Brainwave Entrainment What Are the Health Benefits of Meditation?

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.

The benefits of meditation are wide ranging: from slowing the heart rate down to helping with concentration and memory.

But it is only in the last few decades in the West that these benefits have started to become well known. Although meditation has been around for thousands of years and has been practiced in many societies and religions across the world, it is only really since the 1960s that meditation has become popular in the West.

The Beatles and Meditation

The Beatles’ infamous visit to the Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 60s where they learned Transcendental Meditation was one of several high profile reports about meditation and the benefits of meditation.

More and more scientific studies have been made about the benefits of meditation and more and more concrete reports have been filed on what tangible benefits meditation has on both the mind, body and spirit.

In terms of stress management a regular meditation practice is a key component of recovering from stress.

Benefits of Meditation

So what are the benefits of meditation? What are the reasons that so many people are turning to meditation to deal with anxiety and stress, and why are so many people practicing meditation across the world?

o Meditation slows down the heart rate: This helps to calm the body and relax the mind.

o Reduces oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production: Within a few minutes of starting to meditate oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production can reduce up to 20% below the normal levels.

o Raises skin resistance to pain: Meditation helps to raise the body’s resistance to pain and to electrical currents which decreases when the body is stressed or anxious. This means that if you get a knock or hurt yourself you are less likely to feel the pain or react to the pain.

o Increases muscle relaxation

o Reduction of activity in the nervous system: The branch of the nervous system (the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system) responsible for relaxing and calming you dominates when you meditate.

o Production of lactate is decreased: Lactic acid which is produced when the body’s muscles are starved of oxygen (a stitch during exercise) and when the body is in a state of stress decreases 4 times quicker while meditating than in a normal state of rest. A build up of lactate can cause fatigue in the short term and in the long term impair energy production.

o Blood circulation increases: Blood circulation increases during meditation meaning that more oxygen is able to reach your muscles – this in turn helps to prevent lactate production (lactate being produced when muscles are starved of oxygen).

o Significant effect on the brain: During meditation the brain manufactures alpha and theta brainwaves. You will spend most of your day in beta brainwaves which is important to carry out every day activities but too much can be draining. Attaining alpha and theta brain waves on a regular basis can help to improve memory, increase concentration, help you to relax, boost your energy and happiness.

Studies have shown that most children are regularly in alpha and theta brain waves (ever wondered why your children had so much energy!). As children grow up they start to move into beta brain waves states. And although this is important to get things done it is also important, no imperative, in order to keep your energy up and achieve the other benefits of meditation, to access these alpha and theta brainwaves.

o Meditation balances both parts of the brain: Recent research has shown that meditation helps to balance the logical side of the brain and the creative side of the brain. By balancing out the brain this helps to make more balanced and happy individuals.

o Meditation helps to combat depression: Regular meditation (once or twice a day for 20 minutes) helps to deal with depression, reduce hypertension and helps to relieve anxiety and migraines.

o Meditation improves concentration: Research also shows that regular meditation helps to improve your concentration, memory and creativity. Meditating while you are studying for exams can really help the information to enter into the brain.

o Meditate for better sleep: Having a regular meditation practice helps to improve sleep and the actual quality of your sleep. You will find that you will sleep more deeply and will be less prone to waking in the night. If you do wake the mind will be still so it will be easier for you to drop back off to sleep.

o Meditate before sleep to wake up feeling refreshed
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.

NATURAL EYESIGHT IMPROVEMENT

Upon searching for articles about eyesight, I found more than a million references. Why? Maintaining good eyesight is vital to our life experience. Seeing is such an important part of being. How can we maintain good eyesight for a lifetime? We exercise our body but most are not aware of natural eye exercises. In our modern world, staring at the computer is one way that we damage our sight. Most people, when using the computer, stare and do not allow their eyes to blink. Blinking is important since it brings tears into the eyes. Dryness contributes to eye diseases including Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness.

Taking the time daily to do simple eye exercises will help maintain good eyesight. Looking at something up close and then looking far away is one way to help your eyes. Rotating your eyes or watching your finger as you move it back and forth, up and down and from side to side is another powerful eye exercise. Palming, that is, closing your eyes and placing your palms over your eyes, is very relaxing and an excellent way to relax tired eyes after computer use. Using Pinhole Glasses can reduce eye strain especially when using the computer.

We know the brain requires oxygen because we feel tired and sluggish when we don’t get sufficient exercise. However, the eyes require oxygen too. Try reading various sizes of small print (without glasses) and notice what you can read before an exercise session. Then see if it is easier to read the small print after you have had a good workout. Usually, there will be an improvement in your vision even after a short exercise session.

