| LESSON
1: MEDITATION.
During this course we will explore many aspects of psychic &
spiritual development, you will learn how to balance your chakras,
see auras, contact your spirit guides & more, however before
you can even begin to learn how to do any of those things you
must 1st know how to meditate. Meditation is the most powerful
tool available to us when it comes to spiritual & psychic
development. For this reason meditation is used extensively in
all kinds of psychic development courses. If you don't already
practice meditatitation on a regular basis or if you find it hard
to meditate for any length of time, then this lesson is probably
the most important lesson you will ever learn, because i will
not only teach you how to meditate properly & effectively,
but i will also intoduce you to a product that has helped many
people all over the world to achieve a deep meditation & can
make it much easier for you to meditate by greatly reducing the
amount of effort needed on your part. Its great for beginers or
anyone who has trouble meditating. What i'm talking about are
Binaural Beats, but i will go into more detail about them later
in the lesson.
What is Meditation.
During our day our minds are constantly active in the process
of thinking. There is a constant sensory input that comes from
living our lives. Whether we are watching television, reading
or even having a conversation. With everything that we do we are
constantly engaging in inner thought. We are so used to doing
this that we are not usually fully aware of all of the thought
activity that is going on. This constant churning of the mind
can make our thoughts clouded thereby making it harder for us
to concentrate or focus on just one single thing.
Meditation allows us to calm the mind and reduce the activity
and inner conversation that we have with ourselves. This helps
to clear the mind and allows us to become more focused. We experience
a sense of inner peace and relaxation, plus our minds will feel
refreshed.
Why Is Meditation Important.
Psychic development is all about self discovery, who you really
are & why you are here. Meditation is the ultimate revealer
of who you are because it helps you to discover an inner guidance
that will help you see where you need to go. The main reason for
meditation in psychic development is to make the mind as calm
and quiet as possible thus allowing us to better connect to the
spirit world and our higher self. The higher self is our existence
in the higher dimensions or the spirit world, otherwise known
as our soul, and is the source of our inner guidance.
We all have a connection to our soul but the strength of that
connection is weakened by the continual chatter of our conscious
thoughts. The connection becomes stronger when our conscious mind
closes down when we are asleep. This is why our dreams are important,
however it is often difficult to remember our dreams and even
when we do it can be difficult to understand the messages within
them.
When we meditate we can calm the mind and strengthen the connection
to the higher realms and become closer to spirit, but because
we are still awake we can remember and understand what we find
there. This makes meditation the most powerful tool in understanding
our self, our lives and the reasons why we are here and what we
need to learn. Through meditation we strengthen our intuition
and the knowledge of our higher self will come through.
Meditation Techniques.
Meditation involves concentrating on just one single thing. This
is to focus the attention of the mind and thus help prevent the
random thoughts and chatter that is usually going on. This one
thing may be something that is looked at, like a candle flame
or a picture, but more often it is something that is listened
too. This can include a single repetitive sound like our own breath
or repeating a mantra, to listening to relaxing music or the sound
of a voice on a guided meditation CD. By concentratng on one thing
you can reach a state of deep relaxation where the mind will become
open and lucid, you are just on the edge of falling asleep but
not quite dropping off. The object is to get as close to a sleeping
state as possible without actually falling asleep.
More specific results can be gained by listening to a guided
visualisation, where we use our imagination to visualise ourselves
in a particular place or situation according to what we hear.
This is usually followed by a period of silence which creates
a space where our higher self can come through and information
can be passed into our conscious mind. By using a combination
of Binaural Beats and visualisation instructions you can have
the best of both worlds by using Binaural Beats to easily enter
a meditation then following a set of simple visualisations that
you memorise before you begin, to achieve the specific results
that you are looking for, like contacting your spirit guides or
balancing your chakras. This is more advanced psychc development
work & i will teach you how to do this in later lessons.
In the excersise at the end of this lesson i'll teach you how
you can use a Binaural Beats recording to help you to enter a
meditation more easily and how to get the best results from a
Binaural Beats recording.
Best Way to Meditate.
For the best results you should set aside a particular spot that
will be used every time you meditate. It should be a quiet place
where there are no distractions.
You should be comfortable to a point where you able to be still
for a long time but not so comfortable that you are likely to
fall asleep. Many people find that the best way to do this is
to sit up straight on a chair.
If possible you should meditate before a meal rather than just
after eating.
Ideally the best time of day to meditate is early in the morning.
Although meditation is beneficial to us whatever time of day we
choose. It is said that early morning meditation is more effective
as our mind is still relatively quiet after sleep and before the
hustle and bustle of the day has begun. However it is much more
important that you have plenty of time in which to meditate. If
you are worried about how long you are spending and thinking about
where you need to be or what you need to get done then you will
not be able to relax properly.
Physiological Effects.
