dont meditate!!

... i was gonna say...

I never new how powerful I was till the first time I closed my eyes.

Nice! and bump!

I've been practicing meditation for over 20 years now and finished a ten day and a two week silent meditation.

AMAZING RESULTS!!

Lol exactly!

Don't breathe!

Don't search!

Don't eat!

Don't think!

Nice!

Did you do this at home, or go somewhere?

Any experiences you can share?

I attended a Vipassanna retreat center in IL.

They are all over the world and I would highly recommend them.

The experience is wonderful and the knowledge gained is staggering. Just Google Vipassanna meditation and find the center near you.

They operate on a "Donation Only" basis; so everybody can afford it! You just have to apply and commit.

Here's a link - [link to www.dhamma.org]

You wanna share concrete results? Or this is just a spam commercial?

No...nothing.

ha ha ha!

I can't give you what you probably consider "concrete" results, because I'm relatively sure we don't consider the same things concrete... and if you scoff at that, go ahead, you're entitled.

However, I have never met anyone who has not claimed beneficial results from meditation. I repeat... NO ONE!

To recant my personal experiences would be useless and I don't feel any desire to convince you. I only wanted to echo the sentiments of the OP, not create debate with anyone.

My only suggestion is:

Try it... and if you don't appreciate the results, don't do it again. However, if you want results... do it again... and then again.

My experience is peace. Limited at first, but now everlasting and I know who I am. Your experience may be different, but rest assured, like playing the lottery; you can't win if you don't play and if you don't win the first time...

You may say - you don't have peace! you don't know who you are!

I say - Okay. :)

lol, yeah. I just hit another level today.

:) it's sweet isn't it!

At first yes, but then I went for a walk and I could still hear the new chanting noise in my head - never heard before. My pineal was vibrating and wiggle and making a drum noise with some other-worldy chanting. I assume it's the fabric or the ether singing to me.

I think I aborted that session too soon as it was a transition I needed to break through but didn't. Now the machine elves left an echo :P

Progressive -l(:

wow... keep it up!

Oh ...missed Two krumbles for Simpson.

Sweet ...

Save this state .. ?

I don't think a beginner should do a vipassana retreat.

Just be, do little get much done.

Ah,I thought the same thing! But I was surprised to learn, at the end when we could all talk to each other, how many people who made it to the end had never meditated before!

chop wood, carry water

but of course dont meditate in order to achieve anything. haha sorry i had to trick you into clicking on this

I can see you've read the Tao!

I know someone that did that, left early and couldn't sleep for a couple of years.

Before or after Enlightenment?

OMG really? I would say that at least half of the guys (I only spoke to the men) I was with didn't. I was amazed by this though.
