Meditation: Do Yoda Proud

Do Yoda Proud: Meditation 101

Meditation refers to a status where your body and mind are consciously relaxed and focused.  Practitioners of this art report increased awareness, focus, and concentration, as well as a more positive outlook in life.

Meditation is most commonly associated with monks, mystics and other spiritual disciplines.  However, you don’t have to be a monk or mystic to enjoy its benefits.  And you don’t even have to be in a special place to practice it.  You could even try it in your own living room!

Although there are many different approaches to meditation, the fundamental principles remain the same.  The most important among these principles is that of removing obstructive, negative, and wandering thoughts and fantasies, and calming the mind with a deep sense of focus.  This clears the mind of debris and prepares it for a higher quality of activity.

The negative thoughts you have – those of noisy neighbors, bossy officemates, that parking ticket you got, and unwanted spam– are said to contribute to the ‘polluting’ of the mind, and shutting them out is allows for the ‘cleansing’ of the mind so that it may focus on deeper, more meaningful thoughts.

Some practitioners even shut out all sensory input – no sights, no sounds, and nothing to touch – and try to detach themselves from the commotion around them.  You may now focus on a deep, profound thought if this is your goal.It may appear deafening at first, since we are all too accustomed to constantly hearing and seeing things, but as you continue this exercise you will find yourself becoming more aware of everything around you.

If you find the meditating positions you see on television threatening – those with impossibly vaulted backs, and painful-looking contortions – you need not worry.  The principle here is to be in a comfortable position conducive to concentration.  This may be while sitting cross-legged, standing, lying down, and even walking.

If the position allows you to relax and focus, then that would be a good starting point.  While sitting or standing, the back should be straight, but not tense or tight.  In other positions, the only no-no is slouching and falling asleep.

Loose, comfortable clothes help a lot in the process while tough proper clothes have a movement to block you up and make you feel tense.

The place you perform meditation should have a soothing atmosphere.  It may be in your living room, or bedroom, or any place that you feel comfortable in.  You might want an exercise mat if you plan to take on the more challenging positions (if you feel more focused doing so, and if the contortionist in you is screaming for release).  You may want to have the place arranged so that it is soothing to your senses.

Silence helps most people relax and meditate, so you may want a quiet, isolated area far from the ringing of the phone or the humming of the washing machine.  Pleasing scents also help in that regard, so stocking up on aromatic candles isn’t such a bad idea either.

The monks you see on television making those monotonous sounds are actually performing their mantra.  This, in simple terms, is a short creed, a simple sound which, for these practitioners, holds a mystic value.

You do not need to perform such; however, it would pay to note that focusing on repeated actions such as breathing, and humming help the practitioner enter a higher state of consciousness.

The principle here is focus.  You could also try focusing on a certain object or thought, or even, while keeping your eyes open, focus on a single sight.

One sample routine would be to – while in a meditative state – silently name every part of you body and focusing your consciousness on that part. While doing this you should be aware of any tension on any part of your body.  Mentally visualize releasing this tension.  It works wonders.

In all, meditation is a relatively risk-free practice and its benefits are well worth the effort (or non-effort – remember we’re relaxing).

Studies have shown that meditation does bring about beneficial physiologic effects to the body.  And there has been a growing consensus in the medical community to further study the effects of such.  So in the near future, who knows, that mystical, esoteric thing we call meditation might become a science itself!

How To Date Younger Women

Dean Cortez is back. In this column I’ll answer a question one of my readers had about how to get a very hot younger woman back to his place… and I decided to reveal a very simple but extremely effective strategy that I’ve been using recently.

Special tactics must be used, and special considerations made, when the situation involves an older man and younger woman.  In order to pull off an older man-younger woman relationship, you’ve got to understand — and know how to counter — her suspicions, anxieties, and insecurities. Even more importantly, you’ve got to know the advantages that you possess as an older guy — and how to capitalize on them.

Anyway, on to the letter…

* * * * *

Hi Dean,

I’m a 39-year-old advertising executive and the other day, I met a girl at my gym who is a KNOCKOUT.

24 years old, from Brazil, and so friggin’ beautiful that every guy in the room couldn’t stop staring
when she got on the Stairmaster!

I was lucky enough to be on the Stairmaster next to her, and I used some of the techniques
in your new program, “Dating Younger Women,” to start a fun, interesting conversation with her.

I “closed” the conversation by getting her phone number and telling her I was going to check out this new Brazilian restaurant on Friday night. I mentioned the great food and music,  told her I knew she would love it, and invited her to come along. (Your book taught me how to get a girls phone number the correct way, and ask her out, instead of fumbling and getting turned down.)

So, we are set to go out on Friday night…

But Dean, my brother, this is no ordinary date.

This chick is the woman of my dreams. I’ve always had a thing for hot, curvy Brazilian women with incredible bodies and long, silky black hair…
 
Honestly, is there a guy who DOESN’T? Lol…

Anyway, I need some Advanced Tactics here so that I make sure this date is a success.

