Meditation is great.  I also enjoy yoga.

I've tried it... and once I got past the first few minutes it became very relaxing.  That first few minutes, however, is what I call "the shiny object" period.  I get distracted by everything, including thoughts about what will distract me next.

Yup, nothing like a good quiet session of Hatha Yoga followed up by some meditation to loosen up the bowels.

I've tried it a few times. Each time, for the first five minutes, I was distracted a lot. Then it was very calming. And then I couldn't stay awake! My head kept on swaying.

LOL.


Here I was going to respond to this thread with something about "not getting involved in other peoples' disputes", when I realized after reading a couple of posts that it wasn't about mediating....  :lol:  :P

The eyes are usually the first thing to go Demo.

Funny you should mention that... my eyes pretty much went to hell by the time I was 10.

I'm getting Lasik surgery in a couple of weeks.

Hope you have good luck with it Demo.  My mom had it done several years ago and was quite satisfied with the results.  

I've considered it but in my trade if I weren't wearing glasses for the most part I'd have to wear safety glasses, while at work anyway.  

Oh and to bring this back on topic.  Nope I've never tried meditation.  I've always been the type who seldom lets stress get to me.  Even though the job I have is quite stressful for many who do it.  It's once in every other blue moon where I lose my temper or get irate.  At least that's the way I see it.   :lol:

I tried it once or twice but for some reason I didn't succeed at it till I had someone tell me that saying "ooohhhmmm" helps alot. So then when I was stressed the fuck out with the members of my family .. I ran around saying "ooohhmmmm" That only lasted so long. Now I have found blunts and I have forgotten why I was stressed. Come to think of it I have forgotten how to remember how to forget
