I've been trying this off and on since those posts, and I'm finding it truly is relaxing! I want to recommend it.
For myself, I'm hogtied tight enough that I can't move my legs at all, but not so tight that my hands and feet might lose circulation. As we all know (I hope) when you're tied up, your partner is supposed to check your hands and feet frequently for color. With medative bondage, you need to remain bound for (I think) at least half an hour to get any real result.
Another way we do this is for me to be tied to a table Don has altered for bondage. I'm lying face up, with my wrists tied together over my head, and then attached to the head of the table by a hole that's drilled there. My ankles are tied together, and attached to a hole on the opposite end. My legs are tied together--lots of rope!--at my upper, upper thighs (

The second method is really much better, as I can't move at all, where I can roll around a little if just hogtied. However, it takes much, much longer to tie me to the table and untie me afterwards. Also, being ballgagged lying down, unable to sit up, becomes a lot more uncomfortable after a while than when hogtied. Cleave gags, while lying down for a while, poses a safety risk, so we use a ballgag when I'm tied to the table.
Blindfolds and gags also help the experience

This works wonders for me, and might not for others. I just wanted to recommend it.
