A Loved One in the Bardo?
(HayHouseRadio.com) Ever suspected that someone stuck in the Bardo (see Tibetan Book of the Dead) — an in-between state some go to when they die because they can’t find the Light — is trying to hitch a ride out of there? Deborah tells the astonishing story of how she connected with the Bardo one day only to have thousands of “hitchhikers” latch on to her and how she helped them on to the Light.

Meditating on the Four Elements

Rather than struggling with the too-simple (and therefore too complicated for the overthinker) in-and-out breathing meditation, it is effective to take up Four Elements meditation. Here the subject is interesting and constantly changing. The result is eventually the same; only the route is different.

Pa Auk Sayadaw, literally an enlightened scholar-practitioner, teaches this method to those who do not progress to absorption and insight by concentrating on the breath. (Author and meditator Stephen Snyder is an excellent example of someone who succeeded using this meditation finding it futile to get anywhere with the breath).

The object is to perceive the Four Great Elements (maha-bhuta) in oneself. The characteristics or qualities of materiality are:

1. Earth-element: hardness, roughness, heaviness, softness, smoothness, lightness.
2. Water-element: flowing, cohesion.
3. Fire-element: heat, coldness.
4. Air-element: supporting, pushing.

De-stress with Brain Wave Vibration

Learn how to release stress, clear your thoughts, and allow your body to take care of itself. See brainwavevibration.com for personal stories, news, and other features. Brain Wave Vibration training is one of the simplest forms of Brain Education and also one of the most effective.

It focuses on the most basic part of the brain, the brain stem. The brain stem is critical to health because it is the area of the brain that controls breathing, heart rate, stress response, and many other autonomic functions of the body.

This method is designed to get the neocortex (the thinking part of the brain) out of the way of the brain stem. That is one of the main purposes of meditation.

If one is under continuous stress, it is likely the brain stem cannot reestablish equilibrium in the body. The neocortex is constantly sending messages to the brain stem that keeps one in a fight-flight-or-freeze state. Over time, this leads to tremendous wear and tear on the body and mind.

So what is the way out of this vicious cycle of stress?

One gets out of the way and lets the brain stem do its work. By helping to calm and empty the thinking mind, Brain Wave Vibration training allows one to transcend the negative thought patterns and emotions that keep one constantly in a state of stress.

Brain Wave Vibration training uses vibrations in the body to change the vibrations in the brain, creating waves that resonate properly with the rest of the body's functions. Through the gentle rhythms created in the body, release bodily tension and bring the brain toward a calm, meditative state.
