meditating while high

Does anybody get high before they meditate? If not regularly, have you before and what do you think? I tried it a little while ago and I am not sure what to think. I have been meditating for a few months now regularly, and it seemed pretty hard to concentrate on breathing- a got noticeably more closed-eye visuals, kind of distracting. I know some people love to do it though. What are the positive aspects?

I think that your problem lays in the fact that you are trying the same methods of mediatation when you are in a drug induced state as when you are sober. I think the key thing (for me at least) is to just go with the experience and the "profound" meaning or key insights will find you. Trying to find them yourself is very hard expecially on the more powerful psychedellics like LSD. Good luck!!

Yeah, good point. I guess a concentration-type meditation is probably not the best idea while baked. Just kind of "going with it" sounds like a good idea. Thanks

I think meditation is good any time.. day or night, stoned or sober, awake or asleep.

I agree....meditation is good anytime. My point was that the same methods for sobritey are difficult to achieve when you are tore up. When I am trippen on shrooms or acid, thoughts, and theories and ideas just find me, or pop into my mind. Which is still a valid method. Trying to gain insight by looking for it is difficult. So be free, easy, loving and peaceful and greatness will find you!!

I think there are many different forms of meditation which can be used for different states of mind. Meditation doesn't have to be searching for insight or oneness or anything.. it can just be trying to clear the mind and be peaceful... hell I meditate standing in line at the store

i agree, i only meditate with weed and let my other drugs just flow on their own, i like to just enjoy them. i frequently meditate on weed, i always get a weird sensation of body seperation however it does not produce an astral projection. last week i felt as if my feet were in the air as i layed on my bed, cool but not overwhelming. to tell you the truth i do not even feel like i am in my body as i was before, my consciouness meditation produces that effect and i am constantly doing it, it is addictive.
