Meditation : Living In The Moment - Braintenance - Douglas E. Castle

One of the keys to eliminating anxiety, depression and distraction is the meditative exercise of living in the moment. Doing this requires that you focus intently on all of the myriad sensations which you are experiencing in a single moment of conscious living.

This is a challenge for most individuals, who are more accustomed to ruminating over the past or anticipating the future. Even the most intelligent persons (and certainly all followers and dedicated practitioners of Braintenance) are preoccupied with thoughts which are "out of sync" with the living, full-sensory experience of the present moment.

While the meditative exercise of present-moment living will not, per se, increase your mental magnitude and specific sets of thinking and problem-solving brain skills, it will indirectly benefit your thought processing mechanisms by allowing your overly-conscious mind to take a brief vacation from excessive cerebration. The mind, as any other muscle, needs its rest.

Try to take just five to ten minutes daily to focus intently upon every feeling of your mind and body while conducting a simple rote task. Focus consciously upon the sight, smell, visual picture, physical feeling and other basic but ever-present (and too often ignored) "feelings" of your experience in that present moment. With true present-moment focus and practice, you will find that the constant background noise of your out-of-sync, past-related and future-anticipated thinking will dissipate.

Fans of Braintenance -- this daily meditation is absolutely worth the effort, as it can help to prevent mental fatigue and burnout, while eliminating negative stress. Now (he said paradoxically), stop thinking about doing it and just do it!

Thank you as always for reading me.

BRAINTENANCE: The Core Energy Meditation Technique 

Dear Fellow Cerebral Celebrants:

I receive a great many solicitations via email.

The one which follows contains (in addition to the customary long-style sales pitch) a relaxing and entertaining meditation exercise. Please do give it a try and tell me what you think. The company providing the "free sampler" is:

© Copyright. The Mind-Body Training Company - Proven Practices For Health, Happiness and Abundance - www.MindBodyTrainingCompany.com

 

 

Today I'm going to teach you a powerful technique that you can use to release any unwanted thought, feeling, or belief. I call it the Core Energy Technique. I’m sure you’ll find what I’m about to show you invaluable….. and something you'll want return to over and over again once you get the hang of it.

You can use this technique to release from any negative state and return to state of strong, clear and balanced vibration. For example, you can use it when you feel stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or any negative emotion. You can also use it when you feel stuck in a limiting mindset or belief like "I'm not worthy of success" or "It's impossible."

Anytime and anywhere you feel off-center is a great time to do The Core Energy Technique. It’s also a great way to connect with your inner guidance system so you feel connected to you really are and what’s truly important to you in your life.

Here is the link: http://www.energymeditationsecrets.com/core-energy-technique.html

I hope you've enjoyed this technique and found it to be useful. Also, perhaps it was just my imagination, but the announcer's voice reminded me a bit of Rudy Giuliani's.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

BRAINTENANCE: TM (Transcendental Meditation) Revisited.

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION REVISITED

Dear Thinkers:

I have done a fair amount of training in NLP, Hypnotherapy, positive visualization, brainwave entrainment, martial arts and numerous other self-growth modalities and techniques to improve my personal and professional life. In fact, they have been so powerfully helpful at enhancing my ability to be positively creative and productive, that I joined forces with Martial Arts Master Joseph Droual some years ago to create and refine the INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS System of learning and entrainment.

The one method which I have yet to dedicate myself to is Transcendental Meditation. I remember as being a sort of fad in the 1970s, but its long-standing adherents seem to been profoundly benefitted by it in terms of stress reduction, blood pressure reduction, increased perspective and focus, mental clarity, improved resting pulse rate, and re-energization. It is my intention to explore it. And while I do not offer medical or health advice, it might be worth looking into for your own benefit. An excerpted clip from a TM seminar announcement follows for your information. I hope that you find it edifying and enjoyable.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

One of the most valuable benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique is becoming more creative—becoming more innovative and adaptable in the midst of life’s pressures and challenges.

Award winning filmmaker David Lynch recently toured U.S. college campuses with world-renowned quantum physicist John Hagelin and brain researcher Fred Travis to present how the TM technique promotes extraordinary creativity and total brain functioning—higher states of consciousness.

You can view their compelling presentation at:

Better than watching their talks, however, is improving your own brain’s orderly functioning by practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique.
