| THE MEDITATIVE LIFE |
|
It's no secret that meditation quiets the mind, nourishes the heart, and revitalizes the body, lending strength to all parts of us through a spring of silent energy. But there's more... In an extraordinary new program Guy Finley actually reveals how it's possible to practice "living meditation." You can learn all about a new way of living – moment to moment – in a state of inner peace that has no beginning nor end, which means neither does your strength and confidence disappear when stressful conditions present themselves to you. If you have ever wished to know the benefits of a meditative life – a quiet mind, true self-command, more energy, deeper wisdom – take a moment now and read on, to learn more about this very different and very practical approach to the ancient science of meditation. You Can Have the One Thing Everyone Wants... Whether we know it or not, there is one thing that everyone wants. People will deny it. They'll scoff at the suggestion. They'll say you're crazy for saying it. And that's why even though everyone can have it — even though everyone is meant to have it — so few ever come to possess it. And yet, it's the greatest thing in the world. Here are just a few of the wonders you will experience when you claim this ultimate prize:
Runners realize it when they go through "the wall." Mountain climbers are touched by it as they become fully engrossed in scaling a sheer cliff. Artists dance with it when they become one with the creative process. Some people experience it in that magic moment when they gaze up at the night sky, or drink a glass of cool water on a hot day, or look into the eyes of their beloved. But the real reason moments like these are so extraordinary is because they allow us to experience this special quality that everyone wants, but hardly anyone understands. And it's simply this: A Quiet Mind. You can prove it to yourself right now. Take a nice deep breath. Relax from thinking about yourself by bringing your attention back into the present moment. Center yourself and let your mind just rest. It feels different, doesn't it? Lighter. More at peace. Liberating — and yet connected to something greater than yourself. You may even be aware of a few pesky thoughts buzzing around the outskirts of your brain, but as the saying goes, "The dogs bark, yet the caravan moves on." A still mind cannot be assailed, and this kind of real relief – born of being in relationship with real life – is what everyone wants. But here is what's so remarkable . . . With everything that we do to bring ourselves to this simple quiet moment – from sailing solo across the Atlantic to climbing Mount Everest to running a marathon, we were all born with the ability to easily slip into this higher state of mind — the space between two thoughts — any time we want. And while, in this increasingly noisy world we inhabit, most of us have completely forgotten the hidden way to this higher world within us, it is easily found and open to anyone who will seek it. It's been given many names. Contemplation. Reflection. Musing. Mindfulness. Stopping thought. Introspection. Whatever it's been referred to over time and across cultures, the wise ones have always known this one great truth... Meditation is the Royal Road to a Quiet Mind. Perhaps you've sensed this already. And perhaps you've tried to meditate, but didn't get the benefits you had imagined. It's not at all surprising. With all the "avatars" and "gurus" of meditation that are out there, it's hard to find a true path to learning the essence and meaning of this vital practice. And this is why The Meditative Life – the powerful audio program by best-selling self-realization author and teacher Guy Finley – is such a milestone. In it you will be given the knowledge and techniques to really understand the meditative process and make it so much more than just something you do in isolation. You will learn to make the practice of meditation a moment-to-moment experience of your daily life. The time has never been more right for such a ground-breaking guide to appear. Modern Research Proves What the Ancients Knew: Reports from Harvard and other major research universities by brain scientists using cutting edge imaging equipment have all drawn the same conclusion: Meditation actually changes the structure of the brain! MRI images of the brains of long-time meditators show that the cortex thickens in areas involved in attention and sensory processing — areas that usually shrink as people get older. There is evidence of the formation of new neurons, wider blood vessels, increased branching and connections. Could meditation be the fountain of a youthful mind? Or, better still, the fountain of happiness? MRIs of the brains of monks meditating on compassion showed a dramatic increase in activity in the areas connected to enthusiasm and joy. Other research has shown that people trained in meditation have decreased anxiety, improved immune function, and significant changes in brain activity. Scientists have come to the conclusion that we can improve our level of happiness and our capacity to focus attention. We can actually change our brain and the kind of thoughts we have! And the means to accomplishing all of these life-enhancing results is the one thing that anyone can do, and that we've ignored for too long: Meditation. True Meditation Isn't Scary and Hard Meditation is an ancient art, but it is so misunderstood today. People have images of robed individuals, chanting and sequestered from the world – perhaps even sitting on some mountaintop – and they wonder what that has to do with our lives today. But there's so much more to meditation. In fact, as you'll see, it's the most practical thing we can do. Yes, we learn meditation by sitting quietly, and we practice it this way when we can, but true meditation is not restricted to these select moments. It is not restricted to any place or time where we feel we have to control conditions to make them "ideal." In fact, it is better to speak not just of meditation, but of the meditative life, which is a constant, moment-to-moment, fully engaged relationship that an individual has with the whole of his or her experience. This relationship involves an active and lively state of consciousness through which we connect with the Great Consciousness of the universe. It is a process of participation IN life, with everything it gives to us in the moment. Once this relationship becomes the underlying anchor of your being, in any moment you have the power to come back to yourself and become "dialed in" to whatever is happening and to whoever is around you.
You move through life with assurance, and you're never roped in to actions and reactions that are wrong for you. You can always see, and always be, what's right in the moment. The meditative life is a life without fear or compromise; its foundation is an unflagging wisdom born of love. A Quiet Mind Isn't Something You Learn Many people try meditation but then give it up in frustration because we have so many wrong ideas today about the meditative process. Meditation is not about trying to force our minds into silence. It's about watching our restless minds, gently directing our attention away from agitated thoughts and feelings with all of their confusion, and entering the larger silence that already exists and in which the noisy mind is no more a problem to us than the antics of monkeys are to the zoo keeper. The thoughts may go on, but we are able to watch them objectively without getting caught up in them. Thanks to higher understanding, even as our minds still race, we can enter into that silent stream within us – which is the endless source of light, love, and creativity. Once we realize this state of interior silence, we can enjoy it while sitting quietly in the sweet morning light, or while we're waiting in traffic, sitting in a business meeting, or walking up and down the aisles in the supermarket. We actually become safer, sharper, and more responsive to the moment. It's because we have entered a state of full consciousness instead of being lost in thought. This transformational process is exactly what Guy Finley explains so clearly, and makes so doable, in The Meditative Life. Guy Finley has spent 35 years helping men and women understand these principles, and the combination of his remarkable insights and crystal-clear explanations is what makes all the difference.
Meditation Is the Essence of Genuine Love There is only one way to be still, and that is to be still NOW. There is only one place where you can find true Love, and that is in your own heart. There is only one way to ever be known, and that is to know yourself. And
it all becomes possible through understanding the simple principles and practices
found in The Meditative Life. In it, you will uncover the
possibility of touching another Modern physicists now confirm what wise individuals have always known: we live in many worlds at once. And yet, for most of us, our awareness is restricted only to that world that we can touch with our senses. But we are not meant to dwell in a single dimension of time and space, any more than an eagle is created to fly while holding one of its talons to the ground. The Meditative Life is filled with so much more than just pleasing descriptions of the many silent, sentient worlds within us; it provides all that we need to know to enter into these invisible realms, and to develop a conscious relationship with them on a moment-to-moment basis.
