[@seankeikbusch9404]

@@kylelee6164 well.... I'm not sure I can encompass everything it has done for me with words. The short version is that it has increased my happiness and peace of mind exponentially.For the longer version, I can say that it has given me greater control over my own mind and a much better understanding of how my mind works. This has helped me to begin to see things as they actually are rather than what they look like distorted through the lense of my preconceptions. This in turn has greatly increased my ability to interact with the world with intention rather than in the emotional and reactionary fashion that I used to. I have not perfected this of course but I have made incredible progress. If you'd like I can tell you a simple way to get started.

What I love about Buddhist scholars is their openness and acceptance of science. This show they have confidence over their knowledge and wants to benefits all beings. That’s commendable !

[@ShawnsEPIC]

i think calling measuring brain waves “science” and not calling how effectively the monk can control mind as science is a little silly to me considering the monk knows how to do it. “science” can only explain limited understanding of the brain through measurements. buddhists believe in cause and effect on a more fundamental level than most people and understand that knowing about your gamma waves is less important than knowing yourself. the way to end human suffering is going to take a long time for “science” if we limit our understanding of what science is through labels and false perceptions.

I'm a 28 year old male with ADD, ADHD, RLS and being constantly anxious. My armpits would transpire enormously and I had lots of problems growing up. The last 6 months I've been meditating for an average of 30min per day (started with 1 minute due to ADHD and ADD) and slowly increasing. It's like going to the gym for me, but for my mind. The positive effects I've been experiencing are enormous. I got rid of the anxiousness, I've had a major breaktrough 2 days ago with my RLS (where I could actually fall asleep without moving my legs, this has never happened in my entire life). I'm more calm, relaxed, happy and most importantly IN THE MOMENT :) I would suggest everyone to implement this in their schedule. Have a nice day!

It's like they see it as 'cheating'. I just see it as finding the cheat codes. And so does the Dalai Lama. He says meditating for five hours a day is hard work. (No sh*t!) He once told a conference of neuroscientists, _"If it was possible to become free of negative emotions by a riskless implementation of an electrode - without impairing intelligence and the critical mind - I would be the first patient."_ Damn.

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong - but meditation isn't about thinking about nothing, it's about bringing your attention to the present by focusing on your breathing, meaning as long as you dont completely forget about your breath when you meditate, it's cool to think stuff. Hope this helps & that I'm not wrong here.

[@AJoyfulMind]

[@emmillyy.]

Do meditations purely focused on emotions and changing core beliefs first, when you change your beliefs you change your world. I noticed since i started doing this i began to understand why everyone does EVERYTHING and literally cant be mad at anyone for their decisions. People let emotions govern them, and the belief system they didnt even choose as a child. The rigorous process of changing your beliefs has lots of emotional labor involved. It's super fucking hard. I'd meditate 2-3 hours a day feeling an emotion, asking why i felt it (We believe our beliefs serve us more than alternatives on some level, its there to serve us not sabotage but when we let it take control it often makes bad decisions) and then asking until i got to a core, and when i got to a core belief i would provide counter evidence in the form of questions followed by "this is true isnt it? Then isnt this true?" And doing it with every fucking belief. The trick is truly understanding your own pov first and genuinely wondering whether it *is* in your best interest. Sometimes, the belief you want is actually NOT in your best interest, and you side with the emotion you wanted to get rid of in the first place because you recognize it actually was right. When you have a paradigm youre locked into it which is scary because it dictates how you view yourself and your life which will create self fulfilling prophecys. For example if you truly believe you should get a job but one part of you doesnt want you to, for the undiscovered core belief that you feel more comfortable at home and you truly believe you dont want it, the two parts will go against eachother and the core belief will be proven to you- youll find some way to screw up the interview!!! This is just one of the reasons its so crucial to understand. It also will bring into question assumptions about people, make you more open, more kind, and more hard working. I recently hit 100k in just 12 days in my ecom store after relentless work i truly enjoyed as a result of changing my entire belief system. I no longer take adderall but feel as if im on it when i work (took a long time) used to get Cs in school even on adderall, now getting As. Its not magic just hard work and changing your belief system, not accepting the one we didnt even bother to question and just adopted at birth. A good rule of thumb is the stronger the emotion attached to the belief, generally ive found 1. Its the most far from reality 2. It has the least evidence to back it up 3. It is the strongest. Get in there and begin questioning them!!

[@emmillyy.]

