sleep meditation How Pompeo Batoni’s Paintings and Allegories Worked for Me

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.

I like Pompeo Batoni’s (1708-1787) paintings. I consider him one of my friends despite the distance in time and space. Pompeo Batoni was one of eighteenth-century Rome’s most notable citizens. He was considered by his peers the city’s most eminent and honored artist.

Popes, Europe’s Emperors and Kings, and many rich visitors were received in his studio. Pompeo Batoni supported his numerous children and family and a open house for musical evenings and painting academy by painting very appreciated portraits.

In subject paintings the rich effect of color and complex rhetoric behind the attitudes, gestures, and expressions create very dynamic compositions. His humanized saints, Holy Families, and Madonna express a meditative approach to religious emotion.
I appreciate him mostly for his thinking, for his representations in allegory of hard and abstract ideas. The allegory is a work of art in which a deeper meaning underlies the superficial or literal meaning.

I am starting with three examples: The Time unveiling the Truth, The Truth and Mercy, The Justice and Peace because the message encrypted in colors and forms is less complicated and may stimulate the reader’s thinking.

The Truth is pure light and Time is a young seeker. After unveiling the Light we are no more innocents. It is supposed to know the difference between good and evil. Sinning after we received the True is different. In time, through experience and study at the school of hard knocks, we get the chance to bring the Light and more personal responsibility in our life.
The Truth versus Mercy is a totally different allegory. The Truth is holding firm and up a more material symbol, a tragic shiny face. From his attitude we feel the Truth is very important and self-centered. The kneeling Mercy appears as if she is one with the viewer, she demands compassion. The material, more earthly Truth, cruel and unforgiving, is facing us and the Mercy’s humble request. Is judging more important than forgiving? The viewer is involved, a mature person may decide different than a young one. The National Gallery, Special Features, Paintings from the Exhibition, picture #6
The Justice is not blind in Batoni’s work. She has the instrument to weigh the arguments and facts in her left hand. Temporarily she stopped judging, because Peace is unfolding on her side bringing comfort and warmth. Again, what is the value of judging and criticizing all the time over the peace of acceptance? I brought these examples to gradually introduce Batoni’s thematic to you.

The Madonna and Child in Glory” fascinated me. The original is at Toledo Museum of Art (Ohio).
“The Madonna and Child in Glory” is the only painting I know which represents the Divine and the evil relationship from humans point of view on the same canvas.

Central, in full light, the Mother is holding with grace the precious Son of God. She is focusing up beyond the angels. The top space of the painting is open by the left angel who is calling for attention. The angels from top are emotionally involved in what is happening down there, where the Jesus Christ’s cross – spear is agonizing the devil. The baby’s gesture and representation are very humanized. The devil is represented according to ancient description with wings and here is holding on the Earth’s sphere. The very childish angels on the bottom hold each other leaning aside to avoid the evil’s horrible breath.

A group of five musicians close to Madonna glorify the divine mission. We the humans can identify with scientists and artists. On a deeper level we can perceive the Christ body in the crucified pose in Mother’s hands. Mother is looking up for help and understanding.

The viewer is involved in many ways on different levels of emotion, stimulating the mind to pursue more work. The line “But deliver us from evil” was my first understanding from the very first second I have seen this masterpiece of materialized meditation.

The recent book “Pompeo Batoni: Prince of Painters in Eighteenth-Century Rome” by Edgar Peters Bowron and Peter Bjorn Kerber (2007) contains all pictures discussed in my article.

This book is published in conjunction with the 300 years anniversary from Pompeo Batoni’s birth with exhibitions at:

The Museum of Fine Arts, Huston, 21 October 2007 – 27 January 2008;
The National Gallery, London, 20 February – 18 May 2008

Brainwave Entrainment What Peak Performance and Brainwave Synchronization Have In Common

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.

Ever wondered how some people accomplish the incredible feats that they do? During the 1970’s and early 80’s there was a frenzy of experiments conducted on people who consistently out performed others (be it in business, sports the arts…) to find out if their brains were different from most people’s. What was discovered from these experiments changed the course of neuroscience.

