I sometimes have people tell me they do not have the time to meditate... this meditation is confirmation that it doesn't have to be sitting a certain way, listening to a certain kind of music, or even breathing a particular way. I have found, from a Catholic upbringing, (although I am a Green Witch now) that the Bible verse, "Pray Always, without Ceasing" can mean focusing on the work at hand. So before I begin my day, I light a candle and tell the universe to use my words, deeds and actitivities as 'prayer'... to heal myself, my family and friends, my community, my state, my country, my world.
That in itself is meditating.
As a person living with chronic pain, I tend to use creativity to aid in pain management. Knitting is just one craft... but it is rhythmic, and each stitch can contain a thought of love, health, or happiness. (which also means whomever recieves the knitted work, will be surrounded by these energies as well.) This too, I feel, is meditation at work.
Thanks so much for sharing yours.

Agood method is just to keep silent and away from all technology. Can be done in your room in the hustle of a city. No need to go on a tiring holiday or to a yoga camp. Just switch off everything and stay single, silent and aware.

guided meditation like the one Alana described are simply tools to help us focus our thoughts and not dwell on distraction, much like focus on prana, or breath, or using a personal mantra. I myself was initiated into a personal mantra which comes in handy at all times of the day, but even before that I used a similiar phrase method.

Also, I was told if you rule more by emotions, you should focus your energy on your heart; if you are more intellectual, then focus on your third eye center. oftentimes you can try either one to see, and it will let you know on its own. this is very helpful for me, esp. when seeing it as a bright light, formless and yet constantly shifting and moving, as if breathing.

interesting..the only time ive been able to successfully meditate was during a guided one, with my biofeedback technician. in it, i was walking down this path in a forest, and felt something at my side..i looked over, and it was a bear, who walked alongside me, and a bit later we encountered a deer. eventually, we came to a wooden door, that was peeling and unkempt, yet had a sense of foreboding to it..i struggled to open it and could not as much as i tried, but the bear just extended a finger (he had human hands for some reason) and poked it, and it swung open. as i walked through, i felt a wave of dizziness, kind of like standing up quickly after sitting for too long. the deer ran through the water, and splashed me (from a lake, taking on a turquoise tint), and i then dove in. after looking through the book Animal Speak, i found partly that bears represent trusting one's unconscious, so i guess it was telling me that gentleness (the deer) wont help me until i get past my current obstacles by trusting my unconscience? im still not sure of the significance, but am looking forward to being able to again.
