FW: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here

2008-03-31 Thread Merrill Burghardt
Seems through the many types of meditation that all roades lead to Rome.  In
rehab I went through 6 months with an acclaimed instructor.  To this day I
use meditation on diverse occasions.  It is a good skill on practical levels
but I'll leave nirvana to the super gurus.

Exactly, what does a Mediation Instructor do?  I mean, what do you mediate?

 

 

 

Well, Naomi, that's a rather large question. A meditation instructor would
guide their students through a journey of a thought process. I would teach
different techniques of meditation, there are around 20 different types.
Basically, it's about relaxing the body, mind and sprit. You would
concentrate on the here and now called mindfulness. It has helped me
better control my pain level by thinking it away. If your not receptive to
this way of thinking, than this may sound like a bunch of horse crap. The
mind is extremely powerful when used the correct way. A person can worry
them selves sick and in the same respect a person can calm them selves
down.

If your still interested, let me know and I'll go into more detail. Or
you can get a book from the library Meditation for Beginners and check it
out for yourself.

Re: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here

2008-03-31 Thread John S.
There is no trick to the use of meditation. The fact is people can't think 
about two things at one time. Many people can concentrate to a degree that pain 
signals coming into the brain can be reassigned to stimulate pleasant thoughts 
and emotions. I meditate every day for at least twenty minutes. It isn't going 
to help in all situations. It can be the bridge for many people to help them 
adjust and accept their limitations while overcoming or dealing with 
limitations they place on themselves.
It sounds too simple to be true. It works for me. 
I hope Bobbie has a great time sharing it with people in the group. Some of us 
could use help in the areas of stress and self image.
Don't be afraid to learn about it. She might just have what you need.

best to all of you.
john

Hi Bobbie!

I just rejoined, too!  Can you give us all online meditation sessions?  Might 
be a cure now that online activity can be considered a mental illess... right?

Best!

After reading some of the confusion, maybe I can help? The word isn't 
mediation, it is meditation.
I think it is great that anyone is exploring this.
