Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 What may help with your depression is getting alone in a room and sitting quietly for a half hour and not thinking of anything. If something does come into your mind don't address it. Let it come in and go out. Concentrate your mind on your breathing- your navel area for the duration. You will be pleasantly surprised at the difference this continued exercise will have. You can sit in a chair or on the floor. If you would like more information check out this site http://www.mro.org/zmm/teachings/zazeninst.pdf Good luck FB On Apr 12, 2009, at 2:33 PM, Rose Conforti wrote: > > > Happy Easter, > > Thanks for asking.
