Hi, you ask: >hmm, sounds like you envision living off pranic energy. what kind of >meditation do you do? I'am just sitting in the yoga-way called "Yajnavalkya", closing my eyes and try to see. Nothing else. When I feel I should open my eyes again I do and the sitting ends. Mostly before I stand up there comes an exciting phase where I seem to be miles away from my room yet I am still sitting there and am fully aware of what happens. It's often ecstatic. Lasts from 5 to 15 minutes while the meditation itself lasts 25..75 minutes. I do not look on a watch, I just let it run. Best regards, Stefan
