Oh, by the way, could you advise some of his books? I've heard a lot about him, but can't figure out where to start
I also want to know about the sleep methods, because I am a terrible insomniac and I've been suffering from that problem for years now.

Most people think that you have to meditate in an upright position in order for a good meditation. And this might be true whenever you want to meditate during the day. However, if you try to meditate when lying in bed at night, you either have a good meditation or a good sleep or even both.
The Business of Meditation and Trading ...just ejaculate and sip on wine -- your world will be Bliss~ after,
http://www.scienceda...70628160734.htm THURSDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- There's no evidence that meditation eases health problems, according to an exhaustive review of the accumulated data by Canadian researchers. "There is an enormous amount of interest in using meditation as a form of therapy to cope with a variety of modern-day health problems, especially hypertension, stress and chronic pain, but the majority of evidence that seems to support this notion is anecdotal, or it comes from poor quality studies," concluded researchers Maria Ospina and Kenneth Bond of the University of Alberta/Capital Health Evidence-based Practice Centre, in Edmonton. They analyzed 813 studies focused on the impact of meditation on various conditions, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and substance abuse
traderbob: the problem is there are thousands of forms of meditation, and in the West, we only study what Asians are willing to let out of their knowledge base. And actually, there are specific meditation that are closely guarded. For instance, regarding substance abuse: there is actually one form of meditation that really works - including hard one like heroine abuse. But one need to spend in there at least one year, after a first usual "rehab" to be able to cope with this type of meditation.
The whole idea of trying to cure something or fix something by doing meditation is not meditation. The idea is to try to turn off monkey mind for a brief period of time. The mind loves problems, because without them it ceases to exist. And that is the central problem, not the things that your mind thinks are the problem. You don't have to look very far to see how insane society is. Just read some of the posts in this thread. But your mind cannot fix society, nor can it fix itself. Be careful with the idea of creating a new thing, and examine your motivations. Peace.
