One common fear of most people all over the globe is the fear of flying. People who fear flying tends to become very paranoid during a flight and may cause them to have uncomfortable feelings, elevated anxieties, panic attacks, and even sleepless nights before the flight. Because of the growing awareness for the need to solve this fear, many ways of how to overcome fear of flying has been brought about, one of them is meditation for flight.

Meditation for flying is a form of meditation that helps a person overcome the fear of flying. It is still performed the same way as some meditations may be done, in fact, it is in the form of  cd’s that one can listen to while flying or before flying. A lot of these cd’s are available in stores. Airlines have even started to have them available during the flight, where one can just listen to it and enjoy the rest of the flight worry free.

An airline who has introduced meditation for flight into their flights is Virgin Atlantic Airline. To help you relax during the flight to London, Virgin Atlantic now offers an in-flight meditation program, called Meditainment. The meditation for flight program, designed by Meditainment Ltd, consists of a series of meditative journeys through the audio in-flight entertainment system. Meditative journey choices include journeys to a Desert Island, Summer Meadow, the Moon or the Arctic.

If you have a fear of flying, Virgin Atlantic Airline offers an audio session with Flying Without Fear’s psychoanalyst David Landau.

There are other forms of meditation for flights, which would include books, meditation sessions, online meditations, and many more.

With the Holiday season fast approaching and countless number of people flying, if you happen to be a bit anxious before your flight, remember, the main thing is for you to let go and get rid of any stressful, mind consuming fear of flying.

I figured if I was, maybe others were too.

So I recorded a quick “Pick me up” audio and shared it on AudioBoo.

You can listen to it by clicking this link: =>http://audioboo.fm/boos/183747-friday-free-audio-come-alive

And it turns out I was right! It seems a lot of others need a little “Pick me up” also.

I also received numerous Thank you’s on twitter and facebook for the audio.

The one underlining theme in all the Thanks You’s were that the 3:30 minute audio was good, but just not long enough.

Thinking of this, I went back to reading “Thought Vibration” by William Walker Atkinson, (it’s out of print, but I was fortunate enough to find a copy in the public domain), this is where I got the original idea to do the quick pick me up audio. But as I was re-reading I realized it went deeper than that.

In this particular chapter I was reading Mr Atkinson was talking about “Really Living!” About grabbing every task and every moment and making sure one is alive so they can become successful!

Breathing in new life, energy and strength not just for waking up, but for waking up with a whole brand new outlook on life!

After a brief session of meditation,  I knew what I had to do!

If you are looking for an easy way to change your outlook on life and the way you view tasks at hand, this new audio I just recorded is for you!

Learn how to Come Alive and change your thoughts just by listening.

Just by slipping on your headphones, or earbuds you can listen to some Life Living hypnotic affirmations that will seep into your unconscious and help propel you to the next level.

What if after you started listening to this audio you:

Visualize yourself being the top in your company.

Or doing better than you originally thought was possible.

Imagine being the guy or gal that Really lives!

It’s all here for you simply by listening to our newest audio.

And here’s the best part…. all for only One US Dollar! (For a limited time. This offer ends Sept 30th 2010)
Sorry, the $1.00 special is now over.

BUT WAIT!

You can still get this track for the unbelievable low price of only $9.00!

This track is easily a $20.00 value. But it can be yours right now for only $9.00

So, click on the Buy Now button below, download it immediately, sit back, listen and take action on your new life!

Come Alive!

I have more than 300 fr.ee gifts for you today.

These are brought to you courtesy of a pair of my
favorite marketers who are running a massive “mind
and body” self improvement giveaway right now:

http://selfhelpgiftsgiveaway.com/giveawayevent/go/685

The Self Help Gifts Giveaway event is definitely
one of the better giveaways that I have seen
recently, and I think you will really enjoy
what they have to offer.

I have checked the site for quality and it is
a thumbs up from me. Self esteem expert Dr. Joe
Rubino and fitness professional Carolyn Hansen
have teamed up to produce a smorgasbord of
self help gifts for you to choose from.

So what will you find once you get across to
the event?

