Didn't do much for me. I'm fine with others doing it. I guess i sorta still do it in my own way as well but it's by really really paying attention to music. Like lie down in a fully black room and only have music. So maybe it is still something I do a lot...I intentionally engage my imagination a lot with free form pointless writing and drawing or just sometimes putting on noise music and spacing out. So that might count but anything typically seen as meditation doesnt do shit for me

Sure, I didn't mean to say you should still be doing it or anything. I don't do what I'd consider to be "real meditation" anymore either. What you're doing sounds cool and I'm glad you get something out of it.

Getting setting out of thing seems to be the point of meditation as far as ive had it explained in any way that makes sense
