If you're meditating, you're probably not meditating. What you're doing and what you're calling meditation is probably not meditation at all. And the results that you think you're getting, you're not getting. There's a big lie. There's a big myth about meditation. And I'm here to tell you about it. In virtually seconds, you can reduce stress. You can reduce your blood pressure.

You can completely reduce anxiety. you can have better posture, you can almost magically improve relationships and reduce almost all conflict with other people, you can focus better, you can concentrate better, your body will release endorphins and you will feel almost euphoric and happier, you will sleep deeper and more soundly and more peacefully than ever before, you will wake up with more physical energy. You'll have more physical energy throughout the day if you do a simple thing. Uh-oh, here's the magic. Here's the dirty word.

Meditate. But what you think is meditation is not meditation. Right before the show, I asked John, he says, everybody knows what meditation is today. I said, really, tell me what meditation is. He goes, well, you know, it's quieting the mind, kind of opening yourself up to the universe, maybe thinking about a mantra, opening yourself out and quieting the mind. No, that's not meditation. And most people actually don't think that's meditation.

Most people, when you ask, what's meditation? They say, well, you close your eyes and somebody has some beautiful music playing, and they give you this guided visualization tour. or, oh, lie down next to a beautiful bubbling brook on some beautiful grass and see the clouds that are fluffy and white and notice the beautiful sun and feel the sun against your body and feel the gentle breeze and listen to the beautiful brook. That's not meditation. That is a guided visualization.

It's not meditating. All the benefits that I just rattled off at the beginning, those are the scientifically documented benefits of real meditation that people get. It's not me saying it. Transcendental meditation is one particular form of meditation. They have spent tens of millions of dollars probably over the decades researching the effects of real meditation and everything I listed from lower blood pressure. Reduce stress, reduced anxiety, better posture, deeper sleep, happier, the endorphins get released, serotonal levels go up, you become happier, depression goes away, sadness goes away,

conflict with other humans magically improve and the conflict goes away, the relationships, and the love and the passion for other people, and kindness goes up. And here's the interesting thing. When meditators would be put into a room 10, 20, 30, and they would go into a city like Washington, D.C., and this has all been documented, the number of crimes committed, violent crimes, the number of accidents is tracked every day, and it's virtually consistent, minor up and downs with the number of crimes, the number of assaults, the number of accidents. There's virtually statistically no difference day on day on day.

The meditators went in, and because meditation affects the universal field, the Akash, the the ether, which affects everyone else, the group of meditators went in and meditated twice a day for 20 minutes. And at the end of a month, the research showed that there was a reduction in car crashes, and there was a reduction in crime, and there was a reduction in physical assaults by 30, 40 percent. It was like incredible just by meditating, and the people didn't meditate. They just happened to be close to a group of people. people that were meditating because it has that powerful effect on also society as well.

So proper meditation, doing it properly, which is simple and easy, and I'm going to explain it today, can give you tremendous benefits. Increase concentration, increase focus. I listed many of them. Something else happens. Your brain has five frequencies, gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Most people are in stress and they're broadcasting on beta. And that beta wave is called the slave wave or the poverty wave.

Wealthy people broadcast in between alpha and theta. That's called the wealth wave or the billionaire brain wave. When you meditate, and there's other things you can do as well, but meditation is one of them. When you meditate, it's not the only thing that does this. But when you meditate, it synchronizes the left and right brain hemisphere, calms your brain down. And this has been proven with neuroscience, by the way, with brainwave monitors and x-rays and x-rays and all these different devices where you can see all the different things that happened to the brain.