Meditation is a fantastic way to relax and unwind. This can benefit
the body by reducing stress as well as lowering blood pressure
and pulse rate. Also when you concentrate on a particular part
of the body it increases the blood flow to that part and the cells
receive more oxygen and other nutrients. Today, many of the film
stars and fashion models include meditation in their daily regimen.
Meditation can also reduce anxiety attacks, decrease muscle tension
& even help to build self confidence.
Binaural Beats & Meditation.
I have briefly talked about Binaural Beats earlier in this lesson,
but i will now fully explain exactly what they are and how they
can help you to meditate more effectively. In my experince i find
that i can achieve better results by using Binaural Beats with
visualisations, compared to guided meditations. There are lots
of different Binaural Beats recordings on the market that can
help with all aspects of Psychic Development. In later lessons
i'll teach you how to use specific recordings for various uses
from balancing your Chakras to contacting your Spirit Guides and
more, but at the end of ths lesson I'll teach you how you can
use a recording to reach a state of deep relaxation that is conducive
to Psychic Development work.
Binaural Beats are Not a "New Age" Fad. Binaural Beats
have been researched for almost 170 years. The human brain goes
through many frequency cycles during each day. Different frequencies
produce different effects to the human consciousness. Using this
information, it has been discovered that the brains operating
frequency can be altered by sound waves. Many of the most powerful
brain frequencies are under 20 Hz. Since the ear itself does not
respond to frequencies below 20 Hz, Binaural Beat Technology came
about which uses the inner wiring of the brain to produce the
frequency with perfect accuracy. This is a great way to achieve
altered states of consciousness that are perfect for meditation.
Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies
in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to
a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and
207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference
between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly
7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being lowered and
tuned to the desired 7 Hz operating stage. The acton of tuning
your brain to a lower frequency will have the effect of altering
your states of consciousness and so send you into a state of deep
meditation. You can even train your brain to the same frequency
that is produced when you are in the dreem stage of being asleep,
which can induce a dreem like state during meditation.
I have reasearched some of the most popular sources for Binaural
Beats so that i can reccomend the best quality binural beats at
a very good price. The store that i reccomend not only provide
Binaural Beats but they also have a range of Isochronic Tones
recordings. Isochronic Tones are the latest improvement to the
technology and it is said that they can take effect even more
quickly than standard Binaural Beats. I use both Binural Beats
& Isochronic Tones my self and i feel they are a fantastic
aid to further spiritual development. Below is an excersis which
will help you to get the most out of a Binaural Beats or Isochronic
Tones recording with a link to the best recording to go with the
exercise.
Binaural Beats Meditation Exercise
1, First you need to download the Binaural Beats
recording for this exercise. To do this click on the link below
wth the orange icon, this will take you to a page where you can
buy a selection of recordings designed for relaxation & meditation.
You will then see the various options available. I find the Theta
Music & Bells Meditation works well for me. There is the option
to buy either the Binaural Beats version or the Isochronic Tones
version. Most people find that the Isochronic Tones work slightly
faster than the Binaural Beats.
2, Find a quiet, comfortable place where you
won't be disturbed. Make sure you have plenty of time, because
if you know you should be somewhere else or doing something else,
it will affect your ability to relax. I would recommend that you
use a comfortable seat but try to avoid lying down as there is
a higher likely hood that you may fall asleep.
3, Before you start the meditation, you should
ground yourself as well as protect yourself. You should do this
before doing any kind of meditation or psychic work. To ground
yourself imagine a chord coming out of the soles of your feet
and into the earth. Then for protection imagine you are surrounded
by a bubble of white light.
4, Use headphones or earphones. Binaural Beats
work by playing a different frequency into each ear, so you need
to use headphones or earphones for them to work properly. Isochronic
Tones are said to overcome this problem, however from my experience
even when i use isochronic tones I find the effects are far more
powerful when wearing headphones.
5, It is helpful to prepare your mind before
you begin. To do this you should think about the experience that
you want to have and then imagine yourself having that experience.
In this case the intention is to reach a state of complete relaxation
so imagine yourself being relaxed as you listen to the recording.
You can even try saying it to yourself a few times before you
start.
6, As you start to listen to the recording,
close your eyes then take a deep breath in & hold it for a
second or two, then let it out slowly. Do this three or four times
before breathing normally again.
7, Quiet your mind. Try to release all other
thoughts from your mind and concentrate totally on the sound of
the recording. Your mind will start to wonder from time to time,
when you notice this happening do not get angry but just gently
bring your concentration back to the recording. This is something
that becomes easier with practice.
8, Be patient. Experts say that it normally
takes around 8 minutes for a Binaural Beats recording to take
effect, but of course this will vary from person to person. I
find that the more I
I use Binaural Beats the faster i feel the effects, and the more
powerful they become. In later lessons we will explore some of
the more advanced meditations available with exercises to help
you achieve the best results and fulfilling experiences.
