I also have a hour-long commute each direction. I spend that time (mainly because I'm sitting in traffic & not moving very fast) in prayer, meditation & recharging. Gotta use what opportunities I have when I find them. Listening to classical or praise music also helps me unwind during that period.

there are many many kinds of meditation. i'm doing pure concentration meditation, designed to quieten and clear the mind so that i can use it to look deeply, to see what's going on in my mind, and develop mindfulness & insgight. its a difficult form of meditation @ the beginning, but it's well worth becoming competent in. it forms an ideal foundation for further practice in the future, and it's also very conducive to a happy, stable life in the present.\nchoose a suitable place in your home where you can practice meditation uninterrupted. it needs to be quiet, not too bright, and out of sight of other people.\nonce you found the spot, find a good firm cushion, so that you can sit cross-legged, having something to cushion your ankle.\nto start, sit down on your cushion, sitting towards the front of it so that your body is sloped very slightly forward. experience will show you the optimum position. fold your legs so that your knees & ankles are touching the floor. the important thing is to have a good straight back & reasonably comfortable legs, so that your pgysicaly energy isn't blocked. place your 2 hands in your lap, palms up, one on top of the other.\nonce sitting there, wriggle a little bit to find an effortlessly comfortable position for your back & arms. you don't want to feel tension anywhere. then you can begin.\ntake a breath, hold it for a moment, then let it out gently. pause for a moment, then take the next breath. again hold it for a moment, and let it out again. do this for 10 breaths. once you've got the rhythmn, start to count your breaths. a breath is a complete cycle-- in, hold, out, hold- and most meditators find it better to count towards the end of a cycle rather than @ the beginning. in other words, you are counting complete breaths. simply count 1 to 10 in this way. when you've reached 10, start again. if your mind wanders and you lost the count, start again from one.\ndo this for 10mins @ a time for a week or so. when you are ready, increase your sitting time to 20mins. you can do it anytime, but most people do it regularly @ the beginning of the day & @ the end of the day.\nthis is all there is to it, and @ first you'll wonder why on earth you are doing it. your mind will wander, you'll probably feel twitchy, and you'll be bored. but persevere. ther's absolutely nothing better than this for calming the mins & opening mental doors that you never knew were there.\nwhat comes after this? once you've got to a stage where you can follow your breaths effortlessly, so that you can say, 10-20mins, and not lose count even once, you'll be ready for the next stage. in this, you start to observe the contents of your mind. you'll still be using the method of following your nreaths, but now, beacause of the concentration you've already developed, you'll be able to add in a new activity. it's not possible to do this until you've gained control of your mind.

I read this in a meditation book a few years ago: "Meditating for 5 minutes a day is better than reading a thousand books." Books are great but I've found meditation, as suggested by the quote, to be a great supplement. The 5 minutes part is what I like- that's doable for me. \n\nHere's how I do it: I sit up straight and breathe in and out throught my nose (my mouth is closed the entire time) for 5 minutes while listening only to my breathing. It works.

I would like to bring to your attention a new concept in ADD testing. An objective physiological measure of ADHD has been elusive. However, research has shown that when an ADD person tries to sit still, do a boring task, or concentrate- they actually enter stress as measured by electro dermal activity. Measuring electron flow in a circuit the body operates largely by a series of electrical impulses which have been shown to follow certain pathways and measure changes in the electrical resistance or the ability of the tissue to conduct electricity. This marker is positive in the majority of ADD clients tested. Then GSR biofeedback may be used to improve the stress result. A protocol using this valid objective physiological marker has just been published in a video- "Guide for GSR Biofeedback Techniques for the Natural ADHD Practitioner".\n\n\n\nhttp://www.opednews.com/articles/life_a_jasonmar_060608_new_concept_in_testi.htm\n\nPod-cast interviews \nhttp://www.theadhdspecialist.com/gsraudio.html\n\nhttp://www.theadhdspecialist.com/gsraudio2.html\n\nResources/ books videos- published on helping ADHD naturally\n\n Screening test concept for ADHD with GSR biofeedback techniques \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9659025149/

