I should practice it more often myself.

(I feel so ignorant as I write this post) Anyways, my point is I have never really had any desire to pray (the bible belt way) so meditation calls to me and I am beginning to research it and hopefully begin to practice it soon!

Not so much these days, these days I tend to reserve the tricks for when I'm under extreme duress. Like went I went temporarily blind :-) Instead of freaking out I meditated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Yoga I also used to do heavy breathing exercises while meditating that have really helped keep my asthma in check over the years.

Who is the author? Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:29:07 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/5556#comment_15975 http://www.indy.com/posts/5556#comment_15975 yogifred Yes, I practice a form of prayer/meditation. I have studied many different religions in my 'quest for the truth,' and respect and love Jesus as much as Buddah. My search has led me to a more scientific belief system involving views from modern quantum physics along the lines of the best selling book, The Secret, which studies the laws of the universe, or God's laws, if you will.