When you meditate, in the process of meditating, the brain gets into that alpha-theta place, that magical place where you can put out an intention and start manifesting your goals, dreams, and desires. But it also releases endorphins and actually can heal the physical brain of brain trauma and brain injury. It is magical, the effects, the positive effects of meditation. Throughout history in America and in the West, nobody technically meditated because it's an Eastern thing, mostly from India, but also some of the Orient. And the wealthy people like J.P. Morgan,

Einstein, Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, all the Titans of Industry back at the turn of the century, they never heard the word meditation. And nobody ever meditated. None of those guys. But they didn't do something similar. And I'm going to tell you what that is. I'm going to tell you what that is at the end of the show, what they did, which effectively did the same results, created the same results as meditation, because they were effectively meditating, not even knowing they were meditating. I'm going to tell you what that is right at the end of the show. Today, most people don't meditate, and if you look at successful people, let's say take the Forbes 500, the 500 richest people in the world, I bet you a handful of them meditate.

If any of them, I've been around hundreds of people worth $300 million or more, hundreds of them. And in some cases, you know, 20, 30 of us, 40 of us would spend a week together. And I asked every one of them, do you meditate, do you meditate, do you meditate? No one does. but many of them do the things that Henry Ford did, J.P. Morgan did, the Titans of Industry, and even in the East, Honda, the man who founded Honda Motorcars, Toyota, the man who founded Toyota. In Germany, the man who founded Porsche, the man who founded Mercedes, they didn't meditate, but they did something that effectively was meditation and got the same results.

And again, stay with me. I'm going to tell you what that is at the end. That's something you can do and get the results. Today, there are a lot of celebrities. Famous ones like Jerry Seinfeld talks about how he meditated every day in the nine years that he did Seinfeld. I don't know if he still meditates, but he definitely did it during that time. Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful people in American history, coming from absolute nothing. you could say that she had a lot going against her, being a woman and being black, and coming from

nothing. So she was kind of behind the eight ball. Well, that didn't let, that didn't stop her. She became outrageously successful, and she claims meditation was a key element to her success. So the question is, what exactly is meditation? First, what is not meditation? Trying to calm the mind, trying to control the mind, that's not meditation. Trying to stop yourself from thinking, that's not meditation. Going on a guided visualization tour, although not nice and calming and relaxing.

I'm not saying that you don't get any value from that. It's not meditation, and you're not going to get the benefits of real meditation by doing that. Meditation is something very simple. It's too simple, and that's why people want to complicate it. So I'm going to tell you today exactly how to meditate and exactly what meditation is, And if you don't want to do that, what Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, J.P. Morgan, Albert Einstein, and actually most of the wealthy people that I know, what they do, that effectively is meditation, and they don't even know they're meditating.

And it's giving them the same result. So first off, when should you meditate? The answer is, anytime, anytime. Is there an ideal? Yes. Ideally, in the morning, before breakfast, right after you get out of bed, after you go to the bathroom, after you drink a glass of water, after you maybe put some water on your face, maybe if you spend 10 or 15 minutes doing a little stretching or doing a little aerobic exercise,

then is an ideal time to meditate and then afterwards have breakfast. The second best time to meditate is in the late afternoon before dinner. And ideally before you meditate, maybe five or ten minutes of a little stretching and then meditate. However, that's just the ideal. You can meditate anytime. Next, how often should you? you meditate. The answer is as often as you can with an ideal of twice a day in the morning,

as I mentioned, and in the afternoon. But you can meditate once a week, once a month, once every three days. You can meditate when you feel like it. Maybe it's twice, two days in a row, and then not for three weeks. Any meditation is good. And every, time you meditate, there's a cumulative effect on the benefits. You don't have to do it twice a day, every single day to get benefits. Yeah, you'll get great benefits doing that. But if you meditate this morning and don't meditate for four days and meditate in the afternoon and then do it the next morning and don't meditate for two days, you're still getting tremendous benefit. Any meditation, anytime, as often as you can, regardless of how often, is better than no meditation.

So don't feel like, oh, well, I didn't meditate for three days, so there's no reason for me to do it. It's not that you, when you get the benefits of meditation and then you stop meditating, you don't lose the benefits. They stay there. You go up faster, the more consistently you meditate, but you don't digress. these are permanent gains that you're getting. The gains will happen faster, the more consistently you do it. So when to meditate anytime, ideally in the morning and the afternoon, in the morning before breakfast, in the afternoon before dinner.

