Does anyone meditate? If so, do you have any exercises that would be helpful? I meditate and I love it It's usually cold here and I heat myself up or clear my mind. My life has been a lot better when I started. Sewing footbags is also like a meditation for me, I sew for a few hours and my mind wanders, it feels great. Playing footbag solo is also the same for me. I spend like 30 minutes a day meditating, I should do more though...

I meditate everyday for 15 minutes in the park before I have to do some heavy reading. It helps me focus my ADD and actually do some work. I do it here and there for 15-30 minutes throughout the day. Sometimes, it feels better than taking a nap. I kind of just close my eyes or stare off somewhere and sit and breathe and think about nothing. Focus on my breathing a lot.
The stitching actually helps settle me a lot as well, because when I'm sitting in class, I tend to fidget, so I stitch and listen to the prof.
I really cant dedicate the time to learn how to do it correctly. I rather just take a nap for half an hour than try to meditate. Although i do think it is interesting. I hear that meditation can make you feel better than any drug can. Its turned into a trendy thing for people to do untill they realize how hard it is and how long you much you have to work at it till you learn to do it.
instead of meditating i listen to music with headphones on, that really slows down my mind cause all i concentrate on is the music.
It's true that meditating is good, I meditate every chance I get, but when I can I usually do it an hour before footbag so I can really focus and have centered energy.
Randy Dubé, from the boonies and I like it that way.
Hey! I do that too, exactly an hour before. I don't eat, 'cuz when you meditate, it slows down you system so digestion would take a while. Then I shred and i feel a lot better.

one of my teachers is a buddhist, and he meditates and i asked him how i could do it and he told me that the basic way is just to concentrate on only your breathing
