There are several methods of deep meditation . Here’s the one that always has worked well to start a new spiritual journey:

1. Set aside time in a quiet place, where you will not be disturbed. Place your journal and a pen/pencil close at hand. When you first begin meditating, you may prefer a dimly lit room, using a candle to maintain focus. Some people picture a bright star in their minds, but this is a bit more difficult to hold constant.

2. You may wish to add music to “jump start” your meditation in order to increase your connection to the universe and control your thoughts. With practice, train your mind to continue meditating at the higher level, after the music stops. You even may prefer to use one piece of music (with or without words) that immediately connects you to the universe at the level of your soul and spirit. You’ll know if this happens, because it will bring tears to your eyes and a swelling in your chest; yet once you connect to your source, you are awash with a feeling of happiness and peace like you’ve never before felt.

3. Set comfortably but staying alert in a comfortable chair or on a pillow on the floor.  You may lie in bed in the morning after waking or at night before sleeping; but it’s very easy to fall asleep.

4. Focus on the candle flame, empty your mind, and still your body. At first, you will find your mind taking control and wondering all over the place. This is normal. When you realize that your mind is wondering out of control, just refocus on the candle flame and empty your mind again.  It takes practice over time to be able to keep your mind blank for any length of time. Focus until lose awareness of your physical body.

5. Once you are able to focus, there are a few choices of what to do next:

a. Be still and let God. Just allow the universe to merge with you, letting you feel its presence. You may do an entire meditation like this, if you wish.

b. Use a mantra, especially helpful at first. It keeps your attention on your source, controlling your wandering thoughts.  Some individuals and religions believe a mantra connects with evil or pagan spirits, but this is not true.

c. Conversing with the universe within your mind is another choice. Don’t ask for things or pass along information at this point. The universe already knows what you needs and desires are and that of everyone else in the world. This is the time for you to hand over your problems and concerns to the universe, then make an affirmation statement. For example:

Problem:  “I am concerned about meeting my financial responsibilities”.

Affirmation:  “I know my needs are already provided by you, and I am not concerned.” 

d. Then, be still in the silence and listen for the response. As to the type of response you receive, this will depend upon your proficiency in meditation. You may hear a voice (thoughts that aren’t your own) in your mind that speaks to you, or you may see pictures/video (visions) in your mind.

Once you have this first awareness that the universe is responding to you, you’ll begin to get many more pictures (visions). So, pay attention to what you “see” within your mind during your meditation. Sometimes, the visions move so fast and there are so many that you can’t remember them all after the meditation, but let them flow. Once you begin trying to remember, you engage your brain and the visions stop. Just pay close attention to what you “see”.

e. Be sure to thank your source, not only for this time/response but also for all it provides to you. After completing the meditation is over, immediately record any experiences you had in your journal. Don’t worry if you feel that you didn’t have a “good” meditation — there is no such thing as a bad one. Something is accomplished at all meditations, whether you are aware of it or not. Just keep at it and observe all the mental pictures and “chatter”; then, record everything you remember in your journal. Eventually, you’ll see responses and/or patterns emerge. This is the start of your spiritual awakening.

Keep your experiences to yourself, especially in the beginning. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to explain and defend ideas and insights you were given. Then, the ego has entered and manifesting (the universe-driven process) stops.

When you are in search of wisdom, it is reasonable to read books, watch videos, try to find gurus to follow, put a lot of emphasis on learning more to add to your satisfaction and reduce any suffering. We look everywhere for the answer to self help questions like the meaning and purpose of our life and how to be happy. This is normal and natural.

There is, however, some words of wisdom that you might want to consider. There is no Answer to Life!

We run around trying to find the answer to life. We believe that if we can just find the answer, we’ll be happy and full and complete. We’ll be rich and successful and loved. Let’s say we find an answer, like Buddha’s “grasping is the cause of all suffering.” Then we work hard to kill desire within ourselves.

It is then human nature to make detachment and non-grasping the key to all life’s problems.  Self Help does not work in that way. They are not the whole answer to life. There are just partial answers.

You can spend years of your life trying to kill off desire within yourself, and all the time you are full of the Desire to kill off desire. After several months or years of this, you figure it out and go Oh well, I guess killing off desire and attachment is not the answer, not the smart thing to do, so Ill look for another answer.

In the same way, people on the search for self knowledge make love the answer, or compassion, or knowledge, or holiness the answer. Then they work extremely hard trying to be holier or wiser or more loving. Only to find after several months or years that it isn’t working. Trying to be more of anything is not the answer!

