I practiced these 2 methods again today. Whatever else I may do in the day, and whatever other practices I have, I still try to do these every day.

Thank you for that. I actually know several poeple who are quite interested in Odin, and this ancient religion. The only thing I had read about it, was a website talking about a possible link to the lost civilization of Atlantis.

And again today!

Has anyone tried the methods in the OP? I've done them both already today. They seem basic, and simple....but they are fundamental and effective.

I don't think it's really my place to judge other people's paths, but I find these subjects, like history, ancient culture, prophecy etc. fascinating Could you tell me more, like a basic introduction, to what the religion of Eddan is? I'm not familiar with it

....and that's the bottom line.

I believe you are the physcial outgrowth of your philosophies and spiritual beliefs. Yes, be an embodiment of what you want to be. If you live a balanced life in harmony with the universe, full of energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm, then respect, admiration, and attraction, should come to you naturally.

Project energy, poise, charisma, personality, fun, excitement, power, control, and intelligence. Show her you are awesome, and by default so must Taoism be.

I can only speak from my own experience and in general terms, everyone is different. I just know that a lot of people spend so much time obsessing, and having trouble releasing tension, when the tension is coming from the mind, and they need to relax the mind. Tense and release methods, sometimes they can be effective. If anyone wants to try the methods in the OP, they do not include tensing and releasing, and I would not recommend using any tension.

Yeah I will make a thread about more physical methods in the future. I'm not convinced that is the problem. I think the problem is in your mind. Relax, soften, passify the mind in Silence. Be patient, and actually do it. Make progress consistently and gradually.

Yes modern science has found many things about meditation, and one is that it can affect and alter brain waves. Very deep states of Silence are indeed desirable. However, I would add to potentially be wary of losing awareness too much. There should always be a clear, bright, awareness within the silence or emptyness. Too much mantra, or too much hypnosis can dull the mind. Always be careful not to get too lost into a trance or go into a sleep state.

That is definitely the best way to practice. To get completely into it, in complete harmony with the environment. I would add though, that if you became very skilled, you could enter states of Relaxation and Silence even in a noisy room. That is definitely one way of looking at it. Another way to look at Silence perhaps could be, that it is a deeper level, a deeper state, of mental and physical Relaxation.

That's an interesting idea and possibility

I must have misunderstood quite what you meant by "nice" and "acceptable"

Or military.....or entertainment....

Street Science: How Meditation Enhances Attention Here is a documentary I found about scientific research on meditation. Although it is limited in it's scope IMO, it can still be very interesting to see science studying the effects of meditation.

Haha yeah, a lot of people probably assumed he did a ton of meditation.

Ah, that's too bad. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any other version other than the official CBC version. Well, at least you have Dan Rathers!
