The benefits of meditation

[shoe]

So, I would just like to share a little success story with you guys.
I am studying toward a degree in computing science, XML, XSLT, Assembly, Java, Information Systems, etc.
Plus a good deal of psychology to help further my understanding of the mind, and hopefully help with research
into artificial intelligence!

So, It's gone really fast so far, its allready semester II week 7 so, only 4 weeks and four more semesters to go.
luckilly we get huge long holidays.

Anyway, Lately, I've really been feeling under the strain of it all the workload just seemed so heavy.
I am quite convinced that the only reason I 'caught myself in the act' of revising with no limit - just revising and
revising with no end in sight, was because today I WAS MEDITATING. not only meditating mind you, but
reaching for awareness while in the meditative state, practicing mindfulness, the cornerstone of bhuddism. Observing
myself and my thoughts, merely observing, only noticing.

I'd given the whole meditation thing a little break, because I had come to the conclusion that it wasn't helping to be
ommm'd out the whole time, and I found myself doing it every waking moment.
(I sometimes practice walking meditation when I am on my way around and about) so, then when I returned to it,
I found that I became aware of this "studying with no end in sight" and resorted to return to LITTLE AND OFTEN!!

Now I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, like I have even more time to do the things I love and that there is
even less pressure!

(I set out to be the best student I could be, to help others achieve this too, and net a high ranking degree so that I
would never have to return to university again, and so that I could make myself proud and wear it on my sleve for the
rest of my life.)

I just wanted to share this with you guys, because I love the nexus to bits, and now that i've solved this little one, I am
sure to return to my work with the spice, giving advice and tending the nexus as I was before. Im sure some of you may
have noticed that I wasn't my usual self. I hope so anyway.

Namasté everyone

Meditation is much more subtle than ayahuasca or DMT, but when you practice it on a daily basis, it's long term results are just as dramatic.

We are just beginning to realize the scope of it's effects, here in the west.

BTW, i wouldn't be surprised if a week of constant meditation and doing nothing else, would have a cleansing effect equal to that of one ayahuasca session.

Meditation is amazing. Above is a lazy man's way to stay on the ball.
It uses scientifically calibrated sounds to simulate meditative states in the brain.


WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!!!

Actually meditation is something normal.
Being the watcher, act but don't act
Being silent, while your outer self is expressing itself in the world.

That is the meditative state of being, and you can be that way all the time.

No special time to take your mind on a meditation.
You can be the watcher in every moment!

That is true awareness

Meditation is amazing, opening the third eye chakra can "take you places"

as an update: I blew off a huge load of stress today, just plain stopped worrying about it. I realised I was actually stressing about how I meditated, when or how much and so-on.

Stop fretting! just trust that everything will be allright, that everything is on-course (it is!) and save yourself the worry! Try it! it feels wonnnnnnnnnderful. (oh yeah, also, you have to stop worrying that you're worrying. you have to stop stressing about you stressing.)

Too much stress is the #1 cause of the manifestation of disease and discomfort. I like the guy from the video 'the secret''s approach: dis-ease... thats a body thats not at ease, and he's absoloutely right. you need to relax, relax, relax more. don't worry that your not relaxing enough either, just do your best. free your mind.
