5 Ways To Know Your Past Lives
Tumblr media
It is believed that we were living a life before this one, and one before that and one before that. That we've been reincarnated. Perhaps you were a princess in the middle-ages, a priest in the 1800's, or even a bird 50 years ago! Use the examples below in an attempt to find where your soul has journeyed before.
Tarot Cards Past Life & Karmic Tarot Spreads Many people go to the cards looking for answers for clearing work, or Karma, and past life. There are a lot of spreads you can use to do this- I suggest looking on a forum for Tarot readers. Many of the spreads are time consuming- some can cover your floor and take up to three hours. In my experience, though, it's worth it learn vedic meditation online.
I Don't Have A Tarot Deck If you don't have a Tarot deck you can receive a reading from a pro either online or in person. For convenience and for free, however, (and not necessarily accuracy!) there are computerized Tarot readers that can generate a reading for you.
Palmistry Past Life & Karmic Palm Readings Palmistry is the art of looking at the shape/texture of one's hand to reveal health, mind, travel, lifestyle, dreams, etc. Karmic and past-life palmistry isn't practiced by all palm readers but it can be done by some. Some just look at the impression/depth of the hand's lines, some can tell by the "bracelet" on the wrist, some tell by the marriage line, and some do it with looking at both hands in general. If you intend on looking at your own hands to find past lives, I suggest learning the basics of palmistry first. This way you can decide for yourself if it's even possible to find the past lives on the paws.
Astrology Past Life & Karmic Astrology Chart This type of Astrology involves a certain amount of intuition. It depends on the Astrologer and his/her personal belief with whether or not they practice this method. Past lives may be seen in the general makeup of a natal chart, planetary position, the various zodiac signs' "age", nodes, etc. Though this is more often associated with Vedic Astrology, there are Western Astrologers who practice past-life and karmic Astrology.
Guided Meditation Past Life Regression Via Hypnotism or Meditation/Yoga The most well known way to obtain information on one's past lives is by having a therapist/hypnotist guide you into your subconscious mind. These sessions have actually been recorded for television and though they might seem new, oh about a few decades old, it's only the hype. This method has been around for centuries, probably even before the 2nd BCE with origins deep in the Eastern regions. When the question arose on why we can't remember our past lives, scholars and monks alike sought the solution. One Hindu Scholar figured it was from an overload of karma from past lives weighing the soul down. In China, however, there is a deity that is thought to be responsible for this forgetfulness to explain this theory..
Self Guided Hypnotism Self-Hypnosis In the end, you can always put yourself in a trance. This takes a certain amount of concentration. Meditations for past lives can be found all over the Internet. I suggest having another person in the room with you, even if they think you're just taking a nap!
Another way in self-hypnosis to obtain knowledge of the past life is to lucid dream. In a lucid dream some think that we go to the Astral Plane. You can actually train yourself to live through these dreams and let them lead you to scenarios in your subconscious mind. People have actually been recorded speaking languages they've never known before in their sleep- it is thought these are projections of their past life seeping through.

Kill Off Your Ancestors
Tumblr media
If you have been doing family history for any length of time then you will have probably have heard the advice given as a mantra by the professionals to "kill off your ancestors".
I first came across it in a course on English family history. What the tutor meant was that we should always collect the entire set of vital record details for an ancestor, including the death records, and not just be satisfied with their birth and marriage or census data.
Recently, revisiting a branch of my English family tree, that I had only barely scratched the surface of, I proved why this advice is so valuable.
In the 1851 English census I was able to find my 3 x great-grandmother Mary Ann Westlake, whose maiden name was Legg, married to Thomas Westlake, a Brass Founder and Plumber in the Devon city of Plymouth. From these records for Thomas and Mary Ann I noticed that they were both the same age, having been born in 1818.
When I moved on to find them in the 1861 census and noted that the transcript on one look-up site had Thomas' wife listed as "Clara M Westlake" but as her date of birth was still 1818 I just put this down to a transcription error. Opening the image I could see that the writing was none too clear, giving the transcriber a bit of a job to work out. What it certain, though, is it didn't look anything like Mary Ann!
Popping over to another subscription site and the transcription for their 1851 census was given as "Chrisk W".
At a third site and the same 1851 census I got the transcription returned as "Catherine W". The writing on the census page had challenged the transcribers at all three sites and I can not blame them for their differing attempts to make sense of the entry as I certainly couldn't transcendental meditation mantras meaning.
So what had happened to Mary Ann? Had she tired of her name and changed it to something more exotic? Or had she died and Thomas had taken a new wife, who also happened to have been born in the same year as he and the former Mrs Westlake? I decided to do some detective work and search for a death of Mary Ann Westlake from after the 1851 census and before the 1861. What I found was a number of candidates that could have been my great-great-great-grandmother.
So now I approached the problem by seeing if I could find a second marriage for Thomas and here I can testify to the usefulness of the advice to "always kill off your ancestors". You see, by having done just this for Thomas, having found his death in the records and then the listing for his probate, I was able to discover that he had an unusual middle name of "Scoble".
Now I could look for a marriage of Thomas Scoble Westlake and I found just the two in the databases. One was in 1841 to Mary Ann Legg in Stoke Damerel, which is in the Devonport area. The other was to Christian Upcott Harwood in the last quarter of 1859 in Falmouth, Cornwall. I had the name of the second wife!
Though this asked the question, if Thomas and Christian were wed in 1859, then what had happened to Mary Ann? The records show that in the second quarter of 1859 a death was registered in Plymouth for her, allowing Thomas to take a new wife in the fourth quarter! I will need to order a copy of the death certificate to find out if this is the correct person and also what she died of, but the assumption is there.
So who was Christian Upcott Harwood? I had looked for her birth or christening without any luck. Then it struck me that perhaps she too was a widow. I now looked for the marriage of a Christian Upcott, leaving the bride's maiden name blank, to someone called Harwood and I found one to Samuel Peter Harwood in 1841 in Lewisham. Christian was from Plymouth, Devon and he was from Plumstead in Kent.
A death occurred in East Stonehouse, Devon in the year 1858 to one Samuel Harwood and I assume it was his widow who married Thomas Scoble Westlake. Family history is a fascinating subject. Like all topics, however, you need to approach it with a certain discipline or mistakes will creep into you family tree. There are rules and conventions and my advice is to learn as much about them to prevent you "barking up the wrong family tree".

