Subconscious Mind Power Techniques: How To Train Your Brain

Subconscious Mind Power Techniques: How To Train Your Brain

ON this page of our life coaching course / positive psychology course we reveal subconscious mind power techniques that help you to train your brain.

This exercise is the second part of our article on subconscious mind power techniques and will  show how to train your brain through simple subconscious mind power techniques. In this exercise we shall use an example goal of starting to go to the gym again after a long period of absence.

Subconscious Mind Power Techniques: How To Train Your Brain  Part 1 : Realisation.

As we mentioned previously, the subconscious mind is something of a lawyer when it comes to facts. For this reason it is very important to state our objective correctly. Normally, in this scenario, we might think something like,  ‘I have to go to the gym, but it’s going to hurt.’ This sentence is what we may consider realistic – our muscles may well hurt as we exercise – and should we say this to ourselves it almost certainly will become a reality because we will get what we asked for.

A better way to express our aim would be, ‘I am having fun at the gym and am pleased I am still fit.’ To some, this statement might seem unrealistic – fun… at the gym…? – but if we can just bring ourselves to say it, we will start our subconscious down the route of associating the gym with fun, not only making us want to go, but making the experience itself more enjoyable. This is the first step: state your objective in a positive way.

This point about simplicity and clarity of objective is very important. As any masters in positive psychology or life coaching teachers will tell you, the more simply you can express what you want, the more likely you are to get it.

How to Do Maum Meditation

How to Do Maum Meditation

Many people are just starting to learn how to do Maum meditation technique. Maum meditation is a relatively new meditation technique, having been founded in 1996 by Woo Myung in South Korea. Maum Meditation is based around the idea that most people live in a false world and no in reality itself.

Those who practice Maum meditation believe the technique enable practitioners to move out of the false world.

 How to do Maum Meditation: Instructions

The maum meditation technique uses eight stages. The first seven stages prepare practitioner to leave the false world and enter the real world.

1: The first stage of maum meditation aims to create oneness between the practitioner and the universe. To do this stage, sit comfortably on a meditation cushion or yoga mat. Now visualise the death of your physical body and imagine your soul floating off into space.

2: The second stage of muam meditation gets the practitioner to recognise “False Mind.” This stage moves you past feelings, emotions and thoughts. To do this step of the muam meditation imagine that you are in space and there is a black hole next to you. Now visualise yourself throwing your emotions and thoughts into this black hole. Now throw your spiritual self into the black hole.

3: This stage destroys your emotions and memories. To do it, imagine that you are putting everything that defines you (your possessions and such) onto a conveyor belt. Visualise your possessions moving along the conveyor belt into a fire. They are destroyed.

4: The fourth stage of the maum meditation requires that you do a simple chore like cleaning the dishes. Associate this task with the destruction of your physical form.

5, 6 and 7: Stages five six and seven are repeats of stage 4 with different chores. With each chore you do imagine your physical form being destroyed more and more.

The Basics of Meditation

Before you begin to learn meditation and start discovering all the powerful meditation techniques it is imperative that you understand the basics of meditation for beginners.

Here are the most important things to know when beginning meditation

You should always be comfortable and have good posture when meditating

Meditation is about awareness. Whenever you meditate, you are observing something. Observe calmly like a spectator.

All meditation is nonjudgmental. Meditate without judgment.

So, let’s get to the meditation techniques for beginners

Transcendental meditation

Transcendental meditation is one of the most famous meditation techniques in the world. 

Here’s how to do a Transcendental Meditation (TM).

1. Sit comfortably with good posture
2. Take two minutes to relax
3. Meditate for five minutes on your breath. (For more on breath meditation sees below)
4. Bring mantra to mind. A mantra is a phrase. For instance “I am calmly and at peace.”
5. Meditate on this mantra for twenty minutes

That’s it! Easy. So, what’s next?

Breathing meditation

Breathing meditation is the most basic meditation in the world. Here’s how to do it.

1. 
   
2. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Specifically, focus on the sensation of your breath coming and going through the space between lips and nose.
3. Do not control your breathing. Let your body control your breathing.
4. Thought will come to mind. Be aware of these thoughts but do not judge them and do not attach to them. Simply be aware of them.
5. Continue for twenty minutes (most meditations take 20 mins).

Zen Walking Meditation

Zen walking meditation is the most popular movement meditation in the world. Here’s how to do this meditation technique for beginners.

1. Find a path that is about 20 metres long. Make sure its somewhere safe. The path should be straight.
2. Begin walking slowly up the path.
3. Focus your mind 100% on the sensation of walking. Be aware of each part of the movement.
4. Walk to the end of the path, turn around and repeat.
5. When you do a Zen walking meditation you are focussing 100% on the movement in a nonjudgmental way.

Mantra meditation

A mantra meditation is very similar to Transcendental Meditation. Here’s how to do it.

1. 
   
2. Find somewhere peaceful and sit down.
3. Close your eyes for two minutes and focus on your breathing.
4. Begin to recite your mantra. An example of a mantra is “I am one with the universe.”
5. Focus your mind 100% on this manta.

You have probably notice by now that all meditation techniques for beginners are about focussing your mind 100% on one thing. This sounds really easy but is actually quite hard. The problem is that we have learned over the course of our lives to fill our minds with thoughts. When we meditate we undo this practice, learning to quiet the mind and focus on the moment.

Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation isn’t actually any different to meditation. The only reason why the word Mindfulness exists in the modern day is because many people have issues with the word “meditation.” They see “meditation” as a religious word. Most non religious people call meditation mindfulness. This is also why meditation, when used in hospitals and professional organisation s goes by the word”mindfulness” – in order to avoid religious connotations.

So, how do you do a mindfulness meditation? It’s easy. In fact, it’s precisely the same as what we have covered so far. When you’re practicing mindfulness you focus your mind 100% on the present moment. You can do this while doing anything. For instance, if you’re doing the dishes do them mindfully. If you’re walking do it mindfully. If you’re talking to someone listen mindfully. And so on.

Loving Kindness Meditation

Loving Kindness Meditation is a meditation that is used to promote feelings of (surprise) love and kindness. Most Buddhists do this meditation daily. As the Dalai Lama said “Kindness is my religion”. Here’s how t do a loving kindness meditation

1. Go somewhere quiet and sit comfortably with good posture.
2. Close your eyes and focus your mind on your breathing.
3. Now, what you’re going to do is extend thoughts of loving kindness to people in your lives. You begin with yourself and extend love and kindness to yourself. Then you’re friends and family. Then neutrals. Then people who you do not particularly get along with.
4. When doing a loving kindness meditation you imagine extending love to these people, individually and say “May [name of person] have love and kindness. May [person] have strength, love, kindness and happiness. May they also have the strength to overcome any troubles in life. I am one with [name of person].

These are the most popular meditation technique for beginners. I recommend picking one of the meditation techniques for beginners and using it once a day for twenty minutes a time.

There are many many more meditation techniques in the world. Meditation has existed for over 3500 years. In that time, many different meditation techniques have emerged, from Kundalini Meditation to Osho meditation and beyond. Each of these meditation techniques offers its own benefits. Some meditation techniques are exceptional for confidence, others for peace, some for love, still more for healthy and so on. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn meditation, there will be a corresponding meditation techniques. That’s why I created the free online meditation course atTheDailyMeditation.com.
