Hi Lazarus! Everything I said to Hans Olo above is for you too. I, btw, am Buddhist - and an atheist. I don't pray or go to church either.

If you missed my response to Hans Olo in post #3 of this thread where I gave him a link to a story I wrote, you might find it of particular interest. I have been an instructor in Kung Fu San Soo and am a practitioner of many different styles including Jeet Kune Do (created by Bruce Lee). The story I linked takes place in a dojo where the hero of our story is taught meditation as a condition of his martial arts lessons.

I've come down with a very debilitating auto-immune disease and yoga keeps me moving.

I've degree's in mathematics and physics and am a member of Mensa. I'm also married which means that I too lead a life of celibacy...
We have a bit in common. I'd suggest that you try the meditation that I suggested for Hans above and you are always welcome to PM if you have ongoing questions.
