| Foolproof Meditation Technique Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:13 PM PST This technique can be applied by beginner and expert at any time and is impossible to do "incorrectly." You have one job, and that's to let four things happen during the course of your meditation:
You don't need to force any of them, or hold any in higher regard than the other. You just need to hold a general intention for the first and the rest will follow at their own pace. If you're familiar at all with the general types of meditation you will realize that this is nothing new, and beginners are sometimes said to have problems with it. So how can it be said to be infallible for anyone? The secret that many don't seem to realize is that the distraction is a part of the meditation. With no distraction there is no recognition of distraction, and without recognition there is no controlled return to the focus point. And practicing the return to focus is the whole point. By the time you don't get distracted by anything, meditation has become so ingrained that it's not even a conscious action and techniques like this become pointless. What we are developing here is a way for attention to get a sense of how it refocuses itself when distracted. This is something that occurs when we sit with a general intention to focus on something and are reminded of it whenever we remember that's why we're sitting. This is where people can get the wrong idea and why this "technique" is important: They think that because they got distracted they somehow failed at the task. But before they could even realize that they "failed," they had successfully recognized the distraction and returned their attention to their initial intention! So the only thing they're doing 'wrong' is not realizing that the feeling of failure is just another distraction from the success of their focus. And if one encounters the feeling of failure, then they get the chance to work on overcoming it by recognizing it, accepting it's existence, and letting it turn back into focus. In other words this system can be seen as the conversion of distractions and negative energy into fuel for positive internal growth. This can be helpful imo. [link] [comments] |

| Please meditate for me and for my meditation! I’m on suicide watch. Posted: 02 Dec 2020 11:08 PM PST My mental health has deteriorated drastically in the last couple weeks and I have agreed with my therapist to be on suicide watch. I am going back home, a place that triggers a lot of trauma for me - I was molested as a child by a family friend that my immediate family (that know of the abuse) still sees and interact with willingly and frequently. Although I have found solace on my meditation, I know the next weeks will be very trying to me, specially with the intense social interaction that comes in hand with the holidays. This group has been such a support net for me before and hopefully y'all energies will help me navigate this storm. A friend recently told me "The only way out is through" and maybe this deep dive will allow me to further my meditation and break free from some mental chains. Thank you for reading! Be safe.

| PSA: Don't try to analyze what you experience while meditating. Posted: 02 Dec 2020 10:19 PM PST If you experience thoughts, feelings, sensations or whatever during meditation which you may or may not experience in daily life, don't try to figure out what it means, if it's good or bad, or where it comes from or why. None of those questions matter, and neither do they have definitive answers, they're just another train of thoughts in your mind. When you meditate, whatever you experience, experience it. That's it. Don't try to interpret it, identify it, name it, just experience reality just as it is. And if you start thinking "why am i feeling this way?" or "what is this feeling? Is it normal?" or whatever, that's just another thought! Just listen to those thoughts, the same way you listen to background noise happening around you, cars passing by, rain hitting the ground, birds singing etc. and you listen to all the sounds the same way as you would listen to music, none of it means anything, it's just sound! You just listen, without "trying". It's like sleeping, you do it without thinking about it, and if you think about it and try to do it, it becomes difficult. The same philosophy applies to meditation with any of your senses, your breath, your thoughts and emotions. And you can practice it anytime, whether or not you're actually sitting down "meditating". I hope this helps you if you ever have trouble understanding or practicing meditation. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:07 AM PST Friendly reminder to all my friends in the community here on the importance of non-attachment to the results of your practice. That is to say, from attachment comes expectation, and subsequent judgement towards not 'achieving' expectation (my thoughts were constant, I couldn't relax, i failed to meditate, etc). Watch how the experience differs when you remove attachment. Then, how life differs when you remove attachment. And I am saying this as much as a reminder for myself! I hope it helps.

| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 11:14 PM PST So i meditate but my mind is overactive asf. Like really overactive. I can focus on my breath sure but almost all the time my mind is thinking about atleast one thing and i literally have no control over it. If i force my thoughts to stop, its challenging and feels uncomfortable similar to holding a plank position or hanging from a bar. When i focus on my breath does it matter if my mind is thinking as long as im focusing my best or should i keep trying to force my thoughts to stop? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:52 PM PST Today I was considering ending my life and I felt pressure all over my body. It felt like I was stressed and had chronic, dull emotional pain that just never wanted to go away, and that I've had it my whole life. Just a constant dull pain. I decided to meditate for the first time in my life. I just sat, closed my eyes and let the thoughts go wild, focusing on my breath. After maybe 20 minutes, the world felt fresh. I felt calm. I felt as if my suffering is my choice. That it had always been my choice. Meditation helped me "get a vantage point and observe what was going on in my life, all the stressors and desires". Is this what happens when meditating or did someone inject me with a drug? [link] [comments] |

| How does meditation differ from spacing out? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:59 PM PST During meditation, I often find myself in a state of mind where everything sort of sinks into oneness. As I focus on the breath or any other object, I have a similar feeling to when I am just sitting there spacing out and breathing. But this is a contradiction since spacing out is unconscious behavior, even though they feel the same. How do you tell the difference between these two states of being? [link] [comments] |
| I can't concentrate properly because I'm stressed out by everything at this point Posted: 02 Dec 2020 02:25 PM PST Been considering to just go to some quiet place like maybe a forest and just let off all my steam by screaming as loud as I could. Me and my mom used to do this every once in a while when we just couldn't handle all our emotions anymore and it actually really helps. But ever since I began picking up mediation I've been wondering if it's possible to somehow deal with such emotions in a calm and less "aggressive" way? I'm trying to meditate properly but I just feel the urge to either cry or scream in order to release my emotions [link] [comments] |

| Almost fainted. Where did I mess up? Was it because of Covid? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 08:20 PM PST I tried meditation for the first time yesterday for about 15 minutes. I was going for 30 minutes, but I felt myself getting light headed and my legs falling asleep. I did no special breathing technique, I sat with my legs crossed. Where did I go wrong? Am I supposed to sit a certain way? Am I supposed to breathe deeply or slower? I recently had Covid, not serious though, I barely even knew I was sick. Has Covid affected anyone else?

| Cycled Meditations vs. Sticking to One Posted: 02 Dec 2020 10:47 PM PST Should I stick with one meditation or is it recommended to switch between them? I've practiced no manipulation, mantra, focused breath and have dabbled in pulse focused meditations and was wondering if any of you have tried cycles. An example of this would be one week no manipulation followed by a week of mantra and so on. [link] [comments] |
| Trying to find a way to Meditate with ADHD Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:56 AM PST Hello Everyone. I'm a big fan of Meditation and Buddhist philosophies, but I am looking for a style of meditation that works for me; someone with long standing and pretty severe ADHD. Meditation is extremely beneficial to people like me. My brain is often in overdrive, juggling thoughts, buzzing with activity. In a funny way, I'm grateful for it. I'm a very productive person, and I get involved with lots of activities that bring me Joy. But the Achilles heel of my condition is I find it excruciatingly hard to shut off. To medicate this, I often try to meditate. But my experience is very mixed. I find is excruciatingly hard to sit and focus on my breathing for example. Sitting still is also really difficult for me. I've spent a lot of time dedicated to this, but I can't sit for longer than 5 minutes. When my thoughts begin to wander, I can't gently let them go, and it gets so strenuous that trying to meditate that way really stresses me out. I've heard people say that there is no wrong way to meditate, and individuals just need to find a way to do it that fits their needs, so that's why I am here, to ask those more experienced than me for advice on what forms of meditation might work for a rampant mind ^_^ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:28 PM PST Ok so I've looked up and down for people who have had a similar experience to mine but I've found nothing. Basically, after I'm done meditating(or if I focus really hard normally) and I stare up at my blank white ceiling or at a blank piece of printer paper I'll start seeing things, more so with the paper. At first I'll notice things like faces on the paper and when I focus on them hard enough scenes start playing out but I'm not creating them, it's like the scenes are coming from somewhere else. Tried doing it while on LSD and it was even more intense, I saw a woman in a tree surrounded by mountains and water. However if I start thinking about something the scenes will start morphing, but I'm not to the point where I can hold the concentration very long. I've been doin this on/off for over a month now and everytime it boggles my mind. Can anyone else relate to this? I think it's super cool :) [link] [comments] |
