| What I’ve learned in two years of meditating everyday Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:42 PM PST Stop trying and just be. Simple quote right ? Literally stop trying to be something you're not and just be yourself you will literally live in bliss [link] [comments] |
| Consistent meditation saved my life. Posted: 07 Nov 2020 06:40 PM PST I used to be skeptical of meditation and thought only buddhist/weird people practiced it. A friend of mine suggested I give it a try because I was at a horrible place in my life. I was always stressed out and anxiety would cause me to have panic attacks. I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. Meditation changed my life. I'm not saying every day is happy and good, but I am at a better place and handle things a lot better. I honestly don't know how I would have made it through the last few months without it. [link] [comments] |
| Disconnection from the Passage of Time through Meditation Posted: 07 Nov 2020 05:53 PM PST I've been lurking in this subreddit for a few months now since starting my meditation journey at the start of this year, but only posting for the first time now. I won't make this into a long post, however I do want to touch on the experience of sitting down, getting into the meditative mindset, over coming the challenges of distractions from your focus, and the outcome of being disconnected from time; "Has it been 15 or 45 minutes?" , "Maybe I should check the time?" I have never felt such an overwhelming sense of achievement and self-fulfilment through meditation until today where I had thought at the end of my session I thought it had only been 30 minutes, but I had surpassed AN HOUR of unbroken meditating. I don't really have many friends or acquaintances who are even remotely interested in meditation, or would lend me an ear to hear what I have to say, so it thought this belonged here. ☺️ Anyway, love and positivity to all, I'm glad I'm on this journey with you all. ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 04:08 PM PST Normally I only meditate for 20mins. I've been meditating since I was freshman in high school off/on now I'm a seniors. But this was my first time I did a one hour meditation session. And everything really does pass on including my thought the itching sensations. I would just be still and observe I even observe my restlessness. The only thing is my lack of concentration of the breath. I would focus and be mindful of my breath then wander off again. Another thing I've notice was. It was almost like I was sleeping but totally conscious I could even observe myself wanting to fall asleep. Even when I'm making this post my mindfulness and concentration is still lingering.....sorry about my grammar and English I was speeding through this😂 [link] [comments] |

| My mind going against doing meditation Posted: 07 Nov 2020 05:14 PM PST Hi, So I've actually done some meditation in the past, 2 years had meditation every day. I stopped at some point because of some life events and tried to go back to it. Although I know I have plenty of time and I understand how basic meditation works (after reading quite a few books about it) and how beneficial it was for me I can't seem to bring myself to do meditation, not even once. It feels like my mind is opposing it and I can't force it to do it. I know it sounds funny but it really does feel like that, there is some root cause which is going on and I can't figure the reason for it. By logic I should want to do meditation because I already know it is beneficial to me from past experience. Anyone experience that before and can give some suggestions? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:35 PM PST Trapped into this so lovely fake reality we choose to see, a trap we chose to be in. Waking up, going on with our day, dealing with "people". Having emotions, towards them, emotions controling us -"this person makes me so angry, so sad". Doing our jobs about the emotions, standing up for ourselves, or not taking someone's bullshit, or accept a kind act someone wished to direct towards us, struggling, striving forward into what we think is right for ourselves, in deep pain some of us, in deep determination towards dealing with our traumas. What I wanna say is keep going. Do that so courageous thing that feels so right in the moment. Do what you think is so right for yourself and your heart and please, pay close attention to your emotions, no matter what your perception is. As by doing what is right for our hearts, together, and only together, with the others influence, we are emerging out of our wounds, out of our pains, out of this separation, this temporary illusion that just always seema to fade at the end of the struggle. It's just that brief moment of surrendering and loving all and realising, that -yes, I dp what I have to do for myself, but I do it ultimately for us all, for breaking free, for union, for us all being in bliss together, jolly and in happiness. All I do, I do for us even when I'm so angry, so feeling ashamed or guilty. There's no shame in this process for we complement each others perfectly, no other self better than the other, all helping each other ultimately to break free. And we need each other. Because, at another plane of being, we are all hugging, in Love and pure joy, jolly as kiddos, purest as it can be. Because we are already free And so, trough my words, my intention is just to thank you for how you are right now in this moment, for playing your part in this game we chose to manifest and just sending my love from this place that I'm in right now, I am growing too, slowly, and separation takes a hold of me many times but I secretely allow it for it is necessary. But right now, in this moment I feel like we're all connected and I wish to say all the above [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 09:44 PM PST I just found this sub but I have meditated casually on and off for a year or two. I live in Los Angeles and during the summer when I was biking around the beach a lot, I would often go for walks afterwards around the city. Usually I would switch between wearing headphones or being present and observing. More recently I haven't been out as much but last weekend I went for a long walk. I accidentally forgot my headphones and ended up walking for a good 2 and a half hours mostly present and observing the city. The next day when I was working I found myself insanely productive and focused. I had a clarity unlike anything in more recent memory. I was tackling problems left and right and it felt as if I knew exactly what I needed to do. It was like an intense concentrated flow state. I'm a musician and write lots of music as a hobby so I know what this feels like but find it very