Self Help Through Meditation

Self help through meditation may bring up an image of someone sitting in a lotus position, eyes closed and palms upright with thumbs and forefingers clenched, pointing upward, presumably contemplating spiritual enlightenment, from seemingly odd ritualistic behavior and unusual breathing exercises.

However, as a relaxed or stretching position and breathing exercises are only one of several methods used to reach a focused meditative state, and spiritual enlightenment is a popular goal of many meditators, it is by no means the only method of meditation or self development.

Besides many more methods, there are countless benefits to self improvement meditation.

New technological discoveries reveal simple methods to achieve what used to require years of training or total life commitment to mental focus and discipline, to receive the self help results that may be easily achieved within weeks or months instead of years of total dedication and conventional self improvement meditation.

Every great accomplishment, invention, work of art, scientific discoveries or anything else requiring extensive use of talent or focused thought was brought about after some form of meditation. Likewise, all self improvement requires a focused inward look and setting and achieving goals with a specific envisioned result for any self improvement to occur.

Meditation, by definition, includes; to plan in the mind; deep continued thought; solemn reflection on sacred matters as a devotional act; a self directed practice for relaxing the body and calming the mind; or a focused mental practice of mental, physical or spiritual talents or abilities. Meditation for self improvement is simply focusing that thought effort onto the area of self development that is needed.

Until recent discoveries in neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and quantum physics, meditation was mostly associated with certain religious practices, psychic practitioners and martial arts. Now, self help meditation is rapidly becoming more mainstream with new scientific evidence proving that thoughts are things, generating energy that may interact with other energy, matter, or even the thoughts of other individuals, that may enable anyone to empower themselves with new self improvement capabilities that were not known to be available before.

Some meditation can even be automated through biofeedback or brainwave entrainment. This can automatically bring about desired benefits by stimulating brainwave frequencies, thoughts, emotions and the energy they produce with external stimulation via light impulses, or sound frequency stimulation, with or without guided meditation, affirmations or subliminal suggestions.

The most popular and arguably the most rapid and effective form of brain entrainment or automated meditation is sound biofeedback in the form of binaural beats (Isochronic tones, monaural beats) or pulses at specific cycles per second, or by producing different sine tones in each ear, causing the brain to produce its own binaural beats or brainwave frequency, equal to the difference between the frequencies of the two tones. This is a natural function of the brain called the frequency following response, in which the brain mind tunes itself or harmonizes to a recognized stimulus.

Just as certain types of music can produce certain moods or states of excitement or relaxation, brainwave entrainment is a safe and effective way to stimulate the brain and deliver messages to the subconscious mind in it’s natural language of emotion, visualization and vibrational energy.

These biofeedback methods can be used independently, or combined to generate a single dominant brainwave frequency or multiple frequencies within the brain for more advanced brain enhancement results. They can also be used with guided meditation or subliminal affirmations.

Brainwave entrainment has been shown to actually increase the number of neural pathways in the brain, enabling more whole brain thinking, by harmonizing brainwaves between the hemispheres of the brain. Improvements in memory and IQ have been shown to continue to improve for some time after a period of regular use of brainwave entrainment has ended.

For best results, most self improvement requires repetitive meditation over a period of time and can sometimes take many months or years to get maximum results without personal training or a good brain entrainment program. The good news is brainwave entrainment technology is inexpensive and can start producing positive results almost immediately for simple relaxation or for calming nerves after a stressful day, or within a few weeks of regular use for more complicated health or habit related issues. Long term use of a variety of frequencies has been shown to expand benefits in other ways of empowering confidence or intuition or abilities of self or physiological control.

Some of these scientifically produced and documented benefits of automated meditation or brainwave entrainment are desirable to most people. The most sought after benefits include relaxation and elimination of stress, weight loss, elimination of habits or addictions to drugs or alcohol, healing or treatment of physical or mental illnesses, enhanced brain function, improved IQ, enhanced intelligence, intuition and creativity, improved athletic abilities and even manifesting wealth and success.

New government regulations eliminate the ability to use references or case studies in any online advertisement or promotion of a product that is not an FDA approved or government sponsored product, so it may be difficult to choose the best product, without some research. Research beyond this article should be mandatory for anyone seeking shortcuts in self help or brainwave entrainment.

There is really no reason to wait until until the new year to begin a self improvement plan and struggle through another goal or resolution. It could be as simple as putting on some headphones for a few minutes per day before bed or first thing in the morning. Or, maybe not.

Brian Fowler has a very unique education, insight and perspective of brain science, self development and mind control with brainwave entrainment, combined with a long career with hands on experience as a contractor-technician in sound, video and data broadcasting systems.

He has been a student of psychology, neurology, quantum mechanics, and quantum physics. Short of any degree, he continues his studies and experiments in free energy physics and mind-brain-energy relationships.

As a business owner and multimedia and data systems contractor, he has been installing and troubleshooting broadcast audio, video and data systems with far ranging frequencies, and documenting effects on and from living organisms and other objects, relating to those systems for almost 15 years.

Having access to technology, research data, and hands on experience that is not taught in any university without a contract with the inventor or patent holder of the technology, Brian has found himself in a unique position with multiple related sciences that are related to natural energy sources and brainwave frequencies that are connected with scientific evidence, but without a scientific study or course to connect the dots.

It is now a priority for Brian to connect the dots and share any discoveries with the world before the knowledge can be oppressed for financial or power motives.
