| Feeling lonely, low, defeated and small. Can anybody talk to me. I’m in pain Posted: 12 Feb 2021 05:28 PM PST I need to rationalise how I'm feeling. I need to talk to someone with an ear to lend. I feel so hopeless and jaded, I've come to a place in life where I'm doubting the validity of it all, doubting whether I should wait to find out. That's what happened when you're trapped. 02-13-21 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2021 04:43 AM PST It's been almost a year that I meditate everyday. I went through the honeymoon period, then I kind of lost it, then I discovered breathing exercices, and cold showers. And it's been a month that I feel like a new person. More energy, WAY more confidence in myself, and in life. My voice is deeper, my moves are less clumsy, eye contact with people has become easier, breathing feels better, I'm less of a follower, I want to do projects again. Basically it's a new me :) But on the other hand I feel like I lost a part of me. A part that was sensitive (maybe hypersensitive?), kind to people, smiling, vulnerable, lovable. I feel that the new me is more grounded, more serious, more adult, more arrogant? and I'm afraid that I become less lovable. Life is complicated !!!!!!!! [link] [comments] |
| When it rains, watch it near your window, recognize every drop. Posted: 12 Feb 2021 08:42 PM PST Recognizing is saluting. Recognize every one of them. Do it for right amount of time and close your eyes. Moments are like rain drops that cultivate your heart to blossom. Water your heart by recognizing every drop during meditation. Moment by moment by moment... Drop by drop by drop... [link] [comments] |

| I don’t understand the concept of “no good or bad, it just is” Posted: 12 Feb 2021 08:57 PM PST This is something I've read a couple times in Zen teaching. I've been struggling a lot with negative mindset/anxiety/depression/overthinking, and have turned to Zen for some wisdom. If there's no good or bad, then what's the point of having a positive outlook, if I have to be neutral all the time? I want to see the world positively with a kind inner voice... but if that is considered "positive", and the wisdom is saying there is no point in being good or bad because it's neither, then what's the point? It makes me more depressed knowing there is no point. And it makes me second-guess my judgement when I have a "good" thought... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2021 05:37 PM PST I recently posted this on r/microdosing so I am curious to see the reactions here: I want to share my experience with MDing in relation to meditation. I have been meditating regularly for about ten years. During these years I have had some long periods of discipline with the practice (2 hours of daily meditation, not drinking, etc.) and have attended many long retreats (some of several days and some of several weeks) of 6-8 hours of daily meditation. I have also had some long periods with not much discipline (not meditating for several weeks, drinking, lots of weed, etc.). The technique I mainly use is called Dhammakaya. It is a buddhist technique that uses the center of gravity of the body as the point of concentration. I started MDing seven weeks ago with one day on and two days off, with a sweet spot of 0,1g of dried Golden Teacher mushrooms. A few days after I started MDing, I was able to resume, after about three years and without much effort, my daily routine of 2 hours meditation (5-6 days a week). The shrooms gave me the will to do this. I believe meditation has been the perfect complement for the MD protocol. I think it helps to extend the afterglow during the off days (sometimes I feel even better during off days) and also it has helped me to see more in detail my mental processes in relation to the old habitual patterns I want to overcome with MDing. I can also say that the feeling of wellness I have got from MDing is very similar to the feeling of wellness you get during a long meditation retreat. Something which is very difficult to get outside of a retreat even if you meditate everyday for 2 hours. This is what I wanted to share. [link] [comments] |
| If you have a houseplant or pet, drop all the names you give to them. Posted: 12 Feb 2021 08:33 PM PST Even don't call them cat, dog, or a bonsai. Drop all the concepts you create and look at them. See them as they are. Drop all names, titles of yourself and look at yourself. See you as you are. [link] [comments] |
| I had a pretty intense experience and I need help deciphering what exactly just happened.. Posted: 13 Feb 2021 01:30 AM PST Some foreground to this story, I've never really meditated before. I've always wanted to but have never given it a solid try. This is a long explanation of what just happened to me, so thank you for anyone who takes the time to read it. I fell asleep holding my son, but I wasn't completely asleep. At least i don't think i was. I knew what was going on around me but I was also in this sleep state where i didn't move my body, but was aware of it. I could see myself, but it wasn't exactly me where I was in that moment of time. I "fell asleep" holding my son, and in this experience visually, he was not there. Only me. I could hear my TV playing youtube in the background. It felt further away from me than the TV actually is. I had been thinking to myself after scrolling past something about meditation that I should seriously try to do it sometime, but had no intentions of doing it tonight. While in this state, I could see my legs as if I was laying flat and looking at my feet, like how I'm laying now. I remember hearing this unrecognizable male voice explaining to me that I have all this pent up anger, anxiety, fear, and it needed to leave my body. I felt a huge wave of energy come over me. It started in my gut and warped out through my limbs. It felt fuzzy and loud. Like when you're at a concert and the bass hits and just rings your whole self with vibrations. Exactly like that. It scared me because even though i couldn't see my son, I knew he was there. I was afraid I might drop him on accident. I told myself I needed to hold onto him and that we would be okay. After the wave of energy dissipated, my eyes jolted open, wide awake. After waking I felt confused, slightly scared, and that energy was still radiating from my gut. Can anyone here explain what just happened to me? Was it an intense dream? Was I meditating even though I wasn't trying to? I find it hard to believe its possible I was meditating without intention and then have an experience like this. I still question It though because I was literally thinking about it prior to drifting off, and never in my life have I had a dream like that. There were so many different sensory things going on. It was so wild. I am extremely confused, curious, and fascinated, but I don't know where to start when it comes to finding an answer. I read that sleep paralysis is a possibility, but a lot of things I've heard about that has a negative association. This experience was not negative at all. Just overwhelming. Has anyone had an experience like this? Can anyone tell me what it was? If not, could someone maybe direct me somewhere I might find answers? TIA. [link] [comments] |

