When off, Dr. Smith has fun working on his hobby -- assembling contemplations that illuminate and challenge superficial religiousity. His preferred tool of spiritual enlightenment and redemption is the harmless anagram ("Biblegram" or "Spaghettigram"). SCROLL BELOW TO ENTER (OR AVOID) THE TOXIC RELIGIOUSITY INOCULATION KIT(The Mysterious Biblegram) and THE FALSE GODS PEST CONTROL KIT (The Flying Spaghetti Monster). Hey, it's just a hobby!

FREE AUDIO INSTRUCTION DOWNLOADS
Dear Friends and Readers,
I'm pleased to announce that downloads of the entire 8-CD Mindfulness COMPLETE instruction series are now ABSOLUTELY FREE. These are the very same CDs I use with trainees, students, and clients and are based on the latest research at Chicago's Roosevelt University Stress Institute. Each is professional quality. Traditional price: $189.
My hope is that by making direct audio instructions easily and conveniently available without charge, more people will explore the promise of relaxation and mindfulness. You can discover for yourself the primary discovery of 10 years of research: all approaches to relaxation, meditation and mindfulness are not the same, like generic aspirin tablets. Instead, different approaches have different effects. The entire package of download CDs includes:
Simple Mindfulness (without preparatory relaxation warmup)Yoga Stretching followed by Mindfulness
Progressive Muscle Relaxation followed by Mindfulness
Breathing Exercises followed by Mindfulness
Autogenics followed by Mindfulness
Guided Imagery followed by Mindfulness
Concentrative Meditation followed by Mindfulness
Deep Body Relaxation (Progressive Muscle Relaxation + Autogenics only)
Experiment and explore! Pick an exercise that interests you. Try several. Remember -- different approaches work for different people. If you aren't sure what to try, download the free
RELAXATION WORKSHOP below for brief samples of them all! And if you are seriously inspired to learn relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, or any approach to stress management, I recommend you consider my training manual,
RELAXATION, MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS or any of the books listed on this website. All work with the free download instructions.
Download and enjoy!
Dr. Smith
CONDITIONS FOR USE: You are free to use any or all of these downloads for personal, professional, or scientific use. Downloads may not be sold. Whenever a download is played or used, written acknowledgement must be given as to its source, including this statement: "This recording was created by Jonathan C. Smith, PhD.

Although relaxation exercises are generally safe for most people, some individuals should display simple common-sense precautions. Generally, relaxation training may involve a modest level of exertion, perhaps a little more than climbing a flight of stairs. You, and possibly your physician or nurse, should be aware of the following two precautions:
Some exercises involve bending, stretching, moving, tensing up muscles, or breathing deeply. Avoid any such exercise that could conceivably aggravate any physical pain, discomfort, injury, infection, illness, weakness, wound, or lesion. These include problems concerning skin, muscles, ligaments, bone, lungs, and nerves.
The relaxation techniques you will learn can evoke reductions in metabolic rate. This in turn may lower blood pressure and alter blood chemistry levels in such a way as to change the required dosage levels of prescription medications.
If any exercise makes you uncomfortable in any way, do not continue practicing it unless you have qualified professional assistance.

Toward a Psychology of RELAXATION & RENEWAL
FREE ARTICLE!
Dr. Smith's latest theory on what makes mindfulness, relaxation, and meditation work. Relaxation involves the body and mind. Researchers have studied body relaxation for decades. Recent psychological studies suggest that the secret to relaxation may be a fundamental lexicon of 12 relaxation states (R-States) organized into 4 groups. This "Window of Renewal" consists of: (1) Basic Relaxation, (2) Mindfulness, (3) Positive Energy, and (4) Transcendence.

History and Mission of the Reformed Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
What's this talk about a "Flying Spaghetti Monster"? Is this church for real? Can you be a Flying Spaghetti Monsterist and a Christian? A Jew? A Vegetarian? Are there any differences? Is this a joke or serious spiritual essay? Maybe both? Why did a band of courageous rebels risk all to break away from the dogmas of the Mother Church of the FSM to create the Reformed Church of the FSM? What was their beef? Why couldn't these trouble-makers just swallow their pride, live with the "Good Old Time Religion," and trust change to evolve over the centuries? Why couldn't they just shut up and become polite and pious "cafeteria Pastafarians"? Here are answers to your nagging questions.

The International Flying Spaghetti Monster Movement
FREE ARTICLE! The International Flying Spaghetti Monster Movement (IFSMM) is dedicated to bringing light and hope to the those afflicted with the spiritual darkness of religious dogma and intolerance. Our tool is humor. We believe that God laughs and that those who can laugh at the foibles of their religiosity come closer to the Real Truth. The IFSMM was inspired by Prophet Bobby Henderson. His website, venganza.org, and Book (Villard, 2006) triggered a burst of interest in the use of humor to challenge the flaws and sins of institutionalized religion. Henderson’s idea could be the beginnings of a religious movement. However, religious movements based only on the writing of a single person whither and die. Movements that inspire the insights and creations of many flourish and grow. That is the goal of the IFSMM.
