What is Your Favorite Way to Meditate?

[jessicasilverman]

Mine is to just sit upright with my eyes closed and listen to my favorite calm and relaxing movie soundtracks (hanz zimmer is great) and visualize my ideal dream life. Just having your eyes closed will cause your brain to produce alpha waves and you will naturally calm your mind. I do this in the morning and then again about 7 hours later to recalm the mind and feel refreshed and renewed again. What about you?

I usually mediate while in the "planking" position. Look it up on Google, its very big all over the world. (:

Seriously though, I just like to look at the wall in a silent room while trying not to hold onto any particular thought.

I meditate using binaural-beat audio technology. The audio puts your mind into a deep, authentic meditative state with no effort on your part at all. I like to put on my headphones when I wake up and let the program do its magic for the next hour. I usually fall back asleep, but the program still works while you sleep. Is that cool or what?

Purists may scoff, but I've been using this for 6 years and my experience is that it is as close to magic as you can get - more benefits than any other form of personal growth I've ever done (that's a lot). Did I mention that it takes no effort? Check it out here: Immrama Institute - Brainwave audio for health and wellness This is really a no-brainer... LOL

Me personally, I like to meditate right after breakfast and dinner. I just close my eyes and I observe my thoughts and my emotions. I try not to hold to any thought or feeling in particular, but I also make it a point to not try to block out or avoid any uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. I focus on letting them be and accepting their presence.

Most times, I also like to incorporate some deep breath holding. Usually towards the end of my meditation. I breath in, I hold for about 10-20 of my heart beats, then I release the breath slowly.

Do you stop observing your thoughts and emotions after meditation?

I recently been meditating on love. It feels good and I do it thought my day by sending everyone I come to contact with love. So far I like it better then anything i've tried before.

Yeah, good point. This should be practiced in active life too, but when I'm engaging in active life, then I'm more distracted by what I'm engaging in. Meditation is just a good way tune in more deeply into that aspect. I do make a point to observe thoughts and feelings outside of meditation.

Me too and for 7 years. More important, it keeps the noise outside if you are living in a noisy environment, like a protection block. So the meditation becomes deeper.

immrama is good and I like theirs tracks : no music, no speech, only the relaxing waves of the rain or the ocean

I addressed this in another thread. Using binaurals is NOT meditation. Meditation is active, trance is passive. If something else is doing it for you, then you are not exercising your will, it's being done to you, not by you.

Binaurals are great and have value, as I said before, but they put you into trance, not a meditative state, no matter how similar it may appear to be. Sorry.

When I meditate I lay on my bed, turn off the lights and still my mind. Just listen to the messages that those around you want to convey to you. Meditation is all about turning off the external auditory things around us all day long which often times block our angels and guides messages. Quiet your mind and just be...

[cacheborn]

I lie down, relax every body part, deep breathing and watch my thoughts. I also listen to all the sounds. When I do it right, my whole body feels one. I can no longer feel my feet or my fingers separately. There is only me but it's sort of distributed all over the place. I feel very refreshed after this.

Other days, I just keep fidgeting.
