Setting Up A Meditation Room
When designing the perfect meditation room for your own personal use, one must keep in mind that the overall theme will be that of peace and serenity. These two words, though they have the same literal definition, have a decidedly different meaning for everyone. The perfect meditation room for one individual will likely seem slightly flawed to another. To be more precise, one person's idea of serenity may not be another's. One person may connect serenity and peace to sitting on a deserted beach, while another would consider it to be at the heart of a forest at sunset with the sound of hundreds of Crickets chirping. In reference to the perfect peaceful setting, no two individuals are[..]

1. Find a quiet secluded place to meditate. It is best to meditate at the same place every day. This enables you to build up a "meditative" atmosphere. If you can have a room just for meditation this is ideal. However in practise this is likely to be difficult, instead a small corner of a room could be set aside. This location for meditation should be kept clean and beautiful. However flowers and candles will inspire you to enter into a meditative consciousness. If you have a Teacher or Master you might like to keep their picture on your shrine. 2. When meditating it is best to meditate with a straight back and the spine straight. There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly if you[..]

Part Two - Benefits and Affects In Part one of this series on Meditation we looked at understanding what meditation means in terms of our daily lives. What I hope became clear to you is the necessity to quiet the mind and the importance of coming from your own internal strength, as opposed to living your life according to only what's happening outside of you.

Meditation can be unique for every person, some choose to hear music, sing, chant, and others just want to relax quietly and rest their minds and muscle groups. Most of the people that use guided mediation CDs are searching for a way to get rid of some sort of discomfort. Medication sometimes lacks to present people the pain relief they are searching for.

There is constantly a outcome with the CDs, the cause for[..]
We have all been faced with times when life seems like his getting the best of us and we just need a few minutes to try and calm ourselves down and get re-focused on the task at hand.

Binaural Beats For Meditation - Why it Works
Have you ever wondered why people use binaural beats for meditation? Psychological researches on the human brain deduce that although the mood is an internal state, it is influenced significantly by various external factors present in the environment. Music can thus trigger particular thought processes. You may have probably noticed how kids tend to drop off inhibitions when during a rock concert and how angst-driven music tends to trigger or amplify teenage rebellion. Imagine taking this possibility to alleviate negative energies in the thought. We are talking here of calming the brain wave activities to remove emotions such as depression, anger, anxiety, and the like. What are binaural[..]

Meditation: The Best Remedy for High Blood...
I had a routine physical examination recently and the doctor was impressed with my blood pressure. Why? Because it was not too high like it is in many of the other people she sees every day. When she learned that I was a vegetarian, she became interested, making a connection between vegetarianism and controlled blood pressure. But the real secret for my good showing on the blood pressure examination has as much to do with meditation, as it does with my vegetarian diet. Meditation is the best remedy, the best "medicine" for high blood pressure and heart disease, and I haven't missed a day in the last 37 years. Why is meditation so effective against one of the biggest health problems of[..]
Using a Mantra in Meditation
If you were to travel into deep space, and hold a microphone up to the Universe, you would record to constant sound of 'Aum'. This sound is the essential vibration of the cosmos. Aum is the stereotypical sound of Buddhist monks in meditation, but its use is more widespread than that. Aum does not have a literal translation, but when used in meditation it is very powerful in its capacity to quiet your mind and connect you with your Essence or Inner Spirit. Both written words and the sounds they make, have an energy (especially when paired with intent). So a mantra is any word or phrase used as the focal point of a meditation, and has the power to catalyze a shift into deeper, more[..]

Bill Harris Has Made Meditation an Art and...
One of the best decisions I have ever made was to use my love of writing as the perfect medium to not only build my business on, but to use as the perfect excuse to feed my curious, naturally inquisitive nature as well. I have a ferocious hunger for understanding anything that is put in front of me that even slightly peaks my interest. I am so passionate about acquiring as much information as I can attain, sufficient to say, Science -Particularly the field of Physics (there are 16 separate disciplines by the way!) gets my complete and full attention - every time - without any exception. That being said, investigating Bill Harris's story and researching his back ground was one of my real[..]

All my clients meditate - some more than others - but all of them, at least some of the time. What kind of people are they - these meditators? Mainly business people - a lot of CEOs, Directors, General Managers - but a lot of ordinary, everyday people too - people just like you and I. Some of them meditated long before they ever met me - but most of them admit that, whilst they felt good whilst meditating, it didn't make a massive difference to the cut and thrust of their everyday lives. So - two questions: What's the point of meditating if it makes no difference to your everyday life? And, if it makes no difference, why do my clients meditate? Answering the first question's easy.[..]
When you meditate successfully your brainwaves change - they change from Beta waves, into an Alpha frequency. If you struggle to meditate at all - if you find it hard to slow your thoughts down and to calm the talking and dialect within your mind then you are struggling to cross the line into this Alpha state. This is where.. The Secret Weapon Can Help You The secret weapon I am referring to is the use of binaural beats.

When it Comes to Stress Relief, Meditation is...
Regular readers know I typically disdain the idea of viewing meditation primarily through the lens of stress relief, but any discussion that doesn't include this topic is necessarily incomplete. When it comes to mitigating the pressure cooker symptoms of modern life, there is very little that compares to a contemplative practice. There are a number of goals one might pursue through meditation: making changes in your behavior set, analyzing the many assumptions which make up your world view, or generally advancing your ability to relate to your spiritual reality. Some of these can be pretty demanding, requiring the contemplative to grapple with weighty concerns. Using meditation as an[..]

Mythbusters - Meditation is Not For Christians!
"It's New Age...opening your mind to Satan...Catholic...dangerous." The myths about meditation are many, and they can be a real concern to committed Christians. Should you be worried?

Guided Meditation - The Best Approach
Meditation is easy to understand and practice and the benefits are enormous, but choosing the right approach and learning which techniques will work best for you, can't be determined by reading a book or magazine, or listening to a CD etc. If you go this route and decide to give it a try, the chances are that you won't get anything like the results you're looking for, and it won't be long before you consider it a waste of time and call it a day. This has nothing to do with the way in which the information's presented (although obviously it makes a difference) - it's to do with going it alone, and not having anyone to guide you, work with your feedback, or provide insight and[..]
When we meditate we take a prime thought and choose to identify with it. We generally choose a natural creation that appeals to us so that we can attune to its energies. So, through a focus on things of nature and natural forms, we seek to expand our understanding of the vital creative energies of Nature behind the outer forms and apparent purposes. This particular exercise in meditation is based upon the lengthy process of natural forces at work over aeons in creating diamonds. The diamond crystals are formed in the earth from carbon in the normal slow evolutionary process that takes millions of years to transform basic black carbon into the pure crystal gemstone that, when faceted, can[..]
There is sometimes a hesitancy to accept that if we are aspiring to grow and to extend our knowledge and our personal experience we are each embarking upon an inner adventure that will lead inevitably to new experiences. Depending upon our attitude we approach these with trepidation or with some anticipation of excitement in new discoveries. A philosophy that looks to spiritual development as a path to greater love, clarity and truth can only lead us to experiences of love, greater comprehension and insight. A gentle approach to meditation naturally brings simple, wholesome and helpful inner experiences but never through deliberate seeking for sensation. The following personal accounts[..]