I saw downloadable ebooks, memberships, videos
and audios, software, and e-courses.

These were on topics as diverse as parenting,
relationships, health and fitness, stress management
(always a good one!), working from home, business
management, confidence building, and quite
a few other self help categories.

The gifts cost nothing simply because events of
this type are run with the aim of introducing
you to a host of vendors of self improvement
products who you would otherwise probably
never get to come in contact with.

Here are some of my favorites, glanced while
checking out the site (some perhaps tongue
in cheek, I don’t know yet, but they had me
intrigued):

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #1

Dr. Pat Allen and Don Schmincke’s:
THE TRUTH ABOUT MEN

What the good doctors say: “The Truth about Men
will set you free… But first it’ll p*** you off!
Discover how a man’s mind works during intimacy.
Is dating often frustrating or painful? He’s not
doing it to you deliberately. Get the upper hand
by knowing what men really think about on a date.”

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #2

Ty Bennett’s: BOB BURG INTERVIEW

Says Ty: “Listen as I interview New York Times
bestselling author Bob Burg about how Go-Givers
Sell More. If you want to increase your influence,
your income and your impact with people – these
60 minutes will change your life!”

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #3

Lourdes Elardo-Gant’s:
HOW TO MANIFEST THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
WITH EASE, GRACE & JOY

Says Lourdes: “Follow my lead to magically manifest
a million dollar husband – I did it and you can too!”

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #4

Meridith Alspektor’s:
CHIEF EXECUTIVE MOMMY

Says Meridth: “You can master the balance between
motherhood and being a moneymaker. This is a book
for moms or women who would like to achieve a certain
level of financial success, but are looking for the
know-how, the mindset, and the right tools to find
balance in their lives.”

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #5

Jim Donovan’s:
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL

Got to at least love the title of this one!

Says Jim Donovan: “Published in multiple languages
in more than 20 countries this book  has been read
by hundreds of thousands of people throughout the
world, ordinary people, like you and me, who simply
want a better and more satisfying life.”

====================================

Really, this event has something for everyone.

So create a new folder on your hard drive and
get ready to start filling it with gifts that
speak to you as you move through the pages
of the giveaway.

Remember, there are hundreds of gifts to check
out, and they are all 100 percent f.ree. But
the event will only be running for a few days
so you will want to visit it before they close
their doors.

Here’s the URL to the giveaway event again:

Have fun!

Get’s kinda boring doesn’t it?

Ever wish that ride could be different?

The other day I took the incredible journey of 1000 hands clapping, and guess what, I didn’t even leave my office.

As you know, I am a hypnotist, and have put together some pretty good meditation audio’s that many people have written back and told me in testimonials how the audio’s have helped them fall asleep, reduced their stress, even have built up their confidence.

But this journey I took the other day was courtesy of Lawrence Ball and his 1000 Hands Clapping Audio blew me away!

You see, Lawrence is a musical renaissance man; composing, performing and improvising his often meditative, sometimes mathematical music. He has performed in 11 countries, and has collaborated on 3 projects with Pete Townshend, including a double album “Method Music” due to be released on Navona Records fall of 2010.

The music of his 1000 Hands Clapping is like none other!

You don’t have to check this site out… http://www.meditationalmusic.net/1000handsclapping.html But what would it be like for you if you were able to listen to this audio, and remove the outer world “buzz” from your mind, and talk to your silent, deeper inner self?

To me, it was worth it. Go find out for yourself. http://www.meditationalmusic.net/1000handsclapping.html

Meditation techniques come in various forms, but the bottom line is, whatever method you chose, it will help you channel your thoughts. By meditating, you can focus your thoughts and that shuts out distractions that could be harmful and preventing your sleep.

Related to meditation is self-hypnosis, which can take the form of repeating words or suggestions in your mind, over and again. This repetition may help lull you into slumber. Visualization, which is engaging in another type of mental journey without outside distraction, is another way to try to relax yourself prior to sleep.

These de-stressing techniques can help you slow the body’s processes down, helping to create a bridge between your waking and sleeping moments. Easing into sleep can only be helpful if it works on a consistent basis. As discussed before,  a sleep journal can help you stay on the proper path.

