Learn to be silent.

 Let your quiet mind listen and absorb.

 

Pythagoras
(580 B.C.- 500 B.C.)  

The mind is like a pond.  On the surface you see all the disturbances.  Yet the surface is only a tiny part of the pond.  It is in the depth of the pond, where there is stillness, that you will come to know the true essence of the pond, as well as your own mind.

Meditation affects both body and mind. Meditation is a self-directed practice for relaxing the body and calming the mind. It has been estimated that the average person has 60,000 separate thoughts each and every day.  The objective of meditation is to still the mind's "busyness" -- its inclination to mull over the countless demands and details of daily life. By relieving stress, meditation lowers the level of harmful stress hormones that inhibit immune function and interfere with our natural healing processes. And by increasing body-mind relaxation, meditation eases the pain created by panic and fear.

Morning StarLight enables you to enter a meditative state quickly.  The ganzfeld effect works for most first-time meditators in a matter of a few minutes.  Traditional meditation techniques may take many months of practice.  Experienced meditators describe Morning StarLight as instant meditation.

Morning StarLight creates a deliberately induced altered state of consciousness, an effect called the ganzfeld phenomenon. The ganzfeld (German for "all field") is an unobstructed, featureless field of light. In the 30's researchers first observed that people gazing into a ganzfeld enter a profoundly altered state. Their attention initially turned inward, then it moved into a deeply relaxed, meditative state. The ganzfeld phenomenon is thoroughly researched and widely considered by scientists to be one of the most reliable techniques for entering into an altered mental state.

Traditionally, the meditator makes a concentrated effort to focus on a single thought, such as peace, or a physical experience, such as breathing, or a sound, such as a mantra.  Morning StarLight personal/private light screen enhances this meditation experience, whatever approach is used. The light screen provides cool, safe, soft, white light with optimum brightness.

This mental condition is also the perfect entry point for self-hypnosis or cognitive therapy. Your mind is better able to concentrate on positive thoughts and to minimize or eliminate negative thoughts.
