"How Can These Meditation Techniques
Help You Overcome This Crisis?"

Consider these statistics gathered in a U.S. survey in October, 2008. 801 respondents participated, and these were the main findings:

• 81% said the economic crisis poses a greater threat than terrorism and felt that they couldn't adjust to current events.
• 41% were very angry and 32% moderately angry. Similar responses were recorded in relation to fear and sadness.

And in the history of Reuter's surveys (since 1952), they've never recorded such a steep decline in consumer confidence as they did in October, 2008.

Now let's exercise mindfulness and detach from the concepts of global crisis and meltdown...

Let's have a look at the BIG picture:

Depression has increased by over 1,000% since 1960 in all developed countries, and all developing countries are now following suit.

Fear, anger, suicides on the rise...

We're now seeing the results of half a century's worth of stressful economic development, cultural change, and greed-driven individualism.

We are finally reaching a global threshold, and the inevitable change is happening.

Reality is pulling us back, and it's a stunning opportunity...

Individualism and independence are matters of perception. They're not real. You depend on other people to manufacture your clothes, build your car, home, computer, grow and harvest your food etc. We are all interconnected like never before in human history.

You and I are connected right now. There's tremendous strength in our worldwide connections.

Brain cells that fire together wire together. The global community is now wired together. We fall or we rise together.

Independence is merely a perception, as well is a crisis.

Let's change our perspective and scale down the picture now...

How can you benefit from these meditation techniques in the midst of panic and disastrous perceptions? Brain scan studies on meditators engaged in mindfulness and compassion meditation techniques show unprecedented activity in brain regions linked to happiness.

These meditation techniques promote health and happiness, and during meditation brain cells wire together and fire together.

Happiness/Compassion.

Mindfulness and compassion are, together, the key to your happiness and success.

Meditation means awareness. Meditation/awareness is about attitude more than technique.

Through the attitude that these meditation techniques train and promote, you're better equipped to fend for your family and be a part of the opportunity and the long-term solution.

You really don't have much of a choice...

You may find it hard to believe right now, but we have reached a threshold in our industrial and financial developments because we are approaching a threshold in our evolution.

All of our inventions -- everything human made -- is ultimately caused by human brain activity.

This crisis is an opportunity for the global community to bond, build bridges, wire together, and grow into the 21st century. We're already connected. This is our chance to restructure, change, and meet the demands and the real threat/opportunity that we're facing:

Global warming.

Beneath it all, happiness is our highest aim. Why? How did natural selection accidentally sow this emotional seed in us? Or was Forrest Gump perhaps right when he said:

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I ... I think maybe it's both."
