What use meditationMeditation is key to many systems of "self awareness".
One member here feels that it is not of use in developing mediumship or psychic abilities.
I can't tell you who it is because he is such a tetchy Witch.
Anyway. What is your experience with meditation, and do you agree that it is of no use in aiding psychic, and mediumistic abilities,
assuming that even they exist?
Put the last bit in for Fire Dragon!!!!!

Alright, maybe I need to explain myself here a little more.
I am not against meditation. I love meditation. I do it as often as I can and I get a lot from it.
Being Psychic or a Medium is a talent. It's no different from learning an instrument or a foreign language or how to cook or paint a picture.
As with all those things the only way to improve and become better is to practice, practice, practice.
Meditation will no more help you become psychic than it will help you learn German or play the Oboe.

There is also the consideration that there are different forms of meditation.
There is passive meditation where the object seems to be the stilling of the mind and then there is active meditation sometime called path working.
I have found that the two types are very different indeed.
Active meditation for me has on occasion taken of a "reality" of it's own, whereas passive meditation i have found will bring realisations. The realisations are always pertinent to me so perhaps in stilling the mind I am finding things that are already known to me but not to the conscious part of my mind.
If either of these forms encourages intuition or not I really have no idea. And I am pleased that someone made me consider it.

Pathworking is slightly different . You're wandering into the realms of altered states when you pathwork.

I love path working meditation..
For me meditation gives me the time to slow down and give back to me I use it to energise myself clear and revitalise my cells.... i use it when I get stressed cause I do get stressed when there is lots on my plate .. I prefer to go to other realms and be taken places than just and clear my head ...
Strangely enough I do teach meditation too... I love channelling through some great meditation I've learned to tape them so I can later do them myself
How do you lot work your meditations? I'm forever having others ask me to recommend good meditation CD's for them - they are all usually beginners themselves and I don't have much to recommend cause I never use them or started that way -any suggestions?

If you're just starting to meditate then guided CD's are always a good place to start until you can do it without.
I still use guided CD's every now and then because I have heard some lovely ones.
Nowadays I just use a recording of gentle music or lately I've taken to using a Tibetan singing bowl.
