Quote from themickey:
Me thinks many people who go on and on about meditation are FOS!
Mumbo jumbo crap!
It's the road back to BS religion, superstition, old wives tales, wishful thinking, time wasting exercises with little benefits.
Just turn off the bloody TV PERMANENT, turn off all crap which brainwashes including chanting BS and just live your life uncomplicated without too much noise.
Any ritualistic mind programming which includes listening to pulput sermons, TV, chanting, gurus, etc, is dangerous imo.
Go to bed early and get a good night's sleep, the mind can then relax and unravel what ever issues you have.
That's my interpretation of getting the brain in good working order.
PS: Keep off drugs! Even too much coffee can alter your moods.
Moderation in everything.
Peace.
