In order to manage our stress and improve our health and gain more inner peace and a sense of control over our lives we must be willing to make a commitment to ourselves to manage our own stress levels because nobody else will monitor then for us. We may have to risk thinking and behaving in healthier and more empowering ways to live life optimally.

I would like to offer you one new way to manage stress. It is a relaxation technique but is quite different form the traditional progressive muscle relaxation method that is usually taught. This new technique will take you to a much deeper and more profound level of calmness than you believed was possible.

Now, obviously stress starts in the mind and it is to the stress producing structures in the brain we must first look to understand how this works. The brain is made up of three main areas, the reptilian brain (our most ancient part), the limbic system and the frontal brain or neocortex.

It is in the first two that the action takes place with regards to stress. This is the famous ‘fight or flight’ area that is very primitive in it’s nature. These two areas contain the glands and structures that react to stress and fear and fire us up and then keep us aroused. These main glands are the thalamus and the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland all of which are located in the limbic system.

In the reptilian brain, at the rear, is a small structure known as the locus ceruleus which is also part of the brains stress response equipment. Further into the body itself are the adrenal glands (just above the kidneys) which fire cortisol and adrenaline into your body when the afore mentioned structures notice stress looming. So in order to really reach a deep level of relaxation where our stress really is ‘turned off’ we have to switch off these structures somehow.

To do this we engage visualization principles by imagining that inside the thalamus is a small replica of you, and this person is holding a small ray gun. This may initially sound slightly unorthodox but the results will speak for themselves. You shoot white laser like light into the hypothalamus simply by imagining doing so and if you visualize the light as calming it starts very quickly to shut down the stress that that gland is responsible for producing. You move all the way around these structures firing this light for a few minutes at a time and it literally switches off the brains stress response and your body reacts by completely relaxing itself so deeply that your brainwaves actually change from high beta to low alpha and then on to the theta level which the majority of relaxation techniques around just do not allow a person to go. Its like your whole body just lets go. If you perform this twice a day or even once if your schedule does not permit twice you will have found a most profound and effective means to manage stress.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

In order to cure sleep deprivation, we need to focus on the blatantly obvious – to get a good night’s sleep, and every night. The only obvious way to achieve this is to eliminate that which prevents us from getting the rest we so greatly need. Well, the things that stand in our way of restful sleep can be many, or few, depending on each individual case, but the solution can very much be a one-size-fits-all cure. Sleep deprivation, after all, can be affected by attacking it where the cause of the problem resides, in the brain. But the techniques people use to go about this may not all be the best – in fact, some are quite dangerous.

For instance, let’s look at the most popular “cure-all” for insomnia and sleeplessness… drugs and medications. The dangerous part of these, and I’m talking about those that are over the counter variety as well as prescription strength, is two-fold. First, they are addictive by nature, and second, they begin to decrease their effectiveness completely within a matter of weeks.

When this happens, we take more and more as the effectiveness becomes less and less, and that is precisely when addiction has us in its grip. The resulting rebound insomnia is even worse than before, and we’re driven to go to our doctor for a prescription that would be even stronger, and perhaps more highly addictive. Soon, you’d need to take enough Demerol to drop a bull elephant just to get a few minutes of shuteye.

The best and most natural method to date to cure sleep deprivation is the use of isochronic pulse therapy. There have been various audio therapies in the past, but this state of the art technique utilizes constantly changing frequencies of pulses as a soft backdrop to soothing tones, and it is these pulses which work their miracle. The ever changing frequencies cause the brain to produce certain brainwave activities which are the most conducive to induce actual restful sleep. The best thing about this is the lack of danger – there are no habit forming qualities with this type of therapy. In fact, it trains your brain to get back into natural rhythms where you no longer need the therapy.

In one of the Star Trek: Next Generation episodes, an alien mispronounces Data’s name as dah-tah. Data corrects him, saying that his name is pronounced as day-tah.

“What’s the difference between calling you day-tah or dah-tah?” asks the alien.

“One is my name”, Data states simply yet eloquently.

Sound is a powerful vibration that affects us either to our benefit or detriment. Just as the energy of the planets when you were born created an energy stamp upon you, influencing how you are in the world, so does the energy stamp of your name influence you.

