Blast Clear Your Mental State

Use iMusic to unload the baggage and cynicism of your day; burn off stress, tension and strain,and vitalize your inner success force. You'll feel a warming wave of relaxation from top to toe as your blood vessels dilate and your mind re-centers itself. Worries will drip from your consciousness like a crayon melting in the sun. Freeing and liberating thoughts will arise in their place, delivering not just pleasant feelings, but a moment of elevated idealism that must be felt to fully understand.

Research in Point
Meditation is firmly entrenched within the mainstream of health care as a powerful and drug free means of stress and pain reduction. In cases of chronic or terminal illness, meditation is often employed to reduce complications associated with increased stress, including immune system depression. A growing consensus in the medical community feels that mental factors such as stress significantly impact our physical health in a very negative capacity. USA government research by the National Institutes of Health is focusing on the mind-body aspects of disease in 5 centers, and they are finding more and more reasons to support and promote meditation.

Combat ADD and Attention Difficulties

Meditation provokes and trains a broad, wide spanning level of attention, almost the exact opposite of attention deficit disorder (ADD). A more flexible attention span makes it easier to be aware of a situation, easier to be objective in emotionally or morally difficult situations, and easier to achieve a state of responsive, creative awareness or "flow".

Meditation Rewires Your Mental Circuitry For The Best
Dr. James Austin, a neurophysiologist at the University of Colorado, is a huge proponent of meditation with two best selling books (Zen and the Brain, & Zen-Brain Reflections) on the subject. His research has found that meditation rewires the circuitry of the brain, as discovered by the use of functional MRI imaging, which examines the electrical activity of the brain. Meditation has been shown to increase activity in the left prefrontal cortex, which is associated with concentration, planning, meta-cognition (thinking about thinking), and positive affect (good feelings).

Increase Your Metabolism, Improve Your Heart
Studies have shown that meditation has a powerful influence on the human metabolism by lowering the biochemical by products of stress, such as lactate, in addition to decreasing heart rate and blood pressure

Our busy lives seldom afford us time to get mentally down to what matters most. With ZenMeditate, you will be quickly ushered into the perfect place to wipe away negative thoughts and focus on your dreams and aspirations. Happy and successful people always find time to reflect, look ahead and further their own personal belief in themselves.

When it comes to snap judgements, using iMusic to meditate will trigger permanent improvements in your brain and behaviour. Biochemical and brainwave changes will take place that will make you more in control over your feelings and emotions. You will be less likely to react to a situation with anger or an embarrassing and potentially hurtful outburst, and more likely to respond with a proactive and dignified air. Leaders and achievers are always in control of themselves when the going gets tough. ZenMeditate will help give you this skill.

Research In Point
The research and studies of Daniel Goleman, best selling author of Emotional Intelligence, suggests that meditation's strong impact on the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex improves our brain's ability to make snap judgments, and trigger effective responses in moments of social conflict. For normal people, an emotionally charged situation can and often does trigger uncontrollable anger or fear - leading to conflict, anxiety, and stress. A meditator is more able to control these deconstructive outbursts and redirect themselves into a more constructive and positive direction.

Act Like A True Master General

Meditiation will optimize your brain, and improve your demeanour and poise in day to day situations. People will be more likely to describe you as a mannered, assertive and natural leader, rather than hasty, irrational and illogical. You'll profit from a tranquil and reflective solitude that will only bring out admiration and respect in others.

Make those around you feel comfortable with an easy demeanor that blankets your potency and drive, allowing you to conquer with greater ease. It's a proven fact that people only compete and step up their efforts when they feel challenged by an aggressor. By treating others with patience, friendliness and respect, you will find others to become not competition, but sidekicks and colleagues that will help make you better as you do the same for them.

As your mind slows and focuses, the fast paced and complex world around you will do so as well.

So when the building starts falling down, you'll have the inner peace, strength and steady emotional core to hold it up. Those you're surrounded by will become more apt to take your lead, as you become a model of control and emotional consistency that others will want to follow.

Meditation. The word is used to describe a multitude of different actions, each aimed at a variety of different goals. But they all involve turning our focus inward to the mind itself, dissolving old thoughts and opening to new ones. Some do it for eternal peace, while others do it to become healthier and happier.

Research In Point: Dr. Herbert Benson of the Mind-Body Medical Institute, which is affiliated with Harvard and several Boston hospitals, and his team have done clinical studies at Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayan Mountains. He reports that meditation induces a host of biochemical and physical changes in the body collectively referred to as the "relaxation response." The relaxation response includes amazing changes in metabolism, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and brain chemistry.