Here’s the short of it. Any solution you find to make your life better can only be limited. It can not be the complete answer. Loving may be an appropriate solution for you, for a while. So sure, work on being more loving. Don’t try to make love the answer to life. Do not burden love with your hopes and needs to feel better about yourself.

Understand that any answers you find to living a successful and happy life will only be limited and temporary. What you can do that is powerful is begin to let go of needing an Answer. Get more comfortable not having answers. Live more into the question. Obviously, this is a complex subject, but just this can be an excellent start.

Creating what you desire in business

Most people dream of brilliant results in business, however a lot of people seem to be happy with having a genuinely ordinary life.

How come people will dream of an good big picture, but be prepared to settle for a thing genuinely so-so?

It all comes down to our deep internal values. Our values might either prompt us to achieve the   something we desire in life, or will indeed stop us from achieving our vision.

Values are those   somethings that are most of import to us – the things that we are prepared to invest our time , energy and resources into either creating or getting away from .

We don’t do anything which is not important to us!

You can say ‘how is that true – I seem to spend much of time doing the thingies that don’t completely seem that important to me – like cleaning up the mess in the house!

However in reality that is things that must be totally important to you at a deep level, otherwise you wouldn’t end up doing it!

The problem with values is that they are largely subconscious and that the   something we regard we desire are often different from our real values. This may often cause problems.

For example, you can say ‘what I absolutely desire is a new BMW’ thinking that a new car will make you happy.

However in reality, it is not the new car that you long for, it’s what you think having a new car will do for you. For example it can be things such as you muse upon it will make you happy, or successful or give you some sort of security.

That is often the problem – oft the   something we muse upon we desire will be different from what the unconscious value linked to it really is.

You may think that getting a new BMW may make you happy, however in reality would it absolutely?

Maybe not!

It’s often the case that a new car can cause more problems – you might spend a great deal of time worrying about it getting scratched, or have to spend a great deal more money on excellent indemnity.

When we have an outcome which is powerfully linked to fulfilling our values, we might completely go for it!

So how can you set out your values and visions to get brilliant results?

Here are some steps to help you create brilliant results in your life:

1 Set a truly clear and specific outcome – know what you long for and totally make sure you know specifically you know what you want

2 Ask yourself this actually important questions – why is it so important that you have this vision? What could it do for you when you have it. This question may make all the difference between so-so results and good results – this is all about your deep values

3 Take action – absolutely go for it – it is very the case that you can only have an brilliant life when you absolutely go for it!

So live these secrets we often learn in NLP to create an amazing life. NLP training is a brilliant way to do this. To overcome fears in taking action seeing a hypnotherapist in London may give you the edge

There is so much negativity in the world today, the news and TV are full of it it is no surprise that many people have experienced setbacks like financial issues, troubles with well-being and relationships, and an universal disarray about what way life is heading. The strain of looking after yourself and your family can be over-bearing for so many of us in today’s unsettling times. Lucky for us however, there is help available that can put matters into perspective and will guide you towards the steps to take to live a life of abundance.

Abundance isn’t necessarily just a financial way to live though. To experience this way of life, you will need to totally change your way of thinking. Even though the steps are easy, they require dedication. Crucially you will need to learn how to deal what life gives you in a different manner. Only then will you experience the rewards of your effort. Before Long the fears and burdens that occupy your daily life will disappear.

The only limitation you will find in obtaining a life of abundance is whatever your very own mind does to keep you behind. The solution to get beyond this is to totally open yourself up to another manner of thinking and change. You will have to learn to let go of the limitations you created for yourself and open your life to abundance.

An excess of negative emotions can stop change from taking place. This is something we all know, yet so many of us are afraid to take the action needed to stop them. As a result this causes a domino effect of negative things taking place, which is why when one thing goes wrong, other things begin to go wrong as well. Negative feelings keep your problems confined in a negative cycle and your life becomes unfullfiling and you continue to be unhappy. Of course you blame life and hard circumstance, but really it’s because of the negative emotions you are keeping suppressed, these just attract more negativity. The only way is to let go of these negative feelings.

Deep inside of us everyone has the ability to change and reverse these negative feelings. Letting go of negative emotions will cause a change of energy and will allow you to attract more happiness and abundance into your life. By letting go of these negative feelings, you have created space for happiness and joy to come into your life. You will finally have the power to turn your life about and start living with abundance. The peace of mind you have so long searched for will finally sweep over you and your life will start to change more than you ever imagined.

