Re: Chi Kung, Nei Kung practice

I've practiced Xing Yi Nei Gong daily for over 8 years now. Unlike Tai Chi, it can be learned from a book. It takes about 20 minutes to do the set. I'm rarely ill, and my flexibility and strength is better than it was when I was in my twenties. (I'm in my forties now) http://www.amazon.com/Xing-Nei-...

Re: The Dhamma Wheel Meditation Challenge

Trying very hard to maintain 20-30 minutes daily of Anapanasati while in full lotus. I may dedicate one day per week to metta meditation as I think it's something I need to work on. Then again, the focus of my meditations may change as I get to grips with Ven. Analyo's Sattipathana Sutta book. :jug...

Re: What position do you use for sitting meditation.....

Full lotus.
I also must be flexible as I've never had any trouble assuming this position. I only get pain when coming out of the position (dead legs/feet).