Malas, Buddhist Prayer Beads
Tumblr media
Prayer beads have been used for centuries as a form of devotion and meditation. A prayer or mantra is recited for each of the beads. Many religions have some sort of prayer bead, Christianity-rosary, Hindu-jappa, Islam-subhah, and Buddhist-mala. The ones I am most familiar with are Buddhist malas. I am a Buddhist and use them in my practice so hum meditation meaning.
There are many traditions surrounding the use of prayer beads. The type of material the beads are made from, symbols carved or painted on them, the number of beads, how they are actually used, and what religion they are from. I have seen references state that Buddhism was the first to use beads as a form of meditation and devotion. Here in the West, western Buddhists are forming their own traditions as many of the Eastern traditions are not relative to our cultures. The importance of practices are kept, the way they are done may be done from a different perspective. So, this article will reflect how I use the mala on my path. A search of articles will produce traditional uses in each of the major branches of Buddhism if the reader is interested in traditional uses.
Exactly what is a mala?
Making a mala is like composing haiku, sonnets, or limericks. There is a prescribed framework that must be worked within. This framework can be number of beads, in some cases patterns of beads (where markers go), always a guru bead that ties the whole into one and usually a tassel, though the last is personal preference. The guru bead has three holes. The guru bead represents the guru or spiritual teacher.
The categories of malas are as follows.
Full Mala 108 beads, 3 markers spaced every 27 beads, and the guru bead.
Hand Mala: 27 beads, 2 makers, and guru.
Jappa: 36 beads, including the guru and there are no marker beads.
Wrist mala: 18 beads, no guru or markers and is usually, on a cord made adjustable by a Chinese slip knot.
The astute reader will notice a pattern in the number of beads... they are all divisible by 3 or 9. These are considered holy numbers. Stay with me while I explain some math concerning these numbers. 108 is divisible by both 3 and 9. If we take the individual components that make up the number 108 and add them together, 1+0+8=9, and there is 9 again. 27 is divisible by 3 and 9. It is the interval between the marker beads 2+7=9. There is 9 again and 27 is divisible by 3 and 9. There are 3 marker beads which marks 4 groups of 27 beads. The first mark is 27 beads, as explained it adds up to 9. The second set of 27 beads makes the total counted 54...adds up to 9. The third set of beads makes the count 81, it adds up to 9. And at the guru bead it is the 108. A 27 bead mala may be self explanatory, but to stay consistent, 2+7=9 and 27 is divisible by 3 and 9. 36 beads, yes, you see it, 3+6=9 and 36 is divisible by 3 and 9. An 18 bead wrist mala, 1+8=9 and 18 is divisible by 3 and 9. In Hinduism, the number 108 is a holy number and many devotional practices must be repeated 108 times. Both Buddhism and Hinduism took this numerology from earlier Indian religion.
The choice of materials may or may not have significance. They can be made from wood, bone, carved bone in the shape of a human skull, semi-precious gemstones, sandalwood, red sandalwood, bodhi seed, rosewood, precious metals, lotus seed in the sun and moon pattern...white with black speckles for the stars and a small hole drilled for the moon, resins which are called amber in Tibetan malas, glass, and can be embellished with metal spacers, focal beads between the guru and the tassel, with the tassel being real silk or imitation. Carnelian, a natural stone that is often dyed to make it a consistent carnelian cherry red, is the stone associated with the historical Shakyamuni Buddha, Gotama. Quartz crystal is the stone associated with Quan Yin, the boddisattva of compassion. Lapis lazuli is the stone of the Medicine Buddha Basaijaya Guru whose skin is the color of lapis. The bodhi seed is wood from the bodhi tree, Ficus religiosa, under which the Buddha gained enlightenment. Sandalwood is a scented wood which helps the user to reach a higher purpose. Red sandalwood is not fragrant but is a naturally red wood. Rosewood is endangered and it is difficult to find and is expensive. Red sandalwood is substituted for it and often sold as it. The lotus seed is representative of purity. Up from the muck and decay at the bottom of the pond, it rises to the surface to open pure, brilliantly white... a metaphor of a journey through the cycles of birth and suffering to finally gain the purity of enlightenment. The carved bone human skulls are the reminder of impermanence. All things are impermanent including us and as a point of meditation, it is an aid to realizing the truth of impermanence and an end to the suffering caused by the misconception that things are permanent.

