Yes, they can help get you started in flexibility and strength training. Yoga itself isn't aerobic and generally fat burning, but it's a good activity.

Meditation calms the mind, bringing full awareness, peace and joy among other benefits to oneself.

Meditation is just sustained concentration which in fact should be practiced during any task. Nonetheless, this concentration is emphasized during any yoga practice and specially in meditation, when certainly there is nothing else to do.

It is hard not to see such sustained concentration for long periods as a waste of time, but this is just a tendency of the mind, looking for more things through fear and desire, instead of looking for feeling better.

That's something that you have to figure out for yourself. It is very much a matter of opinion. Just try everything!

Robert Verdell is a school teacher in Lansing, Michigan. He also teaches Yoga and women's self-defense through a number of places in the area. I know he had earned a brown belt in Judo a few years ago, I suspect he has earned his black belt since then.

Even meditators who begin to sit with their eyes open, lowered, and unfocused sometimes eventually and repeatedly experience a black visual field. This may be due to holding the eyeballs motionless or to a closing of the eyelids. It is not something to worry about, and it is not something to value (except, perhaps, as an indication of deep concentration). Not all people who meditate experience it.

I have much experience with this question, and I can say with utmost certainty that meditation helps.

A few things. You probably want to start with active (rather than passive) techniques. There are techniques that allow you to move, to throw off excess energy, before sitting and going in. One such technique is called gibberish.

As you go deeper in your practice of meditation, you will become aware of more and more stuff. And not all of it is roses!

The thing is -- keep practicing. Continue to eat healthy, drink lots of water, and do your technique. If you feel like crying, cry! Crying is a great way to move stuck energy. You might even put on some sad music to aid the process.

Another thing: remember that the collective is nuts! The people around you are freaking out about terrorism and the economy and global warming. And if your practice is deepening, you will begin to feel this collective angst more and more. Just be present in each moment, keep breathing, and notice what is happening.

Also, it is probably best to work with a teacher or a group of people, rather than on your own. That way, if stuff comes up, you have a place to turn. (Mention to the group leader that you have been diagnosed by Western doctors as having bipolar. You might also want to share this message with him/her.)

Over time, meditating gives you space from the chattering mind. So the active mind may continue with its thoughts, but you will be able to watch them from a distance. They will not disturb you as much.

A person who practices yoga is called a 'yogi'. Some call women who practice yoga, 'yogini',

but 'yogi' can be used for both, much like the term 'actor' can be used for both genders as well.

Any activity which involves a twisting or massaging motion of the trunk, or lower abdomen can stimulate the bowels.
