Zen meditation is the top choice in the USA for those seeking Buddhism as their religion. Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism. The underlying belief that zen follows is that all sentient beings have:
~ the universal nature of inherent wisdom
~ Buddha-nature
~ Buddha-nature is nothing other than the nature of the mind itself
Therefore, the goal of all those who practice zen meditation is to find this Buddha-nature within themselves. This is accomplished strictly through mindfulness and meditation.
So, Why Is Zen Meditation Popular In The USA?
Meditation is not easy for those in the western world. Our lives are so full of input that it is difficult for our minds to stay focused. This is commonly referred to as “monkey mind”. For example, take a drive and just notice how many different things you have run through your head. Chances are you drummed up a whole bunch of random thoughts. Really all you were doing was going for a drive, wasn’t it? I guess not.
Mindfulness is simply being aware of exactly what you are doing. Right now. So, if you are washing the dishes. You are washing the dishes. If you are thinking about sweeping the floor, then you are no longer being mindful. This is easy to do in the USA. You can be practice this no matter what your schedule may be.
Meditation is also easy in the USA. You have the choice of meditating anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour or more. Whatever your schedule may allow. 20 minutes, twice a day, is widely considered to be optimal for a zen practitioner.
Other schools of Buddhism are a lot more involved, for the most part. Some require advanced degrees and large amounts of study. Others require living a specific way. There are other Mc2blog posts in the Buddhism category which go into a lot more detail.
If you are interested in practicing zen meditation, or simply want to learn more, deep zen meditation will certainly help you get a head start. People in the USA have been reporting meditation skills that zen monks spend years in obtaining, in just a short period of time.

Diarrhea is often a major problem in young kids. More often than not, diarrhea follows an episode or two of upset stomach.
Tummy Trumbles is a natural medicine that is designed to keep your kids stomach feeling calm and balanced and help support their digestive system. Manufactured by a leader in natural medicine, Native Remedies, it is 100% safe and natural. Each and every ingredient has been researched heavily and selected because of it’s high safety profile.
Aside from Tummy Trumbles, be sure to follow these guidelines to keep your kids tummy in tip-top shape. Never underestimate the power of a healthy diet. Try to avoid dairy products, caffeine, greasy foods, high fiber and things that are too sweet. These will easily upset a sensitive stomach. A simple diet consisting of foods that are soft and bland works the best. Unsalted crackers, bananas, browned apple shavings, baked chicken (remove the fat and skin), boiled potatoes and cooked carrots are good things to feed your kid. Make your kid wash his hands a lot, especially right before a meal.
When vacationing outside the country bring along your Tummy Trumbles and DO NOT:
~ Eat the food that is served by street vendors.
~ Allow your kid to eat dairy products or milk that are unpasteurized.

Defined, Self-hypnosis (or autosuggestion) is a method of using your thoughts to relieve your body from pain of physical symptoms, whether they be positive or negative. It’s used as an intentional way of changing the way you think, believe or perceive things. Self-hypnosis also can be used to change how you behave in the world. Self hypnosis is similar, in ways, to praying or meditation.
As you might see, this is closely related to the placebo effect. You have likely heard of the placebo effect. ie. a doctor gives a patient a sugar pill and the patient believes it’s working, then the patient gets better. In this case the patients mind, in fact, cured him not the sugar pill. Some scientists say that Self-hypnosis and the placebo effect are so closely related that it is difficult to see where one starts and the other ends.
Self-hypnosis chances for success are altered by two variables. These are how long you keep using it and how often you use it during this time. During this time the self-hypnotist repeats key phrases over in their head over and over until the thoughts are so deeply ingrained within them, that they become reality. One good example of this is a New Years resolution. Say you decide to quit smoking and for the next 3 weeks constantly reinforce your original resolution with positive thoughts. You are likely to succeed! On the other hand, if you make a resolution and quit thinking about it days later or start thinking negatively then chances are you will not succeed.
A simple way to practice self-hypnosis would be to think of a sentence or two that describes how you would like to be, or want to achieve. Here’s an example: “I would like to quit smoking on January 30th. Until then I will only smoke when I have to.” The self-hypnotist will then repeat these sentences over and over until they fall asleep. On the day of January 30th the chances of actually accomplishing this task should be much higher.
A self hypnosis cd or mp3 can help you get results. In fact, if it is your first time then I wouldn’t even try before taking a look at Steve Jones’ collection of over 200 self hypnosis cd’s/mp3’s. They are the most popular available on the net and are really cheap to buy.
If you are, by chance, looking to hypnotize someone else with great success, then the hands down best reference is conversational hypnosis.

