Meditation used to be something that was especially painful for me. Sitting somewhat uncomfortably on my bedroom floor, Indian-style with my hands loosely laying on my knees, my back straight and my eyes closed, I was determined to meditate and discover what all the fuss was about. But for some reason, I could never get my mind to shut up. “What’s that smell,” I wondered. “I’m hungry. My nose itches. I should put some laundry in. What’s for dinner tonight? Maybe that salmon I bought on Monday. Oh wait, it’s probably bad by now. I have a million other things to do. Why do I have to just sit here?” And on and on it went. I would open my eyes an...

I felt incredibly relaxed afterwards, and experienced freedom from my thoughts in a real way for the very first time. I thought, ‘Wow, I’m really on to something here.’ Of course, I had no idea what was in store yet, or how true my statement really was! As I got more and more into meditation, I started receiving insights and connecting with an energy that I wasn’t familiar with. These strange insights appeared to come out of nowhere, and though I couldn’t identify their source, they just felt so very right. It was so strange that I had to explore it farther. I decided to see if I could ask this source questions about my life. I remember forming a question about my website regarding how to increase traffic. I went o...

That may be true in the past, but today, meditation is practiced by people from all walks of life. Men and women, spiritual or otherwise, are learning meditation to improve their responses to life’s challenges. And believe it or not, meditation can even help you to improve your business! Meditation as a business tool? Let me explain. The ever changing landscape of business often leaves many of us shocked, confused or disillusioned. Responding out of these non-productive states of mind usually result in mindless reactions that not only fail to meet long-term business goals, but may even jeopardize the lif...

I’m not even a very enthusiastic meditator. I’ve averaged about 20 minutes once a week for the past couple of years, and any serious meditator will tell you that’s not enough to really benefit you. Except it seems like it is, because I’ve noticed some benefits that I can’t attribute to anything else. I’m sure I’d get far more benefit if I meditated more regularly (I’m experimenting quietly with doing that). But here’s what I’ve gained even from a rather hit-and-miss practice. Well-known benefits of meditation Everyone who knows much about meditation knows that it helps to decrease negative thoughts and increase positive ones. It trains you to pay attention.

Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons, making it much more difficult for us to remain patient. Once you lose your patience, things tend to go badly. It becomes harder to concentrate, and it becomes harder to be polite and civil to other people. If you are working on a project of some kind, and you lose your patience, you will often find that you must leave your work until you have regained your composure. Learning to be patient takes time, and somewhat paradoxically, it takes patience to learn to be patient. Patience is acquired as you acquire wisdom, and wisdom is the child of experience. No...

Do you have a better relationship with your technology than you do with yourself? Does your pulse race with every looming to-do item in your face? If you’re like me, you have become addicted to overdrive, struggling to maintain the quiet space in your life, running from it, believing you have too much to do to just “be.” #1 What Does Downtime Mean To You? Do you consider going to the gym your downtime?  The answer is NO if you’ve tied it to any outcome, even positive ones, such as staying healthy, fit, or losing weight.

Meditation heals. And we all know that. But the problem arises when we realize we must meditate but don’t have time enough for that. Get up at seven, quick bath, get ready, breakfast, run for job, return late, parties with friends – everything tires us, and by the end of the day we’re too tired to concentrate on anything. We know meditation will help us relax more, but we don’t have time for that. This meditation technique is a very simple and easy technique and is subtly a part of almost all types of traditional and ‘commercial’ meditation systems like ‘Art of Living’ and ‘Transcendental Meditation’. You just need to separate twenty minutes from your daily schedule – at a fixed time every day. These twenty minutes must be ‘reserved’ for meditati...

You run the same scenarios through over and over, as if practicing them would make them turn out right. Sometimes they’re in the past, sometimes in the future, but in either case – worrying about them isn’t going to fix anything. It’s just going to keep your thoughts in a groove they can’t get out of, upset you, keep you awake at night, and limit your creative response to the situation. So what can you do? Here’s a simple technique for calming your racing thoughts down. It’s as easy as watching a movie (and much cheaper). 1. Imagine, first of all, that you’re in a movie theatre. Smell the pop...

Do you remember summers as a child? What happened to those carefree days? Seems like we’re all rushing around in a hurry and getting swept up in the hustle and bustle of day to day living. Even when we know what’s good for us, we still get wrapped up in doing versus having fun. I hold those summery memories like picking passion fruit, catching crayfish, and swimming with my cousins, close to me. And wonder why I don’t do more of it. I’m reminded of my first year as a graduate student. I took a course on stress management and was blissfully happy when I learned the entire quarter would be about relaxing and med...

Ask for help from an expert There are times when you need to go to the next level to resolve the problems. If your thoughts are resulting in serious anxiety and you can’t function normally, you may need to talk to a medical professional to help you deal with your problems. Or perhaps you have business problems that require the help of a consultant or specialist.

I excerpted his 9 Kinds of Hopelessness and How You Can Overcome Them awhile back, and now I wanted to focus on what you can do to find and sustain hope. Dr. Scioli is professor of Clinical Psychology at Keene State College and a member of the graduate faculty at the University of Rhode Island. Question: What is the biggest thread to hope? Anthony: If I had to pick one resource it would be surrounding oneself with good “hope providers”. I view hope in terms of four dimensions: mastery or goal strivings, attachments, survival or coping skills, and spirituality. Good relationships can serve as catalyst for the development of all four of these resources. We need a powerful presenc...

Being spanked as a child is linked to having a lower IQ, according to a study presented today at the International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma in San Diego. The relationship between spanking and intelligence is found in children around the world, said the lead author of the study, University of New Hampshire professor Murray Straus. Children in the United States who were spanked had lower IQs -- by 2.8 to 5 points -- than those who were not spanked, Straus found. Straus studied 806 children ages 2 to 4 and 704 ages 5 to 9. Both groups were retested four years later. How often parents spanked influenced IQ score. "The more spanking, the slower the development of the child's mental ability," Straus said in a news relea...

Tell me what order you are in the family and what that means to you. Were you the youngest, the baby, who was taken care of, protected (perhaps spoiled) and not left to make your own decisions? Were you the oldest, who had all the pressure and demands placed on you to “set an example?” Or were you a middle, or lost child, who kind of fell through the cracks? You weren’t really special on either end of the spectrum, were you? You may have even been the peacemaker as the middle child, trying to maintain the calm in a family that was otherwise a little chaotic. Some experts believe that birth order is an important tool in shaping how you turn out as an adult. It determines how you see the world, how you expect the world to treat you, and how you treat others. If you are the baby,...

I always thought there was some secret to it involving Far Eastern chants and pretzel poses. I actually fell into a method of meditation that worked for me and now describe it as a place in your mind to retreat to for peace and calm. It started by realizing that I needed to get away but didn’t have the means or resources to do that.   So I took a few moments one morning to imagine a place that would provide complete calm away from my world. See, it doesn’t sound eerie or bizarre in any way! The place that came to me was a room overlooking the ocean with two balcony doors wide open to the outside with gauze curtain panels blowing in the breeze.  The best part about my envisioned room was that the only furniture in the roo...

A plague of locusts? Once again the media pounces and every five minutes we are hounded by how we shouldn’t panic.
