Can people give me real stories of deep meditation? and can i have tips for meditation? As soon as i find myself empty minded my body goes numb and tingley, is this normal?

Everyone experiences meditation differently. If you do not currently have a meditation guide, perhaps you should join one of the many discussion forums and communicate with others about their experiences. I don’t go numb and tingly, but I lose total awareness of my body — almost as if it doesn’t exist, so perhaps your "sensations" are a prelude to this…or you’re pinching a nerve in your meditation position.

I understand that one must start with very basic meditations on mindfulness, single focus and being at one with the self etc. However, I have heard that once becoming master at meditation, you can reach higher levels of consciousness and get to basically the form of self. Does anyone know what this means? What is the highest level of meditations?

There is no such highest or lowest levels in meditations. This distinction between the “effortful” and the “effortless” points to the contrast between skills employed during the state and traits developed as practice progresses.

Meditation is a mind-body practice in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). There are many types of meditation, most of which originated in ancient religious and spiritual traditions. Generally, a person who is meditating uses certain techniques, such as a specific posture, focused attention, and an open attitude toward distractions. Meditation may be practiced for many reasons, such as to increase calmness and physical relaxation, to improve psychological balance, to cope with illness, or to enhance overall health and well-being.

The practices alone decides. Full focus, full attention, and effort makes good in meditation.

My wife is interested in going on a retreat for meditation to balance her life more. The one she finds most common is that of Vipassana Meditation. I’ve heard good things and bad things, like it’s cult-ish and controlling. I’ve also heard that it’s not the best type of meditation to practice for your 1st retreat. Is there a type of meditation retreat that you can recommend for someone’s first time, or should I just go with Vipassana. Thanks!

Try the flotation tank meditation… God 4 beginners

What are some meditation songs where the person talks to you and music in the background, I know a Sylvia Browne does it. Any on youtube?

"Row row row your boat" or "99 bottles of beer on the wall"

I am interested in meditation for the altered state of awareness that many claim to experience because of it. I am a Buddhist but I am also a psychonaut always looking for different ways to alter consciousness and explore my mind. From what I’ve heard, the altered state provided by meditation can be very profound and insightful, and this is "right up my alley," so to speak. Can anyone describe it and/or give tips on how to reach it?

Any information regarding this would be much appreciated.

I have been learning a lot about meditation and sending love and light from a friend on an extended trip. When I get home it will be from a 3 month separation from my boyfriend and I want to have a new beginning where we could do an active or activity based meditation program together. Suggestions?

metta/loving kindness meditation
first link is booklet
second is video(poor sound quality first 30sec) intro to metta
much longer metta videos if this is the path you want to follow.
i’ve studied most meditation practices and practiced several for long periods of time. this is one of my favorites.
or third link might be the most appealing to you and your boyfriend.
you decide. they all go together anyway.

I asked earlier what claustrophobics do when they have to take a plane. Medication and alcohol being out of the solutions. Note: for me boarding and disembarking look like a nightmare.

One answer was about meditation. As I am not familiar with this, I have to ask. On what to meditate ? And Can I learn this quick ? My trip is scheduled in 2 weeks.

Thanks to all for answering.

Meditate on me babby

I just started meditating a week ago. I’ve been reading And trying to find out more about it. I hear it is effective So I want to keep doing it to see some results.
I’m doing breath meditation. Can anyone help me out to give me some insight, or valuable advice for thease so called journies of the mind.

Since meditation is stopping the mind and transcending time, don’t think of it with a time factor, or that you’re going to get somewhere or achieve something. You already are what you are trying to achieve and what mediation is doing to getting you through illusions, which is your mental images. Once you see through, or stop, your mental images, time no longer is a factor. You and reality simply Is.

I like to "meditate" before doing yoga; that way the motions are pure and relaxing. I have been listening to Buddhist Zen and Japanese Zen (videos on youtube) I found yesterday that doing this made me so relaxed and… honestly just a happier person. My husband even complimented on me being in a better mood before I even mentioned doing the yoga and meditation.

**** If you have any advice or recommendations feel free to let me know.

Maybe what kind of incense are good and candles? anything really (: thank you!

Music closet to nature,ocean/water,birds,wind,rain etc,white candles,and lavender incense..
