| Posted: 09 Dec 2011 01:00 PM PST Happiness interview: Kelly Corrigan. Kelly Corrigan is a writer well-known for her books, The Middle Place and Lift, and also from her YouTube video, Transcending, which has been viewed more than 4.75 million times. She writes a lot about the challenges of life, small and large—from ordinary, day-to-day issues to major challenges such as her fight with cancer. I was very interested to hear her thoughts on happiness. Gretchen: What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier? Kelly: Walking outside, preferably with my dog, ideally with the dog and a friend. What's something you know now about happiness that you didn't know when you were 18 years old? It comes, it goes, it comes back. Is there anything you find yourself doing repeatedly that gets in the way of your happiness? Eating and drinking too much. Short term highs vs. long term satisfaction—still tricky for me. Is there a happiness mantra or motto that you've found very helpful? (e.g., I remind myself to "Be Gretchen.") Things happen when you leave the house. If you're feeling blue, how do you give yourself a happiness boost? Reading with the girls. I always know that's time well spent and a lot of my anxiety is around wasting time. Is there anything that you see people around you doing or saying that adds a lot to their happiness, or detracts a lot from their happiness? Catalogs. Don't look at 'em. Big time suck. Wish lists take up brain space better used on something more promising. Have you always felt about the same level of happiness, or have you been through a period when you felt exceptionally happy or unhappy—if so, why? If you were unhappy, how did you become happier? Was really down one summer before I met Edward. Panic attacks, lifeless, etc. I went to see a great therapist named Priscilla Marquis in San Francisco. Helped a lot. Also read a book I liked called The Feeling Good Handbook. Do you work on being happier? If so, how? Keeping track of moods—what's driving them—how to recreate them. * Join the Facebook Page—lots of interesting discussion there.

