body
representing the flow of life energy and
in some sense
conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person’s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as “whirlpools referred
” and in Indian
they are considered ”energy bursts” or “wheels.”
The process of energy transformation happens exactly in these centers. Vital energy
along with blood
circulates around the meridians in the chakras and fuels all organs and systems in the human body. When the circulation in these meridians stagnates
the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method
designed explicitly to battle such stagnation is Chi Gun
an ancient Chinese method for self-healing which activates the energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release the energy themselves by massaging specific areas corresponding to the different chakras.
There are 49 chakras mentioned in the Vedic Canons
seven of which are basic; 21 are in the second circle
and 21 in the third circle. According to the Vedis
there are multiple energy channels leading to different locations from the chakras. Three of these channels are basic. The first one
called “shushumna
” is hollow and is concentrated in the spine. The other two energy pathways
“ida” and “pingala”
are located on either side of the spine. These two channels are the most active in most people
while “shushumna” remains stagnant.
The seven basic chakras spin at high speeds in the body of healthy individuals but slow down in times of sickness or with advancing age. When the body is in a harmonious balance
the chakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy
leading to various disorders.
The first basic chakra
“Muladhara
” is located at the base of the spine in the tailbone area. Life energy
which is at the core of a strong and healthy immune system
is stored in this chakra. It is impossible for a person to become sick
old or even to die
before exhausting his or her reserves of this vital energy. The very will for life is controlled by Muladhara. It is also in charge of the bones and joints
the teeth
the nails
the urinogenital system and the large intestine. The first symptoms of a malfunctioning Muladhara are unreasonable fear
faintness
lack of security or faith in the future
leg and foot problems
and intestinal disorders.
The interrupted activity of the Muladhara chakra causes lack of energy
digestive problems
diseases of the bones and spine
and nervous tension among others.
The second chakra
“Svadhistana
” is located at the level of the sacrum
three or four fingers below the belly button. This chakra regulates the pelvis
the kidneys and sexual functions. We also feel other peoples’ emotions through this chakra. Symptoms of a malfunctioning “Svadhistana” are kidney problems
cystitis and arthritis.
The third chakra
“Manipura
” is found in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for storing and distributing energy produced by digestion and breathing. It is responsible for vision
the gastrointestinal system
the liver
the gall bladder
the pancreas and nervous system. Symptoms of a stagnant “Manipura” are as follows: increased and constant worrying
as well as stomach
liver and nervous disorders.
The fourth chakra
“Anahata
” also called the heart chakra
is located in the chest area. We generate and receive love through this chakra. It is in charge of the heart
the lungs
the bronchi
the hands and the arms. Symptoms of stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalances.
The fifth chakra
“Vishudha
” is located at the throat level and is the center of analytical skills and logic. This chakra sustains the skin
organs of hearing
along with the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include a lack of emotional stability
discomfort in the cervical spine
soar throats
difficulties communicating
and esophagus and thyroid ailments.
The sixth chakra
“Adjna
” is located between the eyebrows and is called the “third eye.” Here is the throne for the human brain. “Adjna” circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person’s “third eye” ceases to function properly

The Art Of Silence Meditation Techniques
Posted by
Best-Product
In today's fast-paced world
many people are seeking a way to get away from it all and relax. Meditation
which is essentially a method to obtain a level of deep thought and relaxation
is one way to find inner peace and tranquility. Many people think of monks or other spiritual types sitting in crossed-leg position and reaching states of bliss when they think of mediation
but there are many ways to meditate. While there are many ways to reach a meditative state
there really are no right or wrong ways to mediate (this would defeat the purpose)
only practice and finding ways that feel right for you.
Meditation is associated with many religions
but one does not need to be associated with any particular religion in order to meditate. You might want to investigate different methods
however
to find a form of mediation that feels most comfortable. One common method includes repeating a sound or word
called a mantra. Other forms of meditation involve focusing on a visual image
such as the flame of a candle or a symbol. Other meditative techniques involve breathing and physical movements
such as yoga or other breathing practices.
No matter what the method
the tools used in meditation are there to help users reach a state of mental relaxation. Many mediation techniques help you clear your mind of the constant thoughts that normally run through the mind. In reducing or eliminating these thoughts
one can reach a state of deep thought that is associated with meditation.
There are two primary approaches to meditation
which are concentrative meditation and mindfulness meditation. In concentrative meditation
the practitioner focuses on breath
an object
or a sound (mantra). In mindfulness meditation
the practitioner sits quietly and "observes" everything in the environment
including thoughts
sounds
smells
and more. In this form of meditation
the practitioner practices not reacting to the environment (both internal and external)
which can lead to a greater ability to act in a non-reactive way in daily life. Both forms of meditation are useful
and one is no better than the other is. Personal preference may determine which method you choose
and you can always try both.
Both physical and mental benefits can result from meditation. This can include increased heart health through relaxation
lowered cholesterol and blood pressure
and a more youthful feeling. Mental benefits can be an increased sense of well-being
decreased anxiety and depression
and emotional stability. Meditation should not be used as a cure for physical or mental ailments
however
but it can be a powerful supplement. Those with physical or mental health conditions should consult with a health care professional before beginning a mediation practice.
Meditation can be quite physical
such as with some types of yoga
or seemingly passive
such as in mindfulness types of mediation. In addition to the types of meditation
there are different stages as well. Generally speaking
in early stages of meditation
the practitioner is more aware of the practice. He or she may have difficulty concentrating on breath or not reacting to thought. With practice
this moves into a stage where one is much less aware. This is followed by a stage of bliss
which is followed by very deep sense of self
followed by an ability to reach a stage of deep stillness.
There are many resources available on meditation. Those new to the practice may opt to take part in a class or guide when beginning. Others may prefer to read up on the various options and practice on his or her own. Visit the local library for books and resources or visit a yoga or spiritual center. Meditation can be an enjoyable experience and provide balance to an otherwise hectic life.