For example, the sound of a loud car, a barking dog, or an explosion can put the human body into instant alert – flooding it with adrenaline, moving all conscious thought into the reptilian portion of the brain (the area of Fight or Flight consciousness), and moving all blood into the parts of the body needed to support fight or flight (muscles, heart, lungs). While a single occasion of these sounds may protect a person from harm, when they’re continual the effect on the human body is very detrimental. The long-term stress of harsh sounds on the human body can cause diseases such as Fibromyalgia, ulcers, high blood pressure, and more.

Contrarily, the sounds of Baroque music, with its beat slow as the human heart at rest, eases and soothes the human body. A cat’s purring at 45hz to 60hz, which is the same as Delta brainwave state, puts a human into a deeply relaxed state. Sounds of these types can actually promote healing of the human body.

You hear your name several times a day. It grabs your attention when you hear it. Each time you hear the sound of your name, you’re immersed in the energy of it. Is it a jarring sound or does it comfort and soothe you?

If your name feels comfortable to you, then either you’re one of the lucky ones who were named correctly at birth or you changed your name at some point. Many people change their proper birth name to a shortened version, which feels more comfortable to them. I changed mine from my birth name of Kathleen, which I intensely dislike, to Kathy, which feels better to me. Some people completely change their names, like my friend Dakara who changed her name from Wendy – a name that may have suited her when she was a child, but definitely didn’t suit her as she took on her empowerment.

Why is having the correct name so important? Because the energy of it either supports you in the experiences you’re having this lifetime and enhances your learning OR it has the opposite effect, making your journey more difficult and burdensome.

Having the wrong name – one that you dislike or that just doesn’t feel right – means that either you need to grow into the energy of your name OR you have outgrown it and now need to adopt a name with more appropriate energy OR you were simply misnamed at birth by your parents.

If you’re completely comfortable with you name, honor it. When others mispronounce it gently correct them. Once a friend named David phoned me and when I answered he said, “Hi Kath.” I replied “Hi, Dave”. There was a pointed moment of silence and then he quietly said, “Message received.”

How do you feel about your name?

If you’d like to change it but don’t know how or what, here’s a couple of suggestions:

Consult with a numerologist. They can help you define the name using numbers and their frequency.
Ask your spirit guides for your soul name. It may come to you all at once, or like my friend Dakara, it may come one syllable at a time.
Ask your friends what name they think would be most appropriate for you. After all, how many times have you met people and think they look like they should be named something entirely different?

In November 2004 the FDA approved the use of RFID tags (Radio-frequency identification) At the rate computer technology is evolving it takes some imagination to picture how digital advances will change health care in the coming years. The economic and socio-political climate trends indicate that the future could be less than idyllic. In the future health care information could be kept in a centralized databank with the complete rundown of a person’s identity; this means that whoever controls the data controls the medical, financial, and privacy issues of the individual.

Thinking back to the days of playing Pong on a simple text computer, large and primitive by today’s standards, no one would have guessed we would someday have nearly the total information of the world available on a tiny cell phone. Miniaturization has been the trend as microchips get smaller and more powerful. Industries like health care can obtain software that gets ever more sophisticated to consolidate medical records. The next step regarding the patient will be even more revolutionary. The advent of nanotechnology presents a world of opportunity, as it provides the capability to insert nanometer-scale microchips into the body to perform electronic functions.

Making hand motions or moving the eyes may be the way we interface with the systems of the future at some point. Just as electrodes and RFID chips are used on the exterior, it is also possible to use the technology internally. You would think that implanting such a chip would be done with limits of use under the law, which it is at the time of this writing. With many laws changing overnight and runaway centralization, it would only take a new law to require citizens to have radio frequency identification chips placed in their arms which would serve as their bar codes.

The RFID chips currently in use are injected into a patient’s arm; they don’t carry medical data on their own but when scanned they provide access to the databank where the records are on file. Greater technological progress will mean that a person’s history can be followed, giving a temptation to consolidate more data into those chips. Research indicates that just such a plan is underway with the goal of having all medical records, financial records, criminal records, and so on to be available to the authorities.

Methods of keeping electronic medical records will likely follow the trend of accelerating technology to the point of making it intrusive. It is inevitable that the ease of managing an inventory of the population will not go unnoticed by governments in search of methods of easy control. Medical publications presented the results of a survey done in February 2005 of 253 Chief Information Officers and Directors of Information Systems at healthcare facilities (The 2005 Leadership Survey). The healthcare software survey indicated that 55% of them considered auto-identification as the IT solution that was most important to their institutions. The importance would be considerably higher in military and political circles.

