Hey guys

I have been told I should meditate as a way to manage stress. So I was just wondering does anyone around here mediatate? If so how many times a day and how long do you do it for?

I do. But, because my mind is super active naturally and I'm just starting with it I'll only do it for 10-15mins a day. Sometimes more. But, I think even 5 minutes is better than nothing. It really helps with stress.

Thanks for replying. I have only started doing it myself. I am actually amazed at how elated I feel after meditating. Its a completely natural high!

I gave a 'meditation' session at a hippy centre on Eccy Road once. I though it would be a general non-denominational chillout thing, but they were NUTS. I seriously had no idea there was such a thing as a Buddhist hymn, let alone that we'd be expected to sing along to it.

I take it most places aren't that hardcore though.

I tried one of those meditate-at-home books but I have too little focus. I need to find a class somewhere with someone to stand over me shouting "DON'T THINK DON'T THINK DON'T THINK" etc. at me.