It is also important to monitor the foods that you eat. Food allergies or sensitivities to certain foods will affect your vision sometimes causing severe headaches. The most common food allergies are wheat, all dairy products which includes cheese and yoghurt, caffeine, sugar, soy, and, of course, soft drinks which are packed with sugar. Puffy eyes are often caused by an allergic reaction to dairy products. If you experience constant sugar cravings, you could be dealing with a disorder called Candida Albicans. To rid yourself of Candida, you can find a cleanse at most health food stores or starve the Candida by eliminating sugar and the foods mentioned above.

Keeping your eyesight healthy will help you in all areas of your life since what you do for your eyes will strengthen your whole body!

SUNNING: Two to five minutes daily-twice a day is better.
Remove glasses or contacts. Do not do through window panes.
Close your eyes, raise your face to the sun and move your head slowly from side to side as far as you can in either direction. Gently massage around your eyes to prevent frowning and squinting. Then turn your face away from the sun and palm. This exercise teaches the eye to accept strong light without resisting and creating tension and adjusts the eye to different intensities of light. This is particularly important for those who are beginning to experience problems with night driving and problems reading in low light such as menus at restaurants.

PALMING: Do for three to five minutes or longer for the relaxing effects.
Rub your hands together to warm them. Close your eyes. Gently cover them with your cupped hands without pressing on your eyes (the heel of each hand rests on the cheekbone). Breathe deeply and slowly. It is best to position yourself at a table with your elbows on a small pillow. Get comfortable and use this time to be peaceful, meditate or listen to soft music. If you are outside, after sunning, just turn away from the sun and place your palms over your eyes in a standing position. The optic nerve is quieted when you see blackness. Visualize blackness until you actually see blackness when you palm.

When I was 8 years old, my family was living in a basement in Queens, New York. Recently migrated from Trinidad to pursue his degree in music, my father quickly found out that the land of milk and honey was not all that it was told to be, and it was more all at the same time. It was at this time that I was introduced to yoga and meditation. As an 8 year old, this is how I was taught to meditate.

Be Still

When you’re sharing a brownstone in Queens with 2 other families and you’re in the basement, there’s kids trampling on the floor above, music, buses, cars, and a boiler in the background. Quiet is not possible. That’s point. No matter where you are, it’s your choice whether or not you are still.

Today, many of us have the luxury of waking up first thing in the morning when no one’s awake in the suburbs. We live in spacious, comfortable surroundings with few people. Even if the kids are awake in the morning, you can set aside a space and time where they know you are not to be disturbed. Make it a sacred space and time where you can dedicate yourself to your meditation practice.

Watch Your Breath

Your breath is always with you. As long as you are medically conscious, you have your breath. As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing in Spirit. As you breathe out, imagine that you are expressing Spirit. Pay attention to the air passing through your nostrils, down the air passages, into your lungs, exchanging it, and breathing it out the same way.

Paying attention to your breath accomplishes 2 things. It shifts your focus from the chatter going on in your mind, and it brings your attention to God.

If you realize that you are thinking about anything, even the details of how your body breathes, gently bring your attention back to your breath. No need to badger yourself or battle with your mind, just breathe in and out. As you sit still and watch your breath, you may notice a moment when you are not watching anything. Your mind has stopped rambling (or you are no longer aware of it). You experience SILENCE. It is at this point that you will be able to hear the still, small voice.

Honing your sixth sense, your intuition, can help you in making better choices in life because the more information you have about something, the better decisions you can make, the faster you may be able to reach your goals, and enable yourself to live more fulfilling life.

Intuition is defined as the power or ability of attaining direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference. Intuitive knowledge is considered to be knowledge which cannot be gained either by inference or observation, by reasoning or past experience. As such intuitive knowledge is thought of as independent, original knowledge.

Many years ago I was in a coffee shop where I overheard a man having a spirited and very loud conversation with someone about the nature of intuition. He argued that intuitive knowledge is based on observational skills. While the information obtained through observational skills is excluded from the above definition about intuition, many times people do acquire tremendous amount of information purely through observation and then they appear to be “psychic”. Many “fake psychics” simply rely on their observational skills. These skills are also known as “cold reading” and are employed by stage magicians.

Our subconscious minds register all information from our surroundings and most of that information is gathered outside our conscious awareness. When some of that information emerges in our conscious awareness, it may seem that it came from higher realms because we had no awareness of ever acquiring it consciously.

People who are working on developing their intuition often practice different ways of improving their observational skills. Honing one’s observational skills is one of the essential skills in the practice of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), where you learn to pay attention to minute changes in skin color, pupil dilation, slight changes in lip size, referred to in NLP as “minimal cues”. These skills come in very handy when people play poker, for example. Since poker players have vested financial interest in the outcome of the game, they pay attention to “minimal cues” of other players, in order to notice when other players may be bluffing or when they might have a winning hand.

NLP Practitioners sometimes engage in the following exercise, which I believe started with Dr. Milton Erickson. One person would hide an object, and the other would play the role of a “psychic” by holding the wrist of the person who hid the object. The “psychic” would rely on slight changes in the pulse of the person who hid the object, to guide him toward the recovery of the hidden object.

Some people are more “intuitive” by nature. Some are intuitive in a way that they find it easier to absorb the information from their environment through what seems like osmosis. They may have difficulty focusing on one thing and may be labeled with attention deficit disorder, yet their way of processing information may be perfectly suited to certain occupations. For example, I have a friend who is an extraordinary private investigator. He excels at what he does perhaps mainly due to his ability of being aware of the information that other private investigators miss. He naturally absorbs information from the environment as if thorough osmosis. From the perspective of brainwaves, people with this talent have predominant theta brainwave activity.

Some people are more naturally intuitive in a way that they can access the information related to different times, places or dimensions of experience, which are clearly not in any way associated with where they may be physically. On the level of the mind, there is no time and no space and we are all free to access the information about anything we greatly desire to know, from any dimension of existence, from past, present or future. The only obstacle in this process are the “filters” we have placed in our subconscious minds.

The secret in acquiring this kind of information is in allowing it to emerge into your conscious awareness, in having your mind blank, open and receptive like a crystal clear glass, so that the information gained is not colored by your preconceived ideas or emotions. Genuine spiritual masters, who have no more any self-interests, who have nothing more to emotionally protect and have fully opened themselves to the infinite, can access the information that to the rest of us borders on miraculous. On the other hand, there are so many people who may be “channeling” the information from different realms, however the information that comes through is polluted by their own preconceived ideas and is no better than any guess they might have made based on their rational understanding. True spiritual knowledge is always rooted in love and in the principle of oneness – there are no exceptions.

We are all intuitive to a greater or lesser extent and whatever your level of intuitive ability, you can develop it further. Developing intuition is based on learning to pay attention to the information within you. For example, if you were trying to decide between two job offers, as you imagine yourself working in one position and then in the other, the right choice would look brighter, it would feel more joyous, it would make you feel lighter and it would bring with it a great experience of inner peace and contentment. If you were picking lottery numbers or stocks in which you desire to invest, or winning horses at the racetrack – again through experience you would learn to distinguish between the information that comes from your intuitive knowledge and the one that comes from your rational mind. As a general guideline, when this information comes from your rational mind there is a sensation of tension, a sensation of your energy shrinking and condensing as you are subconsciously trying to protect your financial self-interest. When you are in a state of mind where you are trying to protect your ego-based self-interests, you are closing the door of your intuition. What opens you to your intuition is getting into a state of love, into a state of giving, into a state of relaxation and expansion, where you feel at-one-with-everything and particularly at-one with the subject of your intuition., where you become it inwardly.

One simple way of practicing intuition on daily basis is choosing for practice subjects in which you don’t have any vested interest and the outcome is not important for you. This makes it easier for you to maintain an open state of mind necessary for practicing intuition. You may try to intuit what someone you are going to meet is wearing, or if the phone rings who may be calling you, or if you are going to some new place, try to intuit how does that place look like before you go there; or you can pick a magazine with pictures and try to intuit what picture or information will you find several pages ahead. In this way you will condition your subconscious mind to provide you with the information that is not ordinarily accessible to you through your physical senses.

Visualization isn’t easy for everyone and is a powerful component when trying to manifest an intention, be it for something physical or for something psychological.

Brainwave entrainment makes it easier for you to imagine and visualize your thoughts. Brainwave synchronization is a powerful technology that induces the brain to follow a specific repeated frequency pattern with the intention of producing a certain specialized effect.

What Is Visualization?

Visualization is a mental activity that you use to construct images in your mind from your thoughts. It is the most basic form of inner communication between your conscious self and your subconscious self. The subconscious self communicates in images and emotions and visualization is the perfect language to make that contact. This technique is the fundamental component in creating your reality.

You use your thoughts to consciously imagine, create, and attract to yourself, that which you intend to experience in your life.

Visualization of images is the most effective and quickest way to manifest your intentions.

* As an aside note of interest, John Kennedy, a professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto did a research project that showed that people, blind from birth, were able to draw things that they have never actually seen in a visual sense. That just proves that when we connect to the collective consciousness, we are tapping into a powerful resource that is beyond us. The subconscious is the gateway to the collective consciousness, our source. This is the place where our intentions are placed and where our manifestations are sent from.

Think About This Before You Visualize

The key for successful manifestation using visualization is to tie your intentions to your immediate environment and circumstance. Use your imagination to envision yourself comfortably in your desire. If you’re someone else in your visualization, the visualization will have no power. See yourself in the manifestation. How do you feel? Use all of your senses. See, taste, feel, hear, and smell your intention.

And if you are not totally sure that visualization actually works, visualize something small as an experiment. When it manifests, it will prove to you that it does work and will change the programming in your subconscious mind so that when you envision something bigger, it will not stop your intention.

