| Does anyone else love staring into a fire? Posted: 02 May 2020 10:11 AM PDT I just set a nice fire in my firepit and just stare into the flames. I've always loved a good fire and I can just stare into for hours. There is something beautiful and calming about it. Anyone else feel the same way? [link] [comments] |
| I meditated for an hour during a panic attack Posted: 02 May 2020 12:11 PM PDT So I dont usually meditate in a panic attack but I thought maybe it could give me some insight as when I have them I get very confused and anxious. So I did the meditation, I have done the usual. Focusing on my breathing, a body scan, noticed the sounds and feelings of the external world and sensations of my body. I sat up against the wall straight as comfortably possible. Legs crossed but not in lotus. Im not at that level yet It was a weird experience to say the least. I noticed I was trying to control my thoughts the majority of the time (ex. Think this not that). Im not sure if meditating during a panic attack is useful but seeing as I get them almost everyday I thought maybe it could reduce it somewhat. I also noticed at times I struggled to breathe. Other times I could let the breathe be even for a few seconds. My attention was a constant struggle to keep my attention on my breathing. But I kept returning to the breath for the whole hour. So I believe my panic attack has gone down by a little bit. Ive noticed when I get into this feeling I want to scream and punch a pillow. But my meditation opened up some compassion and empathy for the panic attack. I hope in many months or years I will have it completely under control. Does anyone else have any similar experiences? Edit: Maybe this is just another desire I have to let go [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 May 2020 03:29 PM PDT Hi, I wanted to show my meditation journey, because I feel it might help people who don't know how to start or simply don't because they don't think they are "spiritual" enough or are stressing about doing it "right". This is my human point of view, and I am someone who once felt disconnected with herself and everything else. Here is my progress: I started on March 18th. I selected guided meditation cause I honestly didn't understand what "focus in my breathing" and "relaxing" and "not thinking" meant. I figured at least I had something to follow and I wouldn't just sit there feeling stupid lol. Day 1: I sit there cross-legged. Try to breathe, relax, do everything the lady says and I just go back and forth between thinking A LOT about a bunch of stuff and listening to the voice. My foot throbs cause of the pressure of my legs. I start getting back pain. At some point I feel huge wave of anxiety. I finish the meditation feeling that it was so much easier listening to someone! But also that I overall failed and was awkward because of all the thinking, anxiety and probably bad posture. Day 2: I try again. I think my posture is better. I still think too much. How am I supposed to not think? I get faint tingling in my neck. I also start seeing green and blue with my eyes closed and I focus on that, if I'm focusing on seeing the colors it's easier to "ignore" thoughts. Day 3: I focus on the colors again, although they are not always there. I start feeling I relax but I'm still thinking stuff, sigh. Also, as I use the same recording, I notice I "missed" a big chunk, as if I wasn't listening, but I was. I google this and it's called "the gap". I knew I didn't fall asleep, so maybe this is what "not thinking" means. I get interrupted by someone towards the end, I get VERY angry. Day 4: I shift to meditating laying down today. I didn't see any colors. I missed a big chunk of the recording. Day 5: I start feeling that my hands tingle, I think my arms too. I see the colors. I have an easier time relaxing, and sometimes I "miss" parts of the recording. This is now a normal occurrence. Day 6: I feel pressure in my forehead. Colors are starting to happen less and less, but I don't mind. As I relax easier now, I understand that it was never about not thinking, it was about thinking thing and letting them go, not engaging, not elaborating. If I hear something external, I don't get angry, I let it go too and keep meditating. Day 7: I see some color. My hands and arms tingle as always. Today my chest tingles too. At some point, I feel a huge wave of pleasure. It wasn't just genital-focused arousal, I feel it in my entire body, and then it passes. This wasn't "energy" or "tingles" or "magic", I was horny, lol. Day 8: Hands, arms, chest tingle in such a broad range that it feels like the entire area tingles instead of the body parts separate. My legs too, but just a little. Now here something "odd" happens, in my meditation, you at some point get to a forest and meet a "figure" (spirit, intuition, a loved one, etc). I just imagined a woman and stuck with it, I didn't expect to hear anything cause I just don't feel I have that ability so I always just sat next to her. This time I asked things, and I got answers. I know I'm a very clear way, that it was me answering this, but they were answers I got instantly, without thinking or worry. You know how they say when you want to choose something just go by your "gut" or "the first thing you feel like?" I have NEVER been able to do this, cause I jump to overthinking instantly, and this is what happened here. For the first time. Ever. Day 9: Nothing major happened. Same tingles. Missed a big chunk of the recording. Day 10: Tingles. Arousal again. I notice around this time, that I am more relaxed in my daily life. I have always had very automatic and hasty reactions to estimulus: If I saw or felt something bad, I would get angry and yell or talk in a mean way, like there was no difference between the two things. Now, it's like I get the same amount of angry, but there is a "gap" between that and my response. I can choose