By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - You are probably totally unaware how much awareness of yourself and your world, or should I say, lack of awareness affects your life and the outcomes you are creating. For most of us life unfolds lacking direction because we have not yet learned to control and direct our inner world, or thoughts consciously.
Success in life depends on your ability to be happy with life; and your ability to be happy with your lot depends to a large extend on the way you see the world. How you see ... Tags: self awareness, financial freedom, trading, eft, Buddhism, positive psychology

By: Tom Ball | - How to choose a meditation technique
Why is the Buddha smiling? Because it's finally happened: meditation is mainstream.
Of course, the true "Buddha mind" finds reason to smile from within and is said to be unfazed by such spacetime frivolities as cultural trends, but surely the "enlightened" among us, whoever they are, must be encouraged that meditative practices are being taken up in boardrooms of corporate America, taught at YMCAs, introduced to scho ...

- China And Buddhism - The Way We Were
By: Derek Dashwood | - While Indian Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, died in BC 486 his teachings did not reach into China until AD 286. As usual this journey was a long and difficult route.

- Meditation And Enlightenment: How To Discover Who You Truly Are!
By: Tenzin Palmo | - Some believe that religion is all hokey.

You do not have to follow the rules, but if you do, you will find yourself understanding who you truly are, which means you can attain true enlightenment.

- Darkness Visible: Recapitulation
By: ross heaven | - Tibetan Bon shamans believe that we are already one year old when we are born.

Their feelings and sensations are carried in the egg and sperm and then in the life force of the mother's blood. As a consequence, we are all born with certain predispositions, ...

- Seeing The Nature Of Reality Through Buddhist Meditation
By: Copthorne Macdonald | - The perennial philosophy "nondual" spiritual traditions (such as Nisargadatta's Vedanta, and Tibetan Buddhism's Dzogchen) hold that existence involves a monistic, enduring, unchanging, absolute reality and a dualistic, ephemeral, constantly-changing relative reality. Through the practices that I describe in my book Toward Wisdom, I too have come to see that this is the way it is. Describing the situation in words has always been tricky, but I found that certain "information age" concepts clarify ...

- The 5 Biggest Myths About Meditation
By: Mary Rosendale | - 1. It's relaxing.
This is a dangerous myth because people expect meditation to be like slipping into a hot tub. When they experience discomfort they think it's not working or they're not doing it right and they give up. In fact, it's often not relaxing, at least not initially. In the beginning meditation is like exercise; if it doesn't hurt you're not doing it right. This puts off a lot of people right from the start. They've taken the odd Yoga class where you lie on the floor, c ... Tags: meditation, fear, stress, reduce stress, Buddhism, Life Coach, overwhelmed, stuck,
