Easy Ways To Meditate - Anytime. Anywhere

Posted by on September 11, 2009

If you want the many benefits of meditation but don’t have time to incorporate long sessions into your day, consider a few easy ways to meditate wherever you happen to be. Whether you need to collect your thoughts in the car before going into a stressful meeting or you just need an energy boost mid-day, there is a way to put meditation to work for you.

The two most important aspects of meditation are your breathing and posture. Everything else can be adjusted to the circumstances you find yourself in, but you have to pay attention to these two elements when you meditate.

For starters, get into the most comfortable position possible. If you are at work or in another situation where being alone is not realistic, you can sit in a chair and relax all the muscles of your body so you feel a release of tension. This may take some concentration on certain muscle groups at first.

Your posture must be upright with your head held high. Focus on straightening your spine so you sit up tall, roll your shoulders back and relax so that the air can pass easily through your body. Your eyes should close or focus straight ahead, sort of narrowed in just a little.

Counting as you breathe will ensure that you get a slow, deliberate pattern that controls your air flow for maximum results. One simple pattern is to inhale as you slowly count to eight, then hold it while you count to eight again, and release to a count of eight.

The process of straightening the spine and controlling your breathing with your eyes focused is the foundation of simple meditation. You can include a word or sound that is motivating or relaxing for you, even if you cannot speak it out loud. Either repeat over and over throughout your breathing or just use it at the top of your breath before you hold and exhale.

You can use these easy ways to meditate literally anywhere. It can be changed up according to your situation and positions available, and others do not have to know what you are doing.

The Silva Method - Promoting The Power Of Positive Thinking

Posted by on September 11, 2009

The Silva Method was created by Jose Silva in the 1970s. He developed a series of mental and physical exercises designed to get the mind and body to work together to improve one’s life. It uses meditation, visualization and positive thinking to promote an overall sense of peace and harmony within a person. This peace and harmony within you means that you can focus all of your energy on accomplishing your goals.

Silva believes that each human being has two parts, a physical part that interacts with the world around it and a spiritual part that interacts with the unseen world both within and without. By teaching his followers how to tap into unused areas of their brain and body, he shows them how to get the two parts of themselves to work together. This leads to overall harmony in one’s life.

By teaching their mind and body to work for each other instead of against each other, people who use the Silva Method increase their energy levels and boost their self image. This gives them the inner strength to aggressively go after the things that they want. Being able to accomplish their life goals improves their overall outlook on life.

Since the way a person feels about themselves often affects the way that others see them, users of this method often benefit from improved relationships with family and friends. This strengthened support system leads to the likelihood of even more self improvement.

The Silva Method teaches people how to think positively about themselves and the world around them. Positive thinking can be very powerful. If you can go into any situation with the belief that there is a possible positive outcome then you are more likely to find that positive outcome. By getting the mind and body to work in concert this technique gives the user the power to strive for success in every endeavor.

Using Sublliminal Technology to Recondition Your Subconscious Mind For Success

Posted by on September 11, 2009

The subconscious mind is a wonderful thing, especially when we are young. In Freudian terms, the pre-conscious mind of a child is a simple blank template that is awaiting instruction and the only instruction that they have is the experiences that they have and the lessons that they learn from their primary care givers. A child has very limited awareness, and also their conscious defenses of rational thought and critical thinking are pretty limited, because they are at a stage of learning that is extremely fresh. They have no inkling of rationality or critical thought, and they depend on their parents to teach them.

For example, a child has no time to understand that walking over a ledge is dangerous, they do not have the experiences nor the sensory instruction to be able to assess that it is dangerous. The subconscious mind does not have any awareness of this thus the child cannot differentiate between what is wrong and what is right. Depending on the things we have seen or what we have been taught during our early years, our mind has become positioned and conditioned to certain perceptions and behaviours. Our developmental years are the crucial years of everyone’s life because that is when our mind is developed.

Our conscious mind becomes fully developed as we reach adulthood and by that time, the sub conscious mind no longer plays the important role. The critical faculties are up and fully loaded. Rational thinking and self assessment means there is very little emotional based learning to be done, except in cases of serious trauma where the emotion and impact is so great and so sudden, the mind is left open due to a potent mixture of terror, fear and depression. For the most of us, the mind has been conditioned to allow us to go through life a survivor, but not a fighter. Millions of us are content to follow the rules and do our job, going home in the end of the day with no ambition or desire for success.

These things will determine the levels of success that we will be experiencing 1, 2 maybe even 5 years down the road. With the introduction of subliminal technology, we can now easily re condition our mind for better success in life. This technology does the very thing that we cannot, reach past the defenses of the conscious mind with the use of embedded technology and slight of hand stimulation, and implants messages and influences directly in the subconscious. Doing this regularly will help to reprogram the mind and instill the positive values that are necessary for us to do things beyond our initial capability. The good news is - this technology is widely available online and you can order and download one just as easy as you might buy a book or a calendar online.

So why wait? It might just change your life for the better.
