| Did anyone else notice how mentally distraught they are once the started meditating? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:54 AM PDT So I haven't been "meditating" traditionally lately but I have been practicing a form of mindfulness where when im out and about in my day, usually when driving to work or walking. I try and just watch my thoughts. Not resist them but just be curiously aware. What I noticed fast was just how much anxiety, anger, and depression I have. I'm constantly getting spikes of anxiety, worrying about all the work I have to do, I feel tormented by my clock with the obligations, and I keep ruminating on times I felt wronged just making me angry. This seems to be an almost constant but I don't "notice it" until I try and be mindful. Unfortunately just being aware on its own doesn't fix the problem but I suppose it's a first step. Anybody else had this experience? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 02:51 PM PDT Sorry if this doesn't belong here... Unsure where to post. Months ago I was facing homelessness at the age of 20. I felt anxious however remained calm and trusted I would be okay. Last month I struggled financially and while my mom was afraid and stressed and my friends offered to help, I had utmost confidence that everything would be okay. Which, while not fully gone, my issue is less severe now. I had food poisoning a few weeks ago and felt worse than ever in my life. Yet, despite my family members telling me how severe this is, I remained calm (as well as I could, throwing up every few minutes lol!) It almost feels like apathy to an extent? It isn't that I don't care. I think it's more that, no matter what happens, life goes on. And if it doesn't? If life doesn't go on? Then what difference will it make. Does anybody else share similar 'apathy' or perhaps 'confidence' or 'optimism'? Is this something I should continue to observe? [link] [comments] |
| I feel like meditation has made things worse for me and I don't know how to change it. Posted: 04 Jul 2021 03:06 AM PDT So I've been meditating since the end of January. I've found that I'm increasingly aware of my thought patterns but unfortunately I find it impossible to not judge them since they infuriate me. I am constantly thinking about something and it never stops. I never want to think about any of the things I am thinking about and all the rumination never does me any good. I cannot focus on anything, a film, a book, a song, playing an instrument, going for a walk, even talking to another person I can rarely focus on what they're telling me. No matter what I am doing there is a storyline or some imaginary conversation going on in my head and it frustrates me so much to the point where I am hitting myself whenever I am thinking about something I don't want to because it angers me so much and I just want it to end. I know this is bad but I feel powerless to doing anything else. If I try to bring my attention back to the breath I end up making a storyline out of mindfulness or the breath or start to wonder when this will help me and then before I know it I'm thinking about something stupid again. I wish it would stop. I feel so tortured by my thoughts and like they are all intrusive thoughts that I can't stop. I have no idea how to be okay with my thoughts since they are so incarcerating.

| Successfully finished my first 20-minute meditation and my headache disappeared Posted: 04 Jul 2021 01:46 PM PDT The title says it all. I have been wanting to regularly practise meditation since such a long time. I am feeling so peaceful and relaxed right now which is a big thing for me since I have been feeling extremely anxious about my future for quite some time. I had a bad headache today (mostly because of dehydration). I decided to do meditation after dinner. I put on my favorite dhoop (another form of incense which is short and thicker but usually smells sharper and better than an incense stick), put on a calming meditation music, took deep breaths for 20 minutes and just let myself feel the process. I did not even realize when my headache was gone. I am so excited to practise meditation daily now. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 09:13 PM PDT Can a meditation practice or sitting lead to negative emotions and feelings too. I started Meditating a few months ago and it makes me feel that all the things that I attached value to were actually futile. It makes me feel like my mind is getting naked. Has someone else experienced the Same? [link] [comments] |
| dark imagination while meditating Posted: 04 Jul 2021 11:07 PM PDT Hey, while I meditate I have somewhat of a need to imagine dark stuff, it could even be simple- just seeing a huge wave taking over, white light mixing with black, death, idk. My question is should I let anything flow and do nothing about it? Is it healthy? Perhaps I should imagine how I clean it in the end? Btw I see the green color very vividly and I start to see a little of blue. [link] [comments] |
| Help with beginner's meditation Posted: 04 Jul 2021 10:43 PM PDT Hello! I've always wanted to try meditation. On the few occassions that I have tried I've been too scared or I see something that makes me nervous and I get paranoid. I don't know how to mediate without being afraid or paranoid :( Is there any beginner tips on meditation? Or any advice on how to be less afraid? [link] [comments] |
| I fall asleep during meditation! Posted: 04 Jul 2021 04:29 PM PDT Hello all, I try to do sitting meditations at least onc everyday, and sometimes i fall asleep. I tried coffee before meditation, and it works quite well. However it increases my pulse and i dont like it. I enjoy every minute of the meditation, however during sleep, i feel like most of the benefits are just lost. Does anyone have similar issue like me? And do you have any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Accountability partner anyone?? Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:38 AM PDT Im going to try to meditate every day for the rest of July :) [link] [comments] |
| 120 days in, First Meditation with No Fear! Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:26 AM PDT Just wanted to share, I have had horrendous anxiety and like many of you report, it's kind of surprising how much fear and anger is under the surface of our mental state. I have found I am largely motivated by fear and have been working through cptsd exercises and meditating now for around 120 days. Well.... this morning I did a 10 Minute meditation on sitting with "self" and for the first time I had no feelings arise of fear or anxiety. None. I encountered my mind and found it confident and calm. I am so happy and I want to share with you all that meditation, as you know, is the absolute best medicine for the angst of the human condition. Have a wonderful day everyone! [link] [comments] |
| I realised I might have been meditating this whole time without even realising Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:15 AM PDT Ok maybe not perfectly but I would certainly like to improve the technique. Now and again I like to just sit on the sofa in silence and just enjoy the tranquility without doing a thing. Sometimes my phone can be a distraction though. Obviously I'd have to cut that down. First of all is it possible to meditate whilst just sitting on a sofa alone? Do I really have to go on the floor? (this makes me extremely uncomfortable). Any tips for what I should be doing during meditation time where I'm not focusing on anything in particular and I'm just letting the mind wonder? Should I just let go of all thoughts and that's it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2021 12:30 AM PDT started letting go last year and the benefits have been great,but earlier this year I got stuck with Letting go of anxiety and depression,I've been stuck for about 3months now,and it's sabotaging my relationships,I'm just lethargic,got no energy/I can't concentrate. Most advise says "Keep letting go.",but the pain is unbearable. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 11:55 PM PDT Hello everyone! I've begun practicing TWIM Metta and I'm loving it! I've just finished today's session and I'm wondering if I'm doing it 100% right, usually I don't breath deep and I actually feel like I can concentrate better this way, is this the right way to do this or should I go for deep long breaths? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:47 AM PDT So it was kind of strange, but I kept on yawning during a 20-minutes meditation. After each couple of breaths I yawned, couldn't get a full yawn. So what is this exactly? Does it have to do with oxygen shortage? Or does it indicate something else? And how can I avoid that in future sessions? Because it has really affected my focus. Thank you!

