Tips on how to get the most from MindStore Online Programs

The Process

To get the most benefit from your MindStore Online program it is important that you:

1. trust the process
2. complete each activity and guided meditation session in turn

We understand that there are times when impatience and even excitement about what is coming next may tempt you to want to jump forward; however we strongly recommend that you calm your enthusiasm and complete every part in turn.

Please read the overview for each Module/Day before listening, as there will be important tips or necessary preparation.

Please note that each Module/Day must be listened to in sequence.You will find that you will only be able to open a particular Module/Day if you have already listened to the previous one. Once a Module/Day has been completed then you can return to it whenever you wish.

Remember at all time trust the process!

Foundation Overview

Foundation is the name we give to the level of awareness that we reach with our relaxation method in all our programs. Foundation provides all the usual health benefits of Meditation, Mindfulness and Calm. However it also brings the opportunity to take advantage of enhanced thinking faculties, enabling access to your imagination and intuition.

You will enjoy learning how we use our method to reach a deeply relaxed mindfulness state; it is easy to become quickly proficient and you always gain health benefits when you practise by yourself.

Reaching ‘Foundation’ is a wonderful relaxing tool and achievement in itself. However, when it is combined with the practical tools and techniques that we are able to access through MindStore that it becomes very special. Use it as a daily resource for positively embracing constant change and manifesting what you truly desire.

How to sit while in foundation

The following guidance may help you to adopt a posture and seating position best suited to our method of meditation and study:

We strongly recommend that you adopt the best possible sitting position when you are practising or listening to your programs; however, feel free to do what works best for you. Unless it is absolutely necessary we would not recommend lying down, especially for beginners.

• Unless it is absolutely necessary we would not recommend lying down, especially for beginners.
• Sit in a chair and come to the edge of the seat, placing your feet firmly on the ground about shoulder width apart. If you need back support choose a firm backed chair. Position your knees over your ankles, shoulders directly over your hips, ears over your shoulders and rest your hands on your lap palms up.
• What is most important is that you are comfortable and relaxed and do what feels right for you. Many MindStore members access foundation while sitting up, supported with pillows in bed.

The Kubera Mudra & The tip of the tongue technique

We use two techniques often found in eastern meditation systems to deepen the quality of the Mindstore experience:

First we gently turn up the tip of the tongue and touch the roof of the mouth directly behind the front two teeth.

Secondly the Kubera Mudra works really well with all of our programmes; simply bring the tips of your thumb and first two fingers to gently touch on both hands, so that you are now sitting in a Buddha like pose.

These are traditional techniques which we have found will help you to improve the quality of your relaxation and meditation.

The Journal

We strongly recommend you take the time to answer each of your journal questions immediately after each session. We also recommend that you revisit your previous session’s journal entries before starting on a new one. It is often helpful to add further comments or to take notes on any significant developments or breakthroughs before beginning the next session.

It is more than likely that you will return regularly to your programs and/or individual modules. We find that it can be insightful to observe how your journal entries have developed over time.

The Journal questions play a crucial role within each program, and are designed to make you observe and think about what you are experiencing.