| Stress Reduction Meditation Techniques in Six Simple Steps Posted: 09 Dec 2011 12:00 PM PST Article by Laura Whitelaw Since the beginning of time, humans have had deal with stress as part of their daily life. Stress can be a positive influence at times however. It can motivate you to achieve your goals and complete projects. If however, the influence of stress is negative, you can begin to feel depressed and it can affect your health in a bad way. You may develop serious illnesses such as heart disease or cancer or you may suffer minor health concerns such as insomnia or headaches. Some people even become stressed in reaction to happy occasions such as getting married, having a child or getting a promotion at work. You don't need to get rid of stress, you just need to learn how to manage it so that it doesn't become too overwhelming. A little bit of stress can help you with job performance, competing in sports and accomplishing your goals. To safeguard against too much stress, why not give meditation a try. The benefits are often immediate and life changing. Begin by sitting in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor and your hands in your lap. Meditation in Six Simple Steps 1. The first step is to follow your breathing. Simply take a few slow deep breaths and follow your breathing as it enters and exits your body. 2. The second step is to focus on your posture. Relax your shoulders and straighten your back. When people are stressed they often slouch. 3. The third step is to let go of any stressful thoughts. Imagine a peaceful scene in nature. You can imagine that you are lying on a beach or in a meadow. 4. The fourth step is to acknowledge that you are stressed and that you have the capacity to deal with it with grace and calm. 5. The fifth step is to allow this knowledge to penetrate your subconscious mind. Know that you are capable and deserving of all the love, peace and joy the universe has to offer. 6.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2011 11:00 AM PST Article by Paul Wells Getting To Know Hatha Yoga Yoga has it beginnings in ancient India but this discipline has invaded the whole world due to the benefits it offers to people who take up yoga. A survey shows that there are more than sixteen million people who practice yoga in the United States alone. There are various types of yoga and each type has its own methods and purposes. One type of yoga is the Hatha Yoga which literally means sun and moon, coming from two Sanskrit words Ha which means sun and Tha which means moon. Hatha Yoga, which was first introduced in the 15th century by Yogi Swatmarama, was meant to help yoga practitioners start off with purifying their bodies before proceeding to a higher level of meditation. It is said that Hatha Yoga is similar to Raja Yoga which follows the principle of yama which refers to moral self discipline or control. However, there are sectors who believe that Hatha Yoga has its origins as early as the 10th century. American yoga followers usually practice the Hatha Yoga to improve their physical and mental health. Most of the Western practitioners of the Hatha Yoga focus on the asanas or yoga poses and exercises but it is really a unified yoga discipline veering not only on the physical but also in Pranayama which consists of breathing and meditation techniques. Both Hatha Yoga and Raja Yogi are known as Ashtanga Yoga because it follows the eight limbs which include the asana or the poses including the Lotus pose, easy pose, pelvic pose and easy pose. Some sectors however do not consider Hatha Yoga as Ashtanga Yoga since they believe it follows the six limbs. The literal meaning of Hatha Yoga refers to the use of opposite forces or energies much like the sun and moon or the more familiar concept of yin and yang. This yoga discipline aims to achieve a balance between the physical and the mental powers of a person to achieve a higher level of existence. The body and mind is prepared for a higher level through the execution of the asanas. Ha tha Yoga makes use of Yama or moral control, the Asanas or the poses, Pranayama, Niyama, specific exercises known as Mudra which aims to improve the breathing technique and Nadanusandhana. All the six limbs work together to help the practitioner achieve a higher level of Kundalini or concentration and meditation. Most Yoga practitioners strive to follow moral discipline or yama to live a virtuous life. According to the yoga discipline, a person can live a virtuous life by following the ten moral restraints primarily the ahimsa or veering away from causing harm to all living creations. The other yamas include Satya or the ability to stick to the truth, Asteya which prohibits a person from stealing or incurring debt, Brachmacharya which requires celibacy for singles and faithfulness for those who are married, Kshma which refers to the virtue of patience, Dhriti or the principle of commitment, Daya which prohibits cruelty to all beings, Arjava or the promotion of honesty, Mitahara or keeping a moderate food intake and Shaucha or purity in thoughts and words. Yoga has been referred to as physical yoga because of the use of poses or exercises to achieve unity in body and mind. Some people equate yoga with Hinduism maybe because it started in ancient India but it should not really be identified or attached to any religion because it is a universal science that aims to achieve spiritual balance. Hatha yoga is a very significant discipline that helps a yoga practitioner to achieve unity of body and mind in order for him to be elevated to spiritual perfection. While different yoga pose can also develop muscles and body form, they are however primarily aimed to achieve a balance in the body systems and internal organs. Some people take up Hatha yoga to heal their physical and emotional illnesses. With constant execution of the asanas, the human body ultimately develops into a stable and enduring vessel for the human spirit. Yoga disciples continue to execute the asanas not on! ly to ga in physical but also mental balance. The discipline one can gain from yoga will go a long way in helping the person lead a disciplined, happy and peaceful life.http://www.books4knowledge.co.uk/yoga-at-home-4256-p.asp About the Authorhttp://www.books4knowledge.co.uk/yoga-at-home-4256-p.asp Yoga for Inflexible People 3 DVD Set (50 Routines) This amazing and effective 3 DVD set delivers over 50 routines and unparalleled expert instruction to help you become more flexible, gain strength and reduce stress.

| Give the teens in your life the gift of calmness Posted: 09 Dec 2011 09:00 AM PST
We cover a lot of ground in my six-week course, but a core element is the practice of meditation. I was hesitant to do this. I wondered whether these restless teens would be able to sit still even for five to ten minutes. And what if they thought it was lame? As it turned out, the most common comment in the end-of-term evaluation reports was "The best part was the meditation. I wish we could have done more!" So this summer I promised my students that I'd make a CD based on the meditations I'd done with them. We'd covered body scanning (focusing on bodily sensations in order to calm the mind), using looking and listening in an open and receptive way as a means to bring about inner peace, meditation on the breath, a little lovingkindness meditation, and even some creative visualization. I'm pleased to announce that the CD — Mindfulness Meditations for Teens — is now available on Wildmind's online store. This album is also available as an audio download. It's on the way to Amazon, although they're saying it's currently unavailable. Christmas is coming up. Why not treat the teens in your life to some inner calm? If you get them meditating it'll probably bring a bit more calm into your life, too! Related posts:

| Easy Techniques for Stress Reduction Posted: 09 Dec 2011 07:00 AM PST Article by Ricky Dean The modern world has reduced the human race into a species that is so stressed out they are liable to get burned out soon. Stress levels increase as worries increase. Presently, the worldwide economic crisis is in the forefront of causes for stressed out individuals and there have been incidents of tragedy. Stress is also the main cause of depression and anxiety attacks for a lot of individuals and the main worry is how to decrease the stress levels.Psychoanalysts agree that relaxation is the antonym of stress. Relaxation can be achieved in many ways yet people are finding it hard to get into that mode. Here are some ways to achieve what others had been wondering about.Exercising is one way to release tension from the physical body. With the sweat pumping and the muscles contracting, the mind could find a different focus other than nasty thoughts. When exercising, people can actually think of something else or if they can't get away from their worries, they could actually find solutions faster, that is because there is more oxygen pumped into the brain cells and this stimulates the synapses. Result: you think better.For some people though, exercising is not an option they can readily enjoy. There are other ways to relax. Try some aromatherapy. There are essential oils that when used in scented candles or taken in tea can make the body relaxed and the mind to relax as well. Try a cup or two and even light several of the scented candles when taking that tea, pretty soon you'll seek your bed and sleep a good sleep which is usually neglected when full of worries.There are also some foods that can help you relax. For women, it is chocolate. When stressed out or in emotional turmoil, chocolates help relax the mind and body because chocolate has a chemical in it that can mimic the hormone for the production of endorphins - the 'happy' hormone.For men, it is quite different. Alcohol has no business in nutrition so that is not the way to relax properly. Men have a different response to seeking relaxation,! they in dulge in good food, or simply put, they go on a 'SEE FOOD' diet - whatever they see they eat.However, be it chocolate or 'see food,' both men and women relax best when they laugh. That laughter is still the best medicine is not surprising so it would also be safe to assume that playing can be a form of relaxation as well.Run around with friends, watch a movie, and take time out from a stressful life. When you don't have to think about worries, then you can get more relaxed. Thinking can lead to over thinking and it can lead to overcompensation and in the end, bad decision making. Give your mind and brain a break and you will find that after a while, when the brain cells have recharged, it can think faster and find better ways to combat stress.Stress is an epidemic that is slowly destroying man. Try out some relaxation techniques that will make you a healthier individual and give you time for overcoming stress. About the AuthorRicky Dean is a professional article writer for Dinosauric.com.

| Introduction to Yoga Accessories Posted: 09 Dec 2011 05:00 AM PST Article by Amelia Sherman Yoga has spread across the world and has not remained confined to India. Yoga has undergone several changes to match the demands of globalization. Yoga has caught the imagination of America and other countries and that has led to its commercialization in the form of profitable business ventures.. Conventional yoga failed to make use of yoga accessories.Conventional yoga didn't use with desire to make yoga more appealing. And manifestly, these yoga accessories were introduced with intent to make yoga more appealing. And unnecessary to practice of yoga. Yoga accessories have well served the purpose of glamorizing the age old practice of yoga. Yoga accessories have been accepted very well. Yoga is something that came to note only in the recent times. Since folks about yoga, they presumes these accessories point of yoga. While the purpose of these accessories may have been to make yoga more commercial and viable, they certainly have helped making the practice of yoga a lot simpler and easier.

Wearable accessories for Yoga include shorts and soft Yoga shoes. Such cotton shorts provide comfort and don't interrupt body movements whilst performing asanas. Soft Yoga shoes are typically selected by ladies. Another really favored yoga accessory is the yoga mat. This mat offers you support when you are performing assorted asana.!

