I first tried meditating in high school. I've done it on and off since but was never able to really get into it until this past year. I got started with an app that walked me through guided mindfulness meditations and I found that it really improved my mental health. Since then I've been trying some different types of meditation. I did a lot of meditation on the breath, some body awareness ones, dabbled with mantra meditation, and lately I've been enjoying doing some guided metta meditations.
Do you have any experiences with anything meditation related you would like to share?
I do, been practicing since adolecense. I use it to focus and reduce stress. Also I have internalized it to the point where I often automatically or subconsciously slip into a shallow or deeper level of meditation when needed & without thinking about it.
Past six months I have been in the gym a couple times a week to strengthen my legs (had surgery a couple years ago). The past couple months I started working better breath control, focus, ect... into the workout.
Have also been looking for a partner for exploring Tantric sex or incorporating sex and meditative session. No takers yet, but it has made mastrubation more interesting.

Meditation has saved my sanity many times.
"If one does not meditate then one becomes bat shit crazy."
"I do not meditate."
"Therefore, I am bat shit crazy."
Now I understand how I got this way. Jeez Louise...
Metitation or medication. It is a choice........I chose metitation.......it can become addictive but a good addiction
Probably not what most people would call "real" meditation. But I absolutely try to make time to be alone,preferably in the woods near my house (which I call the forest even though it is only a couple of acres are trees on either side of the stream that runs through them). There I just close my eyes and lose myself in the sounds of the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. Relaxes me and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to chill out almost daily there.
meditation is a good thing
I practice medication. Is that close enough?
Had been for a Zen course. After a lot of patience, I did manage to get into the silence. when I resumed my normal routine, everything went for a toss. Occasionally, I do manage to relish the Silence.
I've tried, and failed.
I go into myself very often, working my thoughts and self exploring, so that's where my mind tends to go whenever I try meditating. There's no stillness in my mind while being still.
I do believe, and feel like, my yoga practice is full of meditative moments though. It's one of the few activities that makes me easily slip into complete mindfulness.
I'll keep trying, now and then, but I just don't think I do it "right".

Yes I do, every morning. If it's dry I sit in the garden ,feel the connection to nature and the peace from letting my mind slow down.
Its amazingly inspiring and really soothes after a rough night.
