- I want to induce my spirituality by doing yoga correctly and yet I’m sure doing yoga from the YouTube videos may be very incorrect, and if I do it wrong I can harm my energetic field. I think only being in a school with a presence of teacher is the only right way. Am I correct ?

| Would you let a dice toss determine your daily mood? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 11:44 AM PST If the dice lands on 1, then you are happy. If it lands on 2, then you are angry. If it lands on 3, then you are bored. 4 - you are jealous. 5 - excited. 6 - stressed out. "Of course not!" you say. Why not? You continue your answer: "Because it's completely random, out of my control. Why would I let something completely random and out of my control decide my mood for that day? My emotions would be like a wild rollercoaster ride every day!" But, isn't that what you do every single day anyway? If the weather is clear and sunny, you say it's a "good" day. If the weather is rainy, you say it's a "bad" day. If you get stuck in a traffic jam due to a car accident ahead, you get frustrated, stressed, and angry. If there are no accidents and the traffic is light as a result, then you are happy. If someone says something nasty to you, you react by getting defensive. If a stranger gives you a compliment, then you are happy. All of these things (and many more) are random and out of your control, just like that silly dice. If you wouldn't let a dice decide your mood for the day, why let these decide then? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:34 PM PST I began meditating a couple months back. 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. It's not a lot, but it worked. I haven't been the best at keeping it up, but I always feel amazing when I do. I feel more focused, more happy, more grateful, and more productive. But, I just got out of a hectic finals week to a father who owns a small business that is insanely busy around Christmas. Since then I've been working 5-9 very hectic hours a day and often forget or intentionally miss out on meditation because I can finally watch Netflix or play video games. But there is still a very valuable lesson meditation has taught me when I'm not even doing it: what I feel like when my mind needs to start again. Before meditation, I would simply settle for a lower quality of day-to-day emotions (feeling unrested, feeling cluttered, not being able to focus on one thing for too long). But now I can recognize how I feel without meditation and be able to fix it! I've found this to be almost as useful as knowing how I feel when I do meditate because. When things are too crazy, or 30 minutes of meditation isn't cutting it, I can spend some mindful minutes and be back on my game. I've found this to also be very useful with the shorter days in the winter. A summer meditation routine might not be enough for the winter when the days are shorter and the weather is worse. I'd suggest everyone learn how to adjust your meditation routine based on how you're feeling! Learn how you feel without enough meditation and recognize how useful a couple of extra minutes could be. Hint: the answer is probably always more rather than less :) [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else get a release of energy shoot up their spine after practicing mindfulness? What is that? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 05:23 PM PST I've been mediating every day for five years and several times a day I'll destress by practicing mindfulness. When I do I usually get this very pleasurable release of energy that shoots up into the base of my skull. Do any of you ever experience it and is there a name for it? [link] [comments] |
| If you can’t go outside, go INSIDE Posted: 13 Dec 2020 08:35 PM PST In a time where the finish line can seem so far away for some people, where restrictions may be tightening and lockdowns triggered, it is more important now than ever to focus on the mind. If you can't go outside, go INSIDE. [link] [comments] |
| My thoughts when meditating vs throughout the day Posted: 13 Dec 2020 03:23 PM PST When I'm meditating it like my thoughts are non-destructive. I don't know how to really describe it like my thought aren't powerful If that makes sense it's like I'm transparent. Everything that is happening to me I'm aware of and accept it. But the moment I try to stay in this state of mind and transfer it to daily life. By being mindful throughout the day but my thoughts go completely ape shit. My thought are powerful it's like I either don't notice my thoughts or I identify with them. Does this happen to anyone else and do you guys have any advice. For transferring this state of mind I get while meditating over to daily life [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2020 02:15 AM PST I started meditating not to long ago but I have one thing to ask is it bad that I only use mindful meditation [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 07:18 PM PST if anyone has some hope to spare, please please message me or comment below. i'm at my lowest point and i'm not able to function. i'm so fucking scared. i'm terrified that life will always be like this. does anyone have some hope that things will get better? thank you so much, i'm sending love to everyone.

| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 07:58 PM PST One single life is a simulation of a multidirectional, infinite thoughts from indefinite source. You are result of a multiple emotional actions, reactions and aftermath. We all are in a reactive matrix having variables of it's own and we struggle to attain perfection in a one sided bet against it. So, have someone on your side so you can say 'you are that glitch in matrix which made flaws worthy'. [link] [comments] |
| Meditation forces me to see the truth about myself. Reveals my bullshit. Posted: 13 Dec 2020 12:17 PM PST I don't know if this follows what meditation is "supposed" to do, but damn it happens to me. Sometimes it's so u comfortable that I stop because I rather not think that far. Maybe it's less the meditation, but moreso the fact that I'm finally observing my inner thoughts. For example, I was around someone I really dislike today. I joked with a friend that I really don't know why but I hate this person! I meditated today, and my mind focused really hard on today's events. I honestly asked myself why I felt this way towards a person who did nothing wrong. At the end, I told myself I'm insecure and jealous and I feel threatened that their presence is preferred over mine. I never would have been this honest with myself if not spending time in quiet contemplation. It is very uncomfortable to come to these realizations but important. I felt much better afterward. Now, is this the point of meditation? I don't know. But I usually start and my mind takes over, it can be a long time before I remember to focus on My breath again. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 05:49 PM PST I'm struggling to understand what the MRI actually shows. What are the limits of the MRI on observing the impact of meditation? What would be the difference between the 1T, 3T, 7T and 10T MRI scans? Would you be able to infer more with a more detailed scan? Is a before and after required. Here is some stuff I've read.... https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/1/10/21013234/meditation-brain-neuroscience-moral-obligation Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2020 02:18 AM PST I have developed a good amount of empathy in the almost 4 months of meditating every day. Lost lot of anger and rage too. But I am still scared of this empathy. One part of my brain appreciates it and feels proud of it and other considers it a vulnerability. This whole thing might sound stupid but I am having some difficulty adjusting to this new way of thinking and feeling. [link] [comments] |
| How do y’all get so interested in Meditation? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 04:30 PM PST I've tried meditating a couple times before. But I can't do it consistently everyday cuz I'm not into it like that. I've tried forcing myself before, but that didn't last long. How do y'all get so entertained, or learn to love meditating? After reading the benefits of it I've tried so hard. But it either gets boring or I'm too lazy when I have time. [link] [comments] |

| What do I do about my inner monologue? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST I've been trying to meditate with Headspace lately and it's hard because my inner monologue never stops- when I try to focus on my breath, I just keep putting it into words in my head ("in, out, in, out"). It feels like I'm incapable of just having no voice in my head. How do I get around this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2020 12:56 AM PST Some guided meditations mention that, when catching yourself thinking a thought, you should label it and let it go. What do you think is the purpose of the labelling? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:03 PM PST Stumbled on the TWIM technique. Took to it and started to study and read up on it. Love the idea and teacher Vimalaramsi's demeanor. BUT, isn't this "just" ordinary Metta? And isn't the 6R's just the traditional approach to distractions while meditating? This is ok, but why repacking something that is already there? Or have I missed something? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2020 12:20 AM PST PS I am working on a side project that is like a mini version of the AI in white Christmas episode [link] [comments] |

| Struggling to let myself breathe Posted: 13 Dec 2020 04:02 PM PST Hey everyone, been meditating for a couple years and have tried mantra work a few times and I just can't seem to not focus on my breath. If I start repeating a mantra, my body doesn't take over and keep breathing, I have to manually breathe when I'm reciting a mantra, so I can't ever get lost in a mantra and focus on that My mind wanders and I don't need to worry about breathing. But as soon as I start repeating the mantra, I just can't detach from the breathe at all. I've tried saying a mantra in time with the on breath, which does work, but I'm very aware that I'm doing rather than witnessing. Pretty frustrating honestly. I kinda feel like I'm going backwards. any advice on how to let my breath flow naturally? I've tried everything, especially not trying Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST whenever I'm depressed I don't want to meditate even thought it's the best thing for be right now. and if I do gather the motivation to do it, the intention never really is there so I lack focus and go on thinking about all the things that are making me feel like this.

| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 04:52 PM PST Here's a post you're probably sick of seeing. Long story short, I used to meditate frequently, just simple lying down, focusing on breath, with some binaural beats. I used to be able to focus, even had a couple "insights" as I believe they're called. Now however, I can't seem to stay focused on my meditation, and often just fall asleep whenever I try. I would love to get back into it, and am open to any techniques and/tips. I personally struggle with "brain fog," and concentrating for long periods of time. I'm really looking to become more clear-headed and conscious of my emotions. Thank you all for reading, and let me know if you have any tips! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:21 PM PST What should I do? Where do I begin if I want to align all my energies and make yoga beyond physical movement ? So far I only watch videos on YouTube and yet sadghuru says you shouldn't do that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 08:43 AM PST I have adhd. All my life I have struggled falling asleep and would often lay in bed for hours with my eyes closed as my mind wondered. I remember growing up I would become bored of trying and would just play video games or watch YouTube until I fell asleep. In recent years I used asmr, but I quickly became "trigger immune" and now it's not even enough. Recently, I've been staying at my parents' house for the break. I decided to try something fresh. I keep an electric fan in my room while I sleep because it can get hot at my parents' house, even in the middle of winter. I decided to turn it on and meditate to the sound of the fan. But for the past five times I've tried this, I've fallen asleep while doing it, regardless of what time of day it was or how much sleep I had gotten the night before. Now, most people have warned me in the past not to get too comfortable while meditating because it will cause you to fall asleep. However, I see this as groundbreaking. I finally have a way to fall asleep naturally and on command. Never in my life have I been able to experience anything like that, and this has worked consistently for me for the past five times. I'm not sure if this is due to my mind associating the sounds of the fan with sleep, if it's due to meditation, or most likely a combination of both. But this is an amazing discovery for me and I'm very excited to finally have a seemingly fool proof method for falling asleep on command. [link] [comments] |
