		<description>Hi Natasha,  

Thanks for writing!

Meditation is something that doesn&#039;t always make you think you are making progress. You might think no progress is being made, but if you&#039;re sitting 3-7 times per week - there IS progress being made.

Now, it doesn&#039;t really take years to reach a level of relaxation and peace in yourself. It shouldn&#039;t. Meditation is hard work - it&#039;s easy for the body... but for the mind it is tough. Training your attention to focus just on your breath -or whatever sense object you choose, is difficult. It&#039;s very hard to re-focus over and over and over on your breath each time your mind takes the attention somewhere else. But, that&#039;s what is necessary.

You need to control your mind... not let it run away to do whatever is more interesting. Training the mind to focus is really the biggest part of the first few months and maybe year of meditation.

Please download my free e-book here at the link on the top of this page. It is easy to follow and if you follow it exactly, you will make great gains in your practice... :) Keep trying!

&lt;em&gt;Best of life!&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Hi! I want to ask something about meditation.I hope you can answer me on my guestion.
Im person who was tree years in depression.So I started to medite and I was meditate 1 year.
I was feeling good and I move in another country and i stop with practising.I was meditating just when I was having free time like 2-3 times in a week.But I lost the great results.Im in big stress now so i started again .
Im meditate everyday almoust 2 months but I cant see results so much.
My guestion is when I can see results more clear and I want to meditate all my life.And I want to change a lot of thinks in me.
I hope I will do that with meditation.I dont belive so much in my self,when I started something I stoped after while.
What will happends after few years of meditation.Can I change my self?
Thanks Natasha</description>

		<description>Hi Mona, I&#039;m not sure why it didn&#039;t work for you - it works for me. Please go here: http://www.thaipulse.com/ebooks/meditation/index.htm

Copy and paste that into your browser. On that page will be a link for the e-book. Better to right click the file and save target or save file or save link - however your browser offers to save it, and save the file to your desktop so you can open later. If you LEFT click that link - you&#039;ll need to wait a long time while your browser downloads and tries to open the PDF file INSIDE your browser - not recommended.

Good luck! - Vern</description>
