Why am I Meditating?
How many of you out there have been to the doctor for a serious condition and they look at you and say "Lets all just take a deep breath to calm down." Its like "hello" if i wanted to meditate I would have gone to youtube, NOT the doctor. Im not saying that meditation does not help others and does not have an importance to society. We believe it could even be used as part of a treatment plan, but it should not be the only treatment. No offense to anybody but I am not confused, stressed, or crazy I just need help.
In case you are wondering, both of us have tried meditating. My experience was not great, but my roommates was downright hilarious. Her first meditation experience was as the hospital. It did not go well. They sent in the psych team and they had her close her eyes and picture two televisions on the beach. On one television she was having muscle spasms (jeebies) and on the other she was "normal" (because thats totally a thing). She was supposed to turn off the television with the jeebies so she would wake up and be normal. My roommate decided that the person giving the vision was a quality person to ignore because three years later the television is still running. Turns out this is the best television in the world but it has decided to use its powers for evil instead of good.
Three years later she found herself in a position of needing to meditate for class. It did not go well... see the pattern? It was jeebie week. The goal was 40 minutes of silent reflection and meditation. She made it about a minute and a half, so overall better then last time.
Living with a condition is very real, and will effect activities that most people would not think of. Here is what we have to say. If you twitch, or can't sit still, or like me need to lie down instead of sit but want to meditate DO IT. Meditate in a way that your body allows, its not about rules the goal is whatever you want it to be. If you feel accomplished in your mediation then you are.

We picked Tremors and Nemo because we are proud of who we are. Tremors has the muscle spasms, and Nemo refers to the fact that my heart works like a fish.
