Foiled Terrorist Attacks and a Technique to Help Relieve Our Anxiety

I wrote the other day about change and how change is slow and difficult but very possible. I also talked about the changes in Northern Ireland.

Well it seems that the world has changed too and it is far from a positive change. Yesterday's events with the foiled attempt at blowing up ten transatlantic air liners, reminded us of the fearful situations that our world can throw at us.

Beliefnet.com has given its readers a guided meditation to help calm the mind and deal with this fear. It seems very similar to another guided meditation I am familiar with called Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in a waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the waking state and you are somewhere between being asleep and being awake. Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing and I will write more about it later.

In the mean time try the meditation here and let me know hot it goes!

Good Luck,
Allen
