No, but I often zone out for hours at work.

I tried but Iโm too lazy to sit down lmao
I used to very frequently. (For about 3-4 months, 5-7x a week)
Don't anymore. Wish I did
Iโve always been super chill. Never really needed to focus to meditate. Nor really needed to in general.
yep once or twice a week for 10 mins or so. i use very basic audio-guided mindfulness. very basic words, no music or specific topics.
make me feel refreshed and relaxed, just feels healthy
I pray instead: I prefer praying over meditating.
Unless I were meditating on Godโs Word.

Yeah but I'm not into the void. I just meditate on images that are far away from people.
They come to me naturally and develop into their own trains of thought which I abandon one after another.
I need to watch it again but i recently watched a sourced video (im french unfortunately so I won't link it) with studies that showed that meditation has limited benefit and can sometimes be dangerous to some people in the long term.
