Answer 1

there are many many kinds of meditation. i'm doing pure concentration meditation, designed to quieten and clear the mind so that i can use it to look deeply, to see what's going on in my mind, and develop mindfulness & insight. its a difficult form of meditation @ the beginning, but it's well worth becoming competent in. it forms an ideal foundation for further practice in the future, and it's also very conducive to a happy, stable life in the present.
choose a suitable place in your home where you can practice meditation uninterrupted. it needs to be quiet, not too bright, and out of sight of other people.
once you found the spot, find a good firm cushion, so that you can sit cross-legged, having something to cushion your ankle.
to start, sit down on your cushion, sitting towards the front of it so that your body is sloped very slightly forward. experience will show you the optimum position. fold your legs so that your knees & ankles are touching the floor. the important thing is to have a good straight back & reasonably comfortable legs, so that your pgysicaly energy isn't blocked. place your 2 hands in your lap, palms up, one on top of the other.
once sitting there, wriggle a little bit to find an effortlessly comfortable position for your back & arms. you don't want to feel tension anywhere. then you can begin.
take a breath, hold it for a moment, then let it out gently. pause for a moment, then take the next breath. again hold it for a moment, and let it out again. do this for 10 breaths. once you've got the rhythmn, start to count your breaths. a breath is a complete cycle-- in, hold, out, hold- and most meditators find it better to count towards the end of a cycle rather than @ the beginning. in other words, you are counting complete breaths. simply count 1 to 10 in this way. when you've reached 10, start again. if your mind wanders and you lost the count, start again from one.
do this for 10mins @ a time for a week or so. when you are ready, increase your sitting time to 20mins. you can do it anytime, but most people do it regularly @ the beginning of the day & @ the end of the day.
this is all there is to it, and @ first you'll wonder why on earth you are doing it. your mind will wander, you'll probably feel twitchy, and you'll be bored. but persevere. ther's absolutely nothing better than this for calming the mins & opening mental doors that you never knew were there.
what comes after this? once you've got to a stage where you can follow your breaths effortlessly, so that you can say, 10-20mins, and not lose count even once, you'll be ready for the next stage. in this, you start to observe the contents of your mind. you'll still be using the method of following your breaths, but now, beacause of the concentration you've already developed, you'll be able to add in a new activity. it's not possible to do this until you've gained control of your mind.

1. It definitely should help. I watched some of the olympic shooting and i could tell who would win from the beginning just from who had the most peaceful expression on their face.

2. There are different sorts of meditations. That stillness comes from awareness - just notice your thoughts, your feelings, what you hear, what you feel, perhaps do it with open eyes and notice what you see. Slowly your ability to be aware will get stronger, and you can use that awareness to focus on your target.

Answer 4

Try looking at the Shooting Bow Asana's in Yoga. I'd imagine that would help you, along with the meditations.

It is possible that meditation could help you to focus and remain calm. It certainly helped me improve my archery, so it should do the same for someone using a firearm.

Answer 9

You are one of the very few who are interested in Meditation. So don’t let this good spirit erode away with time.

Meditation trains and develops our mind just as the Physical exercise does the same for our body. There are 2 major types of Meditation. First type trains our mind for Concentration while the second type trains it to see the reality of this life and our body.

Best Meditation to improve concentration is looking at your breath, but not every one can easily do this at start. Remember the secret of success is doing it DAILY.

(1) Choose a peaceful time of the day. Best time is early morning just after you woke up and finished your wash and tea.

(2) Sit down on your bed or on the floor. Use a small pillow to sit on. It will help you to stay for longer periods.

(3) Fold your legs and place your palms (facing up) on your lap. Close your eyes. Turn your attention to your sitting position for 1 or 2 minutes, just to calm down your mind.

(4) Now that your eyes are closed (and your mouth is shut too) every thing from here on wards have to be done by your mind.

(5) There is a 'talking nature’ in our mind. We talk in mind. So we use this 'talking' ability for our meditation to concentrate our mind.

(6) Look at your breath going in and coming out. Do not try to control it, just 'observe' it. Just like when you are on beach or river bank, observing waves as they come and go. Watch as your in-breath starts and ends followed by your out-breath starts and ends.

(7) Say in your mind "in breath" (or "breathe in" or "Inhale") when your breath goes in. Similarly, whisper in your mind "out breath" (or "breathe out" or "Exhale"), when your breath comes out. Find short, simple and easy words in your 'mother language' for these.

(8) This is like a baby trying to walk. He first gets the help of a "walker" to hold on to, to avoid falling. Just like that we use this talking ability of our mind to keep our concentration on our breath.

(9) After few minutes, your mind may drift away, here and there. It may be drawn by surrounding sounds, past incidents, future plans etc. But remember your task now is to look at your breath, nothing else. So, when you become aware that it has run off track, bring it back to your breath. Have patience, a lot of it. Do not push it (your mind) or have expectation, just practice and it (mind) will slowly react. Practice even 3, 4 times a day.

(10) Initially your session may last for 5 or 10 minutes, but later, it will increase to 20, 30, 40 minutes and more.Initially you may not welcome your meditation session but when your mind is settling you will look forward for them.

(11) There are 5 Hindrances (or obstacles) to over come before your mind settles down in meditation. They are: Passion and Covetousness, Anger, Sloth or Dizziness, Restlessness and Anxiety, Uncertainty (of whether you are doing the right thing in right way)

(12) Slowly, with days and weeks, your mind will learn that no point of running around. It will start to settle down and you will feel its change and it will take you to a whole world of happiness.

If you find it difficult do this meditation do not worry. There are many other meditations, which take different objects like your body for concentration. You may find them easier.
