Any of you DFans meditate at all? My uncle meditates daily and seems very at peace with himself and God (he's Catholic). I've been thinking about trying this out. What do you guys think. Just discuss it and post thoughts feelings about it in here.
I only do it when I'm pooing. It's the only time anyone should do it.
OMG - dude you crack me up.
Anyway, here is a similar thread for some referencing: Meditation

Smiling is infectious.
Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
I'm an evil atheist, but I find hiking quite meditative, just listening to the sounds around you, and having lots of time to just think about things while doing it. After a very stressful period I just love to go for a long hike.
lol evil athiest? No such thing! Anyway I also find hiking/fishing kinda meditative. I just really like nature though
I'm not sure if this counts, but I'm a paranoid maniac when I drive, so I whisper an amorphous prayer to whatever deity may exist every single time I take a turn, merge on to a ramp, start my car, and pull out of a busy parking lot.
This is not an exaggeration.
I really hate driving, so it's like a split second of calm before the, well, storm. Of traffic.

The irony (or coincidence? you choose! :D) is I did and that's how I got in my first accident I get too carried away with music... I kind of start conducting it. Not good while your driving.
I meditate so I can have more Ki energy and Kamehameha more.
That is a very noble goal my friend. Just don't turn supersaiyan or earth is toast.
Meditation is mistakenly associated with religion a lot of the time. So am pleased to read all your ways of meditating...ya even you Siaynoq.
The concept of meditation is being at peace with oneself and your surrounding. What you'll be looking forward eventually to is sort of 'extrapolate' this peace to normal routine and daily life.
And there are quite a few ways to meditate. Some techniques focus more your breathing rhythm (actually all of them do that to some extent) while others put more emphasis on clearing the mind and achieving some form of neutrality.
The last thing I read is that posture contributes a lot to your meditation state... So am kind of learning myself though I do practice a bit of meditation.
I totaled my first car (whole front) and messed up the other's bumper or whatever a bit (yeah, I suck at car terminology). I'm now working off paying off my third car, I totaled the last one two months ago in another accident. I think some people just shouldn't drive (cough me cough).
Okay, way off topic. Other than what I mentioned earlier, I don't really consider myself a "meditator". I mean, I've participated in "moments of silence" of patriotic holidays (Memorial Day, etc.), or the moment of silence we normally have on 9/11, and I guess that could count, but nothing like opening Chakra points or whatever or anything.

Don't worry, there's nothing like opening chakra points...Just being at peace.
Oh btw I hate driving too. Because I find it so boring. I'll always get distracted and lack of attention is not very good especially when other drivers want to try some complex manoeuvre and expect you to understand them...
Edit- Never crashed yet. My awesome reflexes are just awesome.:P
My suggestion for peaceful driving is listening to a talkshow or somethin. Been driving for about... 6 months and funny talkshows are 10x better than blaring music. Perfect record might I add...
Lol @ Chakira points
Nah when I did it today I just lit a incense and kinda cleared my head, just thought of Bliblical stuff, it was actually quite relaxing.
I probably should meditate, but I have too much of "I am wasting time" whenever I'm not doing something specific... even if it's something like reading a forum, I just have to DO something... lol
I'm alot like Equinox actualy. (o.O Kinda creepy? (Lol, I kid Equinox! :P) )
No, but seriously, I don't meditate all that at all. :/ The only times I would do what people call meditation would be like Siaynoq says, on a toilet, or when I get pissed off and go walking for 10 or 15 miles. :/
I always wanted to sit and empty my head and all that, but I always have something that needs done. Hell, as I type this I'm doing two other things. x.x
I meditate in a sense. I take time to practice breathing exercises and clear my mind so that I can focus on my goals. It can take anywhere from 1 minute to an hour .
