DID YOU KNOW

That the simple act of monitoring your mind and body can have a profound effect on your overall well-being; making you less susceptible to stress, fatigue and illness

Stress is medically proven to have negative effects on the body and takes its toll on our physical and mental well-being on a cellular level. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 80 per cent of the doctor visits in the USA are triggered by a stress-related illness. Healing Rhythms unique biofeedback program is designed to help you uncover your body’s own natural ability to counter the wear and tear that everyday stress has on your health. "Healing Rhythms uses biofeedback to access your innate healing abilities to restore your physical, mental and spiritual health."

With just a few minutes of practice each day, you’ll improve your energy level and your ability to connect with the world around you. In short, you’ll begin to wake up to your life in new and profound ways.

Biofeedback is the most technologically sophisticated of all relaxation procedures. It was developed in the 1950s. This approach relies on an electronic effect to get the body into a relaxed state of being. Biofeedback is applied to the brainwaves (as well as other physiological systems), to produce a state of great relaxation.

What happens is a subject is hooked up to an EEG and attends to a signal which goes on when their brain is producing a desired type of brainwave, and then after a number of sessions this brainwave pattern can be produced on demand, so that relaxation can be obtained whenever desired.

When Alpha brainwaves are present, most people describe feeling drowsy and totally relaxed. It has also been described as 'being on a high', 'submissive', 'passive' and 'letting go'. Wow, that all sounds wonderful doesn't it?!

This type of brainwave is found in experienced meditators during meditation practice.

Theta waves are also present in the brainwaves of very experieced meditators, and it is thought that these particular types of waves occur at the 'Eureka!' moment - that is, when a flash of inspiration occurs!

Challenges You May Face When You Meditate

Being able to stay focused when you meditate is one of the main challenges that you face when you first engage in meditation. In meditation, you focus on your breathing or an object and try to clear your mind. Thoughts will start to come to mind, which you should acknowledge and then let them pass on. Sometimes, if you are feeling stressed about some situation, thoughts of this may overpower you and you feel as if you should dwell on these to try to find a solution. Forcing the issue is not the way of meditating and will keep you from the true purpose. When you first start your meditating session, you need to have a place where you will be free from distractions. This includes noise and images. You can block out the images by closing your eyes, but the daily sounds are often more difficult to block out. This is why most people choose the early morning hours to practice spiritual meditation. The rest of the household is asleep so you have some time to yourself when you won’t be interrupted. Learning the various positions and being able to hold them for a length of time is a challenge for beginners. While most people have the idea that you have to be in a sitting position to meditate, you can meditate when you are walking, lying down, kneeling or standing. The sitting positions are the hardest to master, even when you sit on a chair because it is hard to maintain the same position for up to 30 minutes at a time. The half lotus position is the one most prefer to use when meditating in a sitting position. To do this, you sit cross legged with the foot of one leg resting on the thigh of the other leg. The other foot is resting on the floor under the opposite thigh. The most difficult sitting position is the full lotus in which you have both feet resting on the thighs of the opposite legs and your knees touching the floor. When you start to meditate, you also have to give yourself a few minutes at the beginning for your mind and body to relax. It takes a few minutes for this to happen and for your breathing to become regular. You have to let the tenseness out of the muscles in your back and neck and learn to breathe deeply. This means breathing in through your nose so that you take in the maximum amount of oxygen which can then get to the deepest portions of your lungs. Hold the breath for a second and let it out slowly. There are no rules for meditating. The main goal is for you to see results from the session – whether this is simply a way of relaxing, finding a solution to your problems or finding a way of reaching a state of inner peace and calm. During the session, you do not allow your thoughts to consume you and through this you can learn to see and understand them in a different way. The object is to meditate so that you become more effective in the way you handle the stresses of life so that you don’t act impulsively and become angry over every little thing. Once you grasp this concept, you will be able to have a happier life.
