Medetation

[ncole_91]

Hey all,

 

I am new to these forums and to Karate...

 

 

I was just wondering how many people meditate, for how long, what position (sitting, standing up, lying down), Why you meditate, where you meditate, when you meditate and any other information you can give me

 

Thank you,

 

Nicolas

I meditate in a prone position for about 7-8 hours a night, sometimes less because of work. I also drool when I meditate.

lol ken...i try to meditate 3 times a week for 10 to 20 minutes(i would do more but advanced placement classes have sooo much homework...). when i meditate the main thing i try to do is regulate my breathing. this helps clear your mind of all but the breathing. as far as position, i sit in the steriotypical mediation position with related arms lying over my crossed legs. sometimes i try planning out combinations of throws in my head, but usually i just relax and breathe deep. my breathing patterns are 5 second inhale, 10 second hold, and 5 second release. meditation is really good right after a hard ab or arm workout when your tired, it tends to be easier to clear my mind. really soft trance music playing doesn't hurt either...

 

good luck

What purpose does clearing a mind accomplish?

actuily, pretty much what i do, im an "insomniac" of sorts... so i spend a lot of "sleeping time" meditating.. its a uslessful thing to do when you cant sleep for hours...

I like to meditate just before I go to bed. As I am lying there waiting to fall asleep, I will focus my mind on one idea, and rid myself of any emotional attatchment to it, so that I can think clearly... as I begin to think clearly, I notice that's when my wife usually comes to bed and starts yelling at me about the honey-do list that I haven't gotten around to in weeks.... it's about this time that I emotionally detatch myself from my wife... that's when the dog (Basset Hound named Cooter) begins to yowl. His Native American nick-name is "Barks at Nothing", so that's when I get out of the bed to go yell at the dog... emotionlessly of course. Once the dog's barking, and my yelling at the dog has woken up the baby, without emotion, I tell my wife it's her turn to feed the baby, and that leaves me alone in bed where I can emotionlessly lie back down and begin to ponder what I was emotionlessly pondering in the first place. (Results may vary, please consult your doctor before trying to emotionlessly yell at a Basset Hound at midnight.)

 

 

 

Can "emotionlessly" be considered a grammatically correct adverb?

Hmmmm, I'll have to meditate about that.
