| The Horrible Suffering is Finally Gone! Posted: 24 Dec 2020 06:35 AM PST I am out of words. I never thought i would overcome that stage of my life. I was suffering from depression and low self esteem since childhood and due to lockdown and whole covid situation, i developed severe anxiety too. It starts with me waking up and I felt calm when I slept. Those depressing and hurtful thoughts were always in position waiting for me to wake up and hurt me. My heart used to beat hard, it used to pain. I had to lie down to make it slow down. It got so bad that sometimes thoughts of suicide seemed good. I always had this love for life. I knew life exists beyond my room but no job, many fears specially the fear of "what others will think" crippled me. But this love for life which was there deep inside my heart made me reject those suicidal thoughts. So, two and half months back, i finally decided to do something about it. I started doing meditation, cut down most of the social media except reddit, started focusing on why i am having these thoughts? Meditation is the most powerful tool available to us and it changed me completely. It was really hard initially to just focus on your breath with all these thoughts attacking you continuously and i couldn't do it for more than 5 mins. But persistance was the game changer. Slowly, my meditating time grew from 5 to 10 to 15 min and after a month, i was able to sit for 30 mins. I became mindful of my thoughts and my anxiety and depression started lowering. Thoughts can only harm if you let them. If you start ignoring them, their power on you start reducing and eventually they stop coming to you. When you start focusing on yourself, the thoughts of " what others will think" don't matter much to you. Meditation helped me in ignoring bad thoughts and to explore what's deep in me, the Real me! I knew the power of crystals and bought an Om crystal necklace when i decided to change myself. I started wearing it daily and often do the meditation chanting "OM"( which is a really powerful word) and i believe my crystal necklace helped attracting positivity in me(maybe placebo, i don't know! But it helped) . My meditation sessions are so deep when i chant this word. Today, I woke up pretty happy. I am feeling this appreciation and gratitude for life. So, i decided to write this post if it can help anyone. My English is not that Good so pardon me for any mistake and for this long post too! Love and Power to all of you! You will overcome this too, just keep fighting 👍 [link] [comments] |
| Since I’ve started meditating life looks “smoother” Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:16 PM PST For the past 5-6 days I've been doing some guided meditation, mainly how to get in flow state, and every now and then in life, life will look smoother, idk how to describe it better than going from a 30 fps video to a 60 fps video on YouTube [link] [comments] |
| Experienced a beautiful vision today. Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:24 PM PST I've only recently started meditating to help me with mindfulness, anxiety, and depression. As I got deeper into the session, a thought visualized in my mind. I saw some white gardenia followers blooming. The scene changed to the flowers blooming on a chain link fence behind my house. I was a child again, watering the flowers, when my deceased grandpa came up behind me and touched my shoulder. He bent down and reassured me that even if the flowers bloom slowly, it doesn't mean that they weren't always going to. They just needed time. I felt like sharing this because it was very profound for me. I shed a few tears after experiencing this, and the message was clear. After years of avoiding it, I am very convinced that meditation is going to help me change my life. Thanks for reading [link] [comments] |

