"and for you other mediators out there,
i have a question of my own i've been wanting to ask.

i often avoid meditating if i'm stressed out, or not feeling well or feeling 'negative' in any way. for some reason i feel it's wrong to go into a highly suggestible state while not already feeling positive. another part of me feels this is counter intuitive and that meditating regularly is more important than 'being in the zone' when meditating. what are your thoughts?

love and light!"

hi ewhaz

i do half an hour of hatha yoga everyday and use it as a form of meditation. because of the body/mind connection, i find it much easier to focus and i always feel refreshed and rejuvinated even if i've had a really bad day. i learned from the book [please email zephyr for book name and author]

after learning hatha yoga and practising it for about a month, i created a routine using my favourite asanas and incorporated a few more breathing techniques into it. so now the routine just flows and the meditation comes naturally moving into a deeper state with each asana.

my body feels so good after just that one half hour, that i don't want to miss doing it each day. i find it also gets my head into a better space - if i need to do that.

i recommend the book or one like it because it explains the meaning of each asana in symbols and metaphors which is a transformational meditation as well as physical movement/pose.

on days that i'm totally focused on the routine/meditation, i have had some rather enlightening revelations.

it works for me - it might work for others
