Namaste! (We in East say Namaste as a greeting. namaste means "I honor the divinity you are")
This is Shant from Nepal. I have been practicing meditation for the past 1 and 1/2 years in order to prepare myself for Kriya Yoga. I have hypertension. My BP was obstinate enough to stick to 170/110. Following the docs advice, I've started taking one pill a day. I'm 100% positive that some day it'll get down to normal healthy levels through daily practice of my meditation.
I accidently discovered the website while surfing on the net. Loved the LifeFlow Demo. Used LifeFlow 10 (Thanks to Mr. Mackenzie for his generosity) to speed up my meditation. Last week I used it for the first time and was (am) fully satisfied. I had out-of-body experience! It lasted for about 10 secs.
I have to say something about the Discover Meditation though:
1. The 5-20 mins Timer is a nice concept but it would have been even better if the voice in the beginning would not be there.
2. The other disturbing thing is the ringing of bells to inform the Meditator about the end of time. For the novices it wouldn't be a problem. However for long time meditators who can go deep quickly the sound can be jarring to the nerves. Instead of jingling bells the mild sound (something like the tinkling in LifeFlow 10) would have been pleasurable to the ears.
2. And finally about the pronounciation of the Mantra: Is it Shir-am or Sri-Ram? We should not forget that Mantras are very powerful tools. Whatever Mantra we chose we must be careful enough to pronounce it correctly.
Love and peace to you all
