I&#8217;ve taught classes, groups, and individuals. During that time I discovered that there is more potential in mindfulness than simple mental relaxation and meditation. I discovered that combining the Emergence Principle with deep mindfulness meditation makes it possible to enhance creativity by stimulating imagination and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light'; text-align: left; font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.5;\">As I continued developing my practice, I was able to create new techniques to invoke the experience and benefits of deep mindfulness mediation, without relying on the rigid rules I learned with traditional meditation. I describe this in detail in the EM Course with a step-by-step method to take your practice wherever and whenever you want. This technique solves the big problem that most people encounter &#8211; fitting all the requirements of traditional meditation into their busy lives in the modern world. That difficulty is why most people quit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light'; text-align: left; font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.5;\">As I pursued this line of inquiry further, I discovered that deep mindfulness could be used to do what many people believe is impossible &#8211; to completely stop thinking. Interrupting your thought stream, even for short periods, is incredibly relaxing. Anyone can do it, using the method I explain in the EM Course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light'; text-align: left; font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.5;\">Finally I learned how mindfulness is being used in clinical settings to successfully treat OCD patients and many others who need to break their deeply ingrained and unhealthy patterns of behavior. This new understanding of the relationship between mind and brain has revolutionized neuroscience. There has been plenty of hype about rewiring your brain, and there are many charlatans selling fake products. The method I teach is based on real science, and it works. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/emergentmeditation.com\/index.php\/product\/complete-em-program\/\">EM Course<\/a> I teach a <a href=\"https:\/\/emergentmeditation.com\/index.php\/change-your-brain\/\">Four Step Method<\/a> that uses attention, mindfulness awareness, and directed mental force to break bad habits and reinforce healthy ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light'; text-align: left; font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.5;\">I&#8217;ve designed the EM Course to be more than a one-and-done experience. I provide ongoing personal support and include lifetime access, including all updates and additions. I strive to make this course a complete solution that anyone can follow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #303030; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light'; text-align: left; font-size: 80%;\"><em>&#8211; \u00a0Ed Noyes, Creator and Instructor<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; section_type=&#8221;alternate&#8221; vertical_align=&#8221;yes&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;5&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;5&#8243; el_class=&#8221;col dark&#8221;][vc_column][ult_buttons 1=&#8221;&#8220;btn_size=&#8220;ubtn-custom&#8220;&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Try the EM Course Now!&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Femergentmeditation.com%2Findex.php%2Fproduct%2Fcomplete-em-program%2F|||&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;ubtn-center&#8221; btn_size=&#8221;ubtn-custom&#8221; btn_width=&#8221;325&#8243; btn_height=&#8221;65&#8243; btn_title_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_bg_color=&#8221;#00bd39&#8243; btn_hover=&#8221;ubtn-fade-bg&#8221; btn_anim_effect=&#8221;ulta-grow&#8221; icon=&#8221;none&#8221; icon_size=&#8221;22&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; btn_icon_pos=&#8221;ubtn-sep-icon-at-left&#8221; btn_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; btn_color_border=&#8221;#adadad&#8221; btn_border_size=&#8221;3&#8243; btn_radius=&#8221;10&#8243; btn_font_size=&#8221;desktop:19px;tablet:18px;tablet_portrait:18px;mobile_landscape:13px;mobile:13px;&#8221; css_adv_btn=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509120383173{padding-right: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 1px !important;}&#8221; btn_font_style=&#8221;font-weight:bold;&#8221; btn_font_family=&#8221;font_family:Merriweather Sans|font_call:Merriweather+Sans&#8221;][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;200%&#8221; line_height=&#8221;150%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Unleash the Power of Your Mind with EM<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;160%&#8221; line_height=&#8221;150%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; color: #303030; font-family: Source Sans Pro Light;\"><em>Too often we feel <a href=\"https:\/\/emergentmeditation.com\/index.php\/anxiety\/\"><em>stress and anxiety<\/em><\/a> from the pressures and demands in our busy lives.
