“A primary method for gaining a mind full of peace is to practice emptying the mind.” – Napoleon Hill: was a lecturer and author of books on achieving success. How timely is this quote again – even though most likely written in the mid ’30s, I do not immediately recall reading it in his famous Think & Grow Rich, it still applies to us today in every way. How full is our mind today? To the brim, you probably tell me, well, I got news for you, it is not, it’s just a matter of priorities, your mind can hold and does hold an immeasurable amount of data, you are just not aware of it. We tend to ..read more

Meditation was originally used for spiritual growth, to become more open to and aware of the holy and the guiding presence of the holy. Today, though, meditation has become a valuable tool even for those people who do not consider themselves religious. It can be a source of peace and quiet in a world that is seriously lacking in both. It can be used for healing, emotional cleansing and balancing, deepening concentration, unlocking creativity, and finding inner guidance. When you begin your meditation, put your expectations aside, and don’t stress out about the ‘right’ way to do it. There are m ..read more

There is an ongoing PBS TV series (also several books and also a website) called “Closer To Truth”. It is hosted by neuroscientist Robert Lawrence Kuhn. He’s featured in one-on-one interviews and panel discussions with the cream of the cream of today’s cosmologists, physicists, philosophers, theologians, psychologists, etc. on all of the Big Questions surrounding a trilogy of broad topics – Cosmos; Consciousness; Meaning. The trilogy collectively dealt with reality, space and time, mind and consciousness, aliens, theology and on and on and on. Here are a few of my comments on one of the genera ..read more

There are many reasons why we don’t do things that we know are good for us. When I first was exposed to meditation, at about 19 years of age, I was working on my first academic degree. I had begun studying the positive effects of meditation. My exposure to meditation was very scientific, very medical. I learned how meditation was good for your heart, your stress levels and just overall good for your health. I would describe it all in very scientific and medical descriptions exclusively. While I knew it was good for me to meditate I wasn’t overly concerned with keeping my blood pressure down an ..read more

You’re probably wondering what mindfulness and wellness, could possibly have to do with each other? And it is indeed a good question. Somewhere in the early 70’s, when the world was recovering from war and recession, there was some time to look around and be aware of the overall situation. Clinical psychologists noticed that people were far less attentive to their surroundings and almost oblivious to the things happening in their life with every passing second! This may not seem like a problem when we talk on a second to second basis, but when we take into account an entire day or week or even ..read more

What do you think? You wake up every day with absolute vitality, having a mind full of serenity and calmness. With the light breeze seasoning through the window curtain to meet you on the bed. Everything coupled together and you’re quite sure that you will repeat the same successful days that you’ve been enjoying for the last couple of days. *sigh… I enjoy this effect myself… it suits me. If you have not been enjoying the same level of consistent tranquility or not sure you can repeat each fun and very interesting days that you witness last time. Right now, in front of you, that is about to ch ..read more

Let’s explore why we don’t meditate twice a day? Some of us do, but many of us don’t meditate when we should. People come home after a long, hard day of work, finish their day and fall into bed without meditating. There’s simply ‘no time’ for meditation. But why don’t we find the time? There is so much proof of why meditation is good for you. If you were to visit some of the healthiest people on the planet you will be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t believe in, attest to, and practice meditation. So if so many people expound in the benefits of meditation, why don’t we meditate? There ..read more

How can self hypnosis and proper hypnosis and hypnotherapy training help you create body and mind wellness? Imagine a really messy house with lots of equally messy rooms in it. This house represents your wellbeing as a whole with each room representing a different aspect of your life; and of course all the clutter represents all your personal issues and problems. What will be your next move? Will you tidy it up by just shoving all the mess out of sight and making it look nice for when the guests come? Or will you spring-clean it inside-out and from the basement up. Unfortunately, most of us ch ..read more
