Like you say, everyone knows that meditation is beneficial. And so the question is “If meditation is so good for you, why doesn’t everyone do it ?”
The problem is that, using traditional techniques, learning meditation is very difficult. In fact, I think the meditation ‘industry’ has shot itself in the foot by making out that learning to meditate is easy.
Using traditional methods, it’s very, very difficult. It can take many months – and probably years – of disciplined practice before you gain control of your mind and attain meditative states.
Fortunately, there are modern meditation techniques that are incredibly effective.

On the other hand, you may decide to go the traditional route. And that’s fine too.

i dont know how i feel about medition. for a long while ive thought it is probably a lovely and beneficial thing to do, but i also cant think of anything worse than sitting still and emptying your mind. i like the way i think of twenty random things a second and never spend very long concentrating on one thing, gives you the chance to experience more thoughts. but probably isnt healthy. to be honest – and i feel silly saying this – but im affraid to try meditation. has anyone else felt this?

After years of migraines, trying all sorts of medications, adjusting my diet and all that stuff . . . who would have known ten-fifteen minutes a day meditating would have cured it. Haven’t had a migraine in three years!
My doctor told me to give it a try.

I try to meditate when I can. It helps me to unwind when I’m feeling stressed and over-burdened with rubbish.

I’m unclear how it works and I’m sure that I’m practising meditation in a very superficial way.

However, it does work for me and I would definitely recommend it as way to relax and clear the mind.

Once one can begin to quieten the inner chatter; clarity and stillness decends like a quiet winter\’s morning.

Worry not about folding oneself into an esoteric position or following any particular chant.

You can become.

Sorry, just want to make a slight correction:

The ‘Aum/Om’ is the sound/vibration that is believed to have been the cause of the Universe forming (from what I gather). The resonance (if you like), that came from the absolute divine entity, to bring the matter of the Universe into material form, from the void.

Just in case anyone is considering ridiculing this idea completely, especially those who are soley of a scientific mind. Consider the frequencies that the scientific community have ‘discovered’ in their research.
Then perhaps, take into account the basis ‘String Theory’?
Isn’t that, in itself, based on a singular unified frequency vibration, of which everything is supposed to consist of and contain?

(Again, I know nothing… I’m just lil old me, so am probably wrong).

Whilst I don’t quite buy in to the totally trancendental/spirituality side of meditation I have no doubt that it as excellent relaxation tool for the mind and body and enables you to sort the clutter in your thoughts.

I used to go to a tai chi class where we would do a 5/10 minute meditation at the end of each class and also attended the same teachers self hypnosis/meditation workshop. Although I don’t use them regularly the techniques I learned there have been very helpful.

I think how helpful it is does depend on your core personality though. I know someone who meditates pretty much every day but is still rather highly strung and self-involved whereas another person I know does not do any and has such a calming and giving aura about them because that is just who they are.

The ‘Aum’ chant is used by some because it is believed that this is the word/sound that was used to create the Universe.
There are also (in some practices) 4 different stages that one can reach whilst meditating. Each one is a further progression into a state of freeing the mind from the eathly bindings of the body… closer to a point in which you are beyond the material and enter spiritual realm of existance.

I like it when I go all tingly
And before someone says it… I am fairly certain that I don’t have a problem with my circulation and I know it’s not a mild form of stroke.

(However, all of the above could be wrong. I don’t know everything/anything really).

Pax, amor et concordia.