“Our Ultimate Reality - Life, the Universe and the Destiny of Mankind” was first introduced in April 2005, by Adrien Cooper. It is 572 pages (155 chapters) long, so it is a hefty read.
Things I find most interesting in “Our Ultimate Reality”:
~ I learned about my Spiritual nature and how to understand it.
~ Learned to stay healthy and how to heal most any ailment that I encountered.
~ Before I read “Our Ultimate Reality” I thought I fully understood what karma and reincarnation meant. Now, I feel like I could debate with the best of them on these and many other spiritual topics.
~ Law of Attraction - I was able to attract abundance and satisfy all needs, wishes and desires.
~ Learned about the three best methods to achieve both out of the body experience and astral projection.
~ This skill changed my life the most. I visited the place after death and saw people that I used to know, who have expired. Fair Warning: you should be careful with this one. It can be uplifting and at the same time unnerving. I went through several weeks of unrest after trying this the first time.
December 21, 2012 is only a few years away. If you are spiritual, as I am, then you already know what I’m talking about. I have to say that I am so glad that I found this ebook. It has been an incredible resource that has helped me come to terms with spirituality and the reality of this thing we call the universe. You had better grab a copy and come to terms with your spiritual side before it is too late. I think we all know our time here is growing short, deep down.
This was an excellent read that kept me very interested up until the end. Some of it I didn’t 100% agree with, but Adrien Cooper has a big thumbs up from me. If there was a single book that should be given to everyone as a “must read”, upon entering the universe, then I choose this one.
I hope this review helped. If you are still not sure whether it’s for you then you can get the first 7 chapters for free. I was skeptical about it at first but I think chances are you will see how valuable this ebook really is, as did I.

Steve Jones, M.Ed. is a licensed hypnotherapist with a collection of self hypnosis CD’s under the name of “Better Living With Hypnosis”. Are they effective? Well that is what you are about to discover.
First, I will tell of my experience with them. Until 2 months ago I was very skeptical about self hypnosis. I bought 3 of Steve Jones’ CD’s from a local seller on Craig’s List for a good price. The “Power your mind to stop smoking” self hypnosis CD is the only one I’ve tried so far. I have not had a cigarette in a month!
This is huge for me. I had been smoking for 19 years! Believe me I tried to quit many times before. I have tried patches, the little pill that came out a few years back (can’t remember the name), cold turkey, nicotine gum and inhalers. Everytime I was back smoking within a week. I was the kind of guy who wakes up and has to run outside before I wake up to get a morning cig in. Thanks Steve!
The other cd’s are on listening to your dreams and control stress hypnosis (guess I should have used that while I was quitting smoking, as well). Those are next and I’ll let you know how they work.
Tom Mankiewicz, the writer of “Superman the Movie” said:
“If you want to make a positive change in your life, Steve G. Jones can make the difference. He did with me.”
Steve Jones centers his life around hypnosis. He is a true leader in his field as the inventor of “Phone Hypnosis Mastery”. Apparently, he is able to give hypnosis sessions over the telephone. He also has a private practice where he helps people deal with situations such as test taking, weight loss, anxiety, anger management and nail biting.
Aside from his practice you will often find Steve working with producers, actors (hollywood), directors and writers. He is also a strong force in helping businessmen achieve success. Sales teams and salesman morale have found great increases from his hypnosis techniques.
Seeing him in person isn’t necessary to take crucial steps in your life, like I did. There are over 200 self hypnosis CD’s , by Steve Jones, available on his self hypnosis website.

