Meditation is fking simple bro. Just get started and after lets say 2 months of it you will feel like a different person. 30 min per day is fine.

Ah

Thanks md.

So meditation has precise techniques . From your description md it sounds like I'm being mindful not meditating .

How many ways are there to meditate ?

Avatar of tomtrytostay

I agree that article was bloody useless .

Sa it's interesting that you as a Christian or open to a type of altering your consciousness with a view to knowing yourself . Is that why you focus your mind ?

Is Mr. Miyagi finally getting through to his student?

Avatar of tomtrytostay

I'm not sure that mr myagi called the karate kid gay.

Hey I just think that it's an interesting conversation. But I'd certainly agree that md summed up mindfulness well . A non judgmental observation of our thoughts and feelings .

I'm misquoting again !

Unless, it's some sort of "Jedi-Mind-Trick" - I honestly feel that I've done my part, {until further notice}.. If even that!? - In answering, mainly 'Tom's questions.. With the parting {loving} comment, that Not Everyone, was intended to become a 'born-again' believer.. either-at-All; Or even necessarily, in the 'conventional sense' of that 'b.a' convert term!

 Including, those like myself - Who would almost literally, 'sooner die' than 'darken' the interior, of a church! -- It's just the essentially private, and reclusive {'Triune-God' acknowledging} personality, that I am!  .. 'Free-at Last' from these several, 'Tom' initiated, & related threads! .. Cheerio!  [ :

Interesting reading. . Types of meditation. 100's of personal agendas with their methodoligy. I take exception to author giving a "how to" of the practices given.

People will read this article, say to themselves, oh... so this is all I need to know . Without guidance, it is very easy to go astray . Many of the technigues given, are not true meditation.

It is very easy to say , focus on the fly on the wall, be the fly, be one with the fly and call it 'Bob's path to enlightenment ". The latest form of meditation. Send $99.85 to Bob @ fly meditation com.

Damn you tom...

Erase it!

Took up pages, using huge data

You gave the link

Now erase the paste.

You begged people not to flood, now you go and flood yourself. You think I hammered you before?

All formulations, have their 'starting' to 'mid-way' reasonings.

I.e. "Albert Einstein" quote: "Two things are Infinite - The Universe, and 'human stupidity' - And, I'm Not sure, about the Universe."

Avatar of mdinnerspace

OK.. the last straw. You are now officially on my ***& list. You think I was cordial in the past?

Avatar of mdinnerspace

Einstein got that right.

Avatar of tomtrytostay

Yes I agree that it's not polite to post huge articles and I made a mistake . I'm sorry .

Md you were cordial ? When ?!

Avatar of tomtrytostay
I think that I have a good idea of meditation now .

Mediation is about being outside of your thought and mindfulness about passively observing your thought .

Nirvana .

What do we see when we experience nirvana ? Can it be communicated or is that impossible ?

I get health benefits. I get the mind becomes a tool .

Anything else ?
