That's a bit too funny for bedtime. I'm going to have to hang on another half hour now before there's any point in going.

bodleing2: No, mindfulness stands on its own and requires no spiritual connection.
That's a relief, I was worried I might have to give it up.------ This thread is Archived ------

Meditation doesnt have to be connected to a spiritual practice. TM is a prime example of meditation without a spiritual connection.Anyway, early start for me tomorrow, hospital in the morning for a heart procedure. If all goes well I'll be back home in the evening....

bodleing2: It's not an easy thing to do, particularly on your own at first. It's much better within a group setting. If you really want to experience the benefits of regular meditation find a local group, there are lots around.
It’s a living, breathing, three-dimensional oxymoron to want or expect immediate results from meditation. My advice to anyone venturing thereto - join a yoga or zen group. If unsure how, where, etc…talk with a karate instructor; he will undoubtably know someone, as meditation is a part of martial arts…jmo------ This thread is Archived ------

With my simple mind and lill experience , if you allow me to share my view point about this !
There are things goe highly in hype sometimes ..
Presently it's that time for Meditation to being Overhyped ...
People like to follow the Trend ...
I've seen people getting really obsessed with Meditation..
As a result , without getting Rid Off Stress , instead they are in fact Getting More Stressed Because of this Obsession towards Meditation..
"How to do it Perfectly" ..
"If they are Doing it Right or Not"..
"Why Can't they Do it Properly (as in your case)" ..
Etc.. Etc...
I think , the point is , to Bring Comfort , Satisfaction , Peace and Happiness ..
So.. If you Feel that Meditation is Bringing all that , then fine , Continue with it..
But .. If you Feel it's actually Doing Exactly opposite and Making you More Stressed , Then DON'T FORCE IT UPON YOURSELF..
It may Cause you More Harm than Good..
And It's perfectly AllRight if you Can Not Do It !!
No matter what Written in the Books or what Experts Proved in the Theory , Practical Life Does Not always go By Rulebooks..
Those Experts , those who Wrote the Books , are also Human...
It's not like that They Know Everything , or What they are saying that is the Ultimate Truth and there are No Other Truth Can Exist Outside Their Opinion !!!
May be , Sitting Idle in a Place , Closing Eyes and Breathing Heavily NOT THE ONLY WAY to reach to the Fulfillment of Meditation ...
May be , you will be able to Meditate Through your ACTION or REACTION , far Better way , something that Brings Comfort , Satisfaction , Happiness and Peace within you !!
Like , Reading Books , Listening Music , Painting Pictures , Doing House Chores , Repairing Machines , Teaching Children , Farming in the Land , Nursing Sick Patients ...
Or may be , just Riding your Bike in Morning Breeze under the Infinite Sky ....
May be , that's your way to Reach to the Fulfillment of Meditation ...
Follow your Feelings , your Conscience.. Don't Force anything that Does Not Feel Right..
No Books or Experts can Guide you Better than your Own Inner Self..
LIFE and TIME are the GREATEST TEACHERS OF ALL...
Oh !!
seems that I've just written an essay !!!!!! If you guys please xquse me for this kiddish act !!

Harbottle: I couldn't say, pedro, I've never experienced it.
from googleThe most important ways to achieve peace of mind involve being true to yourself, accepting that life is uncertain and watching your thinking. Many of us mentally “torture” ourselves daily with the things we tell ourselves.
Trust your thoughts less, pay less attention to the negative ones and focus on what you are thankful for in life, and you’ll be well on your way to inner peace of mind.

That sounds like good advice, pedro. The most important ways to achieve peace of mind involve being true to yourself, accepting that life is uncertain and watching your thinking. Many of us mentally “torture” ourselves daily with the things we tell ourselves.
