Has anyone had any positive results with meditation? I read in this forum that some people had been looking into "mindfulness" as a technique, and I went and bought a book on it and it has you do a half hour of "formal" mediation (sitting) as well as "informal" meditation (mindfulness). What I notice in these sitting sessions is that when I'm relaxed and something disturbs the quiet, like the house creaking or some other small insignificant noise, I get a shot of adrenalin as if someone snuck up behind me and fired a gun. Surely this is not normal. A hyperactive "fight or flight" reaction? Anybody else experience this? Seems like I could lessen it after a little while of "disconnecting" with my body.
