| Meditation: What You Don't Know, Can Hurt You Posted: 14 Jan 2012 01:00 PM PST Article by Buffy Carney Man hasn't always known about fire, electricity, gravity, or even energy....but just because we were unaware of these forces, didn't mean they didn't exist. After a bit of study on each element though, we were able to evolve very quickly into the civilization we know today. For if no one explored the discovery of electricity we would still be in the dark. Or if nobody had an interest in the hot, fiery flames and burning embers, then we would still be very cold and eating only raw food today. Along with gravity, these forces have always been in existence, but we had to first discover them, study them and learn how to use them effectively for our benefit. It is the same with the power of meditation. Only a few short generations ago, there were very few people who knew of meditation and even fewer who actually used its power to improve their lives. Meditation has always been here for us to utilize. Since it is an invisible force though, we really had to learn how to use it correctly. Now that the countless studies have been done, we are no longer ignorant of its power to provide positive results and endless benefits. When you learn to quiet your mind, you find your true self. It's in this stillness where you will find peace. It's in those quiet moments when you can really turn your attention to your inner body so it can recharge and rejuvenate itself. Most balanced, peaceful people make daily meditation their most important practice of their lives. In turn they are happier, healthier and more creative; they have little to no stress or dis-ease what so ever. They are very patient with themselves and others, and seem to gleam with joy and love. This is a very small list of benefits that you can experience with the art of meditation, the possibilities are endless and you are limitless. I hear a lot of people use excuses when they are asked why they choose not to meditate. The number one answer is "I just can't do it! My mind won't turn off long enough for me to! relax". Well, that is exactly why you DO need to learn how to meditate....so you can regain the power of the mind, learn how to really relax and give yourself some positive, loving energy for a change. The mind is an awesome tool, but it's supposed to be just that...a tool. When we use a shovel, we know it's a shovel. We dig our hole and put the tool away when it has served its purpose. The same goes with your mind. You must learn how to 'put it away' when you don't need it, or least of all give it a break once or twice a day. In its own reasoning, the mind took control somewhere along the way and ended up making all of your decisions for you...you lost control and your thoughts now wander around aimlessly without proper guidance, causing even more worries, doubts, and fear to creep into your life. We are supposed to be in control of the mind, not the other way around. This can prove to be a huge challenge if you don't use meditation. Meditation puts you back in control of your mind and body and reconnects you with your spirit and inner guidance. From the moment we are born we are bombarded with flashing lights and constant noises. It doesn't take long for us to become accustomed to everything unnatural, in this mind created world. Before you know it you are lost in the twists and turns of the never ending stream of technology, but yet, we always feel as if something is missing. All this noise and fast paced way of life is actually leading us further away from our true power, the power within. The mind doesn't want to loose control; frankly it's having too much fun. Have you ever noticed a mentally insane person who talks constantly? I have...in movies especially. They talk and talk, jumping from one subject to another, not really making much sense. You have to admit that this continuous gibbering would get pretty annoying if you had to listen to it all day, every day, forever and ever! This is exactly what is going on inside your head when the mind is allowed to take ! over.... it speaks in circles, nonstop - 24/7 365 days year. When we get annoyed with a TV show or a rerun, all we have to do is shut it off. Same goes for your mind. Learn how to shut it off when you find it's annoying you. You don't need to listen to its every rant and rave, in fact, the less you do listen to it the better off you are. Don't worry, you will still keep breathing and your heart will keep pumping blood through your body. Anything that needs to happen will do so naturally, without the use of your conscious mind. You are much more then your mind will ever understand. Your mind believes that it is you, and you believe you are your mind. Simply not true. The fact of the matter is, you are so much more, and you can only find out how much more when you learn to silence your mind. There are many different techniques you can use when it comes to learning meditation, but the key is to find something you feel comfortable with, stick to it, and adopt this positive habit into your daily life. All it takes is 15-20 minutes each morning and your day will go much smoother, you will have more energy, more focus and clarity, and have much more patients. Don't worry if it takes a month before you are seeing results. Don't give up! Keep on truckin' and you'll get there. It's one of your God given rights so don't allow the mind to take it from you. Knowing all of this now, what are you going to do? I do hope you will invest just a few minutes a day to meditate. It's not hard and there's no way to do it wrong. Guided meditations, step by step instructions, and lessons are easily found on the web for free. All it will cost you is loosing your mind, and that can be a really, really good thing.

| Atheists, pray for the Patriots to beat Tim Tebow Posted: 14 Jan 2012 12:00 PM PST Today is apocalyptic. God-loving quarterback Tim Tebow and his Denver Broncos play Tom Brady's New England Patriots in an important NFL playoff game. This isn't only a football game. It's a battle with cosmic significance. Will in-your-face, obnoxious, Christian "Tebowing" win out, leading fundamentalists to believe that, indeed, God is on the Nuggets' side? Will a quarterback who says he's still a virgin (Tebow) triumph over a guy (Brady) who fathered a love child with another woman and now is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen? God, I hope not! Like some of the Patriots, I'm tired of Tebow talk. So fellow atheists, agnostics, unbelievers, infidels, pagans, and other irreligionists, we've got to start praying intensely for Tebow to not only lose today's game, but to be crushed, humiliated, blown off of the gridiron in an embarassing fashion. Except...wait...let me think for a moment... Shit! We don't believe in prayer. We don't believe in supernatural interventions. Damn. OK, then just watch the game; enjoy it; accept the reality of the final score. Then go on to other things of life, not making more or less of an AFC playoff game than it deserves. Yeah, the Broncos are 13 1/2 point underdogs. But upsets frequently happen, without God. Tibetan Monks of Gaden Shartse & Corciolli .: YAMANTAKA SELF INITIATION :.

