What's happinin pub? I haven't started one of these in a while. Just got done taking a shower after doing 30 minutes meditation. About to eat some cereal and kick it out in the garden. Think it'll be coffee for me this morning instead of tea as I feel more tired than usual. Gotta work today. Thinking I might go to a kirtan in Santa Monica tonight. I LOVE singing kirtan!

What are you, my sisters and brothers up to on this fine day?

Cool bro glad someone made one cuz I was lonely. I just chanted Hare Krishna in the shower , drank chamomile tea, took magnesium, snuggled my purring cat who sat on my shoulders for half an hour and downed 3 tsp of kratom in greek yogurt (tons of protein). Now I am going to drink a coffee and smoke a joint, then work out, then meditate.

My pay is late though so that is no bueno, but I will be patient like yoda.

:highfive:

WE ARE ALL ALIVE TODAY!

CELEBRATE

what i normally do is just put my headphones on, listen to some really peaceful relaxing music, usually ambient type of stuff.


then i'll lay down in a comfortable space, and just bit by bit try to relax each muscle in my body. also breathing in to the count of 7 exhaling to the count of 3. then once i feel relaxed i just try to quiet my mind and just relax i guess.


meditation is really great. something that can help keep me more balanced! i need to make time for it!


have you ever meditated before? if so, whats your process?

Three good methods:

Buddhist:

Sit in lotus position with hands folded in lap, back of one hand resting on open palm of the other, tips of thumbs touching evenly.

Inhale through the nose eyes closed, focusing on the sensation of air entering the nostril openings, while thinking "I am breathing in" or just "in". Hold for a moment then exhale through the nose focusing on the sensation of air exiting the nostril openings while thinking "I am breathing out" or just "out".

This is called annapannasati and is the method used by the Buddha himself under the Bodhi tree to attain enlightenment.

Hindu:

1. Sit in lotus position. Procure a mala (a prayer necklace with 108 regular beads and one larger master bead). Rest the hands on the knees, tips of index fingers touching thumbs. Hold the first bead between the fingers of the right hand. Chant "OM" long, loud and vibrated for a full exhalation. Take a deep inhalation. Repeat and move another bead through your fingers. Thus chant 108 times OM. You will feel the large bead and know you are finished when you have progressed through the mala.

2. Find an icon, statue or painting of krishna. Sit in lotus position. Gaze at the icon of krishna while chanting aloud "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare".

This is the maha mantra (supreme mantra) and according to the vedas (the authoritative sacred texts of hindu religion) it is the surest way to salvation in this present kali yuga (the dark age of suffering we are currently in).

If you wish you can use the mala and chant the maha mantra 108 times.

HARE KRISHNA!

Hopefully I can get some bud after.

Does need to be any particular position ime.
I just sit in comfy pose, usually half lotus and observe thoughts or focus on breath, just counting it in mind. Both methods worked for me.
When observing thoughts, don't follow thoughts, cause they will only lead to other thoughts and will never end. Or you could follow to the source of thoughts,
when source is found then mind will be peaceful.

Sit in any comfortable position such as cross legged, half lotus, zazen (kneeling) or upright sitting in a chair (throne) or even lying flat on the back (wand).

However lotus is the ideal most desirable pose, followed by half lotus, followed by cross legged (zazen is equal to lotus if in zen tradition).

But just sit anyway you can. Its just that lotus is the most stable position.

Dont worry about it though! cross legged is totally fine.

However, if you can not sit in lotus I highly recommend beginning yoga (hatha/asana yoga). I recommend this for everyone regardless but if you cant sit in lotus, take yoga and by the end of the year chances are you can.

Again though dont fret, just get comfortable and the important thing is try not to change position or move unless absolutely necessary during the course of your meditation.

Hey dude, if you are being exposed to radiation, I highly recommend ingesting spirulina, chlorella, miso, rosemary tea and cilantro afterwards.

:thumbup:

They all help reduce the negative effects of radiation, for real.

well, those seem like good options, the only thing is that i can't really do those, because i can't meditate properly int he lotus position. i've got bad posture and i get too distracted by trying to sit with good posture etc.

to be honest thats why i just prefer to lay down. but i might try those three methods, but just with laying down. i think the main thing is to focus on the breathing,






also, in relation to pink floyd, heres an epic live performance by some chick with an amazing voice....


Great Gig In The Sky - Australian Pink Floyd.




also, i've had CT scans and MRI's before, its nothign to worry about. all you hear is just random clicking noises and stuff. they even play music into the tube for you while the machine is working.

kind of fitting that people are discussing meditation, get your astral plane on in the CT scan lololol
