I found your blog through a post you...Hello Riley,<br /><br />I found your blog through a post you sent to the WWP loop today regarding Beta Waves. I plan to read through all of these posts, so I am beginning with this first one (MEDITATION).<br /><br />I've wanted to learn how to meditate for a LONG time, but I don't know how. Here by me, they hold free classes that meet a couple times a week, and teach you, but I've yet to attend one. I suppose I'm just too shy. Maybe one day soon. :) <br /><br />I'm really looking forward to reading your posts on the different Brain Waves. I'm particularly interested in Beta Waves. I have a CD called HIGH FOCUS that is used for active, lucid thinking. I ordered it from the Kelly Howell/Brain Sync website. It is a Beta Wave, and is supposed to help with alertness, concentration and cognition. However, I've found I cannot listen to this CD very long, as it makes me nervous, irritated and gives me a headache. <br /><br />I have two other CD's. INCREASE CREATIVITY which is a Theta Wave and SUPER LEARNING Subliminal which is also a Theta. I've only listened to them a few times, but I've found these two don't affect me the way the Beta does.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to reading your posts on Brain Wave Therapy and learning more about this technique. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />~CarolCarol Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241742760871273352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-28025189752394418192011-03-19T03:17:22.718+01:002011-03-19T03:17:22.718+01:00I've just read through all your brain posts. F...I've just read through all your brain posts. Fascinating stuff. Yoga and meditation are both such powerful ways of brain training, aren't they? I've heard that even a five minute break used to slow your mind down works wonders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-39395011085135505412011-03-13T00:16:44.385+01:002011-03-13T00:16:44.385+01:00Hi Eva.

In your shoes, I would probably get up a little earlier than usual.<br /><br />I'm sure you probably don't get tons of sleep but you would be surprised how rested and rejuvenated you feel after. If that doesn't work, try for when the kids are down for a nap or at night. <br /><br />Start small, maybe 10 minutes at a time. And use a trigger (like the incense I mentioned) every time before you start. Once you've trained your brain, every time you use that trigger, it will relax you so much quicker and you'll make better use of what little time you have.<br /><br />Hope these comments help. Feel free to email me if you need any more suggestions.Riley Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363595230073330154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-86691921831463160292011-03-12T03:57:38.829+01:002011-03-12T03:57:38.829+01:00Hi Riley, I have been trying to get into a good ro...Hi Riley, I have been trying to get into a good routine of meditating, but w/four kids, who need constant attention/supervision, a dog who needs the same, and a truck driver hubby and the whole normal day to day life, it is hectic and challenging to sit and meditate the same place nonetheless the ame time everyday. Any other pointers to get around those, I'm all open.

Someone (can't remember who now as it's been years) once said don't think you don't have time to meditate. You don't have time not to. I find it true. It seems that the more I meditate, the easier it is for me to get things done. I think it helps my focus.<br /><br />Janice, how neat. I've only ever had that once. You and I can both get back in the practice together.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by today, ladies.Riley Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363595230073330154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-66050902799260899542011-03-11T23:17:09.321+01:002011-03-11T23:17:09.321+01:00I've done it.

I was in a heightened relaxed state so it happened. <br /><br />I really need to start meditating again. I miss that relax state.<br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-47108746919218310512011-03-11T22:11:03.265+01:002011-03-11T22:11:03.265+01:00I've considered it, just to help quiet all the...I've considered it, just to help quiet all the 'noise' around me and in my head.
