Hi Greg and Od,
Sure, I'd love to hepl make a folder on meditation(although I am kind of confused about the folder things - maybe you could explain to me a bit more!) I think a lot of people could benefit. I usually meditate with a candle - I find it easier to focus on the flame, although sometimes I just focus on the spot in between my eyes with my eyes closed - you get kind of reddy-black fuzziness, depending on the light. I also usually have music on softly, otherwise I get distracted by little noises. I'm not one of those trance meditation people - I still have thoughts in my head, but I just let them float away, rather than consider and rethink everything.No sweet dreams, only one about being on a cruise ship that tipped sideways and eventually crashed. I thought I was going to die (and of course it seemed so real). My thought was 'I'm going to die. At least I'll now know what life is all about.' And I seemed quite happy to die. Then I realised that I didn't want to die, that I was strong and would hold on. So we crashed, and I was lying on the floor thinking 'Just stay conscious. You do not want to die. Remain conscious.' (I've actually thought this in real life before - I had hit my head when I was in water, and I blacked out for a few secs; that's another story!) All these bodies of dead people were lying around me, and I was in so much pain, but I was holding on to life. A metaphor, maybe?
Hugs,

Would you be interested in helping me with it? I can talk to you about specifics on ICQ. Let me know. Hope you had sweet dreams.
