| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:55 PM PST I meditate as soon as I wake up for 20 minutes but I've started doing small burst meditations throughout my day and just gotta say wow the feeling of contentment doesn't leave. Edit : 2-3 mins of meditating * [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 09:50 AM PST This is gonna be a longish post. So I have been an anxious person my entire life but my mental health took a nose dive in the pandemic. Covid cases began to rise in my country in March. So did my anxiety. Because of meditation 1:I was able to control my anxiety and panic attacks before they overwhelmed. Over time I have become more and more aware of my own mental state and can feel when I am becoming too overwhelmed so then I lie down with my eyes close for a few minutes until the anxiety wave passes. 2: My doc gave me propranlol and xanax to control anxiety . I was able to get off of both of medications. Now I am pretty much able to handle my anxious thoughts whenever they arise without feeling the need to lie down or taking a pill for it. 3: I am a lot more mentally resilient now than I was before. Now I can analyze my own thoughts and kill the ones that are causing useless anxiety. This works like a miracle. I do two 10minute sessions in a day. One after I wake up and one before sleep. I have started working out again and pretty much feel like my old self now but with more mental resilience. [link] [comments] |
| Loving myself has been one of the most difficult things I've ever undertaken. Posted: 13 Nov 2020 07:01 PM PST Such a weird sentence to type and yet it rings true to me. I am sure some struggle to love themselves more than others. Perhaps some trauma has played a role, how I was raised to an extent, genetics as well. This eternal process of acceptance and forgiveness of self and what I am. The harsh abusive task masker does not accept that I am not a robot. Does not accept the needs and weaknesses of this flesh body. If I could just be rid of this imperfect vessel and recast you in cold crystal. And every such wish a betrayal and abuse of self. Always the need to return to softness, to gentleness. To remember, I AM the imperfection, to not abandon and throw thyself away. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 09:25 PM PST Perhaps this is a corollary to my other post about loving myself. But I just realized that also one of my greatest struggles is to actually believe that I am loved by others. The more work I do and the more I love myself the more I can see it's true. But it's still a daily struggle for both. I find i am very prone to codependency as well as fear and doubt in the love from others. I think because of this I sadly wall myself off from truly feeling the love from others. Perhaps because of past childhood hurts, betrayals etc, one subconsciously does not wish to believe that it is possible that another will actually love us. For that possibility holds too much risk, it is far too high a place to fall from. Better not to believe one is worthy of such. Better to believe one flawed in some such way that no one sees us this way. And better still yet to not love ourselves for if we were to love ourselves then we must extend that possibility to others. I am changing his though, every day. Every time I sit down to meditate, or choose to sit with an uncomfortable feeling and not abandon myself. [link] [comments] |
| Is it ok to meditate lying down? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:14 AM PST and lying down in bed? Edit: thanks a lot for all your answers — very helpful to start my meditation journey. Will go through all the comments tomorrow [link] [comments] |
| We often notice when we get angry but do we notice when we stop being angry ? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:09 PM PST Welp I recently started focusing on only my out breath when ever I frustrate , from when it starts to finish , I ride the whole breath , I do this a couple of times and anger just dissipates and don't see anger as just a word see it as a feeling because it's exactly what it is . little simple technique that I've been using works wonders. Just wants to share ☺️ [link] [comments] |
| [Academic] Participate in a meditation study! Posted: 13 Nov 2020 05:02 PM PST Hello! My name is Nicholas Bowles. I'm a PhD student at the University of Melbourne, studying the dose-response effects of meditation. I would like to everyone here (18-75 yrs) to participate in my current study. So far over 1,000 people registered, and more data will help add much needed rigour and nuance to the findings. The study takes place over two months, consisting of an initial survey and eight weekly surveys. Each survey should take an average of 2-3 minutes to complete (total time approx. 25-30 mins). You don't need to change your practice - just meditate as you ordinarily would and respond to the surveys. The study has full ethics approval, and the privacy of all participants is assured. Key results/outcomes will be communicated to all participants in due course. A link to the first survey, which includes the consent form, is below: https://melbourneuni2.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dnfZ2fW2KEijfYp Any questions please reach out here or via email: nbowles at student.unimelb.edu.au [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 12:22 AM PST It is crazy to me how many different paths lead through meditation. When I started fighting and training, I wanted a way to calm down afterwards and what I found was peace and time to reorder my thoughts and have space to put some positive in life My friend got here from Yoga, it was a natural step for her My other friend got here from school, spending time studying mental health and learning and using it for learning How did you path lead you to meditation? Was it a one time stop or did you bring it with you? I would love to learn more about our little community here [link] [comments] |

| How do I tame my OCD thoughts? HELP! Posted: 13 Nov 2020 11:23 PM PST Hi, I suffer from OCD and every now and then I get intrusive thoughts while i study. Sometimes the thought says how i should do every work perfectly and there should be no flaws in my work. Eg: if i study and my concentration is not that good, the thought says that i didn't study properly and i should study it again. Hence, I keep studying the same thing again and again. Meditation says I need to observe thoughts and discard them. Fine, I am able to realize whenever an intrusive thought pops in my head that its just my OCD and I should discard them, but I still end up listening to what my thought says. So how do I control that urge and force myself to not listen to what my OCD says? PS: I cant afford a therapist. TLDR: Plz read the whole thing and help me !!!! [link] [comments] |

| Is listening to music and going into a deep state equivalent to meditation? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 09:49 PM PST So here's some context. I am a music addict and very used to listening to music while commuting/walking for over 12 years now. I need music almost every other day else I will have withdrawal symptoms. And I generally go into a state when I am into that music almost having a daydream while listening to that music. I find that critical to my sanity. Is this equivalent to Meditating?

| Trying to understand meditation Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:51 PM PST Hi, My understanding of meditation is: Allowing thoughts to come and go, but staying put and trying to focus. Eventually the mind calms and thoughts become less frequent. Usually it is done closing the eyes, sitting, and in a quiet place. There is also the body scan where you focus on a part of your body. I'm sure there is more. Could you please tell me? Thank you for your time! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:27 PM PST you meditate for 10 minutes a day for a week or 70 minutes on one day out of the week, do you think this makes a difference in outcome? Just curious of anyone has any opinions on this or have noticed a difference in outcome when you meditate for different increments of time or how often and for how long. Also do you notice difference in outcome morning vs night time meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:25 PM PST I've just spent a good amount of time on the internet looking for articles about this, and didn't turn much up except fight or flight response following working out, which makes sense. I work 4 10-hour shifts a week, so with sleep and my commute, I don't have a heck of a lot of time during my workweek. I understand I could try to move one to my waking hours, and I might, but I also work overnights and I like to spend the little waking hours I have in common with my toddler bonding, playing, etc. I've started to exercise the last week again, after years of not exercising, and like a decade of not exercising regularly. I have noticed that my meditation practice, which is only a month or so old, has gone to shit. My mind after working out is very monkey-mindish. I take Culadasa's advice from The Mind Illuminated and through my awareness into my body, and that helps a bit or for a bit, but the monkey wriggles free shortly there after. Having prior experience with Autogenic meditation, and that being very much about the fight or flight response in the nervous system, I think I'll try that tonight/this morning. But I was wondering if anybody on Reddit has experienced this agitated mind after exercise and, if you've overrode it, how. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone have good experiences with transcendental meditation? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 09:57 PM PST I took a class a while back to learn how to do it and the whole thing for them is to do it twice a day for 40 mins. Has anyone had experiences doing it in either less or more time than this and having good results ? [link] [comments] |
