Sup /fit/, let's talk meditation.

I've always found the idea of it interesting, but I've never done it, and I'm not entirely sure if what I picture meditation to be is quite what it is. (I know it's not like in those crappy kung-fu movies, where the guys close their eyes and can suddenly catch bullets with their facial hair, but I've got really no experience with the whole thing, so yeah...)

So basically, could explain it to me (theory and/or practice), give some tips, or at least point me in the direction of some good reading material on it?

Yes, because there's no such thing as mental fitness.

sit in a quiet area, close your eyes and clear your mind. Clearing your mind is the hardest part to meditation, as our minds natural want to have thoughts. Many people count their breaths up to 10 and do that over and over again to aid in concentration. Some people also chant.

According to a few meditation things, you need to focus on a single idea or "mental object", then when thats the only thing left in your thoughts for a decent amount of time (maybe 3 minutes?) take it away.

Not sure if it works, just what I read.

meditation isnt going to help you with that. Physical fitness, good nutrition and sleep however, is.

That's typically the way it's done AFAIK. My mom put me and my brother in a meditation class once, and that's how it was taught. I didn't get anything out of it though, since I thought the whole idea was bullshit and my mom is convinced meditating people can levitate.

You have far worse problems than your mental fitness.

Meditation and crunches really helped me lose weight faster than crunches alone.
