I’ve learned how to meditate, but are there other things you can do with meditation? Can you answer some question about your true inner self or something?

Do you have to pay to learn it?

I’m wondering if creating art has any of the same effects as meditation. It would be interesting if there are any studies on this. I remember hearing that listening to music for professional musicians activates similar areas of the brain to meditation.

Raphial Lee asked:


I know a mind is a bundle of thoughts, but I’m having a hard time clearing my mind during meditation. Am I suppose to force things out my mind?

There was a guy on here the other day asking what kind of fur his meditation mat should be made of. This surprised me because I had no idea that meditation mats were made of fur. Is this usual?

CG asked:


I am very interested in meditation and the ideas that surround it. Although I do not agree with many of the practices at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. Are there any other similar schools in the US that aren’t affiliated with the Maharishi?
