| Tried meditating without a timer with great results! Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:45 PM PDT i started meditating last month starting at 10 minutes a day. i thought that setting a timer would help me, but i found myself checking the time. i tried moving onto 15 minutes and it felt unbearable. i would check 2-3 times per session and thought i could only do 10 minutes. after doing some research on this lovely subreddit i found out that just setting a stopwatch to keep track of time without any limits is just what i needed. i meditated for nearly 18 minutes without looking at my phone once! i wanted to keep on going but my pup started whining to go out. i'm so thrilled! all thanks to this wonderful subreddit ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| MORNING ROUTINE - what works for removing negative thoughts? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:14 PM PDT When I wake up My brain instantly starts complaining for example: "oh not this shit again" "great another day on this planet" "i dont want to be alive" "im already scourning the day ahead" "i hate this, im so tired and sore i want to sleep forever" What's wrong with my brain? Do i really hate life and existing that much? I really hope not- My thoughts are frightening at this point. What kind of meditation mantra would you suggest to fight this ? EDIT: HI all, first of all, thanks for all the replies! it means a lot to me especially in these trying times. Hmm yes, I have been diagnosed with depression in the past and I've tried anti depressants but they gave me weird headaches i didn't like so i flushed them down the toilet. The thoughts are just so loud sometimes- i know they're just thoughts but I gotta remember that those thoughts are not me. I am so much more than that Thanks guys- i'll keep reading there's a lot to read! [link] [comments] |
| I think I finally went within !!!! Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:24 PM PDT It was very very brief and short. But I was lying down on the floor focusing on my breathing and I've never felt such a strong connection to my breathing, I could feel every single ounce of air in every exhale, and every inhale, as my chest rose and felt, I could feel everything expanding. It was amazing. I stopped focusing on my breathing and when just to my mind. And sat in the blackness with nothing... and then I felt a sensation in the middle of my eyes... and then it started flowing a bright Orange. And then it split into two. After splitting, I felt my nothingness just being flung forward and inside I just felt excited and happy and whole. And as my nothingness was traveling forward I just kept beaming and beaming with a feeling of bliss. It was beautiful. And then I slowly slipped out of it. It felt like it only last a minute but also forever? Is this normally or am I experience something that's not meditation? P.s the Orange that I saw was beautiful, it was such a vivid and robust color, unlike any orange I've ever seen. Could the Orange color mean anything? Or does that have any meaning to maybe one of the chakras? [link] [comments] |
| Meditation is only helping me see void Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:23 AM PDT Hello, Started meditating to let go of pain caused by family matters. The more I let go of negative thoughts, the more other thoughts too become less and less appealing. It seems as if I'm emptying myself from the inside. Nothing really seems to matter because there's no inherent value in things. I should give value to things, but if I myself am void, then what the hell is this? I swear I'm not on acid or anything like that, it's just that I thought meditation would make me feel better and it's turning me into a nihilist instead. Please help. [link] [comments] |
| Any tips to stop the constant monkey chatter? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:12 AM PDT I've only been doing meditation for around 3 days however my constant spam of thoughts can be very distracting. Apparently it'll go away but I'm worried it won't. Any tips to stop it? I overthink/analyse everything so that probably doesn't help/ [link] [comments] |
| What do you do when you don't feel like meditating? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:40 PM PDT I mean like really not feeling it. Do you just do it at a later time in the day like at night instead of the morning or do you play off of your mindset and make yourself be 'meditative'? I had to wallow a little today before I felt ready to authentically meditate. But once I got there everything went well. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:55 PM PDT Hi I had a conversation with my friend the other day, who had just gone through the horrid time of late leading to ptsd. I suggested to her that she takes up one of a few things to quiet her mind:
All of which are known to help to quiet the mind. So in answer to the above she said:
