Dear Mike,
This is such a great wealth of information you have shared with us all. Thank you very much! I know I will certainly be returning to your to your posting many times as I go through this journey into meditation. After having Shinzen Young's "Break Through Pain" CD sitting on my bed side table for the past couple of years I've decided it's time to dust it off and just do it.
Your comments about the your current state of health have me quite concerned.

Then there was a TIA 10 days ago that put me in the hospital on a 24 hour stroke watch . . . .

How are you feeling now after this? Are the doctors able to give you any indication what is wrong? I really do hope that you are able to get to the bottom of this. Please take good care of yourself.
Dear Diana,
Thank you very much for the sharing your wonderful tips. I think it will help me to relax further into the process. I tend to worry too much that I'm not doing things right, let my mind wander and before you know it I'm back up and moving around again. I wish I could just be still in the moment but it really is hard for me. I just need to focus on the breath as you said and that will draw me back and put me on the right channel.
The Dalai Lama has been here for the past few days participating in a Peace summit. He was also the guest editor for the weekend paper. I could not attend any of the talks or events but I have been moved and inspired from afar just reading about it . Today he spoke to a crowd of 16,000 youths all gathered to celebrate "We Day" What a great idea!
Quote:
VANCOUVER - While the 20th century was a time a great time for human invention, it was also a century that saw violence and bloodshed, the Dali Lama said at We Day Tuesday, calling it a "sad century."
"So therefore this century, the 21st century should be the century of peace," he said, before thousands of young people at GM Place. "So therefore world peace, genuine world peace, must come through inner peace."
He told the crowd they are the people who could make this a century of compassion.
"That should be our aim."
"Let us make this whole world full of smiles," he added.
"We have to make first inner peace on the basis of compassion.... We need infinite compassion, infinite affection."
