This is by no means the only method of meditation!
About 3 months ago I gave people instructions on the extro list on how to do
Energized Meditation (EM), which not only allows you to become very focused
and aware, but intensely relaxed in deep areas of the body. The purpose of EM
is to relax areas of the body that have been locked in tension for years.
Anders, did you ever try EM after I published the instructions?

Yes! There have been several methods developed for learning meditation. The
key is RELAXATION. Studies have show that the more relaxed you are, the more
your capacity for learning (most types) is.