I don’t want a hug and a handshake at the end of the night. I want to take this girl home and
“seal the deal.”

Can you hook me up with a Tactic that is guaranteed to score a home run?

- Rich, New York City

* * * * *

Dean Cortez here. I’ve got a move for this situation  that I developed recently, and it’s KILLER.

The first thing you need to understand is, women (especially younger ones) have a FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.

This is why it’s so important to project that you are a safe, stable, trustworthy guy.

You can make this happen by dropping hints (or “planting seeds”) during the conversation. You already know all about this if you’ve read my books.

Now in this situation…when your objective is to bring her back to your place tonight…and she’s never been to your place before…it is natural for her to feel some reluctance.

This is because the environment where you live is unknown to her.

Her female radar “kicks in,” and her mind comes up with reasons NOT to go there, such as…

- Maybe your house/apartment is filthy and unsanitary. (Women feel uncomfortable in that type of environment.)

- You might have some weirdo roommate who is going to creep her out.  

- You might have a girlfriend or wife that you didn’t tell her about — and she might show up and start some drama!

- You might live REALLY far away. She might get lost when trying to drive home.

Those are just some of the things she might be thinking. It doesn’t matter if your residence has none of those issues. TELLING her that your place is clean, and close, and comfortable, isn’t really going to assuage her concerns. She needs to experience it for herself.

The bottom line is this: you’ve got to eliminate her suspicions and fears so that it’s easy for her to think, “sure, why not, your place sounds OK. Let’s go there.” 

So how do you make her think this way?

You SHOW her your place, and let her become familiar with it, BEFORE you take her out on the date!

It’s actually SUPER easy to do…

Here is how you play it. When you call her and set up the date, tell her to MEET YOU outside of your place, so that you can ride in your car together and go to the date location.

(Bar, restaurant, coffee shop, whatever.)

Women ALWAYS agree to this. Because A), they are curious about where you live. They are nosy! They want to check out the exterior of your home/apartment/condo.

(Notice, you didn’t say “come over and hang out at my place.” You said, “meet me OUTSIDE my place so that we can ride to the restaurant together.”

And B), they feel more comfortable riding in your car with you, especially if the date location is a place they are not familiar with. She’d probably rather have you handle the driving.

OK, now here is how to use this Tactic –

When her car pulls up to your place, go outside — like you’re ready to go on the date — and then tell her you forgot to do something. You need to go back inside and send an email or make a phone call:

“Hey! How are you…oh my God, I just remembered, I need to send an email (or make a phone call) before we go. It’s for my work. Come inside for a minute.”

She will agree to this. Naturally, she is curious to see the INTERIOR of where you live.

So you bring her into your place …

Get her a glass of wine, or a bottle of water (never from the tap), and then go into the other room and pretend to send your email or make your phone call.

The idea is that you’re letting her familiarize herself with your pad. This will no longer be an “unknown environment” to her.

While you spend 5 or 10 minutes in the other room, you are leaving her alone to CHECK OUT your pad.

And trust me, she WILL check it out. She’ll snoop around a little, look at your pictures, maybe check inside your fridge…she’ll look for any evidence of a girlfriend (or wife) you didn’t mention…

And this means you MUST have a clean place. Your bathroom needs to be totally spotless. I’m serious, your bathroom should be absolutely germ-free! That’s how clean it should be.

Why? Because she will probably want to use it. (Some nice scented candles and soft bath towels make a good impression.)

So, after 5 or 10 minutes, you finish up your “business” and you come back into the living room and rejoin her. Now the two of you get in your car and go on your date.

I know that sounded really simple. However, what you just did made a very positive psychological impact on her.

Because, at the end of the date, when you suggest going back to your place — to have a glass of wine, watch a movie, or whatever other strategy you use from my Dating Younger Women program – she ALREADY KNOWS your environment.

She already KNOWS that your home is a comfortable place to go back to, and chill out.

She knows your place is comfortable and clean — and that you’re not a weirdo who is going to try to grope her as soon as she comes inside.

So you take her out for a nice time, you get her back to your place, and that is when the MAGIC happens ;)

I used that simple tactic last week with two different hot younger women — a 23 year old, and a 27 year old.

Use it — and enjoy. Check out the site YoungerDating.com to learn the secrets that over 25 top dating and seduction gurus use to flirt with younger women. An older man-younger women relationship is a lot more natural — and easy to pull off — than you think!

Your Wingman,

For Healthy Air, You Need an Air Cleaner

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

You might not be aware of it, but the truth of the matter is that most of the air you breathe isn’t very clean. And worse than that, it’s not likely to get any cleaner in the future. Even your own home isn’t a safe haven. The amount of polluted air in modern homes is so bad that it can put your health at risk.