| Posted: 09 Dec 2011 04:00 AM PST As audacious as it may seem to contradict venerable figures such as John Stuart Mill, Flaubert, or Sartre, I disagree with some of their views about the nature of happiness. Flaubert: "To be stupid, and selfish, and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness; though if stupidity is lacking, the others are useless." I argue that this is Happiness Myth No. 1: Happy people are annoying and stupid. Vauvenargues: "There are men who are happy without knowing it." Heartily disagree. My Fourth Splendid Truth is "I'm not happy unless I think I'm happy." Or as Eugene Delacroix wrote, "He was like a man owning a piece of ground in which, unknown to himself, a treasure lay buried. You would not call such a man rich, neither would I call happy the man who is so without realizing it." Eric Hoffer: "The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness." Sartre: "Hell is other people." [Actually, hell is other people, but heaven is other people, too.] Willa Cather: "One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them…" Alexander Smith: "We are never happy; we can only remember that we were so once." My Eighth Splendid Truth is "Now is now"; it means many things, but among other things, it reminds to remember the happiness that is here and now. John Stuart Mill: "Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so." [I reject this statement, but I would agree "Ask yourself whether you are happy on a scale from 1 to 5, and you cease to be so." For me, at least, trying to make those kinds of tricky judgments diminishes happiness—I find it very difficult to answer a question like that—while the simple question, "Am I happy?" contributes to happiness.] How about you? Do you agree or disagree with these theories? * I found a lot of great material on Greatist. * The holidays are coming. For your consideration: The Happiness Project (#1 New York Times bestseller).

| Using Zen Stick Meditation Techniques for Financial Health Posted: 09 Dec 2011 03:00 AM PST Article by Laurie Desjardins Everybody has wants. We want that iced green tea soy latte from Starbucks in the morning, or that slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert. We want to get that new book, see that new movie, buy that new Blu-ray player, or go to Cancun for a vacation. For some people, though, those wants get out of control. There's a reason that Americans are collectively .3 billion in debt. Unable to maintain a balance between immediate wants and long-term goals, people get caught in a vicious financial cycle. And though they seek outside for answers - from yet another financial adviser or debt consolidation firm - they're missing the one place where they could get those answers: from inside themselves. The link between meditation and finances It's no real secret that your state of mind affects the entire rhythm of your life. Why is it any surprise that it affects the financial part of your life as well? If you studiously avoid looking inward, you could be ignoring the true root of your financial problems. Regular meditation with your Zen Stick meditation tool can help you find balance and bring both your immediate wants and long-term goals into perspective. By finding the heart of your behavior, rather than seeking outside ways to treat the symptoms of it, you'll become better at managing your money and your life. On-the-go meditation Every decision we make has some wanting aspect to it. The question is whether it's something you're able to ride out. No matter how many times you give in to those wants, you'll never be satisfied. Meditation can help you ride out the initial wave of "I must have that NOW." That way, you can gain perspective and decide if that's something you truly want in the grand scheme of things. One of the benefits of your Zen Stick meditation tool is that it's portable, so you can engage in meditation techniques wherever you are. When your wants first rise, take a quick moment to toss your Zen Stick and achieve instant focus. It wil! l make i t easier for you to think outside of your "wanting mind," as Buddhism calls it. Whenever you find yourself agonizing over wants that seem incredibly important, use your Zen Stick to regain your balance and perspective. Think of sources of joy in your life and appreciate what you already have. Strengthen your meditation habit Find a time every day that you can have 10 or 20 uninterrupted minutes for your chosen meditation techniques. It may be difficult at first, but a sticking to a strict daily schedule can help make it a habit and make it easier to reach a meditative state. You also need to create a place of peace where you can truly tune in to your inner self. Let go of the thousands of other voices and ideas in your mind and really relax. That will make it much easier for you to achieve the focus and peace of mind needed for the most beneficial meditation. First, know thyself Don't be a slave to your behaviors, following them unthinkingly. Healthy finances come from a healthy life. Use daily meditation to get to the heart of the problem and start solving your financial issues from the inside out. About the AuthorLaurie Desjardins is a meditation expert and creator of the Zen Stick relaxation tool. If you want to truly align your mind, body and spirit, consider adding the Zen Stick to your relaxation repertoire.

