Are All Meditations the Same? Last, here are sample EEG patterns during practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique. We are seeing electrical activity from 32 points on the scalp. The top of the chart is the front left of the brain; the bottom of the chart is the front right of the brain. Notice how the signals between pairs of sensors are rising up and down together. This is called coherence. Global coherence is seen during Transcendental Meditation practice—high bilateral frontal coherence and high coherence in frontal /posterior attention networks. This suggests that the brain as a whole is more wakeful, is more lively. Some researchers model alpha EEG as a carrier wave for higher processing and higher EEG frequencies. The more coherent the alpha carrier wave, the more efficient the person would respond—better performance on spatial tasks, memory tasks, creativity scores and paired reaction time tasks. Frontal alpha coherence is not reported in other meditation practices.
Meditation is Easy - Blog — Solving problems through Meditation Meditation is indeed a very simple phenomenon. The only thing you need is a clear understanding of it. Let me share with you a thought provoking video on meditation from a talk by Osho. Meditation is a very simple phenomenon : (Video Courtesy : Osho International Foundation) Here is a full transcript of the video for all those who have a slow internet connection When you are not doing anything at all – bodily, mentally, on no level – when all activity has ceased and you simply are, just being, that’s what meditation is. Whenever you can find time for just being, drop all doing. Once you have become aware of the way your being can remain undisturbed, then slowly you can start doing things, keeping alert that your being is not stirred. For example, I am speaking to you, but my meditation is not disturbed. So meditation is not against action. It is not that you have to escape from life. It simply teaches you a new way of life: You become the center of the cyclone.

Mindfulness Meditation Part 1 by Tim Whiston | Evolution Ezine There are many forms of meditation, but understand you don’t need to explore beyond the very basic practice to achieve amazing results. In its simplest form, meditation can be described as the act of sitting still, being aware of the present moment, and focusing on your breathing. This is at the core of nearly all meditative practices. Consistent meditation will improve your ability to focus and think clearly, plus allow you to reduce stress and heavy emotions such as anger, guilt, and resentment. You will be able to lower your blood pressure, improve heart and lung health, and become a much more overall balanced human being through the practice of simple meditative concepts. You don’t need to spend a lot of time getting ready, but I have added a detailed example below of what a warm up session might be like. Stand Up Straight with your feet shoulder width apart and arms hanging relaxed at your side. Raise Your Arms Straight above your head as if trying to touch the sky.
Mindful Eating - Part 2 - Mindfulness Mediatation - 7/30/02 Mindful Eating - Part Two Mindfulness Meditation Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally. This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity, and acceptance of present moment reality. Dear Friend, This is Part Two in a series on Mindful Eating.

Your breath teaches you that not only does unawareness go with the territory, it is the territory. -- Jon Kabat-Zinn from Wherever You Go, There You Are Usually, there is a point of focus, such as the breath, which one decides to keep for the duration of the meditation. That's it. What's the point? Just one example. Your turn
The Blog That Ate Mind Chatter » Blog Archive » Where are you going? And, why? (Pretending like crazy that what you’re doing really matters) I recently had my mind blown by an incredibly profound experience of what Buddhists call emptiness, or “dropped-off body-mind.” In such an experience “how it all is and what it’s all about” becomes stunningly obvious. All ideas dissolve–ALL ideas. Ideas, premises, beliefs, theories, maps of reality, are seen as inconsequential, insubstantial, uninteresting, beside the point. Instead, there’s just an infinitely deep peace, a vast expansiveness, a deep and profound knowingness about the essence of it all–and, the realization that all of this is who you are. In such an experience, this knowingness of how things really are, what it’s all about, and who you really are is so tangibly obvious that it changes you forever. When you have such an experience you also find that it’s impossible to communicate this knowingness in a way that anyone could possibly understand–unless they, too, have had the experience. Emptiness is an interesting term in Buddhism. And so on. So here you are.
