Answer 1

The goal of the common form of meditation is not to ask questions but to clear one's mind of all the chattering that goes on 24 hours a day. In that still place that results from meditation, you can renew your mental and physical energy, reduce your anxiety (and sometimes depression), and simply feel better.

So, the answer to your question is no.

Answer 2

When I meditate I clear my mind of all thoughts. I concentrate on my breathing and enter a very peaceful place. I don't ask questions, I just feel the peace. I often do guided meditations when I want to understand other parts of myself and life.

They should teach meditation in school because it really is a wonderful way to ease stress. Many people think it is a hokey new age thing, but everyone can potentially benefits from it.

Meditation is a beautiful thing once it is mastered.

Answer 3

According to me meditation is always considering only "me" & that supreme soul "God".
When i do so i do it during my daily prayers and at times when i am totally shattered into pieces (naturally thats when u remember God the most than any other person :) ).
All i need is a silence and an assurance by myself that nobody else is present coz that is when i can connect.

I start meditation closing my eyes,
=> then my current problems (if any) first come to my mind. I try to tell myself (need not be aloud), all possible options which can be a solution to the problem. Note i am saying all options coz i cant get strong over a problem unless i convince myself that, thats not the end of it. (I guess its the natural human tendency).
=> then i usually remember my wrong moves (be it for the occurance of problems or anything in general). Try to get strong over it just by remembering how i faced/solved it. Seems very hard but should give it a try. This is when i get the question "Who am I" in my mind.
=> then i remember a series of good & best times i have had before. I try to elaborate this thinking as much as possible coz that is when i feel happy and refreshed. This will usually make me smile.
THEN i try to get back to the work i was doing before.

Let me make it more clear by stating that "i dont use these steps as any formula for meditation".
But for any human, i feel the tendency is to think of all the above things and most commonly in the above order.
Thats the reason i have generalised it to "feeling" rather than "situation".

Life is beautiful yet very complicated.
Thats y God made humans with mind and heart. Make the best use of your resources :)

Answer 4

The meditation I've had experience with was more relaxation techniques. In guided meditation, someone is talking you slowly down to a place (some use an elevator technique, talking you down metaphorically floor by floor) where you're no longer thinking, and are totally relaxed. You can also focus on something, breath deeply, and basically let the odd thoughts that enter your mind "float" away. Never contemplated the meaning of life or my belly button. But it does put you in a place where you can sort of slow things down and think deeper thoughts.

Answer 5

The aim of meditation is to find a way of being which involves no cogitation (thinking), merely experiencing. Acknowledge such thoughts as may pop into your mind from time to time, in the process of meditation, then gently redirect your focus to the task at hand. There are 5 methods at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris Try them all. At first, use the one which results in the fewest thoughts. Later, master the one you least like, as it will help you progress. Ultimately, learn to combine 2, or even 3 at once: gazing, breathing, and mantra repetition.

Answer 6

I do meditate but not to ask questions, I meditate to turn off conscious thought and bring focus back to the present moment, to take away stress also.

Answer 7

When i meditate i focus on the breath, it is a technique i learned from http://rda-enterprises.com which i practice daily.. sometimes i contemplate things like that but according to the instructions you aren't supposed to focus on anything but your breathing..

Answer 8

i was in a mediation workshop and did this with a partner. we asked and answered each other over and over it was really cool and not intellectual. very spiritual and etc.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I do not meditate, but I do pray to God and let Him answer the questions I have, such as "Who am I".
