Download Guided Meditations
Guided meditation is an invaluable tool to help you bring yourself to full awareness. As the mind retrains itself to deal correctly with the stimuli from the outside world, incredible benefits accrue to both body and psyche. In the guided meditation system "Be Still and Know," the correct response to any thoughts or emotions that arise during meditation is to observe them dispassionately. Accept them without anger, fear, resentment or even happiness. Simply observe.
Such objectivity is powerful in defusing stress and the traumas of everyday life. At the website of the Foundation of Human Understanding, you can download a meditation guided by the originator of "Be Still and Know," Roy Masters. The download is free; the only investment you need to make is about 20 minutes of your day and a willingness to let go of judgments.
As you listen to Roy's mellifluous voice guiding the meditation, you may think that it is a form of hypnosis. Indeed, Roy has extensive experience in the study of meditation, psychology, and hypnotherapy, but he has rejected it in favor of his guided meditation, which is the antithesis of hypnosis. Hypnosis may help one to feel good, but it makes no lasting changes. Hypnosis can lead you to be less aware of your daily reality, whereas the goal of "Be Still and Know" is to show you how to achieve complete awareness and escape the hidden forms of hypnotic conditioning we all suffer from to varying degrees.
Since stress is not caused by external events but by your reactions to them, detaching emotion from those reactions will eliminate stress. Rather than being dulled by the repetitions of traditional meditation, your mind will reach a clarity previously unknown to you. Download the meditation today, and you can discover this for yourself.
