From the excellent book on meditation: The Everyday Meditator. I started doing the Dynamic Meditation from it today. It made me queasy and it’s a long time since I felt nausea. Is it the worse feeling? One of them. It was also hard work: 10 minutes of breathing deeply, moving the body. 10 minutes of catharsis, letting out whatever you feel. 10 minutes of jumping up and down, hoo-ing. 15 minutes stopped dead still. 15 minutes dancing. It’s a stirring meditation, based on the idea that if ‘modern man’ attempts to sit quietly, he just can’t do it, so bound up are we in our issues and thought patterns. This ‘meditation’ supposedly gets things moving, allowing release of deep stored emotions and habits. We’ll see. More on this later.
