Does Anyone Here Meditate?

[Jammer22]

I meditate when I can when I can remember.

For those who are interested, do your Research first. Go with the traditional books on yoga before trying some of the new age dreaming or magic books on meditation. They can f*** you up if your not careful.

I remember trying to do one of the advanced breath exercises from a book about one and Astral bodies. The exercise was about alternative breathing through the nostrils plus visualizing light near the 3rd eye. Breh started to feel like I was hot/cold at the same time after i tried it gor lIke 30 mins.

Might have messed with hormones or did something else. Either way, I made sure to try asana before I ever mess with advanced techniques my body ain't prepared for.

I've been battling intense anxiety and a fairly consistent depression since at least August, meditation is my latest foray into trying to better myself. Only two days into it, short 5 minute sessions do seem to be having an impact already.

I noticed that I've had a sort of cycle amidst my mental struggles where my home has quickly become like a tar pit. I'll wake up with an idea of what I want to accomplish, and I'll just let time slip away. I can easily knock a day out being unproductive, and fall into further despair when I see another day pass by. Something about meditating has had me immediately focused on the present, and a lot more clear-headed.

Going to try to meditate before I head off to work in the morning. I think I might as well do it before I sleep as well.

I wonder why meditating is seen as a sort of joke among young folks.... I know I always thought of it as some yuppie, out there shyt myself.

I meditate multiple times a day. At this point in my life, it is a necessity. Eat, sleep, breathe, meditate.
I meditate differently depending on the time of day.

Props to the peeps who get down with meditation! It can be difficult to start. But, so fulfilling.

It saved my life, as well.

Oh yeah, meditation alongside having a flu/cold sucks!!!!
