I see there are a few buddhists and other types of spritually minded people here in this community. I was wondering how many people practice meditation what type how long and what you have expirienced. I have seen so many ways of meditating and they all seem the same to me but I dont think I can properly do it yet. I have been reading diferent web sites and have sort of come up with my own style but I dont know how to properly do it or dont think I do so I would ask for your help please.
I've been tinking on a way to add to this thread; but havent found a way to express that knowledge I have and wish to share.. (Digit, I found a knowledge i cannot /yet/ share!) it's very frustrating. [and so does it still have value ? ... ] I can point you to the book that enlighted me: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...4307602/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-0872678-4325561 it is a discution between a philosopher and a buddhist monk. in between the lines, the monks teaches meditation in a very simple manner. I recommend this book to EVERYONE !
Last night at my mates place I got drunk on a carton of woodstock and had to crash there the nigh. while in bed I was laying there and rememberd what I read the night before. Somthing like when you approch a dream like state let it happen and I did I sort of floted off to this wierd felling only lasted for 5 sec but I did it again but then I must have passed out but I could fell myself falling into meditation and it felt very cool. I will try it again tonight you can see the efects from the alchole.
I highly recommend reading any books that the yogi Paramahansa Yogananda has written. He has a book on meditations and breathing exercises that goes in depth on how to properly meditate. He is a very amazing, spiritual, and awe-inspiring man.