The abundance course also know as the release technique will in effect reveal to you how to make this dream happen. Finally hindering thoughts can be let go of in just seconds and your life will start to change dramatically.

In layman’s terms, telepathy is simply the transfer of thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions between one person and another, using only the power of their minds.

The ability to communicate telepathically is something all humans possess to some degree, but unfortunately, they have lost the means by which to control it on a conscious level. We have all experienced telepathic activity subconsciously on occasions but just imagine being able to control that ability, and being able to use it to communicate with others.

Of course, one can almost understand why there is still so much skepticism concerning the use of mine power. However, one should also take the following into consideration: have you ever bumped into someone who is depressed and down in the dumps, while you on the other hand were in the greatest mood ever? If you have, then you will know it certainly didn’t take long before that person’s mood started rubbing off on you.

What I’m trying to say is; it’s not necessarily the words which someone says to you, but instead it’s the transference of their feelings and emotions to your subconscious mind, and this in itself is a form of telepathy.

In recent scientific studies, it’s been determined that if someone accesses their subconscious mind and then learns to direct their thoughts and feelings towards another specific individual, dormant telepathic abilities can be brought back to life.

As with our regular form of communication, we are taught as children by our parents and teachers. Not only do our elders teach us the art of speech, but they also teach us body language. In fact, so effective is this method of teaching that we even learn to speak using the same accents. Unfortunately, we only learn to communicate in the ways which we are taught.

The problem is; our parents and teachers failed to teach us anything about that other ability known as telepathy. Surely we can’t be denied the chance of mastering that skill simply because we were never taught it as children.

Let’s take a quick look at some things you may wish to try in order to awaken your dormant ability:

Developing Your Mental Muscle

Just as children need to strengthen their voice boxes, and just as they need to learn how to control their mouths, so too do we need to learn how to strengthen and control our telepathic abilities.

Interestingly enough, the part of the brain that controls telepathy, exercises most of its influence on the subconscious level, when you’re in a trancelike state of mind. Essentially, this state of mind is simply a state of deep relaxation which all human beings are able to reach.

You can be rest assured that if you learn how to relax your mind, you will be able to reach a trancelike state of mind without any difficulty at all.

The Importance of Being Able To Focus

Of course, being able to focus is of paramount importance, but unfortunately when you’re in a hypnotic state, being able to remain focused is not always easy. In fact it can be rather difficult so next time you reach a state of deep relaxation; you should try to focus on someone you’d like to make contact with.

You need to picture this person in your mind together with happy thoughts. You then need to imagine this person actually receiving all those thoughts and feelings you’re trying to transfer across. The length of time that you need to remain focused will depend on how long you feel it takes to make a connection.

Now you need to interrupt your focus in order to sever any contact with the other person. They should in turn feel that the contact has been broken and that communication has been lost, and as a result, they should then try and re-establish a connection from their side.

The reason why one should practice focusing on your own is so that when you start practicing with a partner, you will have already conditioned your mind to be receptive and as such, it will be easier to receive images, feelings, thoughts, and impressions.

When You Practice With a Partner

Once you and your partner get ready for a training session, you’ll need to decide which one of you will be the sender and which one of you will be the receiver. Of course, it will help if the sender chooses to project images of simple items which are brightly colored and for the most part easy to recognize.

The person who is the receiver should ensure they have a notebook and a pen nearby so that they can keep a record of all thoughts and impressions which they receive.

When the session is over then both the sender and the receiver should spend some time together comparing each other’s notes in order to establish how accurate they were during the training session. Of course it only stands to reason that the more telepathy practice you do, the more accurate you will become.

Do you suffer from occasional depression?
Do you suffer from ‘more than occasional’ depression?
Do you consider yourself your personal worst enemy?
Do you live your existence with doubt, always trying to live up to the criteria others set for you?

If you responded yes to any of above queries, you will be interested in the following depression self help information.

Depression (or prolonged sadness) is a diagnosis that has become very common within the United States.  It has been mentioned that more than 9 % of the United states population really is affected with this illness. The unfortunate reality is  very few of them will actually look for treatment. As a result, depression and its ill-effects are a continuous burden to these poor ill-fated people. Depression may seem very simple to treat but in reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression.

A visit to an expert therapist is a good idea to get access to the prescription medicines that the doctor will recommend. Of course, neither the doctor’s visit nor the meds come cheap, but the quantity of depression-caused suffering is sufficient reason to take action. It is beneficial to face depression head on through the various remedies which are available today.

