A Brief History of Transcendental Meditation
By Anutza Bellissimo,CAMF | May 6, 2010
Transcendental meditation is a relatively new form of meditating in comparison with Yoga and Buddhist meditation. It was developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1957 as a way of developing the mind so that a person can rise above, or “transcend”, beyond the noise and stress of daily life. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a student of the famous Hindu Guru, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati. From 1958 onwards, he travelled the world teaching his spiritual regeneration and enlightenment.
Transcendental meditation had its beginnings in the Far East and then spread to the western world. After three years of travelling and teaching, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi realized that he needed to train his followers so that they could spread this form of meditation even further.
The first international training course was held in Rishikesh, India in 1961. As more and more people all over the world realized the benefits of this form of meditation, scientists began researching it and by 1970 the first scientific papers were published espousing the technique. Since then there have been hundreds of such documents published, all of which show that transcendental meditation:
• helps to reduce the stress levels in the body leading to overall good health
• helps to increase a person’s creativity
• helps to heighten the intelligence level of the meditator
• brings about self-realization
• could actually help you to live longer
Transcendental meditation does not have any religious affiliation, but it did have a political association in the Natural Law Party. This political party was formed in 1992 with the goal of using the principles of the meditation as a way of finding ways to solve the problems of society – crime, injustice, economics and environmental issues.
Basic transcendental meditation courses are generally expensive and in spite of the high cost, an estimated five million people all over the world have taken these courses. There are also advanced courses available for extra costs. This process of meditation is relatively easy to learn in the seven-step procedure used in the four days of the course. Each day begins with a two hour lecture and the instruction starts with a ceremony performed by the instructor after which the students learn the technique and start practicing.
The principle behind the technique of transcendental meditation is that the source of all thoughts is the deepest level of the subconscious and is far beyond what the normal senses can experience. In this meditation, the practitioner takes one thought or sound and focuses on this so that it can be experienced in the deepest possible way.
The Maharishi compared it to a bubble of water that starts deep in the water and is only visible when it reaches the surface. He said that our thoughts are the same way – they start in the subconscious and rise to the conscious level of the mind.
In January, 2008, the Maharishi retired as the chairman of the transcendental meditation organization. He passed away the following month in Vlodrop, Netherlands, where he had lived for almost 20 years, coordinating his centers of teaching through an organization known as the Global Country of World Peace.

Mind Over Money…The Key to Financial Stress Reduction
By Anutza Bellissimo,CAMF | March 30, 2010
The need for financial know-how is clear. In every economy, people are clamoring for help. More than ever, the current state of the economy has put a financial strain on maore families and businesses across the country.
The Stress & Anger Management Institute, LLC has just the class to turn financial stress into financial freedom. The Financial Stress Reduction class will teach students how to easily and effortlessly create more money, and eliminate debt.
The program will help students: learn how to create more cash on a daily basis, handle credit responsibly to get out of debt, negotiate the pay raise they deserve, generate more sales to increase their income, and most importantly, maintain a positive prosperity attitude so that they may designate more time off to enjoy with their loved ones.
That is, S.A.M.I. Learning Centers wants each student to walk away with a positive mentality. Like mind over matter, mind over money begins with believing you deserve it and can get it. S.A.M.I. Learning Centers teaches students to say prosperity affirmations daily to maintain a positive attitude. Students will learn to focus and trust in their ability to create financial abundance.
The Financial Stress Reduction workshop follow the critically acclaimed program created by author of The Wealthy Spirit, Chellie Campbell, who introduced the workshop almost 20 years ago. In her book, Campbell writes,
Make wealth-internal and external-your goal this year. Believe you will make more money with less stress…Be willing to risk change and survive the storms to find your highest good. counting your money will make your money count-and remember to count your friends and your blessings as well. Then celebrate-you have taken the first step along the path to great achievement.
The Financial Stress Reduction workshop is not just for those who are struggling to make money. The classes are open to men and women who need financial guidance, as well as those who are already wealthy, but have difficulties balancing work and their personal lives.
As Campbell writes, half of financial stress reduction is “minding your money without losing your mind.” S.A.M.I. Learning Centers will help students set goals and encourage them to achieve each goal without neglecting life outside of the workplace.

