| Time only "flies by" as much as you let it Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:24 AM PDT I had this tought come up last night that explained a lot to me, and i feel is worth sharing. Around the time i was 16 i started really struggling with how fast time seemed to go. It seemed like before i could get a grip on the current situation on my life months would have passed, and things would have changed a lot. Besides, this is such a cliché thing in society that was reaffirmed everywhere around me, and people would basically tell me "haha yeah that's part of life, it will only get worse when you get older" if i tried to talk about it. This was very depressing to me, i didnt understand why given how infinite time seemed as a child, and i certainly didn't want it to speed up even more. At this point in my life i was starting to leave all the emotional burdens of my youth behind and slowly starting to get my life together, but it was all very draining still and i was not really feeling well, basically just struggling my way trough my study. As I've been getting more and more experienced with meditation and mindfulness time seems to slow down again, the past year has been an incredible roller-coaster of personal development, and at the moment I'm honestly busier then ever. Busier then i ever tought i would be able to handle, so rationally this doesn't make sense. But still.... Time seems to be slowing down to a child like calm feeling again. Yesterday it clicked how this works. As a child we're always in the moment, not worrying about the future or the past. Either lost in fantasy or excited about whatever it is we're doing. Trough meditation and mindfulness we can go back to this state, it doesn't mean we have to be childish all the time or have fun in every circumstance, but we can go back to living each moment with our full attention. Time flies by when you're constantly longing for the next thing. Man i woke up so tired, i cant wait to be at work so i can drink some coffee and get it over with. Is it lunch yet? Just two more hours and i can go to have dinner. I wish i could skip time till my favorite show is on later tonight. Woops, the day is over again. And repeat the cycle. You see where I'm going? Ofcourse time flies by in a life filled to the brim with burdens. No one should have to live a life wasting most of our time to be able to simply live, but its a sad reality most of us do. Just the simple act of mindfulness can make such a tremendous difference, no judgement, just experience every moment as it is, without looking forward to the next thing and try to be as optimistic as possible about it. As I've been getting more and more experienced in this practice I've rediscovered how much time there really is in a day to benefit from, and that's been really life changing. Much love friends, don't let time pass you by ;) [link] [comments] |
| Why Being Kind to One Another is the Next Logical Step in Human Evolution: Posted: 25 Mar 2021 06:35 PM PDT I have noticed recently that most people in my generation and in the younger generation seem to be quicker to be a bit kinder or a bit more understanding as a default toward people they encounter and their situations. Now this can be due for many reasons, for one, I would like to believe that since the beginning of the widespread use of the internet we all have access to more information and more education about a wide variety of people and customs and situations in the world. I can already hear some of you arguing that the internet is also the reason for bringing communities together around the shared value of hate or intolerance and you are correct, but just on the small sample size of my own experience, it seems like the millennials and Zoomers are more likely to give someone the benefit of the doubt or at least be tolerant of other lifestyles. To be clear I am not pushing for the extreme political correctness that seems to be on the rise today, but just being at ease with all the lifestyles and cultures around us. There were many times throughout out evolutionary history during which selfish behavior was the most useful way to be. As cave people, only the most capable hunters and gatherers survived and to share with someone less fortunate could prove to be a death sentence for you. In times of war and poverty this can also be true, where there just is not enough to go around and being nice could mean you have a lesser chance of surviving/thriving, but with the advancement of technology and more and more countries coming into the first world, we as humans seem to be realizing that when we are kind to others we can build as stronger community which is in-turn beneficial for our own safety and prosperity. As our collective desperation decreases and our collective bounty increases it makes less and less sense to be a dick to your neighbor. At the end of the day we all just want to have a piece of the pie and in this new societal shift we are rewarded for being nice. It makes sense that the human race will continue to evolve to be more altruistic, to take care of each other, to share, to be kind, because now that we have the ability to share we as a species will be stronger if we stay in each other's good graces. More flies with honey and all that. Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I really believe that there will come a time in the not so distant future where altruism will be even more prevalent and kindness will be necessary if you want to hang with the tolerant, self-actualized community. Just food for thought and some Thursday musings. Love you, Cass. [link] [comments] |