Ten Relaxation Techniques

A few good relaxation techniques can save your life
because stress is more than just unpleasant. It's also dangerous to your health. Disciplined practices such as meditation can help relieve that stress
but what if you don't have the time or motivation? Maybe you need to try a few of these simple ways to relax.
1. Hug someone. Giving a hug means getting one. As long as it's from somebody you don't mind hugging you
this really can be relaxing.
2. Interrupt routines. Go talk to that guy sleeping on the bench
or eat lunch on the roof. Just doing anything that breaks you out of your habitual patterns can relieve stress.
3. Have a hot shower. It relaxes your muscles
and any break from more stressful activities can help too. Some find that an alternating hot and cold shower is even more relaxing.
4. Try watching your mind. Spot the stressors lurking just below the surface (hunger
worry
a phone call you need to make)
and you can resolve them and feel more relaxed. If you practice this mindfulness exercise
it may become one of your favorite relaxation techniques.
5. Try laughing. Your own experience shows that this helps you relax
right? Go find a guy that knows all the best jokes
or find something funny in front of you.
6. Use relaxing music. Keep your favorite relaxation CD at the office
in the car
or wherever you'll need it most.
7. Leave the room for a while. This can really help if the things in the room or related to it are triggering your stressful thoughts. Why not get out for a little while?
8. Breath deeply. Try five deep breaths through your nose. Close your eyes and pay attention only to your breathing while doing this. It's like a mini-meditation
and perhaps the most effective of the quick relaxation techniques.
9. Drink some chamomile tea. Chamomile tea seems to have a calming effect on the nerves. Any hot tea without caffeine may be relaxing.
10. Walk a while. If you have at least ten minutes to spare
walking is one of the best relaxation techniques. While you're at it
find a pretty place to walk.
Naturally
it is ideal if you can change yourself
so you're naturally more relaxed all of the time. Perhaps the thought of the work involved in this just stresses you more. In that case you might have to take it slow
so why not start with one or two of the simple relaxation techniques above?

Stress Meditation

Too much stress? You need a simple stress meditation. Of course
learning to meditate might intimidate you
and it's tough to find the time for daily meditation. A solution to both problems is a meditation you can learn right now
that will take a minute to do each day.
An Easy Stress Meditation
When you breath through your mouth
it expands your chest. Breath through your nose and you'll notice how your abdomen extends. Nose-breathing causes the diaphram to pull air to the bottom of your lungs. This delivers a good dose of oxygen into your bloodstream and brain
and it also tends to relax you. Breathing through your nose is healthier
and it's the basis of this one-minute meditation.
Here's how you do it. Close your eyes
sigh
and let the tension go out of your muscles. It may help to tense up your muscles first
then release that tension. Then let go of your thoughts
as much as possible
and take four or five slow
deep breaths through your nose
paying attention to your breathing.
Can Meditation Be This Easy?
The short answer is yes. No
you're not likely to get you into a deep meditative state with this simple stess meditation. However
you will get benefits
including a clearer mind and a reduction in stress.
It helps to develop a "trigger" for your meditation. For example
do your four breaths when you get into the car
or right after lunch each day. These triggers are places or times that remind you
so your meditation becomes a habit.
You can say this isn't "real" meditation
but there's nothing wrong with enjoying the relaxation you'll get from this technique. If you want
you can always pursue deeper meditation later. Meanwhile
remember that not everything has to be difficult to be of value. Why not try this easy one-minute stress meditation?