Stress & Anger Management Institute for a Healthy Mind and Body
By Anutza Bellissimo,CAMF | March 25, 2010
While we may more easily accept the idea that physical pain can have emotional repercussions, the reverse is also true; emotional disturbances, can, and most likely will, have an impact on our physical state. S.A.M.I.’s “Healing Rhythms” program includes meditation, biofeedback events, and breath work. The lessons in this program will show students a range of different ways to strengthen their mind/ body connection-and thus, their overall health and well-being.
The simple act of being aware of one’s breath or energy level on a daily basis can have a considerable impact on how one thinks, feels and acts, especially when each day they are put in highly stressful situations. Releasing tension doesn’t happen all at once-it is a gradual process, just as it takes a long time for the body to accumulate the different layers of tension and stress. Meditation consists of quieting the mind so that students can discover and re-experience the eternal quiet and deep wisdom within them. The average person lives a busy life, filled with so much sound, movement, and activity that meditation is essential to help go within the distractions and stress so that students may reconnect with their authentic character.
Students will also learn how to use breath work as a tool to overcome their stress and anger. By engaging in even just a few minutes of conscious breathing, students can help undo and even prevent the negative effects that stress can have on their health. Biofeedback technology uses sophisticated electronic equipment to measure and monitor changes in internal physiological states. The measurements offer insight into what is going on energetically in the body, and provide a platform on which students can make positive changes to their mental, physical and emotional states. The technology allows students to explore the powerful effects that breathing and meditation can have on their mind and body as they begin to let go of physical and mental stress. It is very important for individuals to learn how to deal with anger and stress and realize how the two can affect their everyday lives
Biofeedback and meditation can be helpful to counter the effects of negative thoughts by cultivating positive emotions. Unless someone works in the kind of job that puts them on the front lines of real physical danger every day, chances are they are relatively “safe” in the office, home, or school. But still, the stress of interactions, work, and business politics can elicit a damaging negative reaction, which is why it is so important to gain control of the mind and body at the same time. No matter where the stress originates, whether at home, the office, or in school, if it goes unaddressed, the body takes a serious hit and the result can be anything from mild aches and pains to inflammations and disease.
For more information on S.A.M.I. Learning Centers’ “Healing Rhythms” program, visit us online at http://www.TheSAMIGroup.com or call us to schedule an appointment at 1-800-520-8867.

Any Day, Any Time Anger Management
By Anutza Bellissimo,CAMF | March 18, 2010
For years now, both men and women have become subject to the demands of fast-pace lifestyles. Each day is full of hassles, deadlines, irritations, and burdens, for many people. Stress and anger is so common, that it has become a way of life. When one is constantly running on “emergency mode,” their body pays the price.
Doctors have repeatedly warned of the potential fatal dangers that stress and anger introduce to our bodies. Remember, the human body has no way to distinguish a physical threat from psychological threat. When one is worked up over an argument, or stressed about a traffic jam, the body reacts as strongly as it would if you were faced with a life or death situation.
However, if you feel that it is time to take action and bring your nervous system back into balance, then you must learn to take steps toward reducing the harmful effects of stress and anger.
The Learning Centers offer a number of courses, at great rates, to help individuals get a grip on stress and overcome needless anger.
We have recently introduced our new Anger Management program called “Any Day, Any Time,” and group sessions are only $37. Students may use their “Any Day, Any Time” pass up to five times a week, once per day, during regular business hours, as classes start every hour, on the hour. S.A.M.I. students may also choose to opt-in to an individual, one-on-one, anger management class, for $47.
Our classes provide education for people who are interested in or who need to learn how to deal with their stress and anger or someone else’s stress and anger in a more positive, functional way. S.A.M.I. uses innovative tools, such as the “SAMI Pillow” to help individuals explore their emotional intelligence.
S.A.M.I. Learning Centers offers group and individual classes open to parents, executives, teens, high-profile industry leaders – pretty much anybody who is not living “the good life” as a result of stress, anger or ineffective communication skills. S.A.M.I. also tailors employee training programs for businesses. These programs benefit small and large companies alike, by improving productivity, reducing conflict and focusing on wellness (which decreases sick days off and increases employee retention).
As an alternative to traditional therapy, S.A.M.I. offers a whole new way of thinking about yourself and the world around you – giving you simple solutions to conflict resolution. Our program leads to optimism, enlightenment and a new sense of personal empowerment. Get to the root of your problems today, do not let stress and anger take over or terrorize your relationships. For those interested in improving their life, sign up for a class of your choice today. Call now to set up an appointment (800) 520-8867.

Anger In the Air…
By Anutza Bellissimo,CAMF | August 16, 2009
As I sit at the Cheviott Hills park listening to my guided meditations by One Coach co-founder; John Assaraf and “Getting In the Gap” by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, I am ever so rudely interrupted by a screaming parent. This man is yelling and calling his teenage boys “s#it’s” as he proceeds to get into his car.
Of course, it just so happens that he’s parked next to my car when he slams his door open and hit’s my car door. I as I tell him, “Please don’t hit my car again” he yells “sorry” at me.
It seems “anger is in the air” just about everywhere every day. As I stopped to get gas at the AM/PM on Slauson Ave. and Sepulveda Blvd. a couple cut me off and aggressively moved into the gas pump I was about to use. I know this station has good prices but come on, people. The gas isn’t going anywhere.
Since I do not believe it’s my right to impose my will upon other’s, I keep my business cards and comments to myself. I do wonder though, are these aggressive people looking for my help, in a pasive aggressive manner? Nah, probably not…
