Living Life as a Question

Many of the questions and concerns in the satsangs or spiritual gatherings I lead come in a similar form: How do I get or keep a particular experience? How do I get or keep a sense of awakeness or expansion or openness or freedom or loving kindness or Presence? Or if worldly concerns are the issue, the question is the same: How do I get or keep more health, more wealth, more comfort, more security, more romance? Another form these questions take is: How do I avoid falling asleep or feeling stuck or being contracted or being sick or losing love? They’re good questions. There’s nothing wrong with them. They’re real for the person who’s asking them.

Within each of these questions is the assumption that you need to do something-you need to get or keep or avoid something. Right there, in that assumption, is our suffering. The effort to get or keep or avoid any experience is what makes life miserable, difficult, dis-easeful.

Three Tips to Quiet Your Mind

If you are not overachieving and extremely busy in today’s society, you are the exception and not the norm. We are all guilty of this; we overextend, overachieve, and overstress ourselves to the point of breaking. Little do we realize, however, that we are hurting our body by hurting our mind.

The Art of Gratitude

It is so easy to be upset when things do not go our way. From the moment we spill our coffee, lock our keys in the car, and forget our lunch, a spiral of circumstances can set us off into a tailspin of negativity. However, we can choose to stay in a state of discontent and let that dictate our day, or we can be grateful for the other things in our lives even if they are not present in front of us right now.

Did you ever notice that when something nice happens, we tend to smile for a moment and then move on? However, when something goes wrong, we feel the need to tell everyone and anyone that will listen. It is in those exact moments of discontent that we need to focus on what we are grateful for, and it is then and only then that we will pull ourselves up from discontent.

The Truth Behind Brainwave CDs

Everybody in the world of self-development agrees on one simple thing:

Meditation is good!

The benefits are truly enormous: less stress, greater relaxation levels, improved mind power, more energy, a stronger immune system, self-enlightenment, less required sleep, and more.

But how many of us REALLY stick to a strict meditation schedule? And remember, you're talking HOURS each day if you want the greatest benefits.

Let's be honest: in the modern world, people just don't have TIME.

Until now, that is.

We've all heard about brainwave meditation CDs before. Holosync is perhaps the best known example.

Long story short, brainwave meditation CDs basically contain specially-created sounds. When listened to with headphones, these sounds help to influence your brainwaves -- a process known as "brainwave entrainment." These sounds basically take your brainwaves down to a low frequency state -- similar to that achieved after years of meditation practice.

By listening to these CDs each day, you can quickly begin enjoying the many great benefits of meditation -- yet without the need for endless years of strict practice.

Meditation for cheats? Pah -- I hope so!

The problem, however, is that most brainwave meditation CDs simply don't work.

I've tried Holosync, Optimindzation, Hemi-Sync, and many others. Yes, the science behind the technology is infallible. However, each of these uses boring-sounding audio recordings, and require at least one hour listening a day. Many, especially Holosync, also cost thousands to complete the course, and require many years of practice. Technically, they also only employ one mode of brainwave entrainment -- a fatal error in the world of brainwave technology.

But among the rubble, there's one diamond that - at least for me -- stands out above the crowd.

It's called the Brain Evolution System -- or "BrainEv" -- and it's been causing waves in the industry since it's launch back in 2006.

It brings about all the benefits of true meditation -- less stress, greater relaxation, increased brain power, sharper thinking, emotional mastery, a boost in energy, heightened creativity, even improved interpersonal relationships. And it does it without the shortcomings of its competitors.

BrainEv is a 6-CD system that contains arguably the most beautiful audio recordings the self-development world has ever heard. It only requires 30 minutes of listening each day, which you can do as you fall asleep, or by waking up 30 minutes earlier than normal -- meaning it doesn't impact on your hectic schedule. You also only need to listen 6 times a week. The entire program also costs just a fraction of its competitors.
