meditation?

i realize that one can meditate any old way i please, and how you meditate is a personal choice, but i really need help. does anyone have any experience in meditating for long periods of time? what is your technique? what, have you found so far, are the benefits of meditation? what are your experiences, if any thus far, with chanting? any advise would be helpful, but i really need help with my technique, so please provide me with details…

Which should I learn: Tai Chi or Qigong?

I have no experience in either Tai Chi or Qigong. With that said:

-Which style is the best to start off with for a healthy 17 year old?

-Is it better to focus on one, rather than juggling both at the same time?

-Does Tai Chi also teach you how to control your “qi” like Qigong?

-Could I learn to sucessfully present either form in front of an audience within 7 months?

-Last, how can I tell if an instructor knows what he’s doing?

Thank you all in advance!
Is there enough material for me to cover 40+ hours with my instructor? (project requirement)

i heard something like orgasm as somekind God experience. what do you think ? i’m serious.?

i heard it once but i forget the source..
i don’t mean to insult or something.. i really read it once..
but in this question the term God means a higher consciousness… something like the state of “no self”.. something like “joining the universe”..
do you think so ?
cause when we feel orgasm, we feel like somehow ‘enlightment’..
i know you might think i’m joking or trying to make fun.. but i’m not. i’m really serious..
and they also stated something about yoga/samadhi expert practitioner or a high spiritual person can experience it.. a feeling just like orgasm.. it is a state of mind.. they can have this God experience without having sex, etc..
what do you think ?
i think it could be possible.. isn’t it ?

Has anyone achieved the supramental consciousness spoken by Sri Aurobindo? If so, then how?

I know about The Mother. Also, if it has to do with anything about Integral Yoga, can you also relate to me any facilities in Texas to heighten my experience. Also any literature.

What’s the worst experience you’ve ever had related to your karate training?

Could be with a teacher, other students, the school, the training itself. I’ve had a few. Here’s one: I met with a Tae Kwon Do teacher who laughed at (LAUGHED AT) my Kenpo background continually and said it wasn’t real karate, and wouldn’t exist outside of the U.S. He worked us to the bone! That wasn’t so bad you get used to it eventually. But then another student proceeded to tell me how other newbies have thrown up in class before. And a yellow belt actually did throw up that day. It was too much for me. I went once.
And the place didn’t have air conditioning!
