"Anybody here meditate? If so, why did you start?"
------------
I meditate most nights before bedtime using "brain entrainment music" for a good nights sleep & to feel better and more alert the next morning 
It's not for everybody but works for me   |

I use yoga nidra which is like sleep meditation. This helps me fall asleep and sleep better.
I also do some other meditations when im feeling stressed or anxious. I use an app called insight timer. Its free and has a lot of really good content. |

Regularly for about 10 years. Initially because of stress/depression/anxiety attacks. Havnt had one attack since. Now I'm happy as fuck I now give group meditation sessions in my free time, to show others it's not so crazy. I think the problem is, most people (especially guys) think it is an activity reserved solely for crazy hippy types. lol

Yeh I know what you mean. I’ve only really dabbled over the past year, but the time when I was consistent was the time I could feel Barry any anxiety/depression. What’s the shortest length of time you would meditate for? |

Shortest, just 10 mins. But generally 20-30 mins. Most people say they don't have the time, but I find the more time I give to meditation, the more I get done during the day. I put it down to organising your mind leaves you much more organised throughout the day. |

I bought a four-cassette-tape box set (which gives an idea about how long ago this was) which taught a type of meditation called Clinically Standardised Meditation. It was a mantra based meditation but with all the religious stuff stripped out. Written by a psychologist.
I've been meditating ever since - once before work and once after. I can honestly say it's probably the most useful and beneficial thing I've done in my life. |

True it does take a bit of focus to get used to it . I always recommend it to people to relax or help sleep . |

"I meditate, it's my saving grace. I mostly do it at night, at the end of a busy day. I call that my Beditation. "
Love it 
I use a combo of bits I have taken from various different sources that works for me. Combined I suppose they are classed as meditation or Madametation |
