sleep meditation Sharing My Knowledge on Vedanta – Distinction Between Atman and Anatman

Meditation music is music performed to aid in the practice of meditation. It can have a specific religious content, but also more recently has been associated with modern composers who use meditation techniques in their process of composition, or who compose such music with no particular religious group as a focus.

Definitions:

Tãdãtmya: Tãdãtmya is the identification of oneself with the non-atman or anatman (body, mind and intellect). This is the false “I” also known as the Ego ( I say, Edged God Out)

Atma-anatma-viveka: is the ability to differentiate between Atman and anatman. (Between the Self and the non-self)

1.Svãyam-prakasa: Atman, the Self, the witness, the consciousness present in all forms is the life spark that illumines all experiences in all three states in all forms. It is Self-illumined and ever shining. (which we often do not recognize)

Since Tãdãtmya is the identification with the anatma – the body, mind and intellect, we are not what we say we are – by name, form, qualification in this material world, or based on what we possess.

The false ‘I’ need to be replaced by the ‘true, ever present, indestructible ‘I’, which has no attributes to describe, is the witness. This ‘I’ that we all are, is not a gender based, size based, location based. It is One appearing as many in different forms, shapes and sizes.

The effects of tãdãtmya (identification with the false ‘I’) leads to samsara, the temporary pleasures of joys & sorrow, accumulation of papa & punya further leading to the cycle of birth and death.

Self-knowledge is the only solution to the problem of tãdãtmya, which can be attained by atma-anatma-viveka.

The two lines of reasoning are:

a.) Tattva bodha explains in simple terms. “madyatvena jnatam atma no bhavati” in Sanskrit, simply means whatever is described as ‘mine’ is different from me. Thus pen, book, home is all different from me. So also, when I say, ‘my hand, my mind, my eyes’ simply means they’re different from me. Logically, I am not any of those. Therefore whatever is described, as ‘mine’ is different from the ‘Self’.

b.) ‘Drg-drishya-viveka – the seer subject is different from the seen object. Since ‘I’ is the witness of the body, mind, intellect, and five kosas, this ‘I’ is distinctly different from all these.

It is this knowledge to differentiate the ‘Self – I’ from the anatma destroys tãdãtmya.

One may ask, if the nature of the Self is Bliss, why am I not experiencing it?

Just because we’re not experiencing the bliss consistently does not negate its presence. The reason why we’re not experiencing is because we’re not focused on the ‘Self’.

We’re distracted by and attracted to the luring worldly objects, accept them as real, and chase the temporary pleasures, not realizing the ever-luminous ‘Self’ in us. It is our ego’s perception that disables the experience of the bliss.

Just as a well equipped computer scans every file for virus when imported or exported, we must scan every sense experience and thought flow with this anti virus program called atma-anatma-viveka. Be cautious of tadatmya virus and upgrade by logging on to the scriptures on a continuous basis.

2. The Cit nature of the Paramatman

Cit, which is consciousness, defined as ‘being’. Being is the very nature of consciousness as is sweetness to sugar, sour taste to salt and brightness to sun. A simple way of explaining ‘being’ is – the subject ‘I’ knows all objects including the known & the unknown. ‘I’ knows the body, mind, intellect, everything outside this body and also what is not known, which is the ignorance of the self. Realize that we are human beings and not human doings.

The senses, mind and intellect are inert (dead, lifeless) as they’re created by the tanmantras. They cannot reveal/expose their objects (which are emotions, thoughts and decisions) without the revealing power from the paramatman.

This is the reason why eyes and ears are able to reveal their objects (that are seen and heard) due to the close proximity with the supreme self, paramatman. Without the vision, the eyes cannot see. The vision is the power from atman, eyes are only tools.

In the waking state, one is aware of the external world, in the dream state one is aware of the internal world and in the deep sleep state one is aware of the absence of both worlds. Since ‘Self’ is present during all these three states, the nature of Self is knowledge. This ‘Self’ is known without any instrumentation to identify IT (IT refers to Self). IT is beyond any instrument. IT is self-revealing, self-luminous (svayam prakasa). Only to know objects that are separate from one, we need the instrument like eyes & ears but ‘Self’ is known through the ‘Self’ in a non-objectified way.