| What Does All This Yoga Jargon Mean? Posted: 09 Dec 2011 02:00 AM PST Article by Andi Jackson You may feel a bit like you have jumped in at the deep end. There are a lot of technical words in Yoga, many of which originate from Sanskrit so it can be difficult to understand and follow instructions as a beginner. This is a quick but detailed explanation of some of the more common Yoga terminologies to help you getting started. AsanasNo doubt you will hear and read this word many times when researching Yoga or attending Yoga sessions. Asana means pose or posture and is the name given to all Yoga postures. This is why all of the yoga postures you will encounter end in asana. For example, Tadasana means Mountain Pose. When someone refers to a Yoga Asana, they are really just saying Yoga Pose. Yoga texts mention around 840,000 Yoga postures and up until recently only around 20-30 of these used in daily practice. Now over 200 Yoga postures are being used by Yoga students across the globe. PatanjaliPatanjali is the legendary founder of Yoga teachings. Patanjali is said to have to lower body of a serpant and be the bringer of philosophy, language and medicine to India. Although mythological in appearance it is accepted that Patanjali was in fact a historical figure and it is estimated he lived around 220 BC. Patanjali developed the Yoga Sutras. Yoga SutrasThe Yoga Sutras (otherwise known as the Yoga Aphorisms), is an authoritative work developed by Patanjali in which Yoga is said to consist of eight limbs. These eight aspects are all equally important and inter-related with each other. 1. Yama - Five Universal Commandments of not harming anyone, truth, non-stealing, godly, chaste life, greedless. 2. Niyama - Five Personal Disciplines of cleanliness, contentedness, self discipline, study, study of the scriptures and dedication to God.3. Asana - Devoted practice of the Yoga Postures.4. Pranayama - Practice of breathing control.5. Pratyahara - Detachment of worldly activities.6. Dharana - Concentration.7. Dhyana - Meditation.8. Samadhi - Trance or state of bliss. Iyegna! rAlthoug h you may hear Iyegnar Yoga mentioned a lot with regards to Yoga, Iyegnar is not a terminology. B.K.S. Iyegnar was a revolutionary pioneer of Yoga who developed a series of Yoga techniques based on the traditional works of Patanjali with the added bonus of accessibility for people of all levels of Yoga. Iyegnar Yoga refers to Yoga postures that have been influenced or taken directly from Iyegnar's works and are generally an indication that they are beginner friendly or have beginner friendly variations. PranayamaPranayama is the advanced stages of Yoga mastery where Yoga postures are practices to control breathing. Pranayama is not to be attempted without first mastering the Yoga postures and many insist that it should only be carried out under expert supervision. Pranayama incorporates breathing techniques and exercises into your Yoga regime. Yoga ToolsNo, you don't need a spanner before you start to learn Yoga. Yoga tools are certain household props that may be required to help you complete certain postures. Thanks to the work of Iyegnar, many Yoga postures were developed with variations that use tools to help beginners complete the posture.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2011 01:00 AM PST THE issue of housemanship seems to be getting more media attention than, say, the training of junior lawyers, engineers or architects. This is probably due to the fact that medical services are a basic necessity. At the one end you have senior doctors exhorting and berating junior doctors who at their end put up a vigorous and spirited defence of themselves and, further, demanding more modern working conditions. My sympathies lie with the junior doctors. Some senior doctors tirelessly and endlessly labour under the impression that during their time they were "better" than the current crop. The junior doctors of today are biologically no different from those who graduated 40 to 50 years ago – it is too short a time span for significant evolutionary changes to have taken place. What has probably happened is that the skills of the senior doctors have improved with time (after making mistakes along the way). Furthermore, it is well known that one's memory of events from the distant past can be unreliable. However, this does not mean that all is well with the system. Young people today have to accept as "education" a system that shortchanges them by focusing on easily taught, tested and quantifiable competencies and downplaying the importance of the qualitative ones. Many primary schools seem to have given up the pretence of doing anything else but teach-to-the-test. Short shrift is given to the development of important life and personality skills and traits. On prize giving day teachers give out awards to the little boy or girl who gets the highest marks in Maths, Science or language. Where are the prizes for the kind, honest, punctual, polite or neat child? What message does this send to other little children? Furthermore, achieving strong literacy and numeracy skills is a very complex process. It is, at the minimum, an interplay between book learning and the child using and developing the knowledge so gained in day-to-day life. But there is little incentive or opportunity for this, as all efforts are geared towards obtaining the 5As on paper. Entry into university (especially for the professional courses) is in the main, almost solely based on marks obtained in Form Six. This is usually a standardised written and practical exam. (These exams may be cheap to administer but are well known to have serious deficiencies.) Many secondary school students respond to this by spending all their time studying-to-the-test. Whatever co-curricular activities they take up are tailored to fit in with the education system. They are little rewarded for cultivating other important hallmarks of a well educated adult, such as a sense of responsibility, dedication, dependability, impartiality, etc. All the cues and signals come from adults, and most young people have no choice but to simply respond as best as they can. Hence, if you want better housemen, change the entry requirements, selection process and training programme so that only responsible and well educated young people are allowed to enter and graduate from medical school. Of course it will involve a lot of extra work on the part of university administrators who have for long relied on quantifiable criteria for ease of adminstraton. Dr M. NAICKER, Puchong, Selangor.

