RE: Benefits of Creating a Special Spot for Meditating...
Definitely an upvote. Well done, meditation is the secret to a peaceful mind. I went to India to learn about it and meet some good teachers.

Ah! Very interesting that you went to India to learn about it. My husband too had gone to India to learn about it and he tells of the different teachers he came across then he went to Burma to study there.
What type of meditation did you learn?
Did you catch that bit about the new Mindful Life - a mediators meeting point in discord.
I mentioned it at the end of my post?
It's just starting up but there is some good exchanges going on even organizing meditation sessions to have together.
Discord About
Thanks for the link again, I will check out the Discord group. I trained with the Bhakti yoga school of thought, called Vaishnavism in India. The meditation involves japa - the practice of reciting a mantra repeatedly on a string of 108 beads, for two hours a day. It used to be done 8 hours a day in past generations but was diminished to accommodate us inexperienced westerners.
Interesting! It does seem that this generation would have a difficult time with devoting 8 hours of their day to meditation.
Hope to see you in the Mindful Life Community!
Many thanks.