| The Power of Meditation -Relieve Stress Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST Article by Anthony McBride Stress is one of the most debilitating factors in our lives. No matter where you go or what you do you will experience some form of stress. This stress can be familial, life or work related. However, the stress comes about in your life one fact remains that stress can affect your health, your mindset, how well you enjoy your life and how well you perform at your job. In fact, stress can directly influence your chance of success no matter what area of life you are looking at. This is why it is important to control how stress affects you as well as how much stress you have in your life. In many cases, you cannot always control the stress in your life you can however, control how you respond to that stress. Consider first what stress does to the body and the mind. Stress makes you tired both on a physical and mental level. It makes it difficult to get a good night's sleep. This is generally because it is difficult for the body to relax and unwind if you are under a great deal of stress. It takes longer to reach REM sleep and so the sleep you do get does not refresh and rejuvenate you. This tiredness fogs the mind making it difficult to think and function. Physically, being stressed can lower the body's resistance to illness, can lower the metabolism and contribute to unhealthy practices such as large amounts of caffeine and unhealthy foods. It also lowers the chance that you will have the energy to have exercise be a part of your daily routine. Many people who experience large amounts of unmanaged stress do not have the energy to exercise in addition to, many times, being unable to manage their time successfully. Meditation is one of the easiest ways to manage and relieve stress. Meditation does not require any special equipment. It can be done no matter where you are. There is also a variety of methods to from which to choose. If you are new to meditation, consider looking into a guided meditation or a meditation class. These are often available at yoga studios, new age shops and private providers.! You can also purchase courses designed to teach meditation in CD or book form. Meditation provides a way to quiet the mind and relax the body. Experienced users of meditation can reach and maintain the relaxed, quiet state of meditation almost automatically. This allows them to refresh their minds and relieve the feeling of stress as well as the wear it places on the body instantly. Meditation allows you to quickly quiet the mind and relax the body. If you consider how much easier it is to function when you are relaxed you can easily see the benefits of meditation. Meditation helps to clear the mind, makes it easier to focus and helps to organize thoughts making it easier to be productive and successful in every aspect of your life.

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST Article by Brain Haley Term paper writing using the mind mapping technique to outline makes the process of your term paper writing well manageable for the writer and the chapters very easy to read, compelling and consistent for the readers. If you want to learn the procedure of writing a term paper outline, mind mapping is better than any linear outlining method in a number of ways, which gives the author the privilege of using free thinking and relativity in writing the term paper. The author easily adds or subtracts a thought or phrase through a mind map, and saves him from the hassle which he might confront while using a linear outline. This is an excellent way to start your paper, organize and finish it. What is mind mapping? Mind mapping is a color-coded outline of the main ideas, sub topics and the details, printed on different colored branches that connect to the center. In the center you will write the main idea such as the title of term paper. Different colors should be used for every subtitle or chapter. What are the advantages of mind mapping? Firstly, this approach is open-ended and open minded. It saves the author from going through the trouble of squeezing new ideas into the strict and tight form of a linear outline, which means adjusting all the subtitles within a particular chapter. With this approach you may make mistakes, as these imperfections lead to creativity and perfection. Mind mapping expands flexible thinking, making your way for better writing. Secondly, mind map uses only three to five concrete or color words on a branch. These words are indicative of the idea that we want to present, which helps jog our memory by trying to recall the details that we intend to include pertaining to a particular word. Thirdly, mind maps speed your writing because you write key phrases that are fairly comprehensive. When you sit down ready to write the term paper, a look at the phrases on the mind maps is all that you need and the ideas or answers flow naturally. Fourth ly, in mind maps you see everything related to the parts, or in other words nothing seems as if it out of place or has been squeezed in a chapter unnecessarily. Your thesis, your chapter titles, and chapter contents all flow because you have answered each question that your reader asked. Speedy techniques help me to write at least two or three term papers each year, and makes the term paper more organized, more focused, clear, easier to read, and finally brings more sales because people understand the information quickly and easily.How do I create my mind map? Use a large sheet of paper which is at least 8 by 11 inches, but I recommend a large square of poster board, so you can spread out! You should also have six to seven colored tip pens ready in primary and bright colors; and they should all be different colors. Even though later you may want to change your mind about the contents on paper, this initial mind map gives you the overall picture of your term paper and what it shares with its readers. It will give you an idea whether this out lay is enough or is there more that needs to be added. Mind mapping is an excellent, practical as well as convenient way to start, organize, and finish your term paper.

