Hello Eleise and Everyone,
I don't "meditate" to increase my abilities, my abilities increase when it's the right time for me. I've tried to increase them in the past, but nothing happened. I finally saw a pattern to when my abilities increased and it must be on my own spirits/guides schedule, no one else's, not even my own ego, lol!
On the other hand, I prefer quietness in general. Too much noise makes me nervous, high energy people, throw me off too. I prefer to sit still (I love nature and love to be in it), but I cannot take amusement parks, all the noise and activity puts me on edge and I end up being drained by the experience.