This ever shining (nitya-jyoti), self-shining (svayam jyothi) Principle of absolute knowledge is called Cit.

3. The Ananda nature of Paramatman

Ananda is of the nature of happiness. Everyone loves ‘Self’ at all times. If it were the nature of sorrow no one would love that much. Even the thought of a suicide is to destroy the body and mind because of the love for the ‘Self’, when there seems to be no other possible means to escape pain.

Even though ‘Self’ is a nature of ‘Bliss’, one forgets one’s own blissful nature and runs after the world of objects trying to find happiness!! This is ignorance at its pinnacle.

Gradation of happiness varies depending on the person, place or thing. Upanishads speaks about the joy of Gandharva to be greater than the joy of Devas and the joy of Devas is greater than that of a human. Whereas Bliss is it is neither conditional nor relative. It is absolute.

In the physical experience of life, there is a gradation of happiness. It moves from priya to moda to pramoda. We experience this bliss while listening to music, in temples, while meditating, when in front of nature like water, mountains and all these graded joys are modifications of anandamaya kosa. These gradations of happiness are the outcome of different births of the individuals and the accumulated effects of the karmas.

There is no gradation of the happiness of the Self. It is one uniform nature of bliss, full & absolute, same in all beings. Only when we are in deep sleep, everyone experience the same bliss. Infants and toddlers are always in bliss because they do not have the ego. We lose sense of our ‘Self’ when ‘ego’ takes over.

‘Be still and know that I am’. Know that ‘You are THAT!’ ‘Tat tvam asi!!”

Has the loss of a loved one, a major physical or financial tragedy or a global disaster brought your world to a screeching halt? Are you finding it hard to deal with the emotional rollercoaster, blaming yourself and feeling anger and helplessness all at the same time?

Loss from a major natural disaster like the Haiti earthquake, the genocidal killing of millions due to the politics of war or a mine collapse killing dozens of minors will make the average person feel down, depressed and helpless leaving them angry and wanting to place blame on someone.

Research shows that over 24,000 children around the world die every day. In the US 1400 people die from cancer daily, 118 from automobile accidents and someone dies from cardiovascular disease every 36 minutes. When the number of deaths is high as in an earthquake or war, it is said that the deaths are statistics, but when one of those lost is a loved one it is a tragedy, no matter how the loss occurred.

How Do You Define Tragedy or Loss?

Loss and tragedy can be defined as no longer having something of value, the death of someone or a significant life event that evokes the feelings of sorrow, grief, financial ruin or fatality. The most intense forms of grief are usually associated with the death of a loved one but people also grieve and experience emotional upheaval when facing some of the following:

• Loss of health
• Loss of or inability to find a job
• Loss of financial stability
• Miscarriage or loss of a child
• Divorce
• Loss of a close personal relationship
• Empty nest syndrome when a child leaves home for college or marriage
• Death of a pet
• Loss of safety and security after trauma such as a terrorist attack

The significance of the loss tends to determine the intensity of the grief and the difficulty of the rollercoaster ride. Grief is not a one size fits all process nor is it processed the same way by any two people, even if they share the same tragedy. Grief is processed in many ways depending upon your personality, belief system, faith and the stressors or life experiences you have gone through leading up to the loss.

Understanding the Process

According to psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her book On Death and Dying, 1969, there are five stages of grief. They are:
• Denial – this can’t be happening to me – shock and disbelief
• Anger -why is this happening, who can I blame – fear
• Bargaining – make this not happen and I will_____ – guilt
• Depression – I’m too sad to do anything or deal with this- physical and mental symptoms
• Acceptance – I’m at peace with what happened

Not everyone goes through all of these stages, but they are very normal and experienced by many. It is important to realize there is a process and it takes time. If there was a buildup of time before the loss occurred such as a loved one going through a terminal illness, some of the grieving stages will be experienced during the progression of the illness. Others may be able to process quickly and go from denial right to acceptance.

