These three things are cognitive powers that take skill and experience. Even telepathy and telekinesis are subjects that have no sections here, so where can I ask about them?
You can’t place it under those things because no one will answer it. It should be under "brain power." There’s no limit to how many categories you can use.

There IS a section for the paranormal on YA under Science & Mathematics > Other – Science
or Social Science > Psychology or Social Sciences > Other – Social Science.

Why is the Mental Health section on YA always so hard to find?

Make a Suggestion on the Suggestion Board or Ask a Question on the Suggestion Board., but pre- pared to be attacked and abused. The Suggestion Board is where all the paranoid trolls go to whine about how unfair YA is and how they think it should be run. When you dare to report abuse on the Suggestion Board to the abuse team, they suspend your account’s ability to access the SB. Yahoo wants the trolls business just as much as wants the business of the users who follow the community guidelines and terms of service that we all agreed to follow when we signed up with Yahoo and YA.

I did the 10 day Vipassana meditation of S. N. Goenka’s last month and I also want to practice Zen when I get the chance to meet a good teacher. Would like to know experience of someone who has tried both.

i’ve done the goenka retreats.
and only read about different types of zen practice.i have over 100 books on buddhism and meditation.
something to keep in mind to, just like there are different types of vipassana practice there are going to be different types of zen practice too.
if i had a choice between the two i would do a zen practice and probably korean zen that uses sitting with questioning called hwadu(i think). i rather use the mind than just observe sensations.
nothing against the U Ba Khin/Goenka method but it’s just not suited for everyone.
just thought i’d throw my two cents in just in case you don’t get any response from anyone who has done both.

What is the purpose of zen (chan, zazen, dhyana) meditation and what is meant to be accomplished in doing so?

In Buddhism, there are two principal types of meditation:

1. Shamatha or resting meditation – where emphasis is on being able to place the mind on objects of choice, whether non-religious, for example a pebble, ones breath, or no-object at all, or religious for example the body [a picture or statue], speech [a mantra], or mind [a pure light or emptiness] of the Buddha. Here one learns to discipline the fluctuations and wandering of the mind and establishes its basic calmness.

2. Vipashyana or insight meditation – where emphasis is on seeing the true nature of mind, thoughts, and experience. Here one cultivates recognition of the reality of our condition and establishes the stability of this recognition, ultimately integrating this recognition with all activity, including sitting, reclining, eating, talking, dreaming, and sleeping.
