Are they linked ? Ummm, To train, calm or empty the mind. I think thats a pretty close linkage ;)

Hope that helped,

I tried 'meditating' once, it helps me to calm down, maybe I will do it again. I just go sit on the floor/big pillow, in the classic yoga-legs-crossed-style and... relax ^__^

I guess its good to get relaxed, relaxation is good for your DR and therefor your LD's =)

Ewwwwwwww...

That's such a painful position ! Tae Kwon Do is a sport that uses that when they do meditation or "Focus" "Chang Ching Tang IL(pronunciation not spelling) = Concentration in South Korean" hehe, anyway!

When your almost 6 foot, and have had leg related sports injuries, and have history of bad back in the family :P Sitting down with my legs crossed isnt my idea of relaxation... i'm more of those *snuggle with 3 pillows my miniature dachshund, and a big down comforter, with a drool bucket* type of person. hehe

Really though, just cause it says Buddhist / Hinduism dont feel threatened by it like it is a religious thing, it is about concentration, relaxation, and sleep usually *drool* hehe,

Good Luck,
Ezekiel
