Meditation is great for calming your mind and enabling you to relax after a stressful day. There are many forms of meditation some that you can do in seconds and some that you can do longer.
*****
Meditation also increases your ability to learn and makes you more intuitive. It is amazing how it gives you mental clarity and increases your intelligence. You will become more creative, calmer, more in control of your actions and will feel happier. It will also enable you to solve problems easier, whether they are small problems or big problems, meditation helps you think through them and resolve them easier.
*****
Meditation also gives you more energy, this is because you become less stressed and therefore more alert. It also improves your health as it not only regulates your breathing but also your natural healing hormones.
Meditation is now common in large organisations as it has been proven that when you meditate, your stress levels go down and your ability to think goes up.
*****
Some people like guided meditations that they can listen to and that help them relax. There are also subliminal meditations. These usually have calming music and either, someone giving commands in the background that goes straight to your sub-conscious mind, or some have subliminal messages that flash across your screen while you look at pictures. You are not required to read the messages as your sub-conscious mind will pick them up.
*****
Your conscious mind is the part that you use most of the time, it is your argumentative mind, the sub-conscious mind is unable to argue, so it easily accepts what it is told.
*****
A lot of the things that you think about your self are untrue but they were repeated to you over and over again by the people who had the most influence in your life when you were young, i.e. your teacher, your parents, other children.
Maybe you were told that you were stupid because you did something silly, later on someone else told you the same thing, so your conscious mind has heard it before and you then think this must be true because someone said it before. Now you believe yourself to be stupid, but you are not, everyone does something stupid in their lives, does that mean everyone is stupid? No of course not.
*****
Meditation helps you work out who you are and get rid of negative feelings about yourself. Once you can release these negative feelings you will see how unique you really are.
Study some of the richest and most successful people and you will find that they all use some form of meditation. They use it to improve their lives. You can improve your life too and you will feel healthier and happier and more in control.

Meditation has been used throughout the centuries to calm the nerves and relieve stress and anxiety. Meditation been used as a major factor in many different religions,from The Mayens, the Inca’s, Buddhism and Hinduism. There are now hundreds of different forms of meditation being used. It was mainly used in places like Asia. Shaman monks used mediatation as a way to achieve a trance-like -state.

It is reported that in order to become a Shaman, the student monk was taken to an icy river at night, he had to remove his garments and a blanket was soaked in the icy waters and wrapped around his body. The student had to meditate until he could control the temperature of his body and dry the blanket with the heat from his body. This process was performed several times throughout the night in order for the student to pass the test.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced Transcendental Meditation to the western world in 1959. He revived it from its ancient form and made it more accessable to modern day people.

By the mid 1990′s in excess of 180,000 people in Great Britain alone were using these techniques to not only relieve their stress but also to change their lives. TM requires that whilst sittiing comfortably you use a mantra to achieve a state of awareness called “restful alertness”. The idea is that you use this mantra to clear your mind of all negative and unnecessary thoughts.

In different states of awareness the brain displays different types of electrical activity and this electrical output can be recorded in wave patterns on machines. There is Beta brainwaves which are recorded as 14-30hz and these are charactistic of a busy working day. most of us are in the Beta stage most of the time. Meditation slows the mind down and helps to maintain Alpha brainwaves which usually record 8-13hz. These waves and more associated with calmness and relaxation. Then there is Theta which records at 4-7hz and is usually achieved when you are in a state of drowsiness ie; just before you go to sleep.

Meditation produces a state of deep relaxation , which in turn lowers your heart rate and decreases the level of oxygen consumption. With continual practice it will also lower your blood pressure.

Research has shown that stress is a key factor in a very wide variety of modern day illnesses. By using meditation we can cope a lot better with these illnesses and more often than not cure them ourselves without the need for medication.

The Eastern world have used meditation for centuries and incorporated them into martial arts. Martial arts are not designed as a way of fighting but as a way of controlling your mind and your body. They are to bring the mind and body into complete harmony and when you achieve this harmony you will combat stress and live a more controlled and relaxed life.

Some people use subliminal messages to help them achieve a state of meditation. These are becoming more and more popular. You put on an audio cd and sit quietly and listen to the suggestions which take you into a state of complete relaxation. You can now get dvd’s that have pictures or symbols on that you concentrate on and whilst concentrating the hidden messages are flashed on and off the screen, somethimes you are not aware of the messages but they help you relax.
Different people use different forms of meditation and there is not a right one or wrong one. You should try several and decide which one suits you best.

Many athletes and sports people use visualisation within their training program. When Roger Bannister ran the four minute mile, he used visualisation to train and he ran the mile in his head several times before he actually put one foot on the track. Many professional golfers visualise their game before they even get near the green.
*****
A lot of us think that we are no good at visualisation and yet we use it every day of our lives. If you are one of the non-believers lets just try a little experiment. Do you have a car? What colour is your car? what make is it? How many doors does it have? Is the steering wheel on the left or the right hand side? Now did you have to go out to your car or look through a window to know the answer to these questions. No! you saw it in your mind, the chances are you see your car every day and know it inside out. Take the same principle and see whatever you desire in your minds eye, hold the image, give it life, touch it, smelit, taste it, use all your senses to give it life and the more often you visualise it the quicker you will attract it into your life.
*****
If you really have a desire to change your life, try visualisation for yourself, after all what have you got to lose?
*****
Everything that has been invented in the world, first existed in someone’s imagination before it was ever manufactured.
From the smallest pencil to the biggest building.

Napoleon Hill in his famous book “Think and grow rich” is famed for saying “whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” Many people have said that this is rubbish but it has been proven over and over again. Scientists and theologists now agree that this is the truth.
*****
This is not a new concept it has been used since the beginning of time.
*****
When you build the picture in your mind, you have to stick fast to it, no matter how bad things seem to get you must not get disheartened. Hold that image and keep building on the image, refuse to accept anything different and you will get it and more. Most people give up at the first hurdle and start doubting themselves, and the more they doubt the more they lose.
*****
Think of it like this, if your washing machine suddenly started spilling water out of the pipes, you would have to get a mop and start mopping up the water. Do you expect to mop up the water with one single stroke of the mop? No of course you don’t, you would have to keep wringing the mop out and mopping again. Eventually though the water would be gone and the floor would be dry. When you started mopping what was the purpose? The purpose was you wanted to dry the floor. You have now achieved your purpose, by carrying out a few small actions.
*****
That is another key to this secret, once you decide what you truly want, you build it by visualisation and then take inspired steps to achieve it. Do not worry how you will get it, you will soon find the way as long as you do not give up.
You will find that opportunities will soon appear and your goal will be reached.
