| I forced thinking without using language Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:49 AM PDT I layed down, closed eyes & forced myself to think without using languages that I know. I was blank. It felt light and nothing at all. Peace. Emptiness. But there was that one thought "I'd share this experience with people on reddit" Ok. Bye [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone successfully meditated consistently ? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 11:37 AM PDT I meditate for couple of days then i stop...... This goes for everything else in my life cant seem to solve it [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 05:01 PM PDT Sometimes, after I complete a 45min-1 hour session, I look a bit more handsome and alive. I assume it's because I start looking at myself differently and no longer hold onto the past. [link] [comments] |
| Is Qigong and singing bowl chakra balancing legit? Posted: 29 Apr 2021 12:06 AM PDT I've been thinking of taking meditation more serious and have found a private retreat that has caught my interest. It is a week long private 1:1 retreat consisting of only student/mentor and not in a group so it's individually tailored. A day usually consists of - Daily Qigong classes, awakening/coaching, Tibetan singing bowl chakra balancing/healing sessions, Daily prayer and meditation session, including Qigong meditations. Has anyone got experience with any of these to say if they truly work or not? My intention is to get away from normal everyday life to a retreat for around a week later this summer so I can detox and recalibrate my body to take meditation more serious and for spiritual growth. However because of many con artists in western spirituality circles I'm not sure if it's legit or not. [link] [comments] |
| Automatically controlling breath instead of listening to it Posted: 29 Apr 2021 01:06 AM PDT I find that if I try to focus on my breath, during mindfulness meditation, I end up controlling it rather than just observing it, thus forcing it to an unnatural rhythm that ultimately feels unpleasant. If I focus on something else—a visualization of some kind, for example—it ultimately shifts again to its steady rhythm. Does this happen to you as well? Any hints on becoming more of a passive observer of your body? [link] [comments] |
| Thoughts on transcendental meditation? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 06:17 PM PDT I apologize if this has already been talk about here, but I just whant to get people's experience with transcendental meditation? I've been watching a lot of David Lynch interviews and it seen like something I want to try. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:58 PM PDT I heard there are a lot of benefits from meditation (reducing anger, anxiety, better focus, etc.). But my question is, do this benefits apply just from the fact that you meditate or by you remembering that you meditate, so, for instance, you shouldn't be angry in one situation or another? I have this question because I meditate in the evening and don't remember that on the next day at all. Does this mean meditation is worthless for me? (Though, I really doubt it's the case, it's always good to know any caveats) [link] [comments] |
| Female monks? Average age of monk? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 11:52 PM PDT Hey all :) - does anyone have suggestions/popular places for where one would go to be a Nun? Also, what is the average age of a monk? I am currently 21 and wonder if I should wait a few more years or just go and try volunteering at a monastery (I really want to try it) Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:33 PM PDT When you first start meditating meditate with a smile and don't stop until you come to a realization. It could take a short time or a very long time. [link] [comments] |
| An idea that did not sound appealing or convincing proved to be very effective. Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:05 AM PDT I am an over thinker. More than over thinking what hurts me most is being too involved with thoughts with adrenaline. I imagine/create scenarios in my mind as if my world is crumbling and i have to be the savior with my talk. I did a great meditative session today(Advanced:Mind by Michael Taft on Simple Habit). The session spoke about mental images and mental chatter. It made me understand that what i suffer from is a mixture of both(moving images with mental chatter). The teacher explained very gently to how labeling them or calling them out will not make us engage with thoughts. Though this form of meditation did not sound appealing, it proved to be effective. I had been trying different versions of meditation on this 14 day streak and this gave me the best tenderness and freshness. It gave me a way to undermine my unnecessarily heavy thoughts. I have 2 questions. Why is a meditation on breath or a chakra isnt this soothing(something wrong in way of practice?)?. Which state is better - a state of no thinking or a state of awareness of your thoughts? Please feel free to share any of your related observations. [link] [comments] |
| I am stubborn and don't want to use a chair while meditating Posted: 29 Apr 2021 01:40 AM PDT But I am having some trouble. So I bought a zafu and zabuton, and they are OK, but still having trouble. Lotus is no go for me. Half lotus does not feel stable. So I tried burmese style, but it puts a lot of stress on my ankle. Anyway, I shall keep trying. [link] [comments] |
| Meditation analogy I experienced with a bumblebee Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:32 PM PDT I was sitting on a park bench today with some friends after we went for a run, and there was a bumblebee that kept hanging around us by the bench. We all were aware that bumblebees won't harm us if it doesn't feel threatened, but we're still not really fond of a bee getting that close to us, to the point where one of my friends jumped off the bench to get away. Even though my body's natural reaction was to get away, I was tired from my run and didn't want to stand lol. Instead, I closed my eyes and imagined there was no bee there, and nothing to worry about or be scared of from sitting on that bench. Lo and behold, the bee ended up just minding its own business near me, and all the thoughts I had of the bee flying up my shorts or stinging me were all in my mind. It was such a simple everyday situation, but I feel like it helped me understand how powerful it can be to quiet all the negative and excess thoughts in your mind. [link] [comments] |
