Autosuggestion Meditation - How to remove Negativity from your thinking

Do you find that your mind is filled with negative beliefs you have about yourself? All the things which believe about ourselves to be true, positive or negative, are based on an amalgamation of our memories and ideas. If you think “I am a failure” this is because you have repeated experience of failure in your life and have built a prejudiced belief system around this idea. This notion that you are predicated to failure will naturally lead you to more failures. Everybody has some negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves, consciously or subconsciously.

But what if you could change your beliefs? What if there was a way that you could implant in your mind new more positive and functional ideas about yourself? By altering mental associations inside your mind you can directly reprogram your subconscious mind with repetitive new thoughts and self suggestion – or Autosuggestion. You take take steps to remove negativity and unwanted beliefs about yourself using this technique.

The classic model of Autosuggestion, as pioneered by French psychologist and author Émile Coué, uses a method half way between self hypnosis and meditation mantras. A mantra is a sacred utterance, numinous sound, or a syllable, word, phonemes, or group of words believed by some to have psychological and spiritual power  repeated over and over during a meditation session often used as a tool to help a person “clear their minds”. Common mantras include “Om Namah Shivaya” or “Hare Hare Krishna”.

Émile Coué believed that we could use this repetitive mantra-like technique to implant new ideas and belief systems about ourselves. That by repeating a new idea over and over again we could implant a fresh belief into our subconscious minds which would in turn affect our quality of life. And it works. This is a technique that I use myself with the autosuggestion “I AM the coolest man in the world” and well guess what? I really think I am!

Coués method is over 100 years old and the idea of Autosuggestion has been bought into the 21st century. The Autosuggestion sound method is a modern technique which utilizes the technologies we have today which were not available in early 1900s France.  The new Autosuggestion sound method can be used for helping you to quit smoking, or learn a new language, to feel younger or increase self confidence. The new ideas that you can implant inside your  mind have as much unlimited potential as you do!

THE HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION

The use of meditation for healing and spiritual enlightenment has been an ancient practice that is common among the world's great religions and cultures. It is an accepted and proven alternative therapy that is classified under “mind-body medicine.”

Through the years, more and more people have found meditation as an effective way to ease chronic pain, improve heart health, relieve stress and anxiety, boost mood and immunity, and resolve pregnancy problems. Even doctors are already prescribing meditation as a way to lower blood pressure; improve exercise performance in people with angina; help people with asthma breathe easier; and to relieve insomnia.  It is a safe and simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

According to cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD: “Any condition that's caused or worsened by stress can be alleviated through meditation.”  Benson is the founder of the Mind/Body Institute at Harvard Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.   He said that the relaxation induced by meditation can help decrease metabolism, lower blood pressure, and improve heart rate, breathing, and brain waves.  When the body receives a quiet message to relax, tension and tightness begin to seep from muscles.

Brain scans (or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI) of people who meditate have been used to show scientific evidence that meditation really works. It shows an increase in activity in areas that control metabolism and heart rate. Other studies on Buddhist monks have shown that meditation produces long-lasting changes in the brain activity in areas involving attention, working memory, learning, and conscious perception.

Meditation is not difficult to learn but it is a skill that needs to be practiced in order to develop the ability to focus on the breathing patterns and the need to ignore distracting thoughts.  Meditation is usually accompanied by a mantra, a word or phrase that is repeatedly chanted to produce a biological response such as relaxation.  The soothing power of repetition is at the heart of meditation.  Constant practice of meditation allows people to learn anddevelop the ability to produce meditative and relaxed states without difficulty. Meditating several times during the day makes the practitioner feel relaxed throughout the entire day.

Benefits of Meditation 
Heart Health: Countless studies have shown that regular practice has significantly helped reduce high blood pressure. A study conducted at the College of Maharishi Vedic Medicine in Fairfield, Iowa, showed significant lowering of blood pressure and heart rate in black adults.  Another study conducted by the American Journal of Hypertension showed that teenagers who meditated for 15 minutes twice a day for four months were able to lower their blood pressure a few points.
Immune Booster:  In a Psychosomatic Medicine study testing immune function, meditation has bben shown to be useful in warding off illness and infections.  Flu shots were given to volunteers who had meditated for eight weeks and to people who didn't meditate. The result of blood tests from the meditation group had produced higher levels of antibodies against the flu virus.

Women's Health: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), infertility problems, and even breastfeeding can be improved when women meditate regularly. In one study, PMS symptoms subsided by 58% when women meditated. Another study found that hot flashes were less intense among women who practiced meditation.  Women struggling with infertility had much less anxiety, depression and fatigue following a 10-week meditation program; 34 percent became pregnant within six months. Also, new mothers who meditated on images of milk flowing from their breasts were able to more than double their production of milk.

Meditation Enhances Brain Activity
Those who practice meditation regularly showed evidence of significantly higher brain activity, called gamma wave activity, in areas associated with learning and happiness compared with those who didn't practice meditation. Gamma waves involve mental processes including attention, memory, learning and conscious perception.

Many health care providers consider meditation as a key element of an integrated health program.  However, when you are having a hard time getting into that meditative state, try to enroll in a class.  It will help and guide you with your progress.  Any practice that can evoke the relaxation response can be beneficial, be it through meditation, yoga, breathing, or repetitive prayer.  The growing body of research literature on meditation and other alternative therapies gives us no reason to believe that one is better than the other.

Use Manifestion to alter Reality and Change your Life

There is a well known and very much overlooked ‘secret’ that Master Manifestors use continuously. It is a very basic, simple component that sets in motion all that exists in the human world. We all know it is real and absolutely necessary. Yet the vast majority of people do their level best to avoid it.