On the other hand, you will find less expensive steps that a patient can take.  We can all avail ourselves of self help treatments that fit well into any depression therapy program. To that end, I have listed seven steps that all depression patients should follow:

Depression self help step #1:  Individuals can only get the best of you with your authorization.
Do not give it to them.  When you allow someone get the best of you than you are really letting them win. In life we are confronted with the delight of living life or the pain and frustration of not living life to its fullest.

Depression self help action #2: Remember that you are who you are only because of you.
Other people’s perceptions of you ought to be ignored.  At the end of the existence the only important question will be: “Did you live your life as you saw fit?”

Depression self help step #3:  Decide what is important to you.
Do you know who you are? Are you pleased with your self as you are?  These two questions should be answered for you to help make any progress.

Depression self help step #4:  Remember that you are in charge of your destiny.
Replicate this on a regular basis: ‘I am in charge of my future, and it’s up to me and only me to live my life’. It is important to set practical targets for your self, and do your best to fulfill them.

Depression self help step #5: Do not turn out to be your own worst enemy.
Occasionally it’s just a matter of putting yourself first. If you are able to love somebody else, why can’t you love your self? You need to understand that you are a good person, and worthy of being loved

Depression self help step #6: In no way lose sight of who you are, and what you stand for.
If somebody disses you simply because you don’t meet their standards,it is not your issue; it is theirs. Life can be packed with discontentment if we live every day attempting to get the approval of others.

Depression self help action #7: Stay true to your self and your values.
Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself even when it feels unpleasant, and in no way let anyone determine who you ought to be.  Believe in yourself, because the one person you are able to rely on is you.

Conclusion:

In order to effectively fight despression symptoms, you ought to maintain your emphasis on the above steps.  Having successfully done so, you will ultimately discover your depression symptoms lessening.  And eventually, you will be back to living a normal lifestyle. You will be able to look in the mirror at the end of every day and see your best friend!

Nearly nine months ago I had lunch with a thirty-two-year-old male named Alexander who experiences severe depression, has relationship issues, and who is dependent on drugs and alcohol. As articulated by Alexander, it is his drug and alcohol dependency and his intense depression that had the most to do with his continual relationship issues.

I recall hearing that a history of mental health issues, chemical dependency, and hazardous and excessive drinking commonly happen in the same family. Additionally, I remember reading that in such situations, a person needs to get counseling for both medical conditions and that chemical dependency and mental health problems frequently take place in the same individual.

As explained by Alexander, he is so crushed by his relationship difficulties and by both of his medical conditions that he, for all intents and purposes, has no energy to do much of anything. What is especially sad about this is that earlier in his life, Alexander finished four semesters of graduate school in European history.

Alexander’s situation makes me wonder if he is an example of an individual who can look within and see his drug abuse and alcohol drinking problems and do something healthy about these difficulties or if he is a person who has to hit the bottom of the barrel before he gets drug and alcohol rehab that results in long-term recovery.

The Need For a Rehabilitation Regimen He Can Believe In and a Therapist He Can Trust

If it would be beneficial I would expect that I could advise him about quite a lot of blogs and websites that could possibly help him locate info about drug abuse symptoms, the stages of alcoholism, substance abuse information, and relationship issues. In my humble opinion, however, Alexander needs to locate a treatment regimen he can believe in and follow through over the long term and locate a therapist he can trust.

I could be in the wrong but it seems to make sense that Alexander probably needs to look honestly at his life regarding his drug addiction signs and alcoholic symptoms and recognize the fact that he cannot use drugs or even drink in moderation if he wants to get sober, stay sober, and start on the road to long-term sobriety.

It may be asked how treatment would help his alcohol and drug dependency. For starters, there are some recently discovered physician-prescribed meds that can help Alexander avoid an alcohol or a drug relapse, help him through the alcohol and drug detox process, and help him through his withdrawal symptoms.

Second, Alexander would learn to understand the fact that there is entirely nothing helpful about chemical dependency and careless and excessive drinking and that engaging in one or both conditions is the road to deteriorating health, financial difficulties, poor work and school performance, shattered relationships, legal problems, and a premature death.

Third, counseling for his depression and for his relationship difficulties might help him manage these medical problems more successfully and help create less of a need for him to engage in addictive behavior.

The Importance of Support Groups Like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous

There are realistically a lot of family members, friends, and other people who would offer to help Alexander with his drug abuse and his hazardous drinking. He probably would experience greater acceptance from a support group such as Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous, then again, instead of getting guidance from individuals who rarely drink or who have never used drugs.

