I love walking meditation as well as candle gazing. I use the mantra "i am peaceful" when my mind is over active and I want to be still. In balance, Shann I enjoyed your post.

By breath meditation, do you mean just following the breath? I think that's the easiest. Yesterday I promised myself I would meditate when I got home, and then I "forgot." Tonight is yoga, so we'll be doing some meditation whether I want to or not. Thanks for the advice. :-) Sorry I accidentally sent too many messages.

I'm not sure if you have read some of my previous posts regarding his method of healing. In case you have not been following up on the comments to these posts, I have been receiving a few testimonials of those who have actually contacted him and managed to heal themselves very quickly. His email address is at Frederic-USA [at] bellsouth.net. Alright, you know what...I am going to email you in just a second, so that you don't miss my response here.

I gave up as soon as I started. Like you and many others, my mind was just too busy. Also, I was unwilling to sit down for what appeared to be an unproductive use of my time. I think it came together for me when I started committing to my self development. I used EFT intensively and found that I could let go of many of my negative emotions. I became more calm. Then, when I tried to meditate, I was able to get pretty amazing results quickly. As described to Stacey, when my thoughts fly off, I just bring them back. I try not to judge myself that I have not done a good sitting, etc. Initially, I start by watching my thoughts and then I gradually give them up to be in the Now - the present moment. The moments of bliss are really profound, out of this world. No words can describe them. But I know that I have barely experienced what else there is. I can't say that for now, every sitting is a good one. But every session to me is a practice. I believe that I will get better results from my meditation one day. Still, I am mindful that I have to practice no attachment or expectation there. I guess I am sharing with you all the above to encourage you to just do it. What is there to lose anyway? If you make a commitment and take action, I can almost guarantee that you will find much peace and happiness. My preference is to practice breath meditation, which to many is probably the hardest (and yet the easiest). I prefer not to rely on external aids like chanting, using music, etc. but to go to the heart of the process to gaining insight. Blessings for the New Year to you!! Evelyn Dot,

I tell you what - I've been doing lots of "sending loving-kindness to each of our body parts" lately, or to some of them. I've had a lot of intense pain from teeth and sinuses, and have been using all sorts of energy methods to try shifting it, with only moderate success. (I also damaged my toe, yesterday.) It got to "what the hell is going on!" I was thinking of writing to you or Jenny M - it's getting better now, after 10 days. I love everything you have said about meditation - I don't actually practise it in a structured way - but I do think I let myself slip into a meditative state quite often. Cheers - suffering Robin Hi Evelyn – Happy New Year!

I would love to read about the different kinds of meditation (unless there are too many to list). I never heard of sweeping meditation. It sounds good. PS – Belated Happy New Year!