What Is the Shiva Samhita?
Tumblr media
The Shiva Samhita or the compendium of Shiva, is an ancient anonymous Sanskrit text on the practice and art of Yoga. It is one of three surviving classical Yogic scriptures. The other two yogic texts are the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Gheranda Samhita. The Shiva Samhita is considered by many scholars to be the most complete Yogic compendium to date. The Shiva Samhita is a dialogue between Lord Shiva and his consort, Parvati. This discourse includes detailed instructions on how to perform various Yoga asanas, mudras, pranayams, meditation, tantric practices and even the finer points of abstract Yogic philosophy  aham brahmasmi logo.
The text is beautifully written as if the reader is listening to a conversation between Shiva and Parvati. Shiva is the symbolic representation of the creative and destructive power of the divine masculine. His consort, Parvati, represents the gentle feminine creative power of the universe. The Shiva Samhita discusses many of the esoteric details of the practice of Yoga. In fact, the text discusses eighty-four different asanas, four of which are described in detail, along with the benefits of mantra repetition, Yogic philosophy, five different types of prana, tantric practices, and the art of meditation.
The chapters of the Shiva Samhita cover various aspects of the practice of Yoga. The word "Yoga" means the union of a human soul with the divine. Some of the aspects that are covered in the chapters of the Shiva Samhita are several methods of liberation, the structure of our 72,000 nadis, and the awakening of the Kundalini Shakti energy. Additionally, the Shiva Samhita outlines the importance of having a true Guru who can awaken the Kundalini energy safely, as well as describing the subtle body and the movement of prana.
There is an explanation in the Shiva Samhita of hand mudras or sacred gestures, eleven of which may substantially support a Yoga student in reaching liberation. In the text, Shiva also clarifies obstacles that a seeker may encounter on the spiritual path and outlines techniques for working with both those obstacles and our shadow aspects. In addition, the Yoga of sacred sound or Nada Yoga is discussed along with the practice of mantra repetition.
Many scholars believe that the Shiva Samhita was written between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, in or around Varanasi, India. It is a beautiful text that enumerates and explains how to practice and succeed on a classical Yogic path.
Even though the text discusses many esoteric aspects of practicing Yoga, Shiva himself emphasizes that even an ordinary individual, or family, living in the middle of the maelstrom of the world can benefit from a regular practice of Yoga.

Animal Crossing for Nintendo Game Cube: Why My Husband Can't Play
Tumblr media
It's been almost four years since it's debut and Animal Crossing is still a very popular title for owners of Nintendo GameCube. It's adorable animal characters and evolving world make it a great game for kids and grownups (well some, say me) alike. But never, ever, under any circumstance play Animal Crossing with your husband. Take it from someone whose been there, some games are better left unshared
If you have never played Animal Crossing and are a fan of the 'cute and simple' games like Harvest Moon and Spyro the Dragon, this is a really fun game. You take on the persona of either a boy or a girl who decides it's time to leave home and strike it out alone. Somehow you end up in a town inhabited by (talking) animals. It is a lovely little town and you decide to stay acnl sanrio amiibo cards . In the town there is a shopkeep (Tom Nook), who is also a slum...er... landlord on the side. He will be happy to sell you one of the four homes he owns in trade for doing some odd jobs. Working hard you eventually pay off your home and can have an even bigger one made if you desire. At Tom's shop and around the town you can find TONS of items and furniture to decorate with. Fun!
After having your basic needs for shelter and a cute coffee table met, you decide it's time to get to know your neighbors. Have I mentioned they are talking animals? This town is a habitat for so many different types of wildlife, you ask yourself how they can possibly coexist as they do. They make it work and some eventually become friends of yours, or at least tolerated neighbors. You can visit their homes, give them gifts or just hang out with them. You can even design clothes for your toon or an animal friend to wear. Because everyday in the 'real world' is also a day in the Animal Crossing realm (say it's September 17th here, it will also be Sept 17th in the game) there will be interesting things for you and your animal friends to do. You might pick fruit, fish, collect butterflies or attend a holiday festival. There is even a post office where you can write letters to the animals to let them know how much you like them so they don't feel lonely and move away(it's always sad when an animal feels neglected and leaves town).
I played Animal Crossing happily for many months, enjoying the changing of the seasons and the holidays. There is no violence or crime in the Animal Crossing world. The worst damage you can do to a resident is to hit him on the head with your butterfly net until they get angry and stormclouds brew over their heads. It was a peaceful existence I had with the animals and I cherished each moment. Until that one fateful day when my husband moved in.
My landlord had three other homes for rent so I thought I'd extend the offer to my husband. I wanted him to share in the lovely world the animals and I had created. I should have known early on, when the animals asked what his name was and he replied Jerk-Face that things would get ugly. But I have never been good at seeing red flags.
Jerk-Face worked hard to pay for his home. In fact, he had a much nicer home than I did within days. He toiled for Tom Nook and I admit to being a bit envious. He had not, however, made friends with any of the animals yet and I felt he was missing out on the comaraderie of the town. I urged him to venture out and meet his new friends. Although four people can live in the Animal Crossing town, only one person can play at a time. I had a long week at work so I told him that he was in charge of keeping the animals happy while I was away. On Friday I asked him how things in the Animal Crossing world were going. He smiled wickedly.
I had seen that smile before. We had played Sims together for awhile and this was the same smile he had when my sim-girl up and left my house to marry his evil, scientist sim, who made her work all day while he made potions. I think the scientist's name was Jerk-Face, too. Why hadn't I learned my lesson then?
I grabbed the controller and logged in my character. I quickly saw what he was grinning about. All of the animals were bringing me letters that Jerk-Face had written them. They went something like this... Dear Cow....Sleep with one eye open you stupid buttwipe. I'm having steak for dinner! mwahahaha...Love and Kisses, Jerkface
The animals were also wearing new clothes, Jerk-Face exclusives. They were bright red and black nightmares with pictures of devils and skulls painted on them. I glared at my husband and he shrugged.
But, perhaps, the very worst thing he had done was to chase the animals with the butterfly net all week, hitting them so many times that a few left town without saying goodbye. He was quite proud of himself