The march of progress goes on but there are two possible futures, either one of enlightenment where patients can count on new miracles of modern medicine to help the living or a future of an Orwellian nightmare where a totalitarian bureaucracy that can turn off your chip when it is displeased – sort of a big cable company. Another type of chip has been developed that is so tiny it fits on the end of a syringe and can attach itself to the cortex of the brain. It would be capable of altering brainwave frequencies to make the subject either docile or violent. The potential for abuse is obvious and we can only hope that privacy remains intact throughout the political power-grabbing.

In non-technical language, subliminal music is the difference between two sounds of the same frequency heard at the same time. This happens when you wear headphones and the sound in one ear beats higher than the other. Assuming that you have a 90 Hz sound on one ear and another channel gives the other ear 100Hz, then the binaural beat that you will hear is the difference between the highest sound and the lowest. This would be 10Hz, that is, the difference of 100 and 90. Subliminal music and images are quite effective in personal development.

Subliminal music is only defined when they are below 100Hz. If you would like to hear this beat, then you have to use stereo headphones for the beats’ projection. The reason for this is that the left and the right ears do not exactly hear the same thing, but there are slight differences.

What is the essence of these beats to the human brain and the personality? In a process that is called entrainment, your brain automatically responds to certain frequencies and starts operating along those ranges. Therefore, this beat is essential if you want to influence the direction along which you want your brain to think. That means that if you listen to the alpha range beats, your brain will mimic the alpha range frequencies and therefore the alpha brainwaves will start working.

It has been shown that different brain waves are meant for different performances and functions in our brain. For example, if you want your brain to stop being redundant and start thinking actively to reach fast solutions, you had better enhance the Beta brain waves. If you want to relax and feel drowsy, you can try the Alpha brainwaves, which will send you to sleep faster than any lullaby.

For dreams and meditation, you can invoke them into your brain by simulating the Theta brainwaves. Seemingly, you can influence any kind of sensation in your brain by use the beats. The good thing about it is that there are no side effects at all because no sensation is drug induced. By use of this simple but ingenious method, you can be on your way to living a stress free life.

It is not like it will take you a lot of time to figure out when and where to get these beats from. These beats are in MP3 files, which are downloadable from the internet. As well as using the files to help the brain mimic the right frequencies befitting the situation, you can also get MP3 files that will help you know how to meditate.

On different sites on the internet, you will find files that are free. In other sites, you will have to pay a little fee for them. The good news is that even if you pay a small fee for the MP3 beats files, you will get more than enough value for your money. Life is too short to waste it on stress and depression. Make use of the Subliminal music and images today.

In my previous article Addiction Cure with Brainwave Entrainment – Recognizing the Problem, it has been pointed out that the subconscious mind is in control of the body and that getting rid of an addictive behavior is extremely difficult, if not impossible. In fact, an addiction cure through brainwave entrainment is based on this assumption and understanding.

Scientific research has found that brain frequencies are connected to ailments or their healing in different parts of our body. Some have experienced miraculous healing while witnessing the healing process in the mental state of theta. One such example was Vianna Stibal who established Theta Healing Technique after recovering, without any surgery, from a malignant tumor in her right leg.

To understand the theta mental state and how brainwave entrainment can be harassed as an addiction cure, let’s take a good look at how brain frequencies function. The human brain produces electrical frequencies measured by units of hertz, i.e. the number of cycles per second. These frequencies change according to the state we are in. During deep sleep, our brain produces very slow waves (delta), while during the time between waking and sleeping the brain produces slightly faster waves called theta (4-7 cycles per second). During meditation and deep relaxation, when we stroll on a beautiful beach, breathing deeply with our eyes closed, the brain broadcasts alpha waves (7-14 Hz). Lastly, when we are in full function, focusing on our tasks, beta waves (14-28 Hz) are produced.

When someone possesses the ability to quickly shift from one brain frequency to another without effort, s/he is at an optimal state. The brainwave entrainment technology works on the brain to enhance this mental flexibility so that good functioning capacity in all aspects of life, addiction cure included, can be achieved.

So we’ve explained how slower brain frequencies give us access to power beyond the perception of our conscious mind and physical senses. If we could slow our brainwaves to theta or at least alpha, we could heal more effectively, manifest more easily, create new things and make all our dreams come true. The next question is why we are not spending more time in this amazing state? How can we gain access to this power on a regular basis? Can brainwave entrainment really help us acquire this ability?

