I've been trying to get into meditation, and adopt a much more healthy, relaxed life in general. *sigh* but I seldome seem to be able to settle down or stay in it for long, and there's always so much noise in my house. I'll keep trying though, and I've started excercising so that'll help I'm sure.

anyway, I just thought everybody could share their experiences, advice, and help each other out in general with their knowledge .

To start off, I've found the biggest success from a technique I learned in yoga. we lie in the corpse pose (on your back, hands at your side), and one specific area at a time, I take in a deep breath and as I let it out, I let that part feel very heavy and relaxed. I do it twice for each part, even for the smallest area's like the wrist, SOOOoooo relaxing. once I'm done all the areas, I just keep the focus on my body staying in it's state. also, you need to do your best to not think. don't worry about thinking or not, just focus on your body, and stay aware of your whole self. if you start thinking about stuff, just put the thoughts aside, dont' worry about the success of it, just do what needs to be done. oh, and it doesn't work if you put a pillow under your head, or do it in a bed, then your body just wants to go to sleep, and meditation is not sleep (generally) .

*phew* I'll stop going on, share if you'd like