Without this ‘secret’, all dreams, hopes, wishes and well intentioned goals will remain in a keepsake box stuffed under the bed. The box will be pulled out on rainy afternoons, and its carefully saved articles dusted off and cherished once more. Some time will be spent in pondering potential possibilities, and hopefulness will expire. Great wistfulness will settle over its guardian, and with a tired resolve, the goals, ambitions and really serious potential will be carefully put to rest once more.

The real definition of potential, to put it politely, is ‘worth nothing as it sits right now’. Goals, dreams, wishes, hopes and desire have only potential without the obvious secret that can only lead to manifestation. Not worth a darn right now. There is little so common in the world as latent potential. But add the magic ingredient, and your desires will become manifest before your eyes. Pour a viscous, electric blue liquid into your keepsake box, and it will empty itself into your real world.

This secret, magic ingredient is commonly known as ‘action’. Git’r done, get it on, go, just do it, start, ACTION. This is a billion dollar concept that gifted speakers devote entire seminars to.

All desires must begin their journey into manifestation somewhere. All things already exist, but you must accept them, or go get them. You must actively allow results to happen. Take action, and get what it is you want.

Consider a sated, comfortable diner sitting after dinner at a lavish restaurant buffet. All he wanted to eat waits in shiny serving dishes. He tremendously wishes for a piece of delicious pie, but has none. Magnificent fresh pie is only across the room. Does he really want the pie itself, or is the activity of wanting pie more fun? Which will be more satisfying, wanting the desire, or fulfilling the desire? What will it take to fulfill this dream? In the diner’s case, the monumental undertaking of getting up and taking the pie will satisfy a craving.

Lose the potential, and take the action. Start and the path to success will unfold in front of you as you walk upon it. The pathway will continue as long as you wish to travel, but you must take that first step. Desire all you want, but without actually doing something about it, the reality will never manifest itself in front of you, and remain a wistful keepsake stuffed under the bed in a box.

Take action, start, and your path will reveal itself to you. Action.

Incredible BRAINWAVE Meditation OPEN YOUR MIND

Training yourself to make brainwave meditation work for you takes a bit of patience.  But the rewards can be tremendous and well worth the effort.  That is because of all the various meditation techniques, brainwave meditation combines traditional meditation disciplines with the science of monitoring and controlling the flow of your brainwaves for the good of your health and well-being.

That is one of the reasons that brainwave meditation adds another layer of value to the time you put into your meditation efforts.  It takes what is already is good about meditation and focuses the science and the discipline of an athlete to help you get the most from your meditation as possible.  But, just like anything else, if we do our part to be an active participant in the brainwave meditation process, we are sure that we will get the most out of brainwave meditation that is possible in the time we have to invest in it.  So let’s discuss some things we can do to make our time in brainwave meditation most beneficial.

Understand the Process.

If you have been involved in meditation for very long, you are already benefiting from the brainwave benefits even if you don’t know what they are or how to direct them.  That is the natural reaction to meditation.  During meditation, you direct your mind.  You learn to discipline it to put it into a contemplative state.  Then you learn to direct that contemplative state to relax your body and achieve the other positive effects of meditation that you want.  Finally, you may learn to be able to go into that contemplative state on demand even if you are in the middle of your work day.

The truth is that whatever meditation technique you are using, you are unconsciously learning to do brainwave meditation along the way.  This is simple biofeedback at the most basic level.  As you ease into your program, your meditation technique will reduce stress thus causing negative brainwaves to subside.  Then, those well rehearsed meditation routines will slowly raise your level of relaxation and control.  This is actually using brainwave meditation to accelerate the brainwaves that cause that kind of psycho-physical reaction.

So what happens with brainwave meditation is you are just wrapping the science around that process and equipping yourself with additional tools and knowledge so your meditation efforts are far more effective and you get the most out of your brainwave meditation exercises.

Do Your Homework.

Just like with any new discipline, the more you know about brainwave meditation, the better you will be at it and the more you will get out of it.  The science and development of brainwave meditation came out of several different disciplines.  We already mentioned the science of biofeedback.  You can view this science as both a source for brainwave meditation theory and an outcome of it as well.

The meditation sources for that side of the discipline of brainwave meditation come from Kundalini Yoga, for which there are ample sources for you to use to increase your knowledge and skills in this ancient art.  So you can see that brainwave meditation is very much a combination of the old and the new.

Finally some groundbreaking new research into such brain activity research such as binaural beats have had a positive influence on how brainwave meditation is used to benefit you both medically, mentally, physically and spiritually as well.  If you take the time to do your homework on these key topics, you will be able to select the right approach to brainwave meditation.  But moreover, you will be able to enter into a program of brainwave meditation so much more effectively and achieve much greater results as well.

Your Brainwave Meditation Journal

There is a lot to learn to make brainwave meditation become a major part of your meditation program.  And because Kundalini Yoga is a discipline, it will take time for you to grow and advance in your ability to conquer this mental and spiritual discipline.  As with any regimen of discipline whether it be diet or exercise or even athletic preparation for an event, a journal is an outstanding way for you to track your progress, record questions and update each day with new discoveries and things you want to do to improve your brainwave meditation approach.

We know that entering into this new side of your meditation program is going to be an adventure.  But if you put in a good faith effort, you learn to understand the process so you know what to do with each new change and advance in your discipline and you do your homework so you are both a smart and educated student of brainwave meditation, you will get the most from your work.  Not only that but you will benefit the most from brainwave meditation and you will have a lot more fun with it too.
