"It definitely does. Strength gains, flexibility gains, endurance gains, recovery improvements, improved focus and faster reactions. With this list of benefits I'm amazed lfrv is not more widespread, especially in MA where people often care more…"

"I'm a numpty! I remember seeing your question, thinking of an answer and now I can't find the question or remember my answer 8)! What was it again? Time to go improve my cognition with some meditation I think :S"

Shashi Kapoor replied to Yuliya Ⓥ's discussion How do you fit meditation into your busy LFRV schedule? in the group The Meditators

"Although it is #2 for me I certainly keep it consistent :). It's a great way to set yourself up for your day. Keep us posted with your experiences/development of it!"

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: Well, you asked for detail, so you're gonna get it!

I used to be the most sedentary person on the planet (probably a mild exaggeration). I used to eat a diet of sweets, biscuits, and processed processed foods. I was 15 stone and figured that was all I'd ever be. One day I realised that it was a choice.

I started training 4 and a half years ago, in my first year I was doing 3-4 hours of martial arts training per week. I replaced the cake with salads, gave up refined sugars and dropped down to 9 stone within 18 months. I hadn't even thought about the fact that I was wasting away and my diet was putting me into starvation mode. When I looked in the mirror and realised I had given myself food complexes and was undereating, I decided to completely go against my newfound love of weight loss and start gaining (healthy) weight.

I increased my training to 10 hours per week. I started to eat what I thought would build me up (synthetic proteins, 'recovery' meals, meat/fish). It did work to some extent though I now know that's just because of the overall increase in cals. I had more energy and felt stronger. This made me really start to look at my diet and research it. I've experimented with many things.

My friend introduced me to 801010. I thought the notion was ridiculous. The first time I ate a whole bunch of bananas before training I realised it wasn't. I have been transitioning to 811rv since and eat 811 near consistently now. I now sit at 11 stone with a much lower bodyfat % than I've ever had.

The lfrv mindset has given me energy levels that I've never experienced before and really helped me in my quest for health and self development. I question everything all the time so it'd be great to have some more experienced people to grill... I mean steam... I mean... uh :P.

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: hunk

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: Yes! I already eat mostly 811rv

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: Yes, great book!

Are you Connected?: No & keen to connect!

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Books/Authors: The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Steven Covey, Shaolin Chin-Na by Yang Jwing Ming, 80/10/10 by Dr Doug Graham, Travels of the Mind by Ettore Grillo, The Secret - Rhonda Byrne, The Book of Five Rings - Miyamoto Musashi

Movies: 500 Days of Summer, Avatar, Fist of a Legend, Ip Man 1/2, Boondock Saints. Crappy action movies, Arnie/Stallone movies, martial arts movies are great for a laugh too.

Kind of ironic isn't it? since meditation is about learning how to view the body and the world objectively as a witness. As long as we have an ego can we ever really view the world without some bit of subjectivity? Not to mention the issue of the genome, how much of our thoughts, perspectives, and behaviors are coded in our genes?

I'm a bit of a neuroscience buff, especially cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. I've always been interested in learning about meditation but really only started diving into it in the past year.

Thanks for your reply, I found it very useful :)

Basically I was wondering if it was really necessary to take the 10 day course. After reading "The Art of Living" and some other books on vipassana (I found @ http://dhammabooks.com/), in combination with what I already know about cognitive neuroscience, behavioral psych., how we form perceptions and associations based on raw sensory data, and the constantly fluctuating state of our electrons, I feel like I'm already doing it right.
Ok, now that I've written a book (lol), I think I'll also repost part of my original post...

"Can some one tell me what the benefit of going to the classes is compared to just reading up on the subject and goin' at it alone?...
I'd love to hear about anyone's experiences with the classes.
And I was also wondering why some people attend more than once."

I love to discuss this kind of stuff so anything you have to say I'm all ears :)

You say you have a potential answer to my question on meditation? I'd love to hear it, do tell :)

At 1:51pm on July 25, 2010, Amanda Jane said…: My training has been going very well! I had reached the level of advanced brown belt when sadly, during my Senior of high school, I had to quit due to the stress of school. This year though I have been reviewing my curriculum and I am almost caught up again.

How has your martial arts training been going?
