Yoga or Meditation for Beginers?

I want to start yoga or meditation at home by my self what's the best way for some one to start who has never done this before.

Yoga is a mental excercise as well as a physical excercise.
The best technique for any person contemplating to take up yoga is not to contemplate but to concentrate - on how yoga and its techniques is escalating into a world wide epidemic where yoga exercises are helping ailing patients and others who seek peace of mind.

There is a meditation which promises everything - enlightenment, samadhi, spiritualism etc.

And it is also the simplest.

AnaPana(breath) :

Sit down in any erect posture & simply watch your natural breathing. Incoming , outgoing , in between . Do not try to modify the pace , just watch the natural rhythm. In the mean time try to see that no thought crosses your mind even if any thought arises stop it & again bring your attention to the breathing. Keep doing. Initially you will think that - What am I doing ? But slowly you will know the results. Remember , dont add any mantra etc.

This is the meditation with which Buddha achieved enlightenment under bodhi tree in Gaya.

I have tried yoga and meditation and to me meditation is more...convenient because you can do it with little room (no stretching room.) But everyone is different so I suggest youu give both a try seperately but rember that there is no reason at all not to do both. Yogists actually not only do yaoga but also meditates.
Hoped I helped!

I think Meditation is good for beginners. For your info there is a unique meditation called Transcendental Meditation. Its very easy to practice at home and good for our healthy life. To learn Transcendental Meditation you first attend a free introductory lecture, at which you learn about the value and benefits of regular practice of the technique. Robert Roth, author of the book, Transcendental Meditation, describes some of these benefits:

Reduced stress
Improved memory and learning ability
Increased energy
Increased inner calm
Reduced insomnia
Increased happiness and self-esteem
Reduced anxiety and depression
Improved relationships
Improved health (in many categories)

Falun Gong is very interesting because it's a unique Buddhist School, teaching an ancient qigong practice for the body, mind, and spirit. The practice is based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises. The online book provides easy to understand concept in the practice.

Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Christians have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China.

It's important to stop the Chinese Communist regime's human right violation. Can you kindly sign a petition to stop persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, please ?
