It’s been almost 150 days since launch of Meditation Rocks! In first 2 months I shared the progress of our journey with you but then I stopped doing it – it wasn’t a good decision. A blog is supposed to be a family and as a family we should know where we stand and where we are headed.

Please take this small survey to help us do better

Here are some stats from that show how much we have progressed:

• We’ve had over 75,500 hits, from 11 Feb to 11 March. That’s a real progress.
• We have 990 people following us on twitter.
• 270+ fans on facebook love us.

Join us on social networks if you have not already done that.

Decision Time

I think real success of a blog is success of the blog as family. Your progress in your practice is the real success of Meditation Rocks! We are family, aren’t we?

Family takes many decisions. And it is time for us to take some together. Here are a few things that I think you should know and I want your thoughts on it:

How to Meditate eCourse

I’ve been working on it for quiet a while. It will be a free eCourse for those who want to start meditating but don’t know how. It will be delivered by email. If you want to help me out with this just take this little survey and ask your friends to do that too.

Content on Meditation Rocks!

Most content on ‘Meditation Rocks!’ is related to meditation. I was thinking of including posts about following things in too:

1. Buddhism, Buddha’s Sutra and Teachings.
2. Personal Development Related Articles.
3. Interviews with some awesome people.

Now they are not for me, they are for you. I want to know if you’d like to read that here on Meditation Rocks! or should we just stick to ‘Meditation’ and explore more about it. Go on and tell me what you think.

Some Other Stuff

Most Awesome People

I know you know but I will tell you anyways, I’ve added ‘Most Awesome People’ in sidebar where the people who comment most are displayed. If you have a blog or website and you’ve put it in there at time of commenting in relevant field, your name will link to your website. If you want your picture to display there, go and register with Gravatar.

Design Updates

I am constantly working on design of our blog to make it easier to use and fun to surf. Please let me know if you experience any problem with website.

Let’s Talk

Comment section is for you guys, use it. How would I know if you like or dislike something if you won’t tell me? Speak your mind there and as we progress with discussion, it will benefit us all.

Once change you will notice, the comment forum used to appear above all comments just below the author bio, but now it will appear at the end of all the comment so on your way you can read what other people have said and comment on that too. Discussion adds so much more value to content for all of us.

If you are reading this in your email, just reply to the email and it will reach me.

Special thanks to Ram and Ryan for being honest and helping me with progress of Blog so far. You guys rock!

I’ve blah-ed enough now I want to hear from you:

It’s been 60 days since launch of Meditation Rocks! I’d like to share our achievements so far. Let’s see how much have we progressed as a community and then I’ll make some exciting announcements. And most important, I will need your feedback to make this blog a better place.

Growing as Community

This month was super exciting for us. Thanks to Deepak Chopra’s tweet and to you people who shared the articles with all your friends. We now have 175 fans on facebook and 940+ followers on twitter. That means more loving people are connecting to meditation!

We had total of 37,721 Hits and 6,824 Visits.

I got buys with studies and for a whole week in November, Meditation Rocks wasn’t updates we lost a lot of readers. But I am glad that we have those who will stick around no matter what. Thanks you guys.

Media Exposure

Remember last time I mentioned that we were published in local newspaper? I’ve managed to find one of the two mentions.

Here is the full resolution image. I’ve highlighted the important part.

Also our post ‘10 Most Inspiring People to Follow on Twitter’ got viral and was retweeted like crazy. The post got place in Blogussion’s Weird Weekends which is a great honor.

Thanks to Authors

Last time I was misunderstood on this one, What I meant was that Meditation Rocks is your own place. So everyone of you is invited to share your experience. I am thankful to Manav Dhiman who wrote 15 Year Old’s Advice on Healing Through Meditation and our Gifting Guy Ryan Biddulph who revealed his secret Meditation. If you are thinking of sharing your experience, just write and contact me .

Personal Experience

Meditation Rocks and you guys inspired me to try new things, write, explore, read and meet awesome people. You guys inspired new ideas in me. Asked awesome questions which made me think, explore and learn more. So it’s been so much of fun and learning.

Announcements

Yes we have some awesome announcements to make. And please remember to provide your feedback on this. Your opinion means everything to Meditation Rocks.

Re-Design

We will have major redesign here. Things will be more awesome and easy to find. This place will be awesome to hangout and meditate. So if you love a site’s design, then do let me know. We have Blogussion and Zen Habits on our list.

Weekly Series – Affirmations

Most probably next week we will have a series of posts on Affirmations. So remember to subscribe via Email if you have not, this is to make sure you don’t miss out any article. I know I promised this earlier but I thought let’s start with Affirmations.

Book Reviews

I am not sure about this, need your feedback. I usually read 4- 5 books a month. Many of them are related to meditation. Would you like me to review the books here?

Meditation Weekends

If you have noticed, I usually don’t post on weekends because most of you are busy enjoying weekends so there is no use. But sometimes we just want to meditate on weekends and enjoy more? Or maybe just learn more? So on weekends I’ll  post a list on interesting articles, facts and fun stuff. Would you like to add to his idea?
