Meditation is one of my favorite things to do, I feel very rejuvinated afterwards. I usually do it whenever i get the chance.

Unfortunately, since I'm still only learning, I don't do it as often or well as I should like to.

I'm going to be honest here - I haven't started yet. I know I should, but I really am not sure if I'm at all ready. I have the weird feeling I'm going to find myself sobbing at the end of my first go at it...and I can't really say why. sweatdrop
My husband is leaning on me, though, and he says he'll have me meditating with him soon. 3nodding

Well, it's a good debate between how much I'd like to and how much I'm actually able to do.
Most often, it's for about an hour or so, until my parents have some sort of cosmic panic and feel the OCD need to disturb me. Happens when they're at work, I have to field calls all day.
Anyway, yeah. For about an hour a day. I wish it could be for hours and hours and hours.

As much as i want to, things keep coming up i.e. nosey parents, unexpect company, etc.

Unfortunately my house is rife with distractions so I have not meditated in quite a while. If I had the place and the time I would most likely do so for hours everyday. I always feel so refreshed afterwards, often times more so than I do after sleep.

I don't know how to meditate properly, I guess I should take lessons or something but I'm only 15, and it would seem stupid.

thecoolestluke I don't know how to meditate properly, I guess I should take lessons or something but I'm only 15, and it would seem stupid. Yeah, something like that for me, too. I'm 17. Also, you really can't go for more than a half hour or so in my house without either a phone or a parent bothering you. I have trouble relaxing in general, so I don't know how I would do at meditating.

To tell you the truth, there is no real "correct" way to meditate. The sitting posture that most of us use, the lotus and half lotus, are all in mimic of the Buddha when he first attained enlightenment. It is mostly out of tradition and dogma that we sit that way, than it is out of real teaching.
It does, however, contain the lesson of suffering from inaction. My feet go numb.
Anyway, I started meditating with a pile of pillows to sit on, and I could only do that for about fifteen minutes, half an hour if I was lucky. You don't need a zafu or zabuton to sit.
Just sit.

We don't meditate, we chant. o.o Would that be considered as the same thing? sweatdrop surprised

Meditation can involve chanting - personally, i find focussing on the bardo between thoughts too difficult (at least at the moment), and so I prefer to try chanting instead.

I meditate about once a week. I use it as a way to relieve the immense stress of high school.