| Guided Meditation For Children Posted: 09 Dec 2011 12:02 AM PST Article by Tannu Most people are curious about a child's ability to meditate. Many adults can't seem to find the time nor have the patience, so people wonder how could a child sit still long enough to meditate? Remarkably, children love to meditate. Meditation allows children to use their creative imagination without limitation. Meditation has proven effective with helping children become more attentive, which begins with a child's ability to focus on himself. Meditation is a time for children to explore their inner world. Children are fascinated with clouds in the sky and stories on television; however, they are often most captivated by their own thoughts. There are several meditation techniques borrowed from various cultures that help children thrive in today's world. Some of these techniques involve comfortable relaxing concentration. Others are journeys through time and space within ones mind. Many adults have trouble opening their inner mind to see, feel and hear the element of their meditation. Children, on the other hand, are by nature open and imaginative. The facilitator of the child's experience determines the success his meditation. Anyone can become a dynamic child meditation facilitator, whether they are a parent, teacher or therapist. The facilitator should be familiar with the most important benefits a child attains through meditation, practice and awareness. When a child meditates, he practices something in his head so later it is easier for him to carry out the particular action or feeling. Meditation also brings into consciousness thoughts the child is unaware of during normal consciousness. Practice: something we do so we feel better later When we practice a process in our minds, we are able to successfully repeat this process in the real world. Simply stated, we do something in our heads so we feel better later. This is similar to working out our body at the gym. We strengthen our biceps so we are able to lift a heavy box later that week. Likewise, during med! itation, seven-year-old Ashley practices how to feel and the let go of her anger during a grounding meditation. Because she has practiced this during meditation it is easier for her to process her anger later. shreevedic tarot reading The most ideal practice meditations bring calmness and focus to a child. These meditations are quite grounding, that is they bring a child into balance with the natural rhythms of the earth, which results in physical stability and emotional ease. A child can practice these meditations absolutely anywhere, even in her classroom when she begins to feel distracted or frustrated. The Sleepy Cloud meditation is another excellent example of a practice meditation. This exercise helps a restless child bring sleepy thoughts into her inner mind, allowing her to fall asleep more easily. Awareness: Seeing thoughts hidden deep down inside our minds Meditation is also useful for bringing into consciousness a subconscious thought. For example, Keith practices a release meditation with his father during which a picture of a frightening movie scene appears in his mind. When he shares this, his father learns that this scene may be causing the anxiety he has been expressing recently. This awareness prompts a conversation about the scene, and coupled with more meditation, Keith finds peace. An effective awareness meditation is the Happy Tree meditation, during which the child sees a tree with happy and sad fruit. This is a metaphorical journey for the child. In many ways the sad fruit and the tree represent her sadness and the happy fruit represent her happiness. During the meditation, the child nurtures her sad fruit in a special way. Since this is a metaphorical journey, the parent and child can become aware that ways in which she nurtures her sad fruit can also help her understand how she can nurture herself.

