I have read a lot theories about meditation rather i practice it but later i realized and understand that meditation is just being at no mind state. It is not doing some thing. It is just being nothing. Now i am sitting in quietness and experiencing the emptiness within myself. Thanks.

Yes I try to do it as much as I can but I believe that it is a great way to start your day. It requires practice and it should be the first thing you do after you wake up. I think I have to be more consistent as it will enable to focus more clearly on the things I want to accomplish this year.

Start every day with about an hours meditation, get up at 5 before the rest of the family to have some quite time meditating. The best way to start the day!

Yes I have done that but not regularly, only when I have time. I feel great after meditation,even I just meditate for 5 mins. My mind released and all the negative thoughts are gone. Also, my intuition enhance a lot too! So, I recommend everyone do it when you have time. |

I meditate several times per week and have found Holosync technology to be a great asset in this. It's sort of simplified meditation. I just plug in my headphones, turn on my Holosync tracks and fall asleep. It's a tad bit more effective to stay awake but my meditation tracks are over 3 hrs in total so I just listen to them while I sleep. |

Yeah so in regards to the whole monkey brain, chit chatter aspect of the brain one really has to understand what the teachers and all the gurus are really saying. Allow me to explain. Firstly thought is mainly a bio-chemical reaction in your brain (electrochemical). This is what we refer to when we talk about thought. When they talk in meditation about "Non-thought" which is what I believe we are referring to here, what they actually mean is to think in a different kind of way, that is why I like this thread because people, I think actually get it. Really what they mean is not to think in words. Words are slow, cumbersome and clunky. We dont actually need them in the brain. Yet that is how we are programmed since birth and hence the ancient yogi's and gurus say "do not think" because that is the only way they knew to say what they wanted to say. Make sense. Words are great for communication, but in terms of thought, they are useless. They are not needed for thinking. For example: if you are walking across a street and you see a bus coming do you stop and think in your brain "Bus, speeding, coming for me, quick move out of the way now before you die"? No of course not. You just know instinctively to move. Its the same if you look at an object, go ahead, right now look at a random object. Your brain will want to say the word instantly, for example a cup. Why does your brain need to say the word cup? It doesnt, that is the point, you know what a cup is without the word, you know its feeling, you know what it feels like. So if you look at a cup and you look at a telephone, they feel different dont they? This is what you try to attain when meditating. This is real non-thought. Its not about not thinking, its about thinking in a different way, thinking in pure light instead of chemical reactions in the organic brain. Thinking by feeling. This is not easy to do. You should try Eric Pepins meditation technique as this is one of the core things he teaches. He has great methods for attaining non-thought, in fact ill go so far as to say any idiot can do it ![]() I think he just released a new book, part of his core 1 series which details the meditation technique among other things. Goes for li 4.99 on kindle and is apparently already a best seller in several of Amazons categories, NO AFF LINK: |

Yes, I do meditate and I think it's very important to find the time to do so every day if possible. It's the only way to connect truly with the Divine and find guidance.

I started meditating 2 months ago. At first it seemed hard, but it becomes more relaxing and enjoyable the more you do it. I used this app, its called Headspace.. really love it and have seen tangible benefits already. |

I've been doing Hwato meditation for about a year now. Still haven't reached enlightenment yet; I guess I'll just be human the rest of my life.

I would say no (at least in the popular sense). My method would be closer to contemplation or pondering. I suppose I'm capable of clearing my mind but only for the few seconds it would take for something else to fill it up again. |

Thanks for your thanks :-) Tinnitus... you have no excuse there Dennis that's not going to be your get out of jail card. I suffer with that too. sometimes it's like two express trains passing each other in a long tunnel. The thing with meditation is that it sort of neutralizes sounds even though they are within the head. You ask those that meditate what has it done for you? All I can say is visit my website: Alpha Waves And Beyond | Vic...

With most of the stuff that we hear, amen to that. It's tough keeping a postive note but as soon as you start to think negative we become a living breathing crap magnet.

I got sucked in and purchased Tony Robbin's course off of an infomercial when I was 19 and broke. Probably the best spur-of-the-moment purchase I have ever made. He is not perfect, but it did open my eyes to what is available in our lives. There is an audio in the course called Daily Magic. I would suggest to anyone to find a copy of that audio. It takes you through a very intentional meditation every day. 1) Special breathing techniques. 2) Gratitude (gets rid of fear and doubt) 3) Visualization (what you want to create in your life) 4) Affirmations 5) Increasing the positive energy in your body. It's the bee's knees... |

For those who find it hard to meditate, guided meditation is great and can get you in the groove! I found a TON of great guided meditation on audible(dot)com where you can get it at a bargain! |

I would say that I do not meditate, but I do take time each morning for some quiet reflection. I guess some might say that is meditation. Basically I do it to start my day and just send a good vibration out into the world!

Yes, every so often. I practice Zazen, which is simple and effective. It changed the course of my life two years ago and I believe the effects on my mind have been short of miraculous.

I have before just to clear my mind. I think that it is wonderful to do this. I also think that it is great just to be able to relax and get away from it all.

Not every day, but once in a while. A tip for those that struggles with meditation: do not try or attempt it, simply use a moment to wait. Close your eyes and wait for whatever that comes, after a while you will fall into "another state", this state is meditation. Sometimes that gives me a mindful moment where I get to sense everything that is happening in my body, on some occupations I lose all feeling/attachment to my body and just experience pure silence, other times I get visuals like flying over a landscape, watching other people or moving colors. The different meditative states will depend, the important thing is to not try to interact with it. The mind has many aspects, but the ones we experience is essentially built on two things: awareness and reflection. Awareness of feelings, thoughts etc and reflection over how we perceive them and what they mean to us. 99% of our lives is spent reflecting over the things we are aware of, meditation is awareness without reflection, it is pure awareness. Thats why you cant try or attempt it, because as soon as you do you are back in reflection mode. |

Yes, I feel that meditation is required to release stress and stay motivated. I usually meditate by closing my eyes and clearing my mind once at lunch time and once before bed.

| The trick is this - Meditation is like wishing something you really ought to have. It's not a task you don't like doing. I usually spend 30 minute of not doing anything before I enter the sack. I empty my head and think about nothing. This helps me relax and ready for the next day.

I don't meditate in the conventional sense. Certain music can put me into that state and even thinking of certain people. I'm not great at getting my mind calm enough to concentrate on things in a meditative state but I know what gets me there pretty fast.

For me Meditation is another name for prayer. The time when you subdue all your worldly desires and submit to GOD

Meditation seems to benefit me most with the help of entheogens to really ease my mind. I find it harder to quiet out the noise of the world in my mind while meditating otherwise.
