Banish Unwanted Thoughts During Meditation

There is nothing more annoying than unwanted thoughts preventing you from stilling your mind during your meditation.
Concerns, worries and irrelevant ideas can buzz around your head like mosquitoes.
During meditation your conscious awareness is called into play. You extend your consciousness onto something specific such as the flame of a candle, a mantra, the rhythm of the breath, or an overall awareness of the environment.

Differences between hypnosis and meditation

The goals of hypnosis and mediation are different although there are similarities. Meditation may be used as a general way of 'stilling' the mind or as part of a wider spiritual system whereas hypnosis may be used more specifically to cure a phobia, stop nightmares and help lift the debilitating effects of depression.

Both states involve stilling parts of the mind so that other parts can become activated but meditation involves a little more conscious direction. In fact the lotus position which, in my experience is not the most relaxing way of sitting may have originated to stop students going from a state of meditation into hypnosis.

The value of meditation

Meditation can help you become better at focusing your mind, become more objective and less swayed by the distortions of emotion and can also help your body to work better enabling immune function to increase and healing to speed up.

Disturbing thoughts are a familiar part of most people's meditation practice, especially when you are new to it. Hypnosis can help you prepare effectively for meditation.

Imagine being able to 'bat away' unwanted thoughts, rise above them and have absolute focus during your meditation practice.

The ability of choosing what you have in your mind will also extend to other areas of your life including times when you are not actually meditating.

Enjoy a Yoga Nidra created by the language professionals

Yoga Nidra is the time to still the body and mind after your yoga practice. Nidra asana is an opportunity to lie in shavasana - 'the corpse posture' and focus and still the mind to leave you cleansed and clear after your yoga practice. This deep yoga nidra meditation will give you such peace of mind and calm of body.


Good Yoga Nidra language

So many yoga teachers are excellent in their field but fall down when it comes to proper use of relaxing language.

For example a teacher might say something like: 'Let go of tension and stresses'. Now, the brain is an organ that needs clear positively framed instructions. So, for example, telling a child not to drop the tray of food is actually aligning the child's mind to dropping the tray.

By using this language, the yoga teacher sets a negative template - asking the child to be careful with the tray of food is setting the right template. The brain needs clear, positively orientated instructions and this most certainly applies to language used during your yoga nidra practice.

There will be many hypnotic language patterns used in this session you'll not be aware of but you'll find it's all positively phrased to make your experience much more powerful and positive.

This session will guide you through a wonderful yoga nidra session and, if you are a yoga teacher, you can download the Yoga Nidra script, and study the hypnotic language used for yoga nidra to improve your own yoga teaching.

Download Yoga Nidra now and use it after your yoga practice and when you just need to relax deeply.

Experience guided meditation that takes you deeper, quicker than ever

Guided meditation is a way of enhancing detachment. When you can see your own emotions and thoughts 'from the outside', you can begin to influence the ebbs and flow of your mind. This leaves you less susceptible to unpleasant emotion and more able to reach your potential.

Research has shown that people who meditate regularly are happier and less prone to depression. This seems to be connected with the fact that when you meditate you actively use a part of the brain that is underused during depression.

Meditation differs from hypnosis in that the attention tends to be more focussed with less activity in the mind. Guided meditation can help those who have never meditated before, or those who are learning, by helping them reach the desired state quickly and more easily.
