Meditation helps in many ways, but some techniqes are more specialised in 1 aspect than the other. For example Void Meditation helps with increasing your overall awareness, amongst other things like relaxing and clearing your mind. Focal Meditation especially helps with getting more focused and such. Since I meditate I'm more calm, can fall asleep way faster (before it was like 30 minutes now almost within 1), also I'm more focused and aware. There are alot more things in which meditation can help. You can ask the member ShockWave as he was the leader of the meditation course on the DVA in which I participated or you can just google it |

Can you list some more types of meditation? |

It clears your mind and allows you to focus on one subject. Like I say a lot, confidence helps A LOT when coming to lucid dreaming. You have to believe you CAN do it and lucid dreaming is easy and it will be! If you meditate on it and focus on how you will lucid dream it greatly increases your chances of having a lucid dream. |
|
I would think that it makes it easier for you to control your dreams, because if you find it really easy to clear your mind, then you'd find it easy to change something in the dream. |

Thanks for the answers everyone ^-^ |
|
I'm not sure why or how it helped me, but it helped. |
|
Lolwut.
Meditation has helped to raise my self-awareness and awareness of what's around me - for instance, I can hear the tiniest of sounds that I wasn't previously able to hear (I wasn't capable of focusing enough before), and really be "in the moment". All those benefits are great for lucid dreaming, and I'm sure there are more! |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

Yea meditation can help take your mind of things going on in life as well, and just help you to relax, and just... be. |

I've noticed through meditation I've been able to focus more as well, combined with ADA. I now notice how my body feels, I see more detail in objects, I see more scenery of the places I'm in, I hear things I never used to and I now pick up on slight smells from around me. This helps create the desired effect of ADA, being able to tell when you're dreaming simply because it feels different. |

Thanks, and how do you meditate? I mean you personally. Do you just sit like this or do you do more? |

I meditate like this: At first I get into a comfortable position (anything but lying down because this makes you fall asleep) and start to count my breaths. I do this till I reach 30. It doesn't matter if your mind wanders as long as you keep getting back when you notice it. You can also focus on a image in your mind or a spot on your body. Whatever feels good for you is fine. This is Focal meditation. What I do isn't recommended for beginners (it took me about 4 weeks of practice) because I chain multiple techniques together. |

I practice a form of visual meditation to attain altered consciousness (including lucid dreaming) . I have been doing this for years and would highly recommend it. |

You can meditate in whatever position you're comfortable, however, lying down is often avoided as you may fall asleep! ^_^ |
|

|
I choose to do meditation on my back laying down,it helps center me, relax, and boost energy all at the same time Its gd for ld's 2 lol. namaste. |

"when you fall unconscious, what your mind expresses is a dream.
When you are aware, what your mind expresses is creativity. It creates your life.
When you are in a higher state of consciousness, it not only creates the life of whatever you want, but also on whom ever you want". -LifeBlissFoundation
Just dont fall asleep |
|
I don't really see how meditation helps anything. If it's just clearing your mind and expanding your awareness temporarily then hell, I don't have to sit still for an hour to do that. |
|
Don't quote me on it, but I think the goal of meditation is that you feel that lucidity constantly. The idea is that the results are not supposed to be temporary, but trained so that they are permanent. |
|
Lolwut.
I'm aware of myself most of the day. Maybe that's why I get lucids a lot. I have trained myself before in a form of meditation, but I don't need to sit still to do it. Infact if I sit still and close my eyes it's harder. It's called shutting off the internal dialogue. It's pretty difficult but I can stop my thoughts for a little while. |
|
Damn, well, I'd say your lucky |
|
Lolwut.
How exactly do you meditate? I mean, what do you think about and stuff...? |
|
I am a proud Christian <3
Through meditation, you can become familiar with the way your mind works. You can learn to manipulate your own thoughts, your state of mind, and your state of consciousness. |
|
Yes, when you meditate you change from external focus to internal, exactly the same way you do it when you dream. |
