Water Room

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I stumbled upon this very cool “meditation room”. The sounds and visuals of water are great to meditate with. I find it so useful to meditate with music or sounds.

Earth Day: Meditation in Nature

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."

Shit Happens

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

I’m sorry but today sucked…at least for me. Without

Yes, while not nearly as good as the real deal, it still can help enduce peace and tranquility. Focus deeply enough on it and in your mind, it may as well be real.
 
A perfect example of stillness.

What is Meditation?

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

To many people, meditation is some kind of impractical and/or esoteric ritual in which a person sits, closes their eyes and perhaps chants “OM" for hours. While this is an effective type of meditation, it does not give a clear understanding of what meditation actually is.   
Meditation is simply the act of concentrating. You don’t [...]
