My response to the chant challenge, a combination of Tantum Ergo and Om Mani Padme Om.

English Translation of the Gregorian Chant:

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe'r ancient   more...forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.

Amen.  less

<b>MEDITATION IS VERY EASY AND SIMPLE. DO IT FOR ONE MINUTE ONLY !! DO IT ANY WHERE ANYTIME !!
MOST OF MY FRIEND WHO HAVE NOT DONE MEDITATION BEFORE ASK WHAT MEDITATION U DO AND HOW I WILL DO THE   more...SAME. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION BELOW THIS IS THE MEDITATION I DO AND MILLIONS OTHER R DOING. PRINCIPLE OF ALL DIFF TYPE OF MEDITATIONS R ONE AND THE SAME. THE OBJECTIVE OF MEDITATION IS TO REACH CALM STATE OF MIND.
WHAT is MEDITATION !!

WATCHING UR BREATH IS MEDITATIONS !

CLOSE UR EYES & OBSERVE UR NATURAL BREATHING !

THATS ALL!

THE REST R ALL EITHER BREATHING TECHNIQUES OR YOGA EXERCISES.
Procedure : Breathe in deeply, and chant 'Om'kar. OOOOOOm ( long O and small m )
Duration : 10 mins or more
Benefits : meditation!!
Details:
"Omkar Japa" (Muttering the mantra "OM")
Concentrate your mind on the respiration and meditate on the sacred mantra "OM". God has fashioned the shape of our brows like OM. This body and the universal cosmic body are filled with this mantra. It is not the figure or expression of any individual thing, but it is divine energy, which regulates the entire functioning of the universe. With every act of breathing in and breathing out, mentally go on repeating the mantra "OM". The speed of respiration should be so slow and subtle that you yourself also may not be aware of its sound, even if a piece of cotton is placed in front of the nostril it should not move by the effect of the air exhaled out. Slowly practice and make the duration of one inhalation and exhalation to one minute. Likewise, try to visualize the breath inside the body. Initially the breath can be felt only in the nostrils but gradually it will be felt deep inside. In this way, visualizing the breath and continuous chanting of 'OM' will lead to Dhyana automatically. Your mind will develop a feeling of concentration and your body will be filled with the feeling of OM. The Gayatri Mantra from the Vedas can also be chanted meaningfully along with Pranayama. This way the Sadhaka can attain the joyful stage of Samadhi by going through the various visualizations of god and supreme powers. Also if this is practiced at bedtime, one will get peaceful sleep without any perverted dreams etc.

This is a tribute to the relationship between Kikyo, Kagome, InuYasha, and a little bit of Naraku. It's easy to think 'Well Kagome and Kikyo are fighting over InuYasha so they must hate each other' and   more...such, but if you look closer their relationship is fairly complex, so this mostly centers around them. Song info is at the end, please don't post asking about it. Please leave a comment, thank you!  less

Just a timing video that I had a lot of fun with. :D Beware of S3 spoilers, including unaired stuff from the massive fail of Nickelodeon.

GENERAL!!
Pranayam (or Pranayama)!!!
Breathing is life but how little do we know about it! For example, do you know that you use only ONE nostril at a time for our breathing? At any time, either only the right or left nostril will be working. Test it out now. Place a finger half an inch below your left nostril for a few seconds, and then under your right. You will now which is working at the moment. Amazing, isn't it?

And now for more. Do you know the active nostril changes, at regular intervals (approximately one and a half hours) during the day? And that for a short period, both nostrils come into play?

The ancient yogis in India knew all this and much more. They knew the intimate connection between breath and mind. For example, when your mind is angry, watch your breathing. It will be disturbed. And similarly, if you hold your breath for long, your mind will get agitated. The yogis were trying to get some degree of control over the mind. Since the mind is very subtle, impossible to grasp, they figured out how to use this connection between the breath and the mind. By controlling the breath, they were indirectly able to influence the mind.
A regular, deep breath enables one to feel calm and an irregular breath can make you feel anxious. Yoga Breathing helps to re- charge the cells in the body and re- energizes the brain cells; thus, the body is rejuvenated.
Meditation is one of the proven alternative therapies. It can be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine.

More and more doctors are prescribing meditation as a way to lower blood pressure, improve exercise performance in people with angina, help people with asthma breathe easier, relieve insomnia and generally relax the everyday stresses of life. Meditation is a safe and simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. It is simple; but can benefit everybody.

The first thing to learn is sectional breathing. We breathe through three parts of the ches  less
