meditation music How to Choose the Right Meditation CDs

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.

Someone recently brought up the issue of being a “jack of all trades – master of none”. She stated that she is always taking action, but it is scattered and does not produce the results she would like.

Are you merely taking action for the sake of doing “something”? That is called creative distraction. What is your intention? What is your desired outcome? If you are just moving with no clear destination, your actions will not bring about dynamic results. The secret is inspired action. What does that mean? Think of in-spired as in-Spirit. It is action moving in the direction of your purpose.

Perhaps you are not clear on your life purpose. Take the time to ask yourself what your life is all about. What is it you were put here to do? If you are unsure, dig deep and trust your feelings. What makes your heart sing? What would you do with no thought of reward if all your needs were met? Don’t be confused by the thought of life purpose. It is not near as ominous as it sounds.

Part of my purpose is to serve others. I do that in many ways. As a coach, I support my clients, as a chiropractor I served my patients health needs. In my day to day life, it may be as simple as tending to the plants, making coffee for someone, cooking a meal, or doing a favor for a friend. Your purpose may be to be an accountant, a teacher, a salesperson, or anything you do. It does not have to sound important and earth shaking. Just being the best at what you do and going the extra mile and doing it with joy is serving a high purpose.

When you are doing all of the activities, are you searching for more meaning in your life? Do you scatter your energies and become distracted from what is in front of you? If you are not clear on what to do next, try being 100% present in your task at hand. Doing the dishes can become a meditation. Concentrate on doing the best you can do with what you have right now. Be in the moment. Focus your actions and attention on your present circumstances. Pay attention to the details. Do one thing and master it before moving on to the next.

It is wonderful and stimulating to have varied interests. We all love excitement. When it comes to action, it will serve you best if you have a plan of action. Get clear with your intention and what you would like as an outcome. Then get very focused on creating that one thing. Leave the stimulation for reading a new book or listening to new music. When it comes to action for a purpose, stay the course on that one end result.

Start practicing your focus with a 21 day plan. Create a goal. Just one small, goal that you are confident you can achieve. Be consistent and do all the steps with your focus on that one goal. That action will help you to keep your energy focused on one thing.

You can do it. Let go of all the creative distractions!

sleep meditation Harmonious Love in a Relationship

Leave a reply

LOVE: The experience of a blissful and highly gratifying feeling that elicits a deep desire and enthusiasm to live one’s life to the fullest.

In the dawning of morning light
In the sound of wind through the trees
An ocean wave laps upon the shore
and the sparkle in your eyes reminds me of
My reason for being…
At one with the essence of the universe

Feeling love motivates one to express /share this feeling with another (personally or through some creative expression e.g. art, music career etc.) and when Love is shared there are some common characteristics that people express with each other:

Reverence, Respect, Fun, Compassion, Affection, Inspiration, Truth, Clarity, Harmony Trust, Centered, Oneness

Unity with the divine….add your own

The two polar opposites that negate love or take us away from that feeling of being at the center of the universe are extremes of:

Constriction and Expansion
Confinement and Abandonment
Hot and Cold
Etc and Etc.
Yin and Yang

At times when Love seems missing from our life we are feeling the above extremes-a separation from LOVE. Remind yourself of a heated relationship conflict you have experienced in the past– the common denominator in almost every dispute is; someone is feeling abandoned (craving connection) and the other is feeling confined (wants space). The distance between people is often proportional to the quantity and volume of the words said out loud or spoken in our heads.

When people are feeling closely connected…whispers, smiles and the language of our eyes or hands are all that is necessary.

IF it hurts it’s not Love:
Hurt is associated with the two antonyms of LOVE-Hate* and Fear*

If you Love someone and they leave you and it hurts then you are feeling something other than love- If you love someone you want them to be happy even if it means he/she is leaving you…. AND….nobody leaves you and you cannot leave anybody.

LOVE or Lack of it is always Mutual.

Enough Love brings and keeps people together When there is a predominance of Love people stay together
Lack of enough love sends people apart When there is a predominance of Fear people move apart

Sally says she tried everything to keep the relationship going but Sam was numb to his feelings and showed no effort- “He just picked up and left one day. Sam left me and it hurts.”

Sam may have appeared to be the one to leave. BUT there are both conscious and sub conscious attitudes and behaviors that are contributed by both partners, which ultimately disintegrated the amount of love that is necessary to sustain a loving relationship. There are no victims of love. Both partners participate in coming together and in breaking apart.

