In the United States, meditation was seen as part of religions other than Christianity. So it was often viewed as suspicious and therefore something to be avoided. Fortunately, that has changed. The authors of this workshop see it as a technique, like reading. Reading is valuable because of what we choose to read. We can read uplifting and encouraging writing. We can read things that educate us, entertain us, and/or help us in our daily lives. Or we can read other things that are the opposite and can even be damaging. In a similar way, meditation is valuable because of how we choose to do use it. In this workshop, meditation is presented as an intuitive method in itself and also as gateway to other intuitive methods. For these reasons and many others, meditation can be extremely valuable. Because of how meditation has incredibly changed the lives of the authors and many others that they know, this workshop contains specific, practical ways to make meditation easier and more powerful. Anyone reading these words is strongly encouraged to seriously pursue meditation as a method to enrich your life by finding what works best for you. The brain frequency levels measured by science can be used to designate meditation Levels. These are Alpha, Theta, Delta and Gamma. Simple methods for reaching progressively deeper levels can be found in this workshop as follows: Alpha is given in Level I; Theta in Level II; Delta and Gamma in Level III. While years of training, practice, and techniques have been traditionally used to reach these levels, the authors experience and expectations are that simple methods are all that are needed, but that benefits are gained through practice. If you have followed this workshop in the order that it is presented, you may have already experienced the simple method for Alpha. If not, please be sure to start with it (click here to return to Alpha). Reaching the Alpha level is the first step in reaching deeper levels. The Alpha level is very powerful and extremely useful. In the past, many people have reached only the Alpha level. However, with the shift that is called 2012, it is our Best Guess that it will become easier to reach the deeper levels. Here are some more details that will be very useful in using the meditation teachings in this workshop:
