http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation Every now and then I do a little bit of meditation to take my mind of stuff, usually when I can't get to sleep because I have so much stuff to think about, and it wipes it all from my mind. I'm just wondering if anyone here does it and has some good techniques. I kinda learnt it at school and what I do is just lay there in my bed and slowly let each body part go to sleep. then i just concentrait on breathing in and out and usually think of something like a beach or just a tree blowing in the wind. It is very very relaxing and will make me smile and feel great no matter how pissed off i am at something or someone. Also does anyone know any good music to listen to when I do this? I suggest this to alot of people that get depressed often or have insomnia, it may help!! Thanks. =]
Meditation is wonderful although I don't do it nearly enough! I have to do it in the morning because otherwise I'm asleep! I find I often get in a meditative state while walking early in the morning. I get home and realize that I don't remember a thing about my walk.
lol becky. It is very calming. You should watch out though, could easily get hit by a car. I just found this website with lots of music on it, all free. http://download.meditation.org.au/meditationmusic.asp Not sure how good they are because I haven't listned to any yet.
I almost did the other day! No kidding, this car pulled out from a side street and veered over into the bike path where I was walking. It I hadn't been paying attention and jumped out of the way, they would of got me. I think THEY were meditating while driving!
I don't tend to meditate, however as an amateur hypnotist I often help people enter the relaxed state that is associated with both meditation and hypnosis. My method is often very similar to your method, I help them relax their entire body, then focus their mind on a relaxing experience.
I don't do meditation that's because I usually stay till I smash my head on my desk:eek: I've got a CD from my mom's friend who is a singer(german) and it's really relaxing music but I find it difficult to go sleep while listen to the music somehow... Piano musics worded well for me tho
Yer use essances, they work and my bro used to listen to the sea music where you hear oceans and all that it realli works
I like doing it cross legged...and I visualize an energy moving in a figure out 8 around my legs... Wierd..I know haha
Jon Kabat-Zinn has written several books on "Mindful Meditation" plus there's CD's available with guided meditations. It all starts with paying attention to your breathing. I've found them at the Library.
