Great Idea Ebon.

I'm excited for this thread.

I do mostly guided meditations, though I can't go as deep as I did when I wasn't on my adhd meds.

I really enjoy Ariel's meditations - some are more specifically pagan than others.

I also like the meditations found in his witch's primer:

This one is really fabulous to me (and chakra related) http://traffic.libsyn.com/witchcraft/Rainbow_Power.mp3

I think he asks you to do the grounding and centering and orb of power meditations before doing it. I will generally do these on my own (instead of listening) and then listen to the rainbow meditation.

Thanks for starting this thread Ebon. I am not the best at meditation. I do try. I like to connect with "The Thing Itself" in the early morning hours. When it is still dark and quiet. I can hear, feel and see the present and presence much more clearly.

Subscribing so I can listen, read and learn.

General question ....

Is it possible to be too in the moment? Is that the same as being present?
Also - if this is not the right space for asking these questions-my apologies in advance.

Actually this is the perfect place. I don't think so. When I think of being in the moment and being present, to me they are one in the same. So basically you are here not thinking about the past or the future, not thinking about the outcome, everything just is. You are in the present, no worries no fears, even if you do have a worry or a fear you are present you feel it, listen to it and let it pass but don't let it trigger thoughts of the past or future. It's extremely hard for me to do this. My mind goes 100 miles per hour.

Now if you mean being too deep in meditation again I don't think this is bad thing as long as you know how to get back and ground yourself.

I dance to music and let it take me where it wants……I’ll go for a walk, paying attention to my rhythm of walking……I’ll concentrate on my breathing during Yoga……I’ll sit and watch the clouds float past……I’ll listen to gentle music and concentrate on the piece……My best meditation is to hand embroider, paying particular attention to how each stitched is formed.

I can’t just sit or lay down and clear my mind as I fall asleep – not a bad thing in itself, lol!

My meditation at the moment is Tai Chi, concentrating on my movements and placement of my crutches – It’s my “Go to” meditation when my Spina Bifida goes into spasm. It helps with the pain and stiffness of movement.

I'm not either my mind goes every which way. I think the intention to connect with "The Thing Itself" is very helpful even if it's just for a couple minutes. I know when I first started meditated I could only stay clear my thoughts for a couple of minutes at a time.
