For anyone who meditates, they know that it is a seriously life changing practice. The following is just a short list of the things that meditation can do for you: increase your life span, improve your health, reverse signs of ageing, boost brain function, increase performance, make you happier, bring you peace, give you greater insight and give you greater control of your life to achieve the success you want. Meditation reveals the truth of things and enables you to manifest the life you want.

It sounds to good to be true, but it is well known that all the great sages known through history used meditation to actualise their potential and reach the great heights that they did. What is also true is that we now live in an age where the secret power of meditation is no longer hidden from ordinary folks, and for anyone who seriously wants to step up their lives meditation is the way. Easy right? Well yes and no.

It is true that meditation is a discipline, and dedication to it brings tremendous rewards. But, like any discipline, meditation takes time to master. The mind is constantly busy with what I call mental noise. Without even realising it, it is running a constant stream of thoughts to our subconscious mind. The trouble with this is that, for most of us, the thoughts tend to be around stressors and negatives in our lives, and because the brain keeps running these thought without thinking about it, it literally becomes addicted to these thoughts, and in turn these thoughts create more stressors which in turn feeds these negative thought patterns again.

Its not that we want to think these things, they cause us pain, but our brains have become patterned to these thoughts and has no other ‘programme' to run - unless we give it one. Now trying to change our programming is very hard to say the least. This is where meditation comes in. Meditation will literally wipe out those programmes. In time, your mind will become tranquil, and with that tranquillity your life as you know it will change. You will become attuned to the ‘real' you. You will be on your way to actualising your greatest potential.

Now I know this may seem like a grand statement, but I promise you, it is true. Since meditating regularly, my life has literally opened up in everyway. I possess a calm I never thought I would have. This benefit alone is enough, but this is just the beginning of it. It is as if the doors of possibility have swung open right in front of me and life is presenting to me on a whole new level. I am realising I can have exactly what I want now.

I also realise that the idea of sitting quietly for an hour a day might seem impossible to some. For me it took quiet a long time to actually dedicate myself to it as a discipline. But since doing so, I have come across a new meditation technique that makes the benefits of meditation so much easier to achieve and it has to do with certain sound frequencies. Without getting too technical, the benefits of meditation are a result of the brain being conditioned into certain brain wave patterns. Using sound in the form of Binaural recordings or Isochronic Tones will cause your brain to function at certain brainwave frequencies, taking your brain into a deep level of meditation. This is called brain entrainment. There are many brain entrainment recordings available for download and the beauty of them is you can be doing other stuff while listening to them.

Being a little sceptical that the benefits of meditation could be achieved so easily simply by listening to some specific sounds, I decided to try these brain entrainment recordings and can say that they have taken my meditation to a new level. That is not to say I do not meditate on my own anymore, or would give it up, meditation has become such a wonderful part of my day that I look forward too and would miss it. However for someone who is new to meditation and would like an easy introduction, binaural recordings and isochronic tones are an excellent way to begin and will benefit the listener enormously.

About Me

C.G.FlynnI have spent many years in the study of personal development. Diagnosed with leaukemia 11 years ago, I used the power of meditation, autosuggestion and visualization to heal myself. I knew I could do this because I realised it was the way I was using my mind in the first place that made me ill. For four years prior to the illness I had been performing in a piece about 'blood going bad'. I literally focussed my brain on that negative suggestion - not realising that I was manifesting it in my body. This was a right of passage that taught me about the importance of focussing my mind on what I wanted, not on what I did not want. Since then I have dedicated my life to understanding the power of the mind and how to develop and harness that power to positive effect. Our mind is the most precious resource for creating the life we want and whatever way we work it - works!
