Dear Sir/Madam
You need a guru to teach you meditation. The techniques of meditation, I believe is never mentioned in any of those books. Please see some body to get the technique.

You will find many persons who have perfected these techniques living in US. Most of them will be from India. If you wish I shall recomend a few.

: Hal, in past posts you have mentioned a meditation experience as having made you feel better about yourself, life, everything. A private school for kids that teaches adult education classes will be offering an intro. to meditation next February/March (just a one night thing, but I know from other one-shot-deal classes, the teachers always give out their cards, and tell you how to indulge on an on-going basis). I'd like to give it a whirl. I've recently tried massage, yoga and flotation tank experience, but I have yet to try meditation in a classroom setting. I Did buy an audio tape and try to follow the directions on the tape--yoga position, breathing, etc. but I did not know what I was supposed to be getting out of the experience, to know if I was meditating properly. Do you always have to be sitting up when you do this or can you lay down on a sofa?

: Please enlighten on the "meditation experience." Thanks.

: P.S. Glad you made a new, off board friend in Karen.
