Meditation to Achieve Your Goals - How to Use the Power of Your Subconscious to Create What You Want

By Katie Evans

Imagine you are walking along a path in an open forest. You notice the sky above you and the sun shining gently overhead. You feel safe and secure and you're just enjoying yourself. You begin to notice the life in this forest, the trees, bushes, grasses, flowers. You can smell the plants and trees. Perhaps you even reach out and touch a leaf or the bark of a tree. You feel alive and full of life. Just take a moment to be on your path and take in what is around you.

You walk along the path and up ahead, you notice that there is an obstacle blocking your path. And you really want to keep walking on this path. As you get closer the obstacle becomes clearer and you see that it is a wall and that the wall has a sign on it.

Take a minute to see sense or imagine this wall. How tall is it? How thick is it?

What color is it? What does it feel like? How does it make you feel?

You know that this obstacle is what is keeping you from attaining your goal. Perhaps the sign on the wall can tell you what the wall represents. Imagine what the sign says now.

You can dismantle that wall using any powers you can imagine. Begin to deconstruct the wall now until you can see past it. Beyond the wall you see yourself having achieved your goal. Take a moment to imagine life on the other side of this wall - What is the weather like? What do you imagine it is like over there?

You know you want to be on that side of the wall and that you have the tools you need to get there. You can continue to knock down this wall and you can return and continue this work at anytime, just by closing your eyes and imagining it. By doing this you are getting closer to the life that you truly want for your self. Take a few seconds just to feel, see or imagine that power rising with in you. Allow your self to feel that power and to feel good about it.

Repeat this exercise every day, spending just a few moments a day, until you achieve your goal.

Meditation: A Powerful Process To Achieve Prosperity

By Thomas Davey

Unfortunately Western culture all too often categorizes meditation as being something that "hippies do". The truth of the matter is that meditation is an incredibly powerful tool for you to employ on your path to wealth, health and happiness. When you study the lives of extremely successful people, you will find that no matter what their schedule, they put aside quiet time for themselves. Also of interest is that every author featured on The Secret uses meditation on a daily basis!

When you come to understand that there is but one stream of positive energy running through this world, you can then begin to understand the merit of meditation. See, when you quiet your mind, you in effect take your attention off of any negative things you don't want! Thus they are not being attracted into your experience! The Universe will then bring positive thoughts and experiences into your reality. Sounds simple but I assure you that this is fact!

I suggest you apply meditation in two key ways, starting today! Firstly, most of us will come across stressful events during our days. This is the perfect time to take a couple minutes and just close your eyes, get comfortable and just breath in and out deeply. Try to keep your mind "unfocused" so to speak, and if any thoughts pop into your head, try to set them aside. This may seem like a simple technique and it really is as simple as it sounds. You should make sure to find a comfortable meditation position, however do not get too comfortable or you may find yourself falling to sleep!

Often meditation is a much better way of dealing with a negative situation than trying to think positive thoughts right off the bat or attempting to tackle the issue head on. The reason that trying to think ‘positively’ immediately following a negative event does not work is simply due to the Law of Attraction. Negative experiences were attracted to you because of negative thought. And negative experiences attract negative thought! Simple! Meditation provides a simple solution to this unfortunate cycle. Abraham Hicks in the book, “Ask and It Is Given” made a wonderful point which was that it is much easier to focus on nothing than it is to focus on something positive following negative events.

The other way to incorporate meditation is to apply it as a daily ritualistic practice. I do suggest trying this! Aim to set aside a regular time each day to spend about 15 minutes in personal meditation. This practice may not be for everyone but I urge you to give both a try as I guarantee that you will see immediate benefit! Quite often answers to problems will just pop into your head after time spent in meditation. Meditation is really just an extension of what your parents told you when they said, “It’s alright, everything will be better in the morning.”

Meditation is often thought of as a new age type of practice, (as alluded to in the first paragraph of this article), however nothing could be further from the truth! Meditation has been practiced in Eastern cultures for an eternity and one only needs to apply these principles to see the immediate benefits meditation offers.

I hope you have enjoyed this article and don't forget to apply the process of meditation into your life. Start today!

Meditation - Top 7 Conditions To Get Healed With Mind Power

By Raymond Geok Seng Lee

During the two decades since the relaxation response first appeared, mediation has gone mainstream. Most people who practice it do so to reduce stress, anxiety, anger and other negative emotions. But increasingly, physicians prescribe meditation as part of the treatment for a large and growing number of medical conditions. Here are some of the conditions that mediation can help.

1. Panic Attacks

Sometimes anxiety becomes paralyzing and people feel that they are about to suffer some horrible fate. Panic attacks are often treated with drugs, but studies show that if people who are prone to panic attacks begin focused, meditative breathing the instant they feel the first signs of an episode, they are less likely to have a full-blown panic attack.

2. Pain Management

Anxiety decreases the threshold for pain, and pain causes anxiety. The result is a vicious cycle. Compared with people who feel relaxed, those under stress experience pain more intensely and become even more stressed, which aggravates their pain. Meditation breaks this cycle. Childbirth preparation classes routinely teach pregnant women deep breathing exercises to minimize the pain and anxiety of labor. Few call it breath meditation, but that is what it is. Meditation may not eliminate pain, but it helps people cope more effectively. In a recent study at the Mind/Body Medical Institute, after people with chronic pain learned the relaxation response, their pain-related physician visits decreased 36 percent.

3. High Blood Pressure

Transcendental meditation (TM) reliably reduced blood pressure in meditators. In a study, the relaxation response was taught to 36 people with moderately elevated blood pressure. After several weeks of practice, their average blood pressure declined significantly, reducing their risk of stroke and heart attack.

4. Cancer

Cancer is very scary. Meditation and other approaches to deep relaxation help center people so they can figure out how they would like to handle the illness and proceed with life.

5. Respiratory Crises

Asthma, emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) all restrict breathing and raise fears of suffocation, which in turn makes breathing even more difficult. Studies show that when people with these respiratory conditions learn breath meditation, they have fewer respiratory crises.

6. Depression

Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and isolation are hallmarks of depression - the nation's most prevalent mental health problem. Meditation increases self-confidence and feelings of connection to others. Studies have shown mood elevation in depressed people who regularly elicit the relaxation response.

7. Infertility

Couples dealing with infertility may become depressed, anxious and angry. To help them cope, relaxation response was taught to one group of infertile couples at the Mind/Body Institute. Compared with a similar group of infertile couples who did not learn deep relaxation, the meditators experienced less distress - and were more likely to get pregnant.
