Do you practice meditation?

I am still a novice to the art of sitting quietly, but I've always found it to be very helpful.

Peace comes easily when the mind is tranquil, the body still.

I have meditated both sitting and standing. I've also done walking meditation and yoga nidra (yogic sleep). My favorite meditation experience was doing an all-day silent yoga and meditation retreat.

I enjoy non-traditional forms of meditation, too: making art, hula hooping, listening to natural sounds in public spaces, even while riding the train around the city.