Every event happens be cause of choices we make to bring us to where we are. While it may be easier to blame someone for why we are here today, it is wiser to take response ability for our contribution to the situation.

It takes TWO to Tango and it takes Two to Not.
Both partners contribute to the Love or lack of Love for both themselves and the relationship.

Paul says he knows Sarah is his soulmate. He is deeply in love with her and trusts that one day she will feel the same. He sends her poems, food, flowers and there is no other woman he cares for. Sarah says: “I love you Paul, just not in that way. We can be friends.”

Reality: Neither of them wants to be together in a lasting loving partnership. Paul is not in love with Sarah – He is in love with the deep desire he feels. When he gets to a place where he loves himself more deeply, his desire will attract someone who shares what it takes to accumulate enough complementary chi to co-create an intimate loving partnership.

Fear is often brought out in our relationships as a reminder of what we truly value. If one fears abandonment or confinement in a relationship, there are two healthy options:

1) Resolve the fear, which brings people closer and is the reason why it comes up in the first place-to bring people closer together
2) Accept that the fear is a signal to Love in a different way.

It takes one person to love AND it takes two people who love themselves to be in a lasting loving relationship.

Each person can express love and that love can influence the other person

Instead of changing someone’s behavior, by changing our response and attitude to the other’s behavior, we bring love to the relationship.

E.g. – John is too tired to take out the garbage after 10 pm. Mary is afraid to do it and gets upset that it sits all night in the kitchen. Instead of changing John, Mary looks within and resolves in herself that nothing will happen to her and starts taking out the garbage…. John sees this and for some uncanny reason decides that if Mary can do it so can he… and they both end up taking the turns with garbage removal.

Forget the shoulds, the judgments, I am right? Who is wrong?
Leave out the primal separation of ego and listen.. en joy the resulting sweet song

If you ask people to write a list of what they would like to improve their relationship, you will see wishes like: I wish my partner would communicate more with me or I wish my partner would be neater… and any number of requests that try to change the other.

I wish the _______ (the other person) would ________(fill in the wish)

Basing our love and happiness on the behavior of an other disempowers our personal path to feeling and expressing self – love and is a sure step to sabotaging our relationship.

Remember:No one can change an other person

Everything we want an other to do is a reflection of something inside ourselves that desires attention and improvement

Instead of needing and trying to get Richard to communicate to others without sarcastic criticism, Jane can find that place in herself that accepts Richard’s communication style. After all, she knows he really means no harm by it. She can also recognize that avoiding sarcastic criticism reflects an aspect of herself that she is trying to be better at. As long as it is one of Janes’s issues, she will continue to be bothered by it. And the easiest way to feel the shift is for Jane to *GENUINELY change her reaction to Richard’s style by not taking it personally and to focus on her own desire to communicate differently.

Make a list of things you would like your partner to do, accept your partner for being him/herself and be more conscious of changing those qualities in your self.

You may be surprised how the shift of being in you own needs takes the focus off needing something from your partner and paradoxically influences your partner to also share in making changes. We can also without accusation or expectation, *GENUINELY request or simply give our partner a heads up of the change.

“Richard, I would really enjoy having less sarcasm around the house. Would you be into that too? OR
“Richard, I would really enjoy having less sarcasm around the house.
I’m going to cool my use of it.
Sally, does that mean you expect me to nicer (spoken sarcastically)?
Honey I love you the way you are. This is a choice I’m making for myself and I simply want you to know how I feel.

The breadth of our love is measured by our health condition.

Oxygenation, circulation, blood sugar regulation and the gamut of other health challenges one can be attracted to, all determine our health condition that attracts and creates a complementary relationship to learn and feel the lessons of love with.

Lisa’s sensitivity to being pressured (confinement issues) that seem to come up when she’s tired is a sure set up for her to be in a relationship that brings up this issue. She will attract someone who pushes her buttons. The better she becomes at stabilizing her energy level, the more adaptable and focused she can be on more important issues in her relationship-and she is no longer a victim of men who pressure her.

Gratitude for Life measures the vitality our health condition.

How often do you thank your lucky stars for being alive? How often do you complain about the circumstances you have attracted? How often do you express appreciation for the people around you? Are you cynical about life? Do you criticize or blame others? When we are healthy in body/mind/spirit we view the world and all its relationships as a perfect opportunity for emotional and spiritual growth. Negativity is a sure sign of a compromised health condition and a threat to the safety of any relationship.

