| Meditation is preparation for death Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:43 AM PST I've been watching the midnight gospel for a while and this quote has stayed with me for so long. I see meditating as a sort of tapping into my true self, wether I be in a bad place in life or a good place, I can always just sit down, and relax. Controlling my breathing as if I'm preparing to take my last one. Only love holds me here in the land of the living. I am proud of who I am and if I were to die at this second I wouldn't worry, because my heart is at peace and I don't have any unresolved issues with anyone. No grudges held or feelings kept, just truth and honesty. What do y'all think of this quote? [link] [comments] |
| I’ve been meditating every day for 57 days and this is how I feel... Posted: 15 Jan 2021 03:39 PM PST I'm 25/f, estranged from my family, diagnosed cptsd at 23 and been in trauma therapy since then. I did my first guided meditation at 23 when my therapist suggested it would help relax my nervous system. I used the headspace app and did the 10 minute one, i felt relaxed and enjoyed but practised irregularly and couldn't seem to stick to it. Since being diagnosed I felt my symptoms were getting worse and worse.. more paranoia, more regression, my emotions were getting harder and harder to regulate and I was getting defensive on the daily. It all seemed particularly heightened during the first lockdown in March 2020, things were hard. Around July I started doing yoga a few times a week. I would practise a guided meditation on YouTube after each session. As I began doing more and more yoga I got bored with the same guided meditations on YouTube that I'd been doing for months. In November I downloaded the app InSight and since then I've mediated 62 times and have been meditating every day for 57 days now. At first I found it hard to quiet my mind.. I wasn't confident so did some guided exercises first. Then when I felt confident I just sent the timer and began meditating myself. I've come up with a kind of personal system.. I'll meditate focusing on the rise and fall of my breath.. then I'll do a thorough body scan... I'll meditate by focusing on the moment in between the inhale and the exhale.. I'll do some Ojjayin breathe.. I'll focus on observing how I'm feeling within my body. I don't set a timer to any particular time, sometimes I meditate for 5 minutes, some days I meditate for 30+ minutes. No pressure. I find that the act of showing up for myself to meditate everyday in itself has made me more confident. If I think I can't be bothered I decide to meditate for 60 seconds because it's better than nothing.. then I always meditate for longer. The hardest part is getting there. Emotionally, I feel light. I wake up every day happy as a default state. I've been studying more. My relationship is better than ever and I have more space to process my partners feelings as well as my own. Meditation has taught me to appreciate myself and love my body and breathe. I would have never believed the incredible, positive effects regular meditation would give me. I feel strong and happy. A year ago trauma was controlling my life and emotions, meditation has given me clarity, happiness and my life back. Thanks for reading, Namaste [link] [comments] |
| I meditated during a panic attack Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:20 PM PST Here's what I journaled during it: I'm attached to this fear. Without it, I would have nothing more to work on? I would be too perfect? Part of me wants to keep this anxiety part of me? Because then it's over. Then I'm just at peace? How boring. No suffering? That'd be enlightenment and that's not for me. It can't be. I know nothing of freedom or peace...how could i be free or know how to be free? I'm just a young girl; I'm like everyone else worried in this world. Being at peace would be unfair to everyone. This fear seems like it's me- it makes me who I am. Who would i be without this? Totally changed- and that seems terrifying. I am broken and ill- or at least terrified that I am. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
| The most difficult part about meditation I find is being gentle with yourself. Posted: 15 Jan 2021 10:51 PM PST Wow I've been meditating for longer than a year now I just realized earlier. And despite saying before that it has REALLY transformed my life in many ways it's still very difficult lol. This shouldn't come as any kind of surprise though. If monks retreat to a monastery to master the practise and cloister themselves from the world to perfect it, well you know it's a skill that has depth lol. At any rate one of the things I have noticed is that among the most difficult of things is the art of being gentle with yourself when you notice your mind has wondered. It is said to just note that you have been thinking and are distracted but in this small sentence lies a deceptively difficult task I find. All to often I find myself judging myself for having wandered off and barely being aware that I am even judging myself too. That then only muddies the waters more and adds more thoughts and feelings to the pile. It is useful to also just note this as well but really only if you can manage to do that gently as well. The goal really is to note one has become distracted with the same detachment that one might note the colour of a wall. Very difficult to do when the things distracting you may be life events that you are invested in, or thoughts or emotions that one finds disturbing etc. Or perhaps one is like me prone to simply judging themselves for not performing well in any situation. It is like looking into a reflecting pool only to notice you have disturbed the water only the act of doing the noticing has to be of a gentle nature or else it is the same as reaching out your hand to try to smooth over the ripples, obviously further disturbing the peace.