to respond differently. I also feel that I can't get "caught" in repetitive obsessive thoughts. If something bothers me I feel it, I let it go. Just as I do with any thought while meditating. This shit feels crazy. Me? Relaxed? Not snappy? Not overthinking? WTF. Day 11: Same as always really, but I get excessive jerking of my hands, leg or head, like involuntary spasm. After meditating, I was chatting with a friend, she had relationship drama and I was listening and giving advice. I've done this a thousand times before and no problem. Thing is at some point, I start feeling my chest really tight and a knot in my throat, I wanted to cry. I wasn't thinking about anything that could have triggered ME so it was outta nowhere!! Don't get me wrong, I care about her but I didn't feel THAT bad, it's not my relationship, lol. I asked her to physically describe what she felt. It was EXACTLY HOW I FELT, I AM 100% SURE I FUCKING ATE UP OR CONNECTED WITH HER PHYSICAL PAIN. I have never. NEVER. Felt this. Day 12: Same old, when I get to the part where I meet the "figure", my dead aunt appears. I don't see this as anything paranormal, I just think it's odd I'm thinking about her during meditation cause it's so random. I talk to my mom later, she (without knowing about my meditation) had dreamed about her that same night, and we hadn't talked about my aunt in a long while. Lol. Day 13: I get a terrible forehead and sinus pressure, I can't relax in the entire meditation, I google it and turns out I might be doing some weird focus or flexing with my eyes. Day 14: I go back to sitting position and I don't get the pressure, but I have a hard tome breathing for some reason. I get anxiety. Maybe I'm controlling my breathing, I'm not sure. I can't really relax and the session doesn't feel that successful but whatever, I fixed my face! Day 15: I can breathe better, no forehead pressure, just a faint tug. I notice a difference in sitting meditation since the first days. At some point I stop feeling my body, and even my face. Nearing the end, I overheat. Like I just feel really really warm out of nowhere. I feel I understand meditation and the process better now, I have seen real changes in my moods and emotions when I am NOT meditating and honestly, I want to keep doing this forever. (Note: I was doing 2hrs daily) [link] [comments] |
| Motivation for Meditation. Trust in yourself and let your mind roam the lands of freedom! Posted: 02 May 2020 11:28 PM PDT Now before I start talking about this, please do read everything even if it might look long. Remember I am not a pro or anything at this, I've only done this for a few months so I'm just trying to spread the positivity of this activity, so who ever is a starter brace for an amazing experience. Okay so first I want to say before I even had the thought of meditation I always viewed it as superstition nonsense right? Something that doesn't make any sense. I always viewed physical work like going to the gym and home workouts as muuuuch more powerful than this. [link] [comments] |
| I like to think of thought as the voice of consciousness Posted: 02 May 2020 11:10 PM PDT I find it helps me to accept them and be aware of them rather than villainize them if that makes sense and I hope you can apply it to your meditating [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 10:33 PM PDT When the thought arises, don't feed it with your attention, just let it slip away. Does that sound about right? [link] [comments] |
| Enlightened realizations or just random thoughts Posted: 03 May 2020 01:47 AM PDT I have been meditating fairly regularly for over two years now and practicing different mindfulness exercises. Most of my meditation sessions are pretty simple just focusing on the breathe or some mantra that I like that day. The main goal for me is to acknowledge my thoughts and let them go and realize that they are just made up shit the brain fires off to fill time The problem is sometimes I have really profound and what I would consider enlightened realizations or thoughts come to me while meditating and like every other thought I try to just let it go but I can't help but wonder if maybe I should be paying more attention to some of these realizations Is there a specific exercise or practice where the goal is to listen to the thoughts and learn from our own inherent wisdom that comes from hours and hours of being alone with the mind and body? Hope this question makes sense I don't even really know what I'm trying to figure out, just searching 🙏🏼 thank you [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 May 2020 03:00 PM PDT So I have been teaching myself meditation for a long while. Since I started therapy. When I first started meditation it was because of therapy and frankly I didn't believe it could help me. That was in 2007. now its 2020 and my whiteboard has a sentence on it. Meditation is Magic. I have started to explore youtube, because its free. I cannot afford the paid apps. But I have am slowly realising I can stay calm for longer periods of time. I have audden violent anger in me and I am starting to think I need a meditaion which helps me feel safe so am going to look for those. Especially those for trauma healing. I joined today because , for the past few yeara I have been part of various anxiety groups and depression groups and today I suddenly decided.... its time.. for me to move on. _^ Those groups helped me reach here, and its just time. I guess. To seriously begin to commit to meditation practise daily. I have zero discipline. So am going to take it one day at a time. I am doing this for me. To give myself the best chance at happiness I can get. This is my self care. And self love. And discipling myself will be my tough love for myself. [link] [comments] |