Actually, the average individual does spend quite an amount of time in this wonderful mental state, at least, every night. However, it seems that people have little or no control over it. The truth is the slower the brain frequency, the more difficult it is to access it consciously. The conscious mind, which perceives the world through the five senses, tends to cancel out the slow frequency states. By listening to brainwave entrainment recordings, we can bring the brain frequency down naturally, bypassing the limitation of the five senses.

Once the brainwaves are tuned down, unwanted behavior can be corrected more easily and the effect can be sustained. Some of you may have heard of neurofeedback treatment for addictions. This treatment aims at curing addiction by training the mind to slow down. In one experiment, a group of alcoholics were trained during 15 separate sessions to slow their brainwave to alpha and theta. Conducted with two control groups, the experiment’s findings were positive and very promising. However, seeking addiction cure as an inpatient at a clinic or hospital can be time-consuming even if you can afford the high cost. In view of this, a brainwave entrainment recording will do the magic without interrupting your study or affecting your work. Moreover, you won’t have to worry about the medical expenses.

A brainwave entrainment recording often comes with soothing natural sounds like flowing water or chirping birds. In a binaural beat recording, this background ‘music’ is embedded with two specific sounds of different frequencies. A third frequency which is the desired brainwave will be generated, accessing the optimal state for the creativity and healing power of the subconscious to be activated.

The beginning of a year is the best time to make positive changes to your life. Among these changes, getting rid of one’s addictions is an extremely common one. If you’ve used other methods before and failed, why don’t you give brainwave entrainment therapy a try? Many people have successfully cured their addictions with this treatment in the comfort of their own home. Maybe the next one is you.

In my 18 years of experience working and observing clients who have PTSD, I have never found an easier solution for PTSD than EEG biofeedback, also known as, neurofeedback training.

Neurofeedback, specifically alpha-theta protocol, is a training process that has been scientifically-proven to improve PTSD. It helps with issues that people develop as the result of dysfunctional family systems, grief or trauma. Beta-SMR protocols work more on issues that one was either born with or developed after brain damage. To use an analogy:

Beta-SMR protocols works to improve the hardware
Alpha-theta works to improve the software

For this article, I will describe in more detail alpha-theta protocol, because that is the recommended protocol for PTSD. Alpha-theta protocol is named after the two main types of brainwaves that are involved during this protocol. It brings on a deep calm witness state where people can often observe or think about their dislodged memories in a safe dream-like state. Issues such as distorted beliefs and trauma affect how the brain operates at a sub-conscious level. With alpha-theta, clients train their brain to let go of negative response patterns that are based on old or false beliefs so they can enjoy life with a new and healthier perspective. In addition, the brain becomes receptive to complementary psychological therapies that might otherwise have created avoidant or defensive reactions. People who experience alpha-theta training report that they feel more emotionally connected, have increased peace and serenity, are more open-minded and better able to access and integrate repressed experiences. They also seem more observant of new opportunities and have significantly less fear in pursuing them.

Sometimes people who I suspect have PSTD receive a different diagnosis. Over the years, I have had numerous clients who were periodically admitted to psychiatric hospitals for major depression, hearing voices, having visual hallucinations or paranoia. Some of these individual had been diagnosed with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. Many of them had bipolar symptoms even though they may not have met the diagnostic criteria. Many of them ended up in my office, because had a bad reaction to drugs: prescribed psych meds or illegal street drugs such as hallucinogens. In the normal course of training, many of the individuals experience relief from the psychotic episodes or major depression after the beta-SMR protocols. Yet with other individuals, the beta-SMR protocols only help to stabilize the fluctuations in their energy levels and improve their focus and attention. Their thought disorders or depression persists until we begin alpha theta training. After the alpha-theta training the vast majority of their symptoms are reported gone, and they go on to live very happy and productive lives. It appears a psychotic break, a bad trip on drugs or a first bout with major depression may become an extremely traumatizing event for some individuals.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

In medical terms delayed sleep phase syndrome or DSPS is characterized as a form of sleep disorder. A person suffering from such a disorder has a sleep cycle that is delayed by more than a couple of hours. Alternatively known as delayed sleep phase type or delayed sleep phase disorder, it is caused by the disruption of the normal circadian rhythm of the body that also affects the body temperature, normal sleeping hours and the period of high alertness.

