when i sit with my back unsupported, such as in a position like crossed legs(indian style) or lotus position, my lower(usually) back begins hurting within several minutes. this is obviousley a big distraction from my meditation practice, but i really like the idea of using this position for meditation. specifically, what is causing this or what can i do to fix it?

I notice that once you get “in the zone” you feel similar to meditation. For example in basketball.

AllBuzzedUp asked:


At the beginning of the third meditation, Descartes argues he can trust his clear and distinct perceptions. Explain this argument. Also explain why Descartes argument for the existence of God is not circular. You help would be greatly appreciated

meditation?

December 19th, 2009
meditation
Alice asked:


okay, I am trying to connect more with the spiritual world and other things. Meditation is good for this as well as finding inner peace and things like that. Some things I have read told me to meditate for half an hour every day, but every time I try, I end up getting bored long before the half hour is up. I enjoy meditation as it calms me down, but I have a lot of trouble just concentrating on nothing or my breating. Does anyone have any advice for my meditation?

Also, does anyone have any tips on astral projection? I’ve tried but haven’t gotten very far with it. Has anyone achieved it and if so, what did you do?

Veni, vidi, excessi!

What are some good guided meditation and creative visualization cd’s out there?

December 8th, 2009
meditation
justmeish asked:


I’ve already got the title Meditation Made Simple, which goes into different healing light visualizations and breathing exercises. I also have Lifescapes Guided Meditation, which is more of what I’m looking for right now. They have actual scenarios that they go through while you visualize them (one where it takes you through a rainforest, another where you lay out in the moonlight, and even one where you float in the ocean).

Does anyone know of any other similar types of CD’s out there?

What is hindu mediation like, and is it very different from Buddhist meditation?

December 5th, 2009
meditation
Sisyphus asked:


Buddhist meditation is based on anatta (no-self, that there’s no such thing as a real ‘you’, which rules out the possibility of having a soul), anicca (nothing is permanent, which rules out the existence of an eternal god), and dhukkha (nothing is permanently satisfactory, except nirvana).

Is this in conflict with hinduism? What do hindus meditate on?