How To Visualize Using Brainwave Entrainment

Find a quiet place, sit on a chair or lie on the floor. Be comfortable and remove all distractions like cell phones and cats.
Turn on a brainwave entrainment recording that is specially made to enhance your visualization skills in either isochronic tones (don’t need headphones) or binaural beats (need headphones).
Close your eyes, relax and begin to empty your mind.
Focus on the beats or tones. Keep bringing yourself back to them when your mind begins to wander.
When you feel detached from your body but still very aware, begin to imagine your intention.
Use all of your senses, layer the visualization.
Imagine what it will feel like when your intention is manifested…really feel it…don’t use words, use impressions and images.
Visual images and feelings are what the subconscious will recognize.
Believe that you already have your intention.
Detach…the key to all of this…detach from the outcome. If you are attached to the outcome, you take away all of your power to create. You cannot have peace of mind if you are attached to the unfolding of a specific outcome. The universe is in charge of the details. You have no control over how your intention will manifest. Detach.
End the session and go about your life.
When the thought of your intention comes to mind, feel positive and know it has already manifested…and then get on with your life. Stop thinking about it or the very wanting of it will put you into a lack frame of mind that harbors nothing but fear. Your intention will be side railed. Let it go.
Do the recording session a number of times over the next few weeks to iengrain an actual physical spot in the brain that confirms that your intention has a place in your mind.

Brainwave entrainment will take you to, and help you maintain, the frequency needed to help you visualize your intention, easily and quickly.

It will help you speak the language of the subconscious and bring about your manifestations faster.

binaural beats sleep | light meditation
Have you had your confidence shaken lately? Are you looking for some sort of confidence booster? Consider a method called brainwave entrainment.

It has been well documented that the brain typically in four major frequency ranges: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta state is the highest frequency (12-30 Hz) while delta is the lowest and is the state of deep sleep and relaxation.

It is also well established over the centuries that meditation is beneficial for one’s mind and body. By practicing meditation, it is possible to enter the subconscious mind and essentially reprogram a person’s thinking. This could involve getting over various addictions such as smoking or curing sleep disorders.

However, it takes instruction and hours of practice to be able to meditate effectively. A way to shorten this process is to use binaural beats recordings for brainwave entrainment. By listening to these binaural recordings with a set of stereo headphones it is possible to coax the brain more easily into the meditation frequency ranges of theta and delta. This is what brainwave entrainment is about.

Properly designed binaural beats recordings can take a person from the highest brain activity levels down to the meditative ranges. When this is accompanied with subliminal messages such as a confidence booster, then one will emerge from the session feeling more confident and energized. If you engage in these short meditative sessions on a daily basis, you will find that your confidence level will increase and your outlook on life will improve.

Brainwave entrainment with binaural beats recordings is a way of assisting the meditative process. It makes it shorter and more effective. They are easy and convenient to use and it doesn’t take a long learning time. The recordings can be downloaded from the internet and they don’t cost very much.

Listening to binaural beats as a way of brainwave entrainment can be a great confidence booster.

Here I sit in silent wonder searching beyond the veil of consciousness driven by Divine discontent. Yes, only in the peace of stillness can the source of all knowledge, love and wisdom be found in the collective unconscious or universal mind. The sweetest music in the universe is when lovers dance to the tune of the one vibration. However so many in this period of history, fail to learn how to dance correctly in order to create the most beautiful inspirational harmony. This leads us to the realization, that the main purpose of relationship is spiritual growth. Correct relationship with another is only possible when first you have attained this within yourself.

The world reflects back to you, your own energy state. Therefore in the beginning of your conscious journey in life you need to become aware of your own unique energy state or frequency. The easiest way to work this out is to look at what is reflected back from a partner with whom you can exchange energy with love and caring. Unfortunately it is not possible to learn very much from someone for whom you care very little about.

So now this leads us into a good story because I like you enjoy a good story. The greatest joy in this world is a person who feels that he has been truly, completely and totally divinely blessed. However Daniel did not feel this way as he sat on the beach early one fine morning watching the sun rise. The sun rose from out of the East pushing back the darkness. This is the beginning of another day completing another cycle of rebirth.

Daniel sat there watching the sun’s rays first stream out from the horizon over the ocean; followed by the illumination of the tops of the clouds and then the tops of the trees on the headland. It is at first a subtle glow before being transformed into a golden ball of light. How the evolution of the soul so closely mirrors this simple awakening each morning.

At first the soul is so clouded down by the outflowing controls of the ego that only a dim light can be seen. However in the fullness of time as the ego is so worn down through pain and suffering experience it eventually gives up or surrenders to the higher power within. So now we can see only the golden glow of the beautiful uplifting all inspiring soul light a burning fire.

Yes, in stillness Daniel sat there quietly pondering on the cyclic nature of life. Contemplating upon another failed relationship wondering what he had learned out of it all? This man is a little bitter may we say because he is now the veteran survivor of a couple of failed relationships. He is a little scarred and battle weary from his experiences. However in failure you have the seeds of success. So as he was always the eternal optimist; his interest was soon ignited when one fine day he sees a pretty young thing oops I mean young woman move across his field of vision. Attraction is the soul’s joke on the personality.

