i would definitely be water if nothing else. im gonna get my scuba license soon. i love being underwater and being able to breathe. i just kinda dance in it. not like actual dancing, but i move in it for fun.

i was in the bathroom one time, and i decided to play with my heart chakra. so i stretched out my arms and made it spin faster and faster and faster with my eyes closed and i poured white light into it and then i made it explode and expand, and when i opened my eyes, the whole room had green light in it. i tried it with the yellow chakra and it worked, btu not as well. and ive done it with the green chakra one other time and it worked the same. i do it in front of a mirror though. i think it helps.

hmmm.....i guess no one knows what to say or they think im crazy....*sobs* maybe its cause i dont have a question. ok. explain the above phenomena cause i dont know what it would be classified as. i also have another experience. when i put pressure on my eyes, i see a vortex of checkerboards and explosions and with focus, i see a ring of yellow light. with more focus, the light grows brighter and becomes white. tonight, i was doing that, and it got so bright, it lost the yellow and it was pure white and radiant. i didnt feel anything, i just saw it with my eyes closed. anyway. sometimes i see images in it, sometimes its just a ring. ive been trying to contact my guides and i havent had any success although the person who channels them says they are ready to speak to me directly and that i need to learn how to raise my vibration and contact them. its so hard because i have nasal problems and i cant focus with all these stray thoughts and i feel so uncomfortable, and anxious, and its boring, and i get distracted, and then i cant focus, and i feel frustrated because its so futile, and then nothing happens, and my nose is acting up and it makes me so mad DX and i cant do it. he says i can do it on my own and it will make me stronger if i learn how on my own. its so frustrating. i trust him and everything, but i guess i dont believe in myself or something. and its so hard and i cant do it. i cant meditate and it pisses me off so much DX anyway. *rant over* if anyone has anything to say, any tips, questions, or comments, please post them.

Do you meditate with music because I find it helps me to focus with music on and incsense.

I find meditating difficult as well. If there is just silence, I really don't seem to be able to do it. There is one piece of music that I always get better results when I use it. It's called 'Painting The Ocean' and I found it on a free download site. You could probably search for it and try it out.

The only other way I seem to be able to meditate is in bed at night, I put my hands on my stomach and just focus on my breathing. I find when I'm concentrating on my stomach moving up and down, less stray thoughts come along to distract me.

I'm still struggling with meditation, but hopefully with practice, it gets easier.

I used to take a candle to light for meditating and focused on the flame...sometimes it got freaky and I would feel negtaive energies and the flame would spurt black smoke and I would feel air swirling around me... ---- but anyway! lol maybe you could take your main element and focus on it... if it's earth...go sit in nature..like in your back yard or something by a tree, or a spot on the grass or the ground that is relaxing...or anywhere you want...

if it's water...take a bowl of water or something, maybe even put a good crystal or something in it as a focus point and stare without straining yourself.. try to let your mind flow, like water...along with focusing on your concern...

Fire...as I was talking about before...you could try a candle but I would be careful with those.. actually, you could look up the candle colors used for calling your guides, and use a candle with you for any of the elements you may be... it's just, at least for me.. it seems to attract negative forces. So of course you must shield yourself and ground well enough to keep them from distracting/annoying you. Gah these things get complicated... I bet you know so much more than I do about this.

Air...well.. you kind of breathe it...all the time... so it's just kind of there. I'm not sure what to do...you could play music as the others suggested. relaxing music. oh, and I think negative energies don't seem to like music or singing...so you could try having some one while you focus on whatever your trying to.

Just in general..relax your body as well as possible. Do what you feel drawn to. If you feel drawn to putting your hands together and moving them in a strange certain way.. try it. and pay attention to anything you feel or see, hear...it will be difficult to hear anything for awhile...but when your guides come, they will let you know. You'll just "know" they're there and have feelings about certain things and words that pop into your mind, and when you feel them drifting away.. they are leaving... which you will know too.

Sorry, I hope I'm helping with your meditation issue...

my element is light. its half of spirit. shadow and light make up spirit. like yin and yang.

How do you know light is your element? How do you find out your element is? i Is it the one your most drawn to?

[Grenader]

yup. but i might be water. i dunno.

[Dweplyododo]

I felt you would be water. I think you should look into it. I think the element it associated with the direction west.

You can look at these...

Hmm....I think I might be earth. I looked at the websites you posted Silent Wonders it was very helpful I use to be close to water but I don't know what happened I still like looking into puddles(its so pretty) and and any other bodies of water and wading. Sometimes I even scry with water. But I also like listening to the wind and the wind through the trees and looking up at the clouds. I like trees and flowers and meditating out in nature.
