Anyone here meditate?

[ThomasSoerensen]

I recommend the cd course "Learn meditation in your car"

Om.

Didn't Dave Lister have a Number one hit with that when he personal bought several million copies?

...If so how long can you go without thinking?...

Some of the posters here? Many many years.

If I'm working on a problem, I may sit back for a few minutes and let my brain do the work in a non-"word"/non-image gestalt type of way - looking for the patterns. I suppose that also is a form of mediation - though not of the type of emptying your mind.

I find martial arts really good for meditating. I practice forms each morning and try and focus only on breathing and the movements. Do have a particularly restless mind though...

Yeah, I used to love doing kata for the same reason. Everyone else in my club used to hate it but it was probably my favorite aspect of training.

Since I have started doing Insanity training in the evenings I have spent my lunchtimes doing slow sword sword either outside or in an empty conferance room at lunchtime. My goal is to throw 1000 slow shots a week in addition to physical training.

With all this talk about religion I wondered if anyone here practiced meditation in any form?

If so how long can you go without thinking? I'm lucky if I can get about 10 seconds, but I'm working on it...

Yes, I started a few months ago following a holiday in the canaries. Very beneficial indeed. Keep trying and don't give up. I purchased several cd that contain a guided meditation from our local buddhist centre or try youtube for something similar.

with peace.

I dont, but would like to do it, feel it is something I would benefit from it but not really sure how to go about starting

When I used to do karate our chief instructor explained that many things were moving meditation and the sitting down doing nothing one was just one style.

After I come back from some good old fashioned full contact fighting I feel a lot more relaxed so maybe there is something in it.

I was taught TM many years ago - used regularly for a while, then got out of the habit.

I still use it for a quick few minutes in times of stress but find that CUK works just as well - oh the joys of the internet!

Russell can beat that, he's managed over two decades!