Success in relationship is proportional to each partner’s
attitude of gratitude/grace ful attitude

How often do you and your partner express (verbally or through actions)

“Thank-You”

The vitality of our health is directly proportional

to the vitality of the relationship we attract and create.

The healthier we are, the more adaptable we will be to the many challenges of relationship and the greater will our ability to stay together be. Love wanes when the overall love/health of the relationship wanes.

If one or both persons’ love/health lacks vitality it can affect the relationship AND All challenges arise because the relationship has what it takes to heal/love and get back to vitality.

ADVICE: If one or both people in the relationship are tired or hurting, wait…. sleep on it. Exercise, meditate…become clear. Get back to vitality before making major decisions.

All challenges will bring up the two healthy options:

1) Resolving the fear of conflict brings partners closer and is usually the reason why fear comes up in the first place-to bring people closer together. Our differences bring us closer as long as we have the vitality to adapt and resolve…to come up with creative out of the box solutions that satisfy each partner 100%…(and enjoy the reward of make-up sex but more importantly to feel a new depth of connection that surpasses our imagination)

Breathe… feel the impulses that make us want to run-

behind this intensity echoes the sacred sound of divine silence
Stay with it -where is it in your body, breathe…circulate
Let this physical sensation fuel your vitality…clarity
the miracle of understanding surfaces
behind that mask of darkness comes the light of Love
see the solution…shining, radiating
brighter than we ever knew possible…and it is warm…soft..home at last)

2) Accept that the fear is a signal to Love in a different way.

When the fear is based in a truth that would dishonor one’s integrity and ultimately cause harm to your soul, it’s time to change the relationship to one that is more distant. This kind of fear represents a circumstance with effects that are too extreme for one to bear and still remain healthy. Love can still exist in gratitude to the journey so far and the relationship, will from this point on look and feel different than what you might have originally thought.

Can Your Relationship Withstand the Test of Time? The 4 C’s

Connection-

Do you feel an intangible yet compelling attraction to the other person? Aside from physical attraction, lust or magnetic desire, that are important, a connection also manifests as consistent (daily) pervasive thoughts and feelings about the other person and the resulting important relationship you share. These thoughts and feelings evoke support, desire and the inspiration to live life to the fullest.

Simply: Is the strength of your relationship greater than the sum of your strength as individuals?

Compatibility- Do you share a life dream? Do you have similar opinions on how to walk your life path, Do you share laughter and passion? Do you have ways to deal with your differences i.e. Are you reasonably comfortable with your “uncomfort abilities”? Are you compatible on the most important things, especially how you deal with the troublesome incompatibilities?

Simply: Do you like and love your partner?

Communication-Do you communicate respect and acceptance to your partner regularly and avoid rude and defensive communication as much as possible? The best communication tip is to avoid conveying anything that is over-flavored with superiority, over-control, judgment, insensitivity, dishonest strategy, rudeness or negativity. We quite simply react poorly to these attitudes and they cause separation instead of unity.

“words spoken in anger, instead of resolving differences
only create new ones”- Oksana

Another good tip is to make sure resentments are spoken instead of hidden or they will fester and chip away at any good commitment/ foundation of a relationship. The object is to talk about the resentments assertively without blaming or complaining.

Simply: Does your communication with your partner help you know your inner self better and are you grateful for the vulnerability you experience in your partner’s presence?

Commitment: Aside from addiction, adultery and abuse are you both committed/ devoted to resolving any and all challenges together? (And that is a yes or no question).

Do you trust each other’s words to be consistent with actions? Do you instinctively consider your partner’s needs when making decisions?

Simply: Can you depend on your partner. Can you trust your partner to care for you as much as him/her self?

To score 100% on these 4 relationship qualities deserves a monument in the Smithsonian….. and the bottom line is that the sum of all our conscious and subconscious behaviors and attitudes will result in unity or separation.

Addiction: a state of dependence that harms /has a damaging effect.

We require emotional fuel- Emotions are like food -Without feelings we will die. Relationships are the source of our feelings because other people reflect qualities in our selves that nourish or deplete our souls. So we have the choice of being nourished through, healthy clean and vital relationships that eventually lead to enlightenment or through junky, toxic experiences that lead us to soul suffering. Again, it is our health condition or the desire to change our health condition that determines the quality of our relationships. Toxic relationships are mostly motivated by fear and pain and rarely stand the test of time.