| Tingling sensation on face when in meditation Posted: 02 May 2020 11:40 PM PDT I have been practicing meditation, not following any specific technique rather my own interpretation of what I've found meditation to be. Just focusing on breathing, clearing my thought process completely at the apex of my exhale and inhale. To the best of my ability I try to not let my thoughts run and remembering to be ok with the fact that it's uncontrollable, and be indifferent about it and at peace. I see people do things like "20 minutes a day". I don't set a specific time instead I strive for around what feels like 45 minutes to an hour. Around about 30 minutes into my sessions I begin to feel a light tingling sensation in my face and head that escalates quickly once It begins. It happens every time I meditate for what feels like more then 20 minutes. It's a pleasant peaceful feeling but now every time I begin to meditate I constantly get the thought "when am I gonna start to feel that feeling in my face" "am I going to get that feeling", I think that because I keep thinking this that it won't happen, but it always does. I don't like how I feel like the tingling sensation is the goal of my meditation and on my mind but I can't kick that idea, after all the goal of mediation is that there is none. I've found the word "Bhanga" when trying to google it. Curious for more opinions, any thoughts or people experiencing this feeling too? Lmkkkk [link] [comments] |
| First timer here, Is my meditation right? Posted: 02 May 2020 11:39 PM PDT Just meditated for around 30 minutes for my first time, I've had ego death from LSD before so I sort of know what to expect or do I don't have many thoughts anyway, matter of fact I never think (I'm not exaggerating) so during it I didn't know what to do so I just relaxed and tried to let go (as if it was LSD) and I started feeling awareness in my breathing and my toes for some reason Then 10 minutes in I started feeling my heartbeat like it was coming out of my chest 15 minutes In I for some reason could imagine my room perfectly, every spot on my floor, thing on my desk and I could see myself 15-30 minutes in everything just got a little more intense, like now I could visualize more details and a little bit more intense awareness in my body After the meditation, I saw everything in greater detail for about 10 minutes and when I looked at my phone I knew I was looking at a screen if that makes sense, also when I opened my eyes I kinda had to gather myself for a minute Did I meditate right or should it have been different, more intense or something, or would this all be due because I were thinking these things mixed with placebo effect?

| Posted: 02 May 2020 03:20 PM PDT "They say that we humans are like young children who have a bad case of poison ivy. Because we want to relieve the discomfort, we automatically scratch...we don't know yet that when we scratch, the poison ivy spreads... Meditation can be described as learning how to stay with the itch and the urge to scratch without scratching. With meditation we train in settling down with whatever we're feeling, including the addictive urge to scratch, the addictive urge to avoid discomfort at any cost. We train in just staying present, open, and awake, no matter what's going on." -Pema Chodron [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 09:59 PM PDT What is the difference between sitting in silence and thinking about everything verse sitting in silence and thinking about nothing? If I sit in silence and stare off blankly where I feel calm and relaxed and I feel that I am in a meditative state but my mind is racing, is that meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 09:58 PM PDT If i identify myself with name. I would still exist without a name.so who am i? [link] [comments] |
| Am thinking about starting a meditation routine to help with my ability to deal with chronic pain. Posted: 02 May 2020 09:52 PM PDT Is there any tips, podcasts or videos I should be aware of before starting? What is typically the best kind of meditation for this sort of thing? Also, how long should I meditate during each session to see the most benefit? I meditated daily for 30 minutes for 6 months after my brain surgery and it seemed to help... some. But I got to the point of not wanting to continue due to how truly brutal it is to sit with severe pain. But I'm at the end of my rope and am needing a way to cope with this, so I figured I would give another 6 months a try. Going to give it all I got, thank you [link] [comments] |
| Hello, I’m 15 and I’ve been trying to meditate Posted: 02 May 2020 10:16 AM PDT I've been learning about the benefits of meditation, I have anxiety and I overthink things too much, I spend a lot of time with my thoughts so I thought it would help. I feel like I'm not able to meditate, even though when I try it's calming, but I can't help but I feel anxious and too aware of my thoughts. I'm trying to meditate so I can focus better as I'm studying. I also don't know if it's working so I overthink and things get stressful because I'm impatient. Surely I'm not alone, right?

| feeling alive after meditation Posted: 02 May 2020 10:23 AM PDT I'm a 14 year old boy and i started meditating about one month ago. I have been meditating using guided meditations because nothing else just works for me that well. After meditation i feel so great and full of energy i want to do nothing but smile. Felt like sharing this in here. What do you feel after meditating? [link] [comments] |
| ����Best 3rd eye stimulation/activation videos on youtube? ���� Posted: 02 May 2020 10:59 PM PDT I'm trying to find the 'best' 3rd eye stimulation/activation videos on YouTube since there are 100s all claiming to be the best. If you've delved into meditative binaural/isochronic frequencies and know of the best or most effective 3rd eye frequencies go and ahead and share if you want (The best I've found so far are from channels like love motives, theta realms and transcending frequencies) [link] [comments] |
