There are four Brain-Wave Patterns in which we can function. Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.

Please click Meditation Explained if you wish to know the background information for this article.

Briefly; You experience Beta brain-wave patterns in engaging activities like when you are driving or working. (Anxiety and Stress are experienced at the top end of this Beta range).

Alpha patterns occur when you are more relaxed and brain activity has slowed. (e.g. Watching television, reading a book).

Theta brain-waves are most commonly encountered in dreams, or at moments of deep insight. And the slowest state,

Delta, occurs in deep, deep sleep, or by the masters while in meditation.

Meditation can be used for many things, including; Increased connection with your true-self, to reduce stress, for spiritual growth, to calm a busy mind, for creative inspiration… and for Healing.

Self-healing in Meditation can be very powerful, with many individuals using it to overcome pain, dysfunction and disease. Medical research is lagging far behind the accepted benefits from those who have experienced its power first hand, but as it’s an individual experience, what a doctor tells you what will and won’t work is irrelevant.

When meditating with healing in mind, it is important to set your intent before you begin. It clarifies your purpose, gives direction to your practice, and lets the universe know what you want to achieve.

Let’s try something more Traditional … because Amazing things can happen on a personal level when practicing meditation in its simplest form.

No guide to walk you through the process… No music to keep you focused. This is how meditation was practiced in the early days. With focus on an object, mantra or breath… or no focus at all.

I do not believe any one form of meditation is superior to another. They are all beautiful in themselves. True, some people have a better experience with a specific method – but that choice is personal – not universal.  I do encourage the exploration of all forms, even if you have a favorite.

Imagine a child in a 40 flavors Ice-Cream shop trying to convince everyone that chocolate is better than the rest. When asked how many of the 40 flavors he had tried, he answered ‘one’.

Just the other day I got in a Fight!

I was out near my Worm Farm, transplanting a few cherry tomato seedlings when it all began.

I had a bag of potting mix between my knees, both hands full of dirt and BAMMO!

One of the neighbor’s bees lined me up and took me down with one hit (but not before I squealed hysterically, ran in circles and threw dirt everywhere).

I was stung on the top of my cheek, just below my right eye. I was home alone and a little worried about the effects, as I had been stung on my foot a few years previous and my whole leg swelled. Luckily, this time, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation saved a disaster. My face did swell a little – but only enough to cut some vision and make me look a little chubby. But the worst thing of all – It hurt when I smiled.

I recently had the opportunity to ‘get away’. Some people think I’m crazy when I tell them, but yes, I went camping by myself.

No I didn’t get bored, I wasn’t scared and I wasn’t worried about the many things that could have gone wrong. It was 4 days and three nights of bliss.

I love my computer and the many wonderful things it can do, but no achievement by man has come close to the efforts of Mother Nature. She combines a million factors in balance and no where is the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth more apparent.

For some of you the perfect holiday may be sitting beside a pool on a deck chair ordering a few fancy drinks. And don’t get me wrong – that would be lovely too, but let me tell you quickly about the Bunya Mountains.

Using a meditation cushion when you meditate can be a great way to enhance your practice.

Sarah Neil is a mentor and friend who runs a weekly spiritual development circle.

It starts with a bite to eat and general conversation, moves into specific discussion and psychic exercises, and we finish with a meditation.

When the lights dim and she says, ‘get ready’, we all scamper to assume the position that suits us best.

To explain Meditation we should start with the Definition. But even that is not as easy as it sounds.

Because Meditation has been around for thousands of years, and is interwoven throughout the different cultures and religions of the world, one definition to keep everyone happy is a task indeed!

But we have to make a start, so; Meditation is ‘A mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive ‘thinking’ mind – into a deeper state of relaxation.‘

The above statement is the desire – or process of Meditation.

The benefits have been ‘felt’ for thousands of years, but now science has evolved to ‘prove’ what is actually happening.

We live in a busy world. There is never enough time!

Our priority lists start with the necessities such as family, work, cleaning and eating, and only when we juggle or sacrifice do we find the time for hobbies, personal development and dare I say it, Relaxation. And by relaxation I don’t mean sitting on the couch mindlessly flicking the remote.

Physical and Mental relaxation is vital to a balanced and healthy life. Effective relaxation must be one of your priorities!

But you are busy, I know, I know … So let’s focus on a solution – ‘How to relax, in a busy world‘.

Let me introduce you to Guided Meditation. And don’t shy away on reading the word ‘meditation‘ drawing from your pre-conceived ideas. You don’t need to sit still for hours, and you don’t need to completely silence your mind.

Guided meditation is easy, and the benefits are instant!

Learn How Easy Meditation Can Be

The secret benefits of Meditation are the subtle effects that happen quietly in the background without your conscious awareness.

The first term I will introduce is Homeostasis. (Just read it slowly and that is how it is meant to sound)

Homeostasis is when the different systems of the body work together to regulate the optimal conditions for you internal function. And to put that more simply… it’s the body striving for ‘balance’.

Now, the body is made up of 11 major organ systems. I will run through them here to give you a better idea of the complexities involved in this process. (1) Integumentary (skin), (2) skeletal, (3) muscular, (4) nervous, (5) endocrine (hormones), (6) circulatory, (7) lymphatic (disease defence), (8) respiratory, (9) digestive, (10) urinary, and (11) reproductive.

Every second of your existence is monitored and continual adjustments are made to each and every system.

Yes, the Human body is Amazing!
