For more information about Anne Milligan, CLICK HERE At this time, the following CD's are available for purchase: Mindfulness is a term widely used today, in the areas of mind-body medicine and mental health. Research in the area of neuroscience reveals more and more that our brains tend to form habits, old patterns which affect us very much today, even if we don't realize it is happening. Old habits which result in negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and anger can be broken at the deepest levels of the mind, and new healthier habits can be formed, through the path of mindfulness. When your thoughts improve, your mood improves, your relationships improve, and your body miraculously improves too! This meditation CD, created by Anne Milligan, combines mindfulness meditation (relaxation and focus), with guided imagery, and positive affirmations to help you reduce stress, let go of old habits, improve your mood, improve your self-esteem and confidence, reduce negative thoughts/emotions, and keep your body well over time. This meditation works because it is based on the following laws of the mind which are common to all people everywhere:: The law of the mind-body connection: Thoughts create physical reactions in the body. The law of expectation: What you expect to happen, tends to happen. The law of concentration: Whatever you focus on, increases. The law of repetition: What you repeat becomes a habit.  Anything can become a habit, including the way we think. Thought patterns form mostly because of the "associations" we mentally attach to people, ourselves, objects, and situations. Each time we repeat the thought-association patterns we are reinforcing and deepening the habit. For example, if you have had two straight weeks of insomnia, at some point you are going to immediately mentally and physically tense up when bedtime comes, because you have learned to associate bedtime with the agony of not being able to sleep. Another example would be someone who had a very neglectful childhood and has never known what genuine self-love and self-attention feels like. To them, the mental associations they attach to themselves are not very positive. Each time another self-critical thought pops into their mind and they accept it, the habit of negative self-image just deepens. The worst part of all of this is that what lies within us as a habit is most often what is reflected back to us in the way we live and the relationships we form (or don't form). This even helps to reinforce the problem deeper because those situations do nothing for a person's self-confidence or self-esteem. Habits can be broken, even habits of thought that result in chronic anger, anxiety and depression. Habits form most often in the area of the mind we call the "subconscious". A combination of deep relaxation and repetition of positive mental images and self-affirmations are like putting new data in the memory bank of your computer. You are literally changing the way your are "hard-wired" to think about yourself and your life. I (Anne Milligan) have observed a near-miraculous string of events that follow in a person's life after they have faithfully followed through on this inner work to build self-confidence and self-esteem. It appears that the world around them seems to change in accordance with the changes that are happening within. New more positive people seem drawn to them, they creatively problem-solve more effectively and confidently - things just seem to work out really well for them. What we most deeply believe and expect to happen really does happen.
