Anything can become a form of meditation. Running in particular, with its repetitive motion over an extended period and the rhythm of breathing that goes with it, can be an excellent form. Enjoy the peace it brings you. Hi Ricardo,

Anything can become a form of meditation. Running in particular, with its repetitive motion over an extended period and the rhythm of breathing that goes with it, can be an excellent form. Enjoy the peace it brings you.

However not long enough to have really experienced anything effective (or so I think). What I do find a lot of joy in though is exercise (running in particular). It's always brought me just the right amount of peace. I will admit that I’ve actually tried breathing exercises on a few occasions.

Books are good for explaining technique, but most of the one's I've read were short on details of the sensations you may experience, so when they happen, you don't know if they're normal, or if you're strange in some way. The practical details are sometimes lacking. :) Come visit sometime when you make it out. I may not consciously remember meeting you, but I would appreciate the experience. Jesse,

I have been using meditation to try to produce an out of body experience, only sort of modified since I lay down in bed when I do this ( I just find it more comfortable that way) so far I have been able to produce vibrations for the past three nights in a row but I wasnt sure exactly what they were, two nights ago I actually began to go cataleptic although the experience surprised me so much that I almost immediatly fell back to those normal vibrations. I have not yet been able to return to that state but now I am prepared for what to do next upon reaching that point the next time thanks to your articles, hopefully I will be able to achieve an oobe soon! thanks again I appreciate it, Jesse C Hi, I just thought I’d let you know that this article gave me alot of insight into the experiences I have been attempting to produce.

Thank you. I was amazed by how farflung the participants were. I appreciate all the pictures you posted for those of us who weren't able to be there when the children received their afghans. It gave us a sense of what it was like. I'm up for another project! We CAN and we did, Shelly. Thank you. I was amazed by how farflung the participants were.