| Divorce leading to more time for meditation? Posted: 13 Feb 2021 12:37 AM PST Hi, I'm going through a marriage breakup - won't bore you with the details but I'm trying to stay positive and upbeat through it all. One advantage is that there should be more time for meditation now as there won't be the couple activities that used to take up most evenings. Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you find it went? Did you keep your meditation practice going well through it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2021 06:36 PM PST Hi friends! I've been away from meditating for a long time and am still trying to get back into it. I'm looking for any kind of guidance on meditating for inner-child healing when it comes to dealing with childhood trauma (I've been to therapy for this, but am finding meditation to be very helpful in facing it!) Thank you in advance! (: [link] [comments] |
| An extra technique to think about adding at the end of a meditation Posted: 12 Feb 2021 08:26 PM PST I just thought I would share with you all something I do at the end of a meditation. Once my meditation is almost up I pick out three really happy memories. I choose a few different ones each time. For example, I have this powerful memory where I am sitting high up on a mountain (Telluride to be exact) with my snowboard, and the wind is blowing a ton of snow towards me. I took a lot of nature's energy in at that moment. I use that memory a lot because I love nature, and I feel like that is one of my most vivid vacation memories. I do this because it sets my end of meditation up in a real positive way. Sometimes when I meditate, it can be very difficult because my mind is not in the mood. I still always think of the memories to end on a high note. [link] [comments] |

| tonight it hit me different: a nice story Posted: 12 Feb 2021 01:11 PM PST The last few days have been tough for me and I've also struggled with anxiety. So, two good reasons to meditate here. However, it was forcing me to face my thoughts and my emotions, so it wasn't as pleasant as I usually find it to be. Until tonight it hit me different Around 30 minutes in, I was feeling my usual energy flow and vibrate through my body, and that's when I realized that is is my living energy. I am here. I am alive. I might have messed up today, or yesterday, but RIGHT NOW I am here and I get the chance to do better, to feel better, to try again, to start over. I am this lucky. I am right now. The pain we feel is also a reminder that we are alive right now. EVERYTHING is temporary and this feeling will lasts way less than you think it will As I was hit with these realizations, my energy was vibrating as strong as never before. It was like floating. Meditation is the greatest tool in the world. Stay positive guys, be present. Love you all ❤ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2021 10:03 AM PST I've only been a part of this sub for the last couple of months but I just wanted to acknowledge how great it is. I'm involved in communities in my life AFK but they are somewhat different. Since a little chickling I have had a few weird, strange and abnormal experiences in life. Some of these experiences came to hatch with a feeling that would confirm the point of everything, love. However, with nobody nearby experiencing the same thing that I had, I felt alienated. I could talk to my mum which is great but also that was just one point of view and it was hers. So my experiences became mine and only mine and I eventually descended into an episode of psychosis - my own world of the strange that nobody else could touch. That was a while ago but being a part of reddit, and in particular this sub, has opened my mind from "my" world to "our" world. It's helped me, and I imagine that also for many people who live without a community (or any opportunities for spirituality to fruit) that it's helped them too. Thank you to everyone for sharing, agreeing, disagreeing, trolling and reading. All of this communication is a playground for us to grow, THANKS! [link] [comments] |
| Senses are how universe communicates with you. Posted: 12 Feb 2021 10:39 PM PST That's why wind is cold, sunlight is warm. Flowers smell, rocks are solid. Everything greets you. Greet them back by realizing senses. Then you are in the moment. [link] [comments] |