Wondering how people who live to be 100 with a great quality of life do it? In his book
“Aging Well
” Harvard researcher
George Vaillant
M.D.
found out just what centurions do. They cultivate a sense of peace
well-being and maintain a positive attitude. How? Here’s one of their biggest secrets: meditation. What’s ironic about meditation is
it has just become known in the West as a healing technique
but it has been practiced for ages in the East. So in my quest to give you easy sensible ways to purify your energy
I'll begin by defining meditation
then I'll show you how easy it is to apply to your daily routine.
Meditation Defined
Meditational exercises primarily use the experience of the body and thought as a means to reconnect with the environment and its healing power. Meditation
when practiced frequently
has been proven to promote inner peace and wellness. Meditation is also a mental practice in which the mind is directed to one area
often the breath. It draws its energy from the human connection to nature and creates a sense of unity or one-ness with it.
This unity has been shown to increase communication with the spirit of the body. It has also been known to allow positive thoughts in and to stimulate positive physiological and psychological effects. Meditation techniques are easy to learn and can easily be incorporated into any lifestyle. If practiced regularly
meditation will bring balance to your body and mind.
General benefits of meditation and breathing exercises include:
• Deep inner peace
• Improved self-esteem
• Increased creativity
• Physical health/healing
• Reduced medical care
• Slowing/reversal of aging
• Reversing of heart disease
• Stimulation of the body’s immune system
• Reduced stress
I have found there is really no one right ways to meditate. Here are a couple of my favorite meditational exercises that will get you started. Remember
there is no wrong path here. Try these
or simply sit in silence for 20 minutes
daily. You’ll be glad you did.
Meditative Grounding Exercise
• Sit with your legs crossed in a comfortable (Indian-style) position with your hands relaxed on you lap. Close your eyes and imagine a beam of light dropping from the base of your spine through the earth and connecting you to its center.
• Allow this beam of light to expand in width until it is wider than your own body and envelopes it. This is your personal space.
This exercise places you totally in your body and reminds you that you are anchored to the earth. Remember
the more grounded you are
the more aware you are. Sense the presence of your higher self: listen to its voice.
Energy Cleaning Exercise
Now that you are grounded
it’s important that you cleanse this personal space. Often we collect other people’s energies and are not aware of it. We do this both through interaction with others and basic activities of daily living.
• To remove all foreign energies from your space
imagine holding a brush and sweeping away the debris.
• Allow the debris to fall to the ground and become washed away. Let the light from the previous exercise envelop your body and spread its healing energy to the edge of your space
forming a protective force field around you.
Cleaning out the area surrounding your body will keep you grounded
define your personal boundaries and declare your space. Then choose who and what you wish to enter you space
keeping disease and illness out.
Breathing Exercise
• Follow your breath as you slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Count with each exhale until you reach 10 then begin again at one.
• If you find yourself past 10
acknowledge this and begin again at one from wherever you are.
• Imagine your body’s cells being replaced with fresh
pure oxygen and positive healing energy from this power source. Picture yourself exhaling old cells
stress
illness and worries.
• Let your thoughts pass through your mind like drifting clouds. Let them in and gently let them pass through. If the mind should harbor a negative thought
refocus on the breath.
• Thank any persistent negative thoughts for coming into your mind then gently let them go.
• Listen only for the positive
pronounced voice; the voice of your body.
Retrieve Your Energy Exercise
Since foreign energy often resides in your space
let’s also assume that you leave energy in other places. After completing the preceding exercises it is necessary to re-energize and call energy back.
• Imagine you have an energy magnet used to attract your energy back to you. Visualize energy flowing back to you
filling your body with light
health and empowerment.
• Allow a few minutes for the process.
Journal Questions:
1. Record in your journal any problem or trouble you may be having – emotional
physical or otherwise. Let problems go and give them over to your meditation.
2. Do you notice solutions coming to you throughout the day? Do you notice with regular meditation that your body and mind are becoming calmer and clearer?
Ideas To Consider:
1. Make time for your spirit daily. Exhibit behaviors and self talk that show your reverence for yourself.

• Deep inner peace
• Improved self-esteem
• Increased creativity
• Physical health/healing
• Reduced medical care
• Slowing/reversal of aging
• Reversing of heart disease
• Stimulation of the body’s immune system
• Reduced stress
I have found there is really no one right ways to meditate. Here are a couple of my favorite meditational exercises that will get you started. Remember
there is no wrong path here. Try these
or simply sit in silence for 20 minutes
daily. You’ll be glad you did.
Meditative Grounding Exercise
• Sit with your legs crossed in a comfortable (Indian-style) position with your hands relaxed on you lap. Close your eyes and imagine a beam of light dropping from the base of your spine through the earth and connecting you to its center.
• Allow this beam of light to expand in width until it is wider than your own body and envelopes it. This is your personal space.
This exercise places you totally in your body and reminds you that you are anchored to the earth. Remember
the more grounded you are
the more aware you are. Sense the presence of your higher self: listen to its voice.
Energy Cleaning Exercise
Now that you are grounded
it’s important that you cleanse this personal space. Often we collect other people’s energies and are not aware of it. We do this both through interaction with others and basic activities of daily living.
• To remove all foreign energies from your space
imagine holding a brush and sweeping away the debris.
• Allow the debris to fall to the ground and become washed away. Let the light from the previous exercise envelop your body and spread its healing energy to the edge of your space
forming a protective force field around you.
Cleaning out the area surrounding your body will keep you grounded
define your personal boundaries and declare your space. Then choose who and what you wish to enter you space
keeping disease and illness out.
Breathing Exercise
• Follow your breath as you slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Count with each exhale until you reach 10 then begin again at one.
• If you find yourself past 10
acknowledge this and begin again at one from wherever you are.
• Imagine your body’s cells being replaced with fresh
pure oxygen and positive healing energy from this power source. Picture yourself exhaling old cells
stress
illness and worries.
• Let your thoughts pass through your mind like drifting clouds. Let them in and gently let them pass through. If the mind should harbor a negative thought
refocus on the breath.
• Thank any persistent negative thoughts for coming into your mind then gently let them go.
• Listen only for the positive
pronounced voice; the voice of your body.
Retrieve Your Energy Exercise
Since foreign energy often resides in your space
let’s also assume that you leave energy in other places. After completing the preceding exercises it is necessary to re-energize and call energy back.
• Imagine you have an energy magnet used to attract your energy back to you. Visualize energy flowing back to you
filling your body with light
health and empowerment.
• Allow a few minutes for the process.
Journal Questions:
1. Record in your journal any problem or trouble you may be having – emotional
physical or otherwise. Let problems go and give them over to your meditation.
2. Do you notice solutions coming to you throughout the day? Do you notice with regular meditation that your body and mind are becoming calmer and clearer?
Ideas To Consider:
1. Make time for your spirit daily. Exhibit behaviors and self talk that show your reverence for yourself.
Six Types Of Meditation
Thursday, 20 August 2009Posted by

