| Meditation made me realize the difference between the sound of people and sound of nature Posted: 15 Jun 2020 07:05 AM PDT When you hear a person talk, it feels like your obligated to reply rather than just listen. But the sound of nature is different in a way that no matter how loud the waterfall is all you need to do is just calmly listen [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:00 AM PDT Meditation made me realize that I am nothing special, but that is also the thing that makes me equal with everyone else. If I die, my family and friends will remember me. A few people out of the 8 billion on this planet. No one is really important to this universe, but we don't need to be. In a certain way, we are all just observers in this game of life. To be meditative is the nature of existence. [link] [comments] |
| Why is meditation so hard for me lately Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:34 PM PDT I sit down and just lose interest, how can I get back on my goal of daily meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Need opinion on 2 interesting yet confusing situations Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:08 AM PDT Greeting everyone! I've got 2 matters I would like you opinion on today: 1) I practise on a regular daily basis and have been doing so for the last couple of years. 2) Once in a while I find the need for self love and kindness so i practise Metta (or loving kindness) meditation. I put on a big smile and have a mantra of good thoughts for myself, and the feeling of love grows ever so much, but as it does my whole body seems to tense up, especially around the core, so everything inhale feels very forces, but still the feeling of love seems to grow? What should I make of this tensening of the muscles? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XISiGsXmXmM Kind regards - Jeppe from Denmark [link] [comments] |
| How do I meditate on something? Posted: 16 Jun 2020 01:40 AM PDT I've been meditating for about 6 months now. Just basic mindfulness meditation/breath meditation. Recently I've been hearing a good way to solve a problem or see something from a new perspective is to meditate on it. I'm not sure how to go about this. In particular, I would like to meditate on my goals. I've decided to write down a 5 year and 10 year goal, but when I thought about it, I have no idea what I actually want. Just that I want it to generally be in the realm of sport and fitness. Is there a way to meditate on this to try to discover more specifically what I want my goals to be? Thanks in advance ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone have experience using Holosync meditation with Dolby Atmos home theatre speaker? Posted: 16 Jun 2020 01:37 AM PDT Does Holosync work with Dolby Atmos home theatre speaker instead of headphones? Headphones does cause earaches in long run of excessive usage. I want to see if it could work with Dolby Atmos. Any thoughts? I know official recommendation is headphones. [link] [comments] |
| Three Days into Meditation and Five into an unexpected break up... Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:56 AM PDT ...it has already paid dividends. Learned very quickly to accept and work through my (23M) feelings during this difficult time. It's helped me accept that I can be on my own if life needs me to even if I don't want to. There's also a chance my girlfriend (19F) is just very overwhelmed with life as she's in college and is on pause. She made an impulsive decision and maybe she'll think it was a mistake. But I'm gonna be okay is what I'm saying. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 01:11 AM PDT Is there any meditators here who had a migraine problem and thinks that meditation has helped them decrease or even cease the migraine? [link] [comments] |
| Writing what comes to my mind while meditating Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:43 AM PDT Hey there, I am doing the 8-week meditation programme of J. Mark and G. Williams. In the first meditation, the narrator says to write the things down that come to my mind, and then go back quietly for the meditation. The thing is: if I write everything that comes to my head, I will spend (almoste) the whole meditation writing... Have happened to anyone here that did this programme already the same? (I am only in the second day of meditation, just asking here to be sure if I am doing right) Thank you all. [link] [comments] |
| Advice please - how to manage important thoughts while meditating Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:19 AM PDT Hi everyone! I have a recurring problem and would like some advice please. Often when I meditate, interesting thoughts pop into my head. Things I would like to investigate further, ideas for creative or proactive activities, reminders of things I forgot to do or have delayed with procrastination. Stuff that doesn't come to me in the normal course of my day. I seem to be at my most creative when meditating. Have any of you guys/girls experienced this? If yes, how do you deal with it? Is there anything written on the subject? I don't wan't to spoil my meditative experience, but I would like to bring my insights back with me too. Thanks in advance :-) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:25 AM PDT During vipassana, I know I'm not allowed to talk. But am I allowed to talk inside my head? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:04 AM PDT Usually when i meditate i will sit cross legged (not flexible enough for lotus position) or if its available a chair. I tend to go for sitting because i find it less limiting if you decide to meditatate somewhere spontaneous or that doesnt have a chair. But i find i get a dead foot or leg. I like to use as little resources as possible to make sitting with a meditation possible anywhere. Any suggestions to stop getting dead folt lr pins and needles? Thanks, have a great day [link] [comments] |
| I did a 10 min meditation session with help of a YouTube video Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:52 PM PDT Are there some sort of mp3 voices that can help me meditate and teach me how to meditate? [link] [comments] |
| Breathwork for Calming the mind ?? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:14 PM PDT Hi all, i suffer PTSD, and one of the issues i have is overthinking / emotional dysregulation, wondering what experiences people have had is being unable to calm the mind when triggered. Wondering if others have experience of using breathwork that have helped with this (i try and meditate but struggle) thanks [link] [comments] |
| Explosion on same day every time I meditate. Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:06 PM PDT I've noticed that every time I try to meditate. I end up exploding on the same day. It always happens. I don't explode on the days that I do not meditate. Because of this, I want to just stop meditation. I dont know why this is happening. But it is not worth it. [link] [comments] |
