‘Empty Mind’ is the primary goal of most meditation programs.

Once you are able to hold the state of no thought, it becomes possible to focus your mind indefinitely on one point.

You become able to enter higher meditations easily and remain in them.

Buddhists call empty mind meditation Vipassana, or Anapanasati. They devote themselves to years, sometimes an entire lifetime, of dedicated practice to achieve the state where thoughts disappear completely or no longer arise.

Practicing regular meditation can be extremely beneficial.

It is a safe and simple way to balance your physical, emotional and mental states.

Spiritually, meditation enables one to attain higher states of consciousness, allowing a greater sense of awareness and connection to spirit. And often, solutions to problems and insights in your life are realised during meditation.

The Fast Track to Realization

Using your mind to circulate subtle energy through yourself can bring you to enlightenment in this lifetime. This is the fast track.

---

Raja Yoga and Vajrayana Buddhism both use this method.

First… you receive an initiation from a teacher that tunes your energy system to a particular energy frequency. You immediately become able to do the same meditation as your teacher!

Then… you do the practices that your teacher gives you. Doing your practice anchors the precious gift from your teacher in you, and it also enables you to keep deep meditation states permanently. Your entire energy system opens, clears and grows very fast.

Crystals are timeless creations of the mineral kingdom. They store and amplify energy and assist with healing the human body, on an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual level.
Crystals assist with connecting us to the realm of spirit, and our higher self, and work to strengthen these connections. Each crystal is unique and contains certain properties to help balance our chakras and aid in physical healing and wellbeing.

The guided meditations on this album, guide you to work with crystals in different ways to facilitate your own healing, intuition and spiritual growth.

In these meditations we will be working with readily available crystals that are easy to obtain.
I will be taking you on a special journey into the inner earth where there are massive caverns of crystal formations and healing temples.
We will be merging our consciousness with the crystal skulls to receive insight, knowledge and healing.
We will be working with your chakras to bring balance to your mind, body and spirit.
This Package gives you the opportunity to embrace the crystalline age, (also known as the golden age).
I sincerely hope you like these guided meditations. Brad Austen.

Who is not stressed-out in today’s world?

People who are practicing a relaxation technique, that’s who.

There are many choices, but my personal favorite is Meditation.

Learn how to De-Stress in Minutes

When the mind begins to wander, a person can become very distracted. This not only makes it more difficult for them to deal with their everyday responsibilities, it can also lead to profound unhappiness.

A distracted mind is unable to focus on the present moment, making it difficult to enjoy anything fully.

Two of the most common mental disorders, anxiety and depression, are characterized by an inability to keep one’s focus on the present.

Excessive ruminating on the past is a common symptom of depression, while looking to the future with dread is the basis of anxiety.

Fortunately, basic meditation techniques can help individuals overcome these types of mental problems.

Living your life is a very easy thing – but the challenge … is to live a balanced life.

A balanced life is living with peace in each element of your existance; Career, family, social, etc. – with each element of your being; mental, physical and spiritual.

A balanced life is necessary for personal effectiveness, mental peace and living well. We all have responsibilities; whether we are working, going to school, or retired. And while dealing with those responsibilities, we will face many troubles and possibly get frustrated. So to get rid of that frustration and stressful energy we must do proactive things to keep us in balance.

You may have previously heard the saying that ‘life is a game’ – and come to realize that everyone plays a different role in the drama of life.

While we are in the game, it feels very real and sometimes hard to detach ourselves from it emotionally.

Throughout our sojourns as a spirit pretending to be human, we experience many roles. We do this to expand our awareness and experience as a spirit and to evolve.

Meditation can be a great tool to learn to silence one’s mind to hear the soft whispers of spirit. Spirit is always there to help guide us in our life, but it is often subtle and easy to ignore.

Childbirth is a notoriously painful process, and there are many methods for managing that pain and the attendant anxiety that many women feel during labor and delivery. Some choose pain medications, while others choose natural methods such as breathing techniques, massage, and warm baths.

Meditation during labor and delivery is also particularly beneficial for managing pain and for encouraging an easier birthing process overall. Though the chaotic image of a typical delivery room may not seem compatible with the tranquility and focus of most meditation practices, meditation during childbirth actually has many benefits.

Self-Realization and the Basic Formation of our Subtle Body

As you all know… Meditation is very important in our daily routine to keep us in balance.

As we need to eat three times daily to provide energy to our body, similarly, meditation is the food of our soul. It provides energy to our soul and also makes our path clearer to ascend on a higher path.
Learn of the Relationship between the Subtle Body and Self Realization

Sahaja Yoga was invented by H.H. Nirmala Devi in 1970. It is a form of ‘Self-Realization’ yoga based on the seven energy centers of our body, called Chakras.

Through meditation, the flow of cosmic energy in our body continuously increases, providing energy to these energy centers.

Let’s look at each of the Chakras and their natural qualities:

The fast pace of life has made people increasingly susceptible to stress, as a result of the continuous pulls and pressures of a hectic lifestyle.

Chasing money and materialistic possessions has an adverse impact on the mental well-being of a person. To add to the existing stress, technology and gadgets have made information available at all times at all places thus adding to stress instead of being a facilitator.

To reduce this stress and tensions, one should start doing meditation. It relaxes the body, mind and spirit.

So, let’s start from the basics.

My spiritual Journey has introduced me to some amazing people around the world, and today I want to take you to South Africa. I was introduced to Doug Hoseck by our mutual friend Haroun Kola (who I originally knew from ‘Yoga South Africa’). It’s probably easiest for Doug to introduce himself

“Hi. I first encountered ‘brainwave entrainment’ because my son was labeled ADD. We refused to give him any kind of drugs and went looking for alternatives. We found someone locally who was doing brainwave entrainment for ADD children. My son went to 6 sessions and we have seen enormous change. The effects were so immediate I was amazed. I started learning everything I could about it. Then I started playing with some awesome software. I needed meditation tracks for myself, so I created them. I found the meditations I was creating, with embedded isochronic tones, were particularly powerful.”

With some encouragement from Haroun, Doug has gathered all of his meditation creations and created an amazing web-presence called The Light Stream. These Meditations for the Soul are the Easy Way to Inner Peace, Happiness and Boundless Love for Life.

Did you know it takes the average person just 7 minutes to fall asleep?
7 MINUTES! Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

But if it takes you a lot longer than that, and you wish you could nod-off easily, and you crave nothing more than a good night’s sleep to restore your sanity … you have probably already tried the obvious suggestions;

• Avoid caffeine late in the day
• Ensure regular exercise is part of your week
• Get into a regular bedtime routine
• Drink a warm cup of milk before bed

But what if you’ve tried them all and they haven’t worked?
