I think this makes sense if you have done and enjoyed yoga. When you practice, you focus on that sort of calm & energized self-awareness. I can see this leading to successful meditation. Although, of course, I stop at yoga.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098200472079606315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-60074371689034240592008-11-21T09:47:00.000-05:002008-11-21T09:47:00.000-05:00Beach Bum - Yah.

The goal is not to quiet the chatter; at least not on the outset. You just follow where your mind takes you, follow it until you feel like you feel after you've hit "post" on your blog. You feel like you've got nothing left to say, nothing left to think. Just sit there, breathe, let everything flow and don't concentrate on stopping it. Just see where your internal dialogue leads.Miss Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831133768123027451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-79867560902743940742008-11-20T18:37:00.000-05:002008-11-20T18:37:00.000-05:00Ah ha!

I remember my college boyfriend once in a while would say he was thinking about nothing, and I'd go "really, like, nothing at all?" "nope, nothing, my mind is blank" and he was being completely honest. Me? I'm never NOT thinking something.Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240402370974755543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-83693251606891552302008-11-20T17:12:00.000-05:002008-11-20T17:12:00.000-05:00J - I like your train of though.

White noise is an even mix across the audio spectrum... or at least that's what I vaguely remember from physics class years ago.<BR/><BR/>As for the internal chatter... I know the feeling. I almost always have an internal conversation or two going on. The only time I can remember where I haven't has been when I've been so depressed that my entire internal conversation is focused on being depressed. :-\vvkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734548705832479139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-48519169681741159622008-11-20T14:12:00.000-05:002008-11-20T14:12:00.000-05:00I like pickle juice.I like pickle juice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-28029278284884876032008-11-20T13:44:00.000-05:002008-11-20T13:44:00.000-05:00Every now and then when B or I says an incredible ...Every now and then when B or I says an incredible non sequitur, we'll stop and trace our mental steps back out loud to see how we got there.
