Hi @Kansuze,
What a great question! I will try to put the wisdom of 100s of energy masters into a nutshell.
Sit quietly and notice your feelings as you think about some object of your focus. Start with something simple like a beautiful flower and think about how alive and lovely the flower is and how it will eventually fade and pass away.
Usually some uncomfortable feeling comes up or some kind of indifference, or mental argument. Your job is to stay with the feelings behind the thoughts and simply just sit with them.... because they also dissolve and pass away.
As you notice your initial feelings, you may start to notice that your body is contracted in some way, uncomfortable... just sit with those feelings further. Some people breathe into them. These contractions gradually release and open you into the great space of being.
The art is in the 'sitting with it as it is'.
It's not an easy practice to begin with and you should only do it if you feel called to try and have proper guidance. :-) Happy practicing.
regards,
Margot
I have friends who meditate. I guess you could say I haven't been called but they found it helped calm them. I'm already calm! :-)
Good on you @kansuze ! The world needs more calm people. When you are truly calm, you are in the zone and magic happens.
best wishes for your creative life.

I hope you're right. Best wishes to you too.

Maybe that’s what your next post should be, the how to on meditating. What you suggest for sents, music/sounds, surroundings and such.
Thanks for the suggestion @alaskahippie I'll put something together on that. :-)
