Transcendental meditation, on the other hand, tends to be more vocal although still very introspective.

Buddhist meditation involves focusing on your breathing. As you concentrate on your breath you build a picture in your mind of the air filling your lungs and travelling in and out of your body. You keep your focus on your breathing throughout the meditation period. You can focus on an image or item if you want. It is essentially the same as breathing meditation. Transcendental meditation involves chanting different sounds and is one of the more vocal meditation methods. It involves concentrating on and visualising a sound as you chant it. Zen meditation is usually linked to Buddhist meditation. It involves introducing a thought (called a koan) that you think about while meditating and concentrating on your breathing.

Lucid dreams are dreams you are having, but you are aware that they are dreams and can actually control them. You are aware of every move you make, and the things you say. You decide where you want to go, what you want to do, what you want to say and who you want to be with.

There are no limits to what you can experience through lucid dreams. You can be the star of a romantic fantasy novel, or high action adventure, you can control the outcome or change the endings to what makes you happiest.

The advantage of lucid dreams over normal dreams is obvious; you control them! They can be so vividly real that you may even have to do checks to be sure that you are really dreaming and not awake.

One way to make sure that you are dreaming is to attempt reading a book or paper. If you are dreaming your words are sure to change and make reading impossible. If you can’t read then it’s a lucid dream.

Someone you want to be with may be impossible in real life, but in a lucid dream, you where anything is possible, you can be sitting and talking with a loved one that has passed or a guy you saw at the subway station.

In lucid dreams you can decide the kind of events that can happen. Let’s say you are dreaming that you are with a person you desire to be with. In your dream that person can smile at you and even touch you. In fact in your dream, that person can do anything you want him to do!

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.

You can begin by doing some dream recall everyday. Each day try to recall the dreams that you had in the night. You need to remember them to the last possible detail. It’s a great idea to keep some paper and pen handy to record your dreams. In the beginning you may not recall all the details. That’s not a problem. However, with constant practice, you will find dreams repeating themselves. This will enable you to completely record your dream. Make this a habit and soon you will have all your dreams recorded and can refer to them when you want.

Lucid dreaming is a great tool for writers. You can actually dream about all the characters, the plot and the way you want your story line to move. You can use lucid dreaming for expressing all your dormant desires and manifesting them in reality.

Try to recall everything you can about your dream, go back to sleep and, if you can, return to where you were before you woke up and you will continue to dream. The dream will occur more than once, so you will have the opportunity to recall more each time it does occur. Recalling more each time you try.

If you wake a couple hours before your normal time, this is often when lucid dreaming happens, much like day dreaming where it seems you are awake the whole time, but you have actually been asleep.

Techniques, such as self-hypnosis can sometimes help you to recall vividly your lucid dreams, but many people find recalling lucid dreams easy to do.

Another quick way of experiencing lucid dreams is to use a modern technique known as binaural beats. This involves using unique frequencies to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain which will automatically put your brainwaves in a frequency which corresponds to the state of lucid dreaming.

The big hullabaloo from Roland Emmerich’s film 2012, and all the disaster films we’ve been seeing for the last 50-60 years or so is scaring the heck out of viewers. So badly are they scared of the end that they are watching the same movies of disaster, over and over, with different actors, different titles, and different producers – all aimed to scare you and empty your pockets.

Do you think the world is coming to an end? The World Isn’t Coming To An End, it’s just Hollywood, trying to make a buck.

Let’s get real. Let’s discuss some of what’s going on:

1. Rumor: The World Will End With Planetary Alignment and the repositioning of the Earth along the Galactic Equator …. they are nuts! The phenomena of placement of the stars and galaxies in space is not new. These things have occurred before, and it wasn’t the end of the world. Actually, the date predicted, Winter Solstice, 2012 is not as significant as other astronomical phenomena happening before this. This is just fear-mongering of the formerly unemployed ‘ of the world writers’ with nothing better to do than create movies to scare the bejesus out of little kids.

