Meditation
My first encounter with meditation was at the age of 11, although from an early age I was a compulsive daydreamer so in a way had been practicing my own form of meditation all my life! But I properly became aware of meditation when I used to rush home from school to see a programme called "Richard Hittleman's Yoga For Health". I would quickly change into my leotard and get down on the floor in front of the TV to practice the Hatha Yoga "asanas" or poses. I loved the feeling of stretching my body as far as it would go and would often also practice outside in the garden.
The TV show also introduced the ideas of conscious breathing and meditation. In my practice I found that I could slow down my pulse rate through conscious breathing and then through pure intent. This started a life-long fascination with the power of the mind.
Later on my meditation was mainly guided using tapes and CD's that I purchased. Then I joined a number of groups that incorporated meditation into their practice, including a local Sai Baba group, the White Eagel Lodge and several Buddhist groups. But the one that was most influential was when I leant Raja Yoga meditation with the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. This was at a time in my life when I had a strong need to connect to my source and I felt a deep sense of wellbeing and peace from my time with this group.
These days my meditation seems to take the form of connecting with nature, which engenders in me a sense of reverence for life and a oneness with all that is. I am also discovering the powerful effect of binaural beats, that can entrain the brain into a very deep meditative state in a very short time, to a level that would normally take many years of practice. The Holosync programme by the Centerpointe Institute has been shown to improve emotional health, reduce stress levels and increase brain power. They offer a free CD which is a great introduction and you can get your copy by clicking on the Centerpointe banner logo above.
