where do you meditate?

Ying yang, I get that too. I start, concentrating on whats happening, and I space, my mind goes conmpletely blank. I know it's not sleep, but its not concentrating on qi and its movement, or anything.It's like i completely space out for a bit.

Oh, and I usually do it in my bedroom with the lights low or out. its the only place I can get where I can lock the door and noonne can intrude. Even outside the neighbors or other people would be around.

I love New york, but it's hard to find solitude sometimes.

I pray in church and out. I don't really meditate. There are times when I'm training that I am in a heightened sense of awareness. I guess that could be considered meditation. Basically, just aware of my surroundings: noises, shadows, movement of anykind and also internally, my breathing, heartbeat, what muscles to relax, etc. All of this usually during stance training. To answer the initial question about where I 'meditate' - I guess just wherever I am training. Good thread.

you forgot the explanation he gave you:

I meditate in a place where there is no one near me... I always hate it when
people go to me and say: "Hey! Look at that guy!... Ommmng... Ha ha!"
That just pisses me off...
I like forests , that is the best place... Or even better the mountains!
Now mostly in my yard or inside my house!

Thanks for great replies and quotes.
V interesting to hear where you train and meditate.
The times that you meditate seem to be important too? I guess it is linked to TCM theory.
I have been reading up on old school masters in china, and they seem to train first thing in the morning.
I always get a good result from training around 7pm. You can sense something different in the air? Similar to first thing in the morning as well. Any ideas why?

i'm sure you'll think i'm loco but i have had birds landing on me, squirrells playing around my feet and even a fox came and sat near me whilst holding standing postures and meditating. another wierd thing that happened once........ i was practicing very slowly with alot of intent when a dog came flying at me barking like mad, i simply looked at its eyes and it ran off crying as if it had seen a ghost. i usually practice in a secluded park, rain,sun or snow. i think animals can see the energy or aura which people most often can't.

I meditation where no body can disturb me.
Its usually in my bed room.

Four mornings out of the week I practice Chi Kung in a Florida room in my home. Although I would have to say that my ideal spot is on the beach away from everyone. Those have been my deepest experiences.