When Individuals Accomplish Things They Love and About Which They Are Dedicated

There’s a school of thought in life that declares that individuals who do things they love and something about which they are passionate arrive at a fantastic place in life. Stated more accurately, when people do what they love, they hardly ever experience an uneventful life or boredom. If they involve themselves in something that is fulfilling, moreover, they become more fulfilled and experience more happiness and joy in life and in their relationships.

When this is thought about for a few minutes it becomes obvious that this affirmative frame of mind is diametrically opposed to a life that is grounded in alcohol and drug addiction because such a lifestyle removes the satisfaction and delight that life has to offer.

Because Alexander doesn’t have the fortitude to accomplish much of anything in his life, it is obvious that he urgently needs a little hope for a more fulfilling lifestyle. And the unfortunate thing is that hope is virtually everywhere around Alexander if he could only get to the point in life to get the therapy he needs for his extreme depression and alcohol dependency and drug addiction and remain in his treatment program.

More Positive Relationships, Affirmative Change, Self Esteem, and a Wonderful Life Are Possibilities

Alexander is clearly too young to be dejected in life. He doesn’t comprehend this at this time in his life but if he can learn how to refrain from drugs and alcohol through alcohol and drug rehab and get the treatment he requires for his extreme depression, he can turn his life around and start living with passion, self-respect, and direction.

More positive relationships, constructive change, self esteem, and a wonderful life are certainly possibilities for Alexander if only he could become motivated to seek the medical treatment he requires, follow through with his treatment regimen, live his life in a healthy and addiction-free way, and learn how to cultivate a more positive attitude about his life.

There is a purpose in everything that comes our way. All happenings in our life are interlinked. We must learn to turn our cloud inside out to see the silver lining. We must learn to treat failures and embarrassments as stepping stones to success and self-improvement.

These memories live at an unconscious level yet constantly threaten to “break through” into conscious awareness whenever they are triggered by something that resembles them in some way. They also generate negative or pessimistic thoughts about financial security or success that float through the mind in uncontrolled ways. Such thoughts create doubts about one’s future security, one’s ability to achieve success, feelings of helplessness, lower ones’ self confidence and self worth, kill one’s motivation to try and achieve anything substantial, lead to procrastination or to an inability to take any risks.

“When you see someone far superior to yourself, instead of indulging in self-pity, think of self-improvement. Think of acquiring inner beauty instead of only a good physique.”

“When you meet people feeling low and down, reach down to pull them up. Don’t slip down yourself in order to sympathize with them.”

“This whole world is a huge school where you learn from your mistakes and move on. A failure in a science quiz should never make you feel doomed and stupid. It’s not the end of the world. Always give scope for self-improvement.”

How many people’s lives are cut short due to destructive and hazardous drinking? How many junior high, high school, and college students lose their lives every year due to an alcohol overdose? How many people are the victims of alcohol related crime or violence each and every year? How many people face severe consequences in their lives because they received a “driving under the influence conviction? On an annual basis, how many alcoholics fail to get the professional alcohol treatment they need? How many individuals get injured or lose their lives in alcohol related traffic accidents every year? How many people lose their lives each year from a condition that is one hundred percent preventable, such as alcohol poisoning? How many individuals lose their lives every year because of drinking problems? How many children are born each year with fetal alcohol syndrome? How many individuals go through alcohol related time, anger, and stress management issues every year?

Why Would Anyone Want to Drink in an Excessive and Hazardous Manner?

So what’s the point in asking these questions? Basically to highlight the devastating and destructive nature of hazardous and abusive drinking. Indeed, and based on the above questions, I wonder why anyone would choose to drink in an abusive manner.

Stated more forcefully, with the host of employment problems, relationship issues, financial dilemmas, legal proceedings, and health difficulties that are correlated with chronic alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, why would any person with good reasoning skills want to drink in an abusive manner? In fact when some of the above topics are put under the microscope more closely, abusive and unhealthy drinking becomes more illogical and makes even less sense.

Wouldn’t you think that alcoholics would be able to see some of the alcohol symptoms that they exhibit? In a similar way doesn’t it seem feasible to think that many more families would involve themselves in an alcohol intervention for the individual in the household who is an alcoholic or an alcohol abuser? Not only this but wouldn’t you think that individuals who drink abusively would try to learn more about their drinking behavior by reading about various alcohol related statistics?

After reviewing the alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse research literature, the point is so critical that it needs to be repeated: With all of the destructive and debilitating effects that are directly or indirectly associated with continuous and repetitive alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, why would any individual want to engage in careless and hazardous drinking?

What Can be Done About the Extensive Nature of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in the U.S.?
