| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:11 AM PDT You are the effortless witnessing of everything, otherwise you wouldn't be able to report your experience - please understand this clearly. There is no effort in being what you truly are, no goal and no "spiritual" journey. You are already here, aren't you? The only problem comes when you identify yourself with something you are not- thoughts, feelings, sensations, body. That's the only cause of trouble in human kingdom. We often say "I think this/I am feeling this/I am hungry/I want this and that (even enlightenment)... Notice how often we use to combine ourselves with something we are not. All the time actualy. And that's why we suffer. We suffer because we limit ourselves. What we truly are is limitless Infinity. It's as if an elephant was trying to fit in a small box- it's totaly unnatural and that's why he has to suffer to realise that he can be free if he stops trying to get into the box. Our box, is simply the identification with anything. Just observe your experience and see how often you come to identify as something you are not- quite a lot isn't it? 😂 It's okay, the firsth is to just realise this. The rest will be very easy. You just stop believing in this identity. Don't hold unto any idea you have of yourself. It's all just past. Past doesn't exists. You are here right now. Actualy, you are the timeless Now itself. Now is Consciousness. Consciousness is Eternity. You are Consciousness in which the whole Universe dwells. Your mind wants you to be small, but you can expand beyond all limits and concepts of even expansion. Trust yourself, don't identify with anything and see what remains. What remains and what cannot be taken away. It cannot be taken away because it is not different from you. You cannot be taken away. Thank you. <3 [link] [comments] |
| Don't want to stop feeling depressed Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:37 AM PDT I've dropped out of college and my wife is providing for us. I have a lot of self-loathing because we want to start our family but we are waiting on me to start a career so she can mother full-time. Every time I start trying to study or prepare to return to school, I start to feel a lot of doubt about succeeding in the future and I end up giving up. I am having regular nightmares and am wasting all day on youtube and Netflix. I know that if I just look at my emotions in a non-judgemental way I could stop feeling bad for myself and putting myself down...but maybe a small sub-conscious part of me doesn't want to. Am I a masochist? Am I just lazy? [link] [comments] |
| How to elliminate the static noise inside my mind? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:48 AM PDT While meditating, firstly I regulate my breathing, then I relax and my heart rate and the strength of the pulse decreases. However, I have a noise sensation in my ears that's really annoying and stops me from achieving the ultra clarity of a deep meditation. It's like fizz noise that I can decrease a little. Only in rare occasions the said noise stops. What causes this noise? Is it something that I have to stop doing? If it's natural then how can I stop it during meditation? [link] [comments] |
| why is meditation so stressful to me? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:07 PM PDT I've tried so hard to meditate and be comfortable meditating but whenever I meditate it makes me want to dry and I feel super anxious and sometimes even more stressed than before the meditation. just thinking about it makes me feel bad. my therapist keeps suggesting it but it's so scary. it makes me feel so empty and alone. I want to meditate and just like it but I can't. I really cant. [link] [comments] |
| Why is it so hard to get started meditating sometimes? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:01 PM PDT I'm not sure if other people feel this way too, but often I feel resistance to getting started meditating. But, 95% of the time, after I'm done I'm so happy I did it. Do you experience this as well? [link] [comments] |
| I've made a very serious mistake along my meditation journey and I need help please? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:53 PM PDT I've been meditating for a few years on and off. But something has happenned in the last few months and it's like I'm seeing things about my existence that I can't unsee!! I'm observing this existence I'm calling my life on earth for now. It's like I'm constantly out of body looking at me... People talking about being super calm, centered and peaceful after meditation.. I don't understand this.. while I am meditating.. yeh amazing.. but after... I am definatley not calm about my existence and all the meaninglessness of me, my relationships, the trees growing outside the air allowing me to breath...my whole life meaning nothing once I have been completely forgotten. Bottom line.. I now can't go back, I'm constantly terrified and facing my own mortality and life in an extremely raw sense. I realise that this life of mine is pretty insignificant.. it just is. My mind feels like it's imploding and freaking out. I'm not sure what to do... I've paid for professional help.. CBT sessions and so on.. but it's not cutting it. Can I do like a master reset somehow or reverse the damage I've done? Or is there a "next step or first aid for meditators who got more than they bargained for?" Any advice would be very much appreciated, apologies for longer than normal post. [link] [comments] |

| Best meditation for someone with ADHD symptoms? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:52 AM PDT Tried mindfulness meditation that went from 5 minutes to 15 minutes in two weeks and got way too bored but the good sessions made me feel great and refreshed. Anybody got any advice on what potentially the best meditation for me could be?? [link] [comments] |
| Instantly itchy, feel clothes binding, can't get comfortable Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:49 AM PDT I'm a beginner using guided meditations, particularly the Headspace app. It's helping, but I have an obstacle. I sit or lay down, I make myself as comfortable as possible. Everything is just right, but instantly I feel my t-shirt is too tight on one side and have to adjust it. Then my leg itches. Then my scalp. Then it's something else. So I'm scritching and adjusting and squirming and it's tough to focus. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Has mediation altered your perception and beliefs of the afterlife? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 05:25 PM PDT I have had many spiritual experiences, but I am prone to quickly dismissing them from a logical and skeptic view point. I have a phobia of death. Disruptive. I wake at night pacing. Chills down my spine. Cold sweats. Real primal terror. I have had dreams that have some how come true. Experiences with what seem to be ghosts. Deja vu. Repeated experiences with the repetion of numbers like 11:11. Have any of you dealt with this dichotomy? Were your horizons broadened by mediation? Do you feel you've come to an understanding of universal truths? If I awoke tomorrow whole heatedly convinced of an afterlife, of the continuation of my consciousness and preservation of self - I might be able to live without crippling anxiety and depression. I might truly live. I feel a sense of doom. I ride a partial wave of life always feeling like one foot is in the grave. I know feeling connected to a higher spiritual self and meditating had me feeling a greater sense of peace and of purpose. What have your experiences been? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:01 PM PDT I've been meditating a couple of months now 15 min a day at night. Started because i had very minor anxiety before the pandemic but since then it's skyrocketed to physical symptoms. Recently in my meditation I've noticed I get almost dissociation from my body while I'm in it. Also, when I open my eyes again seeing the room around me feels like I just entered a new place. Anyone with this experience? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:23 AM PDT I came up with this saying while meditating: "The goal of meditation is to first be alone with your thoughts, then alone from your thoughts" [link] [comments] |
