Do You Think Meditation Is A Bunch Of Nonsense or Actually Is Good?

Good

Nonsense

Unsure

I'd say it's kind of like placebo drugs, it works if you think it works.

Strip away the arguable silly stereotipical aspects of it such as the weird sitting yoga pose, humming, holding your eyes close and needing silence, spiritality... get rid of that bs and you get down to the core, which is slowing down, making time to gather all you thoughts, stripping those thoughts of attached feelings and actually going through them to give yourself composer that part is what it's all about and can do everyone some good.

Depends how you use it, if ts for relaxation and focus then clearing the mind or trying to focus on something sounds effective but if it's to do all that astropejecting out the body and all that crap, not so much

I've tried meditation over and over with very little success.

I do have a "place" in my mind that I can go to, that I've been told is a meditation substitute, which I don't quite understand.

I wouldn't tell anyone who seems to benefit from such techniques that they're hooey.

I just can't get to where those people say they do.

Relaxation can have benefits for sure, but I'm not sure that meditation has any benefits beyond those of relaxation.

Good, it helps to ground yourself and helps to bring you to being more at peace. Sometimes you need to turn the ping pong balls in your head off and just breathe

[ProbablyClueless]

Good, for sure. The science seems to be settled on this subject. Taking time on a regular basis to meditate seems to be a big step you can take to protect your mental and physical health.

I can't sit still quietly that long without laughing.

[strateguy632]

[mandyfire98]

Breathing and stretching is always good.

[exitseven]

I think it can be healthy way to relax

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[Dargil]

As a means of body control, it can be good.