People suffering from delayed sleep phase syndrome go to sleep at a much later hour, at times in the wee hours of the morning. It is mostly observed in people who work in late night shifts or socialize till late in the evening. It is a continual problem quite like an extended jet lag. The syndrome is seen to have an eroding impact on the work schedules and regular activities of people who suffer from it. They tend to compensate their lack of sleep by taking short naps during the day or by sleeping for long hours during the weekends.

Delayed sleep phase disorder is caused by a state of non-synchronization between the external environment and the internal biological clock. Research reveals that people suffering from DSPS remain awake as late as 2am and consequently are late risers. The circadian rhythm in the human body, which are responsible for the proper functioning of the biological clock, cease to work in its proper pace. It also casts its negative effect on the sleep-wake patterns.

Delayed sleep phase syndrome has an adverse effect on the regular routine and lifestyle of an individual. It leads to a lot of anxiety and stress and in the long run can result in sleep onset insomnia. There is a drastic change in the daily regimen owing to unhealthy and altered food habits, daytime sleep and a fatigued mind and body. In extreme cases it might lead to psychiatric mood disorders and depression.

With proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment it is possible to cure delayed sleep phase syndrome. It is often misdiagnosed as insomnia. Proper diagnosis can be made by keeping a record of sleep timings. The treatment procedure for delayed sleep phase syndrome is targeted at restoring the circadian rhythm of the patient and thereby bringing back the erstwhile sleep and wake pattern. Chronotherapy, phototherapy or light therapy, medication are some of the most commonly used modes of treatment employed in curing delayed sleep phase syndrome.

There is also a form of alternative medication that can go a long way in treating delayed sleep phase syndrome. Listening to binaural beats can help people to sleep faster as it makes use of some specialized sounds.

Binaural beats can be defined as ‘auditory brainstem responses’ that are produced in the superior olivary nucleus of the brain. It is produced as a result of the meeting of two auditory impulses that are completely different from each other. Desynchronized circadian rhythm causes a state of sleeplessness while synchronized rhythm results in hypnotic and meditative states. Binaural beats help in synchronization.

These specially generated sounds help in altering brainwaves and thereby restore circadian rhythm. This process is a completely natural way of treating delayed sleep phase syndrome.

binaural audio music | mantra meditation music
In many binaural beats recordings, sounds are combined and blended with the beats themselves. This is for a number of reasons. The sounds are usually soothing and make the beats more enjoyable to listen to. Also, the frequency of the sound being used may be designed to combine with the frequency of the beats in a specific way. This is done to alter your brainwave frequency.

Binaural beats recordings are actually constructed in a fairly scientific way. By using different frequencies, they change the frequency of your brain. This can be done in other ways, but these specially designed recordings to take the work out of it and do it for you. Experts can spend years mastering their brainwave frequencies, but many of us don’t have that much time. I know I don’t!

Different kinds of sounds are typically combined with beat frequencies. Some examples are bell chimes, chanting, and musical rhythms. Many of the sounds used are also directly from nature. Nature is considered by some to be natural music generated by the earth and the universe. It often produces rhythmic, soothing sounds such as rolling waves, rainfall, wind through the trees, birdsong, and cricket chirps in a meadow. Another popular sound is the beating of a heart. This can be very reminiscent of being in the womb.

Different binaural beats recordings are designed to serve different purposes. One might be constructed to relax you and aid in effective meditation. Another might be made to enhance memory. They can even be generated to facilitate astral projection and out of body experiences.

Regardless of the type of binaural beats you use, you should find something that is appealing to you. Use the ones that make you feel good.

In learning to use the Law of Attraction effectively, let’ s look at some of the specific techniques I have used for getting in alignment with my higher self and my inner guidance. The most important thing you can do in order to cultivate alignment is to INTEND to get in alignment with your higher self and take a little bit of time every day to focus on it. I call this practice “meditation” but you can call it relaxation, prayer, quiet time, solitude or whatever you like. It’s about taking a little time out of your day, every day, and just getting quiet and focusing your attention inward. It’s about getting in touch with your inner wisdom (or source energy flowing through you).

Deciding to get aligned is a bit like deciding to get physically fit. It just sounds like hard work and many people hate the idea and have convinced themselves that they simply can’t do it. And when you start an exercise regime, you may not see or feel any progress for quite a while. In fact, if anything, you may feel worse because not only do you not feel fit, you are now also more tired because your body is adjusting and you may even be a little depressed because you think you’re putting in a lot of effort and there are no results. It FEELS LIKE it’s not working!!