Because when you meditate in the morning, it will energize you for the whole day and allow you to focus and concentrate really, really well and make you really positive and really happy. when you meditate the afternoon, all the stress that you've accumulated from your day, all the negativity from the crap you're reading about, oh, the stock market went down 10%. Oh, this happened. There's a bombing over there. There's another potential war. People were a terrorist attack here. People were taking hostage there.

Prices of eggs are up. Whatever. The stresses of the day when you meditate in the afternoon melt away. And then your energy level goes up. You become very calm but very energized. And your evening with your loved ones becomes much happier, much more fulfilling. You actually, instead of telling your spouse, I'm tired, I'm tired. Now you want to grab them and kiss them and say, let's go in the bedroom.

Your energy, your passion, playing with your kids, going out, let's go out to a movie, let's go play cards. You all of a sudden start having a zest for life again. Makes a big difference. So that's the ideal. Okay. How long should you meditate? The sweet spot is 20 minutes, but you can meditate for as short as five minutes. And you could meditate for 30 minutes to an hour. But the ideal is 20 minutes. That's really the sweet spot. You can meditate longer, but there's a point of what's called diminishing returns. So you get really maximum benefit for the amount of time you put in at 20 minutes. If you go 45 minutes, you don't get twice as much benefit. You may get 10% more benefit, even though you're spending twice as much time meditating. Makes sense?

If you go for an hour, you're spending three times more meditation time than the 20 minutes. You're not getting three times the benefit. You may only be getting 30 or 40% more benefit. So it becomes, you know, a point of diminishing returns on your investment of time. So a minimum of five minutes, ideal 20 minutes. But if you feel compelled to go longer, you certainly can because for some people, they're going to find this to be a very pleasant experience. And some people get very addicted to it and it's very, very pleasant state to be in. It's a wonderful place to be when you can be with yourself without any stimulation.

It blows my mind today, and it doesn't make me sad. It makes me feel compassion for people. I go into a waiting room, and every single waiting room has a freaking TV. Everyone has to be stimulated by something. They can't sit, and they can't sit and talk to the person next to them. I'm in the waiting room. I sit down. and either somebody's watching the TV or they're on their phone.

And I'm looking around and I'm thinking, am I the only person that can just sit here and observe and be very pleasant and very happy and very calm without needing of outside stimuli? I guess I'm in control and they're not. They're all slaves. They're all slaves. You're a slave. You need to be stimulated.

You can't sit there. I can sit there and I can just look right at you and just be in a pleasant state of being this. That gives power, gives you power and control over your environment. You become at cause over your environment. Think about it. So minimum five minutes, maximum of about 20. Next, where do you meditate?

The answer, anywhere. it doesn't have to be a quiet place. Jerry Seinfeld used to say, I meditated sometimes in the back of a taxi cab in New York City. This is before Uber's when he was doing Seinfeld. He'd be in the back of a taxi cab. There's horns beeping all over the place, and he'd be meditating.

You don't have to be in a quiet place in order to get the effects of meditation. As a matter of fact, since meditation goes back, thousands of years, there really wasn't any quiet place because people heard the noises of nature. They heard animals. They heard running water. They heard the sounds of picks and axes and horses and carts going. There was noise everywhere.

There really wasn't a very quiet place. And people couldn't walk a mile to meditate. That was just too time-consuming. So people meditated anywhere, no matter what the noises were around them. So you can meditate anywhere. Is there an ideal place? Okay. Ideally, it is a room where no one's going to interrupt you and say, hello, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,

even though you're sitting there meditating. So ideally a quiet place, maybe it's a room that you shut the door and it's a private place where you're not going to be interrupted. But it could be any place. But if you would pick an ideal place, it would be, let's say, a room in your house that you can shut the door and you know that no one's going to open the door

and interrupt you while you're meditating. Could be in your bedroom and just put a sign, do not disturb, or people don't know in the house, hey, if the door is shut, don't knock and don't come in. Make sure your cell phone is off so you don't get disturbed. That's the idea.

