Water fountain for the calming effects I love the idea of floor pillows.

Q. How long does it take to see the benefits of meditation? I've been meditating for 20 minutes, twice a day, for about a month. I still can't see any positive internal changes. Would living in a abusive/negative environment prevent these changes from occurring? When I meditate I'm usually calm and peaceful, but I don't feel that way during the day. Please provide some insight. Thank you. Asked by WorldPeace - Wed Jan 20 05:26:11 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is very good you have committed to a daily practice. Now, a little patience is needed. The river of your body-mind-Being is muddy, from years of neglect. It may take a little time for the mud to settle, so that the clear, fresh water is known and tasted. If you are living in an abusive/negative environment now, this will add a bit of challenge to things. As you move through this environment, notice how you respond to each event. Over time, you may find more options available to you than you currently see. If you are talking about a past environment, we all have our histories to deal with. Continue meditating, and all will be revealed and healed in due course. Answered by Prahas - Thu Jan 21 08:10:49 2010 What are some good plants for meditation?
