I used to do yoga for about 2 months last summer. I used to follow Adriene Mishlers youtube channel, it was really nice I must say but I haven't done yoga in almost a year now. Thanks for the reminder and here is the channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene/videos

Was just about to review the book but then I saw that you summed up more than I was going to. Thank you! Radical Honesty was like the best book I've read in months.

I would probably get a cabbin that is nearby a Zen monestary or anything similar to that. I would also buy a fucking Lamborghini (or 93 of them ) for the sake of looking retarded as fuck to drive between my little cabbin, the food market and the monestary.

Flying meditation. WEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEE!

Like not even sitting?

I do mostly Self Inquiry but I also do Shikantaza (do nothing) and kinhin (the walking meditation technique that is used in Zen).

Shit! I can't sit for even 10 minutes no matter if it's in a chair or cross legged without my feet starting to turn purple and blue. I have no idea wtf this is but it seems scary. I can only do walking meditation and I just tried lying meditation... Has this happened for anyone else? If you happen to know anything PLEASE let me know! It's the difference to being happy or suicidal depressed for me really. And yes I know it's okay if the nerves fall asleep if anyone wanted to say that but this isn't about THE NERVES it's about blood circulation.

Yeah for sure!

I did! The circulation did not cut off but I probably haven't ate enough food so thats why it's happened. The purple feet isn't dangerous and I've meditated like usual and my feet and legs actually feels better now. I have been walking now a little more and I'm comming back now!

This is most likely a more health related problem than a problem from just meditating and it's probably thrombosis, I'm going the the man in the white suit in about 3 hours to get myself checked out. I tried standing meditation and it got my knees turn blue in fucking 10 minutes so...

I called one today but there was no time for a meeting an probably won't be one in a week or so, I have really bad muscle pains right now and if they get worse I'll go to the fucking emergency again, hehe. Maybe it's a side effects of the antibiotics but who the hell knows! Thanks guys!

Yup! That's the whole irony with this whole life thing. Throw away your "life" with friends, family, entertainment, work and all of that to just sit and sit down for the rest of your life doing at all and you'll have the best time ever. I ask my mom if she wants to know what I will do with my life and if she ask what then I answer "NOTHING AT ALL"!

When I started meditating for over 4 hours per day I cried multiple times per day for about two-three months and it was like the best time of my life to be honest. It really means that you are getting a lot of shit out of your system and it's being replaced with freedom.

No. I only sit in quarter lotus for one or two sits and they are usually 30-45 minutes long but I plan on a gradual change. Oh thanks!

Wake up, take a walk while doing affirmations, shower, meditate for 1,5-2,5 hours, breakfast and off to go!

It's so fucking good! It crushed so many dreams of mine.

Self Inquiry in a nutshell!

Meditation if probably the best thing you could do.

I have quit most of the nonsense materialism but sometimes I really enjoy listening to music and I also watch Game of Chimpis once a week and then there is dark chocolate. Spending to much time on the web is probably my biggest addiction. I try to limit my time below 2 hours/day.

Meditation, reading and spening time in nature instead of chimping around so much.

Wake up, take a short walk and then shower. DO NOT eat breakfast before your sit. Sitting with sharp mind in the morning with a hungry stomach just pures the shit out of your mind.

An autobiography by a man in his 30's who decided to leave his girlfriend and his job to become a monk at Eiheiji. Eiheiji is one of the oldest Soto Zen temple in the world and was founded by Dogen. This book gives you a 1st person view of what it looks like there, and it is not as chill as you think... Beeing a Zen monk is one thing but beeing a Zen monk at Eiheiji is a compleatly different thing!

Give it a try! The book can be a good source of inspiration but maybe it will scare you away from Eiheiji.

So I've been doing walking meditation for a few weeks now, experimenting with a few techniques and I have to say that it feels amazing. ESPECIALLY when you walk slowly! I've tried the technique they use in Theravada walking meditation technique, Kinhin (Zen) and I've come up with my own little technique and it goes something like this: Breathe in when you put your right foot down, breathe out the next time you put the right foot down. Simultaneously I count from 1 to 10 with my out breath. From my own experience I would not recomend anyone to replace sitting with walking meditation but adding walking meditation to your current sitting meditation. Personaly I replaced my regular walks with slow walking meditation and it really makes a difference. What has your experience with walking meditation been like? What technique are you using?
