This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing! I think meditation is the best antidote to anxiety because you cultivate a strong, peaceful center to keep you anchored in the storms of life.

I remember trying it a few times years ago and just getting frustrated. Then I went to a meditation class at a yoga studio and learn what meditation really was. It's important to remember not to fight with yourself and your thoughts. Your thoughts will arise but you just let them go and focus again on your breath or your mantra.

I joined up but it will not play, I followed
the instructions to a T, I have no problems on any other video/music sites.

Could you please share the link you used to access this?

I'd googled the topic and saw numerous ones so perhaps the one I'd joined doesn't work?

Thanx for sharing and your help....

peace

I installed another media player that I hadn't used in a long time and the program is playing just fine.....so very sorry I didn't think of it at first.

Thank you again for providing this link:)

I already have a YouTube playlist of Deepak's
meditations...

Peace...

Yesterday's meditation was on Personal Safety and Security. Today's is on Happiness. I haven't had a chance to do today's....but I am looking forward to it.

JudyFZ..I know you have had success with meditation. My first experience was like yours...frustrating. Unfortunately I never tried it again. This has music and a narrative from Deepak that seems to work much better for my over active mind...haha! Being that you have experience....I will love to hear what you have to say about this meditation as it goes on!

Immarcie....sounds like you already have experience with this series in some form. Do you think there is something to it?

Lammmm, Lammmmm, Lammmmm, Lammmm...who knew that word could be so calming?...haha. Very interesting.

Being that this is soooo new to me....I am courios to the reactions of others. If you do this series...post your feelings. There is so much press on the power of meditation....just wondering if others here discover any changes due to this experience. They state that there will be...just what will change...I don't know. They call it....Flow?

I do love trying new positive things!

My best to you all!

I was feeling mild anxiety all day yesterday. Nothing bad, but I had the sweaty palms thing going on which was annoying to say the least. As soon as I did this meditation last night I instantly calmed down and no more sweat. It was amazing!

Like you I have trouble turning off my brain so I never had much success with it, but I think having the mantra makes a difference because it gives us something to focus on. Thanks for sharing this. You are always so wonderful.

I hope more people give it a try and we all experience great benefit from it!

I've been doing these since last yr--they will just keep coming-wild divine will send some to you too--I've got about 3 or 4 going right now---and I think they've saved my sanity! strongly recommend.

Blue yonder and hypergal.....thanks for the positive feedback. I have to say I have been trying to loose some of my hibernation weight and the cravings have been crazy. After doing the meditation last night...the cravings went away. Hmmmmm..was it the meditation?

I have yet to today's meditation....I think I will wait till later when cravings for me usually kick in.

I just did today's. I find it really does help.

Hypergal what other meditations do you know of if you don't mind me asking?

Ok...just did today's also. It is 11:15 at night and I am a little bummed that I am not going to be able to use this source of happiness that was just bestowed upon me...other then washing my face , brushing my teeth and hopping into bed...haha!

Lesson Learned:
Meditation is to be done in the morning...so that you can focus on the lesson. "I AM THE SOURCE OF UNLIMITED HAPPINESS." How wonderful!

No luck getting it yet

I did day 1 yesterday, wore my headphones, lit an incense cone (for ambience), lights out,
and.......
Was in TOTAL shock how calm I felt even b4 it was over....I very nearly fell asleep in my chair...even my back that doesn't tolerate my sitting more than 5-10 min. didn't flare up!!
This hasn't happened to me with any other types!!!

Thank you so very much again for sharing.

I did have to use a different "player" for whatever reason, it wouldn't "auto-play".

Hope everyone has as good an experience as I did!!!!

Peace

Hiya Blueyonder---I am doing the Deepak one and the mentor's channel has got one on "becoming fearless" with arianna huffington- it is about 2 weeks in-but free! I was also doing one on the wild divine--but it was really more about feng shui and it was like an hr long-so I dumped it....last yr I did the chopra-oprah one and when you get registered on their website wild divine and mentor's channel will send you various newsletters, ads and sometimes free meditation series....I did one on kirtan chanting that I really liked.....(you don't have to put your real name on any of these sites...lol)

I've also found some on youtube that I like...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vaDln5cEiY (subliminal)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyeDidvpRZw&list=UU19BUrExebbKxKp9kto-BVA (projectmeditation has a website and tons of videos on youtube-they are guided)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKSwDv2aO6U (prayer)

also on youtube just type in "quietmindcafe" -they are all good and there is a website too

there are about a cagillion meditation videos on youtube--I just tried a bunch and found a few I liked.

it has helped me soooo much. even when I don't do it "right"---even when my thoughts wander....even when the mantras get too long for me to remember....lol....

Rats....is there any one out there with a little more computer savvy then I, that can help Pollybizz.

Private message me and maybe I can send it to your email account...that's the best I am capable of.

Try a google search on...Oprah and Deepak 21 day meditation....the web address to look for I. The search will say something like

Chopracentermeditation.com

Let me know.

adventureguide and pollybizz---that first link sent me right to the meditation page--I could even listen to it on adventureguide's acct....is the page being blocked by your security program? do you have windows media player?

you can't click on the day 3 button to hear it--you have to scroll down on the picture and there is a bar with audio--you have to click on the arrow to start it....did any of that help?

lol...I tried!
