| Posted: 25 Apr 2021 01:54 AM PDT If you want to use, use, but be clear and honest. That's the point. If people use substances in their regular life and/or combine their practice with substances, then it should be clearly stated in their posts. Not doing so is misinformation. As some people also use this sub for help and guidance with meditation and stuff (hell, all of us use this sub for help and discussion, in some way, at some point), skipping this important info is pure misguidance. Make it a fricking rule already. How many times has this point been raised by now? You're doing all other users and practitioners a disservice by not telling them. Add it as a rule in the sidebar. Drugs, Weed, Alcohol, any mind altering substances. If someone is on medically prescribed stuff that is mind altering or addictive, in the spirit of honest discourse, they should mention it too.

| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 03:46 PM PDT As the Earth rotates daily on its axis, every morning the sun brings light to the darkness, warmth and comfort to the chill of night, photo synthesis to plants, and security to humans. It's for this reason that as far back as 14,000 8.C.E., adoration of the sun has been sketched onto stone tablets and cave walls. Countless mythologies (including civilizations in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Mayans and the Aztecs, and the Australian Aborigines, to name just a few) have extolled the sun as worthy of worship, as well as a source of enlightenment, illumination, and wisdom. While the sun may be almost 93 million miles away, when it becomes active it has significant consequences to life on Earth because the Earth and the sun are related by electromagnetic fields. On a grand scale, it is impossible to deny the interconnectivity between the sun's energy, the Earth's energy, and the energy of all living species. On a micro level, all you have to do is look at the life cycle of a fruit or vegetable to understand this interdependence. Consciously absorbing that energy to combine with your own Spiritual Energy has tremendous benefits for your astral body, physical health and much more. Your spiritual energy goes under many different names like Spiritual chills, Euphoria, Voluntary goosebumps, Ecstasy, Prana, Chi, Qi, Vayus, Aura, Mana, Life force, Pitī, Rapture, Ruah, Ether, Nephesch, Chills, Frissons, The Force and many more. Here's a 3 minute YouTube video expanding more on the benefits and how to, actually absorb the energy from the sun, through your own self-induced voluntary goosebumps from positive events/thoughts/memories/feelings.

| Sounds for meditation/relaxing Posted: 25 Apr 2021 05:19 AM PDT Can you suggest audio tracks with natural sounds for meditation? Rain, wind, ocean, sound bowls, etc. But please make it natural, real-time recordings. So, no loops or artificial sounds. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 10:09 PM PDT So I've been meditating for almost a year now and I've started to see the air shimmering, like I seeing air particles moving. I mostly see this in my room probably because that's were I meditate. It almost looks like energy flowing in my room. Not only that but I've started seeing chakra colours o when I meditate or like a chakra colour as soon as I open my eyes after meditating but I'm guessing this just means my chakras are opening. I know this sounds crazy but does anybody else get these visuals [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 05:58 PM PDT There is a positive side of every problematic situation just find and ignore negative aspects I know it will be complicated but with practice it's easy. And when you will do it, Just by looking at positive side you be automatically happy. But still it requires practice. Once you master this that moment will change your life. As it did mine 😃😃😃😃 have a nice day! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 25 Apr 2021 12:03 AM PDT I just tried meditating today, I've done other spiritual stuff in the past including astral projection but today was the first time I only wanted to try meditating. I saw nothing but white, I didn't think about anything though. I didn't realize it until I remembered I was meditating. Everything was bright white until I opened my eyes. [link] [comments] |

| I feel strong vibration from other people why? Posted: 25 Apr 2021 05:57 AM PDT One day I did meditation for about 20 to 30 minutes in the morning in my holy temple but it was very blissful and deep meditation, I felt very light like there was nothing and I didn't even feel my body anymore, it was like nothing then when I come out of meditation then I felt something was different, I started feeling strong vibrations from some people when they're close or when they touch, it was scary, and when I talk I feel like I'm talking to their souls. From some people I don't feel anything but from some I feel very intense vibration like electric shock which make me sick and I don't feel good. Also my sense if hearing and seeing is increased I think. please explain what is happened. Thanks. [link] [comments] |