2. The Mayan Prophesy says the world is coming to an end. There is no known prophesy that the world is coming to an End and whoever said that should know that it can’t be. The records of the Maya civilization were effectively destroyed, like all other Meso-American histories by the Conquering Spanish, and what was kept – was kept in secret archives to keep the truth away from the public because it would destroy the Catholic Church. The evidence indicated that the majority of the Meso-American population was, in fact, the lost tribes of Israel. This was written by Franciscan Monks at the time of the invasion, and British and other archeologists later. The actual Mayan Prophesy was simple – ‘Live naturally, in natural time, or your biosphere (Earth – our mother ship) would not survive. We’ll we did it. No lying about that. For the past umpteen years, we have been just like conquerors, raping, murdering, and killing mother earth. OOPS! I didn’t do it – you didn’t do it – the politicians allowed it – all for greed. Oil, Gold, Silver – rape the earth suffers the consequences. The end date of the Mayan Calendar had nothing to do with the end of the planet, it had to do with the end of an era.

2a. When the Earth was first inhabited there was something of a 3 degree axis tilt and the planet was green, and water blue, and life was abundant. What by the name of God have we done to our mother?

2b. And now, YIKES, we’re at 23 degree wobble now. Yes, something is happening, changes are occurring, but it’s not the end. It scares people to think that changes are coming – people fear change. CHANGE IS GOOD!

2c. Will people will die? Of course, people are already dying. Yes, we’ve burned fossil fuels, destroyed our air, cut down our forests, created deserts where there were none before and previously the planet cleansed itself with great floods. People are dying, we are more aware since Hurricane Katrina, that things are not right due to global warming, and Tsunamis, great floods, and thousands more deaths in countries where floods were a rarity.

2d. Species are dying. Faster than ever before species are disappearing. One indication that might be considered, or two, are the frog population which began disappearing a few years back, and the bees. We are impacting nature and we don’t step lightly – our footprint is huge and visible, and we are destroying all of life without mistreatment of our mother.

2e. Now there are more diseases, more horrible, more incurable – a sick society and planet produce all forms of diseases.

3. It’s human nature – It’s obvious that the nature of the human being is to conquer. The continuous development of warfare, atomic, and nuclear weaponry is solely aimed at the destruction of mankind and hurting the planet. Previously, we had been the only big bully playing with nukes, now every schoolyard bully has them and someone is likely to play war games just to demonstrate my ‘thingie’ is bigger than your ‘thingie’.

3a. Human Belief in Ancient Religions – I must mention this, because this is the greatest manipulation of human beings on Earth. Sorry, priest, ministers, rabbis, I honor you all for what you know, but your DOGMA is not helping the situation. Each one of you has chosen an individual branch as part of the Tree of Life, and none of you are on the Expressway to God. Please stop telling your people they are sinners – as men of God, many of you have been caught with your own pants down around your ankles and some honey taking some money for some SINFUL and LUSTFUL experience you needed to have. It may not have been you, but we all know of whom I speak. I am not judging you – just stop judging others and stop playing the blame game which results in guilt. As you know – guilt has absolutely no survival value, it is responsible for many illnesses that do not resolve and result in death. Stop guilting others, or …

3b. Did You Know That Humans Mistreat Each Other and Mother Earth Too – imagine all the drilling, the cutting of trees, the burning of fields, everything normal and beautiful of earth destroyed by greed to steal the resources and be billionaires, all at the cost of our mother. Imagine our planet as a great big fluffy dog, filled with life. And the dog feels the burring of something drilling into it – just like a flea. And another, burning like burning the trees – the dog begins to scratch and shake fiercely and the fleas fall off. You got a parachute for when this happens to us?

4. The Mayan Calendar – Interestingly enough does end on the Winter Solstice, 2012. Why? Not because it’s the end of the world – it’s just the end of the 5th Cycle of Life on the Planet. The 6th Cycle that begins immediately thereafter and is called the Age of Enlightenment. It’s sounds like an exciting time to be alive – so get prepared!

WELCOME – this is reality.

Many of us will fall off, many of us will die. Those who are not prepared, and those who think they are better or more greater, more important or more powerful than Mother Earth that we live on, will suffer.

Virgin Airline’s Richard Branson has made his fleet of Intergalactic Space ships to take the rich and wealthy off the planet, just like Roland Emmerich has set of Arks in his movie. Branson’s ticket price is much cheaper.

I’M STAYING RIGHT HERE ON EARTH

In 1987, the Harmonic Convergence, as written about by Dr. Jose Arguelles, and my participation in it – by travels through endless ruins, culminating at the El Tule Tree in Oaxaca in Mexico, spoke the prophesy that we had 25 years left of life as we knew it. We must return to natural, non-destructive living. We blew it!

Now the cards are laid out on the table. Natural disasters are not done by nature but by those politicians who paid no heed to the warnings.

