Hey, i just started meditation for about.. 3 days.
After about 10-15 mins into it my body goes numb and then.. its wierd, like my body pulses along with my heart? it feels like my whole body is beating, in rythm with my heart. i dont think this is normal so what am i doing wrong?

Youre fine. How long have you been meditating? How do you meditate?

I started like 2 or 3 days ago, theres only 2 methods i found on the net, one is looking at the back of your eyelids and concentrating on "the light" and another is concentrating on breathing, i do the breathing one.

Breathe in and our very very slowly and controlled.... with each cycle (one breathe in and one out) count that as 1..... try to work your way up to 10. However every time yuo get even the slightest bit distracted you must start afresh. It actualy took me a good month to get past 5 lol try it in noiser and noiser enviroments when you hit 10

strictly speaking not meditation but is an awesome exercise to aid meditation - you feel exceptionaly relaxed and refreshed after to.

im not doing it for relaxation more to explore etc, i dont wanna sound like an idiot but this is partly bltc inspired.. but meh

So, I came here to ask about meditation, too. This helps.

But, ok, a few years ago, I decided to try to meditate. The first time I did it was one of the most, if not the most amazing experiences of my life. But, after that I could never concentrate long enough to do it again. Which is sad. I can't imagine what I could be. I guess just keep working at it.

^ you have to practice with me too buddy lol

Wow i was expecting to get flamed.. Maybe totse isnt that bad?....Nah

Edit: i tryed the counting thing, got up 3.