When making decisions for our self and for the relationship, ask, which choice will bring vital health?

Does working 60 hrs a week improve or harm the relationship? Does sarcasm or ridicule bring vitality or burn out? What effect will kindness and compassion have on your relationship?

Is my decision motivated by Fear or Love?

If it is by fear, how can that fear point out what you value and be turned into inspiration? If the decision is motivated by love a lasting relationship (of some kind) will result.

Subconscious Health

Many of our life patterns that lead to pain and fear are the result of subconscious patterns etched into the foundation (genetic karmic, social, cultural) of our body mind spirit that motivate us to sabotage our conscious wishes for healthy relationships.

BIG question -How do we alter or transform patterns that we are in the dark about? Again it all comes back to our health condition. All health problems are caused by living a life predominated by too many extremes.

High on alcohol or drugs-> hangover Burnout
Excess activity-> fatigue, pains
Too little sleep-> neurological disorders
Too many saturated fats-> heart attack
Confined-> Abandoned
Contracted->Expanded
Too yang-> Too yin

Lets look at how we can affect our subconscious mind through moderating our lifestyle- creating a BALANCE that nourishes our health condition

Physical Recommendations:

Sleep-Are you creating extremes in your sleeping patterns? Do you get enough sleep and do you sleep deeply? What can you do balance your sleep and activity levels?

Sleep is the time reserved for our subconscious mind to work out the “stuff” that keeps us from feeling our natural vital state. Avoid eating before sleep, clear your bedroom space, and impregnate your mind with affirmations and prayers before sleep. Conceive your supreme destiny. E.G: (can be done as you are falling asleep)

With every breath I feel the Universal Life Force entering my body. I breathe and feel every cell of my body being nourished and cleansed. I empty my mind of thoughts – As thoughts come I breathe them away and instead focus on these words:

The power of healthy change lies within me and I am energized by all that is around me
My sub conscious self continues to move my body mind spirit to make decisions and actions that empower me by improving my health… vital health of body mind spirit
With every breath I am becoming healthier
My sub conscious self continues to move my body mind spirit to make decisions and actions that empower me by improving my health… vital health of body mind spirit
With every breath I am becoming healthier

Breath- O2 is our no 1 life essential nutrient and Co2 is our no 1 toxic metabolic by -product. Efficient breathing nourishes and cleanses our blood. Extreme ups and downs in our breathing patterns also affects the heart rate, blood pressure and are the root of tension, mood swings and anxiety. Slowing our breath through quiet deep diaphragmic breathing improves the condition of our lungs. When our lungs are clear our brain is clear and instead of anal lies ing, creative solutions intuitively surface. Exercise and spend more time in nature away from polluted cities. Got a relationship problem? Go somewhere where the air is clean, feel the earth under your feet, jump in the lake, walk in the trees, eat a meal made over a fire and you will be surprised at the clarity you experience. Internal energy exercises like yoga, tai chi and chi kung clear the brain and strengthen the internal body as well as the outer framework.

Food- Extreme eating patterns are the next factor in creating vital health. Do you eat enough vegetables? How often do you eat junk food? sugar? Choosing organic wholesome foods over junk food that tax the body will allow us to use our energy for making healthy decisions instead of eliminating chemicals hormones and antibiotics. Better yet, grow your own food in a garden or planters on your balcony- planting seeds yourself and taking care of your own foods permeates the plants with a complementary energy customized to heal your body.

Emotional Recommendations

How is your emotional balance? Do you experience extreme highs and lows in your moods? Learn to feel before you react in a way you will regret. When someone pushes your buttons… Listen to where you feel this emotion. Instead of chasing it away by judging arguing, crying for pity, pleasing others, having a drink etc..take 5-15seconds to feel the sensation. Use the breath to empty yourself of thoughts and use the feeling for healing. You will find that this slowing down and fueling yourself with the physical sensations found in your feelings will stop you from reacting in ways that damage your relationship.

This method will help you to respect yourself and everyone you come in contact with. When in doubt choose peace.

Spiritual Recommendations

Are you spiritually balanced? Do you have a sense of spiritual direction that you experience regularly? When making a decision ask, does this choice move me closer to my dream in life or send me back a few steps. Cultivate your intuition instead of your logical brain because over anal lies ing your choices keeps you stuck in the past.

