Hello
Another newbie here, enjoying meditation. I suffer from somewhat crippling anxiety, depression and am the epitome of the word angry. I discovered this place on youtube after a bad day when I was just looking for something to calm me down.
I haven't done the CDs as much as I would like (I have a very noisy neighbor) and I don't think I have yet been in a "state of meditation." I find it very difficult to hold on to my mantra. The first few times I would always slip away to thinking about who I was angry at and all my hateful memories would come to the surface. Now I can maintain it a little better, but I find myself sometimes thinking "What's for lunch?"

But for a moment the other day I felt as if my feet had melted into the floor and I had become one with the chair...it was amazing.
I know I have miles to go before reaching the levels of some other people here ... and in all honesty I don't know if I can stick with it for that long ( I am not only an orchid but a bee that flits from flower to flower

)
All the same glad to meet everyone!!!
