meditation

[theotherguy7]

Today's meditation was good. At one point I had to wait for the washing machine to drain as I have plumbing issues (see howard's very wet day.) Instead of just waiting with frustration. I sat upon the washing machine and was. very cool experience. I felt the cluttered state of the room was a way to accept that at times my mind was cluttered.

I use the firefox add on 'stumble' You list interests then it takes you to different pages within those categories on a random basis. If you want you can have it learn your preferences so that the pages you go to have a greater 'success' rate. this lead me to a Buddhist mediation course. I am finding it helpful.

please to be clarifying - meditation or mediation? and i wasn't asking so much for info in how you found the course, as i was about what the course entails.

A course on meditation; as in a form of prayer, contemplation. as in practising to be fully present 'now', instead of reacting to the past, or worrying about the future. The only thoughts that change things are the thoughts we think 'now'. Reactive thoughts tend to be associated with fear. (about identity or circumstances and are mediocre in strength)When we practise 'presence' or 'mindfulness' we are powerful in change. Does this clarify enough or to much?