The Symbolic Meaning of the 'Lotus Buddha' Or 'Contemplation Buddha
Tumblr media
A Buddha sculpture is frequently utilized as an instrument for reflection. Buddha sculptures are images of Buddhism's originator Siddhartha Gautama, who instructed us that by taking out all wants from our lives we can arrive at Nirvana. This is where enduring doesn't exist. At the point when one has accomplished Nirvana the pattern of resurrection and passing closures. The way to accomplishing that Nirvana is mental order and the capacity to grasp and follow the eightfold way.
Buddha sculptures arrive in an assortment of stances and styles from the more old style Tibetan and Nepali Buddha sculptures to the unusual snickering Buddha otherwise called the cheerful Buddha. Contemplation, dispersing dread, showing present, leaning back Buddha, and earth contacting present are only a couple of the mainstream Buddha sculpture positions. Frequently the Buddha is seen sitting on a lotus blossom symbolizing virtue and awesome birth. One Buddhist statement recommends, "the soul of the best of men is immaculate, similar to the new Lotus in the sloppy water which doesn't hold fast to it."
The sculpture is frequently alluded to as the reflection Buddha or a Lotus Buddha as Buddha in this position looks like a lotus bloom. The sculptures are ordinarily set on a base that takes after the stem of a lotus bloom. Notwithstanding the lotus image of immaculateness it was likewise the emblematic vehicle that conveyed the Buddha up to Nirvana thus has hugeness along these lines too. The lotus bloom has its underlying foundations in the filth and mud yet emerges with excellent blooms.
This is again emblematic of the Buddha's ascent from humble roots to accomplish Nirvana. In the Lotus Buddha sculpture the hand positions or mudra place the fingers of the correct hand laying on those of the left. While the hands rested tenderly in the lab the legs are crossed. Left foot is set on the privilege by with the ball and impact point of the foot uncovered and right foot is set on the left in a similar stance. This position is usually utilized for reflection and unwinding and is known as the lotus position.
The lotus bloom is rich with emblematic importance in Buddhism. It is an image of Bodhi, a condition of otherworldly flawlessness and complete mental virtue, the placation of our base nature. Depicted in Buddhist craftsmanship it for the most part has eight petals which symbolize the eightfold way of the Good Law. It is the white or pink lotus that is most firmly connected with Buddha. At the point when the lotus is seen in shifting shades of shading this for the most part has a particular importance.

Advantages of Morning Meditation
Tumblr media
I frequently hear individuals state that they are incredibly worried about such huge numbers of things throughout everyday life. These things incorporate work, cash, youngsters, absence of extra time, and so forth. We live in a general public in which "hecticness" is viewed as beneficial, yet the reality of the situation is "hecticness" is destroying individuals. Individuals are strolling around drained, detached, and loaded with nervousness. Stress is really turning into a pestilence. There consistently is by all accounts some place to go and something to do to stay aware of the "Joneses".
Individuals will in general accelerate as opposed to backing off. They begin running when they feel compelled as opposed to taking a full breath, plunking down, and unwinding for a little while to accumulate their contemplations and an arrangement. I compare it to a lady running hysterically not far off as a vehicle is pursuing her. She is running and shouting for her life, when all she truly needs to do is get off the street and let the vehicle cruise by.
With so much pressure heaping on, what is a conceivable arrangement? Let me share with you one straightforward practice that everybody can follow effectively and from the solace of their homes that will assist them with defeating the issue of pressure and strain - reflection.
Reflection, which was at first alluded to as an otherworldly action related to strict convictions, has now been broadly acknowledged even by standard clinical experts as a strategy to lead a solid and lively way of life. There are numerous discernments that individuals have about reflection and many don't comprehend the advantages of contemplation.
Medical advantages
Essentially, contemplation includes the internal procedure of preparing one's brain so as to understand some advantage. It is a workmanship to be learned so as to bring the body into a condition of unwinding and the psyche into a condition of higher cognizance.
It is so straightforward, yet individuals will in general oppose the training because of different reasons. Most likely the main motivation individuals don't rehearse contemplation is on the grounds that they are so disposed to "do," they can't simply sit and "not do". To sit with yourself for a couple of moments every day breathing profound and loosening up sounds so basic, however yet hoards decide not to exploit the advantages of reflection.
Not exclusively would meditation be able to help an individual intellectually, it can likewise realize various medical advantages to individuals, particularly when polished toward the beginning of the day. Morning reflection is normally progressively ground-breaking as the brain will in general be more settled and more clear in the first part of the day and by rehearsing contemplation in the early morning, it gets simpler to clear the psyche and increase another point of view for the afternoon. It sets your vibration for the day very well and numerous who practice contemplation toward the beginning of the day will reveal to you that their days go better.
There are various approaches to work on morning contemplation and there are key reflection benefits also. These include:
Mantra Meditation - This is contemplation that includes the utilization of sound or mantra to ease pressure.
Yoga - This technique controls the breathing and furthermore enlarges the body adaptability.
Petition - The most generally rehearsed technique that includes saying supplications.
Reflection - Meditation through composed or expressed word.
Strolling - An exceptionally successful strategy utilizing physical exercise to center considerations.
Advantages of contemplation
Is it true that you are prepared to focus on this old practice? Do you want to save a couple of moments each morning for "you" time? Assuming this is the case, it will take a dedication on your part, in light of the fact that most mornings you won't "feel" like sitting still and clearing your psyche. Typically when you wakeful you are intended for contemplating everything you should do that day or start agonizing over your issues.
Morning contemplation gives the accompanying advantages:
· Helps in building abilities to handle pressure.