Emptying the brain through daily meditation/sitting quietly makes room for genuine truths-(truths that further your consciousness and health) to surface. Relationships are the root of our social condition on planet earth. The reverence we feel within and express outwardly in our personal and family relationships overflows, to bring peace to the planet.

Breathe…Feel…. and be love.

Notes:

*Hatred is an emotion of intense revulsion, distaste, or antipathy for a person, thing, or phenomenon, generally attributed to a desire to avoid, restrict, remove, or destroy the hated object -Wilkipedia

*Fear is a repulsive feeling of apprehension or distress caused by the presence or anticipation of danger. Fear always pertains to something that has yet to happen. It is a feeling that holds us back based on the memory of a past dangerous experience that we anticipate may happen in the future.

In the presence of actual danger people often report a feeling of surrender -a place where fear disappears. Fear exists in the present moment when we anticipate something that has yet to and may never happen at all, or will never happen exactly as we are making it up to be. I.E. Fear is usually something imaginary, AND if we consistently commit many moments/nows to the eventual happening, then it may eventually happen.

GENUINELY means we really ask or make comments from a place in ourselves that is free of hidden agendas. If manipulation or judgment is there our partner will feel it making more trouble than we imagined.

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.

alpha meditation | alpha brain state
It is important to get a good night sleep. Ask my brother, he’s a doctor and can’t stress enough the importance of a proper night sleep. Sleeping is my favorite pass time and I have no trouble getting a full eight hours but my husband tosses and turns all night long. He rarely gets a full night sleep and it shows in his mood and health. The worst part is he argues with me over the need for good sleep. Unfortunately this is true for many people. Either they don’t believe they need more sleep, don’t know how to get good night sleep or don’t understand the benefits of sleep.

Sleep is important. As reported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Are you getting that? It is proven that our bodies require sleep in the same way they it needs to eat, drink of breath. Healthy sleep habits promote physical health, longevity and emotional well-being. That’s why you feel better after a good night sleep. I find the days I don’t sleep well my judgment is poor, my mood is negative and ability to concentrate is weakened. Again, it’s important. Studies have shown that those who do get the appropriate amount of sleep regularly live longer, healthier lives.

That brings us to people who want to sleep but can’t seem to get that full night sleep. Obviously this needs to be a priority. Start by setting aside the eight hours need to sleep. Don’t over-schedule yourself leaving five or six hours to sleep. Next, establish a healthy bedtime routine. Go to bed at the same time each night. Don’t eat right before your turn in for the night. Engage in a relaxing activity before bedtime like reading, listening to music or meditating. If you have problems getting comfortable try using a body pillow or other kind of specialty pillow to prepare your body for rest.

The benefits of sleep are invaluable. It improves the quality and length of one’s life. First it repairs your body by producing extra protein molecules while you’re resting that strengthen the body’s ability to fight infection. As we all know, sleep reduces stress by lowering blood pressure and elevated levels of stress hormones. For those women out there that have experienced pregnancy I believe you’d back me on the statement that sleep improves your memory. I swear I got dumber with each child but really I was simply sleep deprived. Sleeping well gives your brain a chance to organize and correlate memories and without it your mind feels foggy and you struggle to concentrate. Now this benefit is for my husband. Sleep can improve your mood. With insufficient sleep people become agitated and form a negative mood that follows them all day. Another great benefit is sleep helps control body weight issues by regulating the hormones that affect and control appetite. That’s the only reason I need for getting enough sleep.

A good night sleep is important. Studies have shown that those who do get the appropriate amount of sleep regularly live longer, healthier lives. Make getting a good night sleep a priority by establishing a health bedtime routine so you can enjoy the many benefits of sleep, namely, a good mood. I love you honey.

meditation music Which Tuning Forks to Use for Meditation or to Start Sound Therapy

Leave a reply

First, the reason why there are two recommendations is because the Body Tuners are an unweighted set and the Otto 128 and Ohm/Earth Tuners are weighted tuning forks. You can start with either set however I recommend both. The difference between the weighted and unweighted is that the weighted work better on the body whereas the unweighted forks work best around the body and by the ears.

Otto 128 and Earth Ohm Weighted Tuning Forks

The Otto 128 and Ohm Earth Weighted Tuning forks are placed on the body or by the ears. When placed on the body they help to release nitric oxide, a naturally occurring gas in our blood which helps to reduce inflammation. In general, these weighted tuning forks will help your body to relax and release tension.

