I took a class in meditation and found it very natural. From the beginning I could sit for 1/2 hour at a time with a clear mind. Now I live in a way that minimizes my footprint on the Earth. We need to stop the destructive practices used for mining and oil/gas production. I believe that if everyone does this the Earth will respond with fewer natural disasters and start a healing process.W6QRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681880651692950979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-30848416830183674132014-09-22T15:58:44.013+09:002014-09-22T15:58:44.013+09:00Bill,
Yes, joining pile up was a cause of stress ...Bill,<br /><br />Yes, joining pile up was a cause of stress for me, too. When I could get reply from certain DX, it was release from that stressor. At that moment, we feel a kind of joy as relief from that stress. It did not pay for the time and stress we felt. <br /><br />Another reason why I quit DXing was that some DXpeditioners behaved out of manner. Some did not work with certain people because of different thoughts in DXing etc. The others have ruined the existing amateur radio by the native people. I felt disgusted at them. It won't take me too long to lose interests in DXing.<br /><br />You have survived pulmonary embolism, which is always pretty serious. That experience has lead you to the world of meditation and Yoga. It sounds great. Thinking of the rarity we could live as we do now, we should think of something beyond of our common sense or even science. Devastating natural disasters like caldera type volcano explosion could have human beings and human culture perished someday. We are living as if it won't occur in our lives. But it is not right, I think. We are destined to live lives destined to death, which could occur any time in our lives. I don't think it is a pessimism but a reality. Recognizing ourselves as it is, we should ask for relief by some means. I don't know how you have reached the world of meditation. My idea is what I have written here.<br /><br />ShinShin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-44788997644194423872014-09-22T00:18:33.472+09:002014-09-22T00:18:33.472+09:00I stopped serious DXing in 1993.

After my double pulmonary embolism in 2004 I started meditation and Yoga, now I live stress free, in the present moment.W6QRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681880651692950979noreply@blogger.com
