| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 01:10 PM PDT I am so tired of how hard we are on ourselves. Not attractive enough, not smart enough, not cool enough, not purpose-full enough, not spiritual enough, not flexible enough, not creative enough, not rich enough, not happy enough, not healthy enough, not sexy enough, not wise enough. It's like a collective shame-fest that begins when we are born and continues until we die. So much magnificent life is lost when it is swept under a mountain of shame. Billions of us walking around convinced we are not 'something enough.' We are missing the point. Just staying alive on this planet is a great achievement, demanding that we sift through all of the 'not-enough' inner chatter to find reason to go on. How about if we begin every day with an 'I am enough' meditation? Let's begin right now: I am enough! I am enough. I AM ENOUGH. From the book "Spiritual Graffiti" by Jeff Brown [link] [comments] |
| I Completed 60 Days of Meditation for 1 Hour/day and it cut my Anxiety away. I Then Made an App. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 03:57 AM PDT I recently completed Naval Ravikant's recommended 60 days of meditation for 1 hour per day. I tried meditating before this for around 20/30 mins but never really felt that much benefit. So I started doing 1 hr. I tweeted about each day which kept me accountable and committed each day. At first it was very difficult to sit still for that long. But after the first week, I started to truly realise that all of my problems were in my own head. I was perceiving things poorly, from past images that I'd clung onto. Reading wisdom from the main 3 stoic philosophers, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Naval Ravikant each day also helped to rewire my mind, giving me useful stuff to meditate on. I now realise that living in the past causes depression and living in the future causes anxiety. Discovering for myself that this is true makes me almost unconsciously stay present - and I feel much better for it. I am currently learning to code and as a practice project I made a meditation app that I am now using myself. It's based on doing 60 days of meditation, 1hr / day. At the beginning, only day 1 is unlocked. After meditating for at least 15 mins, the next day is unlocked. Each day has some advice/quotes from the philosophers I mentioned before. Complete a 30 min session to be awarded 1 star, 45 mins for 2 stars and 60 or more for 3 stars. There are bonus unlockable Tao meditations for total stars and day streaks. This video demonstrates the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QYDCRtym2g If anybody is interested in using this, I just put it on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navalsmeditations I tweeted about the apps progress daily as I am currently doing #100DaysOfCode: https://twitter.com/DoableDanny Thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| Best recommendations to begin meditating? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 01:07 AM PDT I am going to be spending the next 10 days stuck in my room. You can probably guess why lol. I need some meditation that will keep me interested at the start. Maybe a course I could do for the next 10 days. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Can meditating help me forgive myself for the many HORRIBLE AWFUL things i did in the past. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 08:22 PM PDT Like SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP THINGS. So few nights ago i just remembered about something I did when i was a kid. I instantly felt sickened to the core, and i honestly cant believe i did that. And yesterday i cried bc of it. Ill forever live with this immense remorse, and i highly believe i can never live a peaceful life bc of it. The thoughts would haunt me every now and then. And if hell exists, ill probably gonna be sent there. [link] [comments] |
| Advice for not getting sore during long meditations Posted: 03 Oct 2020 09:51 PM PDT I feel that soreness is the main thing that cuts my meditations shorter than they could be when I meditate for a long time. I have had a few go over an hour and my longest was a little over 2 hours but I feel that even if I use something to support my back I feel that my body starts to just tense up and cramp after a long period of time from just remaining still and I was wondering how people do it. Especially when I read about meditation retreats, I would like to try one but the idea of sitting in meditation position for 10 hours a day seems like it would be harder to do physically than mentally. (I have only been meditating consistently for about a month and a half so is it just that I need more time to get used to it or is there any advice to last longer without as much soreness?) Edit: I should also say that when I meditated for 2 hours the one time I ended up laying down halfway through it so that's how I made it but I would rather be able to meditate upright without requiring this if possible.