ideal scene. Next. When you meditate, what position should you be in? And the answer is any position, but don't be lying down. Because when you lie down and close your eyes in the darkness, melatonin starts getting released and you can fall asleep so you're not going to get the full benefits of meditation lying down on your back or even on your stomach. So you don't want to be line down. Ideally, you want to be sitting with your back straight. So you can be sitting in a chair like this. You can be sitting on the floor. You can be sitting on the couch. But ideally, you should be sitting so that your back, your spine is as straight as possible. That's the ideal. For most people, the most comfortable thing is to get a chair. I'm in a nice comfortable chair here.

Can you see the chair? So to get a chair. chair that's a flat back chair and sit and put both feet on the ground. That's ideal. And your and your thighs are perpendicular to the ground. And your hands can be anywhere. They can be like this. They can be like this where your thumbs are touching, one hand in front of the other with your thumbs touching. You can be like this. You can be like this. It can be like that. It can be like this. It doesn't matter.

Or it can just be down. Your hands can be up. When you're down, they can be like this called a mudra. It doesn't matter. You can have legs crossed or not. You could be on the floor with your back against the wall. You could be on the floor sitting on a cushion so that you're angled down a little bit with your back straight. That's very comfortable for most people.

Your legs can be straight out or they can be crossed. For most people in the West, crossing your legs is going to be uncomfortable, so sitting in a chair is probably a good plan. So if it was a recommendation to me, it'd be a chair like this, and I'd be sitting like this, both feet on the ground. But your feet can be crossed because you can be in a cross-legged position. So ideally, you make an appointment with yourself to meditate. You don't say, well, I'll meditate tomorrow when I find some time or when I feel like or when I have some time. Ideally, you want to say, I'm going to meditate tomorrow at this time and this time. You should schedule an appointment with yourself.

In my calendar book, I have written down the time I wake up, the time I'm eating my breakfast, I write down the time I'm exercising, the time I'm meditating, the time I'm going into the hyperbaric chamber, the time I'm getting my haircut, the time I'm getting my facial, the time I'm going to the dentist, the time I have this Zoom meeting, the time I'm working on writing my book, the time I'm reading, doing reading, the time I'm doing this, the time I'm doing that, the time I'm doing this, everything is organized. Look, if you don't organize your day, if you don't manage your priorities and write things down, nothing's going to happen. Things in life have a tendency not to happen. It's up to you to make them happen and plan for them to happen.

If it's not written down, if you don't have an appointment with yourself, then something else is going to come up. You're going to not feel like doing it, and you're not going to do it, whether it's exercise or meditation or whatever. So plan your day. There's an old saying, plan your work and work your plan. It makes sense. So I strongly encourage you to that you write down when you're going to meditate. And I also would strongly recommend that you don't start with saying, I'm going to meditate twice a day for 20 minutes a day.

Build up to that. Because that's kind of a big gradient. You're going from zero meditation to maximum. I would suggest three days a week or two days a week for five minutes. Start there and then build yourself up. Oh, man, five minutes is nothing. I'm going to go to 10 minutes twice a week. Okay, that's easy. Man, I'm going to go to 15 minutes twice a week. Oh, that's easy. I'm going to go three

times a week and start working your way up. That's what I would suggest. That's how you start developing habits. That's how you engage in what's called the success cycle or the motivation cycle where success builds confidence. Confidence creates activity. Activity creates habits. Habits create success and success builds more confidence and you keep a momentum. It's called the momentum cycle. So that's how you do it. You don't eat it. an elephant all at once, you eat an elephant one bite at a time. So start slow. So now that you have your time, pick a place where you're going to meditate. And by the way, I used to meditate when I was working in the office, I would, before I went home, I would actually hop in my car,

