- Notice how there is no need to think much
- “Getting rid of one’s ego is the last resort of infinite egoism! It simply confirms and strengthens the reality of the feeling. But when this feeling of separateness is approached and accepted like any other sensation, it evaporates like the mirage that it is.” - Alan Watts

| Notice how there is no need to think much Posted: 19 Jun 2021 09:46 PM PDT Notice how there is no need to think much How this moment doesn't need you to think that much This noticing itself will relax the mind Normally our mind is hyperactive for future but it forgets that this current moment doesn't need that much thinking How this situation or present moment doesn't need you to think much Notice how this moment is so simple that it don't need you to think much Notice how this moment is so risk free or danger free.. How this situation or moment doesn't need you to think or react much [link] [comments] |

| Scratching itches during meditation Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:42 PM PDT Should I try to remain completely still or should I scratch itchy spots. It feels like there's always some part of me that's always itchy and it becomes more noticeable when I'm trying to ignore it. Should I scratch or not? [link] [comments] |
| What is your meditation method? Posted: 20 Jun 2021 01:49 AM PDT I would just like to hear from a bunch of people in this sub what their method is for meditation. I would like to try out a few different methods and see what works for me. At the moment I have been practicing a focus meditation in which I focus on one thing in particular like my breath or my thoughts or even just whatever happens to capture my attention. How do you practice your meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Existential crisis. My thoughts are not mine?? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 05:32 PM PDT I wish I never knew this. Meditation is changing the way I view myself & my thoughts and I feel like having a panic attack every time I think about this. I hate the fact that my thoughts are not mine. I hate knowing this because now I obsessively think about the way I think, how I think, and it's so frustrating. I already struggle with anxiety/OCD and obsessive thinking is not new to me. I don't know how to go back to how I was before or I guess I can never do that anymore but I don't know how to live normally again knowing that I don't create my own thoughts!! I feel more chaotic than ever and I'm constantly noticing my chaotic mind & I'm seeing how useless most of my thoughts are & This is actually super distracting to me so much more than before. I am never even in the present anymore because I'm too busy thinking about what I'm thinking!! [link] [comments] |
| My thoughts aren't passing like clouds they are staying as if it has a reserved parking spot. HELP! Posted: 19 Jun 2021 08:23 PM PDT To be honest I haven't been taking my meditation seriously. Where and How does one start? Is there a rifgt proper way to do it? [link] [comments] |
| I think this is what meditation is Posted: 20 Jun 2021 03:38 AM PDT It is learning to switch from concentrating on thoughts to the concentration on breath instead. And if thoughts arise then you observe them and switch back to focusing on breath. Is that right? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:20 PM PDT I just found out today that my ex-boyfriend of almost 3 years is interested in & wants to start dating someone else. I'm broken. And I am so fucking angry. I don't know how he could do this so quickly. It was a complicated relationship and we continued to see each other after we broke up, but we finally stopped talking about a month and a half ago and honor the breakup. But, he said that he's still in love with me and that he wouldn't be ready to see me with anyone else. It's started to make me think that the whole relationship wasn't as deep or as intimate as I thought it was. I need help healing. I want to let go because I know that this is what I needed to hear to go ahead and get over him anyways. I know that I'm more than who I was when I was with him. [link] [comments] |

