OK so I want to send a friend of mine some good and short meditation videos. I only have one so far, but I want more. Do any of you have any links to a video that is short and sweet about the personal benefits of meditation?
Thanks.
Meditation for what? As in explaining how it works, or music, or for laws of attraction, ect.?
Below is a selection of articles I wrote for my website.

Edit: Hmmm, it would seem I need to spend some time going over my linked videos... some apparently don't exist anymore.
I have many meditation and healing videos at my YouTube channel and there are plenty more good ones at other channels. I would suggest breath meditation as a good start.
Breath Meditation I (Anapanasati, Binaural, Isochronic, 4.5Hz, 136.1Hz OM)

There are many benefits to meditation.
Meditation will reduce stress and anxiety, lead to greater emotional control, improve memory, increase compassion, and increase focus.
Changes occur to the brain that can be seen on brain scans.
There is a thickening of brain tissues in the areas of emotional control. Also various other changes have been observed.

Those are some very good articles and the Eckhart Tolle video was interesting. Thanks for the good stuff!
In response to those articles I would agree that mindfulness is an important part of any practice.
What happened in "The Myth of the Experienced Meditator" is what is supposed to happen. One gets to the point where they can drop all techniques. However I would not consider the years spent meditating as a waste, it was part of the process of getting to the point where all techniques can be dropped. I believe Osho mentions this in "The Book of Secrets."
"Meditation – Correct Breathing"
Yes I agree there is definitely a correct way to breath. I mentioned it in my breath meditation video but did not go into it in detail as that would have been too much for beginners. I plan on doing something about correct breathing in a future video.
I have been greatly influenced by a very small book "Science of Breath" by Yogi Ramacharaka It was written 100 years ago and is now available free online: http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sob/index.htm
He explains about breath and the yogi complete breath then about rhythmic breathing and a lot of other good stuff.
'What is "Intent"'
As I said in response to another of your posts meditation helps focus intent. In the end it all boils down to intention. If you take Tom Campbell's "My Big TOE" theory he uses the metaphor of the multiverse being a giant computer we could just as easily view it as a big mind and we are all thoughts. Everything starts with a thought and in the end thoughts are all there is. So intention becomes a very powerful thing.
I also recommend Wayne Dyer's book "The Power of Intention."
"Help Fight The Negativity! April 2012!" & "Monthly Meditation!"
There are a number of monthly meditations on facebook. I think it is a good idea!
'The Feeling of "Mind Expansion"'
Very interesting post. I think trains are great places to meditate just don't miss your stop :-D
"Meditation – A Requirement To Exploring the Non-Physical"
You hit the mark well with this article. I have been telling people to do daily breath meditation to help with AP, OBE. Lucid Dreaming etc. I have even told a few people to stop trying AP for a while and just do breath meditation (they were trying too hard).
