Well, you see, I am never sure...
I am somewhat afraid to claim
these "memories" for my own
when I still refer to myself as a
"practicing Buddhist." I don't
know... I just don't want to be a
hypocrite or a liar... -[Haruko]I think I get it. Maybe.
*lol* don't worry your pretty little
head about it... (I mean that with
no hint of an insult towards you.)
-[Haruko]worry is pointless 'Tis true 3nodding I have recently began to understand the teachings of the Buddha and metitated on mere words. It has begun to calm my mind and body.
Intriguing... I like to meditate to one specific color...
I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but I am
extremely color-oriented and which ever color best
matches my emotions for that day, that is usually what
color I see when I close my eyes... ('tis difficult to
meditate when they are open - I cannot truly see)
Like, if I have been sad all day, I will tend to see
everything in varying shades of blue... and my goal
is to ponder upon the reason for this blue state until
it turns white... most times I can clear my thoughts
and go white, but sometimes I just turn red... which
is my color for anger...
I know it is not exactly Buddhist to get so angry at
the world, but I have been through a lot in my life
that I still cannot forget... but this is part of the reason
why I am Buddhist... I would like to learn how to
be calm and peaceful, even when my surroundings
are so terrible.
Anger, for so many years, has been my escape, but
I am trying to change that so I can be a happier and
healthier person... -[Haruko]

this may be a slight bit off-topic, but I read an article where they tested the brain waves of Buddhists meditating on good thoughts and the gamma waves from their brains were easy to see, strong. Usually they are weak and barely visible. Also the left Prefrontal Cortex--postive emotions area in the brain--was activated. This lead scientist to believe that compassion could be worked like a muscle! here i the link to the article, if you would like to read it

That's wonderful! What was it like, may I ask? -[Haruko]Well, I was down by the river, so the sound of rushing water soothed my spirit. a gentle breeze brushed against me and i felt like i was soaring calmly overhead, up to the sky if you meant something else about what it was like, im srry, plz elaborate