Meditation... Towards a Stress Free Life \n \n\nMeditation: What it is !!!  \nAn ordinary person may consider meditation as a worship or prayer. But it is not so. Meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. "Watching your breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation.\n\nMeditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation means 'to join together or to yoke' . It describes a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns . The observer (one who is doing meditation) realizes that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one.\n\nA Tibetan Lama was being monitored on a brain scan machine by a scientist wishing to test physiological functions during deep meditation. The scientist said - "Very good Sir. The machine shows that you are able to go very deep in brain relaxation, and that validates your meditation". "No", said the Lama, "This (pointing to his brain) validates the machine!".\n\nThese days it is commonly understood to mean some form of spiritual practice where one sits down with eyes closed and empties the mind to attain inner peace, relaxation or even an experience of God. Some people use the term as "my gardening is my meditation" or for jogging or art or music, hence creating confusion or misunderstanding.\n\nThe word meditation, is derived from two Latin words : meditari(to think, to dwell upon, to exercise the mind) and mederi (to heal). Its Sanskrit derivation 'medha' means wisdom.\n\nMany years ago meditation was considered something just not meant for modern people, but now it has become very popular with all types of people. Published scientific and medical evidence has proved its benefits, but it still needs to be much understood.\n\nTraditionally, the classical yoga texts, describe that to attain true states of meditation one must go through several stages. After the necessary preparation of personal and social code, physical position, breath control, and relaxation come the more advanced stages of concentration, contemplation, and then ultimately absorption. But that does not mean that one must perfect any one stage before moving onto the next. The Integral yoga approach is simultaneous application of a little of all stages together.\n\nCommonly today, people can mean any one of these stages when they refer to the term meditation. Some schools only teach concentration techniques, some relaxation, and others teach free form contemplative activities like just sitting and awaiting absorption. Some call it meditation without giving credence to yoga for fear of being branded 'eastern'. But yoga is not something eastern or western as it is universal in its approach and application.\n\nWith regular practice of a balanced series of techniques, the energy of the body and mind can be liberated and the quality of consciousness can be expanded. This is not a subjective claim but is now being investigated by the scientists and being shown by an empirical fact.

It doesn't hurt to be inquisitive on Yahoo Answers and get sources of information for stuff you are doing for your engineering homework.  As long as you aren't posting questions directly from your homework and as long as you actually use this as simply a starting point for your research, keep up the good work.\n\nAs far as Electrical Engineering stuff.  I have found what I needed a few times from Google.com and Wikipedia.  However, that is a difficult course and I would recommend tutoring or study groups if you are struggeling.  \n\nGood Luck.

On a lighter note...I would love to be able to answer your question, but this computer keeps hanging!!!\n\nSorry, but I couldn't resist that one! On a more serious note, there is no doubt in my mind that very little is truly understood about the electrical and / or magnetic effects of some people. I must confess that I do not suffer from such experiences, however I do know people who do.\n\nFinally, just imagine all the people who are trying to reply to you but they can't get close enough to a computer!

Personally, I like the policeman comment, but okay.  Try this approach--if you were the budisatha (bodhisattva?), and if I were to humbly walk up to you, then which two eyes would you see my approach with?\n\nIf you see something, you see something; but if you're examining eyes--you're an optometrist!  \n\nWhich two eyes are right? The two eyes the bodhisattva sees out of, of course!  How do you know which two he sees out of?  You must be the bodhisattva, of course!  How does one become the bodhisattva...?  \n\nA good start is, when seeing--see, when sitting--sit, do in the moment only that which is "of" the moment (not that you could do anything else, but it never hurts to try)...and all other things resolve themselves.  It is in that moment of resolution where appear: The two eyes of the bodhisattva!\n\nNote:  If you notice their appearance--they will vanish before your eyes (bad)!  That is, unless, you have truly noticed their appearance, in which case they will truly vanish before your eyes (good).\n\n-S

during meditation, there might be some little problems such as you said, muscular spasms, altered sensation, changes in your body image all can cause a problem like you have had.\nanyway, to be at the safe side , you'd better to check your heart too.\nmeditation is a very good tool for a nice life, but you must do it under the supervision of your teacher,because sometimes you may experience some problems that can not be solved by scientific knowledge , only a meditation expert can solve these problems.\ngood luck!
