| Posted: 20 May 2021 05:48 AM PDT I think a big part of it has to do with being detached from outcomes and also letting go of trying to control life. When you give you're attached to outcomes and are trying to control life you are in a state of tension, you're not in the present moment and what I've noticed is when people don't lie in tune with the present moment life tends to bring all kinds of challenges to them to help them wake up. When you expect things from life and from people, you generally don't get what you want, and even when you do those things never make you happy for long. Actually they never make you happy at all, they just seem to, that's why that happiness never lasts. I used to live like this and I was miserable. Since I stopped trying to control life and imposing my will on it it's almost as if life has been taking care of itself without me doing much. This doesn't mean that I always get what I want, in fact, I've come to realise that desire is one of the main reasons people try to control life and also why they suffer, because life cannot be controlled. Since I started meditating I've started letting go of my desires and now those things that I so desperately wanted in the past are now coming to me but now I'm not dependent on them for my happiness, even though I still appreciate them. The most recent example of this is a girl who came across one of my songs on reddit. She reached out to me wanting to collab and we made a song together called 'Growing Up' and she even made this video for it which is pretty cool. I will say though that while I notice that things are starting to work out by themselves, I also notice that the ego wants to jump in and take credit for it, and if one is not careful they are likely to become identified with the ego again, which leads to suffering. So while things have been falling into place by themselves, I also remain aware that I don't get identified with the ego so that I don't take credit for what is happening. Instead, I just watch it happen without holding on to it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 06:05 PM PDT Hello Experts, I have heard that when you are deep in meditation, you lose track of time and awareness. How is it different from being asleep? How do you know if you are deep in meditation and not asleep? [link] [comments] |
| Remaining conscious through the feeling of falling asleep Posted: 21 May 2021 12:32 AM PDT The last couple of sessions when I was almost falling asleep, I was able to tell myself 'you're falling asleep' and snap out of it and continue my practice. The feeling of falling asleep is so bizarre! It's like a sensation of falling, sort of like jerk feeling, and then warm relaxing waves throughout the body. I never remained conscious enough to fully register and remember the feeling and sensations of falling asleep. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 12:13 AM PDT Since I have started meditation I find myself getting extremely anxious about talking to others and go over the conversation in my head so many times and just fear if the future ECT does this go away? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 04:08 PM PDT I'm not an expert but we all can practice meditation by simply tuning into the present moment. It can be done by taking deep breath in the following rhythm- inhalation for count 4, hold for count 2, exhale for count 8 and hold for 2. Every count can be marked as equivalent to one sec each. Share your thoughts if you implement the technique and how it feels. Do maximum of 5 cycles at one time. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 02:26 AM PDT Have you ever had this condition as a child where you are having fun and all of a sudden a memory you have never had, you remembered suddenly without asking, when someone is talking you hear voices from that memory even that someone is saying something else entirely. then after having fun, you have a headache and your mood is in shock and you just want to sleep. This happen every year of your life for only a week. But every single year... [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 21 May 2021 01:48 AM PDT I made a simple breathing bubble for the Mac menubar, to remind me to stay present throughout the day. If theres enough interest, I'll package it up and make it available for free download? Gif of it in action: https://imgur.com/gallery/B1e3fGX Is this something people would be interested in?

| Social anxiety, not knowing who you are Posted: 20 May 2021 04:54 PM PDT I'm looking for advice from someone who has experienced these things. Does it get better? How much does meditation help? Can you find out who you are? Can social anxiety cease to exist? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 08:25 PM PDT Hey everybody!! How do you meditate when you are having allergies and can't breathe with your nose? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 05:59 PM PDT During many of my meditation sessions I reach what I can best describe as a "tipping point" where I sometimes struggle to let go. It feels like i'm about to break through or fall through something and then I sort of come back. Idk if that makes any sense. Any input as to what this is/have you experienced anything similar?

