Re: duration of meditation

I have just experienced something in my 20 minutes that is new to me. I used to have "peace of mind" I used to call it. That is the feeling that all is well. For the last 3-1/2 years I have had a lot of personal turmoil and peace of mind has been impossible to attain. About 15 minutes into...

Re: What New Year Resolutions have you started?

Meaning, less questions and more study. Since I am just a beginner I may not be able to practice ins...
