I like mantras and staring at incense sticks. Why something so tedious sounding should in fact be so interesting is one of the great mysteries of the world.
I guess its to do with the mind switching off and inner power taking over.
Do you believe in psychic attack? I felt that I was under it in Singapore once. I played some mantras and it went.
Sure, it could just be all in my mind, I know. But that's the great fun of 3D existence. None of has a clue what's really going on.

I never got into mantras. But, I agree, shutting off the mind for a little while is bliss.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
I never used to like them but they're a quick route to inner silence. The old tried and tested methods can be the best.
So how do you switch off your mind if you don't use mantras, Egg? I know there are many techniques.

You have to warren the equals sign and the related part.

I just meditate by following my breath. Once you turn off the mind a bit - or quiet it - you realize how much it colors your entire life and how it never really shuts the hell up!Cockslap Buddha wrote:Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Jesus! You just saying that made my head hurt. HA! Actually, for some reason, I've barely paid that guy any attention. Probably a very good thing.Cockslap Buddha wrote:Yes, it's annoying... Kind of like having SSCC CR RR RR EEAMMMM permenantly wired into your crown chakra.

Yeh I didn't read him much either.
I think the current solution's good. Two boards... Amkon for the craziness, and log on here when you want a quiet chat. Like a secret room in the back of a pub.
