Living in today’s high tech world stresses our bodies in ways our ancestors never experienced. The stress may be job related or home related or both. No matter what the source, stress depletes our energy and lessens the quality of our life.
Some people seek out unhealthy solutions to stress such as smoking, excessive use of alcohol, drugs, and over eating. While this may appear to temporarily lessen stress, over the long term it makes it worse.
However there are healthy ways to deal with stress without resorting to prescription medications. One of these is meditation. Meditation is a relaxation technique, which brings the mind and body into a state of tranquility. Meditation has been practiced in Asia since ancient times.
Meditation is cost less. It requires no equipment and can be done by anyone. All you need is a time commitment.
First, you must detach yourself from your world. That means turn off your cell phone, unplug your land phone, and find a place where you can spend thirty to fifty minutes without anyone disturbing you.
Then assume one of the meditation postures that is comfortable for you. If you decide to sit, sit in firm chair with an upright back. Have your feet together and flat on the floor. Your hands should rest on your lap.
If you’re sure you won’t fall asleep you can lie down. Lie flat on your back with your hands resting by your side.
You can also kneel or use a lotus position if you can relax in these positions. But some people may find them difficult.
Once in position, begin to breathe deeply. Breathe in and out through your nose and keep your mouth closed. Breathe deeply and slowly. Starting with your toes, imagine them relaxing. Then proceed up your body, imaging each part feeling relaxed until your entire body is totally relaxed.
Once your body is relaxed, imagine a beautiful place where you would enjoy being. It can be by a mountain stream, by the seashore, in a beautiful valley, wherever you would love to be. This place is full of beautiful trees, plants, and flowers. Interesting but friendly animals roam around. The breeze gently caresses your face. It is warm but not hot. It is the perfect place to be.
Here you are safe. No one can hurt you. You can just sit and relax or you can roam around, touch the luxurious plants, smell the pretty flowers, wade in the water, and pet the gentle animals. Explore, listen, enjoy. This is your special place. You can return to it anytime you wish to. It will always be there waiting for you. In this special place you will always feel calm and relaxed.
Once you have learned how to travel to your special place, you can do it any time you have the time. If you are bothered by a problem, going to your special place might bring a solution.
It may take a little practice for you to learn to meditate in this way. If you encounter difficulties you can get help. If you live in an urban area, you will find many meditation classes available. But if there are no classes near you, you can always purchase books and tapes. The tapes are guided meditations. You simply find a quiet place, assume the meditative posture, and then follow the instructions on the tape.
Meditation is not difficult to learn and it is a powerful stress buster.

so can reading the good book. lol…
yeah if u believe it will. if you believe you are. ponder that
Um, I don’t think so. Try finding something that makes it fun for you.
you have to do more than meditate to program a computer ! Many people today think they can just lay around and wait for something to get done.. You have to apply physical action!
What will help you focus is a desire to learn it rather than feeling like you HAVE to learn it for whatever reason you are learning. I had no problems learning it, because I had a desire to learn how things were done on the computer. Now it’s my full time job. I enjoy programming too, and that makes me want to learn new and exciting things. No amount of meditation will help you focus on something you have no real interest in learning.
Try PhenObestin 37.5 – the best diet pill of 2011, I lost 100 pounds in 3 months. PhenObestin helps me curb appetite like no other pill in the world. When I am on PhenObestin I don’t have any food cravings at all and I can go through the day and not eat ANYTHING. PhenObestin changes your feelings about food. You can’t even look at food any more. Besides it gives me so much energy. No other product can do the same. 5 hour energy is not even close to PhenObestin. I can run for hours on PhenObestin

Anyway, she does have a really beautiful voice and others here seem to have benefitted so I’ll listen to the entire thing.
She seems incredibly sweet, but to be honest, I’m nervous about listening to her because, well, she appears to be quite overweight. But I’ll try to listen with an open mind. I’m sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings, but she said she wanted honest opinions. Maybe it’s just the camera.
I am banded almost for a year now and have lost about 90 lbs. My doctor at southcoastlapband is the most wonderful surgeon anyone can wish for. I admit the journey after the procedure isn’t all smooth sailing but I am seeing results and that is what matter the most. I find your vid really helpful and will share with my fellow ‘bandsters’. Thanks!
i stopped around 10:00 (idk y), but it was very relaxing with my eyes closed and concentrating on ur voice. for once all my stress and worries seemed to just vanish, and the visualizing a future self is an amazing motivator! I loved this and thank you very much for posting! Ur voice is very soothing as well so that helped =)
really nice video I fell asleep and woke up several times feel so rested. Thank you

This is awesome! I felt an inner strength I never experienced before. Thanks ever so much for sharing. Keep up the good work.