There are so many different types of meditation. How many? Who knows
but enough so that you can find the one that's right for you. To get your search started
here are six types of meditation you can try.
1. Breath watching. Can meditating be as simple as paying attention to your breath for a few minutes? You bet. Relax in whatever position works best for you
close your eyes and start to pay attention to your breathing. Breathing through your nose gets your diaphragm involved and gets oxygen all the way to the bottom of your lungs. As your mind wanders
just re-focus your attention on the air going in and out of your nose. Just do this for several minutes
or longer as you get used to it.
2. An empty mind meditation. Meditating can create a kind of "awareness without object
an emptying of all thoughts from your mind. The techniques for doing this involve sitting still, often in a
full lotus" or cross-legged position
and letting the mind go silent on its own. It can be difficult
particularly since any effort seems to just cause more business in the mind.
3. Walking meditations. This one gets the body involved. It can be outside or simply as a back and forth pacing in a room. Pay attention to the movement of your legs and breathing and body as you walk
and to the feeling of your feet contacting the ground. When your mind wanders
just keep bringing it back to the process of walking and breathing. Meditating outside in this way can be difficult because of the distractions. If you do it outside
find a quiet place with level ground.
4. Mindfulness meditation. A practice Buddhists call vipassana or insight meditation
mindfulness is the art of becoming deeply aware of what is here right now. You focus on what's happening in and around you at this very moment
and become aware of all the thoughts and feelings that are taking your energy from moment to moment. You can start by watching your breath
and then move your attention to the thoughts going through your mind
the feelings in your body
and even the sounds and sights around you. The key is to watch without judging or analyzing.
5. Simple mantra meditation. Many people find it easier to keep their mind from wandering if they concentrate on something specific. A mantra can help. This is a word or phrase you repeat as you sit in meditation
and is chosen for you by an experienced master in some traditions. If you are working on this alone
you can use any word or phrase that works for you
and can choose to either repeat it aloud or in your head as you meditate.
6. Meditating on a concept. Some meditative practices involve contemplation of an idea or scenario. An example is the "meditation on impermanence
in which you focus on the impermanent nature of all things, starting with your thoughts and feelings as they come and go. In the Buddhist
meditation on the corpse
you think about a body in the ground, as it slowly rots away and is fed on by worms. The technique is used to guide you to an understanding that your rationalizing mind might not bring you to.
There are many other meditations you can try, such as the
meditation on loving-kindness" or "object" meditation
and even meditating using brain wave entrainment products. Each type has its own advantages and effects. For this reason
you may find that at different times and for different purposes you want to use several different types of meditation.

Serenity
Posted by
Best-Product
Serenity refers to a state of peacefulness where the mind is calm and unruffled by the external environment. This higher spiritual echelon
or inner peace
is accompanied by a sense of contentment and bliss. Human beings are distinct from all other life forms due to their intelligence and consciousness. The conscious mind perceives the external world and feels various emotions based on experiences and perception.
These feelings
emotions
and sentiments
in turn
determine our inner equilibrium or “inner life.” Consciousness
which stems from internalization of social values and morals
also plays a major role in directing the inner equilibrium. Most of the time
the inner life or equilibrium of a human mind is in a disturbed state. The mind is never at peace
and chaos reigns due to anger
shame
feelings of guilt
and sadness. The human mind strives to achieve the right balance or equilibrium. The eternal quest for the ultimate goal—bliss—proceeds in many directions.
Some seek respite in various forms of addiction
or others by passionately submerging themselves in work or pleasure. These paths
however
never satiate the true desire for peace or tranquility. Serenity
or peace
is achieved by striving for inner peace first. The most important step in this direction is to recognize the inner child of the mind. The second step emancipating the inner child from all forms of abuse and loving it unconditionally
like a child.
Self-love is the key to serenity. Self-love doesn’t require one to be directed by the inner child. One should take control as a conscious being and love one’s self
yet not be dictated by it. Some find serenity in nature; for others
serenity is found in visiting with family and friends. True serenity is achieved by empowering the inner life and allowing it to reflect the external life.

