What kinds of meditations do you guys do?

Personally, I have a pretty solid routine that seems to work pretty well for now. I start by aligning my chakras and trying to clear my mind a bit. Then I begin breathing in for 4-6 seconds, holding my breath for 4-6 seconds, and exhaling for 4-6 seconds. While I'm doing this I also 'breathe' in energy with my body during my inhale like a sponge soaking up water. Then when I exhale, I make all the energy rush to the top of my head around my crown chakra. After doing this for long enough I have really intense head rushes when I divert the energy to my head, and I can get into a very deep trance after 40 minutes or so. It's very refreshing.

This old guy Akira runs a meditation group downtown. I need to start going to it. Basic zen. My meditations are just breath oriented. I have had a few trances before which were super nice.

I stopped meditating for a few months, maybe even longer because my life/house/brain is too much a mess right now.

As a tool to relax, maybe it might be helpful.

But in doing it seriously, building tan tien, circulate chi, etc., I find I risk "accelerated karma." A heap of bad luck decides to pile right on top of me if I mess with the universe too much.

Every person is a nexus the universe flows in and out of, and if you get that pump going too strong you end up with too much universe.

Just trying to keep my house clean and handling my finances I think is a meditation in itself, and when I get that under control I'll go back to plumbing the depths.

Or maybe that means risking not ever meditating, because when will any of us really be satisfied with an equilibrium in our lives? I don't have any answers.

A wise man once said, that, nothing in the whole universe is ever permanent, only impermanence is permanent.
True, we may never be "satisfied" with our current living conditions, and when we get frustrated with something in our life, it's because we are refusing to aknowledge change, we are refusing to let go of useless/old/changeable things, at which time we must set ourselves free from the bondage we had with those things, and embrace the new, the unknown which is yet to come.

Mostly mindfulness for the sake of anxiety relief, but lately I've been working on something more trance like. I'm working my way up to astral projection, so I've also been thinking about looking up self hypnosis as a way to induce aforementioned trance.

Affirmation. If you believe in something hard enough, the entire universe will move to accommodate.

If all things change, will change itself end.
