    In a profoundly sick society, meditation is medicine..

    The word medicine and meditation even have the same root word.

    It really is amazing the peace you can find when you stop fighting emotions.

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    It takes some effort to maintain the presence of mind to realize how one is feeling in the moment. But when you are dialed into that zone and realize that you are feeling a certain way that you habitually "fight", it's amazing to witness the peace you can find by instead letting go of the fight and embracing the feeling.

    Today I'm tired and would otherwise say I am a little "depressed" or perhaps a little "sad". I put these in quotes because I honestly only really feel that way when I fight the feeling. When I keep my focus up and let go it kind of just becomes the background. I'm not "happy" but I don't need to be. I'm at peace. Tired yes, perhaps slower of mind yes, but this too is ok.

    I could choose to ruminate on how my life is not as I would like it and my tiredness and brain fog will drag me down into a spiraling pit.

    Or I could work with this feeling. Move slowly and with intent, kind slow moments that understand my body needs me not to fight right now.

    How to stop having so many intrusive controlling thoughts??

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 05:51 PM PDT

    Through out the day & during meditation so many thoughts pop up into my head. Usually like commands like you need to do this, you need to research this, need to watch this, tell so & so this etc... It's so hard to meditate or stay mindful because of these intrusive thoughts 😫 Any advice how to stop them?

    Meditating with chronic illness

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 10:47 PM PDT

    I've noticed that I've always had stomach problems for as long as I can remember, and those problems always ended up getting in my head into slowly making me into a person that worries all the time etc. Eventually, I was able to learn about mindfulness, meditation and feel much better on a day to day basis, however, I notice whenever I have any physical ailments, it's much easier for me to fall back into those old habits of negative thinking about my health. I understand that most of my physical symptoms are caused due to my infection, but sometimes I can't help but think about it. However, now I've realized that the only way to deal with these emotions and feelings is to become one with them, Do not resist them. Do not try to fight it, because life will do whatever it wants to do, absolutely spontaneously and without your permission. The secret, I feel, and I say this while recently dealing with a state of suffering, is to go with the flow, to surrender to what is in the present moment. This is not pleasant. This is not easy. But this is the only way you can find peace, apart from of course the practical aspects, for example, I'm taking the medication I need to cure myself from this infection, but I thought it would be an interesting insight to share since it came to me during intense suffering. If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to add, wish you all well.

    The History of Spiritual Meditation - Hinduism Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Taoist Meditation - Ancient Meditation - Global Bizarre

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:08 AM PDT

    Meditation, also referred to as mindfulness, is an ancient practice that has existed since human beings could master the art of concentration. The act itself evokes the soul and quiets the part of the brain that is hyper-focused on the physical aspect of being alive. People are often focused on what will happen or what has happened, meditation allows you to just be present in the moment and revel in that experience. Meditating has physical and mental benefits because of the calming effects it has on the body, but for many it is also the key to spiritual growth and enlightenment.

    This article will dive deep into the history of meditation and how it continues to develop today.

    While meditating, i feel waves of goosebumps and something crawling on spine.

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 10:02 PM PDT

    A week ago, while i was meditating. I felt waves of goosebumps in my body and some sensation in between eyebrows. Something rose up from spine and hit me little hard on back of my neck. Then took a circle around head and ended up in between eyebrows. It is normal with me to lose skin sensations while meditating. But these are something, I don't know what they mean: -1.From a week or more, i was feeling my neck and chest area little heavier. But yesterday, i felt neck area specially very heavier. Is that related to chakra or whatever present in neck area. -2.Also yesterday, i felt like there is some tension in my spine, it was like pulling my head backwards.

    Somebody plzz explain these two things.

    Meditation on Grieving

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 06:24 PM PDT

    I'm looking for meditations on grieving. I just lost my sweet cat Petey. His death was very sudden and unexpected, and he was so young. I'm having a hard time focusing and practicing any type of yoga or meditation. Can anyone share a link to a grieving meditation or something they think might help me during this time? I'm grateful for you

    I Created a Visual Guide Illustrating my Experience in Different Levels of Consciousness!

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 07:14 PM PDT

    I started my spiritual journey after my first experience with hyper-clear meditative awareness many years ago. I wanted to keep a visual diary documenting each chapter of my journey, illustrating how life was like in that chapter, and a guide on how I got through and progressed through each chapter for any future people I could help by doing so.

    Here is the full guide: https://i.imgur.com/7Cz6Rmn.jpg

    Listening as a form of meditation?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 08:26 PM PDT

    Is there any resources on sitting and focusing on hearing/listening specifically as meditation, or is this generally not recommended?

    If our negative thoughts have no intrinsic meaning, does this mean our positive thoughts mean nothing also?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 11:55 PM PDT

    I wonder if exercise is linked to improve mood since it makes us pay more attention to and hence become more aware of our breath

    Hey all, I've made a channel called r/meditation_music where users are posting their favourite, relaxing tunes. Feel free to have a browse

    Do you guys have any tips for dealing with anxiety?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:00 AM PDT

    I suffer pretty badly some days with general anxiety that I've only just recently realised (which was through meditation). I've been meditating pretty consistently at least 10 mins a day for a month so far and it has helped so far with just becoming aware of the anxiety without allowing it to consume me so easily.

    I'm aware there isn't really any substitute for therapy or medication.

    Do you guys have any experiences to share or tips?

    Would be much appreciated :).

    Feel emotionally numb after meditating

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 01:39 AM PDT

    For the past few weeks I have been practicing meditation for about 20 minutes everyday as a way to improve myself and just to try something new. I lie down, focus on my breath, listen to the sounds around me, and relax my body until I eventually become still. After I am done I always find myself in a hyper-focused state of mind but feel emotionally empty. This is ok if I was under stress prior to meditating, but I don't think that the intended effect of meditation is to feel empty afterwards. What can I do to not feel this way after meditating?

    Singing Bowl

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 09:08 PM PDT

    Anybody use a singing bowl as part of their meditation routine? Looking for some advice on how to incorporate one in my own routine. I have a nice small bowl that sings beautifully and I'm just not sure how to properly "use" it during meditation.

    I normally sit still and the idea of moving while meditating is foreign to me.

    Anybody have any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    Interpretation? "Break the spell of the identification with thought"

    Posted: 15 Oct 2020 12:23 AM PDT

    This was a closing thought in a guided meditation I did just now (Waking Up programme), and I am curious to hear thoughts on how one with more experience might interpret this.

    Is the objective here to try and passively observe interrupting thoughts as kinds of detached and ethereal objects? Or might he be rather challenging us to detach our own identity from the contents of thoughts themselves?

    After nearly a decade of meditating I realized that the secret is to actually capitalize on the paranoia and delusions between those moments of silence. ��

    I dont understand how to let go completely

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 06:28 PM PDT

    I keep telling myself my negative emotions will pass but this anxiety in particular is unbearable and I want to run away from it.

    I say this too shall pass but I cant seem to let go.

    Its like some part of me is stopping me from going any further in meditation

    I also seem to buy into the illusions of thought, feelings, body, and buried trauma.

    I have difficulty not controlling my breathing but its so hard its a hindrance

    Ive been practicing metta meditation but I feel like my self hate is more than my self love. I cant just relax and let go. Idk why. Please help

    My ego is an illusion I cant seem to shake and I identify with negative emotions but I dont want to identify with it. What should I do?
