so it doesnt matter which I pick as long as I do it? |
|
Not in my opinion, no. If you're comfortable, you're doing it right. |

Ahhhh ic. |

Indeed, I guess I think thay way because its my minds way of creating a purpose, but how does anyone obtain anything without having some sort of drive to accomplish something; like a goal or end state? |

So I have to ask: Why is this in Religion/Spirituality? There's nothing religious/spiritual about it. Meditation only had to do with religion/spirituality if you've got that attitude about it. |

Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
Well yea thats why I practice it. I believe meditation practices can allow an individual to get closer to the source, that fundemental nature of reality tha quantum physics is beginning to shed light on. Meditation has been around alot longer than quantum physics so there is alot of good history there waiting to be learned. So to answer your question I do have an attitude that mediation is a spiritual practice. |

So much knowledge on nothing? |

I do it to cool down and figure things out, insight meditation I think it's called. I used to be interested in all that charkra balancing stuff but I would get fed up when I couldn't remember all that stuff and then I realized... why? Zen is me |

You cannot destory the ego with the ego my friend. |

I have been partial to transcendental (silently repeating a mantra almost effortlessly and with a very light tendency to move toward concentrating on the mantra) for a long time, but I also like pranayama (slow, deep breathing) and all out concentrating on objects and music. Combining pranayama and all out concentration on music is an extremely good mind expander and anxiety reliever. It can annihilate a panic attack. I plan to try out the Zen techniques of zazen (concentrating on environment) and koans (thinking really hard about absurd questions). I like all of it, but transcendental has given me the best highs. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
I likes me some tonglen and guru yoga, though I haven't been properly initiated in either one. Tranquility/simple breathing remains my meat and potatoes (...er, fish + rice?). |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
From my own personal experience I would say you really ought to keep your eyes open. I sat for years eyes closed, and I got "results" but they were pretty weak compared to what I've been doing lately. When you close your eyes your mind tends to sink. You relax, but you don't focus; you aren't really paying attention. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

I enjoy equanimity meditations myself. Working with the feeling body is probably the easiest way to start. |
