Studies have shown that teens who meditate are happier, more focused, and less likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors ranging from bullying to bulimia. Not so long ago, many people thought that meditation involved dropping out of society and joining a cult. But most of us don't want to drop out of society -- we just don't want it messing with our heads. Mindfulness is a way of holding on to your sanity when life seems to be going out of its way to make you go crazy -- with people who don't understand you, work, schoolwork, stress, and scheduling challenges that would baffle a super-computer. Mindfulness is a way of getting back control over what goes on in your head, so that your own thoughts and emotions don't drive you insane. Mindfulness can help you discover the real you that's buried below all the junk that life fills your head with. It helps you to be more genuinely yourself. Once you learn to quiet your mind you'll find that there's a calmer, more positive, more creative you just waiting to be let free. Contents: 1. Introduction. 0:31 2. Why Meditate?

This program was released in 1982 and re-mastered in 2009. The World of Relaxation was and still is a novel and radical use of television, aimed at reaching out to patients lying in bed in the hospital and inviting them to experiment inwardly, with Jon's guidance, in bringing mindful awareness to their present-moment circumstances, utilizing the occasion of having to lie in bed for some time - whatever the viewer's medical condition and prognosis - to do something for him or herself to promote healing of the mind and body, as a vital complement to whatever the health care system and one's doctors are doing by way of medical treatments and rehabilitation. Over one hundred hospitals have used this program over the years on their in-house television channels, and doctors often prescribe it to their patients, recommending that they practice with it several times a day. The practices in The World of Relaxation are guided meditations similar to the formal practices in MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction), particularly mindfulness of breathing, body sensations, thoughts and emotions, and the body scan. The original harp music by Georgia Kelly was composed specifically for this program and is played by the composer. Harp music has been associated with healing since pre-biblical times. The music enhances the process of relaxation and establishes a flowing rhythmicity that entrains the listener's attention and carries it through the various stages of the program. Mindfulness, one's capacity to inhabit the present moment with non-judgmental awareness, deepens over the course of a single session and even more, through repeated practicing with this program over days, weeks, months and years. The learning occasioned by practicing with this program on a regular basis can stand one in good stead from moment to moment and from day to day as one's life continues to unfold.
