Meditation techniques?

Check the second link in my signature for a guide to great mindfulness meditation.

 

I use a word when I meditate. You can use any word you like that has a positive feeling to it such as Love, Beauty, Truth or you can make up a word which has no meaning. I then meditate as per usual. Breathing deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth however I use the word over and over as a chant. It serves as a thought-stopping device whereby I am kept in the moment rather than my mind intrusively throwing things into my path. It works really well. Even when I am really panicky and find myself playing things over and over in my mind, by thinking on the word and saying it over (whether verbally or just in my mind) it serves to calm me down and bring me back into the moment. It might work for you.
