My brother once told me he knew a guy who did this kind of Buddhist meditation where you chant this one line over and over. The guy wanted a BMW and he got it. I've never been attracted to the chanting form of meditation nor that form of Buddhism. But I do mindfulness meditation and it has everything to do with being able to heal as fast as I have. It keeps me grounded when my emotions feel over whelming. It helps me understand what's going on inside. I'm able to sort of what seems like a huge salad of different feelings happening to me at once. I recommend mindfulness meditation. But right now a BMW would be good too, so I might try meditating for that, just to see what happens.

Interesting link, though I wished to hear more about the process and more about how its administered. We believe anything that reaches a subconscious level such as this can be potentially dangerous, especially to those with DID and so you have to take the good with the bad. However, there are some out there with excellent resources and techniques. For example, there is a Body scan meditation for pain and trauma that releases tension and stress by, Jon Kabat Zinn.

We do mindfulness meditation and being aware and in the present moment as well and find that as you said, very helpful. There's an excellent book about it called "Full Catastrophe Living" by, Jon Kabat Zinn that has helpful ideas along this subject as well.

We find Tai chi and Qigong highly meditative stress reducing as well as a form of dynamic meditation by way of movement. Interesting topic.