Relaxing The Mind

What is relaxation?
In common terminology
relaxation means that we leave ourselves free of tension. Relaxing mind may mean that the mind is not under stress or active. In today's lifestyle
this looks difficult. Isn't it?
Now a days
most of us believe to be being under stress during most of the week and relax only on the weekends. This is considered the common way of life. Is this the right way of living? Is living a relaxed life all the time not our right? Let us reclaim it.
Bad stress -
If you ask anyone that why is he/she under stress most of the week
what answer do you expect to get? I have so much work to do
deadlines to meet
tasks to be completed
prepare for the new launch etc. Don't you think that something like this will be the response?
Let us discuss why most of us are stressed all the time.
At some time in our life
while we are chasing the dreams we lose our habit of sitting back and reflecting. We begin giving auto responses. If we are held up in a traffic jam
our response is - either to worry about the work ahead
or blame the system or some such negative thought. Not many of us think - All right. If the traffic is not moving
let me relax
listen to some good music
or go back to some childhood memories
remember good friends
let me make the best use of the time to relax and enjoy life. Not many of us respond in this way. We respond in stressed way whenever we come across any similar situation. This habit is taking a big toll on our quality of life.
Stress - A way of life.
We have taken stress as a way of life. Very few of us think about why they are trying to work at such a hectic pace and if ultimately
we are going to leave this world with a lot of incomplete work
why not at least work in a relaxed way? What is the use of working so much
if we kill all the joy. In search of a better tomorrow
we kill the present. Isn't it?
Stressed work environment
stressed family life
no time to just walk around doing nothing but watch the nature...Why? It is as if we want to achieve most in the shortest possible time and therefore have no time to relax Working non-stop all the week is a way of life for a large majority. The increase in cardiac attacks
depression etc
are all the results of this stressed lifestyle. When we get stressed
we look around for the latest stress busters
latest therapies
etc. to counter the stress.
And then by the time the week ends
we again go out somewhere to relax. Sometimes holidays also tire
don't they?
Why not lead a relaxed life all through the week?
Why not work in a relaxed frame of mind? Why get stressed?
Reflection about our own life is very essential if we want to reclaim our right to live peacefully. Will it help
if we bring some beautiful scenes of nature on our computers? Will it help
if we find time to watch a butterfly flying on our screens? The beauty of a colorful flower. Can it make us little relaxed?
If your answer is yes
download screensavers and find time to watch them whenever you find time while working. Look at them
wonder about the beauty of nature
think of their perfection and just relax.

Relaxation Exercises And Ridiculous Mental Conditioning

When Oprah Winfrey was interviewed by the legendary US television reporter Barbara Walters she was asked "what's the reason you put yourself on the line week after week
year after year
on the cutting edge of human emotion?" Oprah replied "Teaching people to take responsibly. I believe the secret to life is to take responsibility
once people grasp that I believe everything in their life changes. Once people understand it and live it
they are at cause for their life rather than living in effect and in reaction."
Public issues aside most people agree Bill Clinton was a very charismatic leader. Yet by his own admission in his autobiography he talks about painful acts in his childhood
anger and emotion that drove him to a better life. He hit a level of threshold where he was finally dissatisfied enough with his life to make changes. He was literally propelled forward to improve his life
and dream
and apply and learn the tools and strategies to assist himself and those around him. It's up to us to make a decision
to release all our negative emotions
to live in the present and to move into the future with improvement. The best thing about the past is that it's over.
Make a decision right now to release any old emotion you had with other people and move forward empowered. Put your shoulders back. Now stop and do something a little ridiculous. Float way up in the air in your mind
imagine you’re near a big ravine
put 100 singers down each side and hear them singing now. Hear the lightning coming down the side of the cliff. Feel the static electricity in the air. Now imagine a big puma in front of you
licking its lips. Now step inside the puma
feel the muscles and the strength and look way down the bottom
way off into the distance
so small it’s barely a speck
way down the bottom of the cliff is a person or situation you were facing. Hear the singers sing "Your Butt is Mine". Most of us don't feel good because we don’t do what could be described as "ridiculous mental conditioning".
Stop now and imagine a room in your mind
walk down the stairs
as you walk down with each stair releasing negativity and building up strength. At the bottom is a door. Open it. Inside is a beautiful garden. Imagine the sight
the sound
the feel and the smell. And in this garden are some people you need to meet. You need to have a conversation with them that goes something along the lines of "I forgive you". You may not be aware yet of the cords that still connect you to these people.
Now
stop and take two giant blades and drop them down and cut those cords and see the people fly off into the distance to go about their own growing. Now feel a pleasant feeling in your body. Lock this feeling in.
Consciously feel the release. Now visualize in front of you how you want to be
a more advanced version of you. Filled with whatever positive emotions you desire. Stop and imagine the qualities you need. Notice how does this new you look? Notice how his new you is feeling? Notice how this new you sounds? If you haven’t yet noticed then feel the strength from being around this new you. Notice how this new you stands and breathes. Now step into this taking on all the qualities of this new you. Make a commitment with this deepest part of yourself to take this new you around with you wherever you go.
What would this new you do? What would this new you stand for? What would this new you contribute? What would this new you be interested in? How will this you respond when you get off track? How will it feel when you live you life at this new standard? Step into this new you and feel the feelings in your body.
Decide to take your relationships to the next level. People love to talk about their own interests
learn to cultivate the art of being a good listener and people will like you - even if you have to sacrifice some of the conversational enjoyment for yourself to give to others. Watch the difference in your own life. People build up rapport with others by speaking at about the same speed and the same volume as the other person.
Consciously dwell on something that makes you feel strong. Clear your head. Adapt some positive characteristics of a role model. One of the best ways to gain confidence is to decide right now to have it
and embrace it.

