[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7649607, member: 177"] Yes, I meditate. I do, occasionally, do yoga. You've met me, Rel. I'm not exactly a full-lotus kind of guy, either. Consider that your position on the physical aspect of yoga has much the same character as your prior understanding of meditation - you're somewhat missing the process and purpose by seeing one end point. However, when I'm meditating in yoga, it isn't for purposes of thought. It is for purposes of non-thought. Not for opening the mind to what it has to say, but for clearing the mind entirely, for stress-release purposes. I also do thought-meditation, as you describe. I have a 2.5 mile walk I often take to or from the subway to get to work (I can also just take a bus, but walking is healthier). And I often use that time for the kind of meditation you're describing here. A whole lot of my game prep happens in the commute to and from work on game-day, in fact. I intend to do that shortly, in fact, as my game's tonight! Doing the dishes is another time I manage it - just let the mind wander off while I scrub off the baked-on tomato sauce... [/QUOTE]
