Meditation Techniques

An exciting breakthrough has been made in understanding meditation and this new ebook with meditation techniques included is worthy of your time and consideration. For one thing it's clearly shown how ancient knowledge and modern science can be in perfect harmony and accord.

You see meditation techniques have their root in ancient Hinduism, as evidenced by the sanskrit words still used today in mantra meditation. Krishna is said to have lived 5,000 years ago and yogic traditions - the Indian gurus and Maharishis and Mahavishnu - Great Seer figures have perpetuated meditation in various forms since these early times, and conveyed them to the western world.

The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who perfected meditation, is a relatively recent figure who appeared in Northern India and Nepal about 2,500 years ago - only 500 years before the appearance of Jesus Christ. The Buddha's goal was to find a way to relieve humanity of its suffering - caused by excesses of attachment, desire and craving for worldly things and pleasures. He taught moderation in all things and 'the middle path' of equilibrium: Virtue, right action, right meditation, right speech. The practice of compassion and acts of generosity.

The Buddha's teaching of 'the mindfulness of breathing' is a focusing technique which allows the meditator to relax deeply and begin to experience the exquisite self-transcending states of pure emptiness - states correlated scientifically with lowered blood pressure, slowed breathing and the appearance of alpha, theta and delta waves in the EEG of cerebral hemispheres of the human brain. Other benefits of meditation include reduced stress levels and increased harmony, creativity, productivity and self-actualization. That is, higher levels of growth, development and psychological integration, with consequent wealth and real-life success.