| Am I having a spiritual awakening or what? Posted: 24 Apr 2021 08:48 PM PDT So, I got back on the meditation grind after my mini mental breakdown. Just a few minutes again I began my nightly meditation, after about five minutes into it I began to feel like I was floating in space. It was incredible, I don't know how else to describe it. Is this a spiritual awakening or what? I would like to get your guy's opinion on this. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 03:33 PM PDT Hello. I'm a m(26) who recently began mediation and had an intense experience. As a preface I'll say that i live with bpd and severe depression. My doctor recommended that I try to mediate and suggested a few resources. Amongst those he recommended reading the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. I have a very active mind and mediation is something I've failed to understand and I've been extremely close minded towards it until recently. A few nights ago I decided to go to bed early to be well rested and to have an opportunity to begin reading. After smoking a bowl I decided to read the first ten or so pages of "How to Relax" by T.N.H. It guided me through a few breathing exercises and had a few allegorical poems. After about ten minutes of reading I decided to close my eyes while sitting on my bed. Focused on my breath while reciting: "breath In. I am breathing in. Breathe out. I am breathing out" After about ten minutes or so I felt relaxed and decided to lay down and go to sleep. I shut all of my lights off and began to try and sleep. Mind you I wasn't exhausted. Completely conscious and still bouncing a few thoughts around my head. I opened my eyes and decided to look at my stationary clock for the time. After 2 or so minutes I began to see a faint light with my eyes closed. I moved my hand to my face to brush hair away and noticed that I could see the difference in light with my hand in front of my face. I opened my eyes again briefly to look at my clock. Assuming that the faint light from it was making my eyes sensitive. I closed my eyes again and waved my arm in front of my closed eyes. Almost at once, most of the objects in my room, and my arms were somewhat visible with my eyes closed. The shapes of objects in my room were rough and losing form. However my arms appeared in full but covered in a black shadow. I assumed that at the angle I was laying, my eyes were partially open. So I held my eyelids closed with one hand and with the other kept waving and could still see shapes and my arms. A white light appeared in front of me and I reached out to it. It disappeared and turned into a black figure that was shaped vaguely like a human. (This is all in A minute or two window. ) In the past I've been known to have extremely vivid flashing visuals when trying to sleep. Usually stressful or gory imagery (stress related). I was scared and opened my eyes. Immediately I turned to my phone and googled "seeing through my eyelids". At the time I hadn't related it to mediation whatsoever. But every search result was about meditation. I teared up immediately. Didn't know the true power of meditation. I rushed to my living room to tell my brother who of course asked if I was intoxicated or having "sleep paralysis" I have a long history with sleep paralysis but this was nothing like it. I was totally conscious of my mind and body. Nowhere near sleep. Please tell me if you've had a similar experience. I know it sounds out there but I'm recalling it exactly as it happened. Much love [link] [comments] |
| The Day You Started Meditating - A Breakdown of the Science Posted: 25 Apr 2021 05:00 AM PDT You're probably vaguely aware that meditation is meant to be good for you. Maybe a summary of the scientific evidence will give you enough of a kick up the backside to get started yourself (yup, sometimes you even need a kick to sit still). But if you want to really commit, you'll probably have to read this and then find your own reasons... [link] [comments] |
| I experienced the "vibrational state" a couple days ago for her first time. Posted: 24 Apr 2021 06:52 AM PDT for the first time. I was meditating in a Krishna temple while repeating "I am" mindfully and confidently in my mind. I had dropped in and my breathing was deep and slow. Then, all of the sudden my entire body started buzzing and vibrating throughout! My body was absolutely still, and my cells did the vibrating. It was a beautiful and powerful feeling, but in a loving God powerful way. It was as if the vibration testified and confirmed "I am". Seriously one of the best feelings and experiences I've ever had. I haven't studied the stages of meditation yet, is there anything else I should know about this experience? I've seen it mentioned a lot referring to astral projection, but I've never even attempted that. [link] [comments] |

| TM meditation. Not repeating mantra? How to know if doing correctly? Etc Posted: 25 Apr 2021 04:00 AM PDT Hi I have severe anxiety which I'm currently on medication for, sertraline/zoloft. I was browsing the other day when I came across something about Ray Dalio and TM meditation. I looked into it further, am reading the book. I have tried meditating before but the focus on breath thing makes me feel way more anxious. I've done this TM one the past couple of days, yesterday I noticed I had more energy and felt more positive which is amazing. However, I was reading Bob Roth book last night when I read that you're not supposed to just sit and repeat your mantra in your head? Which is what I've been doing. I'm not exactly sure what to actually do? Or if I'm doing it right? Can anyone help me out a bit? Thanks so much :) [link] [comments] |

