What do people think about during meditation?
I'm new so I'm mostly thinking CLEAR YOUR HEAD, QUIET, CALM BLUE OCEAN. Sometimes I get into a slight trance and think nothing.

Reply:All meditation I have done I think of a nice place I want to be and if you listen to meditation tapes they tell you to think of a nice warm place
Reply:The idea is to empty the mind of all worldly thoughts and to concentrate on ones inner self.try imaging yourself standing on the inside of a ping-pong ball
Reply:Inner-peace
Reply:I focus on an imaginary energy ball forming on the chakra on my forehead. My focus is to try to create and then maintain the size of this ball. I try to make it about the size of a tennis ball. Meanwhile, all the extra thoughts that come to my head, I try to let them run their course and leave. This is very difficult for me to do. I have, once, actually felt as if my spirit was floating away from my body. This kind of scared me, so I immediately opened my eyes and brought myself back to reality. I have not been able to attain that since. I think everyone should have a different path though, since our individual martial arts will take us down different paths. Over all though, I think that the destination is the same. That is ultimately some kind of enlightenment, whether that be personal or spiritual.
Reply:Emptiness, total emptiness, I keep trying but them thoughts drift in and I let them drift over the Field of consciousness. All that must be there is emptiness. Imagine a jar full of water, empty it no thing in the jar, no jar, no air, no vacuum, no thing whatsoever. Spooky eh? But profound and then not so.

Reply:Nothing!
Reply:nothing... and inner peace.... which is like nothing... because nothing is like peaceful... in way...
Reply:It depends. Sometimes during my meditations I mentally run techniques in my mind. Sometime I focus on my own energy and the sensation it causes as it moves through my body. Sometimes, I simply focus on my breathing. It depends on what seems most necessary for that session.
Reply:lots of different thoughts
Reply:Waking-Up...!!!
Reply:the whole point of meditation is to get away from rational thought and enter a part of you that gives you peace from everyday worrys and concerns.if you like the autonomic side which operates on a totally different level.bottom line there is no thinking . everyone will have a different interpretation, for me its entering the void, nothingness, total peace .