The woman of his attraction was Rose an aspiring high priestess we may say. Although she understands the theory of the ancient wisdom she has yet the skill to live this correctly in practice. Even though she is a few years younger in physical age, her spiritual maturity was a finer lighter frequency by comparison. As their eyes met they both felt the shudder of instant magnetic attraction as their auras complimented each other lifting their composite energy even higher.

The higher frequency person is the teacher or guide while the lower frequency person is the student. We are all guides or students depending on who we are talking to on the path of life. Because Rose could see a little further than her partner she could see the limitations. However she chooses to commit herself as an act of service. In addition due to a very deep inner insecurity, she felt drawn back into relationship to fulfill the soul driven urge to find completion. Every person who understands and lives personal responsibility correctly is also a priest. This is why we say that she is an aspiring high priestess because she is working towards this goal.

From that very first moment they pursued a path of courtship finding that place where all lovers eventually go, the consummation of their love by becoming lovers. The big commitment was then made to love each other forever and always. This couple had a lot going for them in many respects. In particular they had an understanding of energy conservation. In addition the ability to raise energy from the lower to the higher chakra’s or energy center’s in the body, which is commonly called the tantric system.

To cringe in fear or fly in the freedom of love is the essential choice in life, which is also revealed in how you are as a lover. When you bring psychic barriers with you into your loving relationship then you are signing up for another prison sentence. Only people choosing to live free of barriers will be in true freedom together creating the clearest sweetest musical harmonies.

As you know the best approach to another is freedom from ego. This is equally true when we approach our love partner. This allows for the free exchange of energy with the least resistance leading to the best and highest quality experience. This is after all our motivation to be drawn into such an experience. It takes ideally three days to exchange energy on the subtle levels before even touching one another on the physical level.

Allow yourself to go into a light trance beforehand. With totally focused attention you work through the various cycles. The first phase is to play and build energy, which is followed by a rest period or plateau thereby avoiding climax or finality. The focus of the spiritual warrior is always on process because correct process always brings inevitable results. These cycles of arousal with rest and consolidation allows you to progressively build stronger and stronger energy in the body.

This increased energy in your body puts greater pressure on your resistance points particularly as expressed through your chakras. By coming to your attention in this way it becomes easier for you to face and transform these weaknesses. Eventually with the continued building of the plateau’s to higher and higher levels you come to that point of exquisite beauty and joy as you experience the valley orgasm. This happens as the net result of that delicate play of finely tuned energies leading into total surrender and bliss. You may feel the golden nectar coming down the back of your throat from the brain. In this moment you are as one with your partner in a real way because you are both vibrating at the same frequency.

On a psychic level all is revealed and is easily seen in yourself and your partner. Again in this simple act of making love is the acting out of the surrender of the ego to divine spiritual will. Energy dynamics with the resultant sensations within are the net result of the interplay or balance of all the energies involved. The art of being a good lover is the same as in any undertaking, which is the creative manipulation of energy. Making love with another is the same as making love within yourself only you are sharing your energy with another.

Spirituality is only sexuality raised to a higher level, which explains why sex maybe so easily utilized as a tool to raise frequency assisting your spiritual growth. Like any tool if used incorrectly can lead to damaging results. This explains why a couple’s love life often parallel’s their every day life. It is wise to know that excessive climax leads to many harmful effects on your health including being more prone to depression with criminal tendencies. Naturally degenerative diseases with hair loss are other important symptoms of this particular pattern.

As time went by Daniel was finding his ego progressively more difficult to manage. This was because he liked to nurture his personality pride by playing the power struggle game. He was good at it and usually managed to get the upper hand. Intuitively he felt his wife’s more gentle nature with far greater insight. However he was unable to control his own insecurity combined with the feelings of low self esteem so he resisted her teachings in many ways. To busy with his own thoughts, which he regarded as more important. He did not listen. We all eventually learn that he who does not listen must feel! So too in time Daniel was to learn this very lesson.

His wife Rose tried in many ways both subtle and not so subtle to educate her husband but all in vain. The reason being that Daniel would rather control another than face his own limitations in the first place. The focus of control was being directed outwards instead of correctly inwards. As a natural consequence he projected his limitations on to another, which was mainly his wife. Then as a natural consequence he psychologically attacked her into the bargain to complete the illusion. He was lord and master of his universe. However the controls were working less and less well. Rose proceeded to withdraw progressively, at first mentally and then emotionally. Eventually she was to withdraw altogether when she left a note on the kitchen table explaining that she had left for good.