I have found these two meditation methods to be very calming and soothing for the mind and soul.

Once you find a comfortable  position for you, you can use spoken or silent mantra, or listen to soothing music or sound, or focus on a candle, burning incense or other small objects, or just simply breathe. Breathing should be natural and through the nose.  Head is tilted slightly downward and the body is completely relaxed. Recognize the thoughts you may have without judgment and bring back concentration to the original object of focus.

Remember that these meditation methods have no goals, there is no bad or good meditation, there is just simply meditating.

Lying Meditation
This is one of the meditation methods that is simple and can be done upon bedtime or prior to a nap, by simply lying down and focusing the attention on breath.  Breathing should be into and out of the lower abdomen.  Concentrate on inhaling and exhaling, or counting the breaths.  Focus on a spot on the ceiling or the sky if you’re outdoors.  Recognize your thoughts without judgment and then bring  your concentration back to breathing.

Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
These meditation technique involve finding a comfortable sitting position for you.  You can sit comfortably either in a chair with your feet flat on the ground or crossed legged on the floor (left leg over right) using a cushion under the buttocks for comfort and to prop up the hips higher than the knees.  In either case, the back should always be straight but without straining.  The palms of the hands are open and can be placed on the thighs, palms up or you can bring the hands together, left palm on top of the right palm, thumbs barely touching each other, resting comfortably against the lower abdomen.

Have you tried these two meditation methods? If so, love to hear your comments.

If not, give them a try, and come back and let me know how they worked for you.

Standing Meditation

This  meditation methods is a great exercise to practice proper breathing,  a simple way to concentrate and a great way to regain your proper breathing techniques similar to the way we used to breathe naturally as infants.

Stand comfortably with your spine straight and feet about shoulder distance apart, opening the left hand and placing the thumb on your belly button so the palm of the hand is against the lower abdomen, then place you right hand on top of left in the same manner. Breathe slowly and feel the lower part of your abdomen expand and naturally pushing away your hands outward your belly. Hold the breath for four seconds and then exhale slowly, feeling your lower abdomen contracting inward as the air is released.

Recognize the thoughts without judgment and bring back the concentration to your breath.

Walking Meditation

Here is another meditation methods that is a very effective way of exercising and meditating. Simply walk at a natural and comfortable pace, concentrate on the sole of your feet touching making contact with the earth. Focus on the spot in the center of your foot just at the forward part of the arch. With each step feel this spot making contact with the earth and extending into the earth, next foot after the other. Allow normal, relaxed breathing through the lower abdomen.

Recognize thoughts without judgment bringing back the concentration to the sole of the foot or your breath.

Please practice these two meditation methods, and share your thoughts with me.

Remember, bookmark this page, and keep an eye out for a couple more meditation methods I will share with you shortly.

You know if you do, generally there are a significant amount of meditation techniques that one can choose from. Meditation doesn’t always mean without exception having to sit down in a crossed legged position and your eyes not open, it can be as uncomplicated as going for walks and standing upright.

Anytime that we completely focus on something other than our own thought processes, we are already meditating. We can meditate while we walk, move, lie down, stand, sit, or even while silent or speaking. Plus there no perfect position for meditation, whatever is most comfortable for a person that would allow him or her to meditate is all right.

There are two kinds of meditation, moving meditation and still meditation.

Moving meditation involves movements of the body such as Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, dancing, walking and jogging. In this case rhythmic series of movements and the mind concentrates or is centered on breath. Thoughts are recognized without judgment and then our focus goes back to breath. Focus can also be on the movement itself, the flowing internal energy from the body, the external environment, or even in the case of dancing, the connection to music.

In still meditation on the other hand, our bodies and minds are unmoving. Sitting, standing, or lying meditation focuses on anything; breath, counting, a mantra (sound), candles, incense, a rock, a spot on the ground or ceiling, the birds, the sky, anything your heart desires. Thoughts are recognized without judgment, then let go, and concentration is brought back to what you were originally focused on. Breathing is through the nose in a natural unforced manner.

That’s all the meditation news for today.