There are those that would argue that grief does not come in stages but liken it more to a rollercoaster ride with all of its ups and downs. A preferred way to look at it is waves. Because people definitely go through some type of a grieving process, the one thing that is most bewildering is that grief will wash over you in waves, often at the most unexpected and inappropriate times. There are also variations in the depth and time duration of those grieving waves. However, as time passes the waves will get separated by more time, come less often and be shallower.

Five Things That Help You Better Navigate the Grieving Process

In the field of Feng Shui creating positive energy in your surroundings is the first step to taking control of your life and creating calm and peace where chaos and loss now exist in your world. A loss or a life tragedy takes you out of your comfort zone and requires you to build a bridge back to your new comfort zone where your acceptance of loss lives. Some of the steps below will help you create that bridge and successfully cross to a future that accepts the changes and provides you the tools to move forward.

1. Create a mini support group of strong encouraging family members and friends – then talk and ask them to just listen. In real estate it’s all about location, location, location. In the grieving process it’s all about talk, talk, talk. Do not grieve alone. Sharing your grief with others helps to make grieving easier for you. The support group needs to help you stay self-sufficient, be patient with yourself and express your grief – the more you talk about the loss the more grief you release, like a pressure cooker that lets off steam. They cannot read your mind so it is important for you to take the lead role and talk.

2. Seek out support from your faith, external and internal. If you are active in a church or synagogue, get in touch with one of their counselors so you can receive their spiritual counsel as well as their professional advice. There may be more emotional issues hiding beneath the surface that will come to light when dealing with loss. Read the Bible or if you are not of a specific faith, read short motivational stories and books to encourage your mind to seek a better tomorrow.

3. Remove painful reminders of the past that are directly connected to your loss. Some may argue that you shouldn’t do this for at least six months but if your objective is to move forward and surround yourself with positive energy that will help you create the future, you need to remove the major reminders as soon as possible. Those are the items that will remind you constantly of your loss and the pain you are feeling. Then, create two lists using something simple like a yellow tablet. On the first list write everything you do not want to remember about the loss. This list could be very long if you just lost your father and for years you had a less than desirable relationship with him. Keep writing until you cannot think of one more thing to add. Then shred or burn the list and remove those old thoughts from your mind. On the second list write everything positive and good you want to remember about the loss – the ways you helped each other, took care of each other or just knew they were always there in case of need. Even the smallest of things can go on the list such as a special hug or sharing ice cream.

4. Create a memories box with pictures and favorite things of your loved one such as a pocket watch, a handkerchief, a ball or book. By putting this collection together you will always have the best of memories that carry the most positive energy nearby to relive and enjoy at a moment’s notice but they will not be in sight to add to your grieving time and pain. If it is not too painful for you, your favorite picture of your loss or loved one can be left out in the privacy of your bedroom where you can acknowledge the good times spent together. More than one picture focuses energy on the loss and grief rather than looking forward and healing.

5. Take care of yourself. This step is overlooked by many and can further complicate an already difficult time in your life. The grieving process is mostly emotional but can quickly turn into a physical problem because of the stress, lack of eating, eating too much, fatigue, insomnia or a variety of other challenging health issues. Take time to breathe deeply, sleep more than the usual hours and eat regular meals but don’t overeat. Exercise, meditate, pray, journal and do creative things like painting, sculpting, knitting, sewing and needlework to help you process your grief. Listen to classical or peace-filled Feng Shui music to nurture your inner self.

The process of grieving a loss or tragedy simply requires you to put one foot in front of the other and building the right bridge for you to get you back to a new comfort zone so you can create the future you want. Don’t let others tell you how you should or should not feel or how long you should grieve. Let your body and your emotions be your guide.

Also, be aware that at times in the future, events called “grief triggers,” a wave of grief or sadness could overcome you. These usually happen during the holidays and birthdays but can be triggered by a memory, seeing a child playing on the beach or looking at a family member with tears in their eyes. These are the times to look through your memory box and replace your sadness with fond positive energy memories.

By building a bridge to your future and creating your new comfort zone one step at a time you will reach the acceptance stage and realize you are at peace with your loss.