| Half Lotus or Full Lotus with half of the time spend in the Meditation? Any Tips? Posted: 25 Apr 2021 03:39 AM PDT Hello everyone, so I am doing longer sessions like 45 minutes in Half Lotus and feel pretty comfortable with it and I thought I would take it to next step to the Full Lotus. There were some issues I encountered. First of all flexibility wise I can hold it for a bit like 22 minutes only with my left feet up first in the position and then my right feet over left leg. So I can not really do it when I try to put my right feet in position first and then my left one. I guess flexibility wise I need too stretch more. Aside from that after a while my feet slips from the position. Also I feel like I tense up in the legs more than usual to hold the position. I use some blanket as a cushion btw. . In contrast I feel the half Lotus is pretty comfortable and I can hold the position for longer. Now I wonder which may be more beneficial. Im guessing that the Full Lotus take some practise and time. I was thinking about doing both. So what are your guys take on this? And how did you progress? I for myself do some stretching to open the hips more and more. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2021 03:32 AM PDT Due to some life circumstances I realised I must learn meditation to stay sane and to progress in life . My motovation: 1) dealing with long covid; 2) anxiety and depression as a result of long covid and maybe from weaning my toddler (seeing a doctor), 3) want to become a better parent; 4) want to become better at achieving my goals, better at communicating, listening, helping others; 5) I wish I could just learn how to enjoy little things and stay present. I've started meditation with Insight Timer. So far so good, I am able to stick to it, but I feel like I'll never get there. My mind is so active!! So I'm looking for some experiences from people who where very much fused with their minds, was it long until you noticed some new space emerging where you could feel calm and observe your mind? Any encouragement is welcomed! Thank you for the sense of community! [link] [comments] |
| Hello!! I’m looking for some tips and advice! Posted: 24 Apr 2021 05:27 PM PDT I'm very new to meditation, I've done it here and there in the past with an ex-girlfriend as a way to relax and release. I've been having a hard time with rumination and really bad intrusive thoughts. I want to use my meditation periods at night as a way to process and get though these thoughts without judgement and to try and re-enforce a mantra in my head that'll stick with me! I've been doing well with these thoughts and using mantras up until the quarantine. They just seem louder and way more intrusive! Any tips on how to start meditation with this goal? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2021 03:07 AM PDT hey everyone! i have this condition called paruresis which basically means i have a shy bladder and can't pee when people are around me. doesn't matter if i'm at home or not, my body shuts down as soon as i'm on the toilet. now, in my daily life i hear a lot of stuff like "have you tried exposure therapy?" or "you just pee, it's not that hard. just think differently" or "have you tried changing your thought patterns through cognitive behavior therapy?". i get it, it's a very basic human thing to do, peeing. so, i understand why it's hard for people to really get this problem. but you can understand it sometimes makes me feel like my problem is really dumb, but in reality it's pretty serious and i just want answers :'( this is what happens. there's is a fear of going to the toilet and i can't pee. there are thoughts accompanying that emotion. then there's the physical part which is the tension through my whole body that shuts down the process of peeing. these three things are connected which makes it a complex thingy. i've tried so much exposure, but because there's a physical component it's hard to change your way of thinking and control your body in that way. i'm familiar with ways to let go of emotions and integrate them, different techniques etcetera. i've grown so so much the past year because of that, but the shy bladder is still there. i know it's ok to sit on the toilet longer then others, it's ok if they hear me pee, but it's the tension i can't seem to release.. i feel motivated to do anything that could lead me to healing! maybe there's someone out there with same experiences or someone that knows some alternative healing that could work. so please every tip is welcome (except "you should try exposure therapy" because then you just don't understand this problem :p ) thank you for putting the effort in reading this and maybe giving me some advice! i appreciate you all <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 08:59 PM PDT Hey everyone! I (20M) stopped feeling a couple of years ago, I can't feel pain, happiness, sadness or anything.. If anyone has been there, what meditation techniques would you recommend? Something that makes you feel more grounded, that makes you feel more real if that makes sense. [link] [comments] |
