Slacker!

At the rate I've been going the past week, it might take me years to do 100 meditations.

I've sampled a couple new podcasts, one of which I enjoyed but it's too much talking about meditating and methods to use rather than guided meditation. But the guy does have an accent.

Two nights ago I tried one on The Meditation Podcast called Transformational Breathing. They had all these warnings in the beginning like 'please consult a physician before trying this meditation' and 'you may experience intense emotions'. Bullshit. Or so I thought. The breathing technique was completely opposite of regular (or what I consider regular) meditation. It's a quick panting, fully exhaling every ounce of C02 before your body nearly forces itself to inhale again. I'm at a bit of a crossroads in my life right now, so naturally, I focused on that and related emotions I've been feeling. After five minutes of this breathing and thinking about my predicament, I all of a sudden had that pang in my stomach (they said physical discomfort is common) and I was crying. Apparently, there are many emotions we bury deep inside, but this type of breathing and meditating brings them to the surface, and we can then accept them, and if we're lucky, let go of them.
