How do you meditate with sounds, quiet, darkness or something other than what I mentioned?

Usually with a candle and aromatherapy. Sometimes quiet, sometimes with nature sounds, sometimes guided meditation from YouTube. Sometimes in bath. 🙂

Just try to focus on your breathing, how it moved your body, its rhythm. Acknowledge everything you mentioned but just let it go and focus on your breathing.

I meditate with no sound when doing the fab ones and with Hindu mantras via YouTube and Bluetooth speakers at other times

Quiet. Close my eyes. Sit in Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ position. Hands open to receive. At night or on my power nap, I have to meditate to sleep so I get in Childs Pose and turn on Calm Sleep Stories. But my preference is sitting in Yoga Pose, having meditation going or doing it on my own and taking a wonderful vacation for my stress response.

I use the Insight Timer app – completely free and over 8000 guided meditations to choose from; not to mention countless sounds and other options as well. Try it – get it from the App Store. You won’t regret it!

I prefer a mix of either guided (i.e. positive reinforcement) meditation or silent (affirmations) meditation. I feel like it keeps me light and centered. More thoughtful of others.

I meditate using the Insight App and use a guided meditation, with the lights off- sometimes a candle or insence burning

I meditate with a guide. Usually with an app while wearing headphones. I also wear a sleep mask to cover my eyes from any immediate distractions. I don’t worry about lighting or location too much as long as I don’t think I’ll be disturbed.

If i have no limits of time, then i meditate quiet. If i dont have much time, than i meditate with timer (sounds are quiet after some time). I meditate in the evening, so i keep my room dim. There is only a small lamp

In quiet and I try to shut out any not natural background noise (cars, etc.) When I can make it, it is the fullest meditation.
