Meditation helps with recovery from illness, pain relief, stress reduction, improving concentration and establishing emotional balance and harmony.

This recording guides the listener into age-old techniques for developing mastery over the mind. Beautiful music by harpist Marshall McGuire surrounds each meditation sequence.

When we dive deep under the waves in the ocean we discover a haven of peace and quiet. In the same way, under our waves of thoughts, feelings and activities there lies an eternal stillness.

Dr Farmer guides the listener into that deeper part of ourselves, following a few simple techniques for letting go of what lies on the surface of the mind.

He demonstrates that, no matter how disturbing the storms which rage into our lives, when we learn to dive deep we can find inner peace.

"The word 'meditation' means 'non-thinking' or 'no-mind'. The old Chinese called it, 'sitting in forgetfulness'...".

" It is often said that meditation is like holding a bird: first the fingers enclose the bird so it can't escape. After a while the fingers are relaxed, just enough so the bird can feel free, yet remain, quite safe and secure.
In the same way, in simple meditation, we first learn to capture our thinking, holding on to one thought only. Having developed this skill, we can relax the mind into contemplation.."

"...Observe the breath going in and going out... Put your attention at the nostrils, observing the breath...As thoughts come, let them go like leaves in the wind, and return your attention to the nostrils.."

Stories of those helped by this recording:

A middle-aged woman with a history of entering into relationships with unreliable men found that, by learning to still her mind through using these meditations, she was able to be more detached and wise in her decision-making.

A 'rough-diamond' of a man with his own business periodically fired everybody in frustration. As he became proficient in the 'Who am I' meditation, his reaction to the mistakes and inadequacies of his staff became more balanced and wise.
