| I am quite addicted to stoned meditation. I am not ashamed of it to stop either Posted: 31 Jul 2021 06:02 AM PDT So I meditate two times a day 1) An hour or so after I wake up (7AM on weekdays, varies on weekends) - I have some tea, I start planning my day in my head. Then I'll sit outside my balcony and close my eyes for 10 minutes. I pray and show my gratitude to the universe. I have a job, I have a loving family, I have friends, I have the luxuries of the 21st century, a functioning body and everything I need, I have. I do this sober. 2) Post 5.30pm - I roll a joint, I smoke, I savour the joint and feel the high creeping in. I go sit in my balcony for 30-45 min and just be. In this state, I feel like an ethereal being. I feel "myself" dissolve into the infinite connection of the universe. I feel the void and I feel the light. It is a state of pure bliss. It is by far the favourite part of my day. Unless I'm meeting a good friend or going out travelling or something. But the pandemic has sealed this habit and I don't like going without it. I can feel the behaviour of an addict and adhering to this pattern. I typically never smoke than one small joint a day, even on weekends. I'll smoke with a friend but I have increasingly been shying away from social smoking and loving only meditation smoking. But god damn I love the feeling. I don't even want to stop because of how deep I can go during my meditation. What do you think? Does anyone else do this too? [link] [comments] | ||
| No longer uncomfortable with silence Posted: 31 Jul 2021 07:02 PM PDT I've only been meditating for about a month now after my therapist recommended I give it a try when my usual tools just weren't keeping me mentally healthy. While I still have so much to learn I've gained more than I ever thought possible. Tonight it hit me that for the first time ever I don't feel the need to have the TV on or to have music playing or to have someone in the room with me. I didn't realize how completely uncomfortable I was with silence until now, when I'm suddenly very content to sit quietly in my room even when not actively meditating. I'm sure there are some threads to pull and things to explore there, but for now I'm just content to enjoy this gift. [link] [comments] | ||
| Need advice on Negative thought loops Posted: 31 Jul 2021 07:42 PM PDT I have the same self loathing and depressive thoughts that go on repeat constantly in my head. If I try to get rid of them they only amplify. If I try and watch them the emotions become too strong. If I ignore them they get louder. What do I do? [link] [comments] | ||

| I became TALKATIVE after longer mantra meditations? Why Posted: 31 Jul 2021 02:06 PM PDT I increased the dosage of my mantra meditations. I do mantras and i really get extreme focus from it. Like i can focus on things way more than any type of meditation. My focus is lazer like now! My only concern that i became very open and talkative in a negative way. Where i sometimes can't resist indulging in overtalking. Like i always say things i regret now? Why? Why my talkativity and honesty like doubled after i increased the dosage. [link] [comments] | ||
| Anyone here has GERD and it makes breathing uncomfortable? Posted: 31 Jul 2021 10:48 PM PDT So as the title says, has anyone experienced mild breathing discomfort which worsen the longer you meditate ? Also is there a good herb to help breathing ? I have tried cocoa and tea and i believe that they're helping but are there other herbs ? Thanks in advance :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Odd sensation while meditating. Posted: 01 Aug 2021 01:58 AM PDT Im wondering if anyone has shared my experience. As a young kid, I would instinctively do this meditation thing where I would sit criss cross and look down at my open palms for a long time, focus intently and would repeatedly ask myself in my head, "who is thinking this thought right now?" who is "mexinator" really?" Who am I? and after a long time of concentrating on my existence, for a brief second, I would get this profound sensation that seemed to radiate from my head down my spine, was quite euphoric and it was a profound moment where it seemed that for a second, I was given a glimpse of my true self. The real you. You feel your true self existing inside your body. Almost an out of body experience but just for a second or two. I remember I would have to really maintain focus on what I was asking myself in-order to build up to the feeling. If I broke concentration for a second, I couldnt get to the feeling and would have to build up. It was like an intuition to do it. I don't know why or how I started this practice, but I enjoyed the sensation alot and would chase after it but It slowly became increasingly difficult to attain that "enlightened moment" and I did it less and less until I stopped altogether. I meditate regularly but I haven't been able to achieve it any longer. Has anyone else experienced something like this or know what it could be? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 01:06 AM PDT I have been meditating in siddhassana pose and I'm fairly new practicing this pose and after 10 minutes I get burning sensation and small pain in legs which makes meditation uncomfortable after 10 min! any suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||
| “The totality of one’s experience can become the field of contemplation” Posted: 01 Aug 2021 12:47 AM PDT I'm reading waking up by Sam Harris and this quote from the book is probably the best thing I've read. Such a brilliant and beautiful way to describe meditation. [link] [comments] | ||
| That's dedicated for mind observers. Posted: 31 Jul 2021 10:18 AM PDT There is no time, my friends, there is no time in wisdom. Time means collecting, wisdom lets go in any tiniest period of time. Drop, drop, drop. Empty your burdens. That's forgetting which is food of wise. That's why river has no time in flow. O my wisdom seeker friends, you should decide do you want to heal or think? I say heal first, then think, that's right thinking. Ask questions, let go answering. Just touch and let go for million times in a nano second. Water can't cling, because water knows no time. That's timelessness in flow. Water touches stones and let them go. You touch memories and let go. [link] [comments] | ||

