QUOTE(pnkwitchie @ Sep 16 2006, 12:43 PM) I mostly meditate when I am in an extremely stressful sitution because it definately helps to clear my head and focus on one problem at a time. I wouldn't say it is a major part of my life because I only do it occasionally. Maybe for 15 minutes when I think the problems at hand are stressing me out too much. More meditation = fewer moments of stress. You can take vatamin C when you have a cold, or you can make sure to get plenty of Vit.C all the time, and get fewer colds. See? peace

I meditate to improve my spiritual and astral sense, to strengthen the parts of my mind which have ceased development due to the materialistic world, to have quiet time to connect with the spirits, for improving my willpower, for better concentration, for better visualisation, working better with energy (kundalini and prana), to come more intune with the chakras of the body, practice astral and etheric projection... And I also have one meditation I do where I think of myself as being a certain animal and try to live "as that animal", this seems to help me with empathy and other ways, I created it for myself.
All in all, I meditate 1-2 hours daily, every night, i've disciplined myself to do it every night. If I miss a night of meditation I become rather depressed, and this is due to my consistancy. Though when I get better with my meditations and need to go on to more challenging practices i'll end up meditating more hours per day.

I do meditation to find peace on my being,ballance the emotional, mental and physical states,charge my body with energy and strengthen my being,calm mind and body,do the alighment on my back just to keep my self disciple and do the daily service of my microcosmic channeling system. It is a personal ritual sacred time that I spend every day to communicate with my inner self,and awake the divine forces wich I need for help. I meditate to prepare the spirit for my prayers with runes,and to substane the sexual energy to spiritual energy. I meditate to make my senses more sensitive by awakening conciousnes.. I started meditate daily twice before 3 years on tantra by doing a special meditative procces ,imagine a vision,focusicing my mind at the point between the eyes,chant the chackra mantras and their bijas while focusing and concetrating on the element of each one of the first five chackras,the color, the shape ,and the special ability of each one...
Recently I quited with tantra and do the backty technique focusing the anahata,sometimes chant some special runes or mantras and that depends on what I need to ask and with whom deity I want to ativate its force to help me for a special reason...

QUOTE(Sarena @ Jul 1 2007, 10:56 PM) It's extremely difficult to shut down your thoughts.
Well... it's more discipline than anything else. Discipline in a relaxed state rather than a forced one. My biggest problem is the difficulty in getting music out of my head so that I can meditate. I typically have a cranial jutebox thing going on most of the time and it's pretty disruptive when trying to meditate. If I don't have the music going in my head I can calm my mind and "shut down my thoughts." This is what I do to clear my thoughts of even the music, and I'm sure you can use it to clear your thoughts too: I cross my legs in meditation, close my eyes, and say "AHHHHHHHH" for a full breath as long as I can without forcing it. It may sound funny at first, but the constant droning serves as white noise that disrupts regular thinking, and in my case, helps drown out the music after a few minutes. Once you quiet your thoughts initially, slowly stop the chanting and try to hold the quietness in your mind for as long as you can. If you start thinking about anything, and I mean ANYTHING, even about the darkness behind your eyelids, begin chanting again, slowly increasing the volume. After a couple of minutes, slowly work the chant out of your meditation and repeat. Once you get good at quieting your mind, 20 minutes can seem like 20 seconds.
