| Got back into meditating this week and I’m lovin’ it! Posted: 10 Oct 2020 04:29 PM PDT Coming out of a session feels like coming down from a shroom trip. Each session I'm letting go constantly. I've held onto a lot of things that I shouldn't have over the past few years. Sometimes I think about the things I've done that made me look like a completely fool or how I shouldn't have allowed that relationship to fail. I think about what coulda beens. All this has just been weighing me down over the years. When I'm meditating I just try to release all that energy by letting go and just being. Accepting what is instead of trying to resist. I come out of the session feeling like a new person almost. Like everything that I was stressing about is pointless in the grand scheme of things. I also feel like quitting alcohol has been helping me on this spiritual journey. Ever since I started drinking at the age of 18 I felt like I was disconnecting from my spirit. Each year that passes I felt like a different person-a more pessimistic person. 50 days in no alcohol and I feel like I'm becoming a new person. :) BTW my skin is so clear 😎 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 03:51 PM PDT Since I started meditating, I seem to be becoming very aware of sensations and stimuli that I think I naturally tuned out in the past. At first, I didn't really put the two together and thought all the things I was starting to notice were new. But as time has gone on, I'm pretty sure they've been there all along. One such example is my tinnitus. I've had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember. But meditating and being present has brought it to the forefront of my attention. For awhile, I struggled with being overly aware of my heartbeat. This led to a series of panic attacks which I've mostly since overcome, but overall being aware of everything thing within my physical experience has been a pretty unpleasant experience. Can anyone relate? Any advice for coping? [link] [comments] |

| How do I quiet my mind and stay focused for falling asleep? Posted: 10 Oct 2020 05:04 PM PDT It seems like as soon as I lay my head down on the pillow, a thousand adventures happen in my thoughts, and I can't fall asleep. Any help? [link] [comments] |
| I am currently not enjoying meditation at all. What should I do? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:54 AM PDT I am currently not enjoying at all meditation even tho I can concentrate very well if I want, I can recover my attention fast and not focus on my thoughts too much. I am hating it right now and I can only do it for 3-4 minutes until I say "I am done, I hate this" when in the past I could easily do 20 minutes and I would often do an entire hour. In the past I completely enjoyed it and just around 1-2 months I have been having issued with this. This is also a problem for me because I figured that meditation is so key for me (especially since I practiced it a lot) to get those Glimpses of Gamma Brain Waves when you are like "I figured it out, I know this" that I need to progress fast and well in life. So what should I do to enjoy it more? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 07:53 PM PDT By realizing that you can guide your attention somewhere else in your body allows you to unblock that Stuck energy which then lets you feel your whole individual spirit inside of your body. Gifting you with the direct contact of your true energetic self, who resides under your skin. Think of how it's easy to feel "inner things" under your skin like anxiety, it's just as easy to clear and then activate an accumulation of your positive emotions.(Thanks to you controlling your thinking and attention). Here's my YouTube video about how to take back control of your true energetic self and not let it be reduced to bad emotions. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 05:55 PM PDT "Hello r/Meditation This is my first post on Reddit. I've been practicing for seven months at my local Rinzai sangha. After six sesshins, I've experienced pain in the thoracic spine that becomes stiff and inflamed after sitting in a fixed position for long periods. I'm 27 years old, and I've managed to use the pain to focus on the breath in the past. When it radiates into the abdomen, the pain-itself makes me so nauseated that eating becomes a challenge. I've consulted textbooks on correct posture (Three Pillars, Alexander Method), tried using a seiza bench, and asked other members to inspect my Burmese-style posture. Here's what I struggle to figure out: What to do with my shoulders? How much to allow the thoracic spine to bend forward naturally? Whether to lift from the sternum? How far to extend the lumbar spine? How far forward I should lean to exhale deeply into the tanden? I greatly appreciate others' recommendations With gassho [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:25 AM PDT hello new meditator here, 20y/o and i'm trying to start meditating bc i'm always thinking too much i feel like i'm always overloaded with thoughts so i want a bit of clearance, i usually just close my eyes, fix my posture and i try to just focus on breathing in and out through the nose. but i cannot continue that without wandering off to stuff i have to do or stuff i did. i haven't been meditating for too long it's just been a week but i feel like i'm doing it all wrong. any help is greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 01:55 AM PDT The more self love I develop, the less power the ego has over me, the less I need to prove and compare myself to others. I am enough. Your pain is not my gain. [link] [comments] |