Its not that the brains of peak performs are different but what is different is the way in which their brains operate. The brainwaves of peak performers are synchronized, otherwise known as having brainwave synchronicity, or whole brain integration.

What Is Brainwave Synchronicity?

As we know, our brain has two hemispheres and most of us are considered ‘left brained’ or ‘right brained’. One hemisphere or the other tends to dominate. If ‘left brained’ you will tend to be better at logical tasks, detail orientated tasks, maths; if ‘right brained’ your strengths are more likely to be artistic, emotional awareness, people skills. One is neither better than the other, just specialized in different ways. This is called brainwave lateralization. The brain is not working entirely as one synchronized unit, it is not integrated, its brainwaves are not in sync in both hemispheres, they are out of sync.

When a person’s brainwaves are working laterally, it means that their brainwaves are also faster and in the case of the brain, faster is not better. The faster the brainwave, the more stressed, agitated, anxious a person tends to be (high beta brainwaves). On the other hand when a person is experiencing brainwave synchronicity, it causes their brainwaves to slow down and this is very good when it comes to enhanced performance. By slowing the brainwave down one enters the lower beta (focussed concentration, mental processing, performance), alpha (relaxation, a meditative state, creative, at ease, increased awareness), theta (entering the subconscious, dreaming, altered states, super learning/memory, inspiration), and delta state (deep healing, well being, intuition, inspiration). The slower the brainwave becomes the more wholly the brain is being integrated.

It is not known exactly why brainwave synchronicity occurs in some and not others (most of us). Certainly being engaged in an activity one truly enjoys is part of the equation, but not all of it. Most of us who are doing the things we are passionate about still do not experience the level of performance and achievement we would like, so how does one develop brainwave synchronicity, or in other words their ‘mind power’?

There is another group of individuals who are practiced at slowing down their brainwaves and achieving synchronicity – meditators. There is extensive research that consistently demonstrates that an accomplished meditator has a high level of brainwave synchronicity and although the reasons for meditating may not be for peak performance, the quality of the lives of those who do reflect a balanced equanimous mind. It is without doubt that the benefits of meditation boasts a long list, but it is not for everyone. Meditation however, is a serious, disciplined practice that requires patience, diligence and endurance to see results. So what other options are left for someone who would like to achieve whole brain integration?

A more recent method derived from the research of the 70’s and 80’s is brain entrainment. It might sound dubious, but it is a highly effective, easy and enjoyable method by which to achieve brainwave synchronicity. Consisting of listening to sound recordings (binaural beats) designed specifically for the purpose, its effects are long lasting once the brain has been entrained, or habituated to brainwave synchronicity. Brainwave entrainment recordings have been used for decades by those in the know, NASA, Fortune One Hundred Companies, Forex Traders, and many others. But it is only recently that brain entrainment (binaural beats) is entering the mainstream and enabling thousands to benefit from it.

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.

Getting up in the morning can sometimes be difficult. So what can we do about it? How can we wake up fresh and ready to great the new day with a positive attitude? Here are some things you can do in the short term and long term so that you will wake up refreshed and energetic in the morning.

1. Organize your bedroom so that when you first open your eyes you will see beauty. Consider placing art on your walls that brightens your mood, living plants on the dressers that serve as a reminder that you are a part of the cycle of life, and planting a tree or flowering shrubs outside your bedroom window for beauty.

2. When you first wake up take a few long, slow, deep intentional breaths.

3. Wake up and remind yourself to live your day as if you’ll die tomorrow, and at the same time as though you’ll live 200 years.

4. Even before getting out of bed, say something meaningful to yourself out loud. It doesn’t have to be profound, just a few words that affirm that this is your day to live, to make meaningful choices, and to celebrate.

5. Playing music in the morning can set your mood for the day. Consider creating a playlist of your Top 20 Feel Good Songs. Soothing music can help relax, while rhythmic beats might get you dancing in the shower, and party beats can provide a sense of fun.

