Meditation.

[Fraggin]

Meditation can be a powerful aspect of a person's life. Once people learn how and find value in true meditation, they often wonder how they ever lived without it. I find that true happiness, self-acceptance and inner peace can only come from the mind disciplined by meditation. What many of you seek in lucid dreaming can be obtained from true meditation. I feel that the two are very closely intertwined considering the same type of brain wave patterns are produced for a person in a state of lucid dreaming and meditation. So, I just wanted to see where meditation ranks in this community with a poll. Thanks

The high performance mind by Anna Wise Is a very very good read that explains meditation in a logical approach. She describes the different brainwave patterns that our brains use for different aspects of our lives and shows how they compare to those of meditation. She also has some information on guided fantasy and ideas on making your own audio recording for guided fantasy for meditation. I highly reccomend it. The book has the potential to change one's life.

Meditation is awesome. I am not sure if meditation helps with lucid dreaming, but I do think sensory deprivation might help with it because it helps you spend a lot of time contemplating on your own consciousness and recognizing the nature of your mental images.

Perhaps nothing is more important to Lucid Dreaming than the ability to Meditate. I had learned Meditation under a Guru from Madras India. After about a year of studying under him he came to me in a dream and told me that even a few seconds of Meditation in a Dream is worth thousands of hours of waking Meditation. I found that statement to be very true. When I go Lucid I now make it a point to center myself and bring up the Energy by first intoning an AUM and then meditating for only a few seconds, which, as the Guru said, is quite long enough.