| Posted: 20 May 2021 11:37 PM PDT For the last couple of weeks, i tried to mediate using guided meditation but i cant focus on her voice, i keep having thoughts about my internship, stuff i want to do for my hobby, my fight with my dad, my aunt is going to die, crypro currency (this one really gets me, EVERYONE i know is talking about it) , fear of missing out or making a mistake with crypto. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 12:15 PM PDT I've been angry at everything and no I don't ever meditate. I simply can't do it. I've asked before how can I do it and nobody have ever gave me a reason. But besides that this anger that has built within me is making me miserable. I want love so bad and not getting nun. I want things to go right and nothing is . Every minute of my life don't go accordingly. I've had a positive attitude tho. I just kept saying it's alright, maybe soon, if it don't happen at least I got me. But I've been taking my anger out which I didn't know I had on things I shouldn't be. A simple person can say something and I attack. I don't want to be angry it's taking a lot of energy out of me. Meditation makes me angry too. I'm so frustrated I want to die and I haven't been suicidal in a minute. I am so tired guys. Idc if people look at me wrong because I'm a man and I'm supposed to suck my feelings in but at some point it has to come out. Yes I know your reading this and you think I'm horrible and playing victim... bye god loves me [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 11:26 PM PDT Hello fellow meditators, I've been meditating for a year now, nothing heavy, just 3-5 times a week, 10-20 minutes per day type of thing. It helps me with being aware of my thoughts and feelings, and keeps me grounded. Although I am enjoying the process and it's an integral part of my life now, it still feels like nothing more than a practical tool that adds a bit of colour but nothing of great significance to my life. My question is, is this normal or am I getting bored with it a bit? Is meditation in most cases nothing more than that? Should I be wanting something extra, am I expecting too much? What else is there is I guess what I am asking. Can you please share your experiences and give me some advice? [link] [comments] |
| (Asking about Your) Thoughts on Hitomi Mochizuki Posted: 20 May 2021 07:17 PM PDT I notice a growing number of YouTubers these days seem to have a spiritual bent to their content. In particular, my partner has been watching a lot of Hitomi Mochizuki's videos lately. I'm curious how others in this sub perceive her take on spirituality and if there is anything substantial to be gleaned from watching her videos. Especially if you consider yourself to be spiritually advanced, in the process of enlightening or in any other similar context. I'm not looking to bash her in any way, even if some of us may happen to perceive her in any sort of negative light—she is another human on her journey as we all are. Besides there are other forums for that. Rather is there any specific indicators that you notice which influence your thoughts on her spiritual journey; if watching her videos are conducive to your own growth; opinions on broadcasting spirituality in such a way, and the like. I have my own perspective on it though I have not watched that much of her content myself, perhaps not giving her the full extent of context that she deserves. I'm aware Hitomi doesn't meditate necessarily but is a yoga practitioner among other spiritual habits. From my perspective, meditation is just one of many tools for growth. Though I do apologize in advance if this would be the wrong thread to post in. Thanks y'all, and cheers! [link] [comments] |
| The effects of THC on meditation Posted: 20 May 2021 10:28 AM PDT My experience with trying to meditate while high has been both negative and positive. It is actually the closest I've actually gotten to being fully present, which in turn has given me motivation to continue to meditate because I feel like I've caught glimpses of what could be possible. On the other hand these moments only last a couple seconds and my mind wandering is like 3x normal so I just immediately get lost again. Can anyone else share their experiences? I am curious if there is anything to explore here. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 10:20 PM PDT Do you guys have any recommendations for meditation cushions? These days I like to sit for 45 min in lotus position but with some support so my knees are a bit lower than my hips. Thank you ☺️ [link] [comments] |

| >>>Overwhelming Beauty and Rapture Over a Breakfast Sandwich Posted: 20 May 2021 12:45 PM PDT I've been meditating pretty intensely for the past couple months, for at least 1.5 to 2 hrs a day with different techniques. Last night I did Vipassana for about 2 hours, Walking Meditation for about 1 hour, and Loving Kindness Meditation for about 30 minutes--all in a kind of dark sensory deprivation room with no lights or sounds. It goes without saying that I left meditation in a very altered state. I then went to bed directly thereafter and woke up in the same state. Later, everything seemed pretty mellow until I sat at the breakfast table with my wife, when I was overcome with emotion. The sunlight become very intense and a rapturous joy rose up in me that was so strong that I began to weep in front of her. She thought there was something wrong, since she's only seen me cry about three times in our 12 year relationship. I couldn't even focus on her words, or say anything, because the beauty of forms and the pleasure of my joy was overwhelming, near orgasmic. I felt weak like I couldn't pick things up or form coherent sentences. It lasted for about an hour, uninterrupted, and then diminished as I began working. My wife probably thought I was crazy or had a stroke or something. Have you ever experienced anything like this, or have knowledge of what this is? [link] [comments] |
| Mindless daydreaming visualization is more vivid than active, meditative visualization Posted: 20 May 2021 08:37 PM PDT Anyone else have this problem. When I snap out of a daydream, I realize how vivid the images are. But when I recently tried a couple visualization techniques during meditation, I found it's very difficult to conjure even a faint image. Anyone know why this is? Am I just trying too hard, or not hard enough? What has helped you improve your visualizations? Edit: Please don't bring in your psuedo-enlightened views and preferences. I'm just asking for tips. "Fish prefer water. I am a fish" doesn't help. [link] [comments] |
