I try to meditate a half hour each day - don't always do it, but I try. I'm not terribly adept at it, and I haven't had any of the profound experiences I often read of others having while meditating, but I do enjoy it.

1. I use simple mind-clearing by concentrating on my breath and "observing" my thoughts as they come and go... not allowing myself to become immersed in them. The goal is to quiet my inner voice complete.

2. Meditation does a lot of things for me.

- In a very practical sense, it divides my day because I use it when I transition from one occupation to a different one each day - it prepares me for a totally different experience and the requirements that go along with it.

- It is very relaxing, and leaves me with a lasting, profound sense of peace and contentment.

- It sort of "wipes the slate" of my mind in preparation for creativitiy and coming up with new ideas that aren't just rehashes.

- I am using it to explore in the same way I use Lucid Dreaming... in an attempt to sort of divorce my consciousness from my physical body and animal brain to see what happens.

3. I'm not on chat very often, but if the opportunity arises, I'm always open to friendly discussions!

I meditate almost every day. I, like PJ, focus on my breath moatly, and sometimes i focus on a small candle in an effort to completely quiet my inner voice. I also do some guided meditations, and have recently gotten a few CD's with meditations on them.

Several times I have tried to meditate while in the lucid dream state. This isn't something I've had profound success with, but I think there's a lot of interesting avenues to be explored by combining lucidity in the dream state and meditation.

I tryed to meditate by lying down on my bed and facing the ceiling belly uup and closeing my eyes. Then i would try to control my breathing but i fell asleep, that was just the other day. i did it for the first time because i heard if you can control your mind while consious you can control while sleeping. Clear to say that i fell asleep and the meditating did not work for me. Maybe next time i won't meditate in such a comfortable posistion.

I use vipassana, as in I watch my breath. I observe it going in and coming back letting me relax to a state where I become aware of my subconscious thoughts as well as my conscious ones, it feels a little bit like a whirlwind clutter of songs, images and things I heard people say. As I let that settle it eventually starts to get harder to keep the concentration up so I give up until next time.

[spoiler]I guess the most important part of meditation is letting everything go and just watching your mind become calmer and more translucent.[/spoiler]

Yeah its hard to tie me down for a group but if you don't mind sudden disappearances for long periods of time I'm down.
