Meditation

I know this may sound like my dream thread but do any of you know mediation techniques? Or do you just sit down in the quiet with your eyes closed trying to keep your mind in check?

Suggestions would be helpful.

I did the discover your inner guide one, and the chakra one. now I basically do the chakra one on my own whenever I meditate.

I heard that mediation helps your stress levels reduce themselves.

In Kung-Fu we sit cross legged, with our left hand over our tummy and right hand over the left, then close eyes and relax.
There are a few good ways to meditate though and having one hand over the other and held against you, is a good way for your energies to circulate around your body.

When i Meditate i sit in a comfortable position and focus on my energy and do a breathing excersize where when you breath in you count to 7 and hold it for seven then breath out counting to seven and repeat till i feel finished. when i did it in a class they had us do it sitting cross leged and doing a similer breathing exersize while we empty our minds of anything but the sky. i some times empty my mind instead of my energy because of this even though my grandpa says it isn't good to compleatly leave your mind while emptying it.

I prefer the meditation type used in Aikido... which was the 1st of the martial arts i learned... i used it later on, even when everyone else in the dojo did it differently...
It looks like this:

The palms are relaxed and located on top of each other facing upwards, thumbs can be either touching in front of the palms, or relaxed, depends on your own preference...
The feet can either touch the ground with the top side, or you can sit on your fingertips... it's rather hard at 1st and you won't be able to sustain this position longer than 15-20 minutes, but it takes only couple of weeks to get used to it and it helps to strengthen the feet and your stance as well, which is important not only in martial arts... also, if you choose to sit on your fingertips, it will help to stretch out the leg muscles, which is very pleasurable, after a hard training... I've tried other positions, but i found this one being the best and comfortable.