What can the scenario possibly be — to cause the end of life as we know it? Who knows, asteroids, meteorites, some crazy Anti-Semitic Iranian ex-president who stole the presidency from the people in order to try to wipe out the State of Israel, some angry Korean president who is dying because of his anger at the United States over a 60 year old situation, or errors by our own major powers in their thinking that nuclear energy is stable enough to survive what our earth going through with hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, and worse. All the time our earth, which I’d like to assimilate it to be life this this big furry yellow dog who it tired of all the baggage she’s carrying and begins shaking off the fleas. The fleas are US!

Is it really possible for anyone to learn clairvoyance? To a certain extent, yes. To understand what we mean by this, we need to clarify what we mean by clairvoyance, and what we mean by being able to ‘learn’ it.

Part of the confusion comes from the fact that the term ‘clairvoyance’ has several different means, depending on who you ask. The most common definitions are remote viewing (being able to see things that are happening far away without the use of technology or the five human senses), or precognition (being able to see events happening in the future). At its most basic level, however, clairvoyance simply means being able to know information about a person, object, location, or event without using any of your five senses. Think of clairvoyance as a sixth sense.

True, some people do have extraordinary clairvoyant abilities, such as the ability to see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste something far away, or even to know things about the past or future that they couldnt possibly know through any other means. No one really know how this works. Science has not been able to document or explain these abilities. Although there are dozens of metaphysical explanations of these psychic abilities, no particular one has emerged as the dominant belief, and some explanations are even contradictory. One common element, however, seems to cut across all these different theories: people with extraordinary psychic abilities are simply born that way.

Can anyone learn to remote viewing or see the future? No. Can anyone learn to develop and hone their sixth sense? Yes.

Everyone has some degree of a clairvoyant sixth sense. Have you ever thought that you had a strong hunch or a strong feeling about a person, place, thing or situation? You might think that there was nothing wrong about it, but there was a feeling down there that did not want to be ignored. When you ignore your sixth sense in favor of logic or emotion, you’ll discover that you are weakening it.

When you are looking for scientific explanation, you’ll find that there are plenty of theories on why we develop hunches and instincts. Some people say that rather than being of supernatural, psychic or paranormal origin, it is in fact your subconscious mind picking up on cues that you are not aware of. Your subconscious mind, because it does not speak in words, will then convey these feelings and impressions to you in a way that will get the point across. This can be a valuable tool when you are looking at developing clairvoyance, because it can tell you to trust your subconscious.

Whether you believe that clairvoyance is based on brain neurochemistry or innate psychci ability is not something that matters all that much. All you need to accept is that it exists and that everyone has at least a little bit of it. Now all you need to do is to worry about training it up.

1. Improve Your Perception

The problem that many people run into is that they go through their day so very focused on their tasks that they never see anything else. There are so many small details that can tell us so much, but if you refuse to take the time to look, you’ll find that you are letting your sixth sense wither. When you go to improve your perception, you will be able to take in more of the world around you. There are definitely advantages to being aware, so take a moment to really look around yourself.

Don’t expect this to happen overnight though; you might be breaking the habit of a lifetime. Remember that you should start by slowing down a little bit and moving through your day in a more leisurely fashion. Second consider what distractions are a part of your day and remove them. This means that you should do things like turn off the radio when you are driving. When you don’t have anything distracting you, you’ll find that you are going to be more on target when it comes to looking at the things that are happening around you. This can be essential.

Finally, occasionally do a ‘mini-meditation’. This consists of closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and forcing yourself to relax. When you open your eyes again, you’ll be more aware of your surroundings. This only takes a few seconds, but you’ll be surprised by the difference it makes.

Method 2: Learn to Meditate

Consider making time every day to meditate for at least half an hour. Good meditation goes a long way towards clearing your conscious mind and letting the things underneath rise to the surface. You can communicate with yourself in a much better fashion and you’ll be more relaxed and more refreshed in the long run.

However, finding the time to meditate and to make sure that you are going to be getting the results that you need can be difficult. Just when you have everything set up the way that you want it to be, you’ll discover that you need to get up and do some cooking or that there is a call that you need to make. When you want to get out of the same cycle of thoughts that you have been, remember that you can use a focus and a mantra.