| categorized Mind Calm Meditation Technique Posted: 13 Feb 2021 02:01 AM PST The purpose of meditation is to be your Self: to rest into your conscious awareness. Remember your consciousness is already perfectly well, calm and content; it is your permanent most powerful Self. It is the underlying still silent spacious foundational context in which all physical, emotional and life movement happens. Consciousness is the being in which all doing occurs. A natural consequence of reconnecting with your being once again is that you need to be willing to let go of doing, trying and exerting effort when meditating. Such a turnaround in how you engage life requires a very simple way to meditate such as Mind Calm, which reveals the exquisite quiet presence of your being within. [link] [comments] |
| Becoming comfortable with yourself in anxious situations (guide) Posted: 12 Feb 2021 11:50 AM PST Perhaps this will be of some assistance: - Being uncomfortable "in your own skin" or lacking in self confidence tends to be related to a lack of congruence between your thoughts, and your actions. So fundamentally, most people who lack confidence, for example socially, are not living up to a standard of what they think is their idealized self image. Whenever they perform an action, they're filtering it through what they think they SHOULD be saying or doing, and the person falls out of alignment. Worse yet, people around us can "feel" this energy coming off us and it repels them. - The way to fix this starts with paying attention to bodily sensations in situations that make you anxious. The bodily sensations include perspiration, breathing heavier, or a "flight reflex" (wanting to get away from a situation, your feet are even moving you toward the door.) Calming all these sensations and returning to a peaceful center is extremely important. - The next involves entering a "trust based flow state", what this means is you are not inhibited by your thoughts because you trained yourself to have a kind of faith that anything you say, if coming from a positive "central core" of your personality, is going to be OK. There is no need to be more "cool" or make up for any other self perceived weakness if you have 100% faith that anything you do, or say, is going to be perfect exactly the way it is. So, the real training to perform is learning to accept everything you say or do. - This does not mean being completely uninhibited and not thinking about your words or being conscious of other people's existences, AKA becoming a selfish jerk, because you want to come from a core of "inner positivity". If you're not criticizing, complaining, or being unhelpful in general, it's pretty much guaranteed what you say, and your actions, will be in alignment to this "inner core of positivity" and you can just come from a position of self trust and faith as a result. - Next, it's just about practicing these mindsets everywhere you go. Speak freely, do your actions freely, have trust and faith in them, and keep your mind clear / body physically comfortable. And soon you'll be comfortable in any social situation, stressful situation, etc. Try it and see what you think. I talk a lot more about this subject in a video I made as well, if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gbtMzwfoDc [link] [comments] |

| An obsessive urge to improve is a double edged sword Posted: 12 Feb 2021 09:48 PM PST You may be someone like me that always sets an expectation to improve in at least one facet of your life everyday... While that may be a great way to create desirable habits and reach you to your goals, it is also very exhausting. I realized that in self improvement there is a slight hint of self hatred or rather a lack of self acceptance. Again which can be a good thing to reach new heights, but unknowingly can be a 24/7 mental effort... I realized meditation is the one activity I don't have an urge to improve. I can finally just rest and quiet my mind. I can simply exist and there's no other place I need to be. [link] [comments] |
