I'm seeing now that meditation may have different meaning for some people. It could be that trying to do it according to a set definition is why it doesn't work.
Sitting with my legs crossed and all that stereotypical stuff actually hurts for me and I don't find it helpful. But sitting with a cigar and contemplating or just existing in the moment with the cigar has a calming and productive outcome for me. Is that meditation? I don't know, but it's worth thinking about if you have been at it for 6 years. Is it possible that meditation for you is something different than what you have been doing?
How I meditated to address anxiety probably isn't how I'd do it today. Lots to think about. I have no specific questions. Open ended conversation like this is what I'd hoped for.
