Mindfulness Meditation

Equipping individuals to deal with stressful situations by accepting them and being aware of them, Mindfulness Meditation is an effective and miraculous technique of meditation against life’s problems and situations.

True, stress, anger, disappointments, frustrations, and other negative emotions adversely affect our minds and even bodies. Such negative emotions and actions should be dealt effectively and set-backs should be accepted without injuring our health. Mindfulness Meditation is that medicine which helps to deal with negative emotions and situations in the most effective manner.

Mindfulness Meditation, also referred to as Insightful Meditation, requires or allows individuals to be aware of their surroundings, to develop a sense of sensitivity in perceiving every moment, and enabling them to accept stressful situations, instead of avoiding them. By being aware of the inner state of our minds during Mindfulness Meditation, we can accept difficult situations in our lives without much resistance.

Through the practice of Meditation, we can train our minds to achieve a state of tranquility, without being disturbed by outside forces. Mindfulness Meditation helps in training and developing the strengths of the mind to achieve this peacefulness.

One can practice Mindfulness Meditation by sitting in an appropriate upright position, cross-legged, and focusing on our breath or anything else, such as mental and physical processes which help us in becoming aware of our present thought patterns and inner state.

The practice of Mindfulness Meditation focuses our attention on our thoughts, actions, and present moments non-judgmentally. It does not encourage evaluating or thinking on our past actions and neither does it take our thoughts to the uncertain future. Mindfulness Meditation helps and trains our mind from getting distracted by outside disturbances and enables us to focus our thoughts and relax the mind.

Mindfulness Meditation can be conducted or practiced through informal and formal techniques. While formal Mindfulness Meditation involves Yoga, in which there is a control and awareness of breathing patterns with appropriate body movements, informal Mindfulness Meditation includes taking into account each experience in life with relish and enjoyment.

Mindfulness Meditation is a technique of introspection or insight through which we can obtain a clear picture of our thoughts and inner states, focus our thoughts, and even train our mind to perceive things and situations more effectively.

Be a light to others and you wont stumble on your own path. Practice meditation for one minute every hour will enhance the quality of your life and those around you.

" Sometimes, hope is what makes us smile.
Other times, a smile is what can bring us hope. "

The Ancient Prophesy

The Eskimo-Kalaallit people have a prophecy that when the once rock-hard glaciers become so soft that you could leave a handprint on them, this would be a sign that Mother Earth is in profound turmoil.

Sirmiq Aattuq means melting the ice in the heart of man. Angaangaq, keeper of the drum of the Eskimo-Kalaallit people, teaches us that unless we learn to grow up to our spiritual responsibility and become worthy of that, we cannot learn to melt the ice in our hearts and the hearts of those around us. If we learn to make a difference in our world, we then make a difference in the world for times and times to come.

Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man is a teaching from the Eskimo-Kalaallit people, a peaceful culture thousands of years old that has never known war. It summons us to bridge the distance from our minds to our hearts through strength and gentleness; through compassion and love; through courage and grace, bringing about personal transformation and global healing for the times to come.

The time has come to unite our voices and our hearts, to walk our spiritual paths with practical feet, to restore the balance that’s been missing on the earth. We cannot wait. Through our Healing Circles, we create experiences that empower us to live more compassionately, transforming our world one life at a time, melting the ice in the heart of man.

Healing Meditation

I sit in a comfortable position
And I begin to feel my mind relaxing
I forget the past
And my imagined future
Now it is time to focus
On my own well being
And I visualize myself stepping out of my physical body
And feel my self being up above
And looking down on my physical body
And I begin to feel myself
Radiating a healing golden light
To myself
And I focus this golden light onto my heart
And I now feel this light radiating
And following the heart thru to all the veins and arteries
And I visualize this golden light
Going to the heart and filling Every vein with golden healing light
And I feel and see this golden healing light flowing through every part of my physical body
And everywhere that this light touches it is healing and rejuvenating
and it feels very positive
It is cleaning away toxins and injecting new life and energy
Into my physical body
Because I love my self
And I want to experience health and happiness
And now I focus in on the stomach
And I send a golden green light
To relax and heal the stomach
And I see the light being absorbed
Into the body
And becoming light energy
And filling the body with this golden green light
And it is transforming the light into energy
My body is filled with this golden energy
And healing every part of my being
And my body is filled with this golden healing light
And now I send blue light
To all the other organs
And I feel this blue light
Healing them and filling my body with this beautiful relaxing blue light
And I talk to this body filled wit blue golden light and I say
That I care for you, and I will heal you
Because I love you
Because you are the chariot for my soul
And with this blue golden light it removes all
Toxins and any negative energies
And I see my body as being healthy
In the present and in the future
And I radiate out this blue golden healing light
To the whole world
And wish good health and happiness from me to every person in the world

Meditation on Positive Thinking

I sit relaxed
And begin to harness the power of my mind
For this meditation
We will allow the natural thoughts To flow
I have a thought that I am a peaceful positive being
I create the thought that I am a positive individual
And I maintain positive thoughts in every situation
I seek solutions to problems
And I focus in on the answers And not on the problems
I constantly fill my mind with positive powerful thoughts
I focus to replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts
So that the light of positive thinking empowers me
These real thoughts bring a good feeling in my mind
I am a powerful positive being
I am a being of light
And as light I am carefree
As light I am beyond the dramas and chaos of those around me
My only important task is to be powerful in positive thinking
When I have tension I am creating positive thoughts
I do not experience any tension
I am positive powerful being of light
I am an eternal being of light
Any thought that is negative I let it pass
And keep the shining powerful mindset in place
I constantly generate positive powerful thoughts
Positive powerful thoughts are those of an eternal nature
They are who I really am
Just an eternal wonderful, radiant being
Of positive energy
And in this light my positive mindset cannot be shaken
By any adverse or negative situation that is around me
For I am the lighthouse
Shining within the storm of negativity of the world
But this powerful light I will forever keep ignited
And I let love be the eternal oil
That fuels this eternal flame of light
And a love to keep myself eliminated
By this meditation
That I will forever practice.

Hope you enjoy this positive thinking meditation

Meditation - A Higher State Of Alertness

12-07-2007

An Australian professor from the Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, Dylan DeLosAngeles has revealed research that indicates that although meditators might look like they're asleep, in fact they are in a higher state of alertness than when normal.

Professor Dylan DeLosAngeles recorded the results from a group of 13 meditators who practiced a Buddhist variety of meditation. That meditation practice teaches people to enter several separate states of consciousness.

Both prior to the study and after it he got the participants to report their experiences while moving through five states of consciousness.

In the first stage, the participants focused their mind on breathing. In the second stage, they breathed but had no thoughts. In the third stage, they went beyond normal awareness of their bodies and lost their orientation in space. In the fourth stage, their thought and breath became the same and in the fifth stage, the participants experienced a mental expansion into space.

Using an electroencephalograph, professor DeLosAngeles recorded brain activity. He said: "We were able to correlate the changes in certain brainwaves against the changes is subjective experience." DeLosAngeles noted that each stage had a different brain wave tendency.

In the first stage, Alpha waves increased and then gradually subsided as the meditators progressed through the different stages. Alpha waves are connected with being alert, attentive and concentrated. The gradual decline in Alpha waves is believed to be due to the fact that the meditators did not need to make the same level of effort as the alert state had become natural by then.

Professor DeLosAngeles said "There are a lot of subjective reports of meditation benefiting subjects on a personal level," and "I wanted to try and quantify some of that and look at how that was changing the brain on a neurophysiological level."

At the end of July, in Melbourne professor DeLosAngeles will present his research at the IBRO World Congress of Neuroscience.