| Secular chants/mantras for meditation to help aid sleep? Posted: 01 Aug 2021 12:26 AM PDT Hi all, I'm looking for mantras/chants that I can use which are *not* based in any kind of formal religion or religious practice but can be used before bed or when my anxiety gets bad to help me get a better nights sleep. I fully understand that most meditation comes from religious movements, however adopting chants from Buddhism and the like when I don't subscribe to those beliefs feels like misappropriation to me. I thought I'd found a good chant in "Lumen de Lumine", then my head translated it and I realised that it comes from (or at least echos) the profession of faith in the Catholic church which for various reasons is not something I want to have my meditation practice associated with. I've tried multiple forms of meditation over the years and the best form for me is to sit in stillness listening to music, and if there is a chant I can add at the same time then that's even better. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you have :) [link] [comments] | ||
| I regret not doing this earlier. Posted: 31 Jul 2021 09:34 AM PDT The first time I discovered meditation was when I was 14. I was going through some horrible bullying, and had developed severe anxiety and anxiety-induced digestion issues. I tried a few sessions, but my previous assumptions about meditation made it hard and uncomfortable. Now, at 17, I incorporated this habit as a part of my daily routine. I started with ten minutes a day, and gradually increased to forty minutes. I saw unbelievable changes in just one month. It's one thing to hear about the benefits of meditation, and entirely something else to actually experience them. I experienced various changes in myself—each equally important and deserving a paragraph of their own—but I'm only going to discuss the most impactful one to keep it brief. My relationship with boredom and silence changed. Nowadays people rarely have a chance to be bored—you feel a (normal and healthy) gap between your schedule, and you immediately open up YouTube or Reddit. You start scrolling through content that you don't even care about, just to avoid being alone with your thoughts. Meditation slowly changed this mindset for me. Silence—something that used to mean "hell" to me—became a time for relaxing and simply enjoying the moment. My screen-on time decreased from 42 hours a week (yikes!) to 17.5 hours. Meditation can have a ripple effect in your life. If you are a beginner and currently treat meditation like Aspirin (like I did), try to look for how this practice is already changing your life. At the same time, try to figure out what areas of your life could be improved in the future, and take an active stance towards making that change happen. You won't regret it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 03:05 PM PDT advice for how to do this, potentially aided with meditation, would really help. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 11:17 PM PDT I've always been told about the benefits of meditation and i've tried meditating but i just don't understand it. What does it mean to meditate? It's like everybody is doing something different to me. I sit in silence and don't think about anything and nothing ever comes of it? What am i doing wrong. [link] [comments] | ||
| What are your thoughts on the appropriation of meditation by corporate self-improvement methods? Posted: 31 Jul 2021 06:03 AM PDT Meditation has hit the main stream in the last few years and has definitely been given a boost by people's struggles during the pandemic and this is, of course, a good thing. However, I'm becoming increasingly concerned that meditation is now being used to promote the same corny, corporate, manipulative, quasi-macho self-improvement crap that filled everyone's bookshelves in the 80's and 90's. What do you guys think? Am I just unnecessarily gatekeeping? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 12:56 PM PDT Drop memories like sky drops rain. Not only it will soften soil, but also it will wet your soul. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 08:06 PM PDT Seems like there is never a good time. In the morning I take my coffee and work out (and the caffeine makes me very impatient) then it's work. When I come home I am pretty mentally exhausted and want to relax but by 7PM the family all comes home and it's loud. Seems like there's always a problem. [link] [comments] | ||

| I think I'm not meditating properly... (Odd problem) Posted: 31 Jul 2021 01:48 PM PDT Hello. I needed to make a post of my problem, as I didn't find nothing about it on the Internet. I've been trying to fix or ignore it for two years, but it just disencouraged me to practice meditation. I began to start meditation months ago before the problem appeared. I used to focus on my breathing, and specially my belly and chest going up and down, no more. It used to relax me. But then, one day this changed forever. Whenever I try to perform this kind of meditation, my mind tend to focus on a point from some part of my belly (usually on my left side), and sometimes it focuses on two or three separated points. I see that sometimes these points can move constantly and form patterns, shapes and curves, doing something like a doodle. When I try to focus on my chest, my mind pays more attention to one lung than the other (again, it tends to focus more on the left lung), and also my mind creates again those imaginary points and move them randomly. I find impossible to focus on all my belly / chest or to only concentrate in the middle. Of course, I can move to another type of meditation, but I used to love this one. I tried to accept the feeling and stop considerating this event as a problem, but it's not calming to see those points wandering constantly around my stomach, I feel uncomfortable. Should I give up and move to another sort of meditation, or still trying to accept it and letting it be? [link] [comments] | ||
| Is it normal to cry during meditation? Posted: 31 Jul 2021 09:05 AM PDT Yesterday I was having a very anxiety-filled day after an unfortunate talk with my ex. I decided to follow a guided meditation to try and calm myself down and find some clarity. During the meditation, it said something along the lines of visualizing yourself in a place that brings you peace, bringing as much detail to it as possible in your mind. I brought myself back to a camping trip by the ocean I went on with my family when I was around twelve years old. Somehow, I'm not sure how; but I felt a huge emotional release which has never happened to me during meditation before. I started crying, not even because I was sad, just... it happened, and I couldn't control it. I chose to let it out instead of trying to stop myself. Afterwards, I felt a sense of clarity that I've never felt before. But at the same time, I was left with this lingering feeling of melancholy. I'm not quite sure what happened honestly, or if this was something positive. Has this happened to anyone else? I've been meditating off-and-on for the last couple years but its only in the last three months or so I've been diving deeper and meditating more regularly and consistently. [link] [comments] |