What's more, you can realize this amazing system whether you are new to reflection or are an accomplished ace.

Albert Einstein thought in pictures.

Try not to trust it? Consider a huge, shaggy creepy crawly arriving on your head and being caught in your hair.

Five-Minute Meditation Techniques
Tumblr media
Something that can disrupt the general flow of numerous potential contemplation experts is the time it takes. The open imagines a contemplation meeting taking such a huge part of time that the training is interminably put off, until there is sufficient time for it.
In all actuality - that the prize can't be acknowledged until after the training is done. Customary professionals are so acquainted with the prize that their mentality possesses made energy for contemplation. To the slacker, there will never be the ideal minute. The incongruity is that when time is short, reflection should be possible in a short time. These little reflections will include, when rehearsed through the span of a regular day, which means even the busiest of individuals can receive a portion of the rewards of contemplation.
Breath Awareness Meditation
Breath mindfulness contemplation is perhaps the best system to pick, in spite of its effortlessness. For five minutes - simply inhale, unwind, and center the brain around the demonstration of relaxing. This can be worked on sitting, standing, or strolling - it truly doesn't make a difference. The only thing that is important is that the consideration is offered completely to the breath. The mouth ought to for the most part be shut (except if there are sinus issues), with the tongue level against the top of the mouth.
On the off chance that conceivable, all air ought to be breathed in and breathed out through the nose. Give close consideration to how the breath feels as it enters the lungs, extending them step by step, however without driving. Note how the exhalation brings total quietness. Feel completely, and intentionally, how the chest and stomach rise and fall with every breath. Do this for five minutes, at that point return to your general surroundings, while as yet keeping a smidgen of your consideration inside - feeling the breath. This is a significantly quieting experience.
Five-Minute Visualization
An additional five-minute contemplation technique is to add representation to the cognizant breathing reflection. At the point when focused, envision turning into a tree established into the ground, however bowing with the breeze. At the point when you are feeling deadened, imagine yourself turning into a feathered creature and taking off, taking off high over life's dramatization and issues. Envision this as unmistakably as could be expected under the circumstances; feel the breeze underneath your wings and the sun on your back. In the wake of imagining this total opportunity, return to the real world; yet remember, that if necessary, that spot of rest and getaway is still there. For guided reflections, it is useful to set a clock, so as to completely discharge yourself into the representation, without stressing over taking additional time than arranged.
Five-Minute Walking Meditation
A five-minute walk can turn into a rich contemplation experience, whenever rehearsed in a careful way. Practice complete body mindfulness during the physical action, and it right away turns into a contemplation.
Five-Minute Mindfulness Meditation
Taking a five-minute lunch break might be utilized as a smaller than usual contemplation, and numerous individuals do this without acknowledging it. Take a beverage, hold it in two hands, and focus on the substance of the cup. Note all the fragrances and the way the liquid looks.
Breathe in profoundly and relish the sensation. At that point, take a taste, tasting all the kinds of the fluid, both unobtrusive and unmistakable. During this time, don't name, simply watch. The greater part of us have seen somebody playing out this incidental reflection or have done it without anyone else's help on various events.
End
At the core of contemplation is engaged consideration and mindfulness. Anything we direct our full concentration toward might be viewed as a contemplation. Stress less over classifying "things" and spotlight more on being careful, at whatever point conceivable. Regardless of whether you have 5 minutes or 50 minutes for careful contemplation, it will have an incredible effect in ordinary living.

How to Use Guided Meditations to Awaken and Utilize the Power of Your Mind!
Tumblr media
If you're ready to take the first steps toward creating a better life, you need to find someone to walk you through the basics of meditation. People who have listened to guided meditation CDs have experienced increases in creative problem solving, improved concentration, and reductions in tension and stress. Guided meditation takes you through visualization strengthening exercises that are easy to understand and apply. These exercises help to strengthen your body-mind connection to improve mental focus and acuity. You deserve a better life, and learning to meditate can lead you to peace of mind and a stress free body.
I've taught meditation courses since 1981 and have developed a line of meditations that use relaxation techniques to address everything from stress management and insomnia to weight loss and manifesting abundance. If you're a person who doesn't believe in the power of the 'body-mind' connection then how do you explain what happens to your body while engaging in a sexual fantasy? The mind is so powerful and such a part of our lives that we forget to use it for our own benefit. Most people fill their minds with fear and when thinking about the future they imagine what could go 'wrong' rather than what could go 'right'.
If you're like most people you don't have time to register for a 3 day meditation course. Guided meditation is the perfect solution for a busy life-style. Finding audio recordings to help guide you, step-by-step, into the experience of meditation, is like having your own private meditation coach available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all at-the-touch of a button. No more books to read, simply press play and close your eyes and in minutes you'll be meditating like a master. It has never been easier and here are some tips on finding a good guided meditation.
1. Is there background music? Music relaxes the right (creative) portion of your brain while the guided voice relaxes the left (analytical) part of your brain. Try using a guided meditation that has relaxing back ground music to help relax your entire brain.
2. Does the guiding voice sooth and calm you? Be sure to select a guided meditation that has a male or female voice you enjoy listening too.
3. Find a place where you will not be disturbed. Turn off your phone, close the door and let your family know you do not want to be disturbed for the next 30-45 minutes while you are listening to the guided meditation. Be sure you sit in a favorite chair or lie on the couch. Don't try meditating in your bed. Your subconscious mind associates your bed with sleep and you may fall asleep during your meditation.
4. Wear loose comfortable clothing.
5. To help relax quicker, add some lubricating eye drops to each eye before closing them for meditation. This can help soothe and relax your eyes quickly. Relaxed eyes help your entire body let go of stress more quickly.
6. Practice listening to 2-3 different meditation titles to learn different relaxation techniques.
7. Let your mind soar. Be as imaginative and creative as possible as the words are spoken let yourself really focus and feel the words with your entire body, mind and spirit. Learning the basics of guided meditation opens your mind to experiences you never thought possible.

