Mark Joyner

I'm evaluating a http://www.simpleology.com/training/blogging/index.php">multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you http://www.simpleology.com/training/blogging/index.php">snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Day 8 of the John Selby meditation

I've got to tell you that I am really enjoying this so far. The exercises are only 4 minutes long and make it easy to do three to four times a day.

The bottom line is that you can not make an excuse that you did not have enough time with this approach. I have noticed over the last day or two a calm focused demeanor and also a feeling of peace. When things do get out of control or hectic during the day I have made it a point to take the 4 minutes to do the exercise and it really has helped me combat overwhelm and keep me on track.

I want to review some of the other methods that I have done over the next few weeks with the hopes that some of you will gravitate to different approaches.

That's all for now

My daily routine

I came across a very practical and short daily routine that seems to accomplish a lot in a very short period of 4 -5 minutes.

It comes from a person named John Selby. His approach is simple to follow and easy to do every day, yet the results are very profound. I came across some of his information in one of his books called "Take Charge of your Mind"

I like how he takes you step by step through a very simple practice that builds on its self every day and yet takes no more than 5 minutes to feel the results. Check it out.

In the next few weeks I will talk about all of the different routines I have done over the years and what my experience has been.

Who am I?

I am starting this blog to explore the many avenues, directions and paths one can take when pursuing peace of mind and overall happiness.

I have been exploring meditation in its various forms for over 20 years. I have found that the average person does not have the time or desire to spend 30 minutes to an hour everyday sitting and watching their breath or for that matter the discipline. I do however believe that developing some form of meditation practice is as essential for happiness and feeling whole as exercise and healthy eating to staying fit.

With that in mind I am going to write about the different techniques and programs out there they may help the average person develop a consistent practice in meditation. I believe that there is no one size fits all. I also believe that it may be helpful to try different techniques or programs at different times of the year or even different stages of your life.
