At the end of a yoga session we go into savasana..a kind of deep meditative relaxation..I found it to be the best way for me to meditate because I am physically worn out, in tune with myself from the yoga practice.
I do TRY to meditate at other times..practice,practice,practice.I was just rerading Buddihsm and the 12 steps last night..he was saying when thoughts pop up you can label it "aversion" or "wanting/desire" and move on..tried it today..pretty cool
it's very difficult for most people I think..we are used to not being present, worrying about the future or thinking about the past..I have bad monkey mind..must be why this is step 11 and not 1!
