But really, you're just going to drive yourself insane if you keep thinking like that. So yeah, light one up and crank up the tunes. Cheers man... have a good one.zephyrinne Reviewed by zephyrinne on . Coping with this cruel world. First, you must understand yourself in this world--in order to build a paradigm of strategies to cope. Peace, must first come from within before it can project itself. Judging eyes--confused, frustrated, hateful--is all you. You've burdened this world, becoming a thinker for everyone. Rating: 5

Coping with this cruel world.
Meditation is the ongoing practice of focusing your mind/body/soul. If you arent a spiritual person i would suggest yoga. Same principals but it steers away from the spiritual aspects of meditation. For starters I would briefly go over the history and background of yoga. Start at this site http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/ Its a good start for reliable information, its not something you can use when you want and then drop it. Its something you have to take up as a habit and take the time to practice. It requires a deal of patience and most importantly a quiet place to practice. Like most things in life you get what you put into it. You really do benefit from it and you will be a better person for it. In the times we live in i believe it is important to meditate to get away from the ongoing chaos in the world today. If you have any questions dont be afraid to ask!

Coping with this cruel world.
I'm reading up on the fundamentals of meditation, as we speak. I believe religion is helpful and accomodating, so I do not mind one bit. I believe it's all brought together to relieve man from their thoughts and to give them to "God".
It seems as though what I've been through has leaded up to this practice. I understand what it's saying, because I've experienced it. I'm ready for a radical change in my life, like it says I'll experience if understanding is present. I appreciate your help, and yes, if any questions whatsoever arise, I'll be sure to ask.
Thanks again. If you're interested to see what I'm reading:

I have a question concerning your breathing during meditation. Do you concentrate on it? Every inhalation and exhalation should require your mind, but then that'd be defeating the meditation in itself, would it not?

Coping with this cruel world.
I think I've got it. You're naturally breathing to begin with (DUH), so the point of it is to become conciously aware, but of no thought and no force. Tada!
You're going to have thoughts through the meditation process, right?

Coping with this cruel world.
Do you think about your breathing regularly?? Like i said its something that takes practice and the breathing is a VERY important part. While learning the art you of course have to concentrate on it but after enough practice it will take less and less concentration and then finally become second nature to you. While learning it isnt self defeating as long as you are focused on the meditation. You will learn to achieve a balance. It seems confusing and while starting it can be frustrating but stay focused and you will be rewarded

Coping with this cruel world.
Yes you will have thoughts right now in the process, so dont think your doing something wrong. Eventually you will be able to drown out these thoughts and focus that energy inward. This is the start of the healing process.
