Basically, Instead of Focusing on Breath, Or Mantras, And or Different Parts of my Body As Sitting Still
'Typical Meditation' Does, The 'Stream of Consciousness' in Writing Free Verse Poetry in Flow Becomes the

Essence of the Meditation Where Creativity and Very High Levels of Productivity All Come to Fruition Together...

The Essence of the Public Dance, When i Relate Free Style Ballet and Martial Arts is Similar to Moving Meditations
That Are 'Officially Named' Like 'Tai Chi;' Whatever Form One Uses From Someone Else or Creates Themselves

Is Really Secondary
to the Essence New of
What One is Trying to Achieve,

in Terms Now of Much Greater
Cognitive Executive Functioning;
Regulation of Emotions; Integration
of Senses; And Creative Processes
That Increase Productivity Solo or in Union
With Other Folks Doing Similar Meditative Activities...

For me at Least, Typical Meditative Activities Like
Focusing on Breath, Mantas, And Or Various Areas of
The Body, Are Just too Boring for me; i Get A Lot More

Done Through Meditative Activities in Flow That Are
Actually Newly Creative And Productive of Course...

Hehe, And It's Also Totally Free; No Expensive Boring Classes...

It's All Been A Rather Intuitive Process; Feeling, Sensing my Way

Through it, For What Works for me in A Free Dance And Song in Flow Ongoing..

When I medidate, I do it with my television on. That way I can sit still, breath slowly, and pay attention to the sounds and voices coming from my television.

I cannot meditate with the tv off. I'd start thinking about the past, get pissed, and stop meditating.

Transcendental (non licensed, just repeating made up meaningless 2-3 syllable words) works best for me, because it leaves no space for thinking and kinda works like monotonous stimming. After some struggle for 5-15 minutes comes this blissful moment, where my body completely relaxes (it takes effort to even sit upright) and I feel myself most calm and peaceful. The thing is my stubborn personality is accompaied by even more stuborn mind, so I only relax if I'm exhausted and my mind only relaxes when it's exhausted.

Another meditation that is good for me is "lotus flower meditation". It is about creating feeling of love, compassion and tenderness, serenity. It helps me to cope with the lack of real emotions, interactions, warm relationships with people, it also reduces my anxiety by 80 percent, so I am not terrified of beiing in the crowd with loud noises, a lot of movement and light, which usually makes me burnout in mere minutes.

I understand meditation, once you strip away the hippy stuff, falls roughly into two camps:
--Learn to focus on your thoughts and control them
--Still the mind

The former just seems to me to be another form of mental focus. The latter is f*kkin impossible when your inner monologue runs at full tonk all the waking hours of your day.

Whiskey now, that's another form of meditation that works well enough.

It's interesting. I like the idea of harnessing creativity and productivity but it's kind of the opposite of what I wanted to achieve with meditation which was for my inner monologue to shut up for a bit and let me be.

This thread is making me want to give TM another go. I'd give whiskey another go but it doesn't agree with me these days.

^I did a bit of low-level stalking through the link in your sig and saw your videos which helped because I couldn't really visualise what you were talking about. You certainly look very much at peace when you move. I liked the one where you inspired a lady to dance with you. I'm glad it works for you. I couldn't stand that much spinning though, I'd fall over

I do, however it's more western Hermetic and Kabbalistic in focus rather than having emptying as the priority.