Learning to control panic attacks will help you deal with this debilitating disorder and restore some semblance to normalcy in your life. Following are 3 simple steps you can take to overcome panic attacks.

1. The most important thing in controlling panic attacks is knowing what triggers them. Some people have panic episodes after they drink coffee, while others have them after drinking alcohol or eating sweet stuff. Stressful situations are common panic attack triggers but again, these may not be the same for everyone. Some are anxious about driving, others are afraid of heights or public speaking. You can identify your triggers by recording the times you have a panic attack and noting the events that preceded it. Once you know the triggers you can make attempts to avoid them.

2. Unfortunately, avoiding all the things that bring about panic attacks is not always possible. Sometimes things just happen in our lives and cause us stress. So when a panic attack occurs as a result, the best thing you can do is lessen the severity and duration. First remind yourself that you’re not in any mortal danger. So you need to be as calm as possible. Another thing you can do to control a panic attack is to simply take your mind away from it. Taking a brief walk, practicing a relaxation technique, or listening to a soothing music are a few ways to accomplish this.

3. Having a positive outlook on life is the best way to control panic attacks. When you’re more relaxed and have a good self image, you’re less likely to think or worry about having a panic attack and hence, less likely to have one. So, do whatever you can to enjoy your life. Taking a peaceful morning or evening walk in the park, reading a good book or two in personal development, practicing meditation and yoga, are just a few suggestions.

Controlling your panic attacks is the first step to overcome them. However, you ultimately want to cure the disorder completely. Imagine living your life free from anxiety. You can go anywhere you want and do the things you enjoy without fear of having a panic attack. You can actually take your life back as numerous others have reclaimed theirs.

Anxiety is a debilitating affliction that has a huge bearing on not only your life but also those around you. The following tips to help you relax have proven to be very successful with some, but it really depends on how much you want to help yourself.

If you don’t do any kind of exercise, then get yourself into a regular routine and stick to it.

A lot of people start with good intentions but few actually keep in with the regularity that it needs. It’s vital to do some form of exercise at least four days a week to feel calmer and more relaxed.

Swapping your regular drinks for herbal teas can have a great effect on your mind and your body. The calming effects of Chamomile and Jasmine are well documented and can really help you to relax.

If you are getting yourself all worked up because nothing is working yet, you will just make yourself worse. Ok, so exercise and tea didn’t work, so now try meditation. Seriously, this is a centuries old method of relaxation that has many known benefits and its advocates recommend it to everyone.

Music is an incredibly powerful medium, and lying down in a room with music playing in the background will relax both your body and mind. If you fancy being a bit more adventurous learn to play an instrument. Your stress levels will fall to an all time low and you will have accomplished something as well.

Now you’ve read through all these strategies, you may be chomping at the bit to get in there and try them. A word of warning, with the exception of the tea, only choose one and stick to it. You need to spend a lot of time doing these techniques, and if you try and do two or three you’ll be stressing out by trying to keep them all going, so only one at a time.

The rest is up to you now, and I wish you well. If you apply yourself to one of these correctly you should feel a significant improvement.

Brainwave Entrainment 6 Tips To Help Your Hyperactive A.D.D. Child Get Through The Festive Season Without A Fuss

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.

Christmas is a very stressful time of the year for children with A.D.D. A lack of structure combined with a complete change in the daily routine and add in guests and you have a recipe for trouble. Children often act up and behave worse at times like this.

But you can help your child to enjoy the Christmas season if you take the proper steps to prepare him in advance.

Here are some tips to help your child to cope with and truly enjoy this Christmas Season:

Teach your child Coping Skills Ahead Of Time.- What are the areas your child has problems with? Is it sharing toys with other kids? Then sit down together and decide which toys he would be willing to share and which ones he wants to put away until the guests are gone. Does he throw tantrums or yell when he’s angry? Then teach him to breathe deeply and count to 10 to prevent him from exploding.

2. Rehearse correct behavior ahead of time so that by the holiday rolls around your child is familiar with it. Does he have a problem with proper dinner-table etiquette? Then practice having a formal dinner once a week so that by the time Christmas rolls around he is an expert.

