I'm meditating today and I notice how the rainbow lines up perfeectly with the 7 chakras of the human body. Not just the color but the order too. Just kind of an interesting insight I never realized until today.

Any ideas why it's doing that? It's very cold and distinct feeling.

Hell to the yeah! lol. Splendid website too! Amazing information on that article. Explains what I'm going through I think. I jst had that again happen like 5 minutes ago. I was doing a 15 minte session and I felt it blow over and through my legs. It happens there a lot. Though I haven't felt the hot feeling yet. I think I've felt the cold feeling in my upper body too, now that I think about it. I usually meditate in a recliner though so when I have gotten cold I cover up with a blanket. I wonder if that traps the cold chi? I may just let it flow out next time. It's not like a shivering/chattering teeth cold in my experience. More like an air conditioned feeling. Except when I've felt it in my uppe body. Then it's cold. Thanks for introducing me to that website. Looks like a great place to learn about meditation.

It isn't a numb feeling. It's just a really cold blast throughout my legs. Like a wind. I can sometimes feel the chi in the bottom o my feet though too. As well as my hands. That's quite a different feeling from this. I feel it SO strongly in my hands at times. Mostly I'm jut obsrebving my thoughts lately. But I'll do other meditations and feel the same thing. It's like a wind that goes through my legs. Feels kind of good. Thank you for responding.

Women don't make the man. If you think all there is to life is women, and relationships then you need to suffer. That's a woman's mindset. You're feminine just for thinking that way. Your perspective is the epitome of suffering. Not life. Quit being emo, and do something. Invest in your life. Take a martial art. That will make you mentally strong as well as physically. Women don't like negative loser types of men. Can you blame them? You don't need to be stuck. Work on yourself and your personality until you are strong enough to be a real man. Earn the title. You'll appreciate it that much more.

Stig I seriously misjudged you. When I first read this I did not like it much. Especially since I had been one that had been ripped off by reading that book 'tao of pooh' bs and was headed in that direction with my practice of daoism. I learned nothing from that f'n book and all it seemed to teach was that its cool to be dumb like pooh. But now reading through all the discussion on this post alone I have learned more about daoism then I have in all the time I've studied it(I have however studied it pretty lightly though...lol).

I agree.

That question makes PERFECT sense(no sarcasm intended). The answer is in the question. Age IS a state of mind. When you're told you're 91 or any age, it is your mind and conditioning of that mind for that age that gives the rules made for that age. I really tried to overblow the analysis of this question lol. Thats all I could come up with though. Wednesday, thursday for friday and all 7 days of the week are all days of the same day but with a label making that day a day called a certain day with a name? True or False? EDIT: Figure that question out!

Wash your face with black soap twice a day. If you miss a day or once that day don't sweat it just continue the next time. That's how I improved my acne incredibly. Its a lot less now then where it was.Or pick something and just go with it until you see results. Also avoid touching or scratching or pinching pimples at all times. Don't pinch the smallest pimple or dying pimples. Not only will that scar your face. It lets out all that bacteria and just creates more pimples. This is how I took care of the MAJORITY of my acne problem. Also keep it simple. 5 different bottles of stuff for acne is wAy too complicated to maintain long term from my experience. Washing my face twice a day with black soap is by far the easiest way I've ever tried getting rid of it. Took care of most of it now. Just got a little now but even that is getting better.

Try it out and see how you like it. You can always stop if you don't like it. Personally I don't understand why people always get all militant against it. Some of my most memorable best experiences came from it.

Any Remedy? The last 5 times I've been trying to meditate I wind up getting a boner (My thoughts change suddenly over to that stuff) and its all downhill from there. Its so distracting I have had to completely stop the meditation 4 out of those 5 times.

I think both...idk...I will watch for what came first next time.

Practice relaxing, don't clench your fists (notice when heat is in your hands and practice cooling them with a cool surface) (making a hot pocket) and above all BE A BUM(best way to avoid sweating) EDIT: I used to have the same problem...idk if it went away or not but I think it did....

Better to be consistent than to bulk it. The reason is because calming your mind daily lowers your alpha waves to theta? Something like that. I started doing 30 minutes daily and I recently upped it to 45 minutes. I've been at 45 now for at least 2 weeks (probably more) but I've hit it consistently only missing like 3 days the whole period. Although I have on more then one occasion stopped before the 45 minutes was up. I don't want to up anymore because I know I wouldn't do well if it were any higher. I'm right at my limit. Find your limit that you feel you can do daily. There is no wrong meditation length. Just be consistent. If you miss a day just be easy with yourself and restart the next day. Keep it flowing smooth. If you think 20 minutes is too low up it to 30. Or if you really want to try for 90 minutes cut it into two sessions or even more sessions.

