What Type of Guided Meditation Floats Your Boat?

When you think of meditation what first comes to mind? Do you picture a group of people, swathed in robes, meditating in a temple? Do you picture a yoga class breathing in and out while meditating? Do you picture sitting on the beach listening to a meditation tape? All of these are examples of guided meditation. guided meditation comes in several forms from group settings to listen to or reading a guided meditation script.

Lets say that you are interested in learning more about meditation. during your first meditation sessions you will most likely need help. Therefore, you need to follow a guide or script to ensure that you fall into a deep meditative state. So which type of guided meditation should you engage in? The answer is that it depends on your preferences. Lets take a look at three different types of guided meditation including yoga, listening to a tape/CD, and reading a meditation script.

1.) guided meditation at a yoga class: Yoga is an excellent way to introduce your mind and body to meditation. You will have a teacher whom will make sure that you have the proper posture and breathing technique during the meditation. This instant feedback is extremely valuable. They will guide you through the process of freeing your mind and filtering out distractions. They want you to succeed and will do everything they can to provide a ripe environment for successful meditation.

2.) Listening to a tape/CD: Perhaps you dont have the time or interest in yoga. Listening to a tape/CD is a great way to meditate. You can find a great deal of guided meditation audio recordings that will walk you through the meditation process. You just pop on your headphones and listen.

Another advantage of listening to a tape/CD is that you can choose your topic. For instance, you can listen to a deep breathing meditation, a meditation on losing weight, a meditation on improving your self confidence, and the list goes on and on. You can even find guided meditation tapes/CDs that you listen to while you are asleep. They send subliminal messages to your brain all night long. You wake up in the morning refreshed, energized, and ready to experience the new day.

3.) Reading a meditation script: If you are not an auditory person then you can read a guided meditative script. The script will outline how to prepare for your meditative session. It will guide you through the posture you need and the deep breathing sequence you should use. It will provide details about what to think about and visualize during your meditation session. The script will tell you how to finish off your session and what to do in the mean time before your next session.

Where can you find these guided meditation methods? You can find a Yoga studio in your local area by combing the telephone book and Internet. You can find plethora of tapes/CDs on the Internet and at your local book store. You can find meditation scripts online at a variety of meditation related websites. You can try all three methods to find the method that works best for you. Remember, your preference should be based on your feelings and desires, not on what your friend or family members think. Meditation is a personal experience.

Most meditators don't know how to extract the maximum benefit from the practice of meditation. If you would like to master healing meditation and also learn about meditation music, then please go to: http://www.onlinemeditationguru.com/

Burglar Alarms Myths

Many people think that burglar alarms are expensive to install and maintain, or that they don't deter burglars; this articles explodes these, and other, myths.

Burglar alarms are expensive
Not true. There are many types of burglar alarm and many are very inexpensive, and surprisingly they are all generally built around the same basic components. These range from the easy to fit and effective alarms which cost less than 100 and can be installed D.I.Y to the complex and sophisticated systems which can cost many thousands and require specialist engineers to install. However, most domestic systems do not have to be expensive and can be fitted quite easily.

burglar alarms must be professionally installed
Not true. D.I.Y. alarms can be installed by anyone with "do it yourself" skills, and the wireless systems are simple and easy to install.

burglar alarms require monthly payments for a service contract
Not true. Although it is common for many alarm companies to require that burglar alarm owners pay monthly maintenance charges this is not necessary for many domestic alarm systems. maintenance contracts should not be a condition for the installation of a burglar alarm.

burglar alarms are nuisance to the neighbours
Not true. Most neighbours will appreciate the benefits of an alarm system and will often take a look around your property if they hear the alarm siren.

Alarm Monitoring is always expensive
Not true. Alarm monitoring can be an expensive optional extra for the home owner but if you choose an auto dial system the alarm will call your mobile or a set number of landline numbers so you can monitor the system personally without any additional expense.

Burglars wouldn't be interested in my house
Not true. Most burglars are not career professionals; rather they are opportunist thieves who choose their targets at random. These thieves will burgle any property, in any area, if they think they can steal something of value, they will even your garden ornaments.

Alarms won't stop determined burglars
Not true. Most determined burglars would rather avoid any property where there appears to be an alarm fitted. They are well aware of the risks associated with alarms and they know there are plenty of homes they can steal from where they do not have to deal with the additional problems of alarm systems. If, however, you have extremely valuable personal property to safeguard you would be well advised to seek out a very sophisticated alarm system because you could be the target of professionals rather than opportunist thieves.

A burglar alarm indicates valuable property
Not true. Very many homes have burglar alarms installed to protect everyday items such as TV, Hi Fi, computer equipment etc. research has shown that a home with a burglar alarm installed is four times less likely to be burgled than a home without an alarm. burglar alarms are generally accepted as being a major deterrent to intruders.

Intruders can easily cut the burglar alarm cables
Not true. The answer is to install a wireless system where there are no visible wires to cut. These systems are readily available and are very easy to fit.
