“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.”
~Buddha

For the past month I’ve had a new powerful addition to my morning routine arsenal. It’s given me a reason to pop out of bed in the morning, write 2-3 articles for various sites within 2 hours, and have tremendous energy to burn and vitality and life that overjoys me.

The tool that I use to accomplish this stillness of mind is a program called Inner Peace Audio. In order to help you understand, and really get what this audio program is, the only words I could come up with to do it justice are Meditation on Steroids.

Just like many of you I have been “meaning to” start meditating for awhile because I heard of all the great benefits that meditation has to offer. Here’s a personal list.

“Meditation here may think down hours to moments. Here the heart may give a useful lesson to the head and learning wiser grow without his books.”
~William Cowper

“Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.”
~Swami Sivananda

As part of my New Year’s resolution I began to meditate more and more in the mornings. I really did experience a calmness during the mornings I meditated and an extra boost of energy throughout the day.

Meditation does have great benefits, but I’m going to be the first to admit that some mornings it just seemed like a chore to meditate. The reason for this is that meditation can be boring. Have you ever felt the same way?

It wasn’t until our friendly neighborhood monk gave me a copy of the Inner Peace Audio file that I discovered how to make meditation not boring and take it to the next level. This monk’s Inner Peace Audio consisted of 7 programs that I’ll describe for you right here.

Inner Peace Audio

1. Stillness Audio Process
2. Invocation Audio Process
3. The Inner Clearing Process
4. The Inner Marketing Process
5. The Inner Decision-Making Process
6. The Back On Track Audio
7. Relaxation Audio Process

The Inner Peace Audio system has everything I need to get my day started right. I’m sure you’ve noticed that this Inner Peace Audio has parts such as marketing and decision-making. It’s not a totally zen “ask for a rice bowl” like Siddhartha type of kumbaya tape. That’s what I really liked about it, it’s practical for everyday people.

Click here to get more details about this program from the friendly monk. Let me take a quick step-by-step with you so that you know what benefits each section of the Inner Peace Audio process has in store for you.

1. Stillness

In this part of the audio I felt like meditation started to make sense. Our friendly monk kept me focused on the goal as he led me through simple instructions to a tranquil meditation.

2. Invocation

In this part of the audio I shattered the image of meditation as a boring process. Our friendly monk guided me to a place where I felt like I was REALLY meditating. It’s an experience I wish I could share with you.

3. Inner Clearing

The inner clearing is much like what it’s name implies. It personally helped me to drop some of my limiting beliefs and propel create a clearing for bigger opportunities in life.

4. Inner Marketing

This portion guides you into creating a mental (or heart) statement from which you can attract better opportunities. Instead of sending out negative messages, which other people can certainly pick up (it’s not magic on their part, it’s intuition), you will learn to pro actively send out the best messages in the land.

5. Inner Decision-Making

This is one of my favorites. When I have a big question on my mind, and I just can’t decide which decision to make logically, I pop in my Inner Decision-Making audio and let my subconscious due the deciding for me.

6. Back on Track

I know I write about productivity, but believe me, even I get off track from time to time. Yes, even I procrastinate when it comes to certain things. There are several things that I do to trigger myself to get back on track and this is one of them. It makes me really want to get back into my flow.

7. Relaxation

We can all use a bit more relaxation, right? Even when we’re on vacation we’re not necessarily in a relaxed state of mind and body. Consider this your short-cut or mini-vacation. Pop it in and you’re good to go.

To be totally honest with you I got this Inner Peace Audio for free for the creator. If I didn’t, I can’t honestly say that I would buy it when I heard about it. I have DVDs full of mp3s of personal development audio tapes that I still haven’t listened to. I’m really glad I did get this for free, and I can say that if I did pay for it, it would have been well worth it’s value.

The whole system is $49 and comes with a 1-year, 110% guarantee return policy. If you buy it, listen to it, and don’t like it the author boasts a full return of your money, plus 10% on top of that. I don’t see how you could possibly go wrong with that, can you?

The one thing I’ve been able to do while meditating and listening to Inner Peace Audio is make several adaptations in how I listen. Let me share some of these techniques with you in order to optimize your whole experience.

Meditate The Right Way

1. Make it a habit. Have a set time and place each day. Once it’s a habit it will literally feel uncomfortable for you to miss a day, and that’s where the real benefit of a life long practice takes place.
2. Stretch before you begin. You’re going to be sitting in a weird position (cross-legged) or possibly laying down. The point is you won’t be moving, so it’s a good practice to give yourself a good stretch before you begin. This will also facilitate increased blood flow and feeling of wellness in your body.
3. Do Not Be Disturbed. Easier said than done, right? I wake up before anyone else in the house, so it’s easy for me to get this quite time in. Find the time and place where you won’t be disturbed as well.
4. Burn the Candles. It’s a very zen experience when I light candles during meditation. It allows me to focus on something, rather than closing my eyes or staring into mid-air.
5. It Should Be Hard. Remember that meditation is not supposed to be an easy process. The point is you are working hard to control your mind. This builds discipline and character, and those are the best qualities to get out of meditation and use practically throughout your day.

If you’re still with me go ahead and check out the audio tape for yourself. Like I said it has a 1 year 110% money back guarantee. That means you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
~Bruce Lee
