IA for Lunar Raven

[Autumn Clair]

As a beginner I'm going to ask you to look over the beginning threads, if you wish check out some of the other IA's see see what type of meditation you'd like to try working on.
Post here when you've made you decision.

I just got done reading all of the threads...and think I have come to a decision.

I know that I want to work on passive meditation. My intentions from taking this class is to develop better relaxation and concentration skills. I want to be able to really empty my mind of worry and every day thoughts...and get in touch with my 'inner' self...atleast once a day :P. I have trouble getting through meditation because of thoughts and distractions...but I want to work on that.

"*Patanjali’s Yoga begins with purification of the mind, posture and breath control followed by withdrawal of the mind from external objects (pratyahara) and fixing the mind (dharana) at a particular center. Then comes meditation (dhyana)."

This sounds like what I am interested in. I would also like to work on visualizations, if that's covered in this class.