The Magic of Making Up is a highly acclaimed ebook that has become very popular. I am going to look further into if it is really effective, or not.
TD (T Dub) Jackson has helped over 6100 people in 67 different countries to get their relationships back. Instead of sitting in on libido lectures, he prefers to obtain real world experience. Such as, being at the scene when a friend’s wife threw her fiance’s clothes and undies out the window because she believed he was with another woman the night before.
This real world experience, in my opinion, is far and above better than what you can get at a counselor. In fact, many counselors are outraged at people finding quicker and better results through an Jackson’s e-book.
Jackson said it himself..that he doesn’t want to help psycho chicks steal married men or allow idiot men get ladies back that would be better off without them. He wants his e-book to be used for good rather than grave harm.
The Magic of Making up is 62 pages long and there are bonuses. It is NOT a scam. I have researched and found that this e-book is the real deal. People, one after the other, are getting back together with the one they truly love and getting on with their lives.
If you are dealing with:
~Inability to listen to the radio because many songs make you cry
~Binge eating
~No appetite
~Constantly texting or emailing
~Checking your email or voice mail a LOT to see if your ex may have called
~Massive depression
~Urges to spy on the one you love
~Replaying in your head “What should I have said?”
~Staying at home because maybe you would miss a call
~Thinking too much about why did they leave me?
~Rehearsing, endlessly, what you should have said
..then you should go and watch the first step of Magic of Making Up for free on streaming video. Get the love of your life back by following this course to a T.

Binaural beats have been studied for close to 170 years. It was first discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839. Heinrich wasn’t able to get his idea to take off. In 1973, Gerald Oster published an article in Scientific American called “Auditory Beats in the Brain”. Gerald’s article was revolutionary in that it was able to tie together varied channels of relevant research, thus giving the Binaural Beats a new insight and increase in relevance among scientists.
The power behind Binaural Beats is that it broadcasts two separate frequencies into each ear. So if you wanted your brain tuned to a frequency of 7 Hz then you could play a 207 Hz frequency in your right ear and a 200 Hz frequency in the left ear. The result is a lowered brain frequency to 7 Hz. You are basically tuning your brain.
Many people think that Binaural Beats recordings are the same, because they sound alike. This is not true because each recording is specifically tuned for a purpose such as: Sleep, weight loss, prosperity, relaxation and you can see the other purposes here (There are too many to list).
So what is the difference between Binaural and Subliminal recordings? Subliminal recordings use voices and harmonic sounds to program the brain. Normally there are no immediate effects with subliminal recordings, if any at all. On the other hand, Binaural Beats recordings have been proven to work with science. Binaural Beats alter brain frequencies and you will feel the effects immediately, on the first use.
Some common physical effects of a Binaural Beats sitting are:
~ Vivid colors, patterns and visualizations
~ A relaxed body from head to toe
~ A heavy feeling in the body and inability to move the body freely
~ Relief of tension, stress and anxiety
~ A feeling as if you are on sedatives or your body ceased to exist
~ Subconscious and Conscious mind separation

I’m in a place that I never thought I’d be spiritually. I absolutely need belief (in something) to move further in life and I know it. Here’s my story:
I’m 34 years old. As a child I went to church with my parents and 2 aunts. I didn’t really know what was going on and was only worried about the candy that my aunt would give me after long periods of sitting still and shutting up.
When I was age 12-15 I was moved around in all different schools. Not just public schools, but I went to Catholic, Christian and academies. My mom was set on making sure that everything would be alright for me.
I decided I didn’t like Bible class much at Tree of Life Christian school. So I started failing tests intentionally. Blah! I remember cussing in front of the class and bible teacher once and she put me in the hall for the remainder of the class.
For the last 19 years I have considered myself agnostic..perhaps borderline atheist. I have also been drowning myself in liquor. Until a month ago. I have been sober 35 days now. I have been going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings a lot. I have a sponsor.
3 weeks back I was reading from the big book (or alcoholics anonymous) about agnosticism and thought something hit me that I finally found a belief, Buddhism. I teared a little and felt like a power was within me.
Now I am not so sure. I think I might go to this Lutheran church down the street. Though I’m not sure if people still wear suits and ties to church, like when I was a kid.
I want to have spirituality and belief in a higher power or the disease of alcoholism will kill me. It has already taken away most of my life. Never married. Never loved anyone. Never had a steady job. Never believed in anything. I am a shell of a human. I really don’t consider myself alive. I exist.
I know the answer is spirituality but how can I just start believing in something..just like that. Snap! Yet I must! I know alcoholics anonymous works. But spirituality is the cornerstone of the program.
I’m going to try this belief buster course that I have heard so many people talking about. It’s a free 6 part mini course and book called “Money & Beliefs - Unlocking Your Abundance”. I’m also going to go to church on Sunday and see if I like what they say. I will not let alcoholism defeat me. Not again. Please comment if you know anything else that might help me. I’d appreciate it!
