Much has been written on the subject. One method
taught is the "emptying of the mind". The approach taken here is often the
teaching of a Mantra. I know that you can achieve so very much in the
meditation state (my personal example of changing hatred, anger and revenge to
acceptance, cooperation, unconditional love and forgiveness), however the
method I used was directing the subconscious mind with the conscious mind in a
state of alertness. So what I am talking about here is active meditation
- actually doing something with your mind, using guided imagery. A
recent major scientific discovery revealed that the meditative state occurs in
a particular brain wave state called Theta.
This brain wave state can be deliberately or consciously trained and developed.
Previously, when people learned how to meditate they did not have a tangible
means of seeing how effectively they were applying a chosen technique. However
we now have biofeedback equipment which can accurately measure your brain wave
state actually showing the effectiveness of a person applying a meditation
technique. CALM makes suggestions on how you can develop your skills in dealing with Enhancing Meditation using Sandy MacGregor's low cost Tapes, Books, CDs, Videos and Seminars which have been utilised by thousands of people successfully since 1990. [click here]
