The Benefits Of Binaural Meditation
Dec 30th, 2009 by Dee Marie

Binaural meditation is rapidly growing in popularity. With today’s busy lifestyle, setting aside time for spiritual development and mediation grows increasingly difficult. The use of binaural sounds helps produce results more quickly and accurately.

The phenomena of binaural beats was uncovered long before people paid much attention to it. During the late 1970s, an article published in a prestigious popular science magazine spread new interest like a wildfire. Scientists and enthusiasts across the world devoted time and effort into studying and experimenting with the binaural effect.

Binaural beats are ideal for use in meditation. They naturally help the mind reach a meditative state in a short period of time. Different patterns and frequencies produce distinct results. This variety and flexibility allows the beats to be used for a wide variety of meditation methods and practices.

Lucid dreaming is a related use for binaural rhythms. Just as they can adjust the mind to enter a meditative state, they can bring about a mental state appropriate for awareness in dreams.

Binaural meditation and dreaming works through the effect that certain frequencies of light and sound have on the mind. Frequency is simple how fast the sound is vibrating. Higher frequencies indicate faster vibrations. The brain will begin to adjust its rhythms to match the speed of steadily repeating beats and flashes. This “brain rhythm” matches the activity and energy level of a person’s thoughts. High frequencies indicate a lot of active thinking, high stress, or even anxiety. Slower paced rhythms correlate with states of sleep and meditation.

There is a large market of binaural products available to the consumer. You should carefully review all products before making a purchase, as the quality can vary quite a lot from product to product. Software should be offered from reputable companies offering a range of related software. Online software reviews should indicate good results. Recordings you purchase should come with a programmed pattern, not simply a single beat. The accompanying sounds should also be suitable to the purpose. Relaxation programs should be accompanied by relaxing audio.

Learn Mind Over Matter – The Real Secrets
Dec 30th, 2009 by Dee Marie

Many people doubt the validity of claims that you can change your own circumstances easily. In fact, most people believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. Understanding what ‘mind over matter‘ is all about will change your outlook on life.

The truth is, everything can be put down to mind over matter. We all have the capacity to master our own mind power. You just need to know how to do it.

One of the ways you can develop using mind over matter is to practice turning all of your negative thoughts and beliefs into something positive. Take time to sit and think about what it means to control your life with your mind. Consider how everything in your life appears when you are happy. Think about a very content and peaceful time in your life. The bad things in life don’t seem as bad when a person is satisfied with the way things are going.

Another very simple way to begin using mind over matter is to start using affirmations. When you go to work and think silently to yourself, “I hate my job, my co-workers, and my boss”, all you are doing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you say ‘I have my job and I never have enough money’, your sub-conscious mind will begin to make sure these things come true for you. Your actions are dictated by your thoughts and your choices are influenced by your beliefs. So if you believe these negative thoughts, they will very quickly become your reality.

Now imagine what power you could have by changing your own thought processes and beliefs. Imagine saying to yourself regularly ‘I deserve a better job with much more money’. Say this to yourself firmly every time you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts. Your sub-conscious is listening and you will begin to reprogram it to accept these positive thoughts.

When your sub-conscious is aware of the positive reality you want, your choices will be influenced by more positive actions, which lead naturally to more positive outcomes.

A good way to begin putting the power of mind over matter to work for you is to repeat to yourself several times a day ‘I love my job, I’m losing weight easily and money comes easily to me’. At first, you will automatically disbelieve these things. You will be tempted to feel as though they aren’t true and they won’t happen, but you’ll be slowly programming your mind to accept choices that will result in more positive outcomes.

You will begin to see that everything in your life is mind over matter once you take a step back and think about your previous choices and decisions. Take for example a person who has been through a violent or abusive relationship. If those people have been told repeatedly they are fat or stupid or useless, eventually they’ll believe it. Their self-esteem will come crashing down.

This is because the sub-conscious mind becomes programmed by telling it what you want to believe over and over again. At first a person in such a negative relationship might think ‘I’m not those things’. The thought doesn’t feel right, but over time they begin to believe it and then they begin taking actions that reinforce that belief.

The mind can do amazing things. Scientists believe that humans use only 10% of their brain power. The remaining 90% is sitting latent in your skull, waiting for an opportunity to exert the power to create a life of abundance and joy.

You’ll be living a life full of abundance and joy once you’ve learned to master mind over matter techniques.