First, when you try to meditate, your senses distract you. Even sound you hear or thing you feel distracts you. Therefore, instead of trying to shut your senses down, give them something to keep them busy by staring at a focus. A candle flames makes a good focus. There’s not really a lot to see to distract you, yet the flame flickers and shifts just enough to keep you watching and your mind occupied.

Remember that your conscious mind never shuts down. There is always something that you are thinking about. Focus your thoughts with the use of a mantra, which is a phrase, a poem or even a prayer that you will repeat over and over again in you head. It can help you focus and it can clear your mind very well. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you can recite it without conscious thought. Some people will perform Hail Marys while other people prefer to use song lyrics that are inspirational to them. Take some time and really consider what might work for you.

Method 3: Just Trust Yourself

Finally, remember that you need to believe in yourself and trust yourself. Don’t doubt and don’t second guess yourself. Don’t say that your gut instincts must be wrong or that they are not important. Remember that the things that you feel, you feel them for a reason. What is your subconscious mind trying to tell you? Don’t let this message get left in the dark as you try to move forward.

Appreciate the fact that it is not going to be easy. Remember that the more listen to your instincts and the more you trust them, the happier you are going to be in general.

There are many questions and a lot of confusion as to whether there is a difference between a regular psychic reading and psychic medium reading. In fact, most people think that both methods are the same. Well, they are not. A psychic reading and a psychic medium reading are two concepts that have some characteristics that are alike, but they are not technically the same.

Communicating with the spirits of the after life is a psychic ability which is characterized by a psychic medium. We often seek to communicate with the ones who have gone before us, people we love who have passed away, and people who are very dear to us. A psychic medium has this special gift of being a medium of communication between the spirit world and the real world.

Every individual has a spirit guide. It is also a special gift of the psychic medium to be able to communicate with a person’s spirit guide, and ask them for advice, guidance, and a message for a certain person. Sometimes the psychic medium can even communicate with the spirit guide to help bring some form of healing or closure to a person’s spirituality.

People can seek a psychic medium to communicate with the spirits of loved one who has passed on. But also, people seek a psychic medium because a psychic medium can also give them a sneak peak of the future.

But if both a regular psychic reading and the psychic medium reading allows you to have a glimpse of the future, what sets them apart? This is usually where the confusion rises.

Yes, psychics can interpret past, present, and future. On the other hand, a psychic medium aside from knowing the past, present, and future, can communicate with spirits from the afterlife. In addition to this, these psychic mediums can incorporate the insights of your spirit guide and loved ones who have passed away, in the interpretation of your reading.

Introspectively, to narrow down everything for your much better understanding, you should look into what a psychic medium reading and psychic reading can and can’t do. If you want good advice, you could seek the advice of either of the two. If you want to know the past, current, and a sneak peak of the future, both will practically give you almost the same reading. But, if you want to communicate with the spirits from the afterlife, especially a loved one who has passed on and allow yourself to ask them for guidance, then you should consult a psychic medium reading.

Most psychics are clairsentient, claiaudient, and clairvonyant. These three psychic gifts enable them to read a person. However, not all psychics have the gift of mediumship. This is why a psychic medium is considered to be much more powerful and more knowledgeable.

Although countless people do not possess to have the credence in Astrology, particular identity types have been directly associated to having been conceived under definite signs of the zodiac. The zodiac is actually composed of 12 assemblage in the night sky that each fall in the boundary of arrangements of the planets. How an individual’s sign is ascertained is by when his date of birth falls in the year.

Though you do not accept that something is true in the validity of the existence of astrology, fairly small worthy of note aspects and make ups are combined by just about every single individual who is brought into life further down a precise and detailed zodiac sign. For those who do agree to take astrology as a well-founded way to uncover wide-ranging tendencies that something with decisive consequences have in store for individuals, reading a daily horoscope is an integral component of their daily customs and habits.

Even though the generalized dates have been established for the twelve signs, those time of birth which falls on the first or last days of a specific sign may find that they have more in similarities with people of the adjoining sign. These beginning and end days for the signs are being identified as cusps .Due to leap year which brings an addition day for a year which causes variances and the difference in the time zone of countries and places, it may be imperative to have a personal birth chart or horoscope cast, according to one’s actual birth date and time to determine which zodiac sign holds the expressed influence over an individual.

Though astrology is not a careful and exact science, it is extremely wonderful how strictly defined horoscopes can be when undertaken perfectly. Nobody is certain what influence the stars and all planets actually have over a person’s existence, but in a world where the whole thing is attached somehow, even though if it may seem to be just by the force of gravity, these stellar bodies do have a little consequence.

