read some more guys. 1) medatation wont effect you at all for at least a year, more like two , and that from meditating every day. (however it will help you relax and de stress) 2) there are 100s of ways of meditating (and none of them help your spelling), but here is how to start in my unproffecional opinion:: sit down cross legged in a quiet place, outside or in an open room with windows open. keep your back perectly straight, and head up. Close your eyes and breeth in, breath out slowly but deeply so your stomach comes right out. in your head say 'breath in, breath out' slowly. (breath in and out via your nose) feel the air come in your nostrals, down your windpipe and fell your lungs expanding to the max, and feel the air come out again, feel the oxigen going into your blood (oxigen purifies the blood). what you have to do is concentrate on your breathing, any thoughts that come into your head, gently push them to one side, (dont get frustrated when you think about stuff that happened that day, or what your doing tomorrow, just concentrate on the breathing again, its hard, but keep doing it for a better you) after doing this every night for a long while, you can do this without any thoughts going into your head for 1 hour. this is stage one complete. at this stage your legs will also me much more flexible from sitting crossed legged, you will be able to apply this medatation to all aspects of your life to conentarte on one thing, ie. your opponenet. from here you can start to learn to control your mind and body.... there are many benifits from doing this. we all should from there you can do it with your eyes open and conentrate on one thing, eg a plant. maybe one you planted as a seed and watch it grow each day. once you can watch the plant for ages without thining of something else or gettign distrated by sound or movement, close your eyes and picture it in your head, you should be able to at this point see it like your eyes were open, if your loose sight open your eyes to see it agian.... its goes on and on, untill you get enlightened.
