    Hello, dizz36. What do you enjoy about life? For me, travel is best remedy. Of course, the above also - is not my choice (only alcohol), I enjoy.

    Meditation is any form of a family of practices in which practitioners train their minds or self-induce a mode of consciousness to realize some benefit.

    Be like the pond. The pond reflects the bird as it flies over. The pond lets go of the reflection as soon as the bird flies past. It does not follow the bird or hold onto the reflection.

    This worked for me once when I was having a particular thought that was very persistent. Sit up straight, feet on the floor, etc; move only your eyes up and to the right. Hold this for 5 minutes. It was successful for me. There is a whole science behind this eye position stuff. I need to learn more about it. I just ask my naturopathic chiropractor friend when I need help.

    You've got to research on meditational positions. Once you find one that is accepting for your body you can learn to concentrate on keeping your posture. Thoughts will be lost and you'll zone right on in.
    There's no point however, in meditating in a position that'll hurt your back.
    I find for instance that laying in bed and raising my arms to the ceiling and letting my wrists relax to be extremely comfortable. I look silly but it works.

    If you're the one thinking then who is the one listening to your thoughts?

    Good morning,

    oh this picture! it's constantly flooding my naughty mind now ;). Anyways, raising the arms to the ceiling sounds strenuous. How long can you do this?

    Regards

    Good morning,

    split personality? One half is thinking loud, the other half is listening. Think more quiet, damn bastard ;).

    You look familiar. Is a warm welcome back appropriate?

    Regards
    Gyro

    what is the matter with thinking???? if you are relaxed then thinking can be very relaxing. but if you wanna increase your mental focus level then exercise and/or play sports. like tennis for example you must focus very much making you pay attention very much to what is going on in the game rather than thinking or focusing your attention else where. that is why so many people play sports because it is a intense focus activity. after finishing a focus activity you feel relaxed and calm.

    oh and if smoking weed speed up your thinking process then I think you should quit smoking weed if you dislike thinking and wanna calm your mind. the relax chemical you are looking for is running/exercise/sports/bike riding. this exercising will allow you to be able to meditate