3. A.D.D. children are more easily over-stimulated. Too many events one after the other make it exhausting for the child and this leads to poor behavior, tantrums etc. Build in enough down time into both yours and your child’s days during this hectic season.

Take a walk alone together, lie down for a nap together or give your child some headphones and let him listen to some soothing brain-wave entrainment sound tracks. The Calm Kids A.D.D. Brainwave Entrainment Program has 2 different sound tracks. One sound track is set to soothing and calming music and the other to ocean waves.

Just 20 minutes listening to these sound tracks helps to calm and soothe a child and reduces hyperactivity dramatically. To get your copy of the Calm Kids Program (Which includes the 2 soundtracks as well as several other information products designed to help you take immediate control of your child’s A.D.D. & start reducing symptoms now) go to Calm Kids

4. Take one-on-one time with your child. Play a game together, read him a story or get him to run some errands with you.

5. Encourage your child’s strengths.

6.Include your child in tasks.

Let him help you to cook the meal, wrap presents, etc. It may seem to require more effort and the tasks may take a bit longer with your child helping, but it will save you time in the long run because you won’t have to take time to deal with misbehavior.
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? ?requency following?response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ?requency 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 ?ntrain?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, ?ind-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? starting position, entrainment can be rather ?it and miss?

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you?e 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? strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

relaxing music Kabbalah of Child Discipline (Part 2)

Meditation music is music performed to aid in the practice of meditation. It can have a specific religious content, but also more recently has been associated with modern composers who use meditation techniques in their process of composition, or who compose such music with no particular religious group as a focus.

Now you have a general idea of how the Tree operates in creation as a whole, in your child and in yourself. Let’s consider how you can practically apply this to your parenting. We will go through this by making ten points, each associating with one of the ten spheres of the Tree.

1. Your job as a parent is not to impose your will on your child, but to follow God’s will in how you relate to your child. Also, it is not to get your child to do what you want, but rather to help your child to connect with what God wants. To do this, you have to relate with your child in a certain way. You have to remain calm and centered enough to be in touch with your own core, because Kether occupies the deepest level of creation. When you react with much emotion, when you simply try to apply some theory of how to relate with your child, you cut yourself off from the deepest prodding impulses that come to you from the highest spiritual levels. Spending time in prayer and meditation can help you stay connected with Kether in your parenting. As you practice parenting from this deep level, by your example your child automatically learns how to connect with his or her higher spiritual guidance.

2. To know what to do in the midst of any given parenting challenge, go within. Within you emanates the Divine Wisdom of the Tree, guiding you in line with Divine Will. Be mindful of the fact that true wisdom exists in your child as well. You don’t have to make your child wise. Your child is actually a manifestation of Infinite Wisdom. Your job as a parent involves helping your child to connect with his or her own wisdom so that your child can make responsible decisions without you needing to exert control. You do this by thinking of your child and yourself as intrinsically wise. By opening your heart and mind to higher wisdom’s guidance when relating with your child, instead of habitually reacting based on your superficial likes and dislikes, you attune by you and your child to the perfect wisdom offering both of you the guidance you need to follow.

3. Every child is essentially structured on the design of the Tree, but every child is also a unique representation of that Tree. To relate effectively with your child you need to base your way of relating on understanding of who your child actually is right now. The third sphere gives you the power to do this, but you must use it for it to work for you. You want your child to base his and her choices on understanding of what is really going on, don’t you? As you function with more understanding in relation with your child, your child learns to function with more understanding as a result. To gain the understanding that you need to parent effectively, spend time observing and contemplating. You need to understand what you are really doing and what your child really needs from you. This does not occur automatically. You need to study your child and yourself. Review your experiences with your child to see what you can learn from them. Regard every way that you relate with your child as an experiment, showing you what works and what does not.

4. It is certainly possible to relate too harshly with a child. To be an effective parent, you need to be a loving parent, always kind, even when you need to deny your child of what he or she desires. To raise a kind, caring, loving child you need to consistently relate with that child in a kind, caring, loving manner. The fourth sphere gives you the power to do this. Be aware that the Tree as a whole is really your guide in every moment. This means that kindness is never something to leave out of your parenting. Pay attention to how your child feels and to how you feel. Being cruel is not the same as being constructively stern.

