Meditation...

People are confused for too long here about Meditation.

The sole purpose of meditation is clear all the thought ( in control or out of control ) of the mind and to do that the best way is to concentrate on something that requires as least thinking as possible. There is no such thing as magical Enlightenment as we think it may be.

When one meditates for 10 minutes ( for starters ) and the mind becomes compeletly deviod of any thought; there is left a brain with awesome processing power and no thought to think on. This is what I call as the state of Enlightenment. Its nothing magical, In this state whatever you do , U get complete processing power of your brain and hence U can think like no non meditated person can. No wonder when average people first met such people for the first time, they must have thought of them as Enlightened.

Any more questions are Welcomed.

I understand what you mean, but is this not just terminology?;

Some say we access the unused power of the brain, some say our higher selves, some the sub conscious and some externalise this as god. But whether they know it or not aren't all these people really saying the same thing?

Ya, Some say it blindly, some say it logically.
 
Meditation doesn't become amazing overnight, you have to work at it, practice clearing your mind, and relaxing your body. If try and feel your third eye in the centre between your eyes, you might feel something. I find that when I meditate my body takes over and my limbs move by themselves, slowly, inch by inch. It's really strange, am I normal? Lol, just kidding. I think that everyone will experience meditation in a different an unique way, which suits them as a person.

Give it a go people! :)

I hope some day you will see from your third eye that there is no such thing as a third Eye and it was all a waste of time.

Don't attempt it when you are drowsy.:D Running on the spot for a minute or two and then stretching the muscles at the back of the thighs for a few minutes before sitting meditation will help a lot.

Meditation is not a state of relaxation - sleep is a state of relaxation. Nor should it be a state of tension or restlessness.
Ideally, it should be a state of effortless stillness.

I really don't know how to word this so I'll word it the best I can and still get my question out.

Ummm... I've been meditating lately. I just sit on my bed with it quiet and I go into deep thought. I was wondering are there any techniques or anything ya'll do while meditating that helps you along or makes you more relaxed?

There, I think I worded that well enough.

There are many forms of yoga. It is important to remember what yoga means, "union with God". All the different techniques are there to guide us to silence. Using a sleep mask and ear plugs will help you to experience outer silence. That's when the real fun begins. Remember, the average person can keep their mind silent for six seconds. The best technique I have found for silencing the mind after using different yoga exercises to balance the energy body is to simply mentally say "sush" to the mind when it begins to talk. With daily practice you will be able to keep your mind silent for longer periods of time. This is when you begin to experience true yoga.

zion/ try to build your own place in your mind it does not matter what it looks like or where it is, it is all up to you, it can be deep under water, or in space, there is no trouble getting there ever, when you meditate, you can go anywhere any place and do anything, just relax, find a comfortable place quite calm. try sitting on the ground, and feeling the vibrations, through your body, then drift off to your place, if you fall asleep set a watch alarm for fifteen mins, then gradually extend the time over a few weeks, five hours of meditation a day really brings you back to life, also breathing right,. in martial art a master can breath four times a miniute, one breath every fifteen seconds, try to breath one breath every seven seconds, for a few weeks then extend the breaths, most humans dont use there full lung capacity,but when you do, and you are in a state of meditation, you are not bound to anything. you can even fly :)

And now for something really different! *__-
For any interested in mandala meditation, I have stumbled upon some interesting mandala! Even if you aren't into mandala, you will not be dissappointed. This stuff is intense (transportational!)! For 'your' mandala, just scroll through the page until you see something that 'touches' you with its 'depths'...
Peace...
