| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:35 PM PDT Do not try to stop thoughts. It will never work because it's unnatural. Try to disown them instead, do not follow them and watch them like passing clouds. Create a distance between you and your thoughts. It is very much like letting the birds fly over your property but not letting them build a nest. It takes a fair bit of practice. Once you master this art, you can see yourself entering that void so naturally and staying there as absolute peace. This is the secret to meditation. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 May 2020 01:38 AM PDT Motivation is elusive. It is an emotion. And like all other emotions it comes and goes of its own accord. So counting on motivation to get things done isn't a very reliable approach. So how do you keep going, when motivation is low? What keeps you moving? What keeps you doing the things that need to be done? I find myself riding the waves of emotions. Sometimes I go strong, and inevitably I crash. I'm not able to achieve consistency, stability. On a high of positive emotions I conceive the ways I want to live my life. And when that emotional wave comes crashing down, so do my plans. I can envision my ideals. But the up and down motions of my mind prevent me from executing it consistently. How to achieve consistency? What do you draw the energy from, when your emotional wave is riding low?

| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:05 PM PDT I don't know if such a post is allowed on this sub, but I just need to say this. Thank you, meditation, and thank you to any beautiful person that takes it upon themselves to teach meditation. Before I discovered meditation, my mind was a wild beast. Always thinking disgusting and sinful thoughts on its own free will, and me, doing my best to not think of such things, only making it stronger. But then after researching on reddit and discovering the potential of meditation, I learned that the solution was right in front of me the whole time. To just accept that my mind was an uncontrollable monster, and to focus on what's around me instead. Thank you to the person who invented meditation, thank you for helping me master my mind by just breathing. [link] [comments] |
| Half lotus - Numbness of one leg Posted: 07 May 2020 01:48 AM PDT Hello, I usually meditate in half lotus, switching from one leg to the other on a daily basis. After 30 to 40 minutes, the leg which is on top usually gets numb. When I try to look this up on google, most comments seem to consider general numbness of both legs. The numbness varies from day to day, for psychological reasons of course, but also, I believe, because of the orientation on my underlapping foot and the way it comes in contact with my thigh, possibly pressing on a nerve. Is there an ideal position or orientation for the underlapping foot to minimize this effect ? Maybe getting it close to the tibia rather than the femur ? Thank you ! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 01:25 AM PDT I've found that I never get bored from meditation. When I am in a light meditation, and I want to do something else, I feel boredom. When I start feeling sad or emotional (Because meditation is letting me get in touch with emotions) I feel a sense of boredom(escapism). But in deep meditation, I never feel boredom. It doesn't exist. How do you feel about that? Are you experiencing the same? What is your theory as to why boredom is so rarely present in a great meditation? Have a nice day! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 12:44 AM PDT One is endlessly talking about problems, suffering, difficult situations and so on. This talking saves one from facing the irritation, discomfort the situation is creating. You have bound yourself to this pattern. When you stop talking, stop harping upon difficulties and so on-the pattern is broken, your safety zone is disturbed. Now any action (or no-action) is relaxed, conscious. Transformation has happened. If you do not label your feeling good (happiness, pleasure, relief) or bad (fear, anxiety, confusion) – you will notice that no feeling stays or stabilizes. It arises and withers away. You are on the Original ground. Any action is relaxed, conscious. It is the labeling that perpetuates the trouble as if discomforting feeling is something alien and comforting feeling can be held.

| Posted: 06 May 2020 11:51 PM PDT I am ashamed that it took Covid for me to express Gratitude this often to my spirit guides. I am sorry. Thank you for my loved ones being alive. Thank you for their having food and homes. Thank you for their health. Thank you for the roof over my head and food in my fridge. Thank you for my best friend. Thank you for my Nunna. I love you.

| Anyone had success using meditation to deal with compulsive behavior? Posted: 06 May 2020 09:22 PM PDT Hi all, I'm mostly just looking for words of encouragement from anyone who's gone through something similar cuz I'm feeling really discouraged. I've been meditating just three weeks. I started meditating to help me gain control over compulsive behaviors I struggle with, mostly compulsive internet usage (I spend 9+ hours per day on my laptop shopping online / watching porn / stalking people on social media etc) . When I'm not online I'm running fantasy sequences in my head of being a different person. I've done this since I was very little and just learned that it's considered maladaptive. Both of these behaviors have always been compulsive and I thought meditation could help me gain some control over them. However, I'm 3 weeks in and am finding that even when I have success for a few days of focusing on my practice, I'll "relapse" and go on even longer internet binges than I did before, leaving me completely numb and foggy-headed. Lately when I feel the urge to check Instagram 10x in the span of an hour, for example, I'll meditate for 20 mins, and as soon as I'm done the urge to check social media will be 2x stronger, and I feel another days-long "relapse" coming on (sorry to speak about internet usage as a "relapse," I know it's not a chemical dependency but it's the only way I know to speak about something I feel I don't have control over). Tl:dr Started meditating to help me gain control over compulsive internet usage, meditating seems to make the urges even stronger. I feel like I'll never gain control over these habits or get my life back. [link] [comments] |
| Been meditating multiple times a day and reaping the benefits the last couple of weeks Posted: 06 May 2020 09:20 PM PDT I haven't looked up any guides but I did try out an app a year ago (didn't keep it consistent). For some reason my inner self is telling me to figure out my perfect meditation routine instead of watching a vid or something. I feel like going by someone else's routine would elongate the process of peace with my own source of consciousness. If all answers are found within the self why would I not put in the extra time and figure out how to get there [link] [comments] |
| Meditation helped me remember a traumatic memory Posted: 06 May 2020 07:22 PM PDT So I believe that when I was very young (maybe before 5 years old) I fell off something such a table or someones arms. I have been meditating everyday for an hour. So my question is, is meditation helping me remember this? And can meditation help cure my ptsd? [link] [comments] |