| Meditation before and after a work out(M22) Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:52 PM PST There are numerous stressors in life, and as of present I have succumbed to them for the most part. Even beginning to internalize the little stuff. I decided today that I would make working out along with meditation my active stress relief. I started by laying on my bed, relaxed but alert, and started to search for three stressors. I found a primary, secondary, and tertiary only. Primary being a big, overarching problem. After that is your secondary, a less present but still viable stressor, and then your tertiary. Maybe one that found you during the day or previous day. Once those have been found and accepted I focused on almost making those into fuel for my muscles. I did my work out, and immediately after, sat down where I was (On the track and field area) up against the light pole. I focused on breathing and stillness while listening to the environment around me. Kids playing, the flagpoles, cars, the wind and leaves, the man playing solo soccer behind me, and the birds above. I felt so present in that moment after feeling that clarity. I am going to search for more places to meditate like that where I can hear and almost see the world even with my eyes closed. Of course I won't tell you what to do, but I suggest you give this a shot. It was definitely a game changer for me, identifying the sources and their subsequent release during my work out, and not necessarily reflecting, but just remaining present in that moment post workout. I had no intention on working out today and felt in that rut. I now feel fresh, changed, like my soul took a much needed shower. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else feel a slightly psychedelic visual after mindfulness meditation? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 03:16 PM PST I did a guided meditation today and after it ended. I decided to open my eyes and I just noticed color and detail a bit more? Nowhere near the psychedelic visuals of actually taking a hallucinogenic drug but I felt as if the carpet I was staring at was moving. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 08:00 PM PST 3rd dimensional creation - Is trying to change matter to matter. This is the dimension where the conscious mind is doing all of the work. This dimension does not live in fantasy or imagination. But, it runs on logic and rationale. There is a lot of struggle here. There is a lot of self talk needed. There's a lot of wishing and wanting and perseverance. There are lots of victims here. Most human beings are here. There is more attachment and a refusal to let go. Love is more conditional. Most of the work is done by the physical body. And it takes a long time to manifest things. The longest of all dimensions here. 4th dimensional creation - Here we first begin to learn we have power. This is the learning stage of self creation by the inner self. Usually, 'the secret' is the gateway or catalyst here. Others may enter this dimension at higher levels depending on their on level of consciousness. Later, as one continues their schooling they find more advanced teachers like Neville, Abraham, Bashar, Joseph Murphy, etc. Here you practice and practice you go through trial and error and you find out what works and doesn't work. Neville Is a popular teacher here. 4th dimensional creation entails abandoning the self to a dream state or SATS. Or assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled or being what you already wish to be. It also entails, the creative work of imagination and visualization. Here, it is recognized that the subconscious mind is manifesting desires and emotional experiences into our realities. And we have a great effect on the nature of reality. The dimensional vibration here is much faster than the 3rd dimension. There is less time and space experienced between the cause of our thoughts and the effects on reality. There is less struggle here than compared to the 3rd dimension. There is less attachment and less struggle with the idea of letting go. There is a constant practice of self talk, mental diet, assuming the feeling and living in the state of the wish fulfilled. There are affirmations and scripting and vision boards and many different tools and techniques to assume the feeling. There is effort involved. Persist, persist, persist...only because the desire state of being, manifestation has yet to be reached. More time is needed for a complete change to the internal state of being. Though manifestation happens here by the inner world, there is some delays experienced as the conscious mind struggles with the idea of letting things happen. 5th dimensional creation - Oneness and wholeness is the nature of this reality. The vibrational frequency here is many more times powerful and faster than the 3rd and 4th. Here one reaches a state of unconditional love and many more possibilities previously unseen is now available. Time and space is collapsed to a much greater degree. And manifestations are happening more efficient and in faster ways. It's possible for miracles and healings to happen in the moment in this dimension. To enter this dimension one assumes the feeling of wholeness and oneness. Deep meditation and fasting are tools and modalities for reaching this degree of frequency. Through meditation one trains themselves to sense the space and consciousness around them and to connect to it. To connect to something greater. Through meditation one abandons the self identity into the blackness into the void and become pure consciousness, pure awareness. No one and no thing. When one abandons the self identity he can now enter a new quantum possibility and live in the possibility drawing that state into himself into his consciousness. His consciousness is so altered inside there is no more effort involved in living as the new self. He becomes the new self. His thoughts are automatically changed, his behavior is automatically changed. There is a sense of peace as there is a feeling of no longer wanting that which he wanted. Therefore, when he gets up from this state he no longer goes looking for it. He does nothing. His conscious mind has completely let go. He is completely detached. He is living one hundred percent in the new state from his unconscious. And the state of being he cloaked himself in last much longer than the 3rd and 4th dimensions before he needs to revisit that state. There is less effort involved. Less effort with more power. Here, one enters the unconscious the deepest part within himself pass the subconscious into the unified field. To reach this state you must practice meditating on wholeness and oneness from the heart. Sensing the space around you. Entering the blackness and void of pure awareness. Then once this power is attained enter the quantum possibility you want to draw into your experience and live in that quantum possibility. At this stage the brain and heart becomes more coherent with one another. The heart is producing a powerful electromagnetic field that's drawing the experience to you. The conscious mind unifies with the subconscious the subconscious unifies with the conscious. The masculine unifies with the feminine the feminine unifies with the masculine. The mind unifies with the body the body unifies with the mind. The self becomes the oneness the oneness becomes the self. The within becomes the without the without becomes the within. There is no longer separation between you and the quantum possibility you are observing. Through this coherence or unification of the self there is many more times the power of effect upon the nature of reality. Every thought and feeling is manifesting in the persons experience faster than before. All resistances are dissolved away...And seemingly what was once great mountains becomes nothing, but a small obstacles. TLDR: 3rd dimension - Matter changing matter. Takes a long time to manifest. More conditional. Conscious mind control. 4th dimension - Dream state. SATS. The vibration is faster. There is still some effort involved and attachment. And some pronounced conditions with some obstacles. And some attempts of control. Manifesting from the inner world. Imagination creating reality. 5th dimension - Oneness and wholeness. Unconditional. Many times more powerful than 3rd and 4th. Collapsing time and space. Drawing the experience to you. No longer chasing it. A clear path without obstacles. Becoming the imagination.

