I like to learn about others' spirituality, obviously. So, like my "Do you pray?" thread, I would now like to start a "Do you meditate" thread.

If you meditate, please share how you do that. Do you do it in quiet, just in your own mind? Is there a particular mantra or phrase or prayer that you say, whether out loud or in your mind? Do you use a certain physical posture or position? Do you use cds for guided imagery or guided meditations?

Where did you learn about meditation, and what are the benefits it brings to your life?

Anything else you want to share???

I appreciate anyone who shares their thoughts and experiences with meditiation...
