    hey everyone.. i was just sitting here feeling really relaxed and enlightend and decided to tell everone how i got this way.

    Well i had a pritty busy day at work day, and i came home kicked off my shoes Made some Peppermint tea, lit a candle and turned on some jazz and i feel really relaxed. Try it some time.. if you don't have jazz music go to here www.accuradio.com/jazz I usualy don't listen to it.. but its good to get me into my happy place.

    My question to you all:

    what do you do to get enlightened, energized, or relaxed?

    Hi,

    Chai is a Hindi word for tea. Tea is more or less the Indian national drink. It is very different from the way it is prepeared in the west. In the UK for example you don't boil the tea leaves. You take the kettle off the pot when the water boils and add the tea leaves. But in India we add the tea leaves to the boiling water. It makes the tea stronger and more potent although I have heard that it is not good for health if you boil the tea leaves for too long.

    Tea is a staple drink of meditators - helps you keep awake. I prefer coffee myself but drink tea from time to time.

    Nikhil

    occasionally i get the sense that my acoustic guitar is calling me to play it. if i listen to this, i usually start playing a beatles song like let it be or strawberry fields forever or a grateful dead song like franklins tower. il start singing, quiet at first, and then gradually surrender my self-consiousness and sing very loudly. that point, that peak of the song, is when i feel the most enlightened.

    It takes me about four hours to get enlightened each day. That's how unenlightened I am.
