| I've started my day with this Chinese proverb in mind. Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:54 AM PDT Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:53 PM PDT If not, how do you realize it? It's hard to know the effect until I suddenly stop it [link] [comments] |
| Do you Think About Meditation When Meditating? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 08:21 PM PDT For example, the mind likes to trick me into thinking about the benefit of meditation. I think about a video I watched about meditation, I think about how should I do this meditation thing right during meditation etc. Maybe I will think about this post tonight during meditation and get lost in it for a while :) . For me, other thoughts are easier to stop and I can refocus my attention on my breath, but "meditation-thoughts" are harder to stop and it generally distracts me for longer period of time.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:02 AM PDT Some days ago I discover guided meditation which looked really good, it didn't have too many views which means that it wasn't commercial. So i clicked and just listen i didn't have any intention to meditate, i was in front of the computer and it just happens I could completely distinguish my heart and my mind and notice a very obvious difference between it....AND as we know the mind can be tricky, but in this case mind completely lost his power. and i was in the heart 100% per cent. After that everything was amazing, i notice that in life we have just one goal... And that is to give, Here i meditation if anybody is interested: https://youtu.be/kR8Vswm6bcE [link] [comments] |
| Trouble with what I think is restless leg syndrome Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:23 PM PDT The first time I used a guided meditation before bed it was amazing. Best sleep of my whole life, but most of the time when I try I start feeling like there's bugs crawling on me, I remember I was reading about lucid dreaming one time and someone said it was your brain checking to see if you're awake or not, so I try to ignore it, occasionally ignoring it until my limbs go numb it works, but other times it's so powerful that it becomes painful and I can't ignore it anymore. I don't know what to do and it's extremely frustrating, which of course ruins the meditation, any advice would be amazing. [link] [comments] |

| I found that my mind's fear exists independently from the stories it attaches to it Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:03 AM PDT Yesterday I was practicing mindfulness throughout the day and actively saying no thank you to unkind and catastrophic thoughts that were trying to gain energy in my mind. After several hours of doing this, my mind became completely quiet; however, I experienced a large wave of fear in my body without any thought or story attached to it. I witnessed this fear rise and fall like waves for about 30 minutes until I reached a state of homeostasis again. I'm wondering if the anxiety attacks I've experienced throughout my life aren't actually triggered by anything - but my mind wants to narrate their etiology to feel safer about the experience. Relaxing and patiently witnessing the fear like thT wasn't overwhelming at all and I'm really grateful for yesterday's opportunity to go through that. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:46 AM PDT She was about my age and relatively my size and shared a similar personality as mine. But calmer and more 'focused' than I was. My grandmother has constantly suggested me to Meditate and i don't know how to meditate but research about meditation has taght me that it's connecting and being aware of your deeper thoughts... What will happen to me if i meditate for say 1 week? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 08:16 PM PDT Hello everyone, I was meditating at night before bed time and used to have very nice experiences like body getting light, spine vibrating etc.. I switched to early morning meditation after waking up thinking that I could carry that energy throughout the day. But during morning meditation I'm experiencing very intense feelings of my upper body getting pulled or like an attempt of separation from the lower body. Its like a trip from an intense drug. It pulls me or throws my body into space and feel like I'm moving upwards at a high speed. I get very anxious and my heart starts pounding fast at this stage. Please let me know what's happening, is it good or bad and also how do I approach this feeling, because it is quite scary. [link] [comments] |
| Meditation for healing physical injuries. Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:50 PM PDT I practice meditation on an off, lately I have been much more constant and I wanna learn more about this topic, any recommendations based in experience will be very much appreciated, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Isn't meditation just a mental exercise? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:53 PM PDT Meditation seems to be rarely compared to physical exercise that relies on extreme focus. I see hundreds of comments that claim nothing else can bring the same effects to the brain as meditation. Its sometimes treated as a link to a spiritual world. I scan studies and I don't see any benefits that can't be claimed through physical exercise (cardio in particular). I hear of people bursting into tears from heavy training (MMA mostly), some stories from marathon runners sound incredible, mental euphoric experiences that are similar to those here. Ps. Combining the two, meditating after high intensity training feels amazing. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:28 PM PDT So, I end up meditating a lot right before sleep. I either sit up or lay down but I every so often, just as I am sort of sinking into a deeper meditative state, a big noise outside happens. Or it will happen in the stairwell of my apartment. It's a very jarring shock that knocks me into a state of frustration and anger. I get so upset and just recall all the other times it has happened. I don't know what to do. If I try to keep meditating, I end up getting angrier. I can feel it in my body. I just brew and get thoughts like "of course, right when I start to get relaxed" or "this happens every time". And I just get upset at how the noise, whether it be some high pitched dog bark, some car that decides to push down the gas in a 25 mph limit sidestreet, or just anything, happens right at that moment. Not before I start or after it happens, silence. I always read that not being interrupted is a key thing for meditation yet I can't seem to get a break. I mean it was hours of silence before that moment and it has happened like that so many times that I get a complex. Like what is going on? I hope anyone can lend any tips on how to deal with this sort of thing but I just wanted to share. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:16 PM PDT Lasting peace of mind can only be achieved through true worship. By chanting True mantras of the god's situated in chakras of our body we'll achieve complete peace of mind. One has to open these chakras by recitation of mantras of the respective deities.

| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:11 PM PDT So I've been meditating for roughly 3 weeks daily with the Waking Up app. I'm struggling to understand what Sam Harris means when he says, "notice what happens to the thought when it disappears. " Or something along the lines of "observe where the thought disappears to. So what exactly happens? It disappears, nothing really happens to it as far as I can tell. Observing the thought itself would just imply I'm thinking again, about my thoughts. Someone enlighten me, I'd love to understand. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:08 AM PDT Been reading this "Way of Zen" book by Alan Watts, and it's perspective on the idea that thought is just that, an idea, a convention. But this idea is everywhere, I mean everywhere. In the lion king "Look past the eyes", in the cliches of "treat others how you want to be treated", eye is 'I', life is death, "to be or not to be". Alan Watts repeats this phrase throughout the first few chapters: "Samsara is Nirvana", roughly, the cycle of constant rebirth, is itself the freedom. The tears that rolled down my cheek when it finally clicked were the same tears "I've" cried a thousand times. Thank you to all around me, for without you I would not have been able to see this. Much love folks [link] [comments] |
| Continual headache going on a week now.. And it has to do with my inability to meditate properly. Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:17 PM PDT A quick explanation : Im going to make things clear here, I meditate for self improvement like most people. But I meditate in efforts to convene with the parts of myself and make progress with them. If I refer to a meditation as "unsuccessful" it means I was unable to convene with these parts. Late last week I took initiative to meditate. However, I didn't find myself successful, my brain was too cluttered and couldn't relax enough to stay meditative. Then, the next day my headache persisted. So I meditated again. I got a little further. But I kept having trouble diving deep within myself. It was like I kept being pushed back to the surface. However I finished my meditation yet again with a worse headache than I began... And it persisted into this week. Even after having a few tokes to try and ease it, or ibuprofen... Etc. Every time I try to relieve it, it seems to resist or get worse. I think I deep down know now that this headache is a result of some internal issue.. But I am unable to reach the parts of myself that are causing it behind the scenes, to work it out of my system.. Advice?.. Thank you ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 04:20 PM PDT Alright I'm fairly new to mediation and I don't even know it I'm doing it right. I was laying in bed still as possible with some guided mediation on in the background and my head starting spinning and it felt like I was about to be sucked out of my body and I panicked and moved. It was a great feeling yet soo scary I thought if I left my body I'd never be able to return [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:44 PM PDT Anyone else go into phases at different times in the year, of meditating? I seem to feel the need to do it when it's sunny and warm, and I can really be present when I have the sun on my face. I also seem to do it more right near the end of the summer season right up until the about mid-October and then I just stop. I seem to do this every year. [link] [comments] |
| Do you meditate in silence or guided? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 05:32 PM PDT I've been meditating with guided for the past 6 months since I started. Recently I have done no guided just a timer and i feel like Its getting stronger! [link] [comments] |
| Can I lose progress by having less quality meditation sessions? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:01 PM PDT Basically, I have days, like today, where for some reason it is just extremely hard to meditate, even though I've been doing it for over a year. Honestly, I'm slightly depressed, so that is likely the reason. My heart beat feels heavy, I'm very tired and distracted, etc. I still make it a point to sit for 35 minutes, but I notice time that I am with my breath is significantly diminished. I don't have the effort in me, sometimes. It's like trying to workout when your body just says no. Just to make a point to myself, when I recouped energy I did a more quality 15 minutes, and I am hoping that progress is not lost when I have these off-days. Thanks guys. [link] [comments] |
