But our brain should not be considered like an organ what produces our consciousness, we should consider it instead like product of our consciousness. The connections between cells in our brain become created following necessities of our consciousness. In this way, our brain evolves and produces his self and our implicit consciousness. Therefore, must our mind be seen as a potentiality!

Modern brain research indicates that long-term meditation does in fact balance brain, creating a synchrony between two hemispheres. They discovered that electrical brain wave patterns of meditators changed, in periods of deep meditation, to a single, coherent pattern, indicating that both sides of brain — ordinarily out of phase — were working together in a balanced, synchronous manner. This and other research has demonstrated that this balancing, or synchronization, of hemispheres of brain happens in all forms of meditation. The degree of hemispheric synchronization can be very precisely determined by measuring meditator’s brain wave patterns with an electroencephalograph (EEG) machine. Any kind of focusing will bring about a degree of brain synchronization (i.e. meditation). The greater focus, greater synchronization (and deeper meditative state). The mystic, then, sitting to meditate, balances brain through some form of focusing, whether by repeating a prayer or mantra, keeping attention on flow of breath, staring at a candle flame, or by using one of many other techniques. Whatever technique, effect on brain is substantially same—brain synchronization, and after much practice, transcendental experience. So just what is this transcendental awareness? Is it becoming some kind of a blob of undifferentiated guru that wants to sit and stare at its navel instead of going to work in morning, or some kind of robed, smiling person handing out flowers in airport? Contrary to common Western mythology about such things, persons operating continually in this type of awareness (a kind of 24-hour-a-day state of meditative alertness sometimes referred to as "the awakened mind") are more productive, happier, and capable of more intimacy, more creativity, and more wholeness. Since filter through which they view reality does not split everything in to categories based on arbitrary early life programming, they see life more objectively, without fear and judgment, without a need to manipulate others, without need for approval—in short, without limitations of mental programming. This is, in fact, a state of peak performance. And, when brain is in this highly synchronous and coherent state, it produces large quantities of pleasure-causing petrochemicals called endorphins, making whole experience very pleasurable!

In order to accelerate personal growth process, can you take advantage from results of modern brain research and use combined method between meditation and brain wave stimulation with scientifically developed meditation music, what stimulates your brain in a more effective and faster way than traditional meditation. By doing that you'll exclude any upcoming difficulties regarding focusing your mind and concentration. Music is harmony; start practicing your meditation with harmoniouslymeditation music! http://www.meditationsession.com

If you are serious about learning how to see into your own future, ask your guides to show you way. That's what they're here for. You have to find your own form of meditation and prayer that works for you. I recently heard a great definition of difference between meditation and prayer. Prayer is when you talk to spirit world about what you need, want, and feel. Meditation is when you listen to spirit world's response. Each of us prays and meditates in our own way. Find your method and then ask your guardian angels, fairies, spirit guides, Jesus, whoever to help you to be able to do psychic readings, or to be able to do healings, or works of art, or whatever else it is that you're wanting to do. If your request is in your own best interest, doesn't harm others, and is from a place of love and not ego gratification, then they will help you.

It doesn't work if you're just wanting to do it like some sort of a party trick. I personally have never been able to do it when showing off or bragging. They just don't show up for that kind of stuff. If anything, I think they shut off power or something. I could always do a little bit even without them, but if I'm being egotistical, they stop me from being able to do any of it at all. So, you'll want to double check that your motives are worthy of an angel's help.