stop and take two giant blades and drop them down and cut those cords and see the people fly off into the distance to go about their own growing. Now feel a pleasant feeling in your body. Lock this feeling in.
Consciously feel the release. Now visualize in front of you how you want to be
a more advanced version of you. Filled with whatever positive emotions you desire. Stop and imagine the qualities you need. Notice how does this new you look? Notice how his new you is feeling? Notice how this new you sounds? If you haven’t yet noticed then feel the strength from being around this new you. Notice how this new you stands and breathes. Now step into this taking on all the qualities of this new you. Make a commitment with this deepest part of yourself to take this new you around with you wherever you go.
What would this new you do? What would this new you stand for? What would this new you contribute? What would this new you be interested in? How will this you respond when you get off track? How will it feel when you live you life at this new standard? Step into this new you and feel the feelings in your body.
Decide to take your relationships to the next level. People love to talk about their own interests
learn to cultivate the art of being a good listener and people will like you - even if you have to sacrifice some of the conversational enjoyment for yourself to give to others. Watch the difference in your own life. People build up rapport with others by speaking at about the same speed and the same volume as the other person.
Consciously dwell on something that makes you feel strong. Clear your head. Adapt some positive characteristics of a role model. One of the best ways to gain confidence is to decide right now to have it
and embrace it.

Personal Growth Through Binaural Beats And Holosync
Posted by
Best-Product
This article is designed to help you understand the relatively new technology of Binaural Beats
as used in the Holosync recordings. You should be aware of how this technology works
the benefits it can bestow and any potential dangers that may come from its use.
By far the most popular binaural beats recording is Holosync. This program is designed to remove negative programming from your past and free you from past traumas
bad memories
emotional issues and negative beliefs. But does it work? To answer that question let me explain a little about the technology.
Binaural Beats are specific frequencies that can bring you into a profoundly deep state of meditation within minutes using the latest innovations in sound technology. They utilize a specific audio mixing technique designed to alter the listener's brain wave activity. By sitting or lying down in a quiet environment and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create Alpha
Theta and Delta brainwave patterns.
When brainwave patterns change it has been documented that there is also a change in chemical reactions within the body which can have a profound effect on your entire physical structure. In effect these beats have the same impact and benefits of a deep meditative state akin to hypnologic trance or transcendental mediation. Now very few people can enter such deep states of hypnosis and transcendental meditation takes a lifetime to perfect. So the immediate benefits of using a binaural beats recording is apparent.
An added benefit of using such technology is that the states it creates allow you to access the subconscious parts of the mind. Those parts that are subliminal and just below the conscious threshold. Binaural beats can be used with many other self improvement tools (such as subliminal recordings
affirmations or visualization etc.) to increase your personal development dramatically as it creates deep states of relaxation and can put you into Alpha and Theta states. Therefore they can be used as an aid to alter beliefs
heal emotional issues or create behaviour changes. One of the great benefits they can give is a quick energy boost equivalent to a few hours sleep. It is believed that by using binaural beats you can:
1
Create deep states of meditation.
2
Boost your intelligence and creativity.
3
Slow aging.
4
Remove emotional blocks
old traumas and create profound emotional changes at an extremely deep level.
5
Eliminate Stress & anxiety.
The beauty of binaural beats is that they can be used to induce these states and create these changes with no effort on the part of the listener. You just wear a set of headphones and let the sound technology do the rest.
The discovery of binaural technology is mostly accredited to Dr. Gerald Oster. Oster first published research about binaural beats in 1973 in Scientific American after he had conducted extensive studies.
However
this is not as well known
binaural beats where in fact first discovered as far back as 1839 by an Associate Professor
at the University of Berlin
called Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Dove accidentally discovered that when two similar sounds
which are only slightly shifted in frequency
are given separately to left and right ear they cause a pulsation or beat type effect within the brain.
However
it was Dr. Oster who uncovered the full benefits of using this new technology when he discovered the effects that binaural beats have on the mind and body.
There are many producers of binaural beat technology competing in the market today. It is possible to create your own with the proper software. However
an in-depth knowledge of brainwave patterns and their effect on the mind and body is advisable before ever trying to create your own. I have read several forum postings that state the use of binaural beat technologies has created negative and even damaging results on listeners. For that reason I believe it is safer to stick to the tried and tested pre-made recordings that are available for a reasonable fee. You can purchase separate binaural beat recordings to induce almost any emotional state or you can even enrol on a binaural beat program for self improvement that takes several years to complete.
I
myself
have no experience of any damaging effects due to the use of binaural beats. However
if you are using binaural beats for personal development purposes their use can be uncomfortable. All my experiences have been extremely positive
although not always pleasurable. Let me explain.
ECC machines have been used in the past to monitor the brain activity of life-long meditaters. These experts at meditation showed alpha
that and even delta brainwave patterns while in a self-induced meditative state. Through binaural beat recordings you can create such states easily.
The alpha brainwave patterns are only apparent during a relaxed state. Alpha brainwaves are the most apparent brainwave state encountered during hypnosis and when we experience this state
which do constantly throughout the day
we are extremely susceptible to suggestion. This is the state that you enter during hypnosis. Theta brainwaves allow for the absorption of huge amounts of information while Delta brainwaves are most apparent when you enter a state of deep but dreamless sleep. It is the Delta state that is the main aim of such practices as transcendental meditation. Although for many entering the delta state while fully conscious can be very relaxing
for most it is not
for it is during such brain activity that internal change occurs.
Through deep meditative states you can activate profound positive changes in your body
mind and emotional state which remain permanent. As binaural beta recordings bring you into these states effortlessly
you can gain all the benefits without any of the work. This can be a very profound and extremely life-changing experience. You will find past buried memories resurface as the beats direct your brain to restructure its neural network and raise your "comfort level" to a new high. It only takes a few listening sessions before you see positive results. You will feel less stressed in situations that previously sent you up the wall
will be more focused in the moment and your tasks at hand
much more centred and composed. The technology literally eliminates negative emotional
mental and physical patterns. The discomfort I spoke of earlier comes from the restructuring of your brain's neural network as old buried uncomfortable memories are triggered in the brain before the connecting emotional response is wiped away. You are still left with the memory of the event but you no longer have any emotional attachment to it. Don't worry
for some reason
it doesn't affect positive memories! It may be due to the natural state of the mind and body
for this system of mind/body is always seeking equilibrium and harmony
which tends to lead to feelings of joy and happiness.
Binaural beats is a proven technology that can create brainwave changes which alter your mood and changes the chemical reactions in your body to encourage faster healing and harmonious interaction between cells. However
there is currently research being conducted to determine if these beats can actually direct the brain to reformat DNA encoding. If this is possible the possibilities are almost limitless - decrease in illness
genetic disorders
a reversal of aging etc.
If personal development and self improvement isn't your main aim for investigating binaural beats (and don't want to get younger) then the single recordings designed to induce specific mind/body changes is enough. You can get recordings for an energy boost
meditation
to spark the creative areas of the brain
induce deep sleep and even one that acts like a digital drug!
All these changes happen effortlessly and easily. You will need a place to sit or lie quietly and a good pair of stereo earphones. The recording does the rest.

