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.

We’ve all heard references to the popular book, “The Secret.”  We’ve all heard numerous references to hidden and untapped power of the brain, your unconscious, your spiritual oneness, paths to enlightenment.  These are often riddled with promise of easy paths to abundance, peace, and happiness.

I have always been intrigued and driven to understand why some aspects of our human personality are fluid and flexible, while others are almost immutable, even when we desire ourselves to be different.  I’ve synthesized information from neurology to cognitive science, neural networks to coherence theories,  psychology and self help practices, and even the religious spectrum, including Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, atheism, and others.

If you read these pages, try the approaches, and see for yourself,  I believe you will an exceptional, holistic paradigm and novel approach.  Nothing I’ve found comes close in the long term.  I’ve decided to package my years of research, learning, and coaching, and personal development support on the web.
