My story of meditation started last year. For the past year I have been extremely stressed out for
not doing as well in competetions as I wanted, not keeping the perfect grade in all of my classes,
plus my widowed mom started dating some guy. So I was running away from reality in meditation. Then
everything came back to normal and I just forgot about that period. I started getting all A's
again, we won the City Championships in Ultimate Frisbee and got the second place in the state, won
the regionals and the states in Science bowl, my ideas and suggestions for the sc...

Lower Back Once you start a regular practice of yoga, you will find that the lower-back pain that

I have been wanting to do meditation since I was in school, but really found it difficult to sit and
focus even for twenty minutes straight. I could only fancy the calmness and composure of this state
of meditation, but I couldn't go into myself. I just tend to get some nonsense thoughts if I
just force myself to sit silent with closed eyes for more than 5-10 minutes. Over the years,
I've been trying on and off and have been improving a little actually. However, in the meanwhile
I have started studying about spirituality and mysticism and found that there are man...

people tend to believe that it takes a lot of time to do meditations and visualization exercises.
and a lot of people will tend to shy away from meditation believing that since it is time-consuming,
they won't be able to allot enough time with already a very hectic schedule in our modern lives.
if you think that way, i encourage you to revise your own preconceptions about meditation as
time-consuming, since with J-A-M (or just-a-minute) program, you can indulge yourself in achieving
relaxation, concentration, visualization, meditation, silence, sharing and connectin...

Buddhism is the major religion here in Thailand and I am exposed to it every day. I see Buddhist
monks all over an I am very interested in their religion, I think it is beautiful. I see meditation
on TV and it seems very easy but I cannot sit down long enough to relax my thoughts. I am always
thinking of my next move. Does anyone have any tips on meditation? I would love to join a temple
here as a buddhist novice, but, alot of being a monk is meditation and I am affraid that I will
never understand it....

Hey there, well, this is something that is often overlooked as being something that doesn't
work. Similiar to the martial arts, unless you've tried it you tend to be sceptical, and you can
not describe how it feels unless you have actually taken part in it. Well, over the past year I
have been incredibly stressed ,and the past 7/10 weeks have been the worse. My parents have
seperated in a really nasty divorce, my final exam year has just started at school, I have personal
relationship issues and desires (I'm 15 by the way),I have a job that is very time...