Oh What A Feeling

So here is the story. I crashed a dirtbike. I know its a short one
but why bore you with details that you really dont need to know? Why is it that when we get power in our hands
we attempt to use it to the fullest. It's as if we will never have it again. Lets get out of that habit
it hurts.
Moving along with the story
I clearly needed some therapy for the injuries that I suffered in the accident. So I went to my physiotherapist and asked her what we should do. We did all the massaging and ultra sounds
and then it happened... We did the acupuncture therapy. OH what a feeling!
Its a little wierd at first
becuase they stick a bunch of needles all over your body. Apperently
every spot on our bodies is connected with some sort of feeling. Clearly
I chose the spots labelled "happy". So I am laying there
needles all over my body
in silence
and i catch myself thinking about childhood memories of playing football with my dad! Our subconscious minds are truly amazing.
Once again though
back to my story. Now
my physiotherapist is located in the heart of downtown Calgary. For those not familiar with Calgary
it's just a city with to much traffic. So I'm in my "happy" state after the therapy
and I'm driving home in rush hour traffic. This is how good acupuncture works - I was in a lineup 3 miles long of traffic
LETTING PEOPLE MERGE!

More chi

More chi! Train harder!
Sifu often encourages his students with the cheer "More chi! Train harder!"
What does this mean?
Chi (also spelled qi) is often translated as "life force." It is similar to what we in the West mean by "energy
but it's much more than that. Chi is the vital force that flows through all things -- humans, animals, plants, rocks, microbes, mountains. Chi connects us to all other things in the universe. It is the source of all spiritual, mental, and physical energy and health. It is dynamic, circulating in us like our blood. It has been compared to electricity flowing through circuits, and to the force flowing around magnetic poles.
When our minds, hearts, and bodies are in harmony and in balance, the chi flows freely, helping us to live beautiful lives. When our lives are out of balance, the chi may be blocked or depleted. Stimulating the correct flow of chi can heal us when we are sick and invigorate us when we are tired.
Chi is the force that gives kung fu masters like Sifu their incredible power. It is through stimulating and guiding the flow of chi that we train and push our bodies to actions we might never have known we could do before. This is why we constantly cheer one another on with the cry
More chi! Train harder!" The more chi you put into your exercises and movements
the harder you are able to train. The harder you train
the more you master your body and its movements
and the more chi you'll have.
Some beginners fear that they'll never be able to master certain stretches or movements. It's not unusual to experience some muscle pain when first performing certain exercises and stretches. A "pulled muscle" is a muscle that's not used to being stretched and worked. In the modern world
we use our legs for so little. We sit all day in our cars
at our desks
on the sofa
watching TV. Now you're suddenly asking your muscles to do some work. It's no wonder they're sore!
The wrong way to respond to that sore muscle is to tense up
physically or mentally. Tension will only block the flow of chi to that muscle.
The right way to respond is to relax your body and your mind
extend your body and your mind
and train harder. Athletes have that saying
No pain, no gain.
That's what "Train harder!" means as well. Don't back away from the work
don't tense up
and certainly don't give up. If you give up on your exercises
you give up on yourself. Have faith and confidence in yourself
and tomorrow the stretch you found difficult will feel easier. The next day
it will be easier still.
Today
think about how you can apply this warrior's attitude to your whole life. The more chi you put into your life
the more you'll get out of your life. When you feel like you just can't face another day of washing and folding the kids' laundry . . . when your boss drops an extra stack of paperwork on your desk an hour before quitting time . . . when you get home exhausted after fighting rush hour and plop down on the sofa
and your son asks you to help him with his math homework. Whatever chores
problems
or responsibilities you face today
don't flinch from them
don't avoid them
don't feel defeated by them. Tackle them head-on. Put more chi into it and get it done. Train harder!