| Five ways to increase your joy Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST
In fact, thinking that joy depends on things outside of ourselves is a trap. It makes it harder for us to experience real happiness. True happiness comes from our attitude toward things, not to things themselves. Despite it's seeming elusiveness, it's possible for us to spend much of our time in a state of joy, and here are a few suggestions for moving in that direction: 1. SmileRemembering to smile has a potent effect on how we feel. It sparks off a whole chain of mental and physical events, and promotes a sense of happiness. We can even smile in the face of pain and fear. This reminds us that basically things are OK, right now. Yes, things are not "perfect," but we can deal with it. Rick Hanson, the author of The Buddha's Brain, reminds us that the mind has a built-in negativity bias. We're more likely to pay attention to potential threats than to benefits — even benefits that presently exist. As he puts it, the mind "is like Velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive ones." Smiling implicitly connects us with the positive. 2. AppreciateAlong the same lines, appreciation supports the arising of joy. This is true both in meditation and in our ordinary lives. When people were asked to write a letter of appreciation to someone who had benefitted them, they were measurably happier for weeks afterward. Explicit appreciation is the most effective. When we say words of thanks to ourselves, even in our own heads, it makes the appreciation more real — probably because it involves more of the brain. So in meditation I have a practice I sometimes do of saying "thanks" for all the things that are going right. I notice that the climate is livable (even if it doesn't fit my narrow conception of "ideal") and say "thank you." I notice the room around me, appreciate that it's sheltering me from the elements, and say "thank you." I notice that the electricity, gas, internet connection are functioning, and say "thank you" (I'll do these separately, but I'm abbreviating the process here for the sake of brevity). I'll say thank you in this way for:
This practice can be very detailed. In fact it's best that it's very, very detailed, so where I've said "individual body parts" above, you can in fact do a detailed body scan, identifying each part of the body in turn and saying "thank you" to each. Even where there's pain, you can note that the body part is still struggling to function for you, and trying to heal. (This, incidentally, can free us from the tendency to blame the body for being sick or in pain.) 3. Imbue your experience with a sense of lovingkindnessTo be loving is one of our deepest needs. The experience of loving is deeply beneficial to us, and helps bring about a sense of wellbeing and joy. Jan Chozen Bays, in her book, How to Train a Wild Elephant, writes very beautifully about the practices of "loving gaze" and "loving touch." You can simply evoke the experience of looking with love (for example, remembering looking at a sleeping child) or of touching with love (for example, placing a hand on someone who is in pain). By recalling those ways of interacting, we can bring a sense of love into our experience right now. As you become aware of your body in meditation, for example, you don't have to do that in a cold and clinical way. You can "gaze" (not literally, but in terms of being aware) inwardly in a loving way, and fill your entire body with a sense of love. 4. Feel lovedIt can also be very helpful to feel loved. In one traditional form of the lovingkindness meditation, we begin by recalling someone ("the benefactor") who has shown us kindness. By doing so we can recapture the feeling of being loved, which again is an important support for a sense of "everything being all right." If it's hard to recapture that feeling, you can imagine being a baby in your mother's arms, warm and loved and cared-for. Sometimes I've found it useful just to imagine that there's a source of light and love in the world, that I can tap into. I'll imagine that I'm at the receiving end of a shaft of light, and that this light touches me in a loving way, flooding my being with lovingkindness. I've also sometimes imagined that I'm meditating with the Buddha, not in an idealized and iconic form like you see in Tibetan paintings, but just as an ordinary man sitting beside me. And I'll drop into my mind the phrase "feel the love of the Buddha." What then happens is that I'll feel a sense that the Buddha is radiating love, like an aura, and that I'm on the receiving end of his blessings. 5. Savor the positiveNotice and appreciate any positive experiences that rise, however ordinary they may be. It could be the simple feeling of a coffee cup warming your hands, or seeing the sunlight shining through a window. Or it could be a pleasant feeling that arises when you think of a friend. In meditation, this could be a pleasant sensation of energy in one part of the body, or the simple rhythm of the breath, or a sense that the body is relaxing, or moments of calmness beginning to appear in the mind, or a sense of light, or any spontaneous and pleasing imagery that may appear in the mind Your attention may want to slide quickly onto something else, but this is just an instance of the mind's tendency to take the positive for granted and to go looking for something to be troubled with. So notice anything positive in your experience. Don't grasp after such experiences though, and don't cling to them. All experiences pass. In fact experiences are passing as we have them. So let them go, and don't mourn their passing. Just appreciate them as best you can. Related posts:

| Mindfulness Meditation - Techniques to Improve the Quality of Your Life Posted: 14 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST Article by Robert Winter Do you feel that your life is happening so quickly that you're constantly running from task to task and you never have time to enjoy anything? If you're like most people, the answer is yes. With the hectic pace of our society, many people find themselves seemingly trapped in an endless list of things to do, as if they're on a never-ending treadmill. That can make it very difficult to find satisfaction in life. Even worse, it can eventually lead to emotional burnout, or even anxiety and depression. So how can we learn to slow down and have more enjoyment in our lives? It has been demonstrated that the practice of mindfulness meditation can lead to a dramatic improvement in the quality of a person's life. Mindfulness meditation is a discipline that has been developed over many centuries by the Buddhist tradition in the Far East. Over the last twenty years, people in the West have adapted these practices so that they can be used by anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation. Mindfulness can be described as the art of paying attention. While this may sound simple, in reality it requires specific techniques to train your mind to do this. Once you start trying to pay attention, you'll notice that your mind is hardly ever fully paying attention. Our minds tend to jump from thought to thought and from experience to experience, with the result that we're not really fully present in any of them. The techniques of mindfulness meditation help our minds become more calm and focused, so that we're able to be fully present in each moment. There are many techniques to practice mindfulness meditation, ranging from the most basic to more advanced. In this article we're going to describe the most fundamental technique, called sitting meditation. In this exercise, you simply sit and attempt to pay attention to your breathing. Choose a simple, straight-backed chair and assume a sitting posture. Inhale slowly through your nose, and as you do this try to focus your mind on just experiencing wha! t it fee ls like to breathe. Now exhale slowly through your mouth, once again experiencing what it feels like to breathe. Repeat the breathing for several minutes, while attempting to keep your mind focused on your breathing. While doing the sitting meditation, you will invariably find that your mind wanders away from paying attention to your breathing. This is completely normal. When this happens, and you become aware that your mind is no longer with your breathing, you simply become aware of what your mind is doing and then, gently but firmly, bring your attention back to your breathing. Don't get frustrated if this happens many times. Each time your mind wanders, keep gently letting go of whatever your mind is doing, and come back to your breathing. In this way, you are training your mind to be able to pay full attention to the present moment, and also to let go without becoming frustrated. These skills form the foundation of the practice of mindfulness meditation. With practice, you should eventually be able to do this exercise for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. As you become more proficient at it, you'll find that these skills begin to positively impact your life, as you will feel more tranquility in your everyday experiences, which previously your mind was too busy to appreciate.