There are a whole lot of distinctively variable ways that the zodiac can have an influence over a person. The most mutual, determinate consequence of being born under any given sign lies in the human being’s definite disposition. Certain attributes are said to be mutual to individuals brought into life under an identical sign and different signs come into view to be more attuned with one another than others.

Many ancient societies believed the crystal skull was symbolic of life. The belief was in honouring humanity in the flesh and the embodiment of consciousness. Therefore you should not be surprised to know that the human body is a sensitive antenna system capable of receiving signals. When we come in to contact with a quartz crystal skull, the electro-magnetic energy waves we produce are received by the quartz.

Without seeing it through normal vision, a crystal skull increases its vibrational frequency when you use it for the higher good. This in turn boosts your vibrational tempo. However, all is not done! This signal is again, for a second time, picked up on by the quartz skull and it proliferates this even more when sending it back to you one more time. Your body is able to recognise this without you applying any conscious thought to doing so, and that is when your cellular system seizes the moment and voila … you are using the law of attraction in a very powerful way!

The properties of most objects is similar to that of which makes up the crystal skull, and this is how it can be used as a magnet to attract other matter you desire to you. It is like-attract-like, and it should not surprise you to know that is how the universal law of attraction works.

After you have loaded your quartz skull with your specific use you will find it has the ability to remember. This is why it is used for computer memory chips, although in a more refined way. The power of the quartz skull can also drive away downbeat thoughts that may permeate through to you from others.

When your energy centres are blocked and need to be cleared, charged and balanced you can use a crystal skull to set them right again, but it is advisable to become attuned to your quartz skull first. Some other uses of such a skull are specialised, and as the skull becomes more familiar with these tasks then it become more proficient at securing a successful outcome, especially in dream recollection and contemplation.

When fully activated, a crystal skull will counteract and protect you from negative energy on all levels. Quartz in any form is a powerful stone, but in the geometric shape of a skull it can help one reach personal and business goals and assist in your wishes coming true.

How it works has a lot to do with your positive vibrational output and the way you use the skull. Looking after it can pay big dividends, as quartz is a cosmic ‘computer’ – a living library. It is also a natural receiver and generator of psychic activity.

When you look closely at the inside of a quartz crystal skull you will see what is called inclusions, including veils and foils. These are filled with information and can connect to other portals and to other dimensions within the universe.

Look deep within the skull to discover its inherent beauty! The consciousness within a crystal skull will prepare and assist you in merging with what is called ‘skull consciousness’. Whoever becomes its guardian has a grand adventure ahead of them.

Anyone believing in the power of such a crystal carving could be said to be living in a dream world. However when you consider that life-size skulls made from natural quartz crystal can sell for up to 300,000 US dollars then this might make you less sceptical! Can owning one make you wealthy? Well there is only one way to find out!

Self-help guru Stephen Richards has been using mind power and the law of attraction for two decades. See many of the clear, natural quartz crystal skulls and other quartz crystal pieces on his web site. Get a totally unique version of this article from our article submission service

This day in age, people are turning to religion in droves. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism has embedded it’s ideology in the hearts and minds of millions globally. While all these religions deserve respect and tolerance, few in the west have a grasp on the complicated concept of Buddhism.

The end all and be all of online encyclopedias, Wikipedia grabs the first slot on a Google search for the term Buddhism and the breakdown reads like this: “Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit “the awakened one”). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.

He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada (“The School of the Elders”) and Mahayana (“The Great Vehicle”). Theravada, the oldest surviving branch, has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications, a third branch, Vajrayana, is recognized, although many see this as an offshoot of the Mahayana. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world.

Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million.” After living abroad in Asia for several years I have found that Buddhist cultures are more tolerant because the focus is on the ‘self’ and the meditation on the calming of the mind, concentrating on controlled breathing and the idea that meditation to bring one closer to peace is central to discovering one’s self.

If you have the opportunity to investigate the practice of Buddhism, I would highly recommend it. I’m not saying to take up the path and convert to a religion but the calming affect that is central to this religions concept will bring a peaceful serenity to your life that you may find useful. All in all respect and tolerance for all religious perspectives is something that people are beginning to make a conscious effort to practice and understanding ideas from various religions can teach us an appreciation that can bring us all closer together.