Meditation technique of perception
Posted by
Best-Product
One Answer….for all questions - This too will pass...
This meditation technique is quite different from thje conventional meditation techniques. This technique is actually a contemplation exercise and involves thinking over life. Though people of all age can try this technique
it is basically suitable for people with mature age (I mean 18 & above). The reason is that only those who have lived a certain (substantial) duration of life can reflect back on their past. Very young people who are still in the initial phase of their life are less likely (though not impossible) to analyze their life from the angle which this meditation demands. Nevertheless
this meditation technique is very useful for knowing our true self.
Method:
First read this thought provoking story :-
Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them
" Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation
in every circumstances
in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?"
All wise men got puzzled by King's question. One answer for all question? Something that works everywhere
in every situation? In every joy every sorrow
every defeat and every victory? They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion
an old man suggested something which appeal to all of them. They went to king and gave him something written on paper. But the condition was that king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger
when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way
only then he'll have to see it. The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.
After a few days
the neighbors attack the Kingdom. It was a collective surprise attack of King's enemies. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. King had to fled on his horse. The enemies were following him. His horse took him far away in Jungle. He could hear many troops of horses were following him and the noise was coming closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing in the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it
he would be finished…and he could not return because it was a small road…From back the sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. King became restless. There seemed to be no way.
Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun
and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message. The message was very small but very great.
The message was - " This too will pass."
The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something strike in his mind- Yes ! it too will pass. Only a few days ago
I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today
the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. However when those days of luxuries have gone
this day of danger too will pass. A calm come on his face. He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The revelation of message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forget about those following him. After a few minute he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were not on that path.
The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regain his lost empire. When he returned to his empire after victory
he was received with much fan fare at the door. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being thrown on King from every house
from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to himself
I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me.: With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.
Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again:
This too will pass"
He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.
If this too is going to pass
it is not yours.
The defeat was not yours
the victory is not yours.
You are just a watcher. Everything passes by
We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life come and go. Happiness come and go. Sorrow come and go.
Now as you have read this story
just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent. They all come and pass away. Life just passes away.
There were friends in past. They all have gone.
There are friends today. They too will go.
There will be new friends tomorrow. They too will go.
There were enemies in past. They have gone.
There may be enemy in present. They too will go.
There will be new enemies tomorrow and......they too will go.
There is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks
all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the present
they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away. Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However
there is something in you
which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable ? It is nothing but your true self.
You are just a witness of change. Experience it
understand it.
Everyday for 10-15 minutes sit in silence. Just think over the sentence
This too will pass.
Pondering over your own life will make you realize the true meaning of this sentence. Everything passes yet your real identity remains the same. That real you is your true self. To know that self is true meditation.

it is basically suitable for people with mature age (I mean 18 & above). The reason is that only those who have lived a certain (substantial) duration of life can reflect back on their past. Very young people who are still in the initial phase of their life are less likely (though not impossible) to analyze their life from the angle which this meditation demands. Nevertheless
this meditation technique is very useful for knowing our true self.
Method:
First read this thought provoking story :-
Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them
" Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation
in every circumstances
in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?"
All wise men got puzzled by King's question. One answer for all question? Something that works everywhere
in every situation? In every joy every sorrow
every defeat and every victory? They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion
an old man suggested something which appeal to all of them. They went to king and gave him something written on paper. But the condition was that king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger
when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way
only then he'll have to see it. The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.
After a few days
the neighbors attack the Kingdom. It was a collective surprise attack of King's enemies. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. King had to fled on his horse. The enemies were following him. His horse took him far away in Jungle. He could hear many troops of horses were following him and the noise was coming closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing in the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it
he would be finished…and he could not return because it was a small road…From back the sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. King became restless. There seemed to be no way.
Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun
and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message. The message was very small but very great.
The message was - " This too will pass."
The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something strike in his mind- Yes ! it too will pass. Only a few days ago
I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today
the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. However when those days of luxuries have gone
this day of danger too will pass. A calm come on his face. He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The revelation of message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forget about those following him. After a few minute he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were not on that path.
The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regain his lost empire. When he returned to his empire after victory
he was received with much fan fare at the door. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being thrown on King from every house
from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to himself
I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me.: With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.
Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again:
This too will pass"
He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.
If this too is going to pass
it is not yours.
The defeat was not yours
the victory is not yours.
You are just a watcher. Everything passes by
We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life come and go. Happiness come and go. Sorrow come and go.
Now as you have read this story
just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent. They all come and pass away. Life just passes away.
There were friends in past. They all have gone.
There are friends today. They too will go.
There will be new friends tomorrow. They too will go.
There were enemies in past. They have gone.
There may be enemy in present. They too will go.
There will be new enemies tomorrow and......they too will go.
There is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks
all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the present
they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away. Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However
there is something in you
which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable ? It is nothing but your true self.
You are just a witness of change. Experience it
understand it.
Everyday for 10-15 minutes sit in silence. Just think over the sentence
This too will pass.
Pondering over your own life will make you realize the true meaning of this sentence. Everything passes yet your real identity remains the same. That real you is your true self. To know that self is true meditation.