As is and was obvious to me is that she is going through what we all have gone through, which is an innate belief that there can be no change to our way of unless we want to change it...therefore excuses come into play. However being her friend for ten years and a meditation practitioner myself who benefits daily, I actually could not answer in a real tangible way "What is Meditation?" and "How do you touch it feel it smell it or even experience it?. I would appreciate your collective suggestions and answers on this please. Charlie XXX [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone get tired meditating? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:29 PM PDT For the last few weeks every time I sit down and am nearly at the end of my meditation session, I am jostled awake by Sam Harris saying that the meditation is down. It's a very strong tiredness, just wondering if anyone shared this feeling [link] [comments] |
| Being guided by the breath rather than anticipating it Posted: 16 Jul 2020 12:49 PM PDT Maybe this is really redundant but this realization has helped me immensely in my meditation. I'm still pretty new to all this but I always struggled to find 'the one' present as my mind kept trying to focus on different elements within the breath. Often times I already anticipated where my breath was going to be. Especially in between in and exhales. Now I'm waiting for my breath to guide me the way and I'm finally able to let go of this anticipating thought which clouded me actually being present. I hope this helps someone as it did me :) [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:01 PM PDT I hosted my first meditation group and I was so proud of myself for lots of reasons, but that is not the point of this post. I welcomed a few people by saying "Namaste." Then it was shared with me that, that is culturally insensitive. I honestly have not heard this in my 8 years of practice. I felt such shame for offending someone but I also didn't understand the reasoning behind it. I googled and found a LOT of articles on this subject. Has anyone else encountered this? What are your thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jul 2020 01:54 AM PDT Any good guided (but not chatty!) meditations for chakra healing? Inner child work too. There are so many and I'm not sure what I should be looking for to listen to. I kinda of have a hard time getting into a zone if the meditations are chatty though. Hopefully I can move on from that but I have "hey look there's a squirrel" level of focus these last few months. Thanks everyone! [link] [comments] |

| Regularly overwhelmed by the feeling of grace Posted: 16 Jul 2020 12:52 PM PDT Not sure if I can sufficiently describe this sensation and pattern, but I trust many of you reading this have had similar experiences. Grace, 'why me?', luck, blessings... it hits out of nowhere. I watch my breath, find stillness, and sob uncontrollably. I've been through emotional stages in my practice before, most notably what I considered to be a slow 'ego death' which took weeks (maybe months) to subside where I would cry over all the things that I denied, all the fear letting go as I gave way to something bigger than myself. Then it just stopped, and my sits became very peaceful. Now, a few years later, I am being regularly blasted by this feeling of divine grace, but again, some part of the ego is interfering with acceptance. I see my friends and the children I work with riddled with anxiety. I see those in wheelchairs and I feel lucky to have legs. I feel peace and desperately want to share it with everyone. I learn a lesson that touches me, and I feel blessed to have experienced it. I'm not sure what I'm asking, but I want to reach out and see if anyone has any advice. That 'ego death' phase was painful, and it did make practice a little dreadful. This is different, I'm not afraid of it, but I feel like I could do more justice to this feeling of grace if I could learn to accept it rather than question it. Writing this now, I realize sometimes during these episodes, it is likely that the ego has been planting seeds such as 'who do you think you are to experience such peace?' its faint, but it feels as if I don't deserve peace. Thank you for reading. [link] [comments] |

| Rebalance your chakras quickly! Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:00 PM PDT Skip down about halfway if you would just like to see the technique:; A little background. Ive been studying various cultural energetic scienes and have noticed a trend going on through all of them. Also with some occult, psychic, and psychology background. It all finally tied together. At least personally. I feel this was known by tibetan Buddhist culture but it doesnt hurt to share whats been learned without a guru! So ive always been able to imaginatively see peoples chakras but never trusted it. I started using a pendulum to see if it could verify the spin of the chakras based on what i saw internally. I did a blind test on my wife, 2 friends and i. By intuitively inspecting them, running the pendulum over thier bodies, and then running the pendulum over a chart of chakras while visualizing thier chakras. Every time...it worked. the chakra was open, blocked, opening , or completely closed. And all three results ended up the same. Regardless of even who was using the pendulum to test the spin of the pendulum . It was spun clockwise(open), counter clockwise(blocked) didnt move(closed) or went back(opening) Method for opening chakras: Soo i decided to run another test. I always like to play a little youtube music video, specific to the chakra in question, in the background. Most importantly for this to work you use a hand mudra, focus on the area of the charka, and with your voice vibrate a specific tone of creation. (The 7 Buddhist tones of creation, lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, om, ohm). Each of the 7 chakras. Using all three together. After only 10 minutes changed the flow of the chakra from blocked or closed to opening. The day feels alot better and more free flowing when everything is balanced and i HIGHLY recommend full devotion to each out of balance chakra at least 10 minutes using all three modes of position. The focus of the mind. The position of the body. And creation of sound through spirit. Verifying the chakra change through intuition, or pendulum showed results after even a short period of ten minutes, the results and differences throughout the day were astounding. So if your suffering somewhere in life. You can find where your imbalanced. Rebalance it. And watch life become so much more free flowing and detached. Its truly incredibly what we are capabale of in self healing I hope this can be informative for anyone whos having a hard dayy! You are in fact, in control of your state of being. With proper tools. Suffering becomes your co pilot for guiding your being into a higher state of existence free of suffering. [link] [comments] |
| New to meditation and I keep tearing up Posted: 16 Jul 2020 05:04 AM PDT I've only just started meditating this week but each time I sit down and try to meditate I pretty quickly start to feel the urge to cry. I've been going through a lot recently, my boyfriend of almost 5 years just broke up with me and I don't have a job or a new place to stay, so I've been incredibly overwhelmed. I'm usually a pretty emotional person to begin with but it's frustrating that I can't seem to find an escape from it. Does anybody have any helpful advise for when you start to feel emotional during meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:10 PM PDT Hi everybody. This is my first post ever and my English is pretty bad. so my apologies in advance. So I've been meditating for a few weeks now. Yesterday when I was meditating (around11pm), I experienced something strange. I was focusing on my breathing then suddenly, my body heated up. I felt like I'm burning. I started to sweat. It was an energy burst as far as I know. my heartbeat increased and It was hard for me to breathe. I started to take short and quick breaths. meanwhile, my head was feeling like it's about to explode. I had this sensation like a strong man putting his thumbs on my forehead and the back of my head then squeezing and releasing it repeatedly. my eyes were fluttering and twitching inside my eye sockets. this all lasted about 1 and a half mins. it wasn't gradual. It started all sudden. However, as I started to breathe quickly, this gradually gone down to normal. Today, I was feeling like I'm an empty balloon. I didn't feel anything and I still don't. I went to uni and walked around as I'm half asleep. I'm feeling like there is no purpose to me anymore. I have heard about people going crrazy while meditating. Can someone explain if I messeed up somewhere while meditating or if this is normal? and advice would be highly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:17 PM PDT Or am I just trying to stay still for as long as I can?? Am I doing this wrong ?? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:10 PM PDT Thinking of starting meditation after realising everything is just a concept.(I'm open to being wrong). But I read up certain states of consciousness you can experience by practicing mediation alot e.g an observer state where time seems non existent. I'm just wondering whether going in with expectations of this happening after getting good at meditation is the wrong thing to do? [link] [comments] |
| Bad dreams and feeling unwell after meditation Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:07 PM PDT Hi all, To begin with, 5 days ago I started guided meditating, but instead of feeling better, I actually feel worse. Firstly, It's as if whatever negative there was within, is coming up to the surface and I can feel their effect, as though there is chaos in my head and I am conscious of it's presence, without knowing what it is and it's truly disturbing. Secondly, my dreams have been uncomfortable since then. Am I doing something wrong and should I consider seeing a psychologist? Also, just so you know, there is tension and tightness in my throat during meditation and therefore concentrating on breathing makes me lose balance and start to hyperventilate a bit. I'd like to know your thoughts in this matter. [link] [comments] |
