winter’s tears asked:


I’ve learned how to meditate, but are there other things you can do with meditation? Can you answer some question about your true inner self or something?

katie asked:


After I do yoga I feel really good. Music sounds better, food tastes better, I am altogether a kinder and happier person. I have discussed this with others and I am not alone. Does anyone have a reason for or explanation for this?

landon0179 asked:


I am so depressed right now, I need something positive to cheer me up and help me remain compassionate. I want to learn to meditate, I checked with the Buddha learning center today and it cost $60 for a session! I didn’t pay, of course, i want to see if there are any alternatives.

Anyone know of any good websites that offer free meditation?
