It has nothing to do with faith (at least for me) and it only makes me a better person because I can calm down from the hectic nature of my life. I don't spend any time thinking about nirvana or use aroma therapy I simply sit on the floor in the quiet and ponder some problem and try to gain a different perspective than the one I had at work or driving my car.<BR/><BR/>Meditation is hawked by budhists and new agers as something spiritual but I find it does the job just find with out the input of religiosity. I'll keep doing it and I'll keep doing yoga exercises because I am an old fart I need to stretch. I don't care that I have to listen to waves crashing onto the shore from a boom box and listen to all this karmic phrasing. I just do the stretches and in meditation and yoga a I am an unapologetic atheist proponent.<BR/><BR/>Mike StahlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-1153057460587811262006-07-16T09:44:00.000-04:002006-07-16T09:44:00.000-04:00But the difference between the two styles of medit...But the difference between the two styles of meditation is that, after method one, you can see clearly now, while, after method two, you go blind.kholstomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697435347813084443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-1153023432165910002006-07-16T00:17:00.000-04:002006-07-16T00:17:00.000-04:00Just a reminder to all the guys out there: Medita...Just a reminder to all the guys out there: Meditate in moderation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-1152937704094671592006-07-15T00:28:00.000-04:002006-07-15T00:28:00.000-04:00"Meditation is the practice of focusing the mind, ..."Meditation is the practice of focusing the mind, often formalized into a specific routine."
