Law of Attraction Manifestation Guided Meditation

Boards of Abraham/Hicks - Better And Better Earth

The chakras are energy centres that govern our physical and spiritual bodies. This guided meditation will activate your chakras through visualisation and spoken affirmations. 

Chakra meditation

Shankara’s Nirvana Shatakam, composed over 1200 years ago, is an embodiment of the “not this, not this” (neti, neti) teaching of Advaita Vedanta that can lead to the state of enlightenment, freedom and happiness. 
Importantly, although there are many “not this, not this” lines, every verse of this six verse classic ends in an affirmation, a declaration of what you really are, which balances and 
responds to the negations. These verses are a personal  declaration and celebration by Shankara of his own Self Realization.

Nine Clearing Statements (9 Mins)

Episode 1, 1 December 2014, Gautama Buddha’s First Truth

Gautama Buddha’s First teaching, the first of the Four Noble Truths, is that there is suffering.

Suffering is inescapable and manifests in three forms: the suffering of pain, the suffering of happiness and, the all pervasive suffering.
Through fully understanding this first teaching, and appreciating the true nature of our relationship with the world, we see how suffering is unavoidable and necessarily manifests in our lives.

Only then are we are able to seek a solution; firstly, through identification of its causes, the teaching of the Second Noble Truth.

Intro - Welcome to Buddhism Guide’s Audio blog, a contemporary look at Gautama Buddhist Teachings, from Karma Yeshe Rabgye.
      * Find out more at http://buddhismguide.org

[00:19] This episode: Gautama Buddha’s First teaching.
      * On the Four Noble Truths;
      * The foundation on which Buddhism is built.
     
[00:47] The First Noble Truth: There is suffering.
      * The definition of suffering;
      * A dissatisfaction, discontentment, an uneasy feeling running through our lives. 
      * Gautama Buddha stated that there are three types of suffering:
        1. The Suffering of pain - our daily, physical and mental suffering;
        2. The Suffering of happiness - the lurking, just around the corner suffering of the the sadness that comes from loss - the change of happiness;
        3. The all pervasive Suffering - a condition that exists because of how we perceive ourselves in relation to the world. You could say that our entire worldly experience is a definition of suffering that we can’t even see.

[03:50] How do we see ourselves in the world?
      * Separate: I’m here, and the world is outside of me. In other words as subject and object. We see ourselves as the solid, independent self.
      * This is not true, we are actually the coming together of 5 things.

[04:20] The Five Aggregates
      * So the way we look at things: subject and object, me and everything else, is in some way, the cause of our suffering and that will come back to us in the future.
      * Like eating a wonderful meal but not knowing it has been poisoned.

[04:56] So why did Buddha want us to know that we have suffering in our lives?
      * To help us understand we have a problem. If we don’t know we have a problem we will not look for a solution;
      * If we know we are suffering we will look for the causes of the suffering and a cure;
      * If we fully understand this First Truth we can move onto the the next Noble Truth - The causes of suffering.

[05:55] Outro
      * You can find more information about this subject in Karma Yeshe 
Rabgye’s books at http://buddhismguide.org/books/

4 Discovering the Inner Being

Another calm, slow and soothing relaxdaily background music instrumental. This smooth and peaceful music arrangement with piano and electric guitar has the power to help you get into a relaxed mood, but also to activate the creative part of your brain. Simply close your eyes and start daydreaming, thinking, reflecting, or even creating. Or, watch the beautiful scenery of California's coastline in the Big Sur area during a November day: https://relaxdaily.net/video-n060/

...Relaxdaily's background music instrumentals; slow, peaceful, atmospheric music that can be used as a soundtrack for multiple activities. Depending on your interest you might use my music in your relaxation music playlist, as yoga music or as meditation music (I know, this is not the ordinary music for meditation, but it works for many people). You might also use it as music while you're studying, doing homework, working (mentally, creatively), reading, writing, while thinking or reflecting, dreaming, reviewing, making future plans. Some use it as „sleep music" (though there might be better sleep music out there...). Call it chillout, ambient, New Age, instrumental, or background music -- this is not as much about a genre as it is about a feeling. A way of life. With the relaxdaily project, I try to take a little heat from our (generally) too busy lives. I try to deliver a soundtrack for you, when you feel the need for some positive, calming, liberating tunes.

Hope you enjoy my music, 
Michael (relaxdaily)

Slow, Calm, Soothing Instrumental - Easy Listening, Study, Relax Music - relaxdaily N°060

A unique meditation where we invoke within us the qualities of someone wise who we love and appreciate.

Morning Session with Dream Team Meditation

This is exactly 68 second music composition, consisting of four 17 second phrases. The 68 second cycle is repeated four times if you are willing to practice several sessions at a time.

Every 17 seconds there is a noticeable change to aid you keeping track of your focus. 

According to teachings of Abraham, when you keep consistent focus of attention on certain subject for 17 seconds - another thought of the same vibration is attracted. Staying focused further is going to add new thoughts to your vibration, raising its frequency until you cross the 68 seconds threshold, when your vibration becomes strong enough to affect matter.

Just practice this little concentration exercise and you will train your thought to be pure and consistent enough to produce physical changes.