6. Be mindful of the quality of air in your bedroom. Open the windows often to let out the stale air and let in air that is fresh and full of oxygen.

7. Turn your bedroom into a serene oasis where the worries of the day melt away, and the grand potentials of life greet your eyes in the morning. Choose luxurious bedding, elegant sheets, perfect pillows, and a quality mattress. You deserve it!

8. The colors in your bedroom can have an astounding effect on your mood. Choose a color scheme for your bedroom that creates the type of mood you are looking for. Cool colors such as blues and greens tend to evoke serenity and peace. Pink is extremely calming. Shades of red are energizing and intimate. Pale shades of yellow will reflect light and make the room feel airy and bright. Earth tones are gentle and can create a cozy feeling.

9. Develop a pleasant morning routine that makes you eager to get out of bed. Try going for a light morning walk before showering, meditating, doing some light yoga stretches to get your body moving, or writing in a journal. Experiment and find a routine that works best for you.

10. Have something to be excited about today. When you wake up, think about one specific action or nice thing you can do for yourself that day… then make a solid decision to do it. When you have something you are excited about, you are more likely to get out of bed alert and looking forward to the day.

If you tend to wake up feeling groggy, grumpy, or even sad, consider using one or more of the above tips to help boost your morning mood. These easy ways to perk up help you take charge and feeling more confident to face whatever the day may bring.

Here are 10 unique financial tips that can change your perspective:

1. A car can last a lot longer than five years. It’s just a hunk of metal and plastic rolling around on four tires. If you can avoid attaching your ego to your automobile, you can save a lot of money by driving your car for several more years. Put that car payment into your retirement account instead and see what happens.

2. Know the five types of financial emergencies. Are you prepared for each of them?

Home-related issues, such as a furnace breakage or a leaking roof
Major car repairs
Funeral-related issues. Either paying for a funeral or travelling to one
Medical issues
Job loss
3. Spend five minutes on your finances each evening. A single TV commercial break can last five minutes. Review all of your financial transactions for the day. You should have four minutes to spare after you’re done. Follow up on any discrepancies.

4. Create small money goals. These should be easy to accomplish.

I’ll spend less than $75 on food this week.
I’ll save at least $25 each Friday and deposit it in my savings account.
5. Acquire renter’s insurance. It’s only a couple of dollars each month but can replace your items in case of theft or fire. Even your old computer and milk crate shelves are worth something to you.

6. Find ways to entertain yourself that are free. Much of the money you spend only serves the purpose of making you feel better. Instead of distracting yourself by purchasing things you don’t need, find some free forms of entertainment.

Books and videos from the library
Attend free concerts or listen to music at home.
Throw a Frisbee.
Play cards with friends.
Exercise.
Meditate.
Plant a garden.
7. Pay off your small debts first. You’ll build momentum this way and feel a greater sense of accomplishment. The other alternative is to pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first. It makes more financial sense, but it’s not as satisfying. Decide for yourself.

8. Consider how much it costs to use an item one time. People often don’t like to buy an expensive mattress, but consider how many times, and how many hours, you’ll use it. Even an expensive mattress only costs a few cents each night over the lifetime of the mattress.

How much would a $75,000 Mercedes cost to drive each day? Assuming you keep the car for 5 years, that’s roughly 1800 days. You’d be lucky to sell the car for even 50% of what you paid for it. $37,500/1800 = $21/day. That doesn’t even include the cost of insurance or the interest on your monthly car payments.
9. Avoid having too much in your savings account. Unless you need the money in the very near future, there are better places to store your money. Put your money to work for you with investments. Make a list of a few and choose the one that makes sense.

10. Create a financial mantra that supports your financial goals. Use it each day.

I only buy things I need.
I bring my lunch to work.
I save 10% of my income.

I was 20 years old when my love affair with coloring was re-ignited. Just about to fly home on a 14 hour flight from New Zealand, I was in the airport book store looking for a magazine to pass some hours when my eye was caught by an intriguing looking coloring book. I thought to myself: ’14 hour flight….why not try coloring?’