| Difference between Transedental Meditation vs Mindful Meditation vs Vedic Meditation? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 04:48 PM PDT Can anyone tell me? Which one is the best and most effective too? [link] [comments] |
| Which resources do you suggest? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 10:30 PM PDT Hi 👋 all together! Happy to be at this awesome group. I saw already some posts and am really excited to share my experiences with you! I am new to meditation as I have started during covid. I was the most of the time alone, without any single social contact. After doing a bunch of things and researching I thought maybe you have more ideas how I may become better at my routing and which techniques to use. 🧘♂️ So please feel free to share your ideas such as music, techniques, books, etc. Everything what helped you!

| Seriously, can you summarize to me what really is meditation? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 03:49 PM PDT I hear different concepts every time I look for them! Some say that meditation is to control your mind. Others say it serves to find your own self. Others that meditating is to find inner peace. Bro, I'm kinda confused, are you able to explain me that easily? What does the act of meditation is? Thx [link] [comments] |
| How do you come out of meditation? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 09:10 PM PDT I have recently started meditating after 3 rounds Guided breathing by Wim Hof. I usually keep an alarm for 20 mins in my phone to wake me up from meditating. I am usually able to control my thoughts and watch them as it comes but does not know how to come out of it. I usually do it before my office and hence I need to manage the timings. Also do you sometimes sleep off while meditating only to wake yourself up and watch your thoughts again? [link] [comments] |
| Does meditation practice need to be consistently the same practice for it to be effective? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 12:14 PM PDT Hypothetically lets say you were to meditate everyday but on even days you did mindfulness meditation and on odd days you practiced Qi Gong. Or maybe you took up a drawing meditation practice on some other days. Would the act of changing up your practice be harmful to any of the practices themself? Or is it kind of like weight lifting where you need to rest between muscle groups in order to see the results and each meditation serves a different purpose. Reason I ask is because I am interested in trying something like Qigong but I have tried mindfulness meditation in the past and it seems more accessible and simple to start. I am thinking of starting off with mindfulness meditation and then mixing it up with alternate practices like Qi Gong later down the road. I guess I worry that might possible stifle any progress I would have made with MM. [link] [comments] |
| The consequences of benefits of meditation Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:06 PM PDT Meditation makes me generally more conscious and i assume naturally that it makes other people too But the thing is, i've "waken up" and started getting too conscious (idk if it's too conscious for me or for other ppl too and it doesn't matter) And stuff started to happen I started feeling and knowing that i'm not my body, i feel Detached from my body (and that's good right?) No, i feel scared, it doesn't feel normal no more to have a body It ISN'T normal literally everything around me and i feel like i'm in a 360° simulation I feel like this isn't my/our place not this physical world We are bigger/deeper than this And I HATE how NO ONE is actually noticing it around me, so indulged.. I'm Detached from this "reality" Meditation and other experiences i had, have ruined me in the best way possible. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:01 PM PDT Ever since I started my manifestation/meditation journey. I don't seem to find anything fun to do. Like tv shows songs or even anything in general I just can't find anything fun to do everything just seems so boring [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2021 04:05 PM PDT I've been struggling to meditate a lot due to very very bad anxiety and OCD. I've tried every technique I've heard of and can focus briefly but then I always feel like I just get enveloped and suffocated in my own thoughts even WORSE than when I don't meditate. I tried a technique I heard about where you listen to the sounds around you. I could do it for like a minute and then just got swamped up completely in my own negative thought loops and literally couldn't do anything to stop it. The only time I can actually come close to being mindful is when I'm absorbed in an activity I enjoy and my thoughts are occupied by that or when I'm drunk. Any tips? Is meditation just impossible for someone with bad enough anxiety? Are there any unique strategies you have for someone like me? [link] [comments] |
| Do you recommend timing the meditation sessions? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:45 PM PDT I have been meditating for quite a while, but this has been an issue for me, wheter to time the sessions or not [link] [comments] |
