How do you meditate?

Answer 1

Clear your mind.

Breath in slowly through your nose until you can no longer take in air, then end the inhale breathing the last bit in through your mouth. Fill your lungs from the bottom upwards, rather than from the top to the bottom.

Exhale very slowly, through your mouth, completely evacuating your lungs of air.

Imagine the light force that connects us as being a centralized ball. As you breath in imagine the illumination streaming into the center of your being. As it's illumination spreads through your body it collects together the darkness to be exhaled.

As you exhale imagine your angst, your worry, and your tension as a darkness that you are cleaning out of your body by exhaling.
The darkness will be immediately converted to illumination by the connecting force so there is no worry of it washing back in.

Repeat until pure, or until you can no longer differentiate yourself from the luminous force.

Answer 2

If you are talking about the Word of God. This is how I meditate. I will get a scripture and read it over and over during the period of 45 minutes to an hour. As I read it over and over, I began to notice that certain revelations are coming from it. This is by spirit man breaking down and digesting what I am reading. Meditation is just like eating food. You chew your food over and over into little bits until your ready to swallow it. Then when you are satisfied that it's small enough to swallow, you swallow it. Meditation on God's Word is the same way. If you are reading something and do not understand it. Keep meditation on it until something does come to you. In Rom 10 it says that "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God". If you keep meditating then faith will come and understanding will come.

2 Do you ever stop to meditate? What does it mean to meditate? One dictionary defines the word as “to focus one’s thoughts on: reflect on or ponder over.” And the word “ponder” means “to think about: reflect on . . . to think or consider especially quietly, soberly, and deeply.” What meaning does this have for us?

3 For one thing, it should remind us of what the apostle Paul wrote to his fellow servant Timothy: “While I am coming, continue applying yourself to public reading, to exhortation, to teaching. . . . Ponder over these things; be absorbed in them, that your advancement may be manifest to all persons.” Yes, advancement and progress were expected, and Paul’s words showed that there was a direct relationship between pondering over spiritual matters and making advancement. The same is true today. To enjoy the satisfaction of making spiritual advancement, we must still “ponder over” and “be absorbed” in things having to do with God’s Word.—1 Timothy 4:13-15.
The best time for you to meditate depends on you and your family routine. Many ponder on a Bible text early in the morning when they read from the booklet Examining the Scriptures Daily. In fact, some 20,000 volunteers in Bethel homes around the world start their day with a 15-minute consideration of the Bible text for the day. While only a few in the Bethel family give a verbal comment each morning, the rest ponder on what is being said and read. Other Witnesses ponder on Jehovah’s Word while on their way to work. They listen to the audiocassettes of the Bible and the Watchtower and Awake! magazines that are available in some languages. Many housewives do this while working around the house. In effect, they are imitating the psalmist Asaph, who wrote: “I shall remember the practices of Jah; for I will remember your marvelous doing of long ago. And I shall certainly meditate on all your activity, and with your dealings I will concern myself.”—Psalm 77:11, 12.

Answer 5

Everyone does it differently, some may find it relaxing to answer questions on her, or watch certain TV shows. Personally, I like to close my eyes, (wherever I am) and concentrate on counting my breaths as I inhale and exhale. I close my mind to all that I can when I do this and fine it quite relaxing for me.
