Are you aware of a dominant feeling that runs like an
undercurrent through your life?
Or maybe it's more of a subtle background state that
seems to color everything that you say, do, and feel?
Maybe it's a persistent feeling that you have when you
wake up in the morning? ...
(For example, you might feel a constant pressure to be
busy and get things done. You might feel anxious about
what the day might bring. You might feel confused or
depressed about your prospects and possibilities.)
What if you could feel peaceful, positive, and clear?
Let me show you three simple ways you can bring that
soothing power into your life.
How you feel in your life has a lot to do with what's going
on in your head. If you constantly hear thoughts telling
you that "Life is a struggle," "The economy is bad," and
"You aren't enough," these have a powerful impact on how
you feel.
These thoughts are like a proverbial "dark cloud hanging
over you."
One of the defining moments of awakening is
when you discover that you "are not" the thoughts you are
"having." You witness the incessant chatter that drives you,
distracts you, and seems like your constant companion and
you realize that you don't have to be defined by that.
At that moment, you realize that those words in your head
really have little to do with you. They also don't reflect
what is actually happening in the world. You come to recognize
that a majority of those words are just recorded messages
from the past, the limiting thoughts of others, and random
sounds from your environment.
Nevertheless, they are broadcasting through your head.
At that moment, you may get a strong urge to turn off that
chatter, or at least turn down the volume, so it is less
distracting. The truth is--you can learn to do just that.
And it doesn't have to take years of practice, just a little
guiding of your attention. Here are a few simple ways to turn
down the mental volume and quiet your mind. I encourage
you to try them out as you read them.
Instead of just reading the words, pause at each one, and
actually give it a try. You may be surprised at how effective
they are. The great thing is, they take just a few moments.
3 Ways to Quiet Your Mind
1. See if you can listen to the chatter as an outside observer.
See if you can separate "who you are" from those words in
your head. Listen to them with an attitude of amused curiosity.
Smiling while you do this can help.
Allow the words to come and go through your mind without
hanging onto any of them. Just watch them come and go.
You could say, "Hey, they're just thoughts; they don't define
me or what I can do." As you give your thoughts less
importance, they lose their grip on your attention.
Take a minute to observe your mental chatter with a smile.

2. Focus on something else. If you become completely
immersed in paying attention to something besides your
thoughts, you'll notice that your mind quiets down.
For example, place your hands on your abdomen and
become aware of your breathing. See if it's possible to
notice the moment when your inhale begins; follow your
in-breath all the way through to a natural pause; notice
the moment your exhale begins; follow that all the way
through to a natural pause--and repeat.
Become absolutely interested in following your breathing
as if nothing else matters at this moment. Within a few
breathing cycles, your mind quiets. Try it for yourself.
3. Ask yourself the question: "Who is thinking?" Then
sit and be content that you really have no answer for that.
Don't try to make up an answer. Just notice how your mind
becomes quiet in the face of that question. Try it for
yourself and see what happens.
Those are three great ways to get a taste of a quieter mind--
a mind that isn't consumed by incessant thinking, and,
therefore, comes to rest in a natural peace.
As you get a taste of that, you may discover that you want
to experience more of it--you want to go deeper and have the
experience stay with you longer.
If so, I strongly recommend you get my Core Energy
Meditation Program. It's the only truly holistic meditation
practice that soothes and integrates all dimensions of your
being - mind, heart, body and spirit.
Soon a quiet mind can become your dominant background
state and your life can feel so much more peaceful, positive,
and clear. Check it out here --

8hz Deep Alpha Meditation with EMDR
8hz is a deep alpha brainwave frequency and is near the Schumann Resonance or the earth's heartbeat which is 7.83hz. It's easy to entrain your brain to this frequency with its continuous beat. Every so often a 'tic' sound will be heard either from the left or right speaker. It alternates at regular intervals to simulate the effects of EMDR. You need headphones for EMDR to work.
Notice the tones and allow it to be your point of focus. Try to stay with it until the end. If any other thought comes to your mind, just acknowledge it and gently go back and focus on the tones. The tone is 15 minutes in length and having a session for even just once a day can give you beneficial effects in the long run.

Meditation really is good for the brain as study reveals it switches off areas linked to ADHD and Alzheimer’s
By
Sadie Whitelocks
Meditation decreased activity in area in the brain implicated in a range of neurological disorders
Yale University scientists suggest it could even slow down the onset of dementia
Meditation could help temper the symptoms of ADHD and Alzheimer's scientists say.
A groundbreaking study has revealed that the ancient relaxation technique can switch off areas of the brain associated with a range of psychiatric disorders.
It is now hoped that the findings will shed light on how neurological diseases work and prompt the development of effective treatment.
Past research has shown meditation, which has become increasingly popular over recent years, has helped people quit smoking, cope with cancer, and even prevent psoriasis.
But scientists at Yale University now believe it can help people to stay focused and boost happiness, slowing down the onset of dementia.
Lead researcher Judson Brewer said: 'Meditation's ability to help people stay in the moment has been part of philosophical and contemplative practices for thousands of years.
'Conversely, the hallmarks of many forms of mental illness is a preoccupation with one's own thoughts, a condition meditation seems to affect.
'This gives us some nice cues as to the
neural mechanisms of how it might be working clinically.'
During the study, detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, both experienced and novice meditators were monitored as they practiced three different meditation techniques.
Brain scans revealed that experienced meditators had decreased activity in area called the default mode network.
This region of the brain has been implicated in lapses of attention and disorders such as anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and even the build-up of beta amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
Reduced activity was shown regardless of the type meditation and also during rest, suggesting that experienced meditators are less susceptible diseases such as autism, schizophrenia.
In a similar vein the University of Wisconsin is planning a study early next year to investigate the neurological effects of meditation and yoga with veterans.
It is thought mindfulness meditation holds promise for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which provokes intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness and hypervigilance.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which combines meditation with orthodox 'thought training', is already recommended for depression in Britain and is available on the NHS.
A report published by a mental health charity last year argued that if more GPs could offer the therapy it would cut the financial burden of depression, which costs the UK £7.5 billion a year.