Today when I was meditating I suddenly saw this black hole shoot by my vision. It happened very fast. My eyes were closed and then I saw darkness and Deeperdarkness. This black hole not only that but it seemed to get bigger as it got closer. http://www.crystalinks.com/black_holes.html - The 2nd top picture is sort of what I saw if not almost exactly if you remove the purple color outside of the black hole. It was like darkness and then a ring of TOTAL darkness and it came towards me and expanded. It disapeared and then came back later. What was weird about it is when it came back something came out of it and then the black hole disapeared. It was like a really strange shape I couldn't describe. That was pretty much it. I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out what it could have meant. Closer to ending my session I got another really fast really pure visual of someone (like just as real as waking state) I can't remember seeing before but she looked familiar in some way. The weird thing was is she looked angry. She was really glaring at me or the space. Lol. At the same time she felt loving though. Anyways feedback of what it could have been? Meditation experiences of your own? This was really trippy. A nice change of pace from the usual meditation sessions though.

I smell a troll.

No, its fine. I didn't feel like it was an attack at all. I felt like you were just contributing your experience. No worries.

Well of course. I'm definitely not saying I hate all Christians(the ones that try to control my freewill in any way). The ones that go out of their way to control people and have a problem with anything that isn't about the bible. Role-playing games are witch craft in some of their eyes. My mom listened to their propaganda on the radio one time and I've had to hide my love of world of warcraft ever since. She bought me the game but now she thinks its witchcraft...lol. The moment they try to control your freewill they are not your friend.

Haha, thank you! I was hoping someone would like that comment statement.

Interesting, didn't look at all like a flower to me though. I think it might have been spinning I don't remember. To me it looked like a black hole and was moving towards me and got bigger and bigger. It honestly looked almost exactly like the 2nd picture in that link I posted. Except there was darkness and then the pitch darkness of a black hole.

Nice, I was looking around on the net after this happened and I think I saw that meditation. For me though it just appeared randomly (I was counting breaths and actually got pretty focused till it appeared)and it sort of scared the shit out of me when I first saw it. The rest of the time looking back on it I was pretty unfocused after it happened. All in all, pretty good session.

I completely disagree, I think it'd be interesting to know who funded that study(more then likely christians or some religious group). Oftentimes statistics and "facts" are just a way of manipulating people to thinking another way. Christians and other paths are no more "Morally correct" then atheism. 75% of people in prisons claim Christianity. Does that make all christian thinking evil or dangerous? With most practices people will practice what they want to practice, and delude themselves into believing they are practicing the rest. Example is how the Bible tells to "Judge not lest ye be judged." I asked some christians on a questions forum what they thought about this statement and some of the replies were complete bullshit. "Thats just a rule of thumb" "The bible doesn't say that" etc. If you've ever encountered a really "Religious" Christian you will know what I'm saying when I say "They are the spawn of satan without even realizing it. They are exactly what they are against." They are some of the darkest energies on this whole damn planet and history in europe is evidence of that. Example is how they can label someone from a peaceful religion like wicca as satanic worship without knowing a damn thing about it. I used to have to go to church (never will I go again)and remember these missionaries coming in talking about how this certain college campus where everyone practiced wicca and how they were trying to convert them because "They were wrong." At the time I didn't know anything about wicca. Fast forward a few years and I briefly practiced and studied wicca. I learned that what they were saying in the church was really ignorant. Wiccan's wouldn't worship the devil because that would bring that negative energy back to them(law of the three-fold return). Most don't even believe in the devil.

You could do a walking meditation in nature/city? There is a story that said Lao Tzu went for 3 hour walks in the morning.

I was meditating on less pride recently when a realization came to me that others truths are as important (sometimes even more important) to them as my own are to me. Like its one thing to just parrot those words. But to really understand that wars have been started because of others trying to force their own truths or beliefs onto others. Arguments and losses of friendships erupt when this lack of understanding occurs. I've noticed recently, in little disagreements of my own that something as silly as music, I almost felt obliged to correct the person for saying "Dumbest thing I ever heard." Like the song deteriorated the meaning for myself because he disliked the song...lol all an ego-trip. On this occasion, I actually caught myself though and I replied with a simple(while a bit painful)"Okay." Moved on. No argument and no hard feelings. We remained friends and there was no trouble. What are your thoughts and experience?

To them it is truth and therefore its as important to them as your own to you. You're looking at it from your perspective and not theirs. Who cares if they're doing rituals and spells and shit. Its their life. In the end if it really is bullshit to them they'll see they aren't getting anywhere they'll evolve their practices into something better. Anyways I get what you're saying. If someone believes something strongly enough, it then becomes truth for them. Respect it, its as important to them as your own to you. Someone from another perspective might think that what you're doing is a delusion. In fact I guarantee it. Christians have atheists and vice-versa(and so on...). Unless you have all the answers, I wouldn't call anyone's practice a delusion.