Daniel did not see it coming because he was too consumed in his own reality to notice what was happening with his relationship. His world collapsed as his emotional security blanket was so abruptly removed. The crisis is the time of the big test. Which way will he go? It is a simple choice of down or up? Daniel’s saving grace was his spiritual education, which for so long was left sitting on the shelf gathering dust. This knowledge he now put to good use by letting go and surrendering to the higher power within himself. In that moment he saw the totality of his life up to that point as living denial of personal responsibility. In that same moment Daniel died as we once knew him. From that point into the future he could see that he would always now live true. Perhaps he was not always making the wisest choices but always accepting total responsibility for the consequences of his choices.

Out of this experience he saw with intuitive insight his own weaknesses and very appropriately he felt totally ashamed. The trauma of pain and suffering experience with his relationship breakup forcibly moved him through his next spiritual growth step.

Only after the dust had settled, now moving to experience the peace within, which he had not known before, could he in all honesty say that it was all worth it. Rose having passed through her own initiation some time before meeting Daniel understood all that was before him. Her great learning was to realize that no one can walk the path of another. By staying as she was tolerating her husband’s inattention with lower personality nature she was only contributing to his limitations and not helping in any way.

Rose experienced another insight or intuitive flash by realizing that the basis for her allowing abuse from her husband was her own lack of assurance or self esteem. In times of stress the ego releases its grip for a moment thereby allowing an influx of soul light, which provides an intuitive holistic insight or psychic insight. Some people will experience these psychic flashes a number of times before the penny finally drops and they really get it!!!!

The relationship trauma helped her to recognize and value herself in a very real way. She came to recognize that anyone with significant limitations combined with the attitude of “Do not want to look at anything, do not want to change anything” is best served by letting them go to interact with people with a similar spiritual status to their own. This is spiritual love because this allows the person in question the best chance to grow spiritually.

To constantly turn the other cheek so to speak by allowing another to continually treat you with lower personality abuses serves absolutely no useful purpose at all. In this situation direct action or assertive behaviour needs to be taken, which is for the other person’s benefit and not because you feel irritated in any way. If you feel irritated out of this experience then this only means a message with more learning for you.

In the learning situation with a request for assistance then every allowance is made in being exposed to limitations because the proceedings are guided by purpose. In passing we will mention that is unwise to give energy which includes healing energy to another unless it is requested.

Unasked for advice is interference. Love may be given freely whether it is accepted or not because it incurs no karmic debt. In passing we will mention that love can only be rejected on a personality level because it is never rejected on a soul level. We all need to be very careful, which energies we choose to direct at others because whatever is rejected will be returned to us. The energy affects us going through our being and again in the event when it is returned. This is why love is the safest thing that we can give anyone. From my own personal experience I have found that rejected love when returned feels enriched some how?

Following the breakup Rose could see the improvements in Daniel’s behaviour but she knew that it would take time for Daniel to consolidate the spiritual growth steps he had taken. She has now come to realize completion or self realization. As a natural consequence she no longer felt the need to be drawn back into relationship with anyone for any reason. Being now only a lover of humanity she walks the path of service.

Daniel came to accept his former wife’s decision, learning gratitude for what is given. Her continued friendship, love and support although they continued to live separate lives. Now that Daniel lived a single person life he had plenty of time for reflection and contemplation. During one of these quiet moments he meditated on the essential nature of humanity. All the spiritual theory that he had studied in the course of his life, had done him little good in isolation. However this theory in the light of personal experience changes everything!

One experience is worth a thousand theories. He pondered on the sweet and sour index to assess an individual’s temperament. When he looked at the pattern of his own life, he came to the realization that pain and suffering experience had led him to become a very much softer and gentler human being.

Both Daniel and Rose came to the same point of self realization in their own time and way. They were both so busy giving service that they had no time for any more personality problems. However they did both manage to take a time out from their heavy work schedules to practice a little dual cultivation, which is the lovers dance as it has always been intended. Because they both now had cleared personalities the currents of energy between them was very strong. When ever they were in each others company the electricity would pass between them sending off sparks with an all pervading sweet smelling perfume. Any person open to receiving healing would receive this just by being in the presence of the two initiates in the same room. The power of their combined aura’s being so strong.

Out of these experiences it is seen that anyone wishing to progress spiritually needs to become aware of their own unique frequency or spiritual status on the path of life. How will you know if you are making any progress unless you first know your starting point? Secondly you need to be able to discriminate between the people whose advice is worth listening to and those people who are best ignored.

The sweet and sour index is an easy to use guide, which enables us to work out anyone’s frequency. Strong or big ego’s are part focus and thereby demonstrate more personality resistance. This leads to restricted or reduced energy flow, which in turn creates the energy state of lowered voltage or power. This is why strong personalities invariably exhibit more sour dispositions or temperament because they function more out of lower personality.

The more you react in your inter personal relationships then the lower is your spiritual status. There is firstly the lack of responsibility creating the pattern of throwing low vibration energy outwards. Of course naturally when this energy is returned by the universe, this will lead to an even sourer disposition because the person concerned does not accept responsibility to face what is being returned. So more very sour energy is thrown back again into the universe completing the never ending cycle of denial of personal responsibility.

