Is anyone interested in a discussion about meditation/meditating?

Alternately, we could talk about our medication but that would be a different thread.

So, what do YOU want to talk about, Grandma?

Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique, such as focusing their mind on a particular object,

thought or activity, to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state.

So yeah, one sits or stands and focus on something.

I focus on certain states of mind in a more or less systematic fashion.

What do you focus on?

I guess meditation is more in line with the ethos of the Forum!

Hi Arch - a simple and profound question indeed.  I do four variations of mindfulness meditation.  I focus on my breath using mala beads, I focus on my body with yoga stretches, I focus on returning to/being in to the moment sometimes seemingly hundreds of times a day, and I do what my teacher once called "folding laundry meditation" - focusing on the whole experience of whatever activity I'm engaged in.

 

How about you - what states of mind? What sort of more or less systematic fashion?