When placed by the ears these forks create what is known as an alpha wave. An alpha wave or alpha state as it is often called is where you are mentally when you are relaxed, say at the end of the day or walking in the park. For reference, a beta state is when you are alert such as being focused at work or at that moment when you’ve been in a near miss in an accident or you notice your child about to run into traffic, very alert and aware.

So the Otto 128 and Earth Ohm Tuner are great for creating a relaxed state physically and mentally. They are easy to use and you can start working with them in minutes.

Body Tuners

These two unweighed forks are known as the perfect 5th in music terms. They are also called Shiva and Shakti and Yin and Yang. Unlike the weighteds, these are not normally placed on the body. Instead they are placed around the body and by the ears. They help to tune and balance the nervous system and bring about mental calmness and quiet the mind. They too only take minutes to learn and are easy to use. They are light weight and fit easily in a purse, glove compartment or office drawer.

Either of these sets are a great starting point learning about tuning forks, sound therapy, to begin a meditation, massage or healing session.

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.

Without hypnosis, they have a hard time doing so, but with it, it is easier than they could have ever imagined.

Hypnosis online sites also talk about subjects that are associated with hypnosis. There’s brainwave entertainment, which hypnotists use in order to put an effect on the brain of their customers. If you get into self-hypnosis, you don’t need a hypnotist. Just buy the hypnosis CD yourself and use it at your own time and in the comfort of your own home.
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.

Brainwave Entrainment Manage Your Physical Symptoms of Awakening Using Brainwave Entrainment

Leave a reply

During your awakening process, where you shift from your current limited state, in the third dimension, to a higher vibration or dimension and level of consciousness, you may experience physical symptoms that you are spiritually evolving.

Entrainment can encourage healing in any of the areas that you are affected, and can do so in a consistent, stable manner. When any physical symptoms appear, you can induce your dominant brainwave frequency to reflect the stimulus, activating the areas of your brain that resonate healing for these symptoms.

Physical Symptoms of Awakening

Please be advised that these symptoms could be a sign of an actual physical illness that may need to be addressed by a medical professional. Don’t delay if your intuition says that you need help.

?Tingling or crawling sensations. This is a sign that your Crown Chakra is opening. Of course you could have lice too… kidding.

?You either can’t sleep or you want to sleep all of the time.

?You wake up at night between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Because you are connecting to a higher dimension, visiting the other side as it were, it can be intense and you need to come back into your third dimensional body for a break. You are also doing a lot of cleansing and releasing during those hours, and that can be disruptive.

?Your skin reflects physical changes, especially if toxins are released when your Chakras are being cleared of blockages… it will manifest in hives, eczema, rashes, zits, shingles, warts. An old allergy may be brought to the surface to be released.

?You may feel like you are constantly having sugar lows. Weight gain may appear as you fuel up for the awakening. Brainwave entrainment is especially good in helping maintain sugar levels and de-activating cravings.

?The color of your eyes may change. Yes, really. Mine did. I went from dark brown to gold/green. Whenever I doubt myself, I just look at my old school photos. I also have a freckle in my iris now. Marks can appear, the size of the your iris may change, as well as the color.

?Hot flashes… and you don’t have to be a woman or in menopause. Sweat, fevers, flashes of heat… all part of the process.

?Feeling a vibration-like a phantom phone vibrating in your pocket. All that is happening, is that your body is noticing the increased energy coursing through your body system.

?Spasms and shaking. This is from the Kundalini as it rises.

?You may experience unusual aches and pains. Once you cleanse your blocked areas, these symptoms will disappear. Note: the strength of the pain is in direct correlation with how intense the blockage.

?Increased awareness of your heartbeat… and how it seems to skip a beat or two.

Brainwave entrainment is a good way to balance out some of these symptoms, making your awakening journey much more comfortable.

Awakening is usually a long, slow process and eliminating some of the physical symptoms may speed up your transformation.

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.

Doesn’t it seem as though there’s no rest for the weary? And, doesn’t it also seem as though the weary person is usually mom? That’s probably because moms take care of home and household as well as everything in between. So the question one must ask is; who takes care of mom? The answer? You do! If you happen to be a busy mom, odds are you need to learn to value yourself and your own personal needs by scheduling some special alone time.

