Do you have any meditation techniques?
I’ve been using just the regular breathing and clearing your mind, plus Zen and Mahasati. Do you have any others? I’d like to try something new.

This is how I started with meditation. Read this prayer and concentrate on each line and think how you can do this today and where you can be of service as God intended for you to be of service today:
Prayer Of St.Francis
"Lord make me a channel of thy peace — that where there is hatred, I may bring love — that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness — that where there is discord, I may bring harmony — that where there is error, I may bring truth — that where there is doubt, I may bring faith — that where there is despair, I may bring hope — that where there are shadows, I may bring light — that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted — to understand, than to be understood — to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life…
AMEN

Hi, I have been meditating for 14 years and still feel like a novice, I have used many different methods and recently I purchased a Tibeten Singing Bowl which made a huge difference. I can easily concentrate on the beautiful sounds and within a week I feel my meditation practice working within me and bringing calming changes.
I hope this helps.

One meditation technique is called gibberish. Make all kinds of sounds, as long as they are not a real language. Pretend you are talking in a language no one knows. Make loud sounds, soft sounds, angry sounds, sad sounds, just create any non-word sounds you like. Really get into it! And move your body around too.
After five or ten minutes, stop, and sit silently for five minutes, becoming aware of your thoughts, feelings, or sensations. Just watch. Do not try to change or fix anything. Do not try to stop the mind. Love yourself, and accept whatever happens from your heart.