| Question about our present reality Posted: 11 Oct 2020 01:44 AM PDT Do any of you get this feeling that our present reality has been taken over by a force that does not have our best interests in it's mind ? While meditating, I realized that most thoughts that I have don't have an origin from myself. I don't know how to describe that feeling using language, but it feels like some thoughts are being inserted into our head. When I researched it online, I came across materials talking about the demiurge and Archon stuff. Basically they say that the Archons and Demiurge always keep us in a state where we have to constantly discharge energy which is food for them. Good and Bad are constructs to achieve this. Good and Bad ensure a never ending struggle resulting in us releasing energy. [link] [comments] |
| Meditation is helping me realize how constantly tense my muscles are. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:40 PM PDT I have lived this way for years. Constant stress and anxiety. Lately, I have been meditating twenty to thirty minutes a day. Meditation is helping me realize how tense my muscles are pretty much all of the time. The biggest offender for me is shrugged shoulders. Whether I am in my car or typing away at my computer, my shoulders always get tense and scrunched. Before long, they are damn near at my ear lobes. I've also realized I hold a lot of tension in my jaw and my stomach. But I have been increasingly aware of these things lately and have been making an effort to breathe into the tight spots. It's hard though to break that muscle memory of always being wound up. [link] [comments] |
| Being triggered, and other times you find it difficult to remain present. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:42 PM PDT So despite doing well recently I had something occur the other day that "triggered" me. That is a term that is bandied about too much these days. It's in vogue and I don't like using it but I feel like it fits even though the event was minor. I got into an argument with a friend of mine who accused me of be condescending and talking down to them. Of thinking that they are stupid. It was a difficult discussion but one where we patched things over and came to a pretty ok end. But I was left feeling extreme anxiety and discomfort in my body the last 2 days. Racing thoughts of being a bad person, feeling like I need someone to tell me I am OK. My chest is tight as a drum at times. I can feel my arms like tight sinews holding tension. Like I'm waiting for a terminal cancer diagnosis any minute. There are a few other reasons why I might be more vulnerable at the moment I can think of as well. But suffice it to say that calm presence is not where I have been. I am also extremely exhausted at the end of the day. I'm wondering what others do when they find themselves in such spirals. Bringing awareness to bare on the moment I do notice some catastrophic thinking of course. But much of this also seems coded and lived in directly in my body as well. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 11:48 AM PDT Hi everyone! Hope you're doing awesome!! I've a question about a weird experience I had, not particularly with meditation but I though this might be the right sub to post next to the psychic one. These I'm experiencing a sort of change in brain wiring (as I call it but don't if it's right or not). So basically my behaviour has changed to that of my past self, I mean I'm doing things in a way that I was used to do it like 3 years ago and even my habits became as those of 3 years ago. There's literally like no sign of my present behaviour or habits that I used to have like a month or week ago. I'm kinda scared and confused on what's going on. I'd really appreciate your help on or if you had similar experiences! Please let me know!!(: [link] [comments] |
| Beautiful teaching by Adyashanti Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:55 PM PDT 💡"Awareness isn't really being the 'watcher' and it isn't really being the 'witness,' both of those are things the egos do." 💡 💡"Resting as awareness isn't a state of 'doing,' its a state of 'being.'"💡 Also check out Sam and Adya's conversation in the "wakingup" app [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:17 AM PDT hi, as the title states i want to get into meditation to help myself and my system. what are some tips for someone just starting out? i don't really have a ton of time and still living with my parents (underage) so i don't want them to catch me. i have been trying to do guided meditation but i always seem to end up not being able to breathe, and weirdly i get a lot of anxiety. so basically it would be super helpful if there was either a place i could go for tips (website/other sub/etc) or if anyone had any, thanks!!

| I just started meditating, need some advice from someone more seasoned Posted: 10 Oct 2020 11:56 PM PDT So I just started mediating like a week ago, and everything was going good until I saw this tiktok that was saying you need to protect yourself from other portals? I'm just trying to become grounded with myself & obtain some inner peace. So then tonight I went to do a sleep meditation and as I was drifting I heard an old monster thing say this is my lake, this is my lake & I panicked and now I'm scared to mediate again bcz I don't want to disturb anything. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? [link] [comments] |
| What do you do with the emotions Posted: 10 Oct 2020 11:42 PM PDT Currently feel like crap, I want to know what to do with this emotions. Be aware it's 2:40am and I don't have enough physical energy to leave my bed and workout intensely but my mind is being flooded with insecurities and I just want it to stop. At best I can observe them and question then but I want them to go away and be resolved. [link] [comments] |
