I'm into meditation, how about you?

I do shikantaza. That is (if you aren't familiar with the Zen Buddhist term), the formless meditation. Or Meditation without a seed (Raja Yoga) (Asamprajnata Dhyana). Aka Vipassana, more or less.

I used to do a lot of concentration meditation. Then I did both for a while (which was a bit too intense). Now I just do the shik.

It's a big thing in my life. It is power and mystery.

How about you?

I have come to the conclusion that some form of empty mind type meditation is very important for long term success in magic.

Meditation with focussing on anything is my ideal but I've found that watching my breath keeps the intrusive thoughts at bay and thus makes empty-mind meditation easier.

I like to focus on my breath until there is nothing else and I can drop that focus too, the void meditation.
When I cannot focus like that too well, or when I simply want to, I chant, which is helping, though to focus on that and detach from it takes some effort too. Brings interesting visions.