I probably don’t have to tell you that if you don’t stick with your physical exercise regime, you will not change your body. But if you do stick with it – even though it’s pretty tough in the beginning – you WILL begin to see results and it WILL become easier and easier as time goes on and it WILL eventually become a habit that you won’t skip unless you have to. You will probably begin to love it.

Now, I know that physical fitness seems to come easier to some than to others. Some seem to be made for it and others really struggle to attain even a moderate level of fitness. I’m not gonna lie to ya – my experience is that spiritual fitness is similar. Some people seem naturally tuned in to their spirit and appear to attain a connection with seemingly little effort while others struggle for moderate success. And the truth is that I’m probably closer to the latter group than the former. The point is that no matter who you are or where you are on the continuum, you would do well for yourself to make your spiritual fitness a priority, to whatever level works for you. You do have to start and the EVERY DAY part is actually more important that the “how much you sweat when you’re doing it” part is.

Just like with physical exercise, you will have on and off days, even as a practiced individual. Even after years of meditating, there will be days when you feel you are starting from scratch and days where you feel like you could take on the universe. It doesn’t mean you stop the whole thing and say this doesn’t work for me. You keep going the next day and the next and the next.

But you must start and you must continue to do it. It doesn’t have to be spooky or weird or even particularly “spiritual”. You just need to quiet your mind as best you can. You will not be able to stop all thought. You are made of thought. This is a thought based cosmos and you are thought vibration in an endless sea of thought waves. (I like to think of myself as one of God’s brain cells.) So, don’t start with the defeatist attitude that you simply cannot meditate because you can’t stop your thoughts and therefore meditation doesn’t work for you as an individual. Just like with physical exercise, there will be something you can do that will suit your style and it may not be the thing everyone else is doing. Maybe everyone else is jogging but you hate jogging. You may prefer to take long walks. Maybe the only kind of exercise you can really enjoy and get into is splashing around in the paddling pool. Well then do that. The point is, no one can tell you what kind of meditative exercise will work for you. It’s not one size fits all. But you need to explore and find something you think you could enjoy and start doing it.

We’re also not talking about hours of meditation every day. This isn’t about sitting on hot coals for extended lengths of time or stopping all thought for at least one hour every day. It really is just about taking 5 and seeking solitude for a few minutes. It’s just about getting quiet and getting in touch with that inner world. If trying to calm your mind and thought processes just seems way too much like hard work, then try this exercise that I developed based on an old meditation technique called thought observation. I call it “Stepping Back”:

Find yourself a quiet time and space in which to do this practice. Quiet your mind and focus on your breathing. Breath deeply and evenly and try to centre yourself, meaning, just find a place of peace where your mind can be at rest. Unless you are an avatar at meditation, thoughts will eventually begin to drift back into your consciousness. Instead of releasing them and bringing your mind back to your breathing, do release them in one large exhale, but let them float onto a large screen (like a cinema screen) that is some distance away from you, where they will smear out onto the surface of the screen. Alternatively, you may like to release them in “bubbles” as if you were under water. They can either stay in the bubble and you can watch them from the outside or they can “pop” onto the surface of the water and play out that way. Now you can let the thought or scenario play out in front of you, but try to maintain an “outside” point of view as if you were watching a film. Try not to be “in” the movie or character, just watch and observe. Let the emotions, which are attached to the scene stay in your “character”. You, however, are detached. Allow the scene to play out. When the next thought comes, do the same.

If this exercise resonates with you, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I have developed some further techniques you can use to expand on this for specific goal achievement. Once you get comfortable with this, it can become an extremely powerful tool – especially when you combine it with some of the other techniques I have developed. These techniques are some of the most powerful tools I have found for manifesting change.

If you are interested in more traditional meditation techniques, check out my website, where you can find links to get simple instructions and audio downloads for free, which will teach you the most straightforward way to start traditional meditation for the absolute beginner. For some great brainwave entrainment audio tools, which will help you achieve a meditative state (alpha) more quickly, check out some of the other links on my website.

Whatever you do, if you are committed to making the Law of Attraction work in your life, make a commitment to getting aligned with your inner self. This will speed up the process and take you to the next level!

For now, I wish you peace and joy. Please know that no matter who you are, no matter what you have done or manifested in your experience, YOU ARE a perfect expression of God.
