| Meditation is helping me recover from a 30-year-long eating disorder Posted: 29 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT I have suffered from disordered eating since I was a pre-teen. I've tried countless ways to heal (out-patient treatment, therapy, medication, self-help, nutritionists and dietitians, 12-step programs, etc, etc, ad nauseam), but nothing brought long-term recovery. Even during periods of cessation, I always had a sensation of white-knuckling it, terrified of my next inevitable relapse. I started practicing mindfulness meditation about a month ago, and I am cautiously optimistic that it may actually, finally be the answer. Dismissing thoughts in meditation is perfectly analogous to dismissing BED urges. Strengthening this "muscle" in meditation has allowed me to see and deal with urges in a new way—and I bet it could help with other addictions as well. I'm amazed that something this simple (and FREE!) is finally providing relief after so many years of despair. Beyond grateful. Edit: thanks for the awards! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 May 2021 02:35 AM PDT 'Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be somewhere else' . Nothing in this world comes without a price. Persistent efforts and willingness to take action will always bear its fruits. Enjoy every moment without a pause. Live, love and cherish moments, because in the end all that stays with us are these beautiful memories. [link] [comments] |
| How To Avoid Distractions While Meditating? Posted: 30 May 2021 01:32 AM PDT Here is a beautiful technique i use. Tell your mind that for the next 20 minutes when you are going to meditate, you are going to concentrate on improving the intensity of your brain power. You are going to meditate on your own life force and you are not going away anywhere you are going to be right here. Then you are going to finish this meditation and assure your mind that you are going to listen your mind and solve all its problems. And don't forget to keep up with your promise after you finish the meditation. Why are these thoughts are coming and disturbing you. Because you have not attended to these thoughts the more you attend to your thoughts the mind will relax mind is just like a child it will put a tantrum when it knows that you are not willing to give it an attention. When you give it proper attention, adequate attention and when you keep up with your promises mind is always relaxed because it knows you are not going to go away anywhere even when you sit and meditate it will co-operate with you. So start requesting for cooperation from your mind. After the meditation, attend to all the needs of your mind, sort out whatever the mind wants. Sort it out and make sure that the mind is always given necessary energy and attention and time from you to quietly listen. Don't lecture your mind. Certain listen to the mind I've always found that whenever I listen to the mind. Whenever I sat down and I am going to listen to you, I am going to start taking notes and I am ready now and the mind is always cooperated with me it's a beautiful journey which I sure you will experience if only you give yourself a chance to sit down listen to your mind . Be blessed by the devine. [link] [comments] |
| The Free, Self-Guided and Simple Meditation Practice That Will Improve Your Meditation Practice Posted: 29 May 2021 11:50 PM PDT Over the last twenty years I've developed a practice that is the absolute simplest. It's perfect for beginners even if it's just the first destination on their journey. It has mental and physical impacts that I feel would benefit and compliment any practice in one way or the other. It's entire free, first and final instruction can be read right through in less than two minutes. It's even based on the old original mantra that back in the late '60s we boomerfolk [sadly?] learned as "om". I've been exploring meditation in isolation for the last twenty years so the popular trends are all new to me. This practice is the diametric opposite to those that are rapid breathing-based, so initially I was very negative towards them. Now that I've learned more about them and met people who are practitioners, I feel quite different. I do believe that while they certainly have plenty to offer, their practitioners would benefit mentally from this slow-breathing based, more meditative practice. Follow the first suggestion so you can FEEL how it works before you KNOW how it works, and don't let yourself be put off by the simplicity, especially of the first two of the [only] three steps.

| Difficulty meditating continuesly. Posted: 29 May 2021 10:53 PM PDT Hey guys, I am just trying to get back on track, but i am really unable to put myself to meditate everyday, even tho it has an amazing result in my life I still.. Stop doing it, i dont know why I can't put myself to do it, what is my lack of motivation, or perhaps I have a lot of distractions around me that take up my attention and energy? I really don't know why I can't put myself to it. I just can't find the motivation, even after seeing the good results. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2021 08:26 PM PDT Hey everyone, I was just meditating under a covered deck in the rain at night, trying to focus on the sound of the raindrops hitting the metal roof and surrounding patio. As I drew myself to this sole sound, I began to briefly smell the rain as well as pungent mud, and a vivid image of me running in the rain appeared in front of me (I'm a cross country runner). I immediately felt as if I was running in the rain with my teammates on a muddy trail at the one local park we frequent. It was so real--even my legs and breath tensed up as if I was running! Tears started to come to eyes (this was my last season running with these boys) and then the image slowly trickled as my focus returned to the pounding rain drops. Has something like this happened to any of you? Does mindful meditation ever trigger memories so lucidly? [link] [comments] |
| What type of meditation should I do? Posted: 29 May 2021 08:21 PM PDT I'm looking for a mediation technique that can be used to change things, such as open your third eye or get you into the first Jhana. I don't quite need one to deal with anxiety or stress, I find I don't have much of either. I have tried concentration meditation for a while with bad results, I was trying to focus on the feeling of my breath on the tip of my nose but I could never feel it. With all of this in mind what should I do? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2021 06:07 AM PDT As I meditate more, I've noticed there's a bridge between living through your mind and being immersed in life. I play video games so this feeling of immersion is familiar, we all lived that way as kids too, but in my adult life it's been awile since I've felt this way. I notice going back and forth between living through my mind and really living. I'm guessing that with more meditation you can immerse deeper. I'd love to hear thoughts, tips, opinions about this from more experienced people :) [link] [comments] |

