I'm curious to know if anyone around here meditates on any sort of regular basis. If so, what are your techniques and why do you do it? I meditate to ease my mind and calm my emotions, to leave my body and roam with my mentality alone. What I do is visualize something. I visualize myself, in a way. It's hard to describe exactly howso. In a dream, you can sense things, and you often have a material body, but it's shape is indefinate. That is how I visualize myself. I envision my world, and I travel it freely, often through the air and seemlessly into and out of various bodies of water. If I had to paint or draw such a scene, I'd depict my "self" as a mass of vapor, distinct from clouds or other worldly phenomenon, and distinct from the environment, but at the same time, able to assimilate into it. While I coast through the air, I am wind. While moving through the water, I am liquid. This is the best I can describe it. How about you? |

I used to, but I stopped. Might go back to it soon, not sure. Really, I just completely blanked out my mind, the reason I meditated was to get away from absolutely everything, and my thoughts where a big part of everything. So, I just kinda blanked out my mind, went for about five hours once, had no memory of what happened, if anything did. |

I don't meditate regularly, but I do meditate. I tend to do it when I'm particularly stressed. I just tend to sorta... I'm not sure what it's called, I think it's "inner light" meditation. I watch swirly colors and light when I close my eyes. |

I don't have the time to do serious meditating, however, I have researched Buddhism, and it sounds great. Guess I'll be starting. | |||

I've done meditation in conjuction with Tai Chi Ch'uan (or just Tai Chi), and the movements are considered meditation in movement. But I also have done meditation as a way to increase my awareness around me. Things like just trying to wipe my mind of all conscious thought whatsoever, or trying to sense without seeing. | |||

I do sort of.. but i do it kinda differnty... When i need to escape my thoughts and the world arround me... i put on some headphones listten to music and just go for a walka and i can hear anything but i concentrate on where everything is with my fealings and my other sences.... not usualy sight, i can usualy tell where people are without being able to see them...but i have to stop thinking and thats why i use the headphone, when i close my eyes i see too much to meny words and strange ideas that plage me sometimes like a nightmare durring the day... so i do this instead.. you can call it meditation in a sence |

I do meditate when I'm being called names and such at school. At first glance it looks like I'm just in a big strop, but I'm actually blocking out all sounds and visuals and bad emotions, just letting my happiness flow through me. I feel much better and not like total scum then | |||

During a religion lesson at my school, my class visited a little Buddhist temple. They were very nice and we tried meditating there. Believe me or not but I felt like I was floating when I got it right. That calmness. |

In light of windwanker and Fettster's comments, I'd like to note, in case it isn't clear, that when I say meditate I go by the dictionary definition. I don't mean something inherently religious or involved with ceremony, nor something that necessarily needs to be trained for or taught about. It seems like some of you are making that assumption; I just wanted to clarify. |
