1 " Beware of false knowledge, it is more dangerous than ignorance” ~ Bernard Shaw "
― Loren W. Christensen , Meditation for Warriors
2 " My meditation objective is to be calmer and to assist with my practice in aikido and krav maga. I generally sit between 10 and 20 minutes every day in the morning. What I have found is that if a meditation method works for you, then use it. I have seen some other styles of practice that I have initially thought nonsense, such as focusing on dolphin sounds, Indian shaman chanting, and so on. But if at the end of the day it works for you…then it works. "
3 " If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought again – anon "
4 " Positive thinking Consider these six bullets: * Affirmations are positive words and statements that set into motion a desired result. * When repeated often, they become imprinted on your subconscious mind over the negative imprints you’ve established there. * The positive affirmations guide your actions to the desired result you want. * To ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, you must repeat them with your full attention, and with faith and desire for the positive outcome. * Meditation is the best way to do the imprinting. * By calming your mind, you’re able to reach your subconscious and begin changing all the negativity that has been ingrained there. "
5 " Meditation will help you to remain calm and focused in violent and chaotic situations. With regular sessions, cops and soldiers are less likely to fire out of fear, frustration, or hypervigilance. Also, warriors engaged in hand-to-hand combat are less likely to use force beyond what is necessary to end a situation. By practicing simple meditation techniques, you’re less likely to overreact, freak out, or freeze, and far more likely to remain in the present moment to assess and then do what needs to be done appropriately.
