Do you practice Meditation?
November 30, 2015 at 11:48 pm
More specifically, how effective do you find it, what specifically do you do[if you feel like sharing]?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

My wife is a Buddhist of the atheist variety and meditates regularly. I occasional join in for moral support.

I don't do it very often anymore, but I still sometimes do it.
I find it fairly ineffective if it has any effect at all.
Seriously, a Weekly Yoga session is better then a Daily Meditation Session.
Just my 2 cents.

I do from time to time. I fin it pushes bad stuff aside. Kind of restructures the content in my brain so I can focus better and be less stressed.

I've tried it but I don't get it. I don't know if I was doing it wrong or doing it right but it had a different effect than I thought it should have or what.
I haven't tried it again since college.

I do mindfulness, which is pretty similar. Does that count for this poll? It's about taking myself away as far as possible to a totally peaceful and happy place. I've found that more effective than clearing my mind entirely.

Can't do it. My mind goes crazy. It's tough enough controlling myself when I have something else to focus on, sitting still not doing anything is a torture