| I'm beginning to question if meditation can really help someone with a brain like mine Posted: 15 Jan 2021 07:57 PM PST I've been using Headspace app for the last 3-4 years meditating on and off. I usually do about 20 mins a day when I get a good streak going. But I don't see much in terms of improvement. I'm just as anxious, procrastinate the same, feel mildly depressed on occasion and most importantly just as distracted. I've been binging on political news unable to put my phone down, doom scrolling incessantly and working myself into an anxious state even as I realize what I'm doing to myself. The "just observe your thoughts" maxim isn't helping. I thought I would be more equanimous, less emotional and psychologically sturdier but those moments never last. When I meditate I try to observe my breath bringing my attention back to my breath whenever I get distracted, but the distractions come in like a hurricane. A microsecond after I bring my attention back to my breath, it's gone again. Sometimes I get up unable to do it anymore. Maybe I should meditate longer or a different style? Or perhaps the negative effects of constant connectivity nullifies any positives of meditation. My thinking has a very staccato like quality to it. Every wanted thought interrupted by unwanted ones. It's exhausting to constantly keep bringing my focus back. It's damn near impossible to get my mind to focus on "boring" tasks that are beneficial in the long run over short term pleasure seeking activities that do nothing but interrupt the ennui. If this sounds like you and have successfully overcome these issues, I would love to hear from you. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else feel more present and aware during their workouts after having meditated? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 05:25 PM PST I've been meditating about 10 minutes a day (using mindfulness meditation) & only recently am I beginning to notice that i'm more "in the moment" & less wandering off or daydreaming during something monotonous or repetitive like cardio for example. Anyone else feel this after meditating? This is the first time i'm see some actual results when going about my day, and I love it! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:55 PM PST Nowadays before going to bed a lot of thoughts will be wandering in my mind and it's not letting me sleep like what are the pending things to do at home and something about office etc . Those who are meditating, is your mind relaxed before going to bed and are you getting quality sleep ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jan 2021 08:23 AM PST I've been meditating for almost a week now. Typically I meditate for 10 minutes a day, but I decided to do 11 today, just cause why not. Around the final 30 seconds of my meditation I felt the oddest physical sensation, as if I was quite literally slipping away. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, but is anyone else familiar with this? 🥂 cheers [link] [comments] |

The word OM is so powerful that this single word can produce powerful and positive vibrations which allows you to feel the whole universe. [link] [comments] |
| Best book to learn breathing meditation and mindfulness? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 08:59 AM PST I've read meditation and mindfulness by Andy puddicombe, but it's way too beginner level and the book just seems to focus on 10min a day practises. I'm rather interested in a bit more complete book without a religious approach and not as hardcore as the mind illuminated. I meditate 40min a day and try to be mindful throughout the day but I've been only doing it for 1 month so I'd like to learn better the practise. I just do it for my ocd and anxiety and to be more present here and now. Peace [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 12:02 AM PST When choosing an object of reference such as breath it is important to realize that your attention to the object will be distracted by your peripheral awareness of external and internal sensations. In order to effectively retain this attention to the object of choice we must allow these external and internal sensations to be apart of our awareness. This can be achieved by using these distractions as giving context to your environment and how all things relate to one another. The point is grow your peripheral awareness to create a stable attention focused on the object such as breath by not letting peripheral sensations deter focus. You simply allow them to be apart of the whole by being aware while you focus attention on the object. Practice by cycling through these external and internal sensations, briefly acknowledging their presence while moving on the the next, then bring attention to the main object. Soon these external and internal sensations will be there but never interfering with stable attention. [link] [comments] |

| Tips on How to Be More Mindful at Work. Posted: 15 Jan 2021 02:04 PM PST Hello, I think one of the biggest hurdles in my practice is being mindful at work. Work puts me into fight or flight mode sometimes and can be super tiring and stressful. Life, right? Has anyone had success being more mindful at work? If so what tactics did you use? I found once I started meditating with a mantra, it really worked as an anchor for allowing me to zero in on and have larger pockets of focus before my mind started to wander again. It's been sort've helping at work but honestly, sometimes I get so stressed I don't even meditate. I started blowing off my practice more and more and only having sporadic moments of mindfulness practice. I also found running really helped relieve some stress. [link] [comments] |
