Your Spritual Practise

You may as well ask me how big my anal dildo is.
Answer..I don't have an anal dildo.

You of all people I thought would have a drawerful. I am so disappointed!

I have to concur with the doktor.

"annihilation in one another." That is to say, to forget the feelings of one's own carnal soul, and live in one's mind with my friends virtues and feelings.. This is the one of the way for spiritual practise for me...

"annihilation in one another." That is to say, to forget the feelings of my own carnal soul, and live in my mind with my friends virtues and feelings.. yes it is so delicious way for me as spiritual practise ...

every day I sit facing a wall and watch my experience very carefully.

I started Yoga about 10 years ago-- I did it because I needed the rest. I have a fair amount of anxiety. Yoga really works, although it's not magic, I'm still stuck with all my quirks and limitations. I don't get into the new agey part of it. I find that part to be silly.

Gaia, I appreciate your balance. Yoga, zen, and many other spiritual practices DO work, but what they do is much more subtle than the expectations of New Age enthusiasts

Interesting contributions so far. Thanks guys/gals

Keep 'em coming...

I meditate - 20 minutes everyday. I'm no expert - I just know to concentrate on my breathing and watch my thoughts. Very relaxing.

I joined Yoga classes about a month ago. very invigorating.

Re: Your Spritual Practise
Well I do spritz my pits to keep down my potent man-scent, else I would have altogether too many woman crowding after my well-muscled stature.

JL, I agree with you completely. Thanks. It's been rough lately, so I got up extra early and did some extra Yoga. A large part of the nuance of practicing is it brings into sharper focus what is necessary and what is worth overlooking. Breathing, I tell you, it's so basic...

I sit in my corner chair, listen to music chosen for tuning out, look out over the woods, watch the squirrels, deer, birds, raccoons and assorted other creatures, notice the changing seasons, and breathe.

I'm a Deist (<--note the misspelling). I'm like a cynical athiest just waiting to be disappointed when God does actually exist.

My spiritual practise is more of the James-Dean-rebel-without-a-cause type; I tend to question every authority.

Thanks for the replies. It's getting me thinking about my own.
As of now, I just try to spend at least 15 min. sitting quietly. Baby-meditation.
And I like to read inspirational/religious writings.

Mainly, walking outside in the woods and relaxing in nature. Very helpful for me.

I just read an interview with The Dalai Lama and he talks about his meditation practice-- he says his mind gets distracted and all these thoughts arise, anger, fear, jealousy. Thought I'd tell you so you'll know you're in good company.

For as far back as I can recall my daily routine has involved continuously asking The Guy Upstairs for help and to saying thanks at various intervals throughout the day. We have an odd relationship as was evidenced yesterday morning when I was in something of a rush and I started screaming and carrying on about how mean spirited and vengeful He is and how I don't appreciate such a warped sense of humor...especially at my expense. Later on I had to apologize.

My religious background has contributed to my spiritual being; however, the spiritual center has always been with me...even during the lowest bottoms of my drinking. Hard to explain just why, it just is and that's good enough for me.

Nothing that I do on a regular basis. But if I can I like to sit on some rocks next to the river, watch and listened to the water running by. I love to watch the ocean - but I live in Central Europe...

And some Reiki from time to time.

The Dalai Lama is a cool guy. I'd love the opportunity to have tea with him or something. He seems to exude so much joy and peace. I like his writings too.

Sturgis: I really like that. At one point, I was envious of folks who had that relationship...strong enough that it carries ya through the deepest bowels of life. Far as I'm concerned, anything that works for you and is able to withstand the test of life, is gold.

urs53, I'm a big fan of water too. I gravitate towards it: even a bath or sauna or pool or hotub....the water itself soothes me. Someone once said I am trying to return to the 'primordial womb' . lol. I don't know about that but being near water is peaceful.

It's odd how for the first time in my life, I truly feel there is a 'higher power'. I have no clue what to call it...but it's a wonderful stabilizer when I can connect to it...even if it just means I am clearing my head!
