Quickly Train Yourself in Mindfulness Meditation

Did you know that mindfulness meditation has been shown to significantly reduce stress? ⁽¹⁾

Or that training in it can enhance your capacity to learn and remember?

The term 'mindfulness' leads many of us to immediately generate a mental image of some saffron-robed Buddhist monk sitting in cross-legged silence on a cushion in a peaceful temple somewhere, far away from the rush and stress and pressures of the ordinary lives of ordinary people. Accompanied perhaps by an occasional reverberating peal from a deep-toned gong.

This image is not entirely misplaced. The practice of establishing and sustaining a state of wide-focused awareness of 'present reality' did indeed arise in the East and is part of the formal training of monks and nuns in Buddhist and other eastern religions.

But you don't have to live in a monastery (or have any religious conviction) to learn to do this yourself.

And there are good reasons to do so.

Mindfulness meditation reveals the big picture

Mindfulness practice is increasingly widely used by people in all walks of life as an effective way of 'taking a step back' from the incessant flood of events and emotions that make up our lives so that we can calm down, take stock, and 'see the bigger picture'.

In stressful times it is particularly easy to get bogged down in dwelling unhelpfully on the past, or fantasizing (negatively or positively) about the future, while the present just slides by beneath your feet.

Learning to focus your attention on 'right here, right now', without making value judgments about what you think, or feel, or experience, helps you to be more grounded and less likely to be overthrown by circumstances.

What is the best way to learn how to be mindful?

Why hypnosis is an effective way to train in mindfulness

All meditation has one core aspect that matches strongly with the hypnotic state. Relaxation. And hypnosis makes you relaxed more quickly and deeply than anything else. Which makes it a perfect training tool for mindfulness.

Mindfulness Meditation Training is an audio hypnosis session developed by psychologists that makes learning mindfulness simple, easy and enjoyable.

As you listen and relax repeatedly to your session, you'll notice that

• you find yourself relaxing more profoundly each time
• you become aware of a well of deep calm underlying the ups and downs of everyday life
• you gradually become more able to 'stay present'
• you are less easily thrown off balance by emotionally arousing events
• your mind becomes clearer and you can more easily see things 'in the round' rather than from a single narrow perspective