This personal time is a right of yours and is a real necessity for busy moms. All busy moms have the ability to nurture others but that constant care and giving can definitely takes its toll.
For example, a vehicle needs gasoline to make it run. Sooner or later the gas will run out and you won’t be able to use your car until it’s filled up with fuel. This analogy also goes for you. If you don’t find the time to replenish your body and mind, just like a car engine, you simply won’t function. Even worse, if you do try and push things to the limit, you run the risk of developing emotional or physical issues brought on by excess demands on your system. You need to maintain your emotional well-being, to ensure your running in top shape and with a full tank of gas.

By taking personal mom time, you allow yourself to refuel, so that you can provide for your family and for yourself. Next time you feel overstretched, don’t be ashamed or afraid to take fifteen minutes to sit and decompress. Here are a few tips to help you fit in some much needed “mom” time:

1. Wake up early if needed.

When you have kids, the day begins at a hurried and hectic pace. Once your day begins, you need to hit the ground running and there is very little opportunity to stop. By waking half an hour before everyone else, you can create some private time for a little peace and solitude to enjoy a cup of coffee, meditate, listen to some music, or read a book.

2. Find an outdoor escape.

In the spring or summer, relaxing in a backyard hammock or lounge chair under a tree is often the perfect escape from the pressures of the day. Sitting quietly reading a book or magazine for a while can seem like bliss to many moms.

3. Ask your partner for help. Obviously children love their mothers but father time is important as well. Get your partner to take care of the kids and let them bond together while you go out shopping, for a coffee with girlfriends, or simply enjoy a hobby around the house. The time is yours so do whatever you’d like. Just know that if you stay around the house, you run the risk of having your personal time interrupted.

4. Turn unexceptional occurrences into major events.

What do I mean by this you ask? Well when you take a bath try adding scented candles, bubbles, soothing music and a bath pillow or headrest. All of a sudden, a normal bath has taken on a spa like atmosphere and is a much more enjoyable experience. Another way to make a normal event become extraordinary is to turn a movie into a theatre-like experience. Try turning out the lights, making some popcorn, getting rid of the phone and other distractions and curling up on the couch with some pillows and blankets.

5. Fit in exercise breaks.

When you get a few spare minutes in a day, probably the last thing you want to do is exercise but by getting a little physical activity in your day, you can create some far-reaching positive results. Not only does exercise allow you to stretch your muscles but it also lets you think more clearly and drains away stress as natural endorphins are released into your body. To make this task easier, try doing some jumping jacks while watching television or try jogging to the bus stop or school when you pick up your kids

6. Make sure to laugh.

Get one of those joke a day calendars for the kitchen or find a website that offer a daily joke. You can also find plenty of videos on YouTube that are sure to provide a good laugh. This recommendation should not be overlooked as laughing reduces stress and helps lift your spirits, not to mention keeping your abdominal muscles tight.

7. Use the Boy Scout motto.

The boy scouts learn to “Always be prepared.” If you head this advice, you will be able to spend more time in a relaxed state. By staying on top of things you will incur less stress. For example, try preparing lunches, ironing clothes, and having your children place their backpacks by the front door the night before. The fewer things you find yourself scrambling to do throughout the day, the calmer and better off you’ll be when it comes to simply enjoying the downtime spent with your family.

So moms, please be sure to take proper care of yourself and mix in a bit of private time. You can only demand so much from yourself and your family would miss you terribly if you weren’t around to love and care for them the best you could. You owe it to yourself to take a break from the daily grind and refuel your engine!

Brainwave Entrainment A Western View of Acupuncture

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.

Acupuncture is a mystery to many of us in the Western world. While acupuncture and Oriental medical theories have slowly been integrated with modern medicine in just the past few decades, its history dates back over 5000 years. Along with this integration comes the task of translating concepts and ideas that have been explained and recorded in Oriental cultural terms. All this talk of Yin and Yang, Qi and Blood stagnation and other foreign terms can lead the Western trained mind to confusion and disbelief of how and why this ancient form of medicine actually works.

Viewed from a Western perspective, acupuncture can be explained through the laws of physics and physiology. Just as electrical brainwaves circulate the brain, and electromagnetic impulses keep the heart beating properly, the body as a whole is filled with tiny pathways or meridians, which carry very subtle electrical impulses throughout. Meridians are more basic than the circulatory or nervous systems, however they travel very close to one another and work as a team to keep the body’s systems running smoothly. These subtle electrical vibrations cannot be seen with the naked eye, but their effects are greatly noticeable. Meridians can be detected with the use of special infrared imaging. The meridian system will typically appear more transparent in nature, than the surrounding, more opaque, tissue and fluid.