pull my car around to a car plot, and I would meditate in the car. That would be my quiet space to meditate before I drove home. And then my drive home was super calm. And then I thought, no, I don't like this because the drive home is very stressful. So I'm going to meditate when I get home. I lived alone, so it was easy enough to do. So you can meditate again anywhere. All right. So now you have the times you're going to meditate, whether it's five minutes, ten minutes, you know, the date, you know the day, you know, the time of that day you're going to meditate. You know how long you've decided we're going to meditate. You know what position you're going to be in when you meditate. So now comes the big reveal. What is real meditation? Real meditation, real meditation,

been around for hundreds of thousands of years. It was first talked about in the Ramayama, which is the story of Ram in India. It's in the Vedas. And it's also in the Mahabharatar. One of the books or sections of the Mahabharatar or Mahabharata, which is the Indian epic from India, is the Bhagavad Gita, the story of Krishna, who's the incarnation of the God Vishnu, who's God of the universe, and Arjuna, and Krishna were sharing with Arjuna the secrets of the universe and meditation, and yoga, which is union meditation as one form of that.

So here's what you do. This is going to be ridiculously simple. And remember, this technique produces all the results that I mentioned in scientific double. blind studies at major universities around the world, peer reviewed, published in medical journals, that meditation reduces stress, reduces blood pressure, reduces anxiety, increases endorphins and serotonin, those are the feel-good hormones, by the way. They make you feel better. It reduces cortisol, which is the hormone that gets released that makes you have belly fat. Everyone's going to be wanted to meditate now. It's like, did he just say that meditators will

lose belly fat? I said it reduces cortisol, which is what causes belly fat. It reduces stress. It will increase your ability to focus. It'll increase your ability to concentrate. It magically changes your brainwave frequencies from the irritating beta, which irritates everybody around you, into the beautiful feel-good alpha-theta. So now when you're around people, they feel good around you, therefore conflict goes away with colleagues, business associates, relatives, neighbors, and loved ones. And it increases love and compassion and relationships. It also increases passion, gives you physically more energy, makes you happier and smile more.

You'll sleep better. The effects, the positive effects go on and on and on. And as I mentioned, when there's groups of meditators, it affects the field so much that it reduces crime in the areas where there's groups of meditators meditating collectively as a group. This is significant and impressive, and it shows the true power of this. So here's what meditation is. Number one, meditation is focusing your attention on something. This is number one.

people think that meditation is to not think thoughts, quiet the mind, to go within, to try to connect with the universal consciousness, to open yourself up to something. That's not meditation. Those are all good things, by the way, but that's not meditation. Meditation starts with putting your attention and focusing on something. So first, we have open-eye meditation or closed-eye meditation. Open-eye meditation, interestingly enough, is the meditation used by very wealthy people, not even knowing that they're meditating. Open-eye meditation is with eyes open in a particular position, you focus on something

and just focus on that one thing. The most common is a candle flame where you light a candle and you sit and you simply look at the candle flame. Interestingly enough, Albert Einstein did this. Thomas Edison did this.

Ooh, they were meditators. They talked about going into a room and locking the door and shutting off all the lights and putting on a candle and just looking at it, and just looking at it, and just looking at it. That's meditation, first and foremost, it's focusing on something. With eyes open, it's focusing on something external.

You could, with that theory, take a pen and just focus on it. You could look at a leaf and just focus on it. you could look at an aunt and just focus on it. This is what wealthy people did. They would go into nature and they would pick up a leaf and just look at it. And it was interesting because when I was young, I would go into the forest by my house, sit by the brook, and I would pick up a leaf, and I would just look at it and look at it and lose myself in it.

And it virtually would dissolve into nothingness. and I would be in this space of, I don't know what. It was meditation. I did it every day. Sometimes with a rock, sometimes with a leaf, sometimes with a candle flame. So the first thing you can do with eyes open meditation is to look at something and just, that's the starting point.

Now let's go to closed eye meditation. With closed eye meditation, the first thing you can focus on is a sound. If you're at home, it could be the sound of your air conditioner or your refrigerator. It could be the sound of a clock. A lot of people don't have clocks to make noise anymore. But I've been in homes and sometimes in older bed and breakfast things where there's an old tick-tock clock. Tick-talk.