Armed with a box of pencil crayons and not really expecting my interest to last long, I fastened my seat belt as the plane began its take-off. Thinking full well that the coloring would only last a few minutes before I was lured into the mega-selection of in-flight movies, I was curiously surprised when 30 minutes passed…then an hour…and then 2 hours and I had not even checkout out the movie selection! I had finished my first page in my brand new coloring book and still had 12 hours of flying time left. The rest of the flight passed quickly and gloriously. My love for coloring has only deepened, and here are the reasons why:

The art of coloring is a simple joy. All you need is a coloring book and your choice of tools. From here you can immerse yourself fully into the craft without agonizing about what to make, how to read the pattern, and how will it turn out?

Coloring is a a form of meditation. There is something truly hypnotizing that happens with you sit down with a fresh box of pencil crayons, choose the color that jumps out at you and begin your journey into the page. Time loses its grip on the mind and enables the color-er to become present in the moment, in the line and in the color gliding onto the paper.

Coloring is a great way to bond. Ask your friends over for some wine, cheese and coloring. Perhaps at first they might look at you with skeptical eyes and doubt; but hand over a fresh sheet of paper, some vibrant or glitter colored pens and in just minutes you will not be able to pry those colors out of their fingers. Soon you will be visiting easily, looking over at each-others masterpieces from time to time to admire their selection of colors. You will begin to feel like you have time-traveled back into grade 2 and you do not really want to leave.

Coloring is freeing and has no expectations. The beautiful thing about this craft is that there is no pressure to finish, to use a certain color or even to stay in the lines!!! There is absolute freedom involved in those precious hours where you just get to color.

So to get started, the joy of coloring can be greatly enhanced with the following ingredients:

1. A coloring book with an inspiring pattern
2. Your favorite tools (pencil crayons, glitter pens or crayons work well and feel free to get creative!)
3. A couple of your best friends or family
4. A bottle of red wine or a nice pot of tea
5. Some snacks for the table
6. Some inspiring background music

Now, grab your crayons and books and start coloring! You won’t be disappointed.

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.

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.

We need about 8 hours of good sleep each night until age 60. About one half of elderly people experience some degree of insomnia. But this does not mean that insomnia only occur at golden age. Nowadays more and more people have trouble sleeping. It’s believed that over 20% of world population suffers from sleeping problem. Generally, the cause is poor sleep habits. But in special cases it may be due to aging, alcohol, anxiety, depression, grief, drugs, medications and other stimulants like nicotine, caffeine and alcohol, stress and worrying and many more.

If insomnia leads to depression, and makes you almost impossible to sleep well, you should seek professional help. Do not take this lightly, it might become a more serious health problem.
Taking sedatives can make the problem worse and cannot give you natural and restful sleep. This can lead to a higher dose, affecting your memory and a chance of dependency on those drugs.

The wisest ways to treat this problem:

– Go to bed at the same hour every night
– Go to a medical check to see the cause of the sleeping problem
– Avoid coffee, alcohol and smoking
– Exercise during the day (but not before bed time)
– Try to relax, pay soft music and practice meditation
– Try natural sleeping aids such as aromatherapy

In place of sedatives, many medical practitioners have used lavender, marjoram, geranium, mandarin and cardamom to help patients feel relaxed and get to sleep.

To induce sleepiness, create this aromatherapy recipe. Combine essential oils in you bed room and experience the pleasing smell:

2 drops Jasmine essential oil, 3 drops Roman Chamomile essential oil, 4 drops Lavender essential oil, 6 drops Spikenard essential oil

Diffuse this blend to a diffuser or place a few drops on cotton pads. This recipe could also be used for a relaxing self massage. Treat yourself every night to drift you sweetly to the Land of Dream.

