Stefanie asked:


I’ve noticed that in meditation retreats and courses eg. vipassana in western countries there are almost always more women signed up than men. Usually women’s waiting lists are longer and they are filled up first than men’s places. Is this a trend, or do women want to meditate more, or why is this?

Tim Tim Timothy! asked:


I’ve practiced Meditation for a while, and I’m really interested to learn in detail about Taoist meditation and traditions, since Lao Tse’s words have always rung true to me. I looked around a bit for Taoist meditation books, but none seemed that appealing to me. Does anyone know a good book I could read about the methods and the spiritual insights of Taoism and how they apply in modern life? I am looking for something less theoretical and more practical.

asked:


I am an extremely anxious person by nature, and I feel that if I don’t learn a natural and healthy way to control my nerves, not only will I live in a shell my whole life, but potentially go to the grave earlier.

Can anyone recommend me a meditation book that will knock my socks off?