Tick-talk. Tick-tick-tok. So you can focus on a sound. If you're outside, you can focus on the sound of the body. You could focus on the sound of the frogs. You could focus on the sound of the running water. So remember, first in meditation is choose something to focus on. With eyes open, I gave you some examples.

With eyes closed, it could be a sound. Ideally, if you're going to focus on something, it shouldn't change. So if it's running water, it's pretty constant. If it's the sound of the birds, they may be birding, chirping now, but they may stop at a minute. the crickets, they may be cricketing now or the cicadas, but then they may stop. And that's okay. It's just not perfectly ideal. If you're looking at something like the candle flame, you don't have to touch it. It's always going to be there. It's constant. If you're looking at an ant, it may leave. And then there's no ant to look at it anymore. So ideally, if you're looking

at something or focusing something, it should be a constant. By the way, looking at something, as I mentioned is good. Listening to a sound is perfectly good as well. But now we're getting to the next level, which is the real two most powerful things to focus on. There's nothing wrong with the first two I mentioned, but the next two are the most common today with, quote, proper or true meditation where the results are the most quantifiable and substantiated and documented. And that is this. The last two things you can focus on with eyes closed is number one, a mantra. It's a fancy name. I don't even know what the actual meaning of mantra is, but basically a mantra in meditation should be a two-syllable, non-sensical sounding word, such as shahrim. That is nonsensical.

It means nothing. It has no meaning. So the analytical mind is not thinking. you think, oh, I know it. I'm going to have the mantra. I am. Or God is love. God is love. The problem with that is your analytical mind now starts thinking and evaluating that word or phrase because it has meaning. So you want to have a mantra something that has no meaning. Two syllables is ideal. You'll see why in a moment. It has no meaning. So if you have a mantra, When you close your eyes, you are silently to yourself repeating the mantra. If the mantra was sharam, the question is, how fast should that go? Silently in your head.

So you're sitting there and it looks like this. But you're actually repeating a mantra. So the mantra may be going like this. Sharam, shahrim, shahrim, shahrim. Sharim, Sharim, sharm. It could go faster. Sharm, sharm, sharm, sharm, sharm, sharm. It could go slower.

Shahrim, shah. It doesn't matter the speed. What's more important is consistency of that speed. And that isn't that critical, but it should be a little bit consistent. You don't want to go really fast and really slow and really fast and really slow, generally consistent with the speed, and you're doing it silent. So if you have a mantra, you are sitting there and you're focusing on repeating that mantra.

Remember, you're not trying to quiet your mind. You're not trying to open up your heart chakra or crown chakra. you're not trying to connect to the universe. You're not trying to connect to oneness. You're not trying to do anything. Meditation is not trying. If you're meditating properly, you're not trying to do anything. You don't try to go to sleep. You just allow yourself to fall asleep. You don't try to go to sleep. You just allow yourself to fall asleep. Meditation is no try. no objective. You're not trying to attain anything. You're just doing the process without any attachment of a particular outcome, without any expectation of a particular outcome. Oh, I hope I see

lights. I hope I have some spiritual feeling go up my body. I hope I feel something. No, you don't want any of that. Nothing whatsoever. Okay. So, you're sitting And you are repeating this mantra in your head. You have a relaxed face, relaxed stomach. You're breathing in and out through your nose only with your mouth closed. You're trying to keep your back straight when you start. Don't worry about doing that as you start meditating. If you start going, that's completely okay.

You just repeat the mantra. No expectation of any outcome. you're not trying to attain anything. You're not trying to go anywhere. You're not trying to feel anything or experience anything. You just say, I'm going to meditate. And by the way, before you start, get your phone and set the timer for five minutes or 15 minutes or 20 minutes, whatever the amount of time is, and set the timer and set the timer to go out with some nice gentle chimes or something to let you know that the time is up. this way you know you know when you're ready to finish.