| Practising Buddhism Brings About Many Benefits Posted: 08 Dec 2011 11:00 PM PST Article by Mike Selvon Millions of people follow Buddhist studies but there are still many people in the Western culture that are unfamiliar with Buddhism. It is a religion that dates back thousands of years and has helped many people overcome their suffering and has taught countless others how to help end the suffering of their fellow man. This religion can seem difficult to understand when you first begin but if you take the time to learn the basic tenants, then you can find your own happiness and sense of self-fulfillment that many miss in life. There are two main schools of Buddhism. There is the Mahayana and the Theravada. Each of these facets of Buddhist teachings is different but they have many of the same similarities. Perhaps the biggest difference is in how bodhi or enlightenment is reached and what is required to aspire to the level of the Dali Lama. The Buddhist religion and philosophy is based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha. There are four main beliefs that the Mahayana and Theravada believe in. These are: the Middle Way, Dependent Origination, the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The journey to Buddhahood is the highest attainment that anyone following the religion Buddhism can attain. Many people associate the Buddhist religion with meditation practice, a Buddha statue and Buddhist practice. These are all true for this belief. Meditation is a huge part of attaining enlightenment. It requires the person to enter into a Zen like state in which they search for the meanings of life. Many people who practice this religion will have a Buddha statue as a reminder of the trials and tribulations that Gautama Buddha went through on his journey to enlightenment. No one is asking you to fast and remain still for forty-nine days, as the Buddha did, but it does require some discipline. One of the main tenants of this philosophy and religion is that you should not cause harm to others. The religion and spirituality Buddhism teaches is that the way to spiritual enlighte! nment is through letting transgressions go. Yes, there will be pain and suffering in life but each person should hold nothing against others for their wrongdoings. To hold transgressions and hatred close to the heart only stops the person from growing spiritually. Buddhism is experiencing an awakening in the West as more people are turning to aspects of this philosophy and applying them to their lives. They are finding that the Buddhist practice of meditation is actually a huge stress reliever. There are even classes, such as in Yoga, which offer some of the Buddhists practices into a way that Westerners can utilize in their lives. If you are suffering from stress and a feeling of emptiness, then perhaps you should give the Buddhist philosophy a try. About the AuthorLearn more about buddhism at Mike Selvon portal.

| Sodomites and infidels should govern U.S. Posted: 08 Dec 2011 11:00 PM PST This video response to Rick Perry's religious homophobia is much more to my liking. Hey, the guy makes a lot of sense. He observes that gay and atheist presidents didn't get us into wars or financial crises. No, "It took some God-fearing vagina penetrators to pull that off." The solution: "Leave the governing to sodomites and infidels." Sounds good to me.

| Meditation techniques for beginners can be well supported meditation CDs Posted: 08 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST Article by Jonsonmak Kelly Howell - Healing Meditation {Guided} Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program Thousands of years prove it, and Western science backs it: Meditation sharpens focus. Meditation lowers blood pressure, relieves chronic pain, reduces stress. Meditation helps us experience greater calm. Meditation connects us to our inner-most feelings and challenges our habits of self-judgment. Meditation helps protect the brain against aging and improves our capacity for learning new things. Meditation opens the door to real and accessible happiness. There is no better person to show a beginner how to harness the power of meditation than Sharon Salzberg, one of the world's foremost meditation teachers and spiritual authors. Cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society, author of Lovingkindness, Faith, and other books, Ms. Salzberg distills 30 years of teaching meditation into a 28-day program that will change lives. It is not about Buddhism, it's not esoteric—it is closer to an exercise, like running or riding a bike. From the basics of posture, breathing, and the daily schedule to the finer points of calming the mind, distraction, dealing with specific problem areas (pain in the legs? falling asleep?) to the larger issues of compassion and awareness, Real Happiness is a complete guide. It explains how meditation works; why a daily meditation practice results in more resiliency, creativity, peace, clarity, and balance; and gives twelve meditation practices, including mindfulness meditation and walking meditation. An extensive selection of her students' FAQs cover the most frequent concerns of beginners who meditate—"Is meditation selfish?" "How do I know if I'm doing it right?" "Can I use meditation to manage weight?"

| Introducing the Greater Good Science Center Posted: 08 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST I wanted to make sure you knew about a world-class resource for mindfulness, compassion, empathy, parenting, and positive psychology: the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at the University of California, Berkeley.

I'm on its Advisory Council and can tell you from direct experience that it has a great and unique combination of academic prowess, heart, and service. Their work stems from these core beliefs:
So I hope you make use of the GGSC's great resources, and connect with others who seek a more compassionate and resilient society.

The GGSC is a vital source of resources for these issues – and for realistic steps toward a world truly based on the greater good. Warm wishes to you, Related posts:
