WHY MEDITATE TO ENLIGHTENED MUSIC?
It's kind of tricky to meditate in this age, and I've figured out a way to make it easy for you.
It's to meditate to music. I have created a number of albums, which are designed to meditate to.
If you sit, if you make your mind quiet, if you're still and you listen to the music, the music will do two things.

• The energy in the music is very high. I've gone into very high planes of consciousness, into samadhi, to bring a certain power into the music as a whole.
• And when you put on the music], the energy is so high in it that it will simply block out the thoughts and impressions of the people in this world.

I have infused each of the albums with the light of enlightenment and with a tremendous amount of kundalini. I can't explain how it's done-but let's just say that it's hooked up to a certain dimensional access point.
When you listen to the songs, the level is actually there of a particular universe, a very high plane, and it will lift you up if you can just listen to it-into these higher dimensions-the same way it would if you were meditating with me or with another enlightened teacher.
When you put on the music], essentially you're sitting down with an enlightened teacher and meditating with them.

Preface The Enlightenment Cycle series of talks is Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz' introductory material for the new student of meditation and enlightenment.
Rama explains how to meditate and specifically how to meditate in modern times, when we are living on a very crowded planet.
He introduces his unique approach of combining traditional powerful methods of meditation with music that connects us directly to higher states of awareness.
Rama describes what enlightenment is and why it's worth seeking. He discusses fundamental and profound Buddhist and yogic concepts in a down-to-earth manner that's easy for people today in both the East and West to relate to. We learn about mindfulness, power, balance, wisdom, personal happiness, reincarnation, and the miraculous-directly from a modern day enlightened master.
This series of talks explains the core principles of practice with Rama's unique blend of clarity and humor.
Since Rama was focused on updating Buddhist and yogic teachings for our age, he also describes how career can be used as part of the practice, especially technology and computer science careers.
After the release of the original Enlightenment Cycle talk series in 1992, Rama added two follow-on recordings: Intermediate Meditation and The Enlightenment Cycle.
Intermediate Meditation provides additional instructions to the student who's been meditating daily for a few months or longer. Rama explains how additional focus techniques can be added to strengthen the meditative experience once the student has developed a basic practice.
The final talk, simply called The Enlightenment Cycle, provides a broad review and discussion of the pathway to enlightenment and why it's worth pursuing.
Each chapter in this book is a transcription of a recorded audio talk. The talks reflect the spontaneous tone that typified Rama's live seminars, which combined sophisticated descriptions of deep spiritual truths with warmth and humor, recalling stories of the Buddha and other enlightened teachers conversing with their students.
Rama's words will guide you on an entertaining and profound tour of meditation, magic, and enlightenment.
