The meditative technique to experience a Peaceful Spot in the brain is very simple, but it has to be put in perspective.
You could spend your whole life meditating and not experience a Peaceful Spot anywhere in your body. The technique we are presenting can be experienced in less than five minutes, but it took years to discover and refine.
I mention this because appreciation of an experience allows it to be reproduced with ease but taking it for granted will cause you to loose interest in what has been shown to you.

The purpose of Tension, and how to stay focused while relaxed.
I've often experienced, or heard other energy practitioners describe the following. A tense person shows up, you get them feeling comfortable and their tension disappears. As soon as they stand up to leave, their tension returns. They liked feeling comfortable with themselves, they complained about the discomfort of the tension, yet the tension always comes back. The question is why?
One day, I discovered an answer to this paradox. My energy researcher colleague Linda Clave and I were at the Arnold Arboretum. And as we sat looking at the calming influence of the trees I said to her "What is so appealing about tension?" I asked Linda to insert tension into my energy field. As she proceeded to do this I was casually looking around at my surroundings. The instant I felt tension in my energy field I noticed that my visual acuity increased. Everything became super-sharp, as if I were hunting. When Linda then inserted an easy-going sensation into my energy field, my super-sharp vision became soft and no longer so detailed.
This was the answer. Individuals who need to feel safe want a sharp focus, so that they are more acutely aware of their environment. Their need to be aware of their environment sends a signal to their brain through their eyes to create tension, which increases their ability to see sharply.
Once we understood this, I wanted to find an answer to this dilemma: "How do you give a person strong visual acuity and still allow them to feel comfortable so they stay relaxed?" The experience of feeling the Peaceful Spot in your brain solves this dilemma. As the person feels the Peaceful Spot in their brain, then opens their eyes, they experience an increase in their visual ability. They not only have sharper visual acuity but everything they see becomes more vibrant, but at the same time they continue to feel physically relaxed.
Finally we had a technique that could give a person the ability to feel safe because they have a strong level of alertness, but also allows them to feel peaceful at the same time.

How does the process of assisting others to experience the Peaceful Spot work?
The first part of the process is verbal instructions. Just like guided meditation where you are instructed in what to do, you will be given step-by-step instructions. You will be asked not to use will power or concentration. An energy phenomenon will not work if you try to control it. A casual attitude is the best mental and emotional state to have to make this work.
The second part of the process is the transmission of the peaceful energy signal from the person assisting you to have the experience. Energy transmission or emoting is the feeling that you feel coming from another person when you first meet someone. The person assisting you can transmit that peaceful signal so that when your consciousness enters the center of the brain you will be able to locate the sensation of a peaceful place.
The process of transmission of energy or energy signals falls apart if the person receiving the energy or energy signal refuses to cooperate. The nature of energy is that when two people work on the same topic, both people wind up energetically stronger. Once you know how to find the peaceful place you can do it on your own.

Assisting others in a group environment
One important energy phenomenon is energy buildup through group energy. When you go to a workshop on personal development, all the energy of the other people in the room make it easier for you to feel and be aware of your own intuitive abilities. Group energy can be noticed in sports arenas, in the theater, religious services, and in any activity where people with similar views get together.
While assisting someone to experience the Peaceful Spot one-on-one has its merit, the best results for beginners can occur in a supportive group environment.

Looking in to look out.
Once you experience the Peaceful Spot you will get a second set of instructions. These are to explore the limits of the Peaceful Spot and to learn how to do a dual action — to feel something inside of yourself while looking outside of yourself.
First you will be asked, "How far do you have to move away in the brain before you no longer feel the Peaceful Spot — a quarter of an inch, half an inch, one inch or more?" This question help you become more aware of your experience of the Peaceful Spot. As you move away from the Peaceful Spot and can no longer feel it, you have to come to a conclusion to fully grasp that conscious connection gives you a feeling of peace and moving away removes the feeling of feeling peaceful.
You will be asked, "As you feel the Peaceful Spot, open your eyes and take a look around the room. What do you notice that is different about the room?" I won't tell you in advance what to expect. you will find out when you try it.
You will be asked, "What do you notice that is now different in how you view yourself?" Again you will discover what happens when you try this.
The ability to feel a quality in your body such as a peaceful vibration and at the same time be able to look around at your environment is referred to as "Looking in to look out."

Some nice things said about the Peaceful Spot and Looking in to look out.
"I've never been able to look people in the eye, but when I do this I can look them in the eye and it feels comfortable."
"Everything I look at vibrates and seems so much more alive." This is the usual experience.
"I kept seeing colors around people." This is not common but it did happen to one person who attended a workshop.

Discovering and using the Imaging System in your brain
Once the Peaceful Spot is activated in a person it also activates image memory or what we call the Imaging System. Image memory is the ability to have images show up in your brain.
The loss of imaging can happen to those who have been traumatized. When you get this ability back and the image of your trauma shows up, it can be quite startling. That is why we emphasize that in mastering these techniques, you are learning how to use the Imaging System of your brain so that you can consciously choose to have images show up or disappear.
The goal of this educational program is not only to have you develop the understanding of how you can influence the images in your brain for your own personal development, but also to help you develop the confidence that you can do it.
