I used to worry, before I got sick, but I don't any more. I meditate because I like the way I feel when I do, and how I feel afterwards, and because it is supposed to speed my 'spiritual development'. > I used to meditate a lot, till I figured out that it wasn't something I > had to "do".

Now you have really lost me.... If you are worrying you certainly aren't meditating. By meditating I mean entering a state of consciousness in which the internal dialogue ceases. There are various devices, techniques and tricks we can use to get into that state of consciousness. I think of meditation as getting the horse to stop. > Now, worrying is more like a sport.

Meditation can help to break that habit. That's how it seems to me anyway. A friend of mine once told me he didn't ever worry. He told me that sometimes he had long discussions with himself that went round and round in circles, in which he told himself about all sorts of terrible things that might happen to him in the future, but he didn't worry. When I explained that the technical term for what he was doing was 'worrying' he was quite surprised. > I know many a couple who argue bitterly over nothing just so they can make > up. > Ode Maybe they should learn better state management, so they can leave out the bitter arguing and go straight for the passion!