Using Meditation With Your Law of Attraction Practice
Tumblr media
I cannot overemphasize the benefits of daily meditation as an integral part of a law of attraction practice. It has long been known that meditation can lower blood pressure and helps with depression and anxiety. In addition, meditation clears the mind and releases resistance, which in turn allows your desires to start flowing more naturally to you. As a bonus, meditation creates a fertile state for imaginative ideas to flow from inside.
There are many types of meditation practices. A comprehensive description of the types of meditation would take a great deal of time. Instead, I will talk about some simple meditations that a busy person might use in this article. I will also present a simple mindfulness meditation that can be used. It will be up to you to explore further and decide upon a meditation practice if you so choose.
Mindfulness Meditation
This mindfulness meditation was adapted from a Buddhist meditation called Vipassana. Start by choosing a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Then sit in a comfortable position. You can sit in a traditional cross-legged position or in any other position that is comfortable. You can use a chair if you want. It is important thing is to keep your spine straight to prevent you from becoming sluggish or sleepy. Initially, the goal of meditation is to lessen distractions and clear your mind.
Sit with your eyes closed and turn your attention to your breathing. Breathe naturally, preferably through the nostrils. Do not attempt to control your breath. Now become aware of the breath as it enters and exits the nostrils. This sensation will be the object of your meditation. Try to focus on it only.
Your thoughts will eventually stray to more mundane matters. That is perfectly alright. As soon as you realize your thoughts have strayed, return your focus to the breath. Use a timer and do this for fifteen to thirty minutes per day. Just like anything, this requires practice. Try to avoid frustration with the process. On some days, meditation will work better than on others.
Mantra Meditations
Centering Prayer is a westernized form of meditation in the Christian tradition. Its main proponent is Father Thomas Keating. First you choose a "sacred word" which resonates with you, such as "Yeshua." You then sit comfortably, close your eyes and silently repeat the word in your mind. As your attention wanders, return your mind to the sacred word. I used this method for many years with good results.
Attraction and Desire with a Meditation Practice
Be aware that some meditation practices have associated philosophies that encourage the releasing of desires. This would imply that desires themselves are undesirable (strange logic). Law of attraction teachers, however, will tell you that there is nothing wrong with a healthy desire and that it is the resistance, not the desire, which you want to release.
Brainwave Entrainment
There are soundtracks available using binaural beats technology that can entrain your brainwaves into theta states similar to those of someone who is meditating. You need to use headphones to get the full effect. After using some of these products, I can attest to the fact that they do move your brain activity into different states as advertised. However, I don't know that the long term benefits are the same as meditation. Through meditation, you learn to move on your own into higher states of consciousness.
Guided Meditations
Guided Meditations are available from various sources as audio programs on CD or MP3 format. A guided meditation is one where the leader speaks a narrative, usually to background music. The words lead you into a deeper meditation. For some people that have difficulty meditating on their own, guided meditations are a good idea. Guided meditations are particularly good for noisy or busy places such as public transportation.
Times and Places for Meditation
While it is best to practice meditation in a quiet, private place, with practice you can meditate in other places. Any place where you can find a moment of aloneness will do. Public transportation, airports, parked cars and public parks all are places where you can practice meditation. You may need to use background music or guided meditations through headphones to offset any noise in the environment.
Of course, don't meditate or listen to guided meditations while driving or operating equipment.
Meditation Resources
There is an abundance of meditation teachers and classes both in person and online. Techniques range from the simple (like the one in this article) to in-depth multi-year programs. Sometimes a good teacher can help you if you have any difficulties meditating.
Regularity of Practice
To achieve the full benefit, you should meditate at least once daily, for at twenty minutes to one half hour. It is important to be regular and not skip days if at all possible. Once you have developed a consistent practice, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
Using Affirmations with Meditation
Affirmations are affirmative statements used by students of the law of attraction describing their reality as they see it and know it. For instance, "I am attracting wealth everyday" is an affirmation. If you use your affirmations when you are not feeling in alignment, you will not get the benefit that you seek. Instead, use your affirmations after your meditation, when you are in a higher vibrational state and more receptive.

Yoga - Its Benefits and Types
Tumblr media
Yoga is a type of meditation done to cleanse mind and soul. It has a positive influence on one's physical appearance and psychological behavior.

It is noticed that one who continues to practice yoga meditation can live for years. There are various positions to perform yoga exercise.

