If you mean mentally, then see below, but if you mean physically then change how your sitting. There's no rule that says you must be in pain. (Havi's written about this too, if you want a more experienced view on it.)<BR/><BR/>If you want to try out Shiva Nata for free (which totally makes meditation a breeze) then go to youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDIEqvLj018) and just try to follow along with the video. It's very fast (the DVD takes it slower and everything) but just keep trying to follow. Once it all goes horribly wrong a couple of times try meditating then!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23033784.post-70896235373643085892009-02-07T16:08:00.000-05:002009-02-07T16:08:00.000-05:00James - I actually had to give my analytical mind ...James - I actually had to give my analytical mind some sort of target to achieve in an effort to allow me to even consider medictating in the first place. <BR/><BR/>It may take a while for me to get to the "sit for as long as feels comfortable" because none of it feels comfortable for longer than a few seconds.<BR/><BR/>As far as Shiva Nata goes, I'm pondering (and already secretly saving to get the starter kit which means also saving to get a DVD player - yeah I know seriously, I don't have a DVD player on my computer either :) ).Minnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824247261998957865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23033784.post-14397606517933173292009-02-05T13:51:00.000-05:002009-02-05T13:51:00.000-05:00If you're struggling to keep still for as long as ...If you're struggling to keep still for as long as you want when medictating (love that!) I'd suggest two things:<BR/><BR/>1) Don't worry about. Just sit for as long as feels comfortable.<BR/>2) Try Shiva Nata! It rules!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
