How do I do zen meditation by myself in my home?
I used to do it in a zen center, but I can’t really afford to drive back and forth to a zen center. Can I just sit zazen on my couch or what? I have a Buddha and incense, should I make an alter or what?

If you are going to say something involving how I should go to jesus or something, please just don’t answer.

Meditation is easy for me. I grew up with visualization, body scans, guided meditation, counting, breathing, naming thoughts (probably what he needs most) and more. I just don’t know where to start with my son. Any suggestions on teaching or introducing meditation to a teenager? Books? Courses? Videos? Where to start with good old dad? Thank you.

I’ve already got the title Meditation Made Simple, which goes into different healing light visualizations and breathing exercises. I also have Lifescapes Guided Meditation, which is more of what I’m looking for right now. They have actual scenarios that they go through while you visualize them (one where it takes you through a rainforest, another where you lay out in the moonlight, and even one where you float in the ocean).

Does anyone know of any other similar types of CD’s out there?

Do the different styles invoke different feelings or effects?

How useful is meditation before a workout and exercise ?
Lets say before a very vigorous workout, If I meditate and free my mind. Will be able to control the pain better when exercising. For example, I do the horse stance. (Martial arts stance). I can sit in it for 5 minutes. If I meditate before I do those kind of exercises, will I have the mental strength to do more.
Thank you

Charming Sociopath asked:


I’ve heard that meditation and visualization can help cure problematic things within the body. Every time i try to meditate instead of visualizing what i want i visualize what i’m afraid of and what i have. Its uncontrollable. I try to calm my mind and do a self-hypnosis if you will to clear my mind completely and visualize positively but my thoughts seem to be contradictive and sparatic even during meditation. Can anyone give me any advice on how to meditate/visualize properly and positively?
