    I use a technique I call "full sensory meditation." I find a quiet, natural spot and concentrate on each of my senses in turn, sight, hearing, scent and touch.

    My fave is a "void" like state done when lying down with eyes closed.
    Eventually with some practice you can block out thoughts without really trying, eventually your body can feel empty or floating.. From this point I draw my attention to one sense only or do some form of cleansing work.....

    Basically from that empty/floating state I branch off to anything I feel like doing at the time.

    Sometimes if you are too tired you will just fall asleep.

    I use the meditation technique given in the book 'modern magic'. This is the best meditation technique for me personally & I highly recommend it for people who have problems concentrating. You need tarot cards for this. While contemplating & negating u scan the card from right to left 4 times. Here is the procedure-

    A TECHNIQUE OF TRUE MEDITATION
    STEPONE. Perform the Relaxation Ritual.
    STEPTWO. Perform the LBRP.Always be sure to do a protection
    ritual before meditating.
    STEPTHREE. Shuffle the Major Arcana cards (practice this for
    several weeks with cards 6, 7,10,13,15 and 18 left out) and randomly
    selectoneto use. This willbethe objectwhich you willuse for the contemplation
    part of this technique.
    STEPFOUR. If you,you feel the need, do the Relaxation Ritual again.
    STEP FIVE. Scanning: This step works in a way similar in nature to
    the method by which a television produces a picture. In a picture tube
    is a device called an "electron gun" which shoots electrons in a small
    single beam toward the screen, forming a "scan line" across the front
    of the tube. The beam from the electron gun then jumps back to just
    below the first line and repeats the process. If you look closely at the
    fromtof your set when it is on, you can see the lines. But you cannot see
    the lines being made because the process is done so fast that your eye
    cannot follow it, so it appears that you have a solid picture.
    In this meditation technique, scanning is done this way:
    1. Start by looking at the upper right hand comer of your
    chosen card.
    2. Look at a horizontal strip of the card about a half-inch from
    top to bottom. Move your vision from right to left across the
    width of the card. Thus you should have a strip of the card in
    your mind composed of the uppermost half-inch of the card.
    3. Now return to the right-hand side of the card and scan
    again across the card, from right to left, covering another halfinch
    immediately below your previous scan.
    4. Repeat this process until you have totally covered the
    card.
    What you are doing is observing the card, from top to bottom, a
    half-inch at a time. Try to remember as much of each strip or "scan"as
    you can, but don't worry about perfection. You will get better with
    practice.
    STEP SIX. Contemplation: In this step you will become fully involved
    with the object. Put simply, the technique is to reproduce the
    previous step of scanning, but within your mind's eye.
    1. Put down the card so that you can no longer see its face.
    2. By memory, go through and visualize the entire scanning
    process.
    Go one strip at a time until you have reproduced, to the best of
    your ability, the entire card in your imagination. The first time you do
    this you may miss many things and colors, and perhaps you will only
    be able to recall and mentally create the outline of shapes that were on
    the card. It is not importantthatyou are completelyaccurate with your
    visualization, but your visualization abilities will improve with practice.
    This does not mean that it is permissible to be lazy or overly brief
    in this process. You must do the very best that you can. This step This step
    100 / Modern Magick
    should take between three and four minutes, but if you wish it may
    take longer.
    STEP SEVEN. Negation:
    1. Starting again in the upper right-hand comer of the card
    which you have now visualized through the scanning procedure,
    take the topmost scan and, moving from right to left,
    erase the image. That is, "de-scan" it; make it disappear. In your
    mind's eye you should still see a card, but with its top halfinch
    removed.
    2. Return to the top right-hand comer of what is left of your
    visualized card and take off another strip.
    3. Continue this de-scanning, erasing process until the entire
    card is gone from your mind. Duration for this step: about I1fz-3
    minutes, maximum.
    STEP EIGHT The State of True Meditation: At this point, a very
    interesting phenomenon will occur. Your consciousness which has
    been caught up in the act of de-scanning the visualized card, will also
    be "gone" (actually it will only be silent) by the time the card is gone.
    Your consciousness will be silent and the monologue in your head
    will be stopped. This will give your subconscious a chance to speak to
    you and give you possibly important messages and informatio

    I mostly use Ground, Center and Shield. If you look it up, you'll find it.

    Maybe this sounds stupid and the complete oppersite to meditating, but i like to blast out psycadelic trance or dubstep and see where it takes me. I would say i use music that has any autistic rythmic drumming as a tool rather than ambient music. When their is silence i can never quiet my mind down no matter how much i try. I read somewhere that the tempo of 145 (psy) almost match's the alpha waves in the brain which is the phase between dreaming and reality? I think.

    Sometimes i go into the woods and find somewhere to sit and watch stuff, but i wouldent say thats meditating.

    I too use the method She Devil described most of the time.

    Default 2 meditations

    Imagine you're floating out above the middle of an ocean...think of the waves as the thoughts running through your mind...with each breath focus these thoughts down into a calmer and calmer state until you can see the waves in the ocean begin to flatten out...after a few minutes the waves get smaller and appear more like the water in a calm lake, but still no land anywhere on the horizon, just you floating above a wide open ocean, now rippling instead of waves...as the water becomes as smooth as glass imagine immersing yourself slowly down into it...or you can just hover there...sometimes I imagine the ocean freezing over, it depends...at this point my mind is usually thought free for a while...if a thought appears it should become very easy to redirect it after some practice...

    Another technique- Picture yourself on the edge of a canyon with a bridge connecting to the other side...it can be whatever kind of bridge you feel like having, a rainbow bridge, a bridge made of human skulls, one made of empty beer cans...whatever you feel like...this is the bridge your energy body will take to cross into whatever realm you feel like entering...as you cross the bridge start concentrating on your breathing...now when you get to the other side picture getting into a glass elevator and go up or down, whichever way you choose, and take this elevator anywhere you want to go...try adding tints of color to the glass elevator if you feel it will help influence your mood...

    I do a breathing and pretend I am floating in a river and just follow myself as I breathe.

    Yes, I find it is much better in many ways than the FFB. I have another one but it is too long to post here.
