I’m wondering how to meditate and feel like I’m in a different kind of state when meditating with full concentration, but I NEVER can. How can you like visit other worlds or something like that with meditation? What exactly happens when a person meditates really good? I don’t really know much about it, so if you any more about meditation, please say so. Thanks!
A deep state of meditation is impossible to describe, it’s totally different to normal consciousness, (but not like a drug trip or a dream) it’s like someone took away all the stuff that was clouding your mind and you wake up and realize who you are and where you are. It’s intensely blissful and purifying as well.
But really it’s like trying to describe a colour to a blind person- you have to experience it yourself to understand- everything else is just another bunch of words in your head.
It’s not hard to get into meditation though- try here http://www.freemeditation.ca/
If does works is there any scientific benefits i can get out of Hypnosis? Where should i go to ask for a good hypnotist for any problems I might have in the future? And is There any classes in college i can do for Hypnosis?
There are records of ancient Egyptians and Sumerians using hypnosis. Hypnotic practices are ancient. Hypnosis works and a good hypnotist teaches his patient to perform hypnosis on himself to prolong the effects. Hypnosis is a procedure similar to meditation, but different in method and procedure. While meditation seeks to clear the mind, hypnosis believes in focusing the attention to focus the mind on a singularity of purpose and to change behavior by making actions subconscious, which is what happens when you learn a procedure very well.
There are websites that will give you procedures for hypnotizing yourself and there are books.
I have recommended using hypnosis for relaxation, overcoming anxiety, and learning new skills. There are seminars, but you can learn it from a practitioner.
My friend and I are considering moving into a mobile home instead of an apartment next year. The initial cost of buying and owning the home will be $5000 and the lot rent will be $268 a month. Beyond paying that initial amount to own the home and our rent+utilities, what other costs might we run into in buying the home? Do mobile homes have mortgage rates if you own the home? I dont know much about this at all and I’m looking for as much help as I can get!
If you are buying the mobile home outright with cash, then naturally, you won’t have a loan payment. If you are needing financing, then a mobile home that is not permanently attached to the land is not considered real property, and as such a mortgage loan would not apply. This would be considered a consumer secured loan, and, as such, the interest rates would be higher.
My husband and I are looking to purchase health insurance. We are young (under 25), healthy (non-smokers) and looking for coverage mainly for doctor’s office visits and prescriptions. Can anyone recommend a good website or insurance company that we can look at to choose a plan? We live in Michigan if that makes a difference too.
Health insurance can be very tricky. Since I’m from Nebraska I’m not familiar with the Michigan regulations, so I recommend you call a nearby health insurance agent. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Health-Insurance.html They will be able to help you.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a type of brain stimulation that I’ve only recently heard about. It sounds like a very useful invention. From what I read, it can have strong beneficial effects on addiction, depression, ADHD, and several other debilitating disorders.
What shocked me, though, is the claim that it can increase creativity within 15 minutes by increasing brain activity in the right hemisphere of the brain.
How do you feel about that?
Think ‘Flowers for Algernon’
This, if it proves to work, is just another tool in the progress of our civilization.
other examples of things that artificially inspire creativity
Coffee, Ritalin, adderal, computers, before these people have devised ways of meditation and diets or exercises that promote creativity.
the new wave of "Brain steroids" or drugs like Ritalin are just another form of humans pushing past there biological limits. A computer allows you to store and process more info than your brain could alone.
And for those who say this is not natural then look at society none of it is natural. the fact your using a computer defeats your "lets all be purely natural" argument. When society was close to nature and lived simply the life expectancy was 30 – today its 75 cant have a good life if your dead.
If these new drugs and devices prove safe then I say we use them like we use cars because we are comparatively slow or cloths because we lack proper insulation.
What if a scientist using brain enhancing drugs or devices cures cancer due to those technologies. This type of manipulation is a step forward for humans and i welcome it.
I lost my job a few months ago along with the health insurance, does anyone know where a 24 year old guy, no health problems, etc can find a cheap but good health insurance company?

Hi Absence-Of,
Here is a really SUPER one
Go to:
America has already enjoyed its turn at happiness and prosperity. The rest of the world needs a chance to enjoy the easy life. President Obama will be the one to ensure that the rest of the world comes before the USA (for a CHANGE!). Finally after more than 200 years, we will finally have a President that will make this country something we can be proud of!
Obama 2008!
Yes!
To most on the far left the United States deserved 9/11, just ask Rev. Wright!
I have been reading a lot about past lives and I have been very curious to know if anyone has had past life regression and if you could give me websites that have true stories dedicated just to past lives? Anything would help! Thanks so much
You asked about past lives and websites. http://www.childpastlives.org is a good one, and it has a discussion forum (moderated) you can join if you like. See my profile for a Yahoo group that might interest you.
