You Don’t Have to Be a Zen Buddhist Monk to Meditate




Growing up as an entrepreneur and a research junkie, I always read articles on meditation but never really understood all the hoopla. I was always one to seek power rather than peace. My entire life I struggled believing that you could only achieve this power one way, and one way only; through MONEY – and lots of it!

I soon realized that I had it all wrong. But it wasn’t until I became a certified hypnotherapist and began studying consciousness and the subconscious mind that I became aware “I’ve been played!”

Let me explain.

I’m sure you’ve heard the theory that humans use less than the full potential of their brains, correct? Well, why is it that no one ever says, why this is? And why does this theory not accompany discussion of how to increase our brainpower?

Meditation and the Right Brain

Meditation is the key to unlocking certain areas of the brain; areas that help us become more intuitive, imaginative, creative, and better connected to the universe. Albert Einstein, considered one of the greatest minds to have ever lived, was said to have struggled in his early school years. This was because Einstein was more of a right-brained thinker than a left-brained thinker. Einstein was never “taught” his theories and revelations. He received these insights and epiphanies on his own, while tapping into his subconscious mind during his meditations.

Einstein knew that there are two hemispheres of our brain that are responsible for different modes and manners of thinking. Left brain: logical, rational, details/parts, etc. Right brain: intuitive, integrating, imagination, holistic/big picture, etc. At one point Einstein even famously stated that “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. So if you agree that knowledge is power (as I do), just imagine how powerful our right-brain (where our imagination lives) really is!

Since adolescence, we were constantly taught to remember information in school that we’d never apply in the real world. We were purposely bombarded with 95% of left-brain activities and school work that purposely suppressed and left dormant our right brain. With just one creative art class allocated every other week, we slowly disconnected from our intuition and lowered our consciousness (creativity and ability to see the bigger picture) without knowing.

Like a muscle, the brain needs to be exercised in order to become stronger. Therefore, if you only exercise one side of your brain, then only one side will grow stronger, while the other side weakens. Why is this so important? It’s important because the right side of our brain is where the majority of our power lies — and is where our all-mighty subconscious mind resides. The subconscious mind is the place where all knowledge and infinite wisdom lies; it is the part of the mind that yields power and dominion over your physical body and your physical world. Hence the saying “mind over matter”.

Once I discovered one of the world’s greatest truths, that our outer world (career, spouse, etc.) is merely a reflection of our inner world (feelings, thoughts, emotions), I stopped chasing money, girls and things outside of myself, and began to focus on my most valuable asset — ME! I initiated the inevitable “inner work” needed for enlightenment and began meditating as a daily practice. Soon, I was better able to calm my thoughts, replace those thoughts with better ones, control my emotions, and heal all the internal wounds from letting life beat me up without fighting back.

As soon as my thoughts became healthy and my mind became wealthy – so did I!

You Don’t Have to be a Monk…

Just 15-minutes of meditation per day not only strengthens the right-side of the brain, improves your health, decreases your stress, enhances your creativity, it can also activate your psychic abilities and give you better access to your subconscious mind. This is the part of the mind that makes up 90% of who we are, how we think, what we believe, and how we behave.

You don’t have to be a Zen Buddhist Monk in order to meditate. It’s simple, start by sitting in silence for just five minutes a day; then slowly progress upward in five minute intervals until you can sit in this silence for approximately twenty to thirty minutes without jumping out of your skin. I believe once the majority of humanity awakens to these truths and learns how to consciously quiet the mind and tap into this enigmatic energy field, the world will change for the better — and faster then we could ever imagine!

The World Is (Y)ours

The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne helped to introduce one of the most powerful laws in the universe to the mainstream: the law of attraction. But there is much more to understand and many more powerful forces that coincide with the law of attraction — and that’s what Kurtis Lee Thomas brings to you in his book THE WORLD IS (y)OURS – The Awakening.

THE WORLD IS (y)OURS is your practical guide to ascension and an initiation into higher levels of consciousness. You will learn how to utilize life’s most powerful tools to your advantage: The Power of Thought(s), Emotions, Creative Visualization, Imagination, Affirmations, The Subconscious Mind, the Law of Attraction, and the remaining Laws of The Universe.

It’s time to start working smarter instead of harder and begin co-creating within your universe with far less effort and much more reward. THE WORLD IS (y)OURS provides tools to help you put aside worldly distractions and improve the quality of your life, as well as your perception of it.

THE WORLD IS (y)OURS is available now on Amazon.

“It is a rare author who can take the complexity and beyond-words aspect of spirituality and put it into simple English. Kurtis Lee Thomas is one of those rare finds. By example he leads, with hope he espouses, and through love he speaks to our hearts.” ~ G.W, Hardin, New York Times best-selling author.