| Need some help :/ I want to make sure I’m making the right decision Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:12 AM PDT Hello you amazing people... I am 24 years old and about a year ago I completely stopped being friends with my childhood friends and cut them out of my life. I cut them out of my life because they were going down what I think is the wrong path in life and they use to talk down on me whenever I wanted to do something in my personal life. Also, I cut them off out of my life because I know I needed to make a change ! Skip to now, a year later. I realized I've been having anxiety lately because I feel like I'm not where I want to be in life currently. For the past year I just spent time with my family and random girls to fill this void of loneliness, but in reality in didn't help at all. I also get anxiety when I think about all the wasted time I spent pleasing others, like my friends and ex girlfriends and in return it did nothing for my life. Also, I'm 24 and I feel like I just wasted to much time focusing on other people that it's too late to go after what I want in my life and my goals :/ I figured out what helps my anxiety and these negative feelings is when I truly do stuff I love and feel like no one is holding me back, for example ( yoga, mixed martial arts, running ) Now the only problem I have now is that some days I feel very lonely, because I'm not friends with my old friends anymore ... and I currently only have 1 close friend left. But the unique thing about this , is that my mind is always telling me to " use this time to work on yourself and finally go after your goals in life" .. I was also in a 4 year relationship then after that a 2 in a half year relationship and this is my first time being single and it's been about a year in a half now of being single .. I know it's a long story, I'm sorry ... but what do you guys suggest I do ? I feel like I already know the answer because when I meditate, my mind tells me " work on yourself , use this time wisely " and I truly believe this voice I hear. Lastly, another thing I'm realizing... there is a special feeling you get when you're independent and focusing on yourself. Great feeling. [link] [comments] |
| An unexpected rush of energy during mindfulness meditation Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:13 PM PDT Hi, this is my first post in this sub and is more of a question, I'm trying to look for an explanation for what I experienced. I've practiced meditation since I was a kid, not daily but was frequent. Last year I decided to practice mindfulness daily during the night just to help me relax and sleep better. Everything went good the first week, I was sleeping well and pretty fast after I ended my meditation sessions (about 10-20min). My experience during these sessions was always like a fight to calm down my thoughts, not sure how to explain but was like if I were trying to relax muscles in the back of my neck that connect to my head or maybe was the sensation of trying to put my mind in a total blank, I don't know, is hard to explain. Anyways, I don't know what I was fighting against at but I know the first week I wasn't able to win, then during the second week I won and was a very very weird sensation. I experienced a complete rush of energy coming out of nowhere, was like if someone threw a bucket full with water and ice to me, adrenaline pure. I ended up jumping out of my bed with this crazy energy feeling very confused because I didn't know what was happening. So, in the end, I started that mindfulness session trying to relax before sleeping and ended up with this crazy rush of energy that stayed with me about 2 or 3 hours more. I focused next two days and was able to replicate it both times. then after that I don't remember what happened but stop meditating for a while and haven't been able to replicate that state again, I've felt close but not enough to reach it. I think I probably stopped because the only time I was meditating was at night and having that rush of energy wasn't very helpful when my goal was to sleep. have you experienced something similar or do you know what is it or what causes it? any other comment or question?

| Third eye white energy eel- anyone else experience this? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:41 PM PDT Okay so I'm not sure what else to do with this but if anyone has any insight at all I'd love to hear it because I'm at a loss with this one. I was meditating the other day and as I was sitting in meditation and had just closed my eyes I felt a fluttery energy or presence around me that kind of balled up into a white eel like energy that then slithered into my third eye area. The presence didn't feel positive or negative just had an "I'm late and blustery" vibe as it slithered into my space. Since that time I have found it unusually hard to meditate and my third eye feels dull. Usually I feel pressure, tingling, energy, etc in that space but now just dull, little to no energy. I'm going to keep plugging away and working on my meditation but would love any insight if anyone has any. Thanks and hope all is well. [link] [comments] |
| Just would really like to see if anyone has experienced something similar Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:19 PM PDT Hey yall. So I wanted to talk to you guys and see if anyone else maybe has gone through something similar in their meditation experience. So over the last couple months, of course I've had a ton of free time due to covid. Typically I meditate regularly for maybe 5-10 minutes every other day or so. But last month, over the span of two weeks I meditated in my backyard for about 4-6 hours a day. In that time I had one mystical experience and had several other life epiphanies. I'm not really sure how to say this, so I will just say it and see how to take it from there... but after those two weeks of intense meditation and spiritual awareness.. I do not feel at all how I use to. I feel almost completely unreactive. I went from feeling things all too much, to feeling almost nothing at all. During my intense period of meditation I just realized how "fake" my personality is as a whole. I've realized that I've faked so many feelings/desires just to keep up with the others around me. I'm starting to see that the person I truly am is not the person I've always believed myself to be. The person I think I am is actually not very nice at all and lacks more empathy than I was aware. So now, I'm in this place where I've accepted that im not a bad person, but not neccesarily a good one either... and I truly have no real desire to "fix" that. I know in my head that I should want to but if I'm being completely honest with myself, I'm okay with where I'm at.. which should be a good thing! Maybe I'll want to change in the future. But in this present moment, I've come to terms with my darker tendencies and cant really find a real sense of guilt. I think that we all have roles we are born to play and I've spent a lot of my life denying my role or being scared of it. I've been a victim in my many ways my whole life, so this might just be a way I'm taking back control. By integrating those darker parts. I feel better than ever honestly. It's just odd watching this old personality slip so easily away from me like it was nothing. Anyways, I'm just trying to see if anyone else out there has had a similar experience? Came back down from a mystical experience maybe a little less than impressed? Lol [link] [comments] |
| Will meditation help with my resentment and irritability? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:04 PM PDT I'm jealous of other people being so happy. I'm jealous of their ignorance. I'm jealous of their carelessness. I overthink everything. I want to forget all of that. Want I need is to forget bitterness but I dont know how. Please help. Thank you [link] [comments] |