5. It is also possible to be too lenient, too passive, too permissive and indulgent with a child. The fifth sphere gives you the power to say “no” when that is called for, to set limits aimed at strengthening your child. Allowing a child to experience displeasure is sometimes the greatest gift you can give. But this is not the same as making a child suffer because you refuse to meet legitimate needs. Be very aware of your emotional reaction when you need to impose boundaries. The slightest trace of anger from you constitutes an act of cruelty. You will notice that in the sequence of spheres, Mercy precedes Justice. In the Tree of Life pattern, the higher sphere rules the spheres below it. Thus, the real purpose of being stern is to be kind in a more strenuous manner. You impose limits to prepare your child to handle freedom and power responsibly, so that your child does not have to needlessly suffer more in long run.

6. The sixth sphere represents your power to be guided by beauty in your parenting. This means preserving your loving, harmonious bond with your child. Work on getting along with your child. Open your mind and heart to beautiful inspiration relating to how you can connect with your child in more wonderful ways. Don’t behave in an ugly way toward your child or around your child. If your child behaves in an ugly way, don’t let that lead you into similarly ugly reactions. Maintaining your poise. Nurture your heart and your child’s heart on beautiful music, art, nature, and scripture. Whatever task your parenting calls for, execute it in a harmonious way. Children need peaceful, happy, harmonious surroundings to behave well. Your child craves the experience of beauty as much as you do, and feels driven to create and express beauty. As you follow your sense of beauty in parenting, you automatically lead your child to follow beauty as well.

7. The seventh sphere gives you the power to achieve your goals and to make your dreams come true. Your child has this same power. To access this power begins, essentially, with faith. You have to have faith that you can win in order to give it all you’ve got. Your child needs to have faith that he or she can win to do what victory requires. How you relate with your child impacts your child’s faith. The more faith you have in yourself and in your child, the more faith your child will have in himself or in herself. By contrast, the more anxious, insecure, worried you are about yourself or your child, the less faith your child will have. To access your greatest power to win, choose something miraculous to strive for. You have to go for something so big that it seems impossible. Doing this deepens your faith and gives you access to the power you need. Don’t try to push or force your child to strive for higher levels of success. Instead, just trust that your child already desires to achieve miraculous things. Your job here is to relate with your child in a way that fosters faith, not fear. Avoid being overly critical. Cut out the use of complaining to motivate your child. Don’t label your child a failure, a disappointment, a loser, a liar, a brat, a good-for-nothing as all this does is undermine his or her belief in her ability and her worth. Be encouraging, not discouraging. Keep your own level of motivation and positive attitude high and that will naturally rub off on your child. Help your child see how great he or she is; not how great he or she is not.

8. Believe it or not, your child wants to do the right thing, the honorable thing. Your child wants to demonstrate excellence and integrity just as much as you do. You both have the eighth Divine Emanation driving you to do this. The way to bring out your child’s honorable potential is to continually strive to manifest your own. If you feel dissatisfied with your child’s demonstration of excellence or integrity, take a closer, deeper look at yourself. You will find that you can be more honest, that you can follow a more respectable course of action, that you relate with life from a deeper level with more respect for the sacred. Instead of criticizing, condemning, and disapproving of your child for lapses in excellence and integrity, face yourself with more direct self-honesty. As you raise your own levels of performance, you have a higher influence on your child and feed your child’s spiritual spark that drives him or her toward perfection.

