| Looking for new /r/meditation moderators Posted: 08 Apr 2021 06:33 AM PDT Hello friends, I'm posting this to request your help in moderating our community. Since I joined the team here two years ago, the subreddit has more than doubled in size. We now average approximately 2 million page views per month, with about 600 new subscribers every single day. I'm incredibly pleased that we are able to reach such a large audience, however, with growth comes growing pains. As any regular reader will know, spam and hostility remain large issues in our community. Despite our best efforts, myself and /u/theturbolemming sometimes feel like we're drinking from a fire hydrant. We need your help to prune our little tree of a community and help it to grow in the right direction. I've written a short questionnaire that I'll link below. It should take you about 20 minutes to fill out, but there is absolutely no rush to finish it quickly. As the subreddit implies, I would very much appreciate your thoughtful consideration and reflection rather than a hurried response. https://forms.gle/x6iLWd8o4PeAvzBx6 I'll leave the form open until the end of the month so that everyone who wants to apply will have the chance. Please be sure to include your reddit username and the time zone that you live / will be moderating in. Thank you once again for making this a wonderful community, and for your help in keeping it that way. P.S. My apologies for anyone who doesn't like the Dogchen/Dzogchen joke. I think it's hilarious.

| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 05:23 PM PDT So as far back as I can remember I've been able to cause my whole body to experience a really intense "tingling" sensation just by focus. It's not exactly tingling, more a really sudden weak feeling with some amount of "feel good" energy about it. I'm not exactly sure how I'm inducing its just a reflex like moving a muscle. I can't hold it for too long because it becomes it dies out too quickly. It isn't painful or anything. It's more pleasurable than painful but not exactly that either. It definitely doesn't feel like an adrenaline rush either. I'm just wondering if there is any one else out there like me that can do this and if you maybe have a theory or information of whats taking place? I just find it fascinating, maybe even rare, but who knows. [link] [comments] |
| Some "thought machine" absurdity Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:30 AM PDT The other day I had an amusing experience while doing some mindfulness meditation. The "thought machine" was particularly active that day and as I was tracking the breath and observing said thoughts, I noticed that they started to take a curious form. At my girlfriend's behest, she and I have been watching a lot of Grey's Anatomy lately, and I noticed that every cycle through the breath, my mind would form a random scene with Grey's Anatomy characters. There was no cohesion to it, simply a character would pop up and speak some incoherent line to another character. Then, I would focus on the in-breath, and by the time I was breathing out, my mind had formed a new scene with different characters. This went on for a while--there are plenty of characters to work with on the show. I think eventually it shifted to characters from House. I couldn't help but chuckle internally, like "This is the mind that I listen to all day? The one that plays dress-up with TV characters and speaks gibberish just to avoid the silence?" Anyway maybe some of you might enjoy this little anecdote, especially if you've seen the show. Peace! [link] [comments] |
| I finally mediated for 30 Mins after a year of not mediating Posted: 08 Apr 2021 06:46 PM PDT It felt so good to mediate and when I was in my trance all my senses disappeared as if I wasn't in my own body anymore. I couldn't feel my heartbeat and everything felt so peaceful. I was one with everything around me and now I'm starting back up my journey to find the meaning of life for myself. [link] [comments] |

| Time flies when you're having fun! Posted: 08 Apr 2021 10:43 PM PDT Thank all of you on "meddit" for your questions and your wise counsel! This year is 2021, so it marks my 50th year, because I first learned to meditate in 1971. I've been to so many interesting places since then and done so many things. I was in Viet Nam in 1971, and since then I've traveled to Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya) and a total of 17 countries on 5 continents. Had my ups and downs, and meditation helped me see it through. Thanks again for all your help and love! Stay on the good path all of you, and I hope you all will be safe! stay healthy! and spread the good! and that your journey is filled with love, true happiness and self-discovery! And may you everyday in every way get better and better! Paine 🙏 [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 05:16 PM PDT Hi! I'm kinda new here, though not completely. I'm a teenager, and my family and I are taking a trip in a few weeks and so I'm going to be in the car with my siblings for five hours. I would like to try to meditate during this time. My family is not the loudest in the car, though it's not exactly a relaxing setting either. I was wondering, is there anything I could do to help me to meditate during this? I have Amazon Music in the car, I don't know if I should listen to relaxing music in the car or anything. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| How do you sit without your legs falling asleep? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 08:46 AM PDT I've tried sitting on the floor normally and lotus position and my legs fall asleep each time. What's the best way to sit for longer periods of meditation? [link] [comments] |
| How to really let go - The ultimate guide (2021) Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:32 AM PDT In this video we talk about how to really and truly let go. Letting go/surrendering is not a hard concept nor is it something difficult to do. However, one needs to understand that letting go is like a muscle that needs effort and discipline in order to grow.

| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 02:49 PM PDT So as the title says I would like to start meditating but have little to no back ground knowledge. Is there any "tips or tricks" so to speak that could help me get started? I'm pretty much clueless, so any information would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 02:58 PM PDT We can't always change what's going on around us, but we can always change what's going on inside of us. Meditation has created such a positive impact within me. [link] [comments] |
| How do I - a person with acute anxiety and depression, stop turning away from the light? Posted: 09 Apr 2021 02:28 AM PDT Hi. I've been struggling with acute anxiety and depression for a year now. I had - and still have, but to a lesser degree - mental issues and was unintentionally harming myself. I tried my best to resolve life and health issues which I had and still have and became a neurotic and obsessed with order and discipline - I tried to control everything, as much, as I could. I forced myself too much, I resisted too much. Underweight and with 147\97 chronic blood pressure, I felt how life slowly leaves my body. I felt that I will give up soon, but neurotic part of me resisted. One important thing is that while I was obsessed with order and control, I didn't have bad intentions in mind. I was sure that my goal and my attempts are noble. I always kept others in mind. I just wanted everything to be alright. So I pushed myself to work hard to achieve this. And one day, 2 months ago, mother nature has taken care of me... There's a story in the Bible about a man who was warned by God that his town is gonna burn down and God told him to follow him and not to turn back on burning town or he will turn into stone. "Follow It and don't turn back or you are a stone..." - popped up in my mind. I froze. I sat on the floor in the hallway unintentionally and saw everything unfolding in front of my eyes - thought by thought, action by action. I was pulled out of hell and brought back to life, step by step. Now I knew the meaning of almost every Buddhist, Taoist and Christian passage that I read. Now I knew what "The Matrix" and "Mr. Nobody" were about(I'm aware that I'm ignorant though). I'm trying to follow it since then. But if someone asked me how to achieve this, how "to enter" here, what would I say? - Give up? Stop trying? Stop resisting? I can only loosely explain this and that's the problem - "It" is not always with me. As I said, I'm suffering from acute anxiety and depression. I have panic attacks and then I'm going around seeking for the ways to feel better or to hide from it, not to let terrible thoughts to come in. Being in that state - of "following it" - to me is the only way to exist. I know that you will advice me to take my time, to be patient etc., - and that's a good advice, because just 2 months has passed. I know that mistakes are unavoidable and I'm learning bit by bit. But since I'm anxious, every mistake costs me 100 fold. I want to describe it in more detail. I have samadhi every day and in that state everything is fine - not just fine, but perfect. Sometimes I can remain in samadhi for day, sometimes It's just a couple of hours. Now I'm in it and I use this opportunity to write this post in a calm and concentrated state of mind. I know how to get there intuitively, but I keep "forgetting"(I hope you know what I mean by forgetting.) And when that happens - when I forget - I feel that hell slowly comes again at me. Every trivial thing seems like a monster to me - like an unbearable burden. It all accumulates and I'm overwhelmed by that. I'm in chaos. Then I wish I could escape, but I realize that I can't escape from that, because It's always inside of me - and this thought strucks me really hard. So I have samadhi throughout the day, I go to bed and in the morning it usually disappears(I know the relation between sleep and loss of samadhi). Then I just have to "wait" it to come back - some 2-3 hours, but those 3 hours are as I described. And there's always a chance that I lose it somewhere in the middle of the day(when I made a mistake) and It happens again. I address experienced practitioners - how to prevent myself from forgetting or to ease those panic attacks at least? I'm seriously inclined to follow It to the end and this anxiety and health issues are just obstacles which I want to overcome. Help me do that, please. I can provide additional information about myself if needed. Thank you for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Voluntary vs involuntary thoughts: am I either? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 10:24 AM PDT A lot of the spiritual teachers I like espouse the idea that we are not our thoughts and emotions in some way, shape, or form and I do believe that. I believe that we are the God Self, spirit, soul, consciousness, awareness, whatever you want to call it. The spiritual teacher Mooji sometimes calls it the "isness". However, there seem to be two types of thoughts, or at least there are for me. The involuntary ones that make up the river of thought that runs through my consciousness and the thoughts I'm thinking as I write this. Thoughts that seem as though they are directed and focused by this consciousness. So then my question is am I these focused thoughts? Are they part of that "isness" or merely a tool used to express conscious intent? [link] [comments] |

| Are there any “drug” like benefits of Meditation? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 08:06 PM PDT I'm trying to get sober from various substances and am looking for a way to achieve a natural high / state of euphoria / temporary delirium. Does anyone know a mediation that can achieve this? A temporary state of calm or recreational high. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 09:10 PM PDT Hello everyone, I recently started meditating and first few days were the happiest I've felt this year. I was smiling and happy the whole day. But due to some unforeseen events, I've been again pushed down the road of anxiety, stress and depression. Still i try to meditate every morning, but I've noticed I can't concentrate on my meditation compared to what i used to do previously. I need meditation now more than ever. I am in a lot of stress state and meditation can help but I can't do it and i really want to. I do 3/4 minutes and even that are not of a good quality. Please advice me on how to be better and improve. Thankyou [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 08:49 PM PDT I had a breakup 6 months ago and I am still not over it, can't stop thinking about her. I have been practicing meditation at least 5 minutes a day for a month and I has helped me. Do you have any other suggestion, like a type of meditation, a reading.. or anything that could help me? (Thank you so much!) [link] [comments] |
| The name Aniyah kept coming to mind during meditation. Thoughts?? Posted: 08 Apr 2021 11:29 PM PDT I was doing a guided meditation to communicate with spirit guides and the name Aniyah kept coming to the forefront of my mind. I imagined her with big beautiful curly brown hair and crystalline in nature. I had a few distractions during my meditation so I wasn't able to make any sort of contact, I was just aware of her presence. Has anyone had anything happen like this? [link] [comments] |

| Using Meditation With Your Law of Attraction Practice Posted: 08 Apr 2021 09:58 PM PDT I cannot overemphasize the benefits of daily meditation as an integral part of a law of attraction practice. It has long been known that meditation can lower blood pressure and helps with depression and anxiety. In addition, meditation clears the mind and releases resistance, which in turn allows your desires to start flowing more naturally to you. As a bonus, meditation creates a fertile state for imaginative ideas to flow from inside. There are many types of meditation practices. A comprehensive description of the types of meditation would take a great deal of time. Instead, I will talk about some simple meditations that a busy person might use in this article. I will also present a simple mindfulness meditation that can be used. It will be up to you to explore further and decide upon a meditation practice if you so choose. Read More [link] [comments] |
