I second this opinion, because meditation is such a broad and encompassing subject that can be highly individualistic! |

It's an interesting subject and there are many techniques and many experiences. Would be nice to have them all in one place, along with maybe some tutorials. |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

I totally agree with all that is said in and by this thread so far. And this is my vote for Bobbelhats great idea! |
|
You are not your thoughts...
It's a good idea. There are different types of meditation and it's a great topic. |
|
Great idea, definitely agree. |
|
I agree. Meditation and lucid dreaming share many similiarities. I believe at advanced levels they're the same experience. |
|
^^ What he said. |
|
I'm not sure, at the very least it should be given a trial run to see if there's sufficient interest. |
|
Keep in mind that this is a Lucid Dreaming forum, so the main ontopic forums are for dreaming and sleep. However I think it would be best suited as a subforum like you also mentioned. |
|
Actually, I think it would be redundant. Take a look at the description for the Inner Sanctum. |
|
Oh derp I forgot about Inner Sanctum. And I don't really know enough about meditation to make a decision as to whether or not meditation belongs in there or on its own. I mean, I thought it was just like brain yoga, and not a supernatural thing. |
|
Perhaps we could take it out of inner sanctum and make it a subforum right next to it. |

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
That sounds pretty good to me NyxCC. That's totally doable if y'all don't think inner sanctum stuff would end up bleeding into a meditation subforum a lot. |
|
I would like this forum/sub forum to exist! |

I agree with Nyx--meditation does seem slightly out of place in the above list. Also, many members seem interested in meditation but are not sure how to do it. I think that for the most part people wanting to meditate will be coming from on-topic (though I could be wrong about that), so that would theoretically keep discussions of paranormal subjects low or non-existent. |

If this forum comes to life, it's probably important to distinguish 3-4 terms that appear to be sometimes thrown around together like they are the same thing, and that end up rambling this bridge between lucid dreaming and meditation: |
|
Good call Zoth. |

Well, you can make your not-so-spiritual meditation subforum. But you can never actually separate the world of meditation from spirituality. Just saying, those topics will eventually make their way into the meditation forum. After all, a very popular form of meditation is chakra based meditation. Its all over youtube. |
|
I guess the same could be said about lucid dreaming in general, how to separate the scientific version of LDing from the spiritual version(s)?? |

From what I remember, what happened was members were making spiritual related threads in the BD section. Even though those threads had nothing to do with dreaming. People didnt want to use the R/S forum because that place is just hell. So the compromise was the inner sanctum. |
|
Hmm. Thanks for the history there juroara. That helps me see the real issue: |

I may be volunteering for this, but I would love to see a stickied "Meditation 101" post where we cover myths, misconceptions, and how to get started with a list of online resources as well as finding local stuff. |

Yes. Meditation as a sub-forum please. |
|
Seems like enough interest in this to start one. I'll make it after work. |
