Comprises
of 4 deepening levels, each taking you into deeper meditation
through the use of brainwave
entrainment and synchronization and a 2500 year old technique.
A 5th multilevel recording and our CD for releasing negative
emotions. This is a complete set designed to prepare you mind
for meditation, focus your mind on the technique and take
you down to deeper levels of conscious awareness.
Our meditation
techniques are base on the 2,500 year old Vipassana meditation
method developed by the Historical Buddha Gotama. We also
recommend the ten-day residential course offered at www.dhamma.org.
These courses are provided free of charge and are covered
by donations of previous course participants. The course is
also non-sectarian.Whole Mind Strategies is not affiliated
with the above organization in any way. Although any form
of meditation is better than none at all, and all meditation
will bring increased well-being to the person meditating,
there is no substitute for the grounding that such a course
can offer. The CD set was designed for those people who don’t
have the time or inclination to take such a course, or for
those who have taken such a course and want to improve the
focus and depth of their meditations. Our aim is to compliment
the historical vipassana techniques taught by the Buddha with
modern technology through brain
wave entrainment and synchronisation, to develop deeper
more focused levels of meditation in a much shorter time frame.
The Buddha
concluded 2500 years ago the physical body was made up of
tiny particles that vibrate at different frequencies, and
only over the past half century has science come to the intellectual
understanding that this is true. The entire Universe is made
up of subatomic particles that rapidly rise and pass away,
in a constant state of change. Every year over 98% of all
the atoms in the body have been exchanges. Every five days
the lining of the stomach is replaced, the skin every month,
after 3 years you would be hard pressed to find an atom that
is a part of you now, which would still be considered yours,
this happens with such rapidity that the body appears to change
little, We identify with the whole, seeing not the microscopic
but constant changes, you are not the person you were three
years ago. As Dr Deepac Chopra said, your body is like a flame,
constantly metabolising new material. The flammable matter
and oxygen necessary for its combustion must be continually
renewed. The smoke and gasses released are changing with every
moment, and yet the flame appears to be changeless over time.
> The process of creation, maintenance and dissolution are
simultaneously at work in a flame, and in the body.
The Universe
is in a constant state of change and being a part of the Universe
so are we. Positive energy creates a roaring beacon of light,
negative energy in like poring water onto the flame, we start
to extinguish the very essence of who we are, we become like
a candle at the whim of the winds, the winds of change. Only
by embracing and accepting do we transmute the negative to
the positive, from fear to love, and this can be done at the
point between sensation arising in the body, and reaction
to it. We have all heard the old saying, when you start to
feel angry count to ten before responding. There is wisdom
in this. Without reaction to sensations, the sensations are
given no power to multiply, and therefore must start to disperse
and we come out of suffering. Allowance and observation of
sensations without reaction is the key to this meditation.
When
we react to sensations through our thoughts and actions we
multiply them. The seeds of these reactions are often subconscious
beliefs established when we were young. When these seeds are
planted in the fertile ground of reaction, they will grow
to give fruit and from this fruit, further seeds of the same
type are then planted increasing our suffering as they too
come forth to bare fruit.
If we
can be aware of these sensations without reaction to them,
to just observe them with equanimity, the fertile ground for
their growth is removed and they begin to whither and die.
Through
concentrated meditation and practice we can learn to feel
sensations arise and pass away in the body, when we observe without
reaction, the sensation passes away and the fruit is eradicated.
Just like when we stop eating and the body then uses up it
stores of fuel, so the mind brings forth its stores of subconscious
fruits in the way of sensations, and without reaction to them,
we eradicate them one by one and come out of our conditioned
suffering to find freedom and happiness.
The course
is designed in levels that take the meditator deeper by lowering
the frequencies for brain entrainment, and with lower carrier
waves for each level. On occasion, some meditators using this
type of product can feel periods of overwhelm or irritability,
this also happens in meditation courses and therapy as the
subconscious brings forth its fruits. This is a good thing
so long as we recognise it for what it is and don’t
react to it. These are opportunities for the greatest growth.
We include a “releasing” CD in the pack that has
no brainwave entrainment, to let go of these feelings should
they arise. If these feelings arise it can often follow the
most blissful of meditations and we suggest a few days using
the releasing CD and returning to the meditation CD’s
when the feelings resolve. Jumping to higher levels before
you are ready and multiple listening in a single day can also
cause this.
Headphones
are required, and headphones that handle ultra low frequencies
are best for deeper levels. Find a quiet place where you won’t
be disturbed. Any meditating posture, sitting in a comfortable
chair or just laying down will be fine. You may tend to fall
asleep if lying down, until your mind becomes used to the
input. |
