What are your meditation techniques?

[Coelho]

I've began to use these methods while sitting in the bottem of the shower.

Try it, it's fantastic xD

Thats a good idea! I would think i am under an waterfall... and that would be an excellent place to meditate!
(It reminds me the training of Dragon Shiryu in the cartoon Saint Seiya... )

I also like your idea of drawing energy from specific sources. i was just trying to draw from the general "fabric of space-time" if you will, but I'm going to try it your way as it'll provide a more specific source.

Well... its not my idea... i did read it in that link that Inferius posted...

And i dont know if it does any difference from where you extract the energy... like... if you extract "pure" energy, it wouldnt matter from where it comes, as it is just energy.

But if you extract somewhat different, or if there is several "kinds" of "energy" (if any of my physics teachers heard me talking like this... they would be VERY disappointed... ), then would be nice to try to feel if there is any difference, like, the energy from water should be more "cool", the energy from the sun more "hot", the energy from the Earth more "earthly"... and so... much like the four elements theories (air/water/fire/earth)...

Or it also may be a complete absurd, but, anyway, i think its worth a try...

That's what I really love about meditation, it has infinte potential for strengthening any part of the brain. So many people just think of the techniques and what you can accomplish with them, but I've realized that you can focus extact types of thinking or perception and significantly strengthen that part of the mind.

And i would add that if you can keep your mind in a state of inner silence, if you can shut up your internal talk at will, then the path of Power is open for you... you have not idea (or do?) of all things that are possible... like Inferius said, what we call "magic" is real, if you know how to do it. You, that have a large experience in meditation, alterated states of mind and so, would actually became an wizard like the original Gandalf the Grey...

Have you ever did read some book from Carlos Castaneda? Or tried something like Astral Projection, Out of Body experiences and such? I think you would like both... it would be very useful for you.

Speaking of which, I had one method that I've only tried a few times but I may continue. I was attempting to increase my ability to multi-task, split my attention between multiple things. I did this by meditating while picture a single light in a black void flying around randomly. I'd focus on it till it had my attention 100%, then I'd add a second light flying around and focus on them both, then a third, a fourth, and so on. Pushing it as hard as I can to focus on as many at once as I can. Something to try anyway.

Damn... thats crazy, man! I cant even visualize a black void... adding lights to it is completly impossible for me... anyway... i think its a very good idea for training the multi-tasking... it may also be related to the way that martial arts practitioners train for fighting several enemies at once...

Anyway, nice techniques, and lets keep it going. Always its nice to find someone with the same interests and talk about it! :thumbsup:
