4 Scientifically Proven Techniques to Amplify Your Meditation Practice

4 Scientifically Proven Techniques to Amplify Your Meditation Practice

Are You Getting What You Want Out Of Your Meditation Practice?

I once told a Zen Philosophy PHD student about my meditation practice. He told me it was cheating. 

According to him “real” meditation means you need to sit for 12 hours each day, for 50 years, in the Himalayas, in complete silence, with your legs crossed, while saying “ohm”, give away all of your worldly possessions, eat nothing but rice and boiled vegetables and drink 35 cups of green tea each day… in order to achieve enlightenment. Or something like that.

In any case, everyone has heard about the importance of mediation and yet very few people are actually making progress in their meditation practice. They learn how to do it and then never improve. It's like the guy who’s been typing with two index fingers for 30 years and never learned how to use both hands on a keyboard. 

If you want to get more out of your meditation practice, this article is for you.

  • How to meditate like a monk in the Himalayas without leaving your house.
  • One very effective (and expensive) way to teach your brain to monitor itself. 
  • A method you can use each morning to stop your brain from procrastinating. 

Key Principles To Understanding How Technology Will Change Our Future

Key Principles To Understanding How Technology Will Change Our Future

In 1964 Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel, wrote an internal paper where he made a shockingly BOLD prediction.

Moore looked at the progress of the semiconductor industry over the previous 5 years. He noticed that the number of electrical connections on an integrated circuit (computer chip) had doubled every 12 months to 24 months.

Also known as exponential growth.

Moore predicted that the computing power of integrated circuits would continue to double every 18 months for the next 10 years. Meaning computers would get much faster, smarter and smaller every 18 months. [1]

People thought he was crazy, but 50 years later his prediction has become a self fulfilling prophecy which has emerged as a driving principle for exponential change in western society. His initial prediction is now known as Moore’s Law.
