Void meditation

[Deleted member 60793]

How does everyone void meditate? Is laying down ok I find laying down is better than sitting more or less but was wondering if it’s alright or should I sit, I lay still for about 20mins.

Laying works fine for void meditation, as long as you don't fall asleep.

Ultimately any pose, even movement can be utilized for void meditation.

Firstly..
Void meditation is not about pose but state of being . It is just being present in the moment.
In the beginning you can focus on something around you , but if you focusing and have thoughts its not void . For example:

You can lay still but have thoughts about your day , color of the wall or just have a simple thought about how cool you are not tinking about nothing , its not void.

Void is about your mind and perception.
Void means you are thoughtless .
Void is for training for a better focus , that means more energy on your magic workings and less energy to your thoughts .

Think about this energy like an idea of light bulb and laser . Our thoughts jumping all day long like a monkey in our head and this is like a wide spread of energy , you giving this energy to everything .
But if you practice void and get better with it every day , your focus on thing will be sharp like a laser , then you focus only on the task you currently do without a wondering mind.

Secondly ..dont force to be in this state , dont think to not think , just relax and let go of your thinking side and be in the present of the moment.

Dont need to force void , you can void meditate doing whatever you want just be in the present moment .

If you still confused about void .. there is one good practice to try if it can help you , just ask yourself : What will be my next tought ? "Search for your next tought and listen what is in your mind" You will find yourself in the middle of nothing.

You can void while in the shower, walking somewhere, doing hatha yoga. I do these, and I find it easier than voiding while laying or sitting down.

The more advanced members should always consider about putting their input like this (saying this in general and not just you) because it helps people like me who tends to reads stuff and HAS to do it that way and any other way feel a bit wrong because it wasn't written as such. Even though I have tried it the way you wrote and HAS worked for me I was worried I was doing something wrong since I wasn't doing it the way I saw it first and didn't see anyone else doing it other ways.

It's my fault though for doubting and from now on I'll be more confident when I do something a little unorthodox but still works fine. As it's important to do since our personal power comes a lot from our own will/mindset.

You aren't supposed to meditate when you're dead tired

Falling asleep while laying down actually does not relate to being tired. The brain sometimes just does this, especially for people who are not experienced with meditating. It's a strange thing that just happens. It can happen even if the person is wide awake and alert.

Agreed. I think the brain instinctively slows down brain waves while laying down and focusing upon breaths - which leads to sleep easily. When new to meditations, I oftentimes became tired during meditation, even by sitting. It took a while until the nervous system adjusted to the slow brain waves that occur during trance state. This do get easier to handle as we adjust, and then one can experiment with meditations laying down. However, I still prefer to sit comfortably on a chair or on something where I can keep my spine straight. Though, these things are individual.
