Do you meditate or thought about it?

[Maggie12]

I have started to read a book called 'Hurry up and meditate'.
Its looks really interesting and I want to learn how to do it, it sounds so good for your body and your soul.

Do you meditate or been curious about it?
if you do, how did you learn? Do you do it every day? Have it found it beneficial?

As a part of some depression counselling I've listened to some CDs about mindfullness - the Zen art of meditation. Occasionally it works if anxiety kicks in around large groups; but I don't practice I just try to remember what the dude went on about incessantly.

Well yes,I did it a lot in the late sixties.
I still take time occassionally to just sit and reflect on things now. Usually in the early morning.

I've thought about that's about as far as I got supposed to be good if done the right way.

[Nicole83]

same as Robyn, I've thought about it but I don't know if I can concentrate for too long

[Mrs B]

they do say that meditation is good ..I have thought about it but i guess never gone int it ..

[Rachel]

I do yoga and meditation every Tuesday morning. I have found it really helpful. I am under a bit of stress at the moment and it is definately beneficial for me. My sister, however, finds it a little hard to "disconnect' herself like that..

Don't know if I would call it meditations, but every morning I spend at least an hour in my 'chill' room, with background music - I read, contemplate.... fuzz my doggies.... write my journals and so on - kinda gets me psyched for the day i guess :)

I tried it over 20 years ago with a group of ladies, i went with a GF she actually went to sleep LMAO & i sat there thinking "what a waste of time & all the things i could be doing" so my GF & i never went back again

[SocialGirl]

Sure it wasn't sleep therapy you were at MOC LMAO

[Bubblez]

I've thought about it and I guess I've sorta done it a few times. Really though, I just do positive thinking. I'm not sure how much that counts. It really does help though.

It's amazing how strong our minds are!

[Heather]

I'm a firm believer in the power of positive thinking.....it can keep traffic lights green. LMAO

I do have a meditation CD that sometimes helps with sleeplessness....and I use similar at work to help the residents relax.

[Cherie]

I totally believe in positive thinking..it is amazing what you can achieve when you believe you can. If people dont understand my way of thinking I just say I am using that part of my brain that most people don't use.:D

[Melinda]

its something that i do believe it and would like to find out more about...

[Cackle]

I try to do it but my head refuses to turn off and so I sit there thinking about all the stuff I should be doing.

[sandydee]

Have done it a couple of years ago ......the closest I come now to taht sort of stuff is my relaxation cds ....I go to bed everynight to one :) I dont stay awake for long.:)

Oh :yes: - its remaining in that state/frame of mind that I have difficulty in, particularly when things are "crashing" in and around me :blink:

[2catscan]

No I couldn't do it, my mind is like a bee in a bottle.
