It's like that picture of those Tibetan monks setting themselves on fire in protest, and just sitting there in meditation.

Word though.

btw, for position... I go half lotus. I cant get into a lotus yet... Not flexible enough -_- lol.



There is a lot of different kinds... The one I started out with was like what apexx described. Just sit down on the ground, maybe on a pillow. Your back should be relatively straight, but you shouldnt be trying to make it straight, it should just sit like that. Put your hands in your lap, then concentrate on breathing in and out. Focus on your breath, and if another though arises dont try to suppress it, just let it rise and fall and return to your breath.

At first you might get bored after like 5 mins, but once you get a bit better at it it becomes a joy. Remember though, that breathing one is like the basics, thats by no means the limits of meditation.

check it man it's easy. for a standing meditation, you stand facing a blank wall, preferrably with light to your back or anyhere else other than in your face. start by locking your fingers with your palms down and exhale. then with your arms kept straight, raise your locked fingers in a slow arc as you inhale deeply and fill your lungs to their capacity as your palms face upward - raise your face to match, and inhale a little more.

hold your breath!

then slowly exhale as you bring your hands back down to their original position and release your hands. This relieves the tension in your arms and chest as you fill your muscles with oxygen. From here, you're ready to meditate.

facing this blank wall, stretch your arms out to your sides with your thumbs facing straight up and wiggle your fingers. you want to keep your thumbs on the edges of your preripheral vision, looking at both of them without moving your eyes. this will relax your eyes and allow you to enter a meditative state. your eyes are to remain unfocused as your mind is silent. your only thoughts should be on having none. if a thought entes your mind you let it dissolve to nothing on this blank canvas that is your mind. continue deep breathing with your silent mind and unfocused eyes - you may notice various textures on your wall are unable to be seen and you begin to experience your mind opening. lather rinse repeat. when you decide to come out close your eyes for a few moments and open, you're back in your reality in a differnet state of mind.

much clearer with illustrations of course, and I hope this helped.

I do it occasionally.

It relaxes me like nothing else can. It's a beautiful experience, I've been trying to release my Chakra, I'm not really at that level yet but it's very pleasing to try.
