The way I meditate is that I focus on my breathing. That is itself is a monster challenge. In a 10min span I can achieve concentration for a max of maybe 1 min and that's stretching it. But it really helps. For me it keeps me calm and collected. While trading I'd get really frustrated or flustered. Ever since I started meditating its helped, a lot. Now I just wish I could do it more often. Vik.
Are you a TM practitioner? I find that chanting is fine as long as you do not get caught up in some cult (like the TM bunch). "Om mani padme um." now what can go wrong with that?
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. p.s. http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=966