| Achieve Daily Peace with Meditation Posted: 14 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST Article by Nelson Berry Achieve Daily Peace with Meditation We all live in a very hectic world. Everything is in a fast-paced motion it's so impossible to immediately find the peace you've wanted. However, you should learn how to get it. That is the only way how you can relieve yourself of the stress and bring yourself to the present moment. When you have peace, especially within, you can easily learn the process of acceptance and control. Peace signifies you have an uncluttered mind, and you have a way of eliminating worries and uncertainties out of your life. A very good way to introduce peace into your life on a daily basis is through meditation. What Meditation Can Do for You So how do you exactly achieve peace with the help of meditation? The secret lies on proper breathing. When you're meditating, the breathing is usually slow and deep but not labored. You allow the air to pass through your nostrils as it goes in and out of your body. Because the breathing is slow, you will feel the vibrations it tries to create. In the process, you bring your concentration to such vibrations, allowing you to just bring your entire energy to the present moment. You can start decluttering your mind from negative thoughts and emotions. Meditation can also relax your entire body, as it tends to slow down your heart rate and blood pressure. Stress causes a lot of tensed nerves, and as you know, stress can always bring about a lot of negativities. Because of its anti-stress ability, meditation is often advised to people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, and sleeping disorder. You can also say that these are individuals who are having a hard time finding peace in their lives. You can also couple the technique with subliminal messages, also referred to as auto-suggestions. These are words or phrases that aim to help change your present mind-set or thinking pattern. Some of the examples may include the following: * I have peace in my life.* I accept everything with grace.* In the mid! st of th e turmoil around me, I am peaceful.* I have come to terms with the difficulties of life.* Life is beautiful.

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 05:00 AM PST WEDDING pictures dating back to the start of the last century are on display as part of a church's 150th anniversary celebrations. Local historian Jessie Mogie has found herself awash with weddings after putting out a call for photographs to help celebrate the anniversary of St Bede's Church in Jarrow. The procession of 150 wedding pictures – dating back to 1901 – are on show at Bede's World in Jarrow until the end of next month. "I was very surprised by the amount of photographs which people sent or brought in. The response has been just wonderful," said Jessie, a member of Jarrow and Hebburn Local History Society. The earliest image is the 1901 wedding of John Harrison James, of Hope Street in Jarrow to Bridget King, who lived in the town's High Street. What took Jessie aback was that the groom was pictured wearing his flat cap. "I was astonished by the flat cap but he was a very elegant man," said Jessie, who lives in Jarrow. A groom in a 1920 picture is sporting a bowler hat, while a picture from 1941 shows only the bride. "Apparently when the wedding party was leaving the church there was an air raid warning and everybody went to the shelter. The picture must have been taken later but I don't know what happened to the groom and why he is not on the photograph," said Jessie. Images in answer to Jessie's appeal have been sent from as far afield as Australia and New Zealand. One picture shows the wedding of Jessie's sister Ann, who now lives in Zambia. Jessie's own wedding to husband Ronald in 1963 also features. She said: "Every one of the wedding pictures tells a story. It has also been interesting to see how wedding fashions have changed. "In the 1940s some of the bouquets were as big as trees but today they are much smaller and neater. Wedding dresses today are also much more fitted and revealing." Also on show is a finger-knitting image of the church by pupils from St Bede's Junior School. The now-listed church in the town centre was built by the congregation, with men contributing their labour at night and on Saturday afternoons after finishing their shifts in the local mines, shipyards and factories. When the new church held its first service the roof was incomplete and there were no seats or glazing in the windows.  Read More @ Source Trul Khor, Tibetan Yoga, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

| Stress Management For Mature Students Posted: 14 Jan 2012 04:00 AM PST Article by Beatrice Boyce Most mature students who are studying for a professional qualification, or taking a course to improve their knowledge of a specialist area, do so whilst still continuing with their full-time employment, or running their own business. This inevitably adds another pressure to what is already a busy life, at work and at home. Most professionals take distance learning courses which they have to study at home, and this reduces the time that they can spend with their partner, or family, and reduces relaxation time away from the workplace. Added to this, most courses and qualifications have coursework, assignments, possibly examinations all with time deadlines and quality targets that must be achieved. As a result, the studying, in itself a very worthwhile personal development activity, can cause some students to suffer adversely from stress. What is stress? Is it always damaging?. Stress can be very damaging and can be very difficult to deal with.Despite the overuse of the word by the many thousands who are not genuinely stressed, when a person is genuinely suffering from stress, it is a damaging and dangerous condition to be in, and action is essential.Stress is pressure caused by the effect on ourselves that we experience as a result of interacting with our environment, for example our workplace, colleagues, our family, our partner, social friends, and the activities that we are involved in, such as projects at work, social activities, and study activities. There can be positive and negative stress. Positive stress can help us to achieve our goals, complete a project successfully, make effective changes to our working or personal lives. The pressures of taking on new challenges and activities, but being successful in them, can be motivating and result in feelings of excitement and fulfilment. Negative stress is caused by the pressures around an individual becoming overwhelming, and then potentially damaging. Once the pressures become too intense, then the fear of failing and not co! ping add