Optimizing Deeper Learning and Being Through "Directed Meditation"

Only that which you are consciously aware of has anything to do with your life.

Michael Singer

So then, how do we change our life for the better? How do we find peace with what is as we learn to handle reality? Is there an alternative to getting what we want?

Hmm! 

We, I believe, need to learn to refocus our attention...to become aware of  Life beyond what "little me" desires...to explore consciousness deeper. 

How do we explore consciousness and become more aware of deeper things?

We begin the awakening process which must definitely include looking inward. 

How do we look deeply inward when there is such a mess in there that is in the way? 

We must clean up the mess that prevents us from going deeper and getting to the truth of who we are. We must release the veil of samskaras.We must purify. 

How do we do that?  

There are many, many ways to purify. We need to learn to relax into what is. Meditation is one way to help us do that. There is another way that uses meditation, in a sense, but takes it to a more directed form.

People are sometimes confused about the difference between hypnosis and meditation. I would say they are very similar states, the exception being that hypnosis has a direction to it, an outcome you have decided before you begin, while meditation is more formless. (pg 106) ...

Hypnosis may help us accept reality. It may help us to learn to thrive in it.  

Hypnosis, therefore, can be thought of as a learning state in which we can optimize our thinking and refine our strategies. (pg 109)...

We may enhance the functioning of all three outer koshas (physical, energetic, and mental bodies), possibly, with the practic of NLP. Neurolinguistic Programming is an advanced form of hypnosis that has the power to change neurochemistry.

What makes NLP powerful is that it teaches people how to have more freedom, how to be smarter, how to be more talented. (pg 113)

I am exploring to see if we can use self-hypnosis and NLP with the directed intention of removing some of that veil layer in the way of us experiencing who we really are at the deepest level. 

I do not know if this will be truly effective...I am just experimenting. So I am reading and studying.  More than anything I am practising on myself...over and over and over again :) .

All is well.
