These meditations are designed to move you into sustained, coherent brainwave patterns. Dr Joe will instruct you to place your awareness on different parts of your body "in space" and on "the space around your body". This process trains you to become more skilled at altering your brain wave patterns and move into your subconscious mind, where you can change unwanted patterns of thought, behavior and emotion.

The first objective is to learn how to stay present so that you can make meditation a skill. It is from this new present state of mind, that you can change something physical or emotional about yourself and consciously create new experiences in your life. 

These guided meditations are a part of Dr Joe's four-week program discussed in the book, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. 

Although Dr Joe has mapped out a step by step program for you to learn the entire process, take as much time as you need to practice each step until it becomes familiar. This will allow you to build a strong foundation. When you can concentrate on what you're doing without letting your thoughts wander to any extraneous stimuli, you will come to a point where your body aligns with your mind. Now your new skill will become easier to do. 

For further information regarding the purpose and benefits of these meditations, refer to Chapters 9 – 13 in Dr Joe's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. The written form of these meditations can be found in Appendices A, B, and C of the book.
