I am in my first month of daily meditation "practice" and I'm already experiencing the benefits. The fears that I commented on yesterday are far less powerful than before and I have seen many other differences as well.

Thanks for sharing, Scott!

I dropped a pretty large sum of money to learn the meditation Lynch promotes. They have since lowered the price to about a third of what I paid. They did that about 6 months after I learnt it. The teaching is structured in a way that they keep trying to sell you more things after and while you learn it. Other practices. Advanced meditation (which basically means they give you the permission to do it as much as you like, instead of the 20 minutes twice a day they drum into your head that you cannot go over. My observation has been that it is no different than other forms of meditation. The real benefit is that with this one there is a principal involved. You do it twice a day for x amount of minutes and you do it everyday. You accept a discipline. Other than that, I don't believe the technique or result is any different than typical breathing meditation. I strongly believe the group who promote this practice have set it back by making it about money, when it should be just about the meditation, which is something everyone should be able to do regardless of what they can afford. They make out that it takes four lessons to learn. I learnt it on the first lesson and the next three lessons were spent watching videos of Yogi (I think that's his name) talking. This practice needs to be surgically removed from the bullshit people claiming ownership over it. They are very lucky to have David Lynch in their corner, he remains influential despite doing strange things like eating panties on youtube. WTF is up with that???