| The meditation of love for the lovers Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:16 AM PST The love is the love. Love is everything. Love brings meaning to all that we do. We can be successful CEOs or farmers at our farmhouses, if there's no love, we immediately feel the void. I am sure that many of us have already experienced ,most of the pleasures of the world. And we experienced them again. And again. And we yearn to experience them again. This becomes a never ending cycle. You work and get pleasure. Then the pleasure goes away. You work more to attain pleasure. Then again the pleasure goes away. You work even more and the cycle goes on. One standard assessment ,that can shock you for forever ,is of time. It applies to people for whom work and pleasure are two different things. That's the majority of human race. Part 1. Just take a little while and assess how many work hours you put in a week. (Assuming pre-pandemic scenario here) A standard work day requires you to wake up at time, commute, work, commute back, replenish the energy. That's why it gets so difficult to plan times for other things during weekdays. Part 2. And then you have time for pleasures, the weekends. Do include the chores left on weekdays , which trickle down to your weekend. If you see Part 1 is substantially greater than part 2. You work astonishingly many more hours than the hours of pleasures. Now coming down to pleasures, it would have been nice to enjoy pleasures continuously. But no, either the pleasures deplete you of energy or the pleasures get monotonous. If you factor this also. Then the ratio goes way crazy. Now you will see you are working so much and the pleasures are even less. That creates a void. And we try to fill it with social media or anything you can think of. And we ask what is the meaning of life? How to be happy? The answer is love. If you are in love, then the love permeates it all. Then even at work you carry love inside your heart. Commuting ,you carry love inside your heart. Everyday . Every moment. You carry and feel and radiate love inside. This meditation is for only the ones in love with someone. It can be a human being, a pet or some god with a specific name or some material object Actionable steps: 1.Sit down or lie down in a comfortable posture.
The cause/the name disappears and your love becomes absolutely independent and forever. Continuous practice for 90 days is recommended.
And this is it. You've reached. A state of love without any reason or name. Now you will always be in love. Because you've become love. Now you touch someone, you see something, you radiate love. And this is the bliss. Now go out and do what you want. You will forever be in love and joy. Much love and peace to you [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:25 AM PST My focus and ability to focus is fleeting these days. With all the digital content, I'm really struggling to unplug. Decided to start simplifying my life and routines by making my Reddit feed more boring. Just left nearly 50 subreddits. More to go but now we get to the harder ones. I simply hate that it is so difficult for me to set the phone down and focus these days. [link] [comments] |
| Hearing new things since starting meditation Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:12 PM PST Okay, I'm going to try and make this a quick read. Around a week ago I started meditating, in my first session I managed to clear my head of any thoughts but then started seeing visual lines and my head would focus on that and I'd have to restart. At one point however I did manage to lay there for what felt like 10 minute but then turned out to me checking the time and an hour had passed. I smiling in bed, fell asleep. I did 2 other sessions where in one of them I couldn't concentrate and stopped, and in the other me laying there for 2 hours in total peace. I decided to do some research on google and tried to compare my results. I know we shouldn't compare sessions due to each one being beneficial in its own way, I just wanted to see what kind of things other people were having in their early sessions. I clicked through a few links and saw that people have to go through months of practice for them to be able to fully clear their thoughts and feelings. My last proper meditation has been around 4 days ago. The last 2 days have been weird, 2 days ago I heard ringing-like, wave-like, signal-like noises in my head, I really can't explain the sound. (As I tried to explain the sound to you guys it for a second came back into my head for me to hear exactly what it sounded like). Now, this appeared out of nowhere and when it started it was loud and literally being played in my head and then it started fading it out. I got a little scared and once again did a google search. I wasn't a fan of Tinnitus and refused to believe I did. I tried googling again but this time asking if noises in your head could be linked to meditation. And yes, divine hearing. Now I didn't make anything of this at first and went on with my day. I've also had random times where I could hear my family members having conversations in my head. They seemed really realistic, it's like they were talking to each other but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I didn't do use google this time because for whatever reason I didn't feel the need to, I just let it happen and it kept on happening. Just these random realistic non making sense sounding like conversations being played out in my head. This happened 4 times yesterday and I couldn't understand anything, I remember telling myself I should probably do a google search but I just disregarded the idea as soon as I ever thought of it. Sleep time, I wake up this morning. Nothing unusual seems to happen at first, I have been feeling better waking up in the mornings as well. Nothing seems to happen for some time when I wake up but then I start playing a game on my phone and I get fully into it. Not letting anything distract me, fully focusing on the game. And then, I start hearing a realistic like version of a song I was listening to earlier. It was just the instrumental, my brain just fully removed the vocals not tempering with the background track. This distracted me from the game at first and I looked around to see if there was a band playing around me or something, but nothing, no band, no sound, just me fully quiet. This shook me but I kept on playing my game, it kept happening, every time I'd fully focus into playing the game, I could hear the exact same instrumentals of a song being played on repeat. I stopped playing the game and not being focused on much I didn't hear music. It's been happening for pretty much anything. I'm really focusing trying to write this post and I heard the same song, and then a different one and then it went back to the first one. I can hear random whispering and chattering at times. When I do anything with concentration I can hear random music playing, some giving me the feeling to bust out a move and some more less intense ones where it would just feel natural. Now, am I being crazy and it's these little voices in my hand that are going to talk me into doing bad things, or is this something really related to mediation and am I on the right path? Are the sounds temporary? Could this actually be linked to divine hearing, or is it a medical condition? If it is linked to divine hearing has anyone got any information on it? Any advice and feedback are hugely appreciated. I know the post is long and I really tried to narrow it down, but when with constant things running through my mind constantly it's hard to keep constant track of what's happening considering I can't physically use words to explain it. TL:DR: I meditate 3 times and then start hearing random noises, voices and sounds in my head. Please just tell me if I'm going insane or not! Thank you, stay happy :). [link] [comments] |
| Random detailed memories pop up in my head while meditating like it happens on weed Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:16 PM PST I haven't seen my family in 6 years and when I start meditating I start seeing all these random memories related to my family and I always end up crying . I've been stuck in US due to visa complications. I've always thought I don't miss my family but mediation kinda uncovered the feelings and now The feeling of me missing them is more intense [link] [comments] |
| Getting distracted by one bad memory every time Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:52 AM PST Hi all, I've been sitting down/meditating for a few weeks now. Most of the times, I feel calm and present, a good feeling. I imagine myself as a stone in a river of thoughts: the thoughts just flow by as the stone remains unaffected. But I have one bad memory that keeps on sticking to this stone, it does not flow by. About two years ago, I tried a line of cocaine. My friends and roommates were using quite often, and up and till that moment I never used any. But that night I felt stressed (I didnt meditate back then) and I tried a bit, it felt good. One week later I took multiple lines... but I felt so, so bad the day after, mentally. Not because of the drugs, but just because I let myself down. I promised myself, my parents, to never use, but it happened. Now, almost two years later, I still have this feeling of letting myself down. It makes me anxious, an intense feeling. Besides these two times I used, I've never used again. But this feeling of letting myself down is like always present and comes back very often during meditation. What's your advice on letting this thought fly by as well? Thanks, and have a merry Christmas all. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:43 PM PST Built a strong practice this summer during COVID Lockdown meditating everyday, and also building my relationships with family and friends. This fall was first semester back to school in a year and I learned to grind but there were times where i put my practice on hold especially towards the end. Now im on break kinda burnt out and i dont care about much not even my relationships which were big to me before and i feel like meditating is the only thing that will get me back on track but i keep struggling and just going on my phone for hours on end instead.

| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 02:02 AM PST Hey! So I've even meditating for 2 months now and 2 days ago I meditated outside in my backyard. Back straight up, listening to binaural beats. 6 minutes into it I asked myself who I was and before I know it I'm in a deep trans where I totally lost my sense of self. It felt as if I was literally pulled out of my body in a split second into complete blackness. No images. Just black. I remember the feeling of being free and full of energy. I also felt like I was nothing and had no purpose but I wasn't sad I was just there. As if I was a being with no body if that makes sense. Right after I awoke from it I felt like was like I've been in that trans for hours but it's only been 5 minutes. [link] [comments] |
| Here's a great meditation upon the breath. Super simple, this one is my favorite. ❤️ Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:42 PM PST This is a tantric style of meditation from the Sri Vidya lineage. Y'all should check out the Himalayan institute if you want to get into this kind of stuff. They're amazing! [link] [comments] |
| Meditation to 'Meet Your Spirit Guides' Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:27 PM PST Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on any meditations meant to help one meet their spirit guides? I was told by someone highly intuitive that this is something I should consider doing and wanted to know if anyone found meditations that worked/they liked for the purpose of meeting their spirit guides? Feel free to leave any tips on meeting spirit guides in general :) thanks! [link] [comments] |

| What do you do when you get disturbed by someone? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:37 AM PST Now with Christmas, I'm at my parents house for about 3 weeks. They generally let me be and do my own thing, so going away to some other room to meditate is no issue. Sometimes however, they call me or go to my room because they need my help with something, disturbing my meditation. I'm not mad at them or anything like that, i just wonder what to do in this situation. Do I just tell them "wait a little" and continue meditation? Or do I start over? I usually set a timer for anywhere between 10-30 minutes depending on how much time I have. How do you all handle this? :) [link] [comments] |

| How do you convince people that meditation time is not “free time”? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:55 AM PST When I'm meditating at my house, I get a lot of meaningful sessions in that last about 30-40 minutes. But when staying with family or staying with my SO, it's like whenever I meditate, that's when my attention needs to go to them. I need to answer a question, I need to do a chore, I need to pay attention to someone else. And maybe I'm wrong, but I consider myself to be a pretty attentive person. I do my best to be an active listener, I clean up after myself, I take my SO on dates and stuff, but when I finally get a moment to myself, I usually end up sleeping instead of meditating because I'm just so overwhelmed. I've told them that I've taken up meditation in the past year, and I've tried to express how much it means to me, but I've literally had my mom say "I know you're doing that little yoga thing, or whatever, but I need you to..." And also, I'd like to someday move in with my SO, but they think that meditating is silly, and it doesn't work, and they always have something dismissive to say about it. So if I do move in, I fear that I'll have to do it "in secret" to avoid ridicule. My SO seems to think that I am calm, and good at focusing and listening naturally, but I'm not. This is something I've spent a couple years on. Despite my best explanations, my SO doesn't understand that some of the reason why I do it is for both of us. So, how do I either learn to accept that I won't get to meditate while I'm with these people. Or try to get them to understand how important it is for me? [link] [comments] |
| A Noob :) at meditation.... Pro help out dont pwn me Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:52 PM PST I am totally raw at this.... at 17-18 a friend said he saw someone hopping like a frog pretty high continously for around a minute...and it's all with meditation.... Heard it and out it went from the other side..but deep inside was etched somewhere...'meditation' Another friend who had just started said so many forgotten thoughts started cropping up he needed a pen and paper to jot it down when his preacher (his wife, snubbed him to continue...)

| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:30 AM PST I try and meditate for 20 minutes a day using guided meditations. I love the feeling afterwards, I feel calm and at peace, I start to notice things in the room I haven't noticed before, I start feeling gratitude. But then, an hour or so late I'm back in a negative state of mind. Should I meditate for longer? More frequently? [link] [comments] |
