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.

I hope you are still with me, since so many just have to hear the word Meditation, and they run for the hills.

They run because sometimes … the thing we need the most is the very thing that we resist.

Can you learn to Meditate right here and now? Well, of course you can.

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.

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.

When beginners first think of meditation, they usually visualize someone sitting cross-legged on the floor for hours – bolt upright and motionless, possibly chanting the eternal humming sound of … Ohhmmmmmmm.

And they say or think to themselves, ‘I could never do that, it’s too uncomfortable!’ And rightly so!

But rest assured, Meditation is not about the physical. It is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the thinking mind – into a deeper state of awareness and relaxation. Anyone can do it!

If you are struggling to bare the pain of pins and needles, or wondering how on earth you are going to get up off the floor when the meditation is over – you are not likely going to float blissfully on a fluffy cloud of relaxation.

So please eliminate any pre-conceived ideas about Meditation and browse the many topics below.

In times long ago, students of meditation dedicated their lives to meditation in the pursuit of spiritual growth. They lived in monasteries and always had a teacher on hand teaching them how to meditate.

As times have changed, this is no longer common, and meditation practice must now integrate into a busy schedule.

There are many different ways to Meditate, even though their goals are similar. It reminds me of the saying, ‘There are many paths to God.’

I believe it is wrong to say that one Meditation Technique / path is better than another, because you are judging a person’s journey, and you don’t know from where they have come.

Their path is perfect for them, as yours is for you.

As such, I will not say that any of the meditation techniques listed below are better than the others. I encourage you to explore the doors that open before you to learn through experience, so you can decide for yourself.

This page gives an overview of the different forms of meditation that exist, with links to more specific information.

Scientists tell us that everything is made up of energy. Ancient cultures have known this for thousands of years.

To speak briefly of the Chinese; their well-developed and proven healing systems are based around even and unencumbered flow of energy. They have detailed maps of Meridians, which are energy pathways around the body.

This energy has intense focal points called Chakras. There are 7 main chakras on the body.

I recall from my childhood driving in the car with my family. It was raining and the sun was just beginning to break through the clouds.

A beautiful rainbow began to form overhead.

As a kid I recall watching cartoons that depicted that, if you ever reached the end of the rainbow you would meet magical elves and faeries and be rewarded with a pot of gold. I would often fantasize about this and one day I tried to reach the end of a rainbow, to no avail. As I walked closer the rainbow got further and further away.

We have created a society that predominately values the outer landscape and has forgotten the inner landscape.

This is slowly changing and one-day society will value the inner landscape again.

We certainly still need the outer landscape, but it needs to be balanced and integrated with the inner landscape.

By turning inward, we begin to understand who we are as a person.

Do you think the caterpillar knows what it will become as it retreats from the world into its cocoon?

Or it is a grand gesture of faith – and it simply trusts that everything will be OK in time?

The reason that I ask is that I have metaphorically been in a cocoon over the last several months and I am wondering what is to come.

When in a state of meditation – our energetic vibration is raised. Our brain resonates and functions with theta brain wave frequencies, which allows us to access both information and healing that we usually can’t access during our day-to-day activities.

But with practice, we become more familiar with this mode of operation, and it becomes much easier to connect with spirit and receive the guidance and healing we need and desire.