What Are Different Types of Meditations?
Tumblr media
There are many types of meditations that can be performed.
Different cultures and religious traditions engage in literally hundreds of types of various meditative practices.
Different authorities on meditation have their own classification of the core types of meditations. I think all different types of meditations fall into three unique categories.
The first class of the meditation is the concentration meditation. This is the most popular meditation. The concentration meditation is the one that fits most closely with the general perception about what meditation should be.
In concentration meditation, you pick an object of concentration. You bring your full attention to this object of concentration. The object of concentration can be anything. It can be a physical object, specific physical sensation or your breath.
You bring your attention to the object of concentration and focus your attention on the object. Within a very short time, you will find that you have wandered away from the object of your attention. This is how your mind operates by default.
The essence of concentration meditation is that when you realize that you have wandered away from the object of your concentration, you bring yourself back to the object of attention. You do this in a nonjudgmental manner.
What is essentially happening is that you are training your brain to improve its concentration faculty. It is like flexing the muscle. You are training your mind to be more attentive and keep up attention for longer periods of time.
The second class of meditation is the awareness or insight meditation. It is also popularly known as mindfulness meditation. In a way mindfulness meditation is very similar to concentration meditation.
In mindfulness meditation you become aware of what you are doing while you are doing it. In awareness meditations your primary aim is to bring awareness to all your activities, feelings and mental states. Just as in concentration meditation you try to improve your attention by focusing on an object for extended periods, in awareness meditation you try to keep up your awareness for an extended time.
In practice you typically start with awareness of your physical self, i.e. your body. Becoming aware of your body may sound like nonsensical as you may think you are already aware of your physical body.
But that is really not the case. Because we are usually very busy with thinking, planning, ruminating and doing things. We usually just don't pay attention to our body unless it becomes sick.
Mindfulness meditation is essentially awareness training. By default we are aware of what we are doing only for a very limited set of activities. With mindfulness meditation we train our awareness to be present for more of the time.
After having practiced the awareness of the physical body, one goes on to become aware of one's thoughts. You try to become aware of the kind of thoughts your mind is engaged in. Whether those thoughts are about something that happened in the past, or it is in anticipation of what is going to happen in future.
Further on you can practice becoming aware of your feelings or emotions. This is recognizing what is your state of mind. Whether you are feeling happy, sad, angry or neutral at the current moment. You practice trying to keep up the awareness of your current emotions as moments pass by.
The third and last type of meditation is visualization meditation. Again there are many forms of visualization meditations that people practice. The main idea is to repetitively practice a particular type of visualization.
Some of the examples of visualizations involve imagining yourself getting cured of a disease, getting showered with positive energy or getting purged of negative energy.
One of the popular type of visualization meditation is called loving kindness meditation. You imagine sending loving kindness to your loved ones. You gradually expand the circle of people that you send loving kindness, the circle can potentially involve people you find difficult to get along.