| Wim hof method reminded me what my body feels like Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:13 PM PDT The increase in oxygen had my nervous system firing on all cylinders, my whole body felt like sheep's wool-ish energy, tingling, (that's the best way I can put it if you've seen sheep's will in person) when I moved around I could feel what I perceived as the electromagnetic push and pull in my veinous and arterial system. Then I found the power to be optimistic while talking to my father, and today was a particular bad day for that. It's a small win in the big picture but a huge win for the day. I hope everyone else here has fun finding their life, and make it more than just living [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 01:36 PM PDT It knows your future, and all possible combinations of it. Whatever choice you make your Higher self knows the series of events after that, And if you wish to get to a certain point in your life in the future, it knows how to get there exactly, step by step. A big reason why you experience non-instantaneous gratification of your wishes is that you may not be listening to your Higher self. That delay is caused by differences between what your ego-your personality here on earth-chooses and what your Higher self will let you know to do or not to do. If you want to be more aware, intuitive, detached from situations that won't bring you closer to your goals, and creative instead of reactive. I made this YouTube video in hopes to help you trust your Higher self, learn how to recognize when your higher self is warning you through your intuition and confirm through goosebumps you are on the right path.

| Has anyone else started to spend hours simply thinking in silence, or talking to oneself? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 09:45 AM PDT I'm not sure if this is due to mediation or not, but I find that I can gaze into reality for hours on end and be content, finding stimulation in the most regular of moments, or in my own thoughts. This is especially true if I'm surrounded by nature. Can you relate to this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 10:42 PM PDT Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I would love if you could help me as I ask again; any tips and/or advice for a fairly new meditator? I have been doing about 20 minutes of yoga then finishing with 10 minutes of meditation. However, I am finding that my mind is still racing so, so much. I try to pay attention to my breaths but then start forcing and controlling my breath instead of just observing it, only to end up very far off track with my thoughts. And occasionally I end up in those early stages of sleep where you realise you're falling asleep because you jolt awake after a really strange thought. Please tell me I'm normal. Also, please tell me its normal to want to keep meditating so I can reap the rewards everyone talks about when it finally clicks, whilst also getting completely unmotivated because I feel like I'll never get it! And finally, please help me stay motivated! Tips, advice, stories of your own... anything that might make me feel like this is all part of the journey and I don't just suck at this! Thanks in advance everyone! [link] [comments] |
| What do you do about ideas that come up during meditation that you don't want to forget? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 06:32 AM PDT I've recently started meditating again using Headspace. I'm currently doing 5min a day to ease myself back into it. I occasionally have the problem that I get ideas during meditation that I don't want to forget (about work, my art, to dos, etc.). For that reason I'm having a hard time letting go of them and keep them in my mind during the meditation, which somewhat defeats the purpose, I guess. I assume during longer meditations and with truly important ideas it might make sense to briefly jot them down on a piece of paper, before resuming the meditation. But I don't think this makes sense for my short sessions. It would be too much of an interruption. How would you handle this? [link] [comments] |
| (⚠️STAY SAFE) Fainting during WimHof breathwork LIVE Posted: 25 Mar 2021 09:59 PM PDT During my most recent meditation Livestream with my lovely girlfriend. I had held my breath and passed out without remembering a thing. When I regained consciousness after wimhof screaming "LET IT GO", I kept trying to hold my breath when wimhof was instructing us to breathe lol. FORTUNATELY, I was in a safe location and no harm was done, and luckily this was got LIVE, hopefully, it can prevent someone from doing the same and seriously harming themselves. ALWAYS EXERCISE WIMHOF IN A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT!!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2021 01:36 AM PDT I've recently started experimenting Tummo breathing... Does anyone else get a sore nose from it? Do you get used to it? Honestly it's my limiting factor. I feel that my nose gets raw from the strong breaths! Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2021 01:19 AM PDT Founded in 1960 with humble beginning self-taught Parapsychologist Jose Silva developed 'Silva Mind Control' to help his children do better in school and increase their chances of success in life. Since then, this dynamic meditation technique has evolved. Considered the Original and most imitated Meditation program in the U.S., The Silva Method teaches students specialized Guided Imagery techniques to "Rewire" their Subconscious and Negative Programming, tap into their true potential and achieve their goals.

