Can someone "simply" (if that is possible) describe meditation. It's uses, how to begin, what to expect etc...

I realize that is a broad question, so any feedback appreciated. I have no guide at this point so my walk has become intensely solitary. I continue to look deep within my own deepest recesses for truth, love, peace... Of course there are so many books available that perhaps that is the best way - yet I feel now is the time for communion.

Would this be an appropriate forum to post the descriptions and see if what I am doing is meditation or receive guidance/suggestions/feedback?

Recently I did a Kundalini meditation on past, present, and future. It was very compelling.

IF YOU LOVE THE SEA YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND THAT A FINAL RESTING PLACE DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN BEING EATEN BY WORMS. FISH ALSO HAVE TO EAT. I AM SEEKING A WOODEN OCEAN SAILING VESSEL THAT EVENTUALLY WILL BE SET ON FIRE AND SUNK IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. THIS WILL BE A VIKING FUNERAL WITH A GREAT FEAST AND CEREMONY. I WANT TO HAVE MANY INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE JOURNEY. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR MY JOURNEY IT MUST BE GIVEN TO ME.MANY THINGS WILL BE HAPPENING SOON AND YOU CAN BECOME PART OF THE EVENT OF THE DECADE. I AM ALLOWED TO TRADE A PAINTING OF MY DEATH PRIOR TO THE EVENT FOR THE DONATION OF THE VESSEL.THE VESSEL MUST BE SEA WORTH BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A TRIP TO ICELAND FIRST. I INTEND TO VISIT ASKJA A HUGE LAKE-FILLED CALDERA IN THE CENTER OF ICELAND. THIS FORTRESS OF STONE LIES IN THE FORBIDDEN ODADAHRAUN, THE LARGEST LAVA FIELD IN THE WORLD. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING -- OR THE END.
NOW YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF ARE YOU OPEN FOR ADVENTURE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY IN MY IMAGINATION. I PROMISE TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO A NEW CONCEPT, THIS IS A WAY TO CRAWL OUT OF THE BOX. ALL SUPPORT WILL BE APPRECIATED IN WORDS, FEELINGS OR DONATIONS OF SUPPORT OR WILLING HANDS. EMAIL DRDAMONKNIGHT@GMAIL.COM

It is important to enter meditation by whatever path comes to hand. Do not listen to competing advice. The time comes when, of your own wishes/feelings you may branch onto another path. The names of the paths do not matter. You matter. Begininning to sense what is appropiate for you. Nothing is right or wrong - but what is appropriate (for you) and what is inappropriate. Do not get mixed up with the idea that self exploration has anything to do with selfishness. Allow your inner self be your inner self, not listening to outer sounds. Slowly come to the surface. No need to tell other people. They will notice subtle changes in you in due course. Just move slowly into the next step - the last step. And then discover the next step ahead from there. There is no hurry.

All right...lets get it alive (:
I live in ireland/kerry and 5 years ago buddhism crossed my way. I started to study its techings and i am in a blessed position because we have the buddhism retreat center Drogchen Beara at the next Peninsula. I joined there several retreat weeks every summer and received teachings of the amazing Soygal Rinpoche. Here you can enjoy a wonderfull teaching of him regarding Meditation.

Thanks for creating this forum David. So often it is difficult to connect with even one person who will share sacred thoughts and appreciation about our spiritual growth. When we take time to grow within, for this is a rich intention; we develop our greater self . Meditation is riches!