This is why you must take steps to ensure that the air you are breathing is as clean and pure as possible. Fortunately, that’s not as difficult as you might imagine. When you use an effective air cleaner, it can have a big impact on the quality of air in your environment.

Air cleaners are very useful for eliminating dangerous particles that can be found in the air around you. These include chemicals, dust, pet dander and all manner of other potentially dangerous allergens. This can help to forestall various ailments like the common cold, the flu, pneumonia and bronchitis, as well as other respiratory problems.

You can also eliminate many common household smells with a home air purifier. These include tobacco smoke, gases, pesticides, cat litter and aerosols. Things like varnish, paint and glue produce noxious odors, but an air cleaner can take care of these as well.

Air cleaners are also excellent at combating microorganisms like antigens, bacteria, mold, pathogens, and even viruses that are regularly found in the air indoors. When inhaled, these particles are sure to make you feel unwell.

There is a range of air cleaner technology to choose from. Among the choices are the ionic, UV and HEPA air purifier. These kinds of purifiers can successfully clean the air and also take away odors and vapors very effectively.

Once you realize the reasons why you should get an air cleaner, you need to start looking for a specific kind that addresses the particular situation in your home. Of course, having appropriate ventilation in your home will turn out to be a big help too. To get the most efficient use from your air cleaner, make sure to air out your rooms regularly to release some of the pollutants in your home.

Easy Guitar Lessons & Common Mistakes!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

When I first started learning the guitar my father taught me. However as my old man would always tell, “you can’t cut corners, you have to practice!”. Well of course to my horror he was right.

Eventually I did practice and developed into a pretty good guitarist over time. However I remember back when I started, some of the errors and bad habits that I collected that were rather tough to break. So if you are a new guitar player or want to be one soon, then I am sure you will find this article useful to help you avoid the mistakes I made.

The first thing I did wrong was not tapping my foot while I played. Tapping your foot allows you to keep time and is very important if you want to feel the rythym. When I realised this, or should I say it was pointed out to me, I tried to just start tapping along, and found it really hard to keep playing. Eventually I got it, but it would have been alot easier if I had done this from the beginning.

Another mistake that I regretted was not learning to play with a pick. I use to just strum with my hand, and use my middle finger and thumb together like a pick. Sure I could make a good sound but no where near as nice as a pick. So when I stated to play with a pick I once again found it really tough and it took me months to correct this error.

Mistake number three was not learning to play the guitar while standing up using a strap. I always played sitting on the side of my bed or a chair and I remember trying to play at a friends house once standing up and I could barely do it. My hand and arm just weren’t used to it and once again this took months to correct.

Finally another thing I would have done differently if I were learning is to have taken lessons a lot sooner and also taken them online. Now in my own defence they didn’t have the quality of the online guitar course that there are today, however if I did have that opportunity I would definitely had taken it.

The great thing about learning the guitar online is that you can take guitar lessons in Melbourne or guitar lessons in Los Angeles, or anywhere in the world, and the best part is that you only pay once. Plus you can take your lessons when and where you like. Had I had this opportunity I know I would have learned guitar a lot faster.

Depression Tips – Things You Should Know about Depression Medications

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

For more advice about depression treating and an updated version of medications for depression go to Panic and Anxiety Gone Review

Just because you feel sad and depressed for a few days does not mean that you have depression. Depression can last for years, it’s a serious illness. Each year about 15 million Americans suffer from this illness. And yet, sadly, only about 1/3 of those people seek medical care. The age- old stereotype associated with mental illness influences many to still avoid admitting they suffer from depression. Depression is a progressive illness. Without treatment it will take over your life. It cannot be ignored.

A variety of factors, and even combinations of these factors, lead to depression. These include the whole spectrum of genetic, biological, physical and emotional items. The day to day lives of the victim may even have a role. Stress and other negative influences have been known to contribute. It takes a lot of knowledge to address a complex issue like depression. The human mind is very complicated as well. The medical profession is working steadily in an attempt to study the mind and how it works. We know that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. We are learning more every day about how the whole process works. The more we learn about depression the better we can treat it.

Depression can be treated with a host of available medications. Of course the market is full of ‘quick fix’ antidotes. Clinical tests to prove something really works in treating depression are required. Not too long ago people who were considered mentally ill were thrown into asylums, never again to be seen or heard. Fortunately that has all been changed. It was 1988 when Prozac, an anti-depressant, first came into wide use in America. Although it has side effects it is widely used and it is effective.

Since that time more and more use has been made of a new class of anti-depressants. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, SSRI, are being used today. These include Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa, and Luvox. All have been proven effective but come with varied side effects. The market is also ripe with herbal medications and treatments. The majority of these that have been proven to work as well as the anti-depressants contain the St. John Wort extract ingredient called ‘hyperforin’. If this ingredient is used in the proper strength it is effective. Research and information are your friends when it comes to the right medications for depression.
