Introduction to Meditation
Have you ever wanted to escape the outside world for just a few minutes? By mastering the art of meditation, you will be able to do that anywhere! Meditation helps with a wide variety of things, from keeping you stress free to helping your bodies immune system. It has the ability to make you AND those around you happier and will also make you feel more connected. Meditation not only helps our mind, but can also reduce aging and improve metabolism, which will help some lose weight. Another proven benefit of meditation is increased memory and attention span.
History of Meditation
Meditation dates back to prehistoric origins confirmed by early religious contexts. We see some of the earliest written records of meditation from Vedantism which comes from Hindu traditions around 1500 BCE. The English word “meditation” stems from meditatum, a Latin term meaning “to ponder.” Although we can’t know when, exactly, people began to meditate, experts agree that the practice probably began many thousands of years ago, before the birth of modern civilization as we know it. If scholars look to establish the origins of meditation, they first have to decipher ancient texts and recorded hieroglyphs to find references to this discipline. Several archaeological findings suggest that hunter-gatherers were participants of some forms of meditation, as were early shamans. Their knowledge was passed down orally from one generation to the next, helping to lay the important foundations of modern meditation. It can be difficult to pin down the origins of meditation because there are so many practices that fall under the “meditation” umbrella. Is it mindfulness? Contemplation? Communion? Chanting? Trance?
Although many forms of meditation can be found in ancient religious traditions around the world, the practice as a component of a spiritual journey is probably most closely associated with Buddhism. The Buddha, who lived and taught in Southeast Asia about 2600 years ago, founded a path that inspired generations of participants to sit in mindful awareness and breathe their way to lasting peace. According to his teachings, meditative concentration is one of three trainings that when practiced together result in awakening, or enlightenment. The other two are proper ethical conduct and the wisdom of seeing things as they really are.
Men and women who gained insight and wisdom by putting the Buddha’s teachings into practice taught others. Seekers would travel to learn from great teachers who often lived in cultures far removed from their own, then bring th.

For this week you will write a guided imagery script that you feel might be helpful to either the patient population you serve, the nurses you work with, or your friends and family. When you write a script, try to engage the five senses. Openings usually start with relaxing, closing the eyes, and deep breathing. Closings involve bringing the person back slowly to the here and now. I have attached some examples of scripts that I have written. You will then try reading the script to at least one person, it can be anyone, and get their response.
Here is what to include in this week’s posting:
The name of the imagery script
What type of person you wrote it for
The actual script
Who you read it to and what they thought about it.

Example: Script for Assignment
By the Fireplace: By Desiree Hensel
Close your eyes and find a comfortable position. Notice how your body is feeling.
Take a long slow breath allowing your belly to rise. As you breathe in, send that breath to the places that feel most tense. Now slowly breathe out. Let your belly gently fall and blow away that tension.
Breathing two more times. Send breath to your tight spots and blow away that tension.
As you continue breathing, imagine gazing at a fireplace. Feel how the warmth of the fire travels down your body; over your neck, across your shoulders, down your chest, and the back of your spine. Let the warmth continue down your arms and legs and out your fingers and toes.
Continue to breathe slowly… smoothly… deeply.
Now watch the flicker of the fire in your mind’s eye and imagine this fire glowing warmly from your heart center. As the fire glows brighter, your heart grows larger and more open.
Breathe in light and love to your heart center and as you breathe out, send love back into the universe.
Continue watching the fire flicker and notice how the pattern changes. As you gaze at the dances of yellow, orange, red and white light, feel yourself become deeply relaxed.
Now listen to the sounds of the fire. Notice the crackling and popping as well as the softer whispering sounds. Let those sounds quite your mind. Let those sounds replace any thoughts that may distract you.
Keep your breath slow deep and even. Let that breath continue to fuel the fire that is keeping you warm and peaceful. Imagine as you breathe in the fire grows. As you breathe out it calms, but only slightly.
Continue to breathing and begin to enjoy the scents of the fire. Let the fire’s aroma remind you of a joyful time that you shared a fire with family or friends. Remember that feeling of happiness, closeness, and love.
As you continue to experience the fire notice how it has changed and notice how your body has changed. Let the warmth of the fire to melt away your cares and worries.

