Samarth P asked:


Meditation is the mind training, train the mind to stop from wandering, train the mind to still, keep the mind prolong the stillness. The mind will meet the real happiness from that stillness and enjoy - enjoy - that inside happiness. The reality will be realized that the true happiness is the peacefull mind and can have it from inside not from outside. No need to make trouble to get happiness from any one, any community, any country. The peacefull mind of every one will bring the peace to the world.

Tony F asked:


I heard many doctors feel that the practice of meditation is good for a persons health. But the only thing I heard is that it relaxes the body so that the natural defences have a better opportunity to fend off viruses.

Every time I ask someone to explain meditation to me, their answer ends up sounding like the definition of “concentration”, except you close your eyes.

Looking for meditation/focus and breathing techniques to reduce heart rate and nervousness from stage fright?

September 24th, 2009

jake asked:


I often get terrible physical stagefright when doing assignments infront of class in college. I realized that always right before I present I can tell my heartrate is going through the roof to where I can barely talk and my hands shake violently. I think most of my problem with this is physical so if I did a meditation technique before class or something just before my presentation it would help. Any ideas?

What form of meditation produces the best results? A feeling of bliss?

September 18th, 2009
meditation
TheNoBullExpress asked:


Is it from a religion? A ‘guru’ ?
Do you have to pay to learn it?
Are the results fairly quick to notice or do they take months to recognize a true change of consciousness

Most importantly:
Have you practiced one yourself (or know someone who has) that their practice of this meditation brought upon a blissful state?
