Inspiration tip: Try meditation

I am not particularly good at this one myself. But I do what I perceive as similar, and to the same effect. For example, I run. When running, I am letting my mind flow, and I get the most fantastic of ideas. I can solve problems, and I have stories unfold in front of my eyes as I run through the city or the forest.

I did do meditation when I was younger, and I recognize the effects when I run.

What is your experience with meditation? Do you have some exercises or methods that give you similar effects? How do you apply these in your everyday life?