EXERCISE 17.1 Dolphin Breath Meditation
Meditation Script
Introduction
Breathing is, perhaps, the most common way to promote relaxation. Taking a few moments
to focus on your breathing, to the exclusion of all other thoughts, helps to calm
mind, body, and spirit. By focusing solely on your breathing, you allow distracting
thoughts to leave the conscious mind. In essence, clearing the mind of thoughts is
very similar to deleting unwanted emails, thus allowing more room to concentrate on
what is really important in your life, that which really deserves attention.
Script
In a normal resting state, the average person breathes about fourteen to sixteen breath
cycles per minute. Under stress, this can increase to nearly thirty breath cycles per
minute. Yet in a deep relaxed state, it is not uncommon to have as few as four to six
breath cycles in this same time period. The breathing style that produces the greatest
relaxation response is that which allows the stomach to expand, rather than the upper
chest (this is actually how you breathe when you are comfortably asleep). Take a few
moments to breathe, specifically focusing your attention on your abdominal area.
And, if any distracting thoughts come to your attention, simply allow these to fade
away as you exhale.
Sometimes, combining visualization with breathing can augment the relaxation
response. The dolphin breath meditation is one such visualization. Imagine if
you will that, like a dolphin, you have a hole in the crown of your head with which
to breathe. Although you will still breathe through your nose or mouth, imagine
that you are now taking in slow, deep breaths through the opening at the top of
your head.
As you do this, feel the air or energy come in through the top of your head, down
past your neck and shoulders, and reside momentarily at the base of your spine.
Then, when you feel ready, very slowly exhale, allowing the air to move back
out through the dolphin spout, the opening situated at the top of your head. As you
slowly exhale, feel a deep sense of inner peace reside throughout your body.
Once again, using all your concentration, focus your attention on the opening
at the top of your head. Now, slowly breathe air in through this opening—comfortably
slow, comfortably deep. As you inhale, feel the air move down into your lungs,
yet allow it to continue further down, deep into your abdominal region. When you
feel ready, slowly exhale, allowing the air to move comfortably from your abdominal
region up through the top of your head.
Now, take three slow, deep dolphin breaths, and each time you exhale, feel a
deep sense of relaxation throughout your body.
1. (Pause) . . . Inhale . . . five to ten seconds . . . Exhale
2. (Pause) . . . Inhale . . . five to ten seconds . . . Exhale
3. (Pause) . . . Inhale . . . five to ten seconds . . . Exhale
Just as you imagined a hole in.
Body scan meditation is a type of mindfulness meditation in which you focus your attention on different parts of your body, from your toes to your head. As you scan your body, you pay attention to any sensations you feel, such as itching, pain, or warmth. You may also focus on your breath and how it feels as it moves in and out of your body.
The goal of body scan meditation is to increase your awareness of your body and to help you relax. Although it may take some practice to master, body scan meditation can be a helpful tool for managing stress and anxiety.
There is nothing much to say about meditation. This is the oldest practise by virtue of which one can control ones mind and the mind becomes the strongest tool for tackling any challenges that life may throw at us. Meditation is the tool described in the vedic scriptures and today it is accepted world wide as a potent and effective therapy.
The Importance of Breath Control During Public Speaking.pdfDaniel Kingsley
One of the first things you need to understand about public speaking is that you must breathe correctly and efficiently to continue speaking with proper cadence and intonation. The best presenters out there know the importance of breathing and the advantages it gives them when they’re speaking. If you feel nervous on stage, and this is a real issue, focusing on proper breath control will be a significant part of your improvement in public speaking skills.
In the noisy world, every individual seeking peace and wisdom. However, nothing in this world is easy to achieve, not even a peace. At this moment you need to connect with your inner self to attain peace. Is it easy to attain peace of mind? How can we connect with the inner self?

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
6. STEP FIVE:
Zone in on your
breathing
Breathe in deeply through your nose for at
least three seconds and hold it in for a further
two seconds. Next, exhale for at least four
seconds through the mouth
7. STEP SIX:
Focus in on how your
body is feeling in this
moment
Bring awareness to the body breathing in and
out, noticing touch and pressure where it
makes contact with the seat or floor.
Throughout this practice, allow as much time
as you need or want to experience and
investigate each area of the body.
8. STEP SEVEN:
Acknowledge when
your thoughts drift
and calmly bring
them back
Lots of people think meditation is about
clearing your mind, or stopping all thoughts. ...
Instead, just try to practice focusing your
attention. Stay with whatever arises. When
thoughts or feelings arise, and they will, you
might try staying with them awhile. And when
you are ready bring them back to the body.