Because you are functioning on a part foundation this goes hand in hand with the feelings of insecurity or low self esteem. A bit of bad news for those people who love their depression because this is only another aspect of sour. Put down comments are usual for this person who tries to compensate for their own feelings of inadequacy or lack of self assurance. A person who demonstrates clingy or needy behaviour is a person who is searching for completion from another because it is not felt within. However it doesn’t work because only a strong foundation is the answer.

Conversely the opposite is also true of course. By comparison strong self confidence is associated with sweetness because it is based on the whole aspect the strongest foundation. Less personality resistance creates more power as more soul light is expressed, leading to a very much gentler way of being. This reflects the more responsible pattern, which is to look within. The lower personality energies once seen correctly will be transformed. This naturally leads to a softer disposition as the higher quality personality energies are expressed.

The more you respond to your social conditions then rest assured your spiritual status is higher. Once you know the parameters and observe in this way then you are able to see everyone’s position on the scale. Now put down comment energy will be seen correctly for what it is; a compliment for higher spiritual status. The hallmark of the evolved soul is to be able to laugh in the face of denigration because it is all so completely irrelevant. With clear perception anyone can see that bullying energy only comes from a perspective of weakness and not strength.

The most important step in anyone’s life is to open your self up to receive, which is to start the process of unfoldment or evolution. One step follows another so after a time you will be very well surprised to find yourself in a very different place from where you originally started. As you experience and enjoy the wider view from the higher perspective, you are permitted to feel justify able pride at gaining greater control over your own lower personality nature. The more information you are given then the greater is your responsibility to apply it correctly.

The additional responsibility is to pass this information to others in need by sharing. By trying to hold onto anything only restricts the flow, which is not wise because you will only experience congestion, which is not comfortable. You will find your greatest test as I have, which is to pass this information on with the same purity and clarity as it was received. My experience has been that it is not possible to give gratitude adequately to the people who have trained you. All you can really do is to make the best use of what has been given by giving to others in the same way. This is what I call passing the blessings on, which is gratitude in action.

Any person experiencing lots of adversity usually feels a bit sour about it all. However adversity or feeling tested is the greatest blessing in disguise. Adversity is only that aspect of your own frequency being reflected back to you, which you find a challenge. Your progress in life is largely determined by how you manage adversity. Immaturity is to throw energy outwards in the face of adversity while maturity is to direct energy inwards to transform your own lower personality nature.

Assertive behaviour in the face of unfair and unreasonable treatment normally requires a neutral disposition, which is to stand firm. When you move beyond adversity altogether then you will find yourself to be a person who has been divinely blessed. This is how Daniel now feels about the pattern of his life, which brings only blessings.

Now Daniel finds himself sitting once again on the headland as the dawn breaks. Only this time he is in deep meditation completing the process of dissolving the crystallization of ego. In meditation he has come to see as a direct experience that personality resistance leads to crystallization, which in turn is the basis for all reactivity! Only when all resistance has been dissolved through increased soul energy flow does it then become possible to live a life of peace with surrender and deeply loving compassion. Life was never meant to be a struggle. Do not worry be happy instead and of course have some fun.

We have all been placed on earth to discover our own path. We will never be happy if we live someone else’s idea of life. ~James Van Praagh.

The best way to discover your own path is to develop a relationship with yourself, to cultivate self-love and to spend time in solitude.

There is a brilliant five minute video called, “How to be alone.” Filmed by Andrea Dorfman and written and performed by poet/singer/songwriter, Tanya Davis, it explores the idea of nurturing and developing the skill of being alone.

We are not really taught that it is okay to be alone.”You’ll find, it’s fine to be alone once you’re embracing it” a quote from the video.

Tanya suggests we start by making a list of acceptable places to be alone. The bathroom, the coffee shop, the library. Prayer and meditation are more acceptable places.Then, her poem invites you to take yourself to dinner with linens and silverware. Take yourself dancing and dance like no one is watching.

In one of the scenes she is sitting on a bench alone and opens you to the idea of how this creates a space for an unexpected conversation. She says, “It may never have happened, if you weren’t there sitting by yourself.”

More quotes from the film, “If you’re happy in your head, then solitude is best and alone is okay. It doesn’t mean you’re not connected.Take silence and respect it.”

There is a tendency to look outside of ourselves to fill time that could be spent alone.

During the last year, I spent many hours in solitude. Walking on the beach, sitting in coffee shops by myself, going to plays in small theaters and finding the joy in getting to know myself better. I have more clarity, joy, wisdom and feel a sense of grounded freedom. I encourage everyone to go on this journey with themselves. You are a magnificent being. Open to this discovery.

