I have created a number of albums, which are designed to meditate to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you sit, if you make your mind quiet, if you're still and you listen to the music, the music will do two things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe energy in the music is very high. I've gone into very high planes of consciousness, into \u003ci\u003esamadhi\u003c\/i\u003e, to bring a certain power into the music as a whole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd when you put on the [music], the energy is so high in it that it will simply block out the thoughts and impressions of the people in this world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have infused each of the albums with the light of enlightenment and with a tremendous amount of kundalini.

He discusses fundamental and profound Buddhist and yogic concepts in a down-to-earth manner that's easy for people today in both the East and West to relate to. We learn about mindfulness, power, balance, wisdom, personal happiness, reincarnation, and the miraculous-directly from a modern day enlightened master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis series of talks explains the core principles of practice with Rama's unique blend of clarity and humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince Rama was focused on updating Buddhist and yogic teachings for our age, he also describes how career can be used as part of the practice, especially technology and computer science careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the release of the original \u003ci\u003eEnlightenment Cycle\u003c\/i\u003e talk series in 1992, Rama added two follow-on recordings: \u003ci\u003eIntermediate Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Enlightenment Cycle\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntermediate Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e provides additional instructions to the student who's been meditating daily for a few months or longer. Rama explains how additional focus techniques can be added to strengthen the meditative experience once the student has developed a basic practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final talk, simply called \u003ci\u003eThe Enlightenment Cycle\u003c\/i\u003e, provides a broad review and discussion of the pathway to enlightenment and why it's worth pursuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter in this book is a transcription of a recorded audio talk. The talks reflect the spontaneous tone that typified Rama's live seminars, which combined sophisticated descriptions of deep spiritual truths with warmth and humor, recalling stories of the Buddha and other enlightened teachers conversing with their students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRama's words will guide you on an entertaining and profound tour of meditation, magic, and enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Lenz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947811177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947811171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Living Flow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Frederick Lenz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437171847423,"sku":"9781947811171","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05cb4766-0103-4654-91bf-2c92d020dc7b.jpg?v=1777160354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-enlightenment-cycle-frederick-lenz-9781947811171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
