Anyone care to share their meditation routine?

I’ve been doing this a long time. I’m going to save you some time with tons and tons of research and tell you that mindfulness meditation is probably the most effective and beneficial.

Most people will tell you to “think of nothing” when you’re meditating. Not only is that impossible, it’s completely useless. It’s an idea people have developed to “separate themselves from reality”, which once again isn’t truly possible without the use of drugs.

Watch yourself, you’re always thinking. It just depends what about. The thoughts don’t shut off, you just don’t notice them. Even when you say “think of nothing”, you’re thinking of thinking nothing. It doesn’t stop.

Instead mindfulness aims to draw your attention to the here and now. It will increase your ability to deal with stress, anger, along with loads of other things. Most importantly, it will teach you focus.

Meditation isn’t what most people think, and mindfulness is actually something you have to work at everyday. I have progressed immensely the past 6 years in my practice of it, but the work never ends.

Go once in the morning, once at night. Start with 5 minutes and add 5 seconds to it everyday.

Since it’s going to take some understanding, here’s a great teacher.