9. As a parent you need to rely on the power of ninth sphere for patience and persistence. Sometimes you have to endure a problem for a long time before you can make significant headway. Be a patient but persevering parent. Realize that you can only improve your child’s behavior and lead your child to higher development by small degrees at a time. Also, use the power of this sphere to be a reliable parent. Relate with your child in a way that causes your child to feel secure, to know that he or she can count on you, rely on you. If you routinely lose your temper and explode at the top of a hat, you exhibit unreliability. This makes your child nervous, insecure, and your wildness fosters your child’s wildness. Children begin lying to their parents when they stop trusting their parents with the truth. Can you be trusted? Can your child be a human being, make mistakes, behave in obnoxious ways at times without you falling apart? Do you regularly fulfill your promises? Remember also that the ninth sphere represents the pattern of the true self. This means that you need to relate with your child in a way that expresses your authenticity, and that respects your child’s authenticity. Your child exhibits certain strengths and abilities, and certain weaknesses. You need to pay close attention to recognize what those are so that you can guide your child on a path of true, authentic success in life.

10. Finally, we arrive at the tenth sphere of parenting by the Tree. This is where you take responsibility for what you do, and learn how to give your child responsibility for what your child does. This sphere is all about responsibility. Don’t blame your child for how you react to your child. If you yell, nag, plead, argue that is not your child’s responsibility. You need to exercise self-control over yourself to relate with your child in ways that you choose to. To teach your child to be responsible, take total responsibility for what you do and for the results you achieve. Then, to improve your results, focus on what you can do differently. You also teach your child to take responsibility by letting your child be responsible. Avoid over-controlling, stepping in to direct too quickly. Give your child the chance to find his or her own way, to make some mistakes and to learn from the consequences. As your child matures to the point of being able to understand the relationship between action and consequences, make your child’s privileges contingent upon your child’s fulfillment of responsibility. For instance, before we go to the zoo, you have to make your bed and clean your room. If you want to watch a video, you have to not plead for more when the video is over. When your child oversteps responsible boundaries, he or she loses a privilege. This teaches your child to consider consequences before taking action, to expect to have to do responsible work for the privileges she hopes to enjoy.

Admittedly, this amounts to a thumbnail sketch of Kabbalah and how Kabbalah relates to effective parenting and child discipline. The essential point to remember is that both you and your child have within you both the drive and the potential to function at higher and higher levels. You don’t have to make your child into a wonderful, capable, happy human being. Your child has already been made to want to do that on his or her own, and to do it. By remembering that, and relating with your child more consciously, you can see how you can cooperate with the fulfillment of your child’s most beautiful potential.

Brainwave Entrainment Make Binaural Beats Work For You – Some Tips For Getting the Most Out of Binaural Beat Meditation

Nowadays, many people are discovering the rewards of utilizing binaural beats to enhance their lives in a multitude of ways. Those who use these beats regularly have experienced phenomenal results, and many are changing their lives. These tones are used to assist those that want to experience a deeper and more profound meditative experience. Many use these beats to address a specific problem in their lives. Many also use these beats as a means of experiencing astral projection and lucid dreaming.

Binaural tones are a type of brainwave entrainment that involves exposing the brain to repetitive stimulus sounds of a specific frequency. The brainwaves are linked with different states of consciousness. Brainwave entrainment presents an effective way to tap into these different states with relative ease. Here is how you can get the most of your experience with this form of meditation.

When listening to these sounds, it is important to attempt to do so every day at the exact same time. You want to generate a regimen, so that your entire body will be accustomed to getting into this deep state of meditation at a certain time. Once your body gets used to being in this meditative state at the same time each day, your experience will be much more profound.

You also want to make certain that the space you chose to listen to your binaural tones is quiet and free of distractions. You will not fall into a deep meditative state if you are distracted or continuously getting interrupted. This is especially crucial for beginners. Try maybe waking up early before everyone else in the home is awake, or chose a time to meditate when everyone is gone from the home. If you live alone, you are fortunate that you will not face this issue.

Headphones are vital for success with binaural tones, so you must use them. The tones in your right ear will be different from those in your left. Make certain that your headphones or earphones are of very good quality. You can get a quality set for reasonably cheap, so definitely invest in a great pair.

The most crucial tip of all is to use high quality binaural beats. Not all beats are of high quality, and not all beats will provide you with great results. If you listen to low quality tones, you will not get good results. If you plan to listen to these tones daily and are serious about experiencing great benefits, listen to high quality beats. If you are not listening to quality tones, you are wasting your time.