difficult to reproduce. It often "just happens" and you end up with something extraordinary. Yet before this recent episode, I found myself my typical self: having a scattered brain but sometimes concentrating long enough to solve a difficult problem or two. This recent state was completely different. I literally felt like I had a vision and I knew exactly what to do. I'm still feeling the inspiration from this moment even now but I haven't done more meditation or mindful practices besides exercise. Very rarely do I walk for so long while remaining so present, usually opting to listen to some music or podcast. However after only one walk I was able to inspire such a stark change in my clarity of mind and purpose. I really feel like I'm on to something and plan to try another long mindful walk tomorrow. I imagine many cannot tolerate long walks without any sort of stimulation but it's my feeling that the "boredom" pays dividends directly back to you in giving you a clear path forward in what you want to do. I'm curious if anyone else had similar experiences or can relate. Otherwise maybe if you are lacking direction or clarity, you can go for a long walk to clear your mind. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Nov 2020 12:51 AM PST I've been meditating for about a week now and haven't noticed anything too crazy until today. While I was meditating, I noticed that I suddenly wasn't thinking about anything, there were no thoughts in my mind. My whole mind was completely blank and I started feeling this sensation all throughout my body that I don't know how to explain. My eyes also started to twitch while closed, this feeling kinda scared me but as soon as I began to notice and be aware of this feeling, it went away. What does this mean? [link] [comments] |
| I decided to start meditating today and i need some feedback Posted: 07 Nov 2020 08:39 PM PST i'm 15 years old. earlier today i heard of the benefits of meditating, so I decided what the hell, I'll do anything to improve myself. i made sure to focus on my breathing and posture. after I got myself situated and was meditating, something wonderful happened. i started to feel like my corporeal existence and all things around me ceased to materialize, like I was floating, and I started to get really intense goosebumps along my neck and head. a feeling of elation washed over me in an awesome wave. unfortunately, this excited me and I had to break the momentum to reflect on what happened. it's kinda like a toddler learning to ride a bike realizes his dad isn't right behind him and falling down from panic. I was wondering, is it possible for this feeling of euphoria, the feeling of transcending yourself, to keep itself up for long periods of time, and with consistent or gradually increasing intensity? and for people who have been doing this for a long time, this might make you jaded, but how has meditating changed you, and do you agree with what the internet says the benefits of it are?

| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:25 AM PST I'm not here to disprove or be a skeptic, I think meditation is incredibly powerful. I would simply like to hear what you guys have to say and share. Thank you so much! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 08:31 PM PST I started to meditate during the lockdown with guide meditation, but now i am doing only with calm music, but every time i started to think on other thinks like situations, work and tasks that I need to do. Does anyone have a tip to stop this from happening ? Appreciate your helps. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:53 PM PST So when I meditate it's a very inconsistent experience. Because the whole goal is to let go so I don't try to control my emotions or thoughts at all. Sometimes I get sad, I get a burst of energy or I just get straight up euphoria. There have been times where it's almost as if I was high. I get giggly and just feel super happy it's strange. I'm just wondering if anyone else could relate to this. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 06:43 PM PST Like the title says, I have a lot of "noise" in my head. I'm not sure if you guys get what I mean. I'm a college student, so my life is constantly stressful. I know for a fact that I need to clear my head in order to achieve my goals but I just don't know how to. Perhaps meditation is the way? If so, can you guys tell me how to get started? Would appreciate it a lot [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:17 PM PST This is my first time posting here. :) I've started meditating regularly for the past 1 month, once a day. It has been a game changer in my life, and I'd like to deepen my practice. What is a good time to meditate? And how many times per day is a good number? Thank you! :) [link] [comments] |
| Can anyone create meditations? Do you need special qualifications/training? Posted: 07 Nov 2020 09:30 PM PST I've been meditating for the past year and a half, and I've listened to many different guided mediations. I've been thinking of creating my own guided meditations to post on YouTube, using techniques I've learned. Am I allowed to do that? Or could that be potentially harmful? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 05:18 PM PST I have reached 1:08 of meditation before and it was the most peaceful I have ever felt. To the point when I was done I was shaking and tingling (a great tingling that lasted about 15-20 minutes) and had a tough time even speaking. My question is "How different is a 2 hour meditation than a 1:08 meditation?"... I know it is obviously more beneficial as meditation length often accompanies meditation importance/success. For those of you who have accomplished this feat what are your experiences? I am looking to start at 7:00 ET/8:00 CST and will be taking a 10 minutes ice cold shower at 6:45 ET [link] [comments] |
| Drinking tea (matcha) during meditation. Posted: 07 Nov 2020 09:01 PM PST Drinking tea (matcha) during meditation. I really enjoy a cup of matcha. I've been trying to meditate more often and I found that the best time to do it is when I first wake up. So, I have started drinking it during my 25 minute meditation session. I have found that it does not make me physically jittery like coffee will, but it offers me a sort of boost I terms of focus and attention. Has anyone else experienced this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:32 PM PST If I try to smile while focusing on the breath, doesn't that mean that I'm focused on smiling, and not on the breath? I feel like I'm not focusing properly. It's like I'm always checking whether I'm smiling and checking whether I'm focused on the breath. It just causes me anxiety... Some tips on smiling during meditation (mindfulness)?

