Instead of making a new thread about this, I decided to just ask my question on this one.
Sometimes my brain gets very overwhelmed with everything it's taken in throughout the day...my thoughts will be racing and I'll start to get extremely anxious...to the point I feel like I'm going to go crazy (literally). There is a technique I've learned to do to release my mind of the racing, anxious thoughts.
I'll lock myself in my room, shut the blinds, put earplugs in, lay on the bed (on my back) and close my eyes...clearing my mind of everything. Once my mind is cleared, I just lay there relaxed, with a clear mind, occasionally taking deep breaths. I'll do this for probably 10-15 minutes.
My question: Is this considered meditation? I'm not doing anything spiritual, just clearing my mind of everything and relaxing.
Whatever it is, it works really well. And I recommend it to anyone who get overwhelmed with thoughts throughout the day.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
