So many ways.... 

There are countless ways to reach inner peace.

I tried many of them, and somehow they did not give me what I wanted most: Profound, stable, warm inner peace...

In this lens I share the ones I tried, they might work for you; and I share what has worked for me.

Some of these methods are expensive, some you can get from a friend (fill in the form below for details); some are free and just as good as the expensive ones...

If you don't know where to start you will spend a lot of money, just like me. So I want to invite you to join me on my adventure, and make use of everything I have learned thus far.

Just go with me, do the steps as provided in this lens, and follow the guidelines.

I'll show you the easiest (and cheapest) way to reach your goal of Inner Peace.

The two vital elements you need 

In your quest towards Inner Peace, you need to have two elements in place,
1. An easy, usable meditation technique.
2. An easy, workable technique to balance your energy.

Now this might all sound very whoo-whoo to you, or at least unfamiliar, but trust me, you'll start to understand the why and the how very soon.

1. The meditation techniques 

In the category meditation techniques, I have studied various possibilities, which does not mean that there aren't many valid and good meditation techniques out there which I don't know of!

The ones I share here with you, are the ones I use on a regular basis.
I started off with Vipassana meditation. Below I will share with you a simplified form of it, but I recommend that you search for the term on Google, and get yourself familiar with the basics of the technique. Vipassana is a very good way to start your meditation practice.

After Vipassana, I proceeded to Holosync (Centerpointe), not so much for myself, but because I have clients who do better in a guided meditation. If you want free samples of guided meditations, please sign up below, I have plenty to share.

Vipassana: Easy simplified version 

Make yourself comfortable. Make sure you have at least 15 minutes for yourself: no phone, doorbell, children etc.
Now you start observing your own thoughts.
At first they come very fast, they kind of come together, one thought has not yet left before the other one already arrives.
Just observe it.
No judging!
Then you start picking a thought, you place it in a little cloud, and you let the cloud drift away to your left.
When the next thought arrives, you also put that in a cloud, and let the cloud drift away again to your left.
The next thought: same thing.
Over and over again.
After a couple of minutes, you will observe that your thoughts are actually slowing down a bit.
This is the first sign that your brainwaves are slowing down.
Just keep putting your thoughts in clouds:
"Oh, a thought. Let's put it in a cloud."
Remember, no judging!

Every time you play this game with your mind, your mind will become faster in slowing down.
After some days, you will actually get little spells with no thoughts at all in between the clouds.
That is meditation.

Simple, isn't it?

Centerpointe 

An easy meditation technique

Bill Harris, Centerpointes founder, created a series of audios that teach your brain to go in meditative state. They do a free demo-cd, so best is to just try it out for yourself.

If the Vipassana is not for you, or if you do better with a guided meditation, try Holosync (that is how Centerpointe calls this meditation technique). It comprises of a series of audios, which you listen to in a certain order. Your brain gets taught to go into meditative state through the binaural beats and sounds, without you having to do anything consciously. Listening is a nice and relaxing experience, that is for sure. Their banner looks pretty cool:

2. Your Energy Balance 

Most of you will remember Einstein's e=mc2 :-)

Most of us will not remember exactly what it means, but for now it is enough to remember that
"Everything is Energy"..

What does this mean?

Quantum physics discovered that even the most solid material, if looked at under a big microscope, exists of mainly space. The actual particles only are a very small part of the volume of the object, and even those particles will turn into energy fields if we magnify the picture even more.

This means that everything basically is made of the same material, namely energy. Your body, your car, your house, the tree in your garden... everything.

And, even more: All these energy fields resonate with one another.

This has widespread consequences, which no one on earth has yet fully understood.

It means that whatever we do or think towards another being or object, resonates with ourselves in the first place. Any energy we send out, reflects immediately and strongly on our own energy field.

This has two consequences for our quest towards Inner Peace:

1. We have to be aware of what energy we radiate.
2. We have to clean and protect our own energy field.

OK, so far the theory.

1. Awareness.
I have found great ways to become aware of the energy I emit, I started with Karim Hajee's Creating Power. This is an example of an inexpensive but very effective step by step course, and I can full heartedly recommend it. His website is http://creatingpower.com (no, no affiliate link!)

2. Cleaning and Protection.
Here I have started with EFT (a free program), and I followed through with The Healing Codes and the Sedona Method.

EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique 

I'll start with a free but very valuable one.

EFT on Youtube 

The Healing Codes 

The Healing Codes is an expensive, but very thorough treatment. I managed to overcome serious and long term ailments, under which a severe tinnitus (following a bad concushion 5 years ago), debilitating headaches and allergies.
A warning beforehand:
You need perseverance to go through the first phase.
Unlike EFT, the symptoms normally do not subside straight away, but take some time to dissolve. The healing, in my experience, takes place on a deeper level than with EFT, but I obviously can be wrong here.

For me, at least, it was easier to reach a thorough healing of the causes, while with EFT I managed to reach a quick relief of the symptoms, that however would come back after some time.

I cannot compare it very well with the Sedona Method, which I just started with.

I will send you the link to a one hour teleseminar about The Healing Codes, plus a link to take the Heart Issues Test for free, if you sign up below.

The Healing Codes 

SEDONA method 

This one is not free, but I had great results with it too

IF you still have emotional issues after using EFT, or if you need some more guidance, the sedona method is a good bet.
Sometimes it can be difficult to "look in your own neck" (or in you own ear!), and where with EFT you might need a practitioner to solve those issues, the Sedona method generally helps you without outside help.
The training course is not cheap, but parts of it you can find for free on the internet.

Check the free DVD and CD out at http://sedona.com.


The Sedona technique I love, because of it's easy way to resolve emotional stress. I still have to find out if it works for physical ailments just as good - I will keep you updated in my newsletter if you sign up below.

RinchenChodron Nice job. Posted June 17, 2008

CliveAnderson It is encouraging to see and read such an inspirational and informative lens. I have really enjoyed my time here. Many Thaks. Kind Regards Clive Anderson Posted June 04, 2008

charkamman yes, "Spirituality", I agree. One of my favourite quotes which has similarities: "Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. For what the world needs, is people who have come alive." (I forgot who said it... I think a US president of long ago?) Getting rid of blocks and old pain can suddenly open the door for us to come alive. Thanks for the comment, and thank you for sharing the wonderful information on your own inspiring lenses! Posted May 04, 2008

spirituality I totally agree that sometimes it's not about asking for what you want, but about finding out what you need. Posted May 04, 2008

Is meditation vital for happiness?

Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

absolutely

charkamman says:

yes, absolutely. I never believed it, but now that I meditate everydday, I see the difference. Difficult to explain though. The hightened focus, awareness, happiness, cam«lmth, balance... I don't want to go back to pre-meditating times :-)

Posted April 27, 2008

no, don't think so

RinchenChodron says:

I do not see this as a yes or no thing. Certainly for many people meditation is key to happiness. Other people come from a happy home or situation or disposition naturally. Denfinately for anyone who is challenged in staying optomistic medication can lower blood pressure and lead to balance.

No. I don't think it's for everyone.
