Effortless Meditation

In today’s podcast episode, we’re talking about the wandering mind. Sometimes called “monkey mind,” this state of an active mind can seem complicated. An active mind is something all meditators face at times, mostly when new to the practice.

We’ll start by covering the problem, seeking to understand the mind’s thoughts more clearly. What is going on when the mind is active? We then will discuss a few techniques you can use to help collect the mind and work with the monkey mind, including concentration practice, loving-kindness meditation, and cultivating a daily practice.

What is Fight-Flight-Freeze? Fight-Flight-Freeze isn't a conscious decision. It's an automatic reaction, so you can't control it. The fight-flight-freeze response is your body's natural reaction to danger. It's a type of stress response that helps you react to perceived threats, like an oncoming car or growling dog. The response instantly causes hormonal and physiological changes. There are ways to cope with an overactive stress response, which today we talk about it in this meditation. This includes various strategies and treatments such as deep breathing, focusing on a calming word, and visualizing a peaceful image. As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome. Please see the show notes for how to contact us.

The feelings of stress are compounded by the Fire, election, COVID-19 pandemic, and economic pressures. Now, stress is in the red zone, no matter where you live around the world. Especially if you live in the united state and Belarus these days. We know very well. Stress can cause mental health issues as well as bring on physical ailments. Meditation, which is the practice of focused concentration, bringing yourself back to the moment over and over again, actually addresses stress, whether positive or negative." Meditation can also reduce anxiety, chronic pain, depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure. In today's episode, we hold hands around the world and meditate. We feel each other hands. We feel we are not alone. We are strong. We love each other; we not for war, dishonesty, and fear-mongering.

What makes the piano sound beautiful Is the silence between the notes

What makes the fire to burn is

The breathing space between the logs

What makes a speech memorable is 

the pause between the words.

What makes life meaningful and magical is 

stopping, focusing, and re-evaluating our purpose in life.

We pause in meditation to let go of thoughts and sharpen our attention to the breath. ... In a pause, we discontinue whatever we are doing—thinking, talking, walking, writing, planning, worrying, eating—and become present, attentive, and, often, physically still.

How to Practicing Pausing (STOP)

S- Stop. Remember to pause.

T- Take a few breaths. This gives us time to notice the stimulus.

O- Observe your present state without judging it. What are you feeling or thinking at this moment? ...

P- Proceed with awareness.

Past experiences, traumas, accidents, especially those from childhood, can be held in the mind and body for decades, dragging you down and Can be a source of negative thought. Kindness usually is a source of positive thought. Acts of kindness don’t just make others happy; they make you feel good as well. Even just taking a moment to do someone a small favor or help a stranger can put you in a better frame of mind and break you out of a negative thought chain. In this episode, we learn how to train our subconscious mind to be positive.

The last music segment is called Tears & Joy by Talented David Fesliyan. I hope you enjoy this great music.  

In this session, we talk about grief. How to cope with grief. Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss—and the more significant the loss.
