Meditation Techniques

[Ankh]

For a while i have been struggling with meditation to silence my mind. (It doesnt help having builders 5 meters away destroying a house). So i thought I would make a thread where people can post their meditation techniques to help me and anyone else having trouble.

I've worked with obtaining complete silence for years now. I love to meditate, but it's not easy to obtain a complete silence. So, be patient with yourself, and have compassion. It's not easy.

Silence itself I see as a vast, infinite ocean, or the Creator. It is everpresent, yet so difficult to reach. It is like deep space, everywhere... Infinite... Magical...

Whenever I am lucky these days to merge with this complete silence, I see it as mergings with the Creator Itself.

Otherwise, when for instance working with balancing the mind complex, it is not this complete silence that one is trying to reach, but silence of the mind from all the mumbo jumbo, so that one can work with balancing for instance.