There is a wave of self-love appearing in events and on the internet. The Agape Spiritual Center in Los Angeles sponsors an event on Valentine’s Day with music, conversation, good food and hand massages. Self-love is encouraged and celebrated.

“The deep love you seek starts and ends with the love you have for you” ~Christine Arylo

Feb 13 has been declared an annual celebration called, Madly in Love with Me Day. Some of the suggestions for developing self-love first:

• Love yourself, all of you, especially the parts hard to love
• Settle for nothing less than your heart and soul desire
• Have only relationships full of unconditional love and respect
• Be nice to yourself (stop being so hard on you!) Develop compassion for who you are.
• Take care of yourself, without guilt (you give from the overflow)

Let’s all send ourselves pure unconditional love and open to the true path we are guided to follow. Knowing yourself will heal inner loneliness and the fear of loneliness.

Open to the gift of who you are and Celebrate!

People these days are so stressed out about a multitude of things that it’s harder than ever to relax your mind and fall instantly to sleep by the time night comes around. Thoughts of money and work problems dominate your mind and make it hard to sleep. Also, even if you do manage to fall asleep, your sleep might not be as restful as it could be. There is such a thing as getting a non-restful sleep.

Fortunately, there are ways to remedy this. Getting a good night’s sleep is not an impossible thing, but it will require a little bit of work-but don’t worry! This is all to benefit you and your lifestyle, making you healthier and more energetic throughout your day.

Finding A Rhythm – It is highly important to recognize that your body has an internal clock. If your clock is off, and you find yourself still wide awake when you should be falling asleep, then you need to learn how to fix it. One important tip is to not nap during the day, as hard as it is not to. Instead, drink some pure, alkaline water instead and take a walk to get the blood flowing. Be sure to stick to a bedtime and wake up at the same time to establish a routine.

Exercise During The Day – To help tire you out and work the body out, you should try to stick in a little workout time during the day. This will make you feel better and give your body another burst of energy. Instead of naps, workout!

Don’t Eat Before Bed – There are many people who binge at night instead of during the day, when they should be eating and filling their bodies with healthy, energy boosting foods. Minimize the food you eat before bed, make a healthy choice for a snack instead of something that makes you feel heavy instead.

Clean Your Bedding – You wouldn’t think of having clean sheets as an issue to how you sleep at night, but if you haven’t cleaned your bedding in a while, think about doing so. Your mattress is accumulating things like dust mites and other allergens. This might cause you to have a runny nose or itch when you should be calming down. Clean your comforters, pillow cases, and sheets every week, and don’t forget your mattress! Clean it once a week as well, vacuuming it to keep the allergen levels low.

Relax Before Bed – Most people jump right into bed and work too hard at attempting to fall asleep as soon as they can. Instead, take anywhere from ten minutes to an hour before bed to relax your body and mind. Take a warm bath, read a good book, meditate, or listen to some calming music. Find what works for you, and stick to it.

Brainwave Entrainment A Mindflex Game by Mattel Review

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.

Mindflex is a unique game made by one of the most successful and oldest toy makers in the US, Mattel. Mattel has brought many other big hits to the market like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Matchbox cars. They have also produced video game consoles and countless board games. Barbie continues to be one of their top sellers, but tech savvy kids today are flocking to the Mindflex game.

This game is more than just fun. Mindflex can actually increase mental acuity in both adults and kids. It combines the power of concentration with innovative technology in one unique game. Players use their minds to move a foam ball around obstacles. They can compete against each other for best time.

The Mindflex game works through your brainwaves. To play, you wear a headset that picks up your brainwaves. The harder you concentrate, the more powerful is the signal sent from the headset. Your brainwaves control a foam ball around an obstacle course. This concentration and immediate feedback stimulates the frontal lobe in your brain. The frontal lobe is vital to concentration and ability to focus. In turn this increases mental acuity and improves the attention spans in adults and kids, even those with autism.

The Mindflex Game by Mattel isn’t some parlor trick. It is based upon scientific research. It is also not a miracle cure for autism or ADHD. It is simply designed to help increase attention. This game does have a couple of drawbacks. It contains small parts that can quickly be lost and wearing the headset can be uncomfortable for kids. It is a good idea to limit play to about ten to fifteen minutes at a time.

Users of Mindflex report that it really does help them improve performance at work and in daily life. Parents say they notice their kids are doing better in school after consistently playing the game. In order to know if the game really is helping, you should track and chart your progress and that of your child so you know for sure.

When you decide to buy the Mindflex game, there are a couple of things you should know. Change the obstacles around frequently or the game may become boring with consistent use. Changing things around will help keep you interested in the game. You should also play the game for short periods of time so you don’t play too long and get burned out on it. You want to play consistently over a period of weeks or months in order to get the best results so you don’t want to get bored with it. Remember to track your progress so you can tell if you are sufficiently stimulating your frontal lobes. Overall, this game is a lot of fun and with the added benefit of improving concentration; it is hard to go wrong by buying 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.