| Got some weeks off - Suggestions? Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:59 AM PDT Hey guys I wasn't entirely sure where I could post this question but figured this might be a good place. Post can be long, so I'll TL;DR at the end. It's been exactly 2 years today since I came back home from a trip to Thaïland. I was eating dinner with my girlfriend back at our house and felt a strange feeling in my chest and feeling like I should gasp for air. It freaked me out and yep, my whole body was shaking and had to lay down on the couch. Stood up after a few minutes and my legs were still shaking and felt spasms at my neck. We decided to go to the ER and got thoroughly checked and everything came back clear (heart, lungs, blood tests). Felt a bit dizzy when coming home and a light headache and called it a day. Weird, but since then, I never got really over it. And by saying I haven't got over it, I mean: anxiety, depression, bore/burnout at work. I suddenly felt more aware of body sensations, persistent negative thoughts, developed health anxiety and after several visits to doctors and naturopaths, I have a leaky gut and starting to develop an auto-immune disease. This all due to stress. I think I've been stressing since 2019 and I'm pretty sure I'm in this state for 2 years non-stop. I used to be a joyful guy, always in a good mood, laugh alot and now I have no clue why I suddenly got that switch to those thoughts, feelings. Note aside: I'm still experiencing physical symptoms like my gut for example. Can't eat whatever I want or I get intense pain, indigestion etc. Since I am seeing a therapist for over a year and half now, I was debating if I should ask her to give me some time off from work. I'm working from home, and I'm getting into a state of boreout. Not much to do, stuck at home, and I'm overwhelmed by the smallest thing that someone asks me. I get so irritated when someone asks me something, and I feel like they notice my mood. My boss is aware of my situation and actually advised me to ring the alarm bell early enough so I wouldn't be too miserable and it would be 'too late' and I entered a deeper state of depression/burnout. Which is kind from him and I appreciate that. TL;DR: Got my first panic attack, never got over it. 2 years in and suffering from chronic stress, burnout, negative thoughts. Always in a sad mood, no more laughing. Seeing a therapist and debating to ask for time off from work. Onto my question: If I do get time off, I want to focus on things like meditations and doing more joyful things. Things that makes me feel like I'm more alive. And I was wondering what kind of advice you would give? Top of my head: new hobby? going for walks? working out? Thank you very much and hopefully ya'll can help me. :) [link] [comments] |

| Help: Meditation gives me anxiety Posted: 25 Mar 2021 05:12 PM PDT Hello all! These days i've been suffering from panic attacks and have an anxious state of mind. Since Sunday, which was the day my first panic attack happened i've been meditating daily in the morning and before sleep. I thought this would help but I think im becoming self-aware of my own heartbeat and it leads to panic. I was taking unprescribed Klonopin which helped me cope with it a lot, but I know it is wrong and stopped taking it. Im scared I will have another panic attack because I did not take the pill that relieved my symptoms. I need to know if anybody had my same experience and how did you deal with it. Another thing is thing,(although it sounds weird) is that a good cry will relieve all my pain but I cant bring myself to do it. I have cried before after meditation but this time it feels like I cant release those alleviating tears. [link] [comments] |
| Any core & breathing exercises to improve sitting posture? Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:39 AM PDT Are there any exercises that you have implemented into your routine to help: - make it easier to take breaths in a seated posture. - to improve overall posture and spine length for seated posture?

| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 11:19 PM PDT I was introduced to meditation a couple of years ago when getting clean and sober. I integrated meditation into my day by getting a session in first thing on a morning. I found if I missed meditation it got me off to a bad start. Fast forward a couple of years and I have no meditation structure but wish to reintroduce it. However, the one thing that has changed in my life is that I have a young dog. He is up at the crack of dawn and needs walking within a fairly short time of getting up. He isn't very patient! Which means I cannot get meditation in first thing. Any advice from anyone else that has a lifestyle problem? How do I make meditation count in my day if it isn't the cornerstone of my morning? [link] [comments] |

| Do you guys prefer guided meditations or just silence? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 10:32 PM PDT I like to listen to a guided meditation at night, but in the mornings I don't- I prefer silent just setting a timer.. what do you guys prefer? [link] [comments] |
| How do you actually 'deal' with emotions Posted: 25 Mar 2021 11:43 AM PDT Often when the topic is about escapism people talk about 'dealing with your emotions' by not using your method of escaping through video games, weed, whatever your thing is. I kinda never got what they meant by dealing with the emotions, do you just sit with them and do nothing? I get that in certain situations you've caused the negative emotion you're feeling and can make sure you work on that but the dealing with the emotions part i don't really get, would you guys care to explain [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 06:25 PM PDT Please advise some Youtubers who teach who to meditate. Tnx! [link] [comments] |