| Why does meditation instruct "in through the nose and out through the mouth"? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 02:10 AM PDT I find breathing through the mouth (inhaling or exhaling) very unnatural. Is there a reason why meditation instructs this? I prefer breathing only through the nose [link] [comments] |
| Compassion for those you do not like. A difficult message it would seem. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 09:42 PM PDT Something I find myself coming up against over and over this past year as I dive into myself deeper and deeper with meditation is the nature of compassion. Self compassion is strictly speaking what I have been struggling to build. I have disliked myself for a very long time but that has been changing. But I have noticed along this journey that my world view and mind has shifted under my feet. I seem to have moved in the direction of universal compassion for all. And my ego finds this very threatening at times. I find myself finding compassion with those I very much dislike and finding myself very uncomfortable sitting with this thought. Interestingly I have also expressed said compassion a few times to find that many others find these messages triggering or upsetting as well. As if hatred seems to be the only socially acceptable view to have of certain people. People seem to get very angry very quickly at times when you suggest compassion in difficult situations. And don't get me wrong it is supremely difficult as I don't stop disliking these people. But I have found it increasingly difficult to love myself and others warts and all and also to hate almost anyone. But I also find this a very difficult transition to make it seems threatening to my ego, my world view, and to those around me at times. [link] [comments] |
| Hearing lots of voices when meditating. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 06:29 PM PDT Today when I was meditating for about 30 minutes and during that time my body got tingly than hot. Than a little while after my alarm went off at 5:39 which is weird since I didn't have a alarm set. I decided to go back to meditating but almost instantly I heard what felt like hundreds of whispers and I felt like something was watching me. So I decided to stop meditating for the time being, just wanna know if that's bad or maybe a sign from something. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 11:00 PM PDT It's a cooling sensation. If anything, it feels like my ears ate a bunch of mints and now I feel the cool air inside. It's such a strange feeling. It stays with me when I wake up the next morning. I usually meditate for 35 minutes before going to bed to relax me. I experience tingling sensation in my hands the most. My ears feel so "fresh". Has anyone experienced this? What's the best explanation for this? I'm hoping it isn't bad. I mean I don't feel terrible, I just hyper focus on how my ears feel. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 08:40 AM PDT When you start to meditate, for example on your breath, you don't have to focus only on it (like a lot of people do, me too for a while), but on your own presence. The breath is only a support for your meditation. I try to keep this presence in my daily life, in every situation, and my life is changed in a few days: I had social anxiety and with keep presence it's almost totally gone. Any other teaching didn't help me, so for me this is the only real one. Ps. Sorry for my english if I made some mistakes. [link] [comments] |

| First time attempting past life guided meditation. Epic fail. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 08:51 PM PDT Perhaps I jumped in over my head a bit, but I figured what the hell, it's 2020, right? So I decided to attempt the viral past life meditation video going around. I was able to relax well enough for probably the first 15 minutes and then my face started to spasm. Not like a little twitch, but fully fluttering spasms around my eyes and mouth. I tried to push through that and then out of nowhere was crushed by a massive wall of sadness and panic, and not the "oh I'm noticing sadness" type but more of the "my whole world is gone and I'm trapped all alone and can't breathe" type. I didn't "see" anything per se, but I clearly struck a nerve somewhere... Anyways, does anyone have suggestions for my next attempt (at a later date)? I know there is something I've locked up somewhere in my brain that probably needs to be explored but I have no idea how to counter anything that feels that violently sad in a productive way. For reference, I've been officially diagnosed with major depressive disorder for 6 years but I honestly can't remember a time of my life without depression. I do take medication for it but it doesn't blunt my emotions (clearly). I appreciate any feedback anyone can offer! [link] [comments] |

| Meditation techniques to conquer negativity, feelings of inadequacy and pettiness. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 04:49 AM PDT I've recently decided that I need to be more connected internally and I've started by acknowledging some "shadow" sides of me that need some care. To be specific I can see that my negativity, feelings of inadequacy/imposter syndrome often lead to either self sabotage or pettiness in my relationships and utter internal misery. Has anyone here used meditation to combat something similar and if so, what is your advice? I'm a novice and open to any helpful suggestions - thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 06:27 PM PDT Everytime I was being reminded of the importance of my mind and how powerful my thoughts are it kinda lit a spark of inspiration to do better. But after a couple of hours of consciously using my thoughts I always went back to being idle and going along with whatever my being came in contact with. Yesterday I took full control of my mind and for every 0.1 second that keeps on coming I've been blasting my inner beings with positive thoughts and reflections nonstop and it got me so fired up I've been having constant goosebumps with this lovely comforting energy, my eyes just keep watering my palms which were before really dry are now sweaty for the first time in my life! I can feel heat Emitting from my hands it's so amazing! I made this YouTube Video about this please check it out when you have time. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 04:11 AM PDT Hi. In a nutshell, there are some difficult things I'm going through in my life, so I decided to meditate to ease stress and depressive feelings. But, however, it turned out to have opposite results, those feelings became more severe as I was more aware of them. Generally, It was incredibly harder, so I stopped meditating after a couple of days. It's been about 2 months since then, and I'm thinking of doing it again, so, what would you suggest? I need to be able to get stronger and control my thoughts and emotions. I will probably still get to that difficult stage, and I think I am ready to experience it again, provided that it goes away soon. Does it depend on how much effort I put into it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 02:31 PM PDT On the days I mediate when there is too much on my mind and can't really get "in the zone", am I still making progress, even though I don't feel as though I am? (Sorry for the run on sentence; I'm finding it hard to articulate what I mean) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 04:38 AM PDT What's up everyone?! I'm new to meditation and would like to know where can I start consuming knowledge about the essentials to meditation and how to perform it properly, and if there are any gestures or poses performed during meditation? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
