I just started meditating a couple days ago, and the results are already showing. I'm more peaceful, able to think myself out of loops with a lot more ease, and I'm paradoxically more relaxed and more energetic, and more "there" in the world, while still being able to immerse myself in my thoughts.

I do it in three parts, usually lasting about fifteen minutes each. The first part is emotional. I just sit still, close my eyes, and listen to music, focusing on following as much of it as I can so my mind doesn't wander. Eventually, I kind of get trapped inside and when I come out, everything looks different. The second part is sexual. I just sit still, no music on, and think about sexual experiences. The third is intellectual, where I ponder mostly Buddhist ideas.

I usually do one set of it in the morning after waking up or working out, and one at night before sleeping. I haven't done more than one set in a row, but I think I'll try that now.

This actually sounds quite enjoyable. Although I think I do this before I go to bed every night. I listen to ambient music, think about the girl I'm in love with and what philosophy I learned that day.

When I get in a rut I always contemplate nothingness (Alan Watts)

Also, this is a great song for meditation (2:30 is where it gets real good)

This is completely random but what vitamins do you guys take?

I just started taking vitamin B12 sublingual (ya know the one that gets absorbed under your tongue, it's more effective apparently) and I notice an immediate difference in my mood. My head/eyes feel less 'cloudy' if that means anything, I;m not zoning out as much.

I take a standard multivitamin every day, and twice a day I take fish oil and choline.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Cod Liver Oil. It's great for a ton of things but I think I have a similar problem (the not being focused). That could be a lacking of iron. CLO makes me feel less tired and more focused in general.

What a load of wank.

Men's multivitamin and a couple of viamin C tablets every morn and a Berocca if I've been drinking the night before.

Thanks, dude. Not sure what to do with that specific info but that site is great.

Just submitted my band's material to a whole bunch of webzines and blogs. I hope it gets a good reaction, or any reaction at all. This is definitely the best music I've ever taken part of in writing.

Good luck man!

Gummy multivitamin, extra Vitamin D cause the SAD sucks.

If all else fails, I'll give it another shot after we gig out of state a bit more.

Freud was a dumb-ass

i apparently forgot to quote the post i was responding to
making my words accidentally sound like a complete non-sequitur
