One of the best ways to meditate is to gently become aware of your breathing. Just become aware of it. When your mind wanders just gently bring your attention back to becoming aware of your breathing again. Don't judge how well you did. Or whether it is "working". You always did well. And it always works. If thoughts or feelings arise and you lose conscious awareness of your breathing, just gently and without judgement bring your attention/awareness back to your breathing.

I meditated 30 mins daily for 2 months a year ago and it REALLY worked for me. Since then I've found it much easier to deal with stress and difficult people, I gave up on bad habits, I'm less needy/more independent, I'm much more compassionate, a lot less selfish and FAR more altruistic than I used to be and best of all I've had a lot more spiritual experiences. As for the meditation itself, wow, I saw things I never knew existed. Meditation is the gift you never knew you had, give it a chance.

I have an “irreversible” movement disorder from a bad car accident and meditation is shredding the disease down to nothing. I used to struggle to walk, now I run with bliss! Even deadlifted 315 lbs recently! I cannot use my body the way it used to work but that doesn’t seem to matter. Meditation has disabled the fear center and disabled my seizure like tremor. Its opened my mind up to all sorts of new ways to move. I don’t know that I’ll ever feel the same as I used to but I feel 100x better already!

I have been doing a special kind of meditation called the Isha kriya for 3 months, 20 mins a day It consists of breathing normally whilst focusing your attention on the third eye region (pineal gland region/in between the eyebrows), humming certain sounds and mentally repeating certain words as you breath in and out...All by sitting in the lotus pose with your spine errect. While meditating, I could literally feel certain parts of my brain tingling, mostly the centre of the eye brows and the left prefrontal lobe. My stress and anxiety levels dropped...I was more focused on the present moment and was generally calmer and happier...The improvement was undeniable. The issue however, was that now that I've stopped this practice, I've noticed some deterioration as regards to my overall stress and anxiety levels. Scientific tests have shown that after a certain number of hours and days of meditative practice, your brain's structure changes...Gray matter in certain parts of the brain, particularly those responsible for learning, memorizing, decision making, compassion and the regulation of emotions, gets denser. What I'd like to know is whether those physiological and structural changes persist and become permanent as you stop the meditative practice (after 3 months of practice, 30 mins a day) Does anyone know the answer?

@conceptodaf6 жыл бұрын
I don't know what kind of technique you use to meditate, but in some cases it's a trial and error process. There are those who meditate on their own (like me), those who attend meditation groups, and those who listen to guided meditations. But in this last example, you could be overloaded with random thoughts: "Did I disable the automatic reproduction? Is the sound very loud?" etc etc, which ends up becoming a negative stimulus that takes you out of the right state of meditation. In addition, in many guided meditations they use visualization as a vehicle, which is wrong for someone who's just beginning (besides, they're different things). Just find your own way, the one that best suits you. If you suffer from chronic stress or from anxiety syndrome, you must understand that they involve a conscientious task in which you must reeducate yourself, in many aspects, and learning to relax is one of them (I mention this one in particular because it's a requirement to meditate). I think you don't like it because *maybe* you had created a structure of preconceptions around this, but you must evade them. Besides, it's a slap in the anxiety's face and it's quite expected that you have some inner resistance to do it. Meditation simply "is", don't think of it, don't try to rationalize it. Just be there -present-, do what you're supposed to and let yourself be. Sometimes we must force ourselves to do what is good for us, we like it or not, because only through experience can we learn to appreciate it. I believe that once you get into that special state and begin to really feel its benefits, then you'll begin to like it and you'll do it with greater enthusiasm. It takes time and patience, but you can do it! And please, don't feel alone or frustrated, we were all in that same place. Like everything new, you should give yourself time to explore it at your own pace :) And I'm sorry, english isn't my native language and it's pretty rusty.

Video Summary: 1.Stress from environment (in terms of finance, friends family and work) is always there. 2.When you meditate your neuronal network changes which results in growth of frontal cortex or Neo brain which increases consciousness, compassion, awareness and distinction between right and wrong. This is called neuronal restructuring mediated by neuroplasticity (ability of neuronal networks to rewire). 3.When you don't meditate you reflexly respond to stress like animals (rats) do with fear anxiety stress and restlessness. In these individuals neuroplasticty is increase in size of fight or flight primitive subconscious brain namely amygdala. Amygdala volume increases. 4. Even when stressors go amygdala remain large in size, this shows brain has been rewired permanently, (until of course new stimulus like meditation undoes the previous damage). 5. Meditate more everyday to fight reflex stress generated emotional responses like anger greed despair anxiety and depression, replaced by compassion, kindness and awareness. Our reflex natures are revelatory signatures of our past experiences.

A common misconception is that meditation "clears your thoughts". In mindfulness meditation, which is what this woman is speaking about, the instruction is to *pay attention* to anything that occurs in the moment. Rather than chasing thoughts away, in mindfulness you acknowledge them and then let them go and return to the point of focus, like the breath. You are never in any way in a trance. Quite the opposite, you are more fully awake and aware of the present moment, not "switching it off".

Very informative! I have been meditating for years and have heard this many times. Interesting to hear it from a neuroscientist.

Excellent presentation and key to attracting non-meditators to the power and benefits of mindful meditation. Sara is honest about her resistance to meditation and other researchers as well, but instrument based analysis illustrates how healthful the practice is for the brain. Dan Shanahan

What I notice after practicing meditation is how my mind seems to be able to separate memories from the emotions that were usually attached to them. Before, certain memories always came with certain emotions, most of which were painful, be it shame, regret, sadness. But now when those memories come to me, I'm just like: 'Oh, right, I experienced them.' And I let them pass.

مدیتیشن مکان و زمان خاص خودش را نیاز دارد . در یک مکان ارام و ترجیحا فضای یاز با صدای طبیعی و بعد از بیدلر شدن . یک ارامش خاصی نصیب انسان خواهد کرد

🎉درود در هر حالت میتوان مدیتیشن کرد. باید قوی و قدرتمند در ایجاد ذهنیت در تمرکز بر ارامش شرایط مختلف محیط باشیم. مهم تخلیه ذهن از هرگونه فرکانس اضافه در محیط اطراف است😊🎉❤
