A Way to Meditate?

[Onyx]

How do dragons meditate? I'd like to know because I'm not totally in touch with my inner being.

Personally, I find somewhere comfortable and just... stop thinking. I dont do it anymore though, because the few times I truly managed it I got either VERY graphic views of my death, or very badly depressed.

In all seriousness, I think that dragons rest and sleep a lot.

I tried meditating once about a week ago and it scared the hell out of me . I began to disassociate (I think thats how it's spelled*) from my body and I could feel phantom limbs. My heart was racing so fast and it felt so strange, I had to stop it right there. And then shortly after I could've swore when I rolled over onto my side when I went to bed that I had unwrapped my tail from my feet, I felt every aspect of it like I actually had a tail.

I don't know though, I think I was just caught off guard on what would happen. I'm going to try it again in a few since it's almost 11p.m. here.

By the way, what I did was I sat cross legged on my bed, closed my eyes, and controlled my breathing through my nostrils and use my stomach instead of my chest to breath. I continued this for about 5 minutes and then I began to be able to kind of extend my conscience into myself, I don't know how to explain the rest. I sort of did some mind bending and soul calling I guess to put it in layman's terms.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread.

Meditating for me has two separate functions. One is for access to my mindscape which I can access while either awake or asleep. I don't know how to describe the transition... It doesn't really feel or look like anything.
The other is for the more familiar function of relaxing myself. A ridiculous lecture I once attended on meditation said to "concentrate" and "don't let the mind drift away", which struck me as complete bull@#$%. Since I have attention deficit, my mind HAS to wander off while I'm not doing anything, and trying to restrain it would require me to actually flex some muscles, and if I'm wasting a lot of energy trying to keep myself 100% present and fully conscious, then I'm not relaxing. I just let go and allow my thoughts to wander over to wherever and leave only a minimal amount to imagine blood coursing through the vessels of my body.