| Relax, Baby. Guided Meditation for all. Posted: 06 May 2020 01:56 PM PDT My wife has just launched her YouTube channel called Relax, Baby. If you are #anxious, new to #meditation or interested in Hypnotherapy please check it out, she has such a wonderful voice personally I think her voice should be on Headspace. [link] [comments] |
| Ive been meditating for 30+ minutes a day for about a month and i feel great. Posted: 06 May 2020 09:59 PM PDT Before you ask, yes, sometimes i think 30 minutes is a long time and sometimes i do get impatient. I think that this impatience that comes out is a good thing, i get to notice that i am impatient and i can easily brush it off and get back in the moment. This has carried over into my daily life pretty obviously. I used to have bad road rage and would try to speed everywhere to get there faster. Now i notice that i can be stuck in traffic and just enjoy the colors of all the cars around me, the swooshing noises of traffic, the music playing. Its amazing. Ive also noticed that i notice how im feeling more and can correctly gauge if that emotion is suitable for the moment i am in. I notice that sometimes i will get angry but now i can easily focus on whats happening right now and realize there is no need to be angry. Ive had a lot of improvement in my conversations, i can keep them going longer and seem to always have a response locked and loaded for what has been said. Overally i feel a higher sense of well being, more fluent communication, improved focus, immensely less stress and over all a sharper mind. Of course i still think and make plans for the future but i only think of whar i can do right now tomeet those goals. Ive also been able to think of the past without getring upset or anxious about what i could have done. I now realize that the only thing to gain from rhe past is experience and learn from it. I definitely reccomend a longer meditation session. It has improved areas of my life that i didnt even know need to be improved. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:44 PM PDT I'm a beginner at meditation and I'm curious to know if listening to soothing music is okay during meditation to keep me calm, or do I have to do it in complete silence? [link] [comments] |
| Why do my under arms get sweaty when I meditate sometimes? Posted: 07 May 2020 01:14 AM PDT I have bad social anxiety and other issues and I do sweat slot under arms. But meditation I was hoping would calm me and help improve my psychological coping. But I noticed yesterday (and it has happened before) that I got sweaty under arms when I mediated? Why is that? I was just trying to follow my breath. Sweating is evidence of an activated fight or flight so why does this happen! Any insight? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 May 2020 12:42 AM PDT I am a very angry person but Ive noticed from meditating that the anger passes and is filled with contentment. What is this? [link] [comments] |
| Good guided meditations on Youtube? Posted: 06 May 2020 06:08 PM PDT I have been searching for a while for good guided meditations on Youtube but all I have found so far its personally for me quite distracting or it mostly just feels like too much talking which hence does not allow me to into a meditative experience. It would be cool if you guys can post some links of recommended meditations here :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 05:18 PM PDT I'll preface this by saying I'm a 19 year old male, discovered meditation through an interest in self improvement and spirituality. I have fallen in love with the idea of meditation and it's potential, and have even noticed subtle benefits in very small amounts of it. But I like to say it's both the easiest and hardest thing I've ever tried to learn how to do. And my big issue is I can hardly find or maintain the patience for it. I know deep down, especially now, there's not a thing better I could be doing for myself and could easily meditate an hour every day or more if I wanted. And well I do want to. I find it hard to find the motivation to begin doing it often, as with most things in my life. Most of my other lifestyle choices are not particularly healthy (sporadic sleep, bad diet, little-no exercise, occasional weed/alcohol consumption, addiction to video games, YouTube, and porn/masturbation. Sooo maybe meditation just shouldn't be my starting point or a solution. But sometimes I feel like it's the easiest thing to do and that maybe it could help slowly sort out the rest? I don't know though I need feedback there. Even when I do meditate, I get so antsy and impatient and just wanna get up and do something else even when I know it's the best thing I could be doing. Sometimes I make it 15 minutes and enter a state of considerable quiet and some oddly strong positive emotions. But even when I get there I just feel like it's not gonna go any deeper than that unless I sit there another 30 minutes and really focus. And I would love to go deeper with it, but I just never have that patience and wish for any advice on how to maintain it. Also another detail that I think I need to get over and want some insight on, I'm really picky about my setting. I feel as though I can only meditate outside, and if the temperature is perfect. It's so hard for me to want to meditate indoors or when the weather is bad. Any tips on overcoming this? [link] [comments] |

| An encounter with my spirit guide Posted: 06 May 2020 11:14 PM PDT I just came out of a short meditation to connect with my known spirit guide Jessica, and to see if I had any others. Eventually, I noticed 3 other figures beside Jessica- a gorilla, a man who looked insanely similar to Hagrid from Harry Potter, and a baby. My consensus is that Jessica has an insane sense of humor.
