To me it makes my symptoms worse, ie more voices. Some claim it helps.
I had done body mind relaxation, by making it a repetitive task everyday.
While at work was a real good results.

Meditation in yoga makes me fearful I think linked to traumatic experiences. But the practical side I enjoy. As its a form of meditation. There’s also walking meditation which is good to do. Its centred on mindfullness. I tried buddhist meditation and that was very different. I loved it. Was very freeing and centered my mind. But i’m not currently diagnosed with schizophrenia. I’ve experienced a lot of psychosis though. In ten years.

I’m supposed to be suffering?
Whoops.
I can’t do it. For some reason, it triggers my psychosis.
I have used “light” meditation like mindfulness. It was very effective agains my anxiety and i still use if i have a panic attack even i don’t meditate any longer. If you once learned “the trick” it is very effective against anxiety, but not depression