| Study Music @FOCUS Memory Calm Your Mind, Beautiful Relaxing Music & Nature Sounds, Meditation Posted: 29 Apr 2021 12:15 AM PDT ❗ The following video feature 4 hours of soothing ocean and seagull sounds that will serve any purpose. Nature soothing sounds are highlighted by amazing relaxing and focus prompting music, tuned on 432 Hz. ❗ ➡️ Believe it or not, the sound of the breaking waves has a powerful healing effect on our mind and may induce deep states of relaxation. The sounds of the sea are Nature's music. Ocean sounds are music to our ears. They provide the perfect natural white noise for calming and even healing our minds. 🔥 These sounds are ideal for sleeping, relaxing, studying, working, reading a book, meditate, and even as soothing lullabies to a baby. Actually, it has been scientifically proven that ambient water sounds have a drowsing effect on humans. When we listen to slow, whooshing noises, our brains consider them to be non-threats and tend to calm us down. But they're also an effective therapy for people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or struggling with insomnia. Whether you're listening to the crashing of the waves, calm ocean waters, deep underwater sounds, tropical shoreline sounds, rainfall and thunderstorms, sounds of whales and dolphins, and squawking seagulls, they will have a positive impact on your mind. ✅📤 Share this video with a friend: 🎥 Our latest Video Therapy: 🎥 Our latest Short Video ✅ HOW TO BENEFIT FROM THIS VIDEO: Play this music in the background while you relax and enjoy the beautiful nature images and amazing landscapes. The power of both combined will bring you gently to the needed vibrating state freeing your peak performance. ✅🔗 Let's Connect: #studymusic #healingmusic #musicforstudying #sleepmusic #musicformeditation #binauralbeatsfocus #binauralbeats #calmyourmind #beautifulnature #insomniarelief Study music, Lofi hip hop, Meditation music [link] [comments] |
| Does this count as meditation? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 05:48 PM PDT I've downloaded all the apps basically saying I'm going use the guided meditations to meditate everyday and I've failed at at so many times. The one thing I've been successful at is when I wake up in the morning, I have a glass of water while sitting in silence in bed. After I write in my dream journal if necessary. If the tv or fan is on, I turn it off and I honor that time of peace. I refuse to think about work or start planning for the day, or I brush those thoughts away when they arise. I'm thinking if I get away from the idea of sitting crossed legged for 20 minutes I'll be more successful at developing a practice that fits my personality more. [link] [comments] |
| May I breathe with my mouth open? It makes a big difference! Posted: 28 Apr 2021 07:50 PM PDT For the past three months, I have dutifully breathed in and out exclusively through the nose. Today I used both my mouth and nose and the difference was noticeable. I was able to relax my body, sink into my body with a much deeper and thorough exhale. The air was much more "tactile" hence easier to regard as an object of attention. Is there a good reason to avoid breathing through the mouth. What say you? [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else feel like meditation makes them less angry? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 07:50 AM PDT I've struggled with anger for a long time and am very good at thinking myself into a bad mood, sifting through my resentments, often lasting the rest of the day. A lot of the time I'll excessively clench my jaw, and let my emotions over things that happened months or years ago affect my schoolwork, relationships, and enjoyment of normal life activities. I started meditating about 5 years ago and have been pretty on and off in that time. When Covid started I decided I wanted to really take it seriously and do it as much as possible. I currently do it most days. I've noticed this past year that in phases when I'm regularly doing it, the angry days don't happen nearly as much. Sometimes life happens and I don't do it for a week or so, or do it infrequently for a period of time, and notice the intrusive thoughts come more, and are harder to shove off. Any of you guys experience this? [link] [comments] |

| How do I accept myself at my lowest point and still change? Advice needed! Posted: 28 Apr 2021 06:52 PM PDT I was talking to a friend and realised in order to change I need to accept myself, but that is such a strange paradox? I'm at my rock bottom, sure things could be worse, but I want things to get better quickly. I have no patience. i want to have a job, I want to be physically healthy & be thin, but I just keep hitting roadblocks, and I know it's because I can't accept myself right now. How do I do that and still change myself? How do I find kindness and compassion and acceptance for who I am in this moment so that I can change myself? Will the "acceptance" make me complacent and not want to change what needs changing? I keep failing at keeping any promises to myself , and I know there is a pattern here that I can't see can anyone help me see it? Thanks any input to make this better would be appreciated thank you [link] [comments] |
| What kind of meditation do you to when you're overwhelmed with anxiety? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:21 AM PDT I find focusing on the breath too "present", trying to be with overwhelming anxiety is just too... overwhelming. Any other kinds of meditation that night be a better fit? Something that's calming, but doesn't require being present with traumatic emotions? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 05:09 PM PDT Hello. I recently received my 7-12 English certification to teach and currently, I am filling in for a teacher on maternity leave. I want to describe a recurring experience - or perhaps mode of experience - that continues to happen. While Teaching, discussing, engaging with my students, my mindfulness will kick in and I will , not even consciously , turn attention upon itself (shout-out Sam Harris 🤑) and will see very clearly that I have no head. (If I was not educated on meditation and the jargon to go along with it, I would probably call it a flow state , or just really in the zone. ) I talk with my students, hear their discussions, respond, and it doesn't feel like 'I' am doing anything. For me, while teaching, the Insight is quite clear and it feels great! However , as you may know , it is a very vulnerable mode of being. It's a very unguarded way of being and I fear, sometimes, that ... I don't know ... That I shouldn't be so open in front of my students. Its hard to describe. It feels like I am going to fall down a well and I am afraid too, afraid of being so raw and vulnerable , while in front of so many people (who are watching my every move). I suppose the ego would like to hang around... Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has similar experiences in their occupation or day to day life. [link] [comments] |
| I am brand new to meditation and want some guidance Posted: 28 Apr 2021 02:51 PM PDT Hello all. Firstly, my apologies if this post does not follow the rules/guidelines (I skimmed them); I'm brand new to both meditation and this subreddit. As of late, school is only allowing me to fit two to three 15-minute breaks, as well as one 30-45-minute break in my busy 16-hour day. Instead of using that time to watch pointless videos for my pleasure, I figured I should do something meaningful with my time (i.e., meditation). I quite literally have no idea what I'm doing. I would like to participate in meditation during my longer 30-45-minute. break (which is usually at ~12:30 pm), after my lunch break. I need some help getting started:
Any help is very much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
