garryn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I got a few books, read up, ignored what I didn't want and started meditating a few months ago. ( No that doesn't mean I've been meditating non stop since then! ) I centre on my breathing, no formal religous aspect and no chanting. Whilst I have no problem with what I'm doing, just wondered if there were any classes out there that could help in refining my practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Why did you do all this? Were you ill or stressed out or just doing it to see what effect it had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryn Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I had been through a situation where I'd been stressed out, but had come out the other side. Looking back at it I realised how stressed I had been and realised I didn't want to get like it again. At that point the stress had dissipated (and I had a few minutes a day) so it seemed like the perfect time to look at introducing it to my life. I've read a quite a few places where people start to help with depression etc. That wasn't me. I can't say exactly why it seems to work for me, but it does. Thats good enough for now.

Joey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I get embarrassed and go red quite easily and read a book recently that suggested relaxation methods to stop the process in its tracks when I can feel it starting. I took a couple of the suggestions, and it seems to work so far. Not sure I'd want to do meditation as such, but its amazing the power the mind can have!
