Download or read book Meditation written by Jr. Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many claim that meditation is effective in the treatment of many ailments associated with stress and high blood pressure, and in the management of pain. While there are many popular books on meditation, few embrace the science as well as the art of meditation. In this volume, Shapiro and Walsh fill this need by assembling a complete collection of scholarly articles--Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives. From an academic rather than a popular vantage, the volume takes the claims and counterclaims about meditation to a deeper analytical level by including studies from clinical psychology and psychiatry, neuroscience, psychophysiology, and biochemistry. Each selection is a contribution to the field, either as a classic of research, or by being methodologically elegant, heuristically interesting, or creative. Original articles cover such topics as the effects of meditation in the treatment of stress, hypertension, and addictions; the comparison of meditation with other self-regulation strategies; the adverse effects of meditation; and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness. Concluding with a major bibliography of related works, Meditation offers the reader a valuable overview of the state and possible future directions of meditation research. Today, in the popular media and elsewhere, debate continues: Is meditation an effective technique for spiritual and physical healing, or is it quackery? Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives weighs in on this debate by presenting what continues to be the most complete collection of scholarly articles ever amassed on the subject of meditation.

Download or read book The Power of Guided Meditation written by Jessica Crow and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Guided Meditation provides an accessible and easy entry point into starting a meditation practice, offering a range of practices and benefits so you can decide how to choose and integrate a program to suit your specific needs. First, explore meditation from the perspective of mindfulness. Why Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of bringing the attention back to the present moment. Mindfulness is not only meditation and meditation is not only mindfulness. Mindfulness in its most complete sense, is a way of living, thinking, and being that is self-aware and deliberate. Most practices as we know them in the West are rooted in mindfulness. Discover mindfulness through: Body Breath Thoughts Sounds Walking Eating Listening/Communication Compassion/Kindness Another focus of meditation is to relieve stress. Why stress relief? Particular meditation techniques induce a calm, serene state very quickly by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. These practices have the power to lower the heart rate, reduce inflammation in the body, settle the emotions, deepen the qualities of our sleep, boost the immune system, and much more. Relieve stress with: Yoga nidra Breathing exercises—calm breathing, diaphragmatic breath, square breathing Progressive muscle relaxation Sleep Affirmation Or, use visualization techniques to anchor a practice. Why Visualization? Visualization lets our mind remain somewhat active as it takes instruction to create images internally. The mind-body connection is powerful and we’re learning more about it everyday. Visualization techniques have been successfully used in the fields of medicine, sports, music, and psychology for many years. Practice visualization through: Haven visualization Oasis journey Wake up Color therapy Renewal Accessing your inner genius There is also a useful and complete directory to reference if you have a specific issue you’d like to address or a desired meditative effect—like more energy, clarity, pain relief—that you’d like to achieve. Depending on your goal, it will direct you to a guided meditation in the book, or it will give you a new exercise for your particular focus. You can search through some common physical conditions that are often helped with meditation, or you can choose an activity from the “Quick Re-sets.” Begin a customized meditation practice right away with this versatile beginner's guide.

From beginners eager to find stillness to more experienced meditators who wish to elevate their practice, Osho’s guide to meditation can teach everyone to separate themselves from their minds for a transformation of consciousness that brings a new understanding of what it means to be alert and responsive to whatever life brings. “Without meditation you do not know the secrets of life, you know only the surface of life.” -OSHO Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life.

Download or read book Transcendental Meditation written by Jack Forem and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple, natural method of allowing the mind to go beyond thoughts and gain access to the silent inner field of creativity, energy, peace, and happiness that is our own essential nature, our Self. Widely known and prescribed by physicians for its powerful stress-reducing effects, TM is much more than that. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918–2008), who brought TM to the West, said that TM offers any individual not only a gateway to the highest spiritual unfoldment (Enlightenment), but also "sound physical and mental health, greater ability in action, a greater capacity to think clearly, increased efficiency in work, and more loving and rewarding relationships with others." Five million TM practitioners around the world and more than 360 published, peer-reviewed scientific studies have consistently corroborated these lofty claims. Described as "a great book, by far the most comprehensive on the TM Program" when it was a bestseller in its original version, Jack Forem’s study of TM became a much-loved classic. This updated edition contains all the features of the original plus much more. Clear, easy-to-read diagrams explain scientific research showing TM’s beneficial effect on the brain and a broad spectrum of contemporary concerns, from health, self-actualization, and development of intelligence to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and much more. In these pages: · Oprah Winfrey tells how she has offered TM to everyone on her staff. · Dr. Mehmet Oz explains the benefits of TM for heart health. · School principals describe the dramatically positive effect on their students when TM is introduced in the classroom. Interviews with celebrities as well as men and women of every age, background, and religion provide a lively testimonial to the efficacy of TM in making anyone’s life happier, healthier, and more creative.