further pressures. This type of stress affects people in a negative, often harmful manner. Negative stress can result in our feeling frustration, resentment, anger, worthlessness, and despair, as well as causing a range of physical problems. Why does stress affect different people in different ways? It is now accepted that stress affects different people in different ways. Pressures that can become too much for some people can be absorbed relatively easily by others. The reasons for this are many. One is basic personality differences, where one person sees the pressure as a challenge to overcome, whilst another will have doubts about their ability to cope, and see the same pressure as threatening. A related, reason for this apparent difference is that the more positive person has been better trained, or had previous experience to draw on, whilst the negative person is facing this pressure for the first time, or has had a bad experience of it previously. Another reason is undoubtedly the complexity of the environment that surrounds each person. When an individual has most areas of their lives running smoothly then the pressure from a single event or area of their lives can often be managed without difficulty. The same event can be overwhelming for an individual who has many difficult situations current in their lives, which are already putting them under considerable pressure the last straw effect. How can you tell if you are suffering from Stress? That's sometimes difficult, but if you are: feeling depressedprone to outbursts of anger, feeling helpless and unable to cope, hate the thought of going in to work falling seriously behind with work or study deadlines, having difficulty concentrating, constantly in conflict with colleagues or your partner, eating too much, or drinking too much, experiencing headaches, muscular or chest pains, stomach troubles, losing interest in study or social activities that previously excited you finding that colleagues or family are expressing concern, the chan! ces are that you are stressed. If you are, there is a strong chance also that you have other problems too, as the negative effects of stress can cause physical and mental problems to arise, if the stress is not addressed. What can I do to manage my Stress?. Stress can be effectively recognized and managed. The key is to understand our own signs of stress, select a few appropriate techniques to manage that stress, and then consistently use those techniques. One common characteristic of those who manage stress successfully and positively is that they all view stress, pressures, complexity, as an area of their lives that have to be managed, and they take defensive action if the pressures build to unreasonable levels. If you are suffering from stress, take action! Now! Don't wait a moment longer take action. Here are 25 ways in which you can manage stress more successfully. They are not in order of priority but are offered as suggestions that can help you to prevent stress from damaging your life. Recognise that stress may be affecting you or could do in the future, talk to someone you really trust face to face, or by telephone, letter, or even email, take time out to play a sport, entertainment, family activity, with friends,exercise on a regular basis it helps manage and prevent stress becoming a problem, eat a balanced diet whenever possible, get plenty of sleep this helps you stay fresh and gives you more energy during the day, avoid self-medication with nicotine, alcohol, too much coffee or tranquillisers, try doing something for others colleagues, friends, family, partner, take one thing at a time when possible if not, don't take on too much at the same time,try to avoid unnecessary conflict, at work, home, and socially, develop a hobby or interest as a counter-balance to stressful pressures, don't let work or family commitments become an addiction, don't feel guilty about taking time out for yourself you are important too, don't put off relaxing - use a relaxation stress reduction technique ! daily, k now when you are tired and do something about it take a break, don't be afraid to say No! You won't be respected if you say Yes but then make mistakes, delegate responsibility and or tasks where possible and appropriate, manage your time better - you need a system that works for you, not against you, plan ahead for workload and social activities to prevent too much pressure building up, draw up an Action Plan to tackle the causes of your stress, stress is not usually caused by a single, large, problem - break it down into smaller pieces and deal with them individually,set realistic targets most stress causes are complex and cannot be eliminated immediately, accept that some things you cannot change accept them or change direction to avoid them, when you are successful in making positive changes, even small ones reward yourself, be pleased with your achievement, and be realistic about achieving perfection none of us will ever be perfect. Mild, manageable, stress helps us to achieve our time deadlines, get to appointments on time, remember important dates, and get those last minute details worked out on a project that is due tomorrow, perform to the best of our ability, and produce high quality work. This is usually not what causes us to become "distressed" to suffer negatively from stress. Sometimes too many minor stresses build up to create an unhealthy level of stress. What would, individually, be manageable, combines to become unmanageable and stressful. For example, more and more overlapping work activities, with impending time deadlines and high quality targets, building up to the point where it is not possible for the individual to manage it all. At other times, sadly, we will experience events that in themselves result in exceptionally high levels of stress - such as the loss of a loved one, losing a job, or the ending of a relationship. Adding a course of studies to the mix of pressures that affect mature, working professionals, can raise stress levels to a high or potentially damaging level! . Being aware of the dangers of negative stress, and how to manage stress, is essential. It is one of the many skills that is required by individuals aiming for successful personal and career development. As the demands on professionals increase, in terms of performance in the workplace, having to show evidence of continuous personal development activity, and having to balance these with the demands of home and social lives. The key to success is to recognise that Stress can be a dangerous enemy, to learn about it, and to find ways to manage it effectively. By taking preventative action, using some of the recognised stress management techniques, stress can usually be managed successfully.

