One of my favorite methods of meditation would definately be the "iron cross", u take two 5lbs dumb bells, one in each hand and hold your arms out straight for as long u can. Even the toughest guys wills feel a nice bit of strain. The thing is you have to use your mind to push your body to do this. Almost all people can physically do this it's only a matter of can u make your body do it. The more u do the holds the better you can take pain and push your body to its limits. What kind of training do u use to help push your limits, mentally.
