Meditation and trading

  1. I'm kind of a scientific evidence guy, and I have yet to see any that prove the benefits of meditation. It's an archaic practice IMO. People still pump it up because they seek easy routes to self-improvement. It's 100x harder to diet and exercise properly. The obesity epidemic in most developed nations is clear evidence of this

  2. No offense, but this line of thinking will most likely get you nowhere in the business of trading

    They're not mutually exclusive. To this trader, meditation is the hardest. I have tried sitting still for 15 minutes and just watching whatever pops into my head. It's impossible. All I get is "Its time to mow the lawn ". You would think your brain could wait. But it can't. That's the whole point. You would think it's easier to clear your thoughts, but it's really not. People who meditate on a regular basis are very courageous people. Trust me.

    You see, if I try to promote this, it's totally against, the whole deal of meditation. I would just ask you to try to keep an open mind. If you cannot or don't want to I'm OK with that, and I don't mean to be patronizing by saying that.

    If I said , "Be still, and know that I am God." Would you recognize that?

  7. Please don't think I am ignorant, or closed-minded, but i'm going to put you on ignore. Your last three posts accurately fit my definition of nonsense. I wish you a good life and death

    I guess my next question would be, " How did this guy end up in this thread. "