| Why spirituality is not enough Posted: 07 Nov 2020 06:26 AM PST Spirituality and Religion are both great ways to enhance one's life. You gain more control, are less anxious, feel more at ease with life itself and may lose the feeling of being an unconnected meaningless fragment in an alien universe. As someone who actively practices spirituality every day, I do have come to realize that I often lose my state of being conscious. That may partly because of my ADHD or the many addictions I have suffered from over the course of my life, but it's a cycle nonetheless. I like to compare it with the seasons or the economic cycle, in fact I believe that the latter one is a reflection of our inherent continuous changes that give shape to our world just like the moon shapes the ocean. I always come back to my state of mind. I expand and contract, I am free and bound, I am alive in my every being and then I am caught up in time again. When I become unconscious, I do not lose my sense of self, as I do consider myself to have a lot of self esteem, which is my guarding parachute that helps me sustain a good and healthy life. But I had to work hard for it. I've listened to the Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden over and over again and worked through dozens of exercises that helped me build the foundation for the life that I now enjoy. I came from nothing, I had absolutely no self esteem, so believe me when I say, that there is hope. Don't you know or have heard stories about a woman that considers herself to be a highly spiritual being, but who just appears uneasy or hysterical to you and others? What do you think she is lacking? It's self esteem, which is why her esoteric kind of way is viewed as negative and disruptive. The book Siddharta by Hermann Hesse allows an interesting insight into the life of a highly spiritual man that doesn't have any self esteem. The man in the story went from a spiritual life to a life of luxury and vices, but decided to move back to a spiritual one. While he did fulfill his inner purpose, you will find that he was incapable of taking responsibility for the consequences of his actions. In the end he even realizes the harm he has caused but has no interest in settling the debt. So I have to conclude that, in order to live a fulfilling and healthy life, you do not only need spirituality, but self esteem as well. tl;dr: You cycle back and forth between being conscious and being identified with your mind, which is why you need self esteem to stay in control. Thank you for reading. [link] [comments] |

| Space is a great reminder of our formless nature. Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:08 PM PST Space is always here to remind us that we are the formless Awareness that is like space. It is Aware of space, but space is the closest possible description of it. Awareness is truly indescribable. How can you describe Infinity? When we are effortless it is like space being in space and all that space appears in the greatest space that is not a space. When we are ego identified it is like shit being in shit and all that shit appears in the vast Infinite Consciousness that you are. Yes, literaly shit in the Infinite. When we can discern between time/timeless Infinite/bound freedom/suffering, the freedom is knocking on our door. We are already inside and free. The ego is just a program. It doesn't exist. It has no reality. It's just a collection of thoughts and projection about past/future made out of fear and desire to survive. It's actually just an innocent program that Consciousness had to make to survive in the shitty circumstances it faced with. But now, the ego doesn't have to exist anymore. We can be free by just realising that we are the effortless Consciousness. Already. It is here. Here. Closer than here. No distance at all. Let's wake upppp. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Thank you. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| inner monologue turning into nonsense Posted: 07 Nov 2020 06:42 PM PST Whenever I sit down and begin to observe my thoughts and the voice inside my head having, you know, thoughts, it's almost like I slowly find it harder to even have real, sensical thoughts and they begin to turn into absolute gibberish. It'll kind of be like "Man my stomach feels weird.. okay whatever just feel it.. my mind kind of feels like it's expanding gets tired of thinking oshanahohanao lakalakalaka blalalanafoonna" it's hard to explain lol but it's almost like I'm just making up my own language in my head and I just start speaking it fluently, and as this happens my mindspace starts feeling bigger and bigger and my body also feels like it's being distorted. Just my experience and I wanted to share and see if anyone can relate to the inner voice gibberish thing? [link] [comments] |