| Help with focusing on the breath (amateur) Posted: 20 Jun 2021 03:37 AM PDT I am new to meditation and I am really enjoying it so far. When I focus on the breath, what do I need to literally think about? What words should be said in my mind? I am currently thinking "In... Out...", But I feel this is too much of a gap and I find my mind wonders too much. On a side note, when managing anxiety in day to day experiences, should I focus on the breath like I do in meditation? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Why do I feel calm when I inhale deeply ? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 03:19 PM PDT So I just had a breakup happen to me out of nowhere. I'm not sure if I'm anxious or anything but when I inhale deeply or breath in deeper I feel far more calmer. Does anyone know why this is ? [link] [comments] |
| I'm not sure if what i do is a kind of meditation or not (i'm wondering if anyone else does this ) Posted: 19 Jun 2021 05:40 PM PDT So when i walk outside i count my steps backward from 10 and repeat, would this be considered meditation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:47 PM PDT Did anyone pursue meditation due to their chronic pain? Does it help at all? Does it distract you more from progressing or learning? Genuinely curious on the amount of daily meditators that experience chronic pain. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:14 PM PDT What book/media do you recommend for meditation? Also how has meditation changed your life? I would like to learn how to meditate [link] [comments] |
| Can reading about meditation be detrimental to the practice? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 09:29 AM PDT I've been meditating for a while now. At first I was really inspired by the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, and Sam Harris. I still read their books from time to time for inspiration and clarification on the path. However, I've noticed that when I make a habit of reading lots of books about meditation, my practice becomes frustrating and hard to sit through. I'll catch myself thinking about how Im probably meditating wrong, how Ram Dass said this or Eckhart said that and that Im clearly not doing those things. I'll notice my brain is clogged with all their words about their experiences and preferred practices and how that should relate to me. I find meditating with this mindset sucks really bad. But when I meditate without reading anything for a week or two, I feel my mind is a lot more clear. My expectations for how my meditation should go has ceased and I'm much more comfortable just noticing what is happening now. Getting into a deeper meditative state becomes a matter of when, rather then how. Have any of you felt this way too? I'm starting to think that not reading and making meditation a completely personal journey with only my intuition to guide me is the way. But I feel like I would be missing out on alot of good info. But also I'm probably overthinking it and I should probably still read but just in moderation, idk bruh [link] [comments] |
| Focusing on my breath is getting more challenging as I progress, how can I help this? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 04:17 PM PDT I started meditation almost one and a half a month ago. My focus fist started building and got really better, but for some reason it started declining and now I feel like I'm just how I was at the beginning. My mind now wanders a lot and I bring my attention back to my breath lesser than I did before. What could be the reason for this decline in performance and how can I make it better? P.S I use headspace and meditate while lying down because of extremely stiff leg muscles that keep me from sitting for extended hours. I also don't fall asleep while meditating in a lying position so I don't think that's what is causing the problem. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:02 PM PDT Hey y'all, I'm looking for a free (or reasonably priced) meditation retreat. Not necessarily silent, cause I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet, but I'm open to really any style of meditation. Please let me know what your favorite one is! Thank you :) [link] [comments] |
| Waking up early with racing thoughts every morning - what is the cause? Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:29 AM PDT I've had sleeping difficulties for years but lately, they appear mostly in the morning, as falling asleep is becoming less and less of a problem. I'm becoming more aware of the causes and patterns because I intensified my meditation practice lately and stopped running away from my thoughts and feelings through work and other distractions. No matter how clear-headed I am when I fall asleep, every morning I wake up early (after 5 or 6 hours of sleep) with my mind going absolutely ballistic. The best way I can describe it is this: it feels like my mind is building momentum when I'm asleep until it gets to a point where it just needs an outlet, and it wakes me up because of it. This means I don't have that easy start of the day, but literally from the second I open my eyes in the morning my mind is already into overdrive mode. I'm not worrying a lot in the morning though, they are just random thoughts. The thoughts are usually so numerous that I literally can't focus on anything and it's very difficult to notice which thoughts are exactly going through my mind. They are always accompanied by a stressful feeling in my body, usually my arms and legs. What I usually did was go out of bed and start doing something to get away from this feeling, but nowadays I try to lie with it and let it pass through. It is however still impossible not to toss and turn like I'm trying to get rid of it. So there's resistance. I'm also particularly grumpy and easily irritated in the morning. My theory is this: I feel like I have a lot of suppressed emotions within me that I'm only now starting to become aware of (but this symptom has been occurring for way longer). For years I have run away from them through partying, women, and work, but now I have decided it is time to sort it out and I am turning inwards instead. I have learned that thoughts get produced by emotions, not the other way around. So the way I see it is that all these thoughts in the morning are due to my suppressed emotions seeking expression. That is, when I enter a certain stage of sleep and I go deeper into my subconscious, these feelings start seeking expression. Then the build-up of this becomes so intense that it just wakes me up, simply because I haven't been able to let them go in waking life. This is my theory, however, and I was wondering whether one of you has ever experienced something similar and could offer me any advice? And if my hunch is correct; what is the best way to deal with it? [link] [comments] |
