quiet your mind: proven benefits physically and psychologcally

Good Morning Everyone,

Breathing: the any time, any place, any where meditation technique

Another piece of scientific data that shows the positive benefits of quietening your mind. Mindfulness Meditation Training Changes Brain Structure in Eight Weeks, an article in Science Daily not just suggests but shows the benefits of quietening your mind. Seems it is true after all that to be more effective and efficient, never mind feeling good, we really do need to be still inside. Wouldn’t it be fun to realize after all the years of making fun of the spiritual types to find out they were on to something all along?

There’s an old story that I am reminded of that tells of two men in a wood chopping contest. At the start of the competition both men began with sharp axes. Throughout the day the men steadily worked at turning out their piles of chopped wood. One man refused to stop and rest; whilst the other stopped periodically to rest and sharpen his axe with much derision from the crowd. But at the end of the day, the man with the most chopped wood was the one who stopped to rest and sharpen his axe.

One really effective means of quietening the mind is breathing. Listen to an excerpt from the Earthling’s Quick Start Guide: Master Operating Your Unit on Earth (A Short Refresher Course in Applied Spirituality) online self study course. We’re natural creatures, fully contained Godkits with all the necessary parts to lead balanced, productive and happy lives. No batteries required.

or you might want to listen to Forest Meditations by Rita Desnoyer Garcia. It seems pretty clear to me that we can’t afford NOT to quiet our minds.

Thanks for reading!
