Whether medetating, or goofing around, I always empty my mind first.
There are a few excercises, I guess you could call them, I do. Here's some examples.
I invision a grey dot. I start spinning the dot until it becomes a ring. After it becomes a ring I start to add emotion to it (hard to explain). I start spinning the ring around until it makes a sphere. I then try to move the sphere down my right arm to my hand, and then through my left arm to my other hand, ect. Sometimes I expand it so that I'm inside of it and mess around with that, or try to feel it outside my body.
I preform some visual spacialization routines. Simple stuff; I just create the image of a geometric shape and then start playing around with it. I'll split it into two then change their color or rotate my view, or make them into new shapes. Lots of that kind of thing.
A newer one I've been trying is a kind of lucid dream medetation. I really like the idea of lucid dreams, and have been studying how to do this. I currently suck at it, but hopefully I'll start to get the hang of it.
I meditate daily. Did you know that Jet Li once meditated for 14 hours stait? Must have been on to something
Edit: You'll have to forgive any incoherence with my posts today; I'm low on sleep
