How Do You Meditate? Where does a beginner start? How do you do it?

Seems like everyone has their own way... I love it! I am sure there is no formal way.

I do the Trick/Walking meditation. Do you think Running could be applied as a meditation? Also, what about visualizing meditation? Is it true that there more then hundred kinds of meditations?

Thank you so much! I think I just need to get a Master/Instructor? As this kind of practice is dangerous? Or so the research I have done states.

What a beautiful thread! I been running for a few years now. I usually run 3 times a week. I run anywhere from 1 to 4 miles a day. Usually, I get about 10 miles of running a week. I also walk in between and do park work outs to keep my body strong. I did start meditating hopefully, that will help balance me out a bit. It seems running to much can mess up your knees which can make it difficult to walk down the road.

Bumpin'

I have to bump this! This was an amazing thread.

Interesting thoughts on meditations. How often do you practice it. What kind of meditation do you practice. Do you use music when meditating? Thanks!

Thank you!

No, I have not asked that question before. Yes, I do look through the search button, before I post my questions.

Thank you so much! Why thank you! How can I download it? I'm using Google Chrome!

True! Thank you so much. That was quite helpful. Any basic introduction to meditation, tai chi and qi gong?

What about: http://www.aldaily.com

Thank you both!

No, that was awesome! Live your life in moderation...

Where are you located? I would like to take a few classes. How much is the cost? I do not have much, therefore, not sure how I can the the class and the teacher.

Good points. I would like to say that each person has a different way of meditating. I have been working my style out myself. I do eat right and do run/walk/meditate and started practicing Tai Chi. But many people are saying Qi Gong is better for health? I was thinking Tai Chi, as that has the Martial Arts in it?

What about Tai Chi? Can you do that with Tai Chi? Regular Meditation? Oh, don't be shy:) I wonder if it could be done with music? Meditation music? What about chanting?

Now, that was truly beautiful! It is that simple. I'm coming to realize that all of the knowledge possessed through books, internet, teachers, gurus and etc, is all pure crap! In reality, we have all the knowledge we need in us. It is really that simple. We just need to learn how to tap into it.

That was quite beautiful! Literally, that helped me a bit. Thank you! If you have more to add, please do!

That was beautiful! Please tell me more:) The whole: In B.K. Frantzis' book "Relaxing Into Your Being" there's a section in which he tells the story of Hui Neng, who basically cultivated by doing chores." That was amazing!

Thank you! To connect to my higher self? To relax my mind... To improve my mind... to improve my health... That was the best response I could ever receive:) Everything is meditation:)

My questions are: 1. Is it better for a beginner to start with Tai Chi or Qi Gong? 2. Do it in the morning or night? 3. Self teaching for beginners? 4. Can I combine Tai Chi and Qi Gong? 5. Good sources for Tai Chi and Qi Gong? 6. I'm using Youtube to start with Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Is this a good a good beginning? That is all I have for now. Thank you! I will add more to this.

THank you! I think I am going to start with meditating and breathing. Is this a correct way to approach?