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:00 AM PST Article by Jane Hill Yoga originated in India over 3000 years ago and the term yoga is derived from the meaning to unite the mind, body and spirit. Although it has been practiced for many years it has only become popular fairly recently due to celebrities such as Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow becoming avid followers. The physical elements of yoga includes holding poses some of which can be quite strenuous s, as with all forms of exercise, it is important to choose the right footwear be it yoga socks, sandals or shoes to wear when practising. Yoga socks are worn by many people as they are most like a second skin so they don't interfere with any movements. Unlike regular socks, yoga socks have individual toe sleeves which gives the toes more freedom and increases the dexterity of the toes, this is a neccessity in yoga as the toes have to be free to move and spread to support the different poses. There are a wide range of yoga sandals available for those who want the added protection while exercising. Beech Originals are great yoga sandals as they were originally designed around the main principles of yoga; one of the basic things that yoga students are taught is to spread their toes to ground themselves and improve their balance, Beech yoga sandals have individual toe separators which helps to train the feet to spread and realign the toes. As the popularity of yoga continues to grow so does the amount of yoga shoes available to buy. Barefoot styles such as Vibram Fivefingers are arguably the best yoga shoes as they allow the foot to flex and move as it you were barefoot without causing any resistance. This is an important feature for yoga shoes as it is essential that the feet can splay and move to increase the balance for each pose. When choosing your footwear it is important to think about where you will be practising yoga. Yoga socks are great for indoors as they provide extra warmth without affecting your movements. When outside it may be necessary to opt for added protection. yoga shoes such! as Vibr am Fivefingers or yoga sandals such as the Beech Originals both give you added protection without prohibiting the foot's movement so you can still perform even the most difficult of poses with ease. About the Author I've been practising yoga for the past 7 years and think it's an excellent form of exercise. Shilpa Yoga - Shilpa Yoga - Ardha Shalabhasana

| Posted: 14 Jan 2012 12:00 AM PST Article by Kiva Bottero To simply be in the present moment is mindfulness. As a central theme of the Buddhist tradition, its practice dates back over two millennia, but has since spread into various other spiritual and non-spiritual forms. What is the present moment? Simply put, it's neither the past, such as thinking about the events of last weekend, nor the future, such as clinging to desires. It's the opposite of temporal life. Like workers on an assembly line, we see objects continuously coming at us. Upon their arrival, we deal with them. Once finished, we put them back on the line. In the factory of time, the objects being fed to us are life events. Unlike a real factory, these objects are unknown. We often look into the crystal ball, trying to predict the possibilities. This often leads to worry or craving. We attend to the object, usually in a passive "get it over with" frame of mind. If we rush through it and make a mistake, we often think about the past, sometimes resulting in regret. Working under a clock, we're timed to be efficient, so we strive to build widget after widget, without experiencing the process of widget-making itself. To experience the present moment is to exclusively work on the widget, as if there were no clock, no deadline, and no factory. Theorizing about the present moment, however, is of little use. The present moment is not quantifiable. Those who practice mindfulness seek the present moment experientially. It is a practice, not a philosophy. Meditation is the best way to concentrate the mind on the present, though the moment can be captured in other ways through engaged cultural activities and lifestyles that are related to mindfulness. What is helpful is having an understanding of the methodology of mindfulness to use in practice. Stopping is something we don't do nearly enough. It's the first and most important step to being mindful because it helps us break the trance of automation that comes from mindless occupation. Instead of telling ourselves "don't just sit t! here, do something!" Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, a founder of the "engaged Buddhism" movement, recommends we tell ourselves the exact opposite: "Don't just do something, sit there!" Bells of mindfulness are cues that can help us stop and return to the present moment. Audible reminders such as the ringing of the telephone or non-audible reminders like walking through a doorway can be prompts for our practice. Bells of mindfulness can be anything we choose. Once stopped, we can then be aware that our experience with time truly is subjective. When we're having a great time, we say time flew by; when we're not, it dragged. This subjectivity of time can be used to our advantage. Rather than succumbing to our sped- up sense of time passing, we can instead use our perception of time to change our experience with it. In a university psychology class, the difference between sensation and perception is first explored by the question, if a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? While the falling tree does create a change in air pressure that can make a sound, because no one is there to hear it, there actually is no sound. The ear is a sense organ that takes in physical changes, but it's our brain that psychologically interprets those air pressure changes into sound. Similarly, when we're talking to someone with a low voice, we won't hear (perceive) them if we don't pay full attention, though the sound waves are coming through (sense). Mindfulness practice helps us change our perception of time by stretching individual moments in much the same way elite athletes slow down time while "in the zone." We can choose any action to dwell on, such as drinking a cup of tea. Aware of the tea in the cup, I breathe in. Smiling to the tea, I breathe out. Grasping the cup and making it the sole object of our attention, we can look into the cup, feeling it, and smelling it to appreciate its many elements: warmth, sunshine, water, soil, minerals, taste and tea leaf farmer's la! bour. By truly focusing on it, we can appreciate it for everything it is, not just seeing it as a tea bag and water to passively consume. We drink a cup of tea to drink a cup of tea. By engaging the process in this way, we do it with intent and remain in the present moment. About the AuthorKiva Bottero publishes The Mindful Word, a journal of engaged living and mindfulness.

Although born in San Francisco, he spent much of his childhood on a small dairy farm in Washington state. When one of the family's cows died, the young boy asked his Sunday school teacher if he would meet his heifer in heaven. The man could have finessed an answer, Snyder says in the film, but, instead, simply said no: Cows don't go to heaven. "Our moral engagement with the non-human hit me very hard" at that moment, Snyder says with a wry smile. Directed with deceptive subtlety by John J. Healey, and co-produced by Healey and Will Hearst, "Wild," which will be broadcast at 1 p.m. Sunday on KQED, is only 52 minutes long, but like a good poem, is packed with information, heart and meaning beyond its surface. Much of the film consists of a running conversation between Snyder and Jim Harrison, himself a gifted poet and author of novels like "Dalva," and the novella trio "Legends of the Fall." Archival footage, as well as interviews with contributors such as poet Michael McClure and one of Snyder's former wives, Joanne Kyger (she calls him only "Snyder"), are blended with the ongoing conversation between Harrison and Snyder as they traipse the hills of San Simeon, the Hearst ranch. The film, which was screened in this year's San Francisco International Film Festival, includes Snyder reading from some of his work - the poems "Turtle Island" ("I pledge allegiance to the soil...") and "The Practice of the Wild." These and other Snyder poems are considered sacred texts of the deep ecology movement, which recognizes the interdependent bonds among all living things, to oversimplify. McClure recalls that famous October evening in 1955 when Allen Ginsberg stood in the smoke of San Francisco's Six Gallery and read the poem "Howl" for the first time to an audience. As significant as that was, something else happened a bit later: Snyder read "A Berry Feast," which McClure claims had an! even bi gger impact on his audience because it became "the first deep ecology poem." Snyder has had many lives (and, for that matter, many wives, including Carole Koda, whose death from cancer four years ago still haunts him). He has been a teacher, a poet, an essayist, a Zen master and an indefatigable environmental activist. He spent a good part of the '60s in Japan, where he not only learned about Buddhism but also refined his poetic style, finding a love for monosyllabic words, which, he says, are "like rocks." He says writing a poem for him is like creating "a little rock trail."

| Is Bhutan the happiest place in the world? Posted: 13 Jan 2012 08:00 PM PST Within a stone's throw of Bhutan's legendary Tiger's Nest, with lungs burning and heart pounding, misery descends. Smug, grinning hikers are making their way along the narrow, vertiginous path as they return from the monastery set on the side of the cliff, but with vertigo having turned legs and spirit to mush, it appears I am going nowhere. A little while later, with the encouragement of a patient partner and the hand-holding of the tour guide, we are across the gap, beguiled by the majesty of the monastery's location and stunned by the ambition of its architect. I start to feel content, even happy. And then comes the realisation: we have to make it back the very same way. It is hard not to think about happiness in Bhutan, a Stress Reduction kingdom set high in the Himalayas between India and China. As the country has gradually opened itself to the West and its tourists' dollars, so it has projected and exported its philosophy of 'gross national happiness' (GNH), a belief that a society should be measured not simply by its material indicators but by the health, education and the contentedness of its people. Such is the pervasiveness of the idea that last year, the UN adopted a non-binding resolution that 'happiness' should be included among development indicators. The notion sounds fantastic – genuinely radical, even – but is it anything more than a clever piece of global marketing by the Bhutanese, looking to secure their own unique brand amid the multitude of nations? "It sounds like a fairytale, but for Bhutan it has not been so. A young king saw the world and saw it for what it was," said Thakur Powdyel, the country's education minister and one of its most elegant exponents of GNH. "He saw that while the world had achieved economic progress, there were huge gaps and deficiencies. As young as he was, he felt that the ultimate goal of life was to be happy." On the day I arrived in Bhutan, a high-octane adrenaline flight that weaves its way past stunning mountains, a front-page story in the state-run Kuensel newspaper claimed a survey had revealed people from the Haa district in the west of the country were apparently the happiest. By contrast, those from Pemagatshel in the east, were the least content. At dinner that evening in the capital, Thimpu, I asked the waitress, Dorji Mo, a cheerful young woman whose family came from Pemagatshel, why that may be so. "It takes three days to reach my grandparents' village. I have to walk across 10 rivers," said the 19-year-old. "And in the village, there is still no electricity." One thing that rapidly becomes apparent when you arrive in the country, is that it is no Shangri-La, despite the claims of some tourism agencies. People are friendly, but no more so than anywhere else in the region; there is poverty, especially in the rural areas, and in a nation where television arrived only in the late 1990s, there are enduring concerns about the dilution of traditional culture. This young democracy – the country was an absolute monarchy until four years ago – is confronting a series of challenges, perhaps most pertinently providing meaningful jobs for its young people. Increasing urbanisation and a shift away from farming, means there are growing numbers of young adults who do not want to take on work at their family's farm. There are social problems, too; drug abuse and rowdy gangs. Recently, in an unprecedented incident, two police officers in the capital were beaten by a group of youths. Last month, four young men were stabbed in two separate attacks. "What is happening in our GNH nation?" asked one poster on a Facebook page run by social activists. The idea of gross national happiness was developed by Bhutan's previous monarch, the fourth king, Jigme Singye Wangchuck. Returning from a conference of non-aligned nations in Havana, from where he reportedly developed a liking for Cuban cigars, the king's plane stopped in India where a reporter asked the monarch about the economy of the mysterious Himalayan nation. "In Bhutan, we don't just care about gross national product, we care about gross national happiness," the king is said to have retorted. Three decades on, the philosophy has been expanded into a guiding principle based on four central pillars – equitable social development, cultural preservation, conservation of the environment and promotion of good governance – with up to 72 smaller "indices". A GNH commission oversees all government decisions and approves or blocks them depending on whether they fit with these aims. I was told that the commission often steps in and puts a stop to proposals, among them a spa project in the remote town of Gasa that the king had reportedly supported but which local people did not. The grass certainly grows green in Bhutan. There is free health care and free education and since 1980 life expectancy has increased by 20 years and per capita income by 450 per cent. Today, in terms of life expectancy, the amount of education received and income, Bhutan ranks above the average for South Asia. "Bhutan has good results to show for its development over the past 30 years," said Mark LaPrairie, the World Bank's representative. But as with anywhere, the grass grows more greenly elsewhere, especially when viewed through the prism of the young people who hang out around the handful of streets that make up the centre of Thimpu. One evening, in a bar where a man dressed in traditional Bhutanese clothes was engaged in a keenly contested game of pool with a friend wearing jeans and where locals rejected the locally-brewed wheat beer in favour of a drink named in Australia and manufactured in India, a young man told me about the time he had spent in the city of Bangalore. He had worked in a fast-food outlet in the southern, IT-focused city and enjoyed the people he met. The experience in India had left him satisfied, sated. "Now, whatever happens, I can say I have done that," he said. The following evening I heard similar wanderlust among the young Bhutanese. Pointed in the direction of a basement karaoke bar that purportedly served as the hub of the city's nightlife, I encountered dozens of youngsters throwing themselves into song and dance routines to a rather disjointed playlist that included Western R&B and traditional Bhutanese songs. The young men wore Western clothes, including baseball caps and bandanas covering their faces, while the young women were sheathed in traditional silk. Afterwards, in the street outside, one of a group of intoxicated young men stopped me to ask where I was from. "I want to go to the US or the UK, to your country," said the man, who worked in a clothes store. "But I can't. I did not stay in school long enough." I couldn't judge whether the man was happy, sad, or – like many of us – a man whose mood was open to change. The authorities in Bhutan have received widespread attention for their idea. Delegates and envoys regularly make their way to the nation of 700,000 people to see whether the philosophy of GNH can be borrowed or adapted, and no more so than since the 2007 economic crash. Later this year, a large Bhutanese delegation will take part in a conference on happiness in New York, where Jeffrey Sachs and Joseph Stiglitz will be among the guests. In a sense, Bhutan has become associated with happiness in the same way that the Maldives has entwined itself with the issue of catastrophic climate change. One evening at dinner, I eavesdropped as a group of Americans from an NGO held an earnest conversation with a Bhutanese politician about their astonishing experiences in the country's rural heartland. One woman said that for the first time in her life she had been content not to be able to constantly check her BlackBerry. In turn, the politician told them of his experience in the US, where he had bought a McDonald's 'Happy Meal'. The food had been fine, he said, but his children had fought over the free toy. So do the authorities in Bhutan believe they have built a happier world, a system that is worthy of all this international attention? The matter is currently the subject of intense examination by the Centre for Bhutan Studies, which has been assessing contentment indicators since 2005 to develop a GNH index. Last year a survey containing more than 750 questions was given out to 8,000 respondents, who took up to three hours to complete it. It asked questions not just about their economic well-being but about their local community, their interaction with their neighbours, their participation in cultural events as well as their psychological well-being. Tshokey Zangmo, a senior researcher, is currently writing up the results of the survey, but she said variations around the country were actually low. (The front-page story in Kuensel had apparently been based purely on the results of question number 12 which asked whether an individual considered themselves to be happy.) "If you look at the GNH index, the differences are very low," said Ms Zangmo. It may be that the West has misunderstood the issue of GNH. One evening, in a café located inside a newly built and largely empty shopping mall, I had coffee with Dorji Wangchuk, a senior aide to the current king, Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. "It's not just about happiness as it is understood in the West," he explained, saying that a more accurate translation of the king's original concept might be 'gross national contentment'. "Bhutanese people are generally content. In the Stress Reduction tradition, wherever you are in this life is because of your previous life. Contentment leads to happiness." Senior officials readily admit the experiment in trying to create a fairer, more humane society is far from complete. But a number of observers of Bhutan take heart from the fact that such a conversation is even taking place. Francoise Pommaret is a French historian and anthropologist who has lived in Bhutan since 1981. When she arrived, Thimpu contained just 15,000 people, there were no telephones and mail took three weeks to arrive. "I think the concept is genius; it's the only alternative to the madcap development we have in the West," she said, over lunch in a smart Thimpu cafe. "But that does not mean everyone is happy, we are not Shangri-La. But we are trying to make a better country." Read More @ Source Dan Rather Reports - Mind Science (Part 3 of 6)

| Posted: 13 Jan 2012 06:00 PM PST Article by jon leung Meditation is about learning to become present in the moment. Being present in your life and having a calm mind are essential to optimal health. A quiet mind however is not something all of us can make happen automatically. If you've never taken the time to meditate or perhaps you are struggling with meditation here are some ways to improve upon this in your life. The very first and most important thing is to listen and tap into your breathing. Breathe however you feel most comfortable but make sure you are taking deep and full breaths. This will help you to stay in the moment and clear your mind of distractions. A lot of people believe that meditation is about leaving your body, but in actuality it's about getting into your body and the space between your thoughts and your body. Everything is connected to everything else. There's a lot of question as to how much and how long to meditate for. It's better to set yourself up in the habit to meditate rather than to overdo it some days and not enough on others. If you set yourself up to meditate when you wake up in the morning or whenever works best for you, try and set out to do it every day. When you set up a time to meditate choose a length of time that works for you such as 10 or 15 minutes and gradually work up to an hour or even an hour and a half. The more of a habit this becomes the easier your mind will be able to shut down. Clear your mind. Take a few minutes before beginning your mediation to think about everything you have going on in your head. Write it down in a journal or electronically, but take five to ten minutes to let yourself work out everything that is distracting you. Let your stream of consciousness flow out. You'll be much more effective when you let your mind deal with everything that is going on. When you have thoughts of the past and future crowding your mind, you lose the power of intention and your goal of awareness. A final note, you do not need to bend like a pretzel or be a yoga master in order! to posi tion yourself for meditation. The best position is to sit in a chair comfortably. Place your feel on the ground and do not cross your arms or legs, just place your hands open on top of your legs. Sit upright and make sure that you have support for your back. Do not sit or lie down in a place where you may typically relax or sleep as you may drift off to sleep during this exercise. With these steps you should find it fairly easy to glide into your daily meditation. There are so many good reasons to be meditating. Meditation can assist with blood flow and oxygen consumption, chronic diseases like allergies, reduce pre-menstrual syndrome, help to build your self-confidence and most of all lead to a deeper level of relaxation improving your overall condition. Take a moment, breathe and allow yourself the time to be conscious in your present self. About the AuthorJoe trains 5 times a week at Bally's Gym in Orange County.

Joy (sukha in Pali) should be our natural state of being. Unfortunately, though, we've been brought up in a society that emphasizes wanting things and having things. Wanting things actually destroys joy, while having things brings only a short-term burst of pleasure that fades quickly.
