Why Meditate Like a Zen Monk?

Meditation is Beneficial, but NOT a Rapid Transformation Tool

As the Omega Mind Program reaches many more people, we frequently get questions about “deep meditation.”  Does this program help me meditate deeply?  Other programs or software claim I’ll get to instant Zen states or have Monk-like meditation.  Will I quickly find true bliss in life?

This is a rather rich and complicated question.  Since many people have asked, I thought I’d post my thoughts.

Generally, yes, the Omega Mind Program helps you meditate very deeply and provides the guardrails and on-ramp to get there quickly and effectively.  However, our goal with this program isn’t deep meditation.  We are trying to transform lives and get brains to rewire themselves.  Meditation-like states, for us, are ONE of the tools to help get there.

The Monk’s Life

A Zen Monk may ultimately achieve, or rather, drift into, a state of bliss.  They master mind states with mentoring, practice and tuned, gentle, mastery of their will, attention, and intention.  These monks often have a lifestyle of simplicity, quietude, meditation, and service.  They let go of most attachments to the world, to people, to things, and cease grasping at the concepts that swirl through the world around them.  From this baseline, they follow a spiritually informed path that often leads to deep contentment and what we might call bliss.  As this is their life’s goal, they often do find what can be called bliss.

Introduction to The Secret Brain Transformation Program

The Secret Brain Transformation Program employs intensely powerful techniques, leveraging recent theory in brain and neuroscience to dramatically extend time-tested and proven self-improvement and transformation methods.

What do I get?  What should I expect?

This program guides you to make self-directed, thoughtful adjustments to yourself.  We guide you through the process and give you extraordinarily powerful tools.  You choose who you want to be.  We will teach you how to open the doors, get your brain to literally rewire its pathways.  We’ll give you ideas and suggestions, but this program doesn’t say who you should be — that is up to you.

The messages and instructions in this program are oriented toward process and change.  This includes the ability release, creating acceptance, and getting beyond established patterns.  You play the central role, choosing which parts of yourself to change, how to change them, and what you want to become.  These programs are not packed with messages, just enough to draw your focus into the area desired.  Your brain and your choices do most of the work.

With this program, we are 100% confident you will learn to change any aspect of yourself you desire and commit to.  As you fully realize the program’s power, changing yourself becomes at least 10 times easier.  This is no exaggeration.  Intense willpower is replaced with precise focus – your brain helps you rather than fights for you to stay the same.

Review of Psychological Effects of Brainwave Entrainment

The excellent study referenced below is a “comprehensive” review of psychological effects of brainwave entrainment.  Although the definition of comprehensive can be debated, the study is an excellent review of entrainment studies.  By reviewing a broad base of research, this study provides a good map of existing work, helping to identify areas for further research and cull practices that can be used for practical mind entrainment programs today.

Although I had run across some of the key underlying studies independently, this paper definitely is a go-to piece of research …

Evidence of Neuroplastic Changes Following Brainwave Training

In the study referenced below, brief brainwave training, using a neurofeedback approach, was shown to have a lingering positive effect on neuroplasticity.

The pace of brain/mind research progress is amazing.  Although the programs presented here don’t directly utilize this technique, a growing body of research suggests specific benefits from various brainwave modification and neurofeedback techniques.  This accelerating research continues to extend the bounds for personal development tools and programs.

The programs presented on this site attempt to alter your brainwaves through relaxation, breathwork, brainwave entrainment, and simple meditation practices.  …
