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.

This article is written for everyday situations, not extraordinary ones. It is written for extraordinary people. The gentle ones. The kind ones. The doormats.
Are you tired of being roped into doing things you can’t or don’t want to do? Here’s the cure.
There are people referred to as doormats because they are constantly being walked over by others. Occasionally others will wipe their dirt or whatever else is underfoot on doormats also. Perhaps you too are a doormat.
I must say that as well intentioned as people are we must keep in mind that they are predators. All of us devour things. It is how life happens on this plane of existence. In order to survive we prey on other things. And although a good person would not normally steal or rob another, we often take advantage of other’s weaknesses on occasion. We all do it. In most cases it is done without thinking or our even knowing we are doing it. How can this be? Certain people cannot say no. Either out of their own vanity and ego or due to their poor self esteem, they feel they must please and perform for others. The “others” often don’t know or don’t want to know of the doormats dilemma. It is so easy for them to feign ignorance when it serves their purpose.
Altruism may exist but don’t ever expect to encounter it in it’s pure form in this world. This is a predatory world system. Man is a social animal that happens to be a very highly evolved predator. If you desire to believe that many people are kind and caring that is acceptable. But I’m trying to get through to those who are used and taken advantage of constantly. To survive you must either be as cold and ruthless as the general population or practice the art of bluff, evasion, camouflage, and if need be, mental self defence.
If this sounds physical it is. Words are sounds and energy. Words lead to things like confrontation. People who bully their way through life have learned to master confrontation and use it to their advantage. They seek out people like you because they know you want to avoid confrontation. This allows them to pretty much have their way with you. A lot of bad marriages have come to be because a bully found a doormat they wanted for keeps.
Let us not assign blame on those who abuse the tolerance of others. We must realize that the abused allow this to be done to them and so must also take part in the responsibility.
Below are my simple rules and program for transforming yourself from a doormat to an assertive person who gets what is desired and deserved out of life.
01. Know that you are in part responsible for your own actions and thus for how others interpret and react to your actions. Your body language, your words, your attitude toward yourself and others all help shape not only your environment but has an affect on those you share your environment with.
02. People do not respond the same way to everyone they meet. Casual observation will bear this truth out. People respond to others based on their perception of that person. This is the key to your knowing how to rectify your problem.
03. Each morning wake up to someone pleasant. Yourself. Tell yourself you are going to have a great day and that you are strong and capable of handling any problem.
Practice your tone in front of a mirror. Develop an assertive tone of voice and practice being assertive. Do it before a mirror if you will.
04. Say no to someone every day. Deny a request as often as you can (within reason).
If you really feel you should give in at least tell them that you must think it over first.
If you do give in, tell them clearly that you are not promising anything. People will almost always say you promised when you did not. Don’t let them lie and get by with it. Let them know they are wrong to say you promised something when you did not. You are being manipulated and they are thieves for it. They are robbing you of your time which is a portion of your life.
05. Always look others directly in the eye when you converse with them. People who look down or look away seem to be somewhat less than honest to others. Some people think you have something to hide when you do not look them in the eye. Looking people in the eye during conversation (not staring them down) will gain you some respect and trust in time.
06. Don’t just be aware of your rights. Take them back and practice them. Tell people when you disagree. Don’t make excuses to obtain that which is owed you. Don’t be apologetic about anything unless you truly mean to apologize for something that should be apologized for.
07. Quit allowing yourself the luxury of feeling guilty about asserting yourself. You deserve to feel respected. No one should feel guilty unless they really did something terrible.
08. Replace remorse and regret with self introspection. Rather than feel bad about certain actions, investigate your feelings later when you are home and study every aspect of the event. Learn from life. Don’t just go through life experiencing and not learning and growing.
09. Exercise and eat healthy meals. Your health contributes a lot to how you feel and how others view you. Being physically weak or tired leaves you without the energy required to stand up to others. No, becomes easier to say at this point.
10. Always walk with your chin up, held held level. Do not mope about as if you are looking at the ground.
11. Maintain good posture. Keep your back straight. Hold your stomach in when walking, it will help. This comes from good exercise also.
12. Be assertive. Voice your feelings when something needs to be said.
13. Does your clothing match the persona you want to have. If not change to something more practical and assertive.
14. Respect and love yourself. People respond to you in kind to how you view and present yourself.
Walk and talk with confidence. One of the best ways to appear confident when you are in doubt is to keep quiet. Never let others see you sweat.
15. Assign yourself an hour every day to have for yourself. Steal this hour if you must. You need this time and you deserve this time.
16. Meditate at least once or twice a day. Their are plenty of resources on the internet to teach you this simple practice. Try to keep it simple.
17. Relax as often as you can. If you are in a situation where this is not possible just follow this program until you gain more personal freedom. Always being wired up wastes energy and you need energy to deal with people.
18. Listen to calm or happy music. Play what you like, however, and not what you believe others might prefer. Headphones are nice if you wish not to bother someone else.
19. Avoid overly negative people until you are able to withstand them.
Do not avoid confrontation. If you know confrontation is eminent write what you wish to say down and memorize it first. People become nervous and forget what they wanted to say.
20. Take advantage of telemarketing. They get paid for these things. Practice saying no to them. Never allow them to establish a rapport with you. Say things to them like, “You’re not very good at this are you?” Tell them anything but what they want to hear. Make up things. Give the opposite response to questions you know are contrived. If they say, “if you love your pet you will want…”, tell them that you do not love your pet. Keep throwing them curves. If you feel a twinge of guilt over this hang up immediately and recall what I wrote about guilt. You owe them nothing and they could care less about you. It’s all scripted for your downfall.
21. Practice confrontation. People who are good at fighting became good at it through practice. If you fight a lot you will become good at fighting. I am not advocating violence or fighting. I am advocating overcoming fear. Fear and low self esteem is what put you where you are. Bullies are fearful and seek out people like yourself to keep down the likelihood of a confrontation. If you want to ruin their day, assert yourself and refuse to give in. They will learn to avoid you very soon. The more you assert yourself yourself the easier it will become.
A Few Thoughts
If you do not want to be volunteered for projects don’t advertise your abilities. People always seem to compliment you just before they present you with their latest request.
Beware of people bearing gifts inappropriately for no reason and compliments that are off topic or unexpected.
Beware of those who want an answer immediately. They are trying to prevent your realizing that they are doing you wrong.
Don’t be so trusting (gullible) and impulsive. Trust and acting without thinking can really get you in hot water. If you feel yourself giving in tell them you need to think it over. If they are too pushy then tell them no. You have your own problems.
No salesman has your best interest in mind. They want to sell you so that they can make a living.
Research before making any major purchase.
Read this article every day until you start getting results.
I know everything on here may not apply to you. This was written for the extreme case.
You cannot get results if you don’t follow the program. If it is too much just use what works for you.
Don’t let fear keep you from doing those things that seem scary or difficult.
The more you dread doing a thing that you know won’t kill or harm you, the more you need to do it.
The more fearful you are of a thing the more important it is that you surmount that thing.
Surmounting begins with confrontation.
Confrontation is not always arguing. It is usually nothing more than doing. Once done you walk away with a little more esteem for yourself.
To be assertive is to stand your ground and defend your own personal rights. To be aggressive is to be a bully when we are talking about interpersonal and other normal human relationships.
Reasons people can’t say no: Their pride or ego allows them want to impress others and they usually find themselves in a more embarrassing position… or… low self esteem causes them to feel somehow inferior to others and they give in… or… fear. All of these causes can be rectified by the victim.
