How to meditate daily
It made me
Anxious
 "Tough, probably didn't do it properly, but it was relaxing."
How I did it: I used a 30-day trial for this. Lessons & tips: Be sure you know what meditation is and how to do it. Resources: Didn't do enough research myself, but you might like to read some books and find information online.

It made me
Peace and Joy! 
How I did it: I've learned Transcendental Meditation, Kriya Yoga with Self Realization Fellowship (Paramahansa Yogananda) and Primordial Sound Meditation with Deepak Chopra. I found it important to set a 30 day goal to develop the habit of meditating twice a day to develop a habit. I use the RPM approach - Rise, Pee and Meditate. Works for me. My second session is around 3:30pm in the afternoon. I now meditate twice a day, everyday and consider i… Read how I did it…

Gleeful!
How I did it: 51 Letter Mantra of the elder brother sage Thirumoolar. www.sivayoga.com. Practice this every day. You will discover the Inner Life that will empower and fuel your Outer "Everyday" Life. You will gain much and will have much more to offer the world. Read how I did it…

Shattered
How I did it: I read a few books on Buddhism years ago and started haphazardly meditating on my own. I'm not even sure why I started. I started going to a group once a week, and that was nice. I'd start and stop all the time. I may have been sitting once a week, tops.I decided to go to a meditation retreat at a Zen Buddhist monastery over a weekend about a year and a half ago. It rocked my world, and I decided to go back.&… Read how I did it…

super happy
How I did it: I found a meditation that appealed to me, Transcendental Meditation (TM), set my intention on it and ended up at a school and community that meditates twice daily! TM costs about $2,000 to learn, but I ended up getting excepted to a school that teaches and practices it, and got a scholarship for it! I know anyone can meditate daily, but I wanted a specific type of meditation, and even more, being in a supportive environment to… Read how I did it…

It made me
feel less stressed
How I did it: It was hard and am still very 'green' at it. Concentrating is the hardest, as the mind tends to wander to what you're having for tea, conversations you've had in the day, noises outside - these are all distractions to get used to 'pushing aside'. And making myself find the time! 10mins is all you need. Read how I did it…

Daily practice
1 week ago
I’m going to try and do this twice daily alongside the Artist’s way. I’m going to use this website and try and do each class for a week. Just did the candle exercise, whilst listening to some meditation music I downloaded from itunes. I also had some incense burning but this hasn’t gone down well with the rest of the family, so I think I’ll just stick to the music from now on.
I’m going to try and do this every morning and evening, today was in the afternoon as I got up late.
I feel a little calmer. Think it’ll work better once I build up to longer intervals, only did 5 minutes.
Meditation
1 week ago
Meditation is a very interesting practice. Every time I meditate I experience something different. I feel things that are usually can not be felt normally and sometimes I get distracted by these. Last night I experience something I never had before. It felt like I had no body and at the same time I had two. I don’t know how to put this in words ,really, but it was different.

30 Days
2 weeks ago
I’ve decided I need a proper goal so I know when I’m done. I’m going to try meditating at least once a day (ideally twice) for 10 minutes. Its not a huge goal but I want to integrate this with my normal life so I have to do it slowly methinks.
So far so good I have been doing this for a week… 23 days to go!
Hopefully by the end of the 30 days it will be as natural as cleaning my teeth twice a day :D

10 minutes and doing fine
2 weeks ago
Instead of trying to do 15 minutes with my ADHD-mind, I though it would be better to start with 10 calm minutes.
An actually I did pretty good the last 4 days.
No bouncing of the walls, but I kept pretty cool.
It is really good progress this stillness in my mind.

I’m very lucky in that I find meditating quite simple (I know some people have trouble slowing down and controlling their thoughts). However I don’t practise daily so thats something I would like to do.
I want to keep it simple (maybe try other stuff as it becomes more of a habit) just focusing on my breathing for 5/10 minutes in the morning and at night.