| Did you guys feel the same when starting out? Posted: 29 May 2021 07:23 AM PDT So I just started meditating a little while ago and have about 21 sessions under my belt but I have a problem where I just can't stop my brain from chasing thoughts. In a way this is how it normally goes... "Alright breath in, breath out." "Ah this is nice" Subconscious: "bro remember when you embarrassed yourself 2 years ago?" Me: "bruh" And that normally happens every 2-3 minutes where random ideas pop up that I can't ignore. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 29 May 2021 11:59 PM PDT My friend claims that he had his Kundalini awakening and drugs like marijuana and magic mushroom doesn't have any effect on him a bit ,I just want to know truth of because I am amazed by his statement [link] [comments] |
| How to maintain All Day Awareness? Posted: 29 May 2021 01:09 PM PDT I'm trying to take my practice off the cushion by practicing an all day mindful awareness of whatever is happening. But supposedly you have to notice every single thing that is happening and that seems a little overwhelming. Could i simply focus on the sensations of breathing instead of all sensory input at once? Any tips on how to remember to become aware during the day are also welcome! [link] [comments] |
| Sacral chakra? TW sexual trauma arising Posted: 29 May 2021 10:48 PM PDT I believe I may have PTSD from sexual assaults or at least am pretty severely traumatized and it has affected my life in many ways. I have been interested in meditation for a few years and kind of practice on-off I find a struggle a lot more with meditating sometimes when the trauma feels more present in my brain. I start to feel tingling in my genitals and start to get a fight-flight feeling when I try to close my eyes and calm down. I feel like I need to touch myself to make it go away and to give myself some sensory stimulation I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure if it is related to my trauma or if it is normal to feel a lot of energy in the genitals (sacral chakra?). This has been disturbing my recent meditations and making it very difficult :/ If anyone has any similar experience please let me know, or what I could do to work past it. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| For those who can't seem to enter into a "meditative state" Posted: 29 May 2021 09:46 AM PDT Make it your goal to experience this current state in it's fullest. Even if you feel like your session is going badly (racing thoughts, falling asleep) and you're not able to experience this moment with your full attention, that is still something that you should and want to experience fully. Know that these are not necessarily obstacles to meditation, but just one more series of sensations to try to be aware of. Make these so called obstacles/hindrances your new meditation object. Place your attention on them. So instead of trying hard to experience a state of no-mind, try your best to fully experience your current state. [link] [comments] |
| Took 2 Reactine pills. They are supposed to be 1 every 24hrs. Is this bad or fine? Posted: 29 May 2021 10:04 PM PDT Just wondering if I should be aware of any side effects of taking a double dose by accident. Thanks!! [link] [comments] |
| Give yourself permission to fail - its not failure that causes suffering, it’s how you view it Posted: 29 May 2021 11:06 AM PDT A lot of the time we're not fully aware of our fear of failure and how it influences our choices. We can feel paralysed, overwhelmed and unable to make new choices. This can lead to self criticism and depression. What drives our fear of failure? We can get overly attached to the outcome of what we're working on. Taking meditation as an example, many people don't start meditation because their mind is too busy or they couldn't focus for a period of time. In other words, what if I try and fail? But in meditation its helpful not to get attached to achieving a particular state, we simply enjoy the experience of sitting and breathing for what it is, and the same principle can be applied to anything else. So when we start a new project, rather than imagining everything we have to do to get to the end, once we've made a quick plan we can focus on what we're doing in the present moment. Lets say we're doing a couch to 5k - we don't have to wonder when we're struggling whether we'll ever be able to complete 5k. We can start off by enjoying a brisk walk and the feeling of walking. We can then enjoy the feeling of a very slow jog, enjoying our breath, the feeling of our feet on our ground. You don't have to be great at it - the idea of being great is a huge barrier to starting anything. Just experience and enjoy the feeling of being outside and exercising. We can also take a step back and notice the thoughts and feelings we're having when we struggle a little. We can acknowledge our fear of failure, our fear of judgement, our fear of embarrassment and give ourselves permission to feel anxious. We can welcome back our old friend fear, let him sit next to us for a while, make him a cup of tea, listen for a while and watch as he leaves, as he always does. Then we return - not to the outcome in the future, not to some masterplan but to when and where you are now. The meditation, the run, the project. And at some point we will fail at something and that's OK. Everyone fails, the only way you can avoid failure is by never doing anything. When we fail its an opportunity for us to learn, grow and live a happier life. We don't have to hide it or shut it out. It isn't the failure that causes us suffering, it's the shame that leads us to criticise ourselves. When we choose to smile to our failure, we can start to let go of the shame that we feel from failure and begin to see failure as something valuable in building a happy life for ourselves. As Thich Nhat Hanh says - no mud, no lotus. [link] [comments] |

| Help me understand "gratitude" better ? Posted: 29 May 2021 07:58 AM PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CbI0WOcUGo How am I supposed to be grateful for not experiencing unlikely circumtances ? Being grateful for not being caught in a warzone, not being blind and other unlikely circumstances is a difficult practice because these things are exactly that : unlikely. It usually doesn't cross one's mind to be grateful for something that is considered the "norm". It kind of reminds of someone telling a depressed person to be grateful for not being a starving child in Africa. Reminding somebody that other people are worse off isn't going to do anything for his depression. The second concern is : Does gratitude hinder ambition ? A lot of driven people seem to get their ambition from wanting to better themselves. Another example. Some western guy has a diffcult and tumultous life. He has no supporting family. He realizes that for this reason all his peers advance much faster than him. He recognizes all the advantages that having a supporting family brings. He's constantly reminded of this in daily life and he's constantly reminded of his "low" status that is a result of growing up with bad circumstances. How is one supposed to develop gratitude in this context ? Telling people to be grateful, telling them that you only live once and should make the most of it, telling people to not take life seriously - if it were so easy , why are people still depressed ?