A warm bath just before bed is a great way to relax. The warm water allows for steam inhalation, while it opens pores and allows the oils to be absorbed and can help you to feel sleepy.
When the tub is sufficiently filled, add up to 10 drops of essential oil to water, circulating it throughout. As the oil is moved, the scent will rise with the steam of water. The warmth can help you to feel sleepy.
Just add :

4 drops Chamomile, 2 drops Lavender, 2 drops Neroli, 2 drops Marjoram,

There’s one reason why aromatherapy may be effective for inducing sleep. If you are able to concentrate on the smell of the oils, it will help take your mind off of whatever lingering worries are keeping your muscles and your mind tense. Relax, breath deep, and allow yourself to drift off into a calmer world of peaceful aroma.

Enjoy and have a good night sleep!

Brainwave Entrainment A Self Improvement Tool That is 100 Times Easier Than Meditation and Works Almost Instantly!

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.

How would you like to get access to a very simple audio tool that can help you be more creative, have more energy, improve your focus, and help you sleep better? Sounds good, doesn’t it? The human brain has so much potential, but most people don’t ever investigate ways to tap into this potential. In the last 20 years or so, millions of people have learned that meditation is a great way to be more calm, centered, and improve overall well being and happiness, and I highly recommend meditation for anyone, particularly people who have trouble sleeping.

The trouble is, meditation is not easy. It requires you to sit and focus and concentrate, without moving, and frankly, for most people, it just won’t work because they don’t have the willpower or self-discipline to spend the time needed over the long haul to get the benefits from it. I don’t know of any statistics, but as someone who has wrestled with meditation for years, I would say at least 90% of people quit within a week – it’s just too hard!

Now there is an EASY alternative, called binaural beats. There is a lot of science behind it, which I won’t bore you with. However, what I will tell you is that the basic premise is that your brain is always working at a certain frequency; your brainwaves are the indicators of that frequency. Different moods, such a REM sleep happens at certain frequencies, and periods of intense creativity and focus, happen naturally when your brain is working at those corresponding frequencies. Meditators are slowly changing their brains’ frequency, but with no tools other than sitting quietly, it can take hours on end, week after week, unless of course you’re a Zen monk with year of practice already.

Here’s the thing: your brain responds quickly to sound input. Think of how quickly your mood changes when you listen to certain kinds of music. It’s almost instant, and it can be very powerful. Well, binaural beats are just as powerful. What “binaural” means is that you have two (bi) sounds, each having a different frequency, one for each ear. Your brain hears both frequencies at the same time and processes the sound, merging it into a single frequency, which changes your brainwaves to match the frequency.

Therefore, if you want to be more focused, you just listen to a binaural audio that was created specifically to improve focus. Sometimes they add in accompanying other sounds too, like white noise, waves crashing, or other sounds of nature, and in the background are the binaural frequencies. Either way, it works great, and the reports back from people who have tried it are incredible!

This guy Paul, down in Queensland Australia found that binaural beats helped him to focus on his writing, and he got so excited by it that he brought in a sound engineer friend of his to create custom binaural “beat” audio programs. Then he packaged them up and is offering them inexpensively on his website.

These really work, and the best part is that you get all the benefits of meditation and self-hypnosis and other tools that change your brain, but you don’t have to do any work. You can just listen to the audio for a few minutes before you fall asleep at night, when you wake up in the morning, or at any point throughout your day. You can definitely listen while you are working at your desk. There are many benefits, but of course you have to listen to the audio program that Paul created that matches the benefit that you want to receive.

Here are some of the audio programs Paul is offering in his program, called My Mind Shift:

* Motivation
* Concentration
* Focus
* Awareness
* Learning/Training
* Relaxation
* Anxiety Reduction
* Stress Reduction
* Better Sleep
* Meditation

What really blew me away were the testimonials this guy got from people – everything from reducing splitting headaches to people getting their first full night’s sleep in years, and actually remembering their lucid dreams, to fantastic creativity and concentration. We could all use more of that!

These binaural beats seem very promising, with no effort or work required, but the only way to know for sure if they will work for you is to give them a try yourself. So visit the link below and read up on the subject yourself. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised.
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.
