Taming the Bull — The Buddhist Meditation Tips
In many Buddhist teachings the bull is the most common metaphor to the mind, as lots of time and effort are required to tame a bull. It is a very thoughtful and appropriate metaphor, as one who wants to tame and control his/her own mind needs to invest lots of time and effort to get its control.

Meditation, Yoga, And Me
I often tend to be a bit of a Type A person, with checklists, spreadsheets, and things of that nature. This is not the kind of person I want to be, nor does my life lend itself well to that kind of personality. I’m raising kids, who are free-spirited and spontaneous, working for myself which means working unconventional hours at times, and in a relationship with someone who loves taking spur-of-the-moment trips.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF TAI CHI
If you have ever spent any time in a big city park, you may have noticed a large group of people of varying ages, moving in slow and synchronized movements. These movements are beautiful and interesting; almost like a dance. Would you be surprised to find out that it is a martial art? This ancient martial art is called Tai Chi, and it has been practiced in Asian countries for centuries. Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion”, but the actual translation is “breath work”. Because it emphasizes breathing deeply while moving in a continuous flow. The mystery that is Tai Chi was started in Taoist and Buddhist monasteries, where the monks would practice it daily; before they started their chores. Over time, it has come to the United States, and it is now being practiced in parks, gyms, recreation centers, and homes.

Doing Meditation Wrong
If there’s a wrong way to do things, that’s the way I’m going every single time. Without fail. When I get off the subway, nine times out of ten, I turn in the wrong direction. I seldom know the answers to nearly anything I’m asked even if it’s “how are you?” That one always throws me. I never ask the right questions at job interviews, you know the insightful ones that the recruiters want to hear? I have zero retirement savings and I only brush my teeth at bedtime. I don’t floss.

Life in two Directions
There is simultaneously no difference and every difference between the world outside your head and the goings-on of your mental life. I don't mean this in some nebulous, everything-is-one sort of way. While that experience of oneness is revealing, this particular train of thought isn't about our relationship to reality; it's about our daily interactions with reality.

My “Kundalini Awakening” Wasn’t “mystical”! It was a Neurological Experience!!!!! No Woo Woo Needed!
The most psychedelic thing that ever happened to me was during a group meditation. My wife and I were invited to a Deeksha Giving session in Eugene, Oregon in 2007. I had been a sort of an off Soto Zen guy for years, but at the time I didn’t know much about Kundalini, Shaktipad, or Deeksha, as it was called in this case.