| Highly emotional experience during 1-hour meditation. Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:36 PM PDT I've never posted here before, I just wanted to share a brief experience I had recently during my normal meditation routine (well, semi-normal). I've been meditating for an hour per session two-three times per week. I'll quickly note that I'd like to increase my dedication to the practice since this experience. In the days prior to the experience, I had had a falling out with some 'friends' who said some really hurtful things to me (during a conversation about politics, of course). I, regrettably, also said very hurtful things in my anger. I deleted Snapchat that day and was trying desperately to clear my mind of the anger and betrayal I felt. A few days passed, I still felt very uneasy and the anger wouldn't go away anytime I thought about what was said. That evening however, I had an intensely emotional experience about an hour into meditating - one of total compassion and empathy. It was unreal, never had an experience like it before. In my day-to-day, I'm a quite cynical, and quite lonely person. I'm single, don't trust others easily, rarely give myself a break, and spend most of my time on computers to study programming or simply waste time. I tend to think that I'm a bit of an asshole, and I dislike myself for it. I knew I was just as in the wrong as my friends and it was eating me up. In those moments however, it was like a tight knot in my chest just completely unraveled. I cried real tears, and so much anxiety and anger vanished just like that. I felt compassion both for the friends who said really hurtful things, but also for myself. It felt stupidly obvious that harboring resentment could never make me feel better - it was only by realizing empathy and love for them and myself that I was able to move past the whole thing. It wasn't the sort of thing I could fake myself into feeling, this I know for sure. If anyone else has had a similar experience I'd love to hear about it. I've experienced semi-lucid dream states, ego loss, and lots of clarity of mind during meditations. It's always helped me with my anxiety. But I've never felt such an intense release of emotions like this. Lesson learned: Don't hold on to grudges and don't try to put yourself on a high-horse if you know you messed up. Realizing empathy for yourself and others is really healing. This is such a cheesy lesson for me to admit... but love really can set you free from pain. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:31 PM PDT Apparently people on the internet are saying that the Gyan Mudra (showing it as this 👌🏻 emoji) is a "white power" symbol. This simply isn't true. My roommate just informed me that his work is removing certain Buddhist/yoga/meditation statues that feature this gesture, because apparently it's promoting racism and someone who saw it on Twitter complained about it. Please educate yourselves on Mudras before blindly believing internet trolls. Don't let fearmongering and hatred limit your mindfulness journey. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:30 PM PDT Hi, I have seen various medical professionals who have helped me recover from severe depression and anxiety due to bullying and getting badly beaten up by someone. After different treatments, I started my meditation journey; 10 mins everyday. I began to start twitching my leg always whenever I was anxious, bored and even at times when I had no reason to be worried. I gave it a month and then decided to stop but it disappeared when going back to my usual routine. This year I decided that I wanted to start meditating again and instead I decided for 20 mins every day for two months. However, this time but I found that I became very irritable and just feeling annoyed in general. I don't know if this could be a coincidence but I would like to know what I could do to get past this stage. BTW, I did mindfulness meditation. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 03:04 PM PDT Hello everyone, I'd like to get your thoughts on using a saucer chair to mediate in. I have been considering getting one for meditation and reading, but I'm unsure if it would be a good position to meditate in. :) [link] [comments] |
| Any meditation technique that can be done at bed? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:48 PM PDT I am just trying to know if there is some way to meditate while lying on the bed. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| I cried during mediation and I’m a beginner. Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:50 AM PDT This morning I decided to go through a wakefulness meditation session using an app. I decided to do it because I used it to sleep last night and thought it actually helped so why not use it to wake up as well? 5 minutes into it my eyes began to tear up and while i thought it was strange I just kept trying to focus on my breathing and posture. However only a minute or two later I realized my eyes weren't going to stop so rather than trying to stop it I just started to cry for no reason. This wasn't like silent tears in a movie type crying either. This was like full blown ugly cry. It's funny thinking about it now but that an incredible and confusing thing. I'm attributing it to my first time really being focused on following the guide, even if it was just a recording. And still even after meditation has been over i've felt an overwhelming need to cry just thinking about that release. I'm somewhat confused about what to do with these feelings. I don't even know why I feel this way but every time I think about it I want to cry. Can someone give insight to my situation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 12:20 PM PDT I usually find listening to some no-words music helpful to meditate with. Any recommendations for the same would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 06:09 PM PDT I was returning home and I stopped my car at red signal, I felt like doing brief meditation of few seconds (you may find this idea crazy...:)) so I closed my eyes and just became witness. I felt deep and I didn't realize until 4-5 vehicles in front of me already went crossed green light and vehicle behind me honked. I of course immediately started. Earlier when I did meditation like this at signal, I kept checking if red light has turned green and I did it when I am behind 3-4 cars. Important thing to note here is it was less than a min but I felt so deep and calm. I feel like hours of meditation can't give me this type of deep feeling what I experienced in few seconds. On other occasions, I have also noticed that if there is 5 min left for meeting and I just close my eyes to meditate, its deeper than a time where I don't have any time limit. Anyone else has similar experience? [link] [comments] |