Shut your phone off, shut the door, sit down, put the phone on, sit and start meditating. So now I'm repeating the mantra. That's all you're doing. Now, you're not trying to achieve anything. You're not trying to do anything. You're not trying to calm your mind. You're not trying to quiet your thoughts. you're just focusing and repeating the mantra.

And you're not trying to focus on the mantra. You're just releasing and relaxing and focusing on the mantra. And at some point, you're going to realize your thinking thoughts. You're going to hear that little voice in your head saying something. There's a voice talking. You're thinking thoughts. What are not going to have for dinner? is this really worth the time and effort?

You start thinking something. When you realize you are thinking something, and this is very important, so pay attention, as you're repeating the mantra, at some point you're going to realize you're going to be aware, you'll be conscious of the fact that you're thinking thoughts. When that moment happens,

do not criticize, do not be judgmental, do not be angry, have no emotion, do not be frustrated. This is meditation. The fact that thoughts will come up is part of meditation. And you being aware of those thoughts is part of meditation. So when you are aware of the thoughts, all you do without any judgment in a complete state of neutrality is you go back to the mantra. And then at a certain point, and it could be a few seconds later or it could be a few minutes later, you never know. But at some point, you're going to realize that you're thinking thoughts.

And you're not even going to know how long you've been thinking those thoughts. But at some point, you're going to realize and be conscious and aware that you're thinking thoughts. And when you do, in a state of neutrality, without any judgment or criticism, you simply go back to the mantra. Because you see what's happening when you're focusing on the mantra, the energies that are trapped, the samscaras, which is energetic imprints, they begin to bubble up on the floor of the ocean. And they begin to turn into bubbles and they start coming up. And when they reach the surface, they're a thought, and the energy dissipates. So every time you're thinking thoughts, it's a blessing because more energy is being transmuted. More energy is coming to surface and transmuting.

And more energy is leaving. And more energy is being released. And you're becoming more free and more free and more free and more free and more liberated. This is the beauty of it. and your ability to connect to the universe goes up. But you're not focusing on that. That's not your expectation. That's not your goal.

That's not your objective. That will just happen. You're in a state of allowing, just like you're in a state of allowing yourself to go to sleep. You don't try to go to sleep. You just allow yourself to go to sleep and you do. And the next thing you know, you wake up hours later. Same thing here.

So that is the act of meditation. You just keep focusing on the mantra. And then when you realize you're thinking thoughts in a state of neutrality, without judgment, without criticism, without being angry or upset or frustrated, you just go back to the mantra. That's the process. And then the triumphs will go. Your time is up. And you open up your eyes and you breathe in and out through your nose and you look around

and you get up and go about your business, knowing that the positive effects that happened And in that five minute, 15 minute, 20 minute session are permanent. You're changing. You're improving. You're becoming more free and being more liberated. You're reducing the amount of uncontrollable and irrational behaviors and emotions you have. You're becoming more a cause of your environment and less that effect. The last way to meditate is exactly the same as what I just described.

The only difference being is when you close your eyes, instead of focusing on, on a mantra, you focus on your breath. And this is the most common form of meditation done anywhere in the world. If you look at this and take all the other methods, this one is 100 times more commonly used than all the other methods combined. You close your eyes, relax your face, relax your stomach, and you focus on your breath. You breathe in through the nose and out through the nose. And you breathe completely normally. There's no special breath.

You breathe normally. There's three places you can put your attention as you focus on your breath. The first is at your nostrils. You're focusing on the breath coming in the nostrils right here. The next is right here where the air comes into the sinus passage.

So it's right here between your eyes, right in the middle, though. It's not on the outside. It's inside. So you're focusing on the breath coming inside the nostrils inside the sinus, not the nostrils in the sinuses. So the first area to focus is here. The next one is in the sinus.

The third is two inches below your belly button. And as you inhale, the stomach goes out a little bit. And as you exhale, it goes in a little bit. So your focus is there. And as you breathe, you're just focusing on the stomach going out a little bit and in little bit as you breathe in and out through the nose only with a completely normal breath. And then when you realize you're thinking a thought, when you have that conscious awareness that you're actually thinking thoughts, don't be frustrated.

