About this ebook
‘Brain meditation’ is a modern form of meditation. It is a very pure and concentrated meditation technique. It is meant to be done on-the-fly, in background-mode. As such, you do not need to dedicate any specific time for meditation. ‘Brain meditation’ can be done while you brush your teeth, take a shower, wait in line for a cup of coffee, sit in traffic or at traffic lights. It is, therefore, ideally suited for today’s fast-paced mobile age. Lack of time will never be an impediment. ‘Brain meditation’, per its name, is extremely brain-centric. The brain is the focus of all forms of meditation. ‘Brain meditation’ recognizes this and goes right to the source – i.e., your brain. There are no frills, there are no intermediaries. This is a meditation technique that is all about you and your brain. You don’t need to sit cross-legged. You don’t need to spend 20-minutes in a darkened room. You don’t need to burn any incense. You don’t have to wear any fancy yoga-pants. You can do – and should do – ‘brain meditation’ in the shower (or when taking a bath) in the buff. ‘Brain meditation’ is all about focusing, centering and grounding your brain/mind vis mindful thinking. Where it differs, majorly, from other forms of meditation is that you don’t do this ‘calm the mind’ just once a day or four times a week. You do it, for a few seconds at a time, multiple times a day. That, if you think about it, is not a bad idea. What is the point of having 20-minutes of calmness at the end of a hectic day? Wouldn’t it have been better if you could have snatched some respites of calmness throughout your hectic day – to help you out. Well, that is what ‘brain meditation’ is all about. Meditation on-the-fly, throughout the day, in background mode – while you get on with your life. This book is meant to be a self-help guide. Furthermore, it is meant to be a ‘Quick Guide’. It is thus written to be ‘to the point’. A more detailed description of ‘brain meditation’ is available, from the same author, in a companion book “Brain Meditation – For True Productivity & Serenity”. ‘Brain meditation’ will change your life – for the better! It is extremely easy to practice and master. There is no physical effort involved, whatsoever. It is all done in your mind. Just you and your brain.

THINK MEDITATION.
The paper ‘Think’ sign I received upon joining IBM (the then tech titan)
in August 1974.
Four decades later it is still on my desk, under my main PC monitor.
It is a constant inspiration.
Thinking is the way we interact with our brain.
It is our primary, if not only, means of interacting
with our brain.
As such, thinking plays a major role in
‘Brain meditation’.
‘Brain meditation’ is achieved entirely by means of
various types of thinking.
That, if you think about it, makes a lot of sense.
Anything to do with the brain involves thinking.
All forms of meditation, in one way or another,
call for ‘focus’.
Again, if you think about it, you will appreciate that
‘focus’ is but another word for ‘thinking’!
THINK
It can and it will change your life
—for the better.
Meditation is all in the mind.
Hence, your brain is central
to any form of meditation.
‘Brain meditation’
cuts to the chase, goes to the source.
Just you & your brain
—in oneness.
Focused, concerted meditation
on-the-go, in background mode
with the focus very much
on ‘you’, ‘you’ alone
and ‘your’ future.
Preface
The purpose of meditation is personal transformation.
—Henepola Gunaratana
(Sri Lankan Buddhist monk)
This is a self-help book – in ‘quick guide’ form. It deals with a new, very modern and atypical form of meditation—meditation that can be done in background mode. It, as such, does not require any dedicated time. It is, therefore, ideally suited for the time constraints of today’s ‘mobile age’. This meditation is called ‘brain meditation’—because it is so centered on the brain. It is all achieved through ‘thinking’. Thinking which is done while doing routine, mundane tasks such as: brushing your teeth, getting a cup of coffee or doing some exercise. [There is a pictorial diagram in chapter 2.] Hence, it is easy to practice. Furthermore, it is easy to learn and master.
‘Brain meditation’, as spelled out in this quick guide, will help you attain oneness with your brain. There are manifold tangible benefits to this ‘oneness’; a prevailing sense of inner serenity being one. Chapters 8 & 9 talk about the rewards (and the marginal potential risks) of this program. You can, by all means, skip ahead and have a look. Actually, you can go ahead and riffle through this book—at will. I wrote it such that you can skim through it, initially, without having to read it, sequentially, page-by-page. The chapter titles should assist you with the navigation. The ‘Summary’ and ‘Keywords & Phrases’ pages found at the conclusion of the chapters will, in addition, provide you with a good ‘first-cut’ overview of what this program is all about.
I tried to make this book as pithy as possible. I made a point of using a lot of bullet points, short paragraphs and summary pages. My hope is that this will help you grasp what ‘brain meditation’ is all about—without having to read too many words.
