===================================
This is the third part of a
three part online course in Basic
Meditation Techniques
The course is devided into three
sections. Section one deals with
what meditation is and how it plays
a part in the lives of those who
use it. Section two will go into
the techniques and tools of
meditation. Section three gives
suggestions on how to use what
you've learned, in everyday life.
A list of books for further reading
on the subject, will be given at
the end of section three.
This material may be reproduced
and distributed only if the header,
by line, and BBS info remain part
of any such reproduction.
___________________________________
In this third and final section
we will discuss some ways in which
you may use what you've learned, in
your daily life.
The most obvious use of the
techniques you have learned, is
relaxation. During the course of
the day, many of us have moments
when the pressure becomes almost
to much. When this happens, we
often can't deal with other people
or projects the way we should. The
breathing exercises you learned in
section two can help at these
times.
It doesn't require alot of time
or absolute quiet as does your
meditation practice. All that is
required is about five minutes and
relative privacy. At these times,
begin doing your rhythmic breathing
and visualize a place which is calm
and refreshing. This simple and
quick exercise, can work wonders to
help you regain control in a hectic
situation.
Another way in which meditation
is used is in the development of
psychic powers. There are several
books on the subject, listed at
the end of this section. Most of
those who teach about the use and
development of these abilities,
agree that meditation is necessary
to any such study. Again the reason
for this is that meditation allows
you to reach an altered state of
conciousness. In this altered state
your mind is more open to such
phenomenon as telepathy. If you
should decide to persue studies
in this direction, please seek
the help of someone trained in
these areas.
One final use I will suggest is
visualization. Meditation can be
used as a tool for problem solving.
While in a meditative state of
mind, you have the ability to take
any situation and manipulate it. By
that I mean you can mentally play
the out the situation using several
different solutions. Then, you can
pick the one which seems to best
solve the problem. While the use of
meditation can help you deal with
problem solving more effectively,
it is not infallible. All it can
do is allow you to think more
clearly and concisely about the
problem at hand.
Well that concludes this study
on meditation. I hope you have
gained something usefull from this
course. It has been by no means, a
full explanation of the subject.
There is much more to learn than
could be covered in this short
series and It is my hope that you
will want to continue your studies
into this fascinating and usefull
skill.
More studies of this type will
be developed in the near future.
The New Atlantis BBS will continue
to post these studies as an ongoing
service to it's users. Please feel
free to leave suggestions on the
BBS about subjects you would like
to see covered.
