There's a series of articles in this month's Trader Monthly magazine about meditation. Apparently there's a whole town in America called Fairfield that consists of meditators and there's a dozen trading firms there. It kind of ties in with this thread

It's intersting to hear your views, Charlton. And those of the others who are contributing to this thread. I absolutely agree with you about "energy". Since I have been using my Meditation Machine, I really feel I am more connected to the universe and the universal energy. I suppose the energy...

I find this a fascinating subject. And I have to say that it's one of the reasons that I've become so interested in meditation. There are two books that I've read recently that have changed my way of thinking on the concepts of "manifesting your desires" and the "Law of Attraction". In case...

Meditation and brain states I agree with you on this, Charlton. Just because a person using a Meditation Machine has the same brainwave patterns as an experienced meditator( such as a Zen monk ), that doesn't necessarily mean that the person is meditating. However, this applies, of course...

Hi CJIA, This is a difficult one to answer. I think the Meditation Machine has made me more than just relax. I believe that I am meditating when I use it, but the question is what exactly is meant by meditation. And, of course, everyone will have a slightly different definition. I have done an...

Wow rols, I'm afraid you lost me on this one ! And I was always told not to trust anyone who says "Trust Me". :D Anyway, let's just agree to disagree. Regards. Ivor

Yes. But that's just it. Tests under controlled conditions have been carried out. And the results show that the brainwave patterns achieved by people using light and sound stimulation are identical to those achieved by Zen monks when they meditate. I'm not saying that a Meditation Machine will...

Well I can't say that I've ever had an orgasm whilst using my Meditation Machine, but I'll keep trying !! Seriously though, rols, I see what you're getting at - and to some extent I usually think the same. But in this case, I'm not sure what you mean by "learning to do it properly". The idea...

Hi Baptist, No I don't think using a Meditation Machine will form a crutch. Meditating with a Meditation Machine puts you in excatly the same place as meditating without one. Somewhere on the site it says that these machines are an example of "East meeting West" - Western technology being used...

Hi Arbitrageur, Sorry about the delay in answering you. I don't know about the Life Tools Mind Machines stuff - it might be the same kind of thing. I got my Meditations Machine from www.meditations-uk.com. The one I use is called Inner Pulse , if that's any help. HTH Regards, Ivor

Hi Bramble, Thanks for your reply. Are you saying in connection with trading, then, that during a meditation session, you should focus on positive outcomes for your trades and try to use all your senses trying to imagine those positive outcomes actually happening ? I can't say I agree with...

Hi Bramble, I've started meditating regularly using one of those Meditation Machines. But what I want to know now is how to gear my meditation sessions for trading. What kind of 'purposeful visualisation techniques' do you use ? Regards, Ivor

Hi Jay, I bought one a little while ago and I think it's brilliant. I've tried to meditate before, but not got anywhere with it. But now I find I can relax and meditate really easily. I also bought the Biofeedback game from the same site which is amazing. (My kids love it too). Regards, Ivor

Yes. I guess it's important to have the discipline to make the time. In case anyone's interested, here's an interesting site about meditation. www.meditations-uk.com Regards, Ivor

When I read about 'star' traders, there seems to be a high number who say that meditation, or some form of visualisation exercise, have helped in their trading success. Does anyone here meditate ? Regards, Ivor