How long I've been thinking thoughts? I'm trying to quiet my mind. I'm trying to quiet my thoughts. I'm trying to reduce my thoughts. Instead of doing that, just acknowledge that you're thinking a thought in a state of neutrality and go back to the breath. And that may happen 20 times. Again, good.

Because every time thoughts come up, that means energy. being released. You're becoming more liberated. You're becoming freer. You're not trying to suppress thoughts in meditation. That's what people think that I'm trying to quiet my mind and stop thoughts. No, you're not. You're allowing thoughts to come to surface because thoughts are energy.

Thoughts are things. And thoughts coming up are things. It's energy that is being released and transmuted into the ether, freeing you, making you liberated. So don't be frustrated. That's the process of meditation. And as I mentioned, what wealthy people have done throughout history is they've used a form of meditation with eyes open, sometimes closed.

But the most common one that Henry Ford, and these are all the titans of business, J.D. Rockefeller, Rich a span of the world, Edison, Tesla. Number one, they would go into nature and they would walk. It's a form of moving meditation. And they would look at things far away without speaking. And they would be focused on the sounds and sights. So they'd be focusing on something external as they walk.

That's a form of moving meditation. And it is meditation. Sometimes they would stop and pick up a leaf. or a rock and just stare at it for 20 minutes. They would touch a tree and just look at a tree for 20 minutes or 50 minutes or 10 minutes, and that's a form of meditation. Next, they talked about going into a room and shutting the door and shutting the lights off and lighting a flame.

And they would focus on that. Next, they would go into a room, shut the door, and put the record player on and listen to a particular piece of music and just focus on that music and focus on that music and focus on that music. That is also a form of meditation. Some would swim, although that wasn't as common, but they would go into a lap pool and just swim in this rhythmic manner.

Slow rhythmic movements repeated is a form of meditation. Chopping wood, I used to do this when I was young. In order to meditate, I would grab the axe on the wood pile, and I would just chop wood for 20 minutes because you have to focus all your attention on this otherwise you're going to chop your foot off so it was focused and movement so this is a form that the elites have done in the West

the other thing that the elites did which was a form of meditation not the technical perfect meditation as I mentioned is that they would pray they would open up a Bible again in the West since Christianity was the most prevalent and they would pick out a phrase remember it is God who gives you the power to gain wealth or I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me about all things I want you to prosper and be in health just as your soul prospers they would pick one phrase and they would read it and they would sit and close their eyes, and they'd contemplate on that almost like a mantra. This is what wealthy people did. It was

technically not perfect on the meditation technique, but it was very close and got 80% of the same results. Think about that. Very powerful. Do you have to meditate in order to achieve great success? the answer is no. You don't have to do the formal form of meditation that I mentioned, such as sitting in a place, closing your eyes, setting the timer for 15 to 20 minutes, twice a day, repeating a mantra, or focusing on your breath. You don't have to do that. Most successful people don't do that. But do you have to do some form of quote meditation, such as going into nature or moving meditation or some of the things I just mentioned. The answer to that is yes, because all socials,

super wealthy people, do some form of this because this is critical to getting your brain operating in that sweet spot between alpha and theta so that you can manifest your goals, dreams, and desires and allow yourself to tap into the ether. Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein said that they would do this technique, which allowed them to tap into the universal field of all intelligence. That's what Einstein and I think are in Edison called it. That's the technique that they would use, this form of meditation so they could tap into that

and then access the universal field of intelligence, which allowed them to produce all the things they produce. As a matter of fact, Tesla, Edison, and Einstein. And then all the barons of business from John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford would all do similar things. And it was in these moments when they came out that the universe presented them, the solutions to their problems. It was reported as their subconscious mind was used. they actually tapped into their subconscious mind using a secret technique that was kept secret from the public. That's what it was talked about.
