Ryosha24 I best meditate during light rain or when i'm in a pool. I'm a water element and find it VERY soothing, especially when school piles up. Unfortunately, neither of those things are easily available, so I had to find another way. I imagine myself in a forest next to a waterfall (never in the water because imagined water always causes me problems). The proble with that, though, is that during random moments, my mind pulls me back there and i start to lose sense of what's going on around me. Does anyone have an idea of something else I could try? Ok, are you my long lost meditation double, because I do the same thing, no kidding. Hmm, most people would find this freaky, but not me... I kinda thrive on random freakiness. I only had that problem twice when I was first starting, yeah, once I started meditating and finally snapped out of it 10 hours later, seriously, i was kneeling on my bed and I literally couldn't feel my legs. But that doesn't happen anymore, now I make sure that happen. All I do is I also intergrate something small in my surroundings that will remind my mind of reality and I'll snap out of it, (just don't do it when you're also trying to fix a magical power problem, you might get knocked into a wall.... just a heads up there.) But try that, and it doesn;t even have to be something big it could be just about anything that can blend in (i.e: your pet [if you have one], a small trinket or piece of jewelry [a necklace, ring bracelet, etc.] and when you look at it, the object, it should jog your mind back to reality).

Sounds good. I'l try that. Thanks! 3nodding heart

For the one who gets lost, you could also try setting a watch or an alarm clock to beep, or get a Sounds of Nature CD, then when the CD stops it should help. Although I'm not sure if it will because I never had that problem due to I started to used meditation to control rage in a situation so I had to think of something rational to do about that situation.