Meditation in a Busy Life
Our frenzied timetables are packed with emergencies, daily agendas, issues checked critical and flooding in plate... Far away from ordinary occasions, at your center, lies a position of tranquil, quiet, quietness, and stillness... Feeling associated with life and your center can be an ordinary and easy action. Imprint Thornton
Would it be advisable for you to contemplate? The short answer is "Yes!" So if that is all you needed to discover, you can quit perusing at this moment. Be that as it may, I trust you don't on the grounds that next I'm going to give you my interpretation of the what?, why?, when?, where?, and how? of contemplation.
Leading I'll caution you that I'm not a perfectionist with regards to meditation, so in case you're searching for a talk on Buddhist profound standards on contemplation, you've gone to an inappropriate spot. I'm an occupied with, working guardian who utilizes contemplation to quiet myself, to bring harmony and satisfaction into my heart, and to bring mindfulness and clearness into my life. In case you're searching for to a greater degree a Buddhist point of view, you may take a stab at perusing the creator Lama Surya Das. Be that as it may, in case you're searching for a methodology less enveloped by profound language and increasingly custom fitted to a cutting edge, boisterous life, at that point I trust this article causes you.
What
There are progressively formal definitions for what meditation is, however what it comes down to is only a fundamental centering of consideration and calming of the shallow contemplations of the brain. It's getting aware of what's happening in your mind instead of being on auto-pilot obviously. Contemplation is an opportunity to:
* contact the internal stillness that exists underneath the degree of your musings
* carry your quiet regard for an issue or feeling you need to determine
* remain quiet at whenever under any circumstance
* loosen up your psyche and body
* interface, on the otherworldly side, with the inventive vitality of life.
Also, think about what - you as of now do a type of contemplation constantly. You center consideration around replaying the contention you had with your life partner, on how fat you are, or on how minimal expenditure you have. In the event that none of those work, what about the ever famous, oblivious thoughtful abstain of "I look like poo today." These are the kinds of negative things your psyche goes to when you're sleeping at the worst possible time, when you're not deliberately focusing on what you're thinking.
At the point when you choose to ruminate, you decide to be intentionally mindful of where your consideration goes and you can decide to relinquish contemplations that don't bolster you in a positive manner. At the point when you choose to ponder, you can likewise decide to turn out to be peaceful inside - something your reasoning brain once in a while allows you to do.
Why
Here's a short rundown of a portion of the advantages of meditation:
1. Diminishes feelings of anxiety in the brain and body
2. Can help with despondency, fears and clashed feelings
3. Develops self-assurance
4. Develops harmony and satisfaction in your life - it can really raise your inborn capacity to be cheerful
5. Eases back maturing and improves memory
6. Mends the body, fortify the insusceptible framework, diminish PMS, and calm cerebral pains
7. Permits you to carry quiet to any circumstance
8. Encourages you to make a progressively intentional life
9. On the profound side, numerous who advance contemplation express that it's a method to intentionally associate with the imaginative power of the Universe or God
10. Permits you to center your inventive vitality to pull in the things you want into your life.
When and Where
Whenever! Anyplace! Indeed, you can save a particular time for meditation and sit in calm examination for an hour or more in your contemplation room that you structured utilizing feng shui, however you don't need to. I realize that strategy absolutely isn't a choice in my life at this moment, yet I despite everything advantage incredibly from meditation.
You can reflect in the shower toward the beginning of the day, when you're in line at the market, for 20 minutes during your lunch break, for a couple of moments before bed, at whatever point - the alternatives are interminable.
Numerous contemplation advocates recommend fixing aside 10-20 minutes when you get up in the first part of the day and just before bed. Those are acceptable decisions in the event that they fit your timetable. Those occasions don't accommodate my calendar so I take 15 minutes during my day busy working to ponder and I slip in "smaller than usual meditation" during my time when I'm remaining in a line or holding up at a traffic light or whenever I feel strain working in my body.
Discover the hour of day that works for you for a more drawn out meditation, or slip in a little contemplation while you're hanging tight for something or strolling some place. Try not to deny yourself chances to ponder on the grounds that you figure you can't locate the ideal time or spot.
How
There are the same number of approaches to reflect as there are specialists to educate you concerning them. In the event that you are new to contemplation, one of the most significant things I need to let you know is that there are no guidelines with the exception of unwind! meditation isn't a vocation or a challenge. It is a way to tranquility, tenderness, graciousness, and unwinding.
A long time back when I originally thought about contemplation, I thought I needed to conquer the steady voice babbling endlessly in my mind, the tenacious considerations. What's more, think about what - I could once in a while stop the voice, so I thought I was a disappointment at contemplation more often than not. I went to a two-day quiet meditation retreat where an educator guided us in sitting contemplations and strolling contemplations. Before the second's over day, I at last encountered a calming of my psyche. I returned home inclination staggeringly cheerful and quiet. In any case, by the following day my questions about contemplation returned. In the event that it took me two entire days in quiet meditation to arrive at a point where my brain hushed up, how was I ever going to fit contemplation into my life?
I have since discovered that you don't need to quietness your considerations to ponder. You can essentially get mindful of the way that you are thinking and afterward let the musings coast away. You don't need to thump yourself over the way that you can't stop the considerations. Actually, it's better on the off chance that you acknowledge the way that your brain can be a bustling place and simply direct your concentration toward what you need to concentrate on again and again when your psyche begins to wander. Think about your brain as an energetic pup and tenderly lead it back to where you need it to be. In time with training, you'll see that it's simpler to relinquish the internal interruptions and carry your psyche to where you need it to be whether that is to inward quiet or to concentrate on a particular issue.
Likewise, except if you are on a particular otherworldly way, there is no particular way you need to sit or remain to think. Sit, stand, walk, lay on your stomach at the sea shore and watch the waves - whatever works for you is fine. Try not to confine yourself since you think you must be sitting a specific way - that is only a reason for not pondering.
Instructions to think will presumably rely upon your motivation. I change how I ruminate contingent upon what I need to pick up from the meditation. In case I'm focused on, I decide to concentrate on my breathing or on deliberately loosening up various pieces of my body. On the off chance that I have an objective I'm attempting to accomplish, I center around sending vitality to that objective. In the event that I need to associate with the inward harmony that I know is some place within me, I center around the quietness in my brain and attempt to let all idea skim away.
Here are a couple of various meditation systems that I use contingent upon the circumstance and what I expectation will be the outcome:
* Breathing contemplation: My favored breathing meditation is to put my consideration on my breath as it comes all through my nose. I delicately follow my breath there and notice how it moves normally into and out of my body. This is the spot (my nose) where I think that its simplest to keep my consideration. I discover this procedure immediately quieting. Others recommend deliberately seeing your breath as it goes from your chest down into your stomach or midsection and afterward back up. At the point when my consideration floats away from my breath, I delicately bring it back. On the off chance that I have a few considerations, I essentially note that I'm "thinking" and I move consideration back to the breath while permitting the musings to float away. I utilize breathing meditation to quiet myself, soothe pressure, feel more joyful and more settled, to clear my psyche, and to associate with the stillness of the Universe. This should be possible in a more drawn out contemplation meeting or in small scale meditation at whenever during your day. On the off chance that you end up getting incredibly angry with something, center for a second around your breath and you will discover it gives you a smidgen of room in your passionate disturbance.
* Visualization contemplation: If you have an issue that you feel needs your psychological and passionate consideration, a perception meditation can regularly help. Inhale gradually and utilize your creative mind. On the off chance that you have an objective you need to achieve, center around the objective as though it were at that point total - envision how you will feel when your objective is finished and feel this positive inclination within you. On the off chance that you have an individual who you are feeling furious toward, envision a constructive vitality within your body as a brilliant white light of generosity, and afterward encompass a picture of that individual with the light while intentionally saying "I excuse you for any agony you've caused me." (When you pardon somebody and discharge your indignation, it permits you to discharge pessimistic vitality put away within you, it permits you to respond all the more tranquilly to that individual, and it permits you to discover better answers for any extra issues with that individual. Pardoning permits you to discover harmony inside yourself.) I use representation contemplations for objectives, for improving connections, and for stimulating myself. In the event that I have an inclination that I have low vitality, I envision that white light of positive vitality moving through my body.
* Awareness contemplation: This is basically the way toward getting intentionally mindful of your activities, your body, or your environment. This is a simple method to decrease pressure, carry calm or stillness to your brain, and carry quiet comprehension to practically any circumstance. It should likewise be possible anyplace, whenever for a couple of moments or for any longer periods. The procedure is to just notification what's going on. I like to us
