A New Meditation for a New World
A New Way to Stay Calm in Our Crazy World
Little Children Do It Naturally
The Media Has Become Addictive.
We are being dangerously influenced by media sources with data and information that constantly bombard our mind with violent words and images. Our subconscious mind absorbs it all and feeds it back to us in the form of fear, because fear is nothing but thought in the form of memory.
The usual coping mechanisms of meditation, exercise, yoga, qigong, biofeedback, etc., can no longer sufficiently protect us from this onslaught, simply because we cannot use these techniques often enough and long enough to make a lasting difference. Their effects do not last long enough to be helpful, and the stress effects of the media onslaught are insidious and cumulative. What we need, and what we now have, is a way to naturally and automatically neutralize the sources of negative information and protect ourselves from damaging thought and the resulting fear.
Because fear is only thought in the form of memory, we can eliminate unnecessary thought and fear from our lives. There is a simple technique which, if used persistently long enough, can change the neuron pathways in our brain and substitute a natural, automatic response that keeps us calm and clear no matter what is happening around us. This relaxation response was discovered by Herbert Benson, M.D. more than thirty years ago while conducting an experiment at Harvard University. I used it effectively during a very difficult time in my life and then developed a technique, called Alpha Neuro Training™, to establish the relaxation response in the brain so that it works automatically. This permanently changes the neuro pathways from hyper-stimulated to relaxed. The simple stimulus-response mechanism associated with Alpha Training, when established in the brain through persistent use, will instantaneously bring back the alpha or meditative effect any time it is used. Eventually, this alpha state becomes the natural and primary state of our mind, and our brain automatically senses when we are unnecessarily stressed and automatically brings us back to a clear and balanced state of mind.
When we have achieved this permanent alpha or primary state, our mind is naturally balanced and operates efficiently and effectively. In that state, our creative, intuitive mind sees the big picture of our life easily, will keep us safe, and presents us with solutions to new situations as they arise. Our auxiliary, thinking mind then only kicks in when it is needed and is no longer free to fill our mind with unnecessary thoughts that create fear and damaging stress. It is under the control our our creative or primary mind.
The New Meditation is a Simple Way to Balance Our Brain
Such a state of mind is a reality that exists right now. I live in that clear, quiet, creative state most of my day and am not at all special. I have simply discovered that this can be accomplished and share it with you now. Stress doesn’t even know where I live anymore.