Stimulating specific points on the meridians will create a change in the vibration or oscillation of energy, which in turn, induces the release of certain chemicals and nutrients. These chemical reactions lead to the relief of pain and inflammation and release of mood enhancing neurotransmitters, such as endorphins and serotonin. The amazing part is that no outside chemicals need to be introduced to the body. All chemicals are already residing in the body, so there are no harsh side effects from treatment.

In example, a patient complaining of back pain was given acupuncture at a point behind the knee, historically used to treat back pain. A thermogram (imaging system detecting heat) was taken before treatment, showing areas of bright red and yellow on the back, indicating heat or inflammation. After 27 minutes of acupuncture, the second thermogram showed no red or yellow areas. The inflammation as well as the pain had subsided. With a series of treatments, the inflammation can be permanently reduced or eliminated.

Many diseases can be treated and healed using acupuncture, as it affects the body as a whole, and does not treat just specific ‘parts’. Acupuncture naturally treats health issues ranging from headache to insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue, menopause, pain, infertility, autoimmune disorders, and is even being used in hospitals to treat stroke victims.

In our modern Western culture, Albert Einstein taught us that everything in the universe is made up of energy patterns. Many ancient cultures knew this concept to be true, thousands of years ago. Acupuncture is an effective means of healing the body naturally, using its own energy patterns to create the chemical changes needed for optimal health. Its integration into our modern medical culture will continue to build awareness and understanding of the science behind this time tested method of healing.

meditation music Practicing Mindfulness

Leave a reply

Last night I went to yoga class at my local gym. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a class (though I do a little practice on my own and incorporate techniques with my clients.) I was once again reminded how important the mind-body connection is. Within minutes I was breathing deeper, my racing thoughts were slowing down, and I began to experience “flow”—an integrated consciousness connecting mind, body and sprit with fluid movement, an unbroken stream of consciousness and a peaceful connection to myself and the outside world. The moves (asanas) gradually grew in intensity but in yoga you are encouraged to accept “where” you are at at that moment. You don’t worry about how limber the neighbor next to you may be, or how you well did or didn’t do at the last class. You become the moment you are in, listening and connecting to your body. You may also rest in child’s pose at anytime if you like. There is no judgement, on others and most importantly on yourself. I left my class last night feeling relaxed and incredibly rejuvenated at the same time, a part of the yin and yang of yoga.

I want to share some thoughts I have on mindfulness, and how important it is to take the time to make the mind-body connection. Most of us face serious life challenges that interrupt our natural hormonal rhythms and sleep patterns. The world is a stressful place, now more than ever. Work, family, external stimuli, lack of sleep, poor eating habits, all lead to a more stressful life. We must not underestimate how debilitating and damaging living in this stressful, chronic state of worry is. According to the American Psychological Association (2010), stress has long-term effects on the immune system, cardiovascular system, reproductive system, and skin and muscular system. When you’re stressed out your immune system weakens, leading to illness more often. Higher blood pressure is also linked to stress and you may also suffer tension and/or pain in the neck, shoulders and back.

Time tested yoga and meditation techniques for developing mindfulness and flow not only help you physically and mentally, but also helps you cope with stress in the outside world.

I encourage you to incorporate some type of yoga or meditation at least once or twice a week. (There are many dvd’s and even online yoga classes if you can’t get to a gym/studio.) Or take a few minutes and do the following meditation exercises (2-3 minute intervals) once a day, or at least several times a week.

Quick Mediation:

Find a quiet spot. Start by sitting in a comfortable, cross-legged position or lie down. You can play soothing music, dim the lights, set the mood.

Close your eyes and begin slow, deep breathing. Feel the breath moving in and out of the nose and filling your diaphragm. Imagine your breath slowly spreading throughout your body.

Focus on the consciousness of the cool breath in and the warm breath out.

As your mind wanders try to put those thoughts aside until your done with your meditation.

Occupy your mind with a simple mantra.

Ex: I am life, I am peace, I am love.

Practice Mindfulness- – – – unifying the mind, body and spirit!

Have a Healthy Day,