Another important aspect is diet!! Make sure you do protein calculations, .8g per kg of body weight, eat only clean foods, eat under your maitenence or 200-400 calories below it/one meal a day, try establishing a yoga and workout routine (i aim for 10k steps a day, and work out 3x a week create a lifestyle that does this so you dont have to just do it, listen to good audiobooks and memorize the content) and get enough rest. These will allow you the brain power to even do the things i mentioned, theyre so emotionally laborious and energy zapping at the start, youll truly need to eat clean at least and get enough sleep or you might give up. Visualizing the desired outcome with that "winning" feeling before you sleep is also something that will wire your mind to keep going and is super powerful (i see many doing affirmations but this is just a bandaid, as soon as you stop your old beliefs will take over. If you dont remove them at the core, theyre like weeds and will just grow again) good luck and cheers!

How to meditate ...؟؟

[@HaroutBlack]

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father (God) but by me" John 14:6 although the main focus of meditation is the calming of the mind which is the main reason of such results, the practice of buddhists and Hindus goes beyond the practice to master calming their mind, they aim to reach higher spiritual awareness through hand positioning to call on spirits that bring divers spiritual experiences on the meditator, it is a never ending cycle of reaching higher being which no one has, it is like a trap, the more you do it the more you have to do and eventually it leads to anxiety, but when your looking for the perfect peace, Jesus Christ is the only way to perfect peace and salvation. Hindus meditate everyday and while meditating they have peace but when their meditation is finished the peace goes away. But Jesus gives everlasting peace which never leaves. therefore if your looking for truth Jesus says "I am the truth, the way and the life" John 14:6. "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved" Romans 10:13

To me it seems like meditation can be effectively described as a practice that grounds and harmonizes you. Doing a single thing for long periods of time, as opposed to many, enables a person to attain full calibration to that single task, which in the case of traditional meditation is one's own existence. Multitasking on the other hand has the opposite effect, where you try to calibrate yourself to multiple things simultaneously without really attaining true attunement to any, resulting in a bad ability to focus well at these tasks.

Eh, a severe struggle with mental illness and experiencing many traumatic events around the same year or two-just about every thing bad you can imagine happening to a person happened and I just sat there and took it 😂-forced me to meditation out of desperation one day despite my being in psychiatric treatment for years. The most unbelievably calming sense dawned on me as I enjoyed a black mindscape of seeing thoughts and varieties of emotion pop up here and there: there is no constant me, no eternity, as the minds conception of self involves many different forms of self acting at various times (neuroscience supports this with fmri scans of the brain, I.e default networks). For whatever reason this became very calming as lots of my anxiety and trauma issues relate to extreme fear of death and loss of “me,” or my life as my brain knows it. Then I began to become aware that the only true constant that we ever have is the present moment, because we’re always in it. It’s always now, and we can’t really say that about anything else comprehensible by humans in this universe. That’s proved extremely calming and improved my clarity of mind over time, and led to much improved health; perhaps counterintuitively, I have realized a much truer connection to my “self” and what she likes and her opinions on things and that I’ve treated her pretty terribly over the years by not letting her be embodied or caring very much about her physical health. I’ve since learned that letting go of anxiety and built-up traumas by affixing my mind to the present as the true only constant instead of “myself”-there is no “self”-was one of the gifts the Buddha mentioned meditation could bring. Sorry to write so much; I just felt like this was important to share.

I am actually not even joking. I have seen almost on every video about meditation on YT some "bot-looking-posts" explaining how meditation helped them. But I think this thing is really real. About a few months ago I started meditating 10mins a day and continued for 2 months. Then I had to drop it as I got increasingly busy and couldn't keep it up. But after these sessions I started doing things I never imagined I could do. U know I have been into art for a long time. Tried doing things before but never really satisfied me. After these sessions i decided just to try drawing with ballpen. I was always like "no way, i cant do this, one mistake, u cant go back" and so on. After meditating just for this long, I could actually do crazy things, shadows, characters and design just with a ballpen. Very intuitive way of drawing, never imagined i could do it. Of course I wasnt like one day I couldnt do it and just the next day do it as if I am Da Vinci. No, it still took some time to master the technique but no way this is not a result of mindfulness meditation. It really changes the way you think. Even after I stopped meditating I can still draw complex ideas without using any presketch, only a Bic ballpen. Hope this encourages u to take on it

[@Camzeyy]

Been meditating for I'd say like 10 minutes a day for the past 8 months here are some discoveries I've made 1) When I wake up in a bad mood, (usually because my morning starts off with something extra or annoying) my subconscious thoughts will become more negative, and once I meditate, it clears my mind, and it's like waking up on the right side of the bed when I am done 2) Focus. One time, I was in a bad mood thinking a lot about stuff in the past, and this completely got rid of all anxious thoughts. (probably my best discovery) the point is that your brain always needs to be focused on something, so lets say you get really anxious in public, well your brain is focused on those thoughts, and it is something that you can control and change. And I know this because of this one experience where I felt very very zen lol when I usually wouldn't have, just because my brain was focused on something else. 3) Stopping negative thoughts instantly. I think previously, these negative thoughts that would pop up would just kind of take over my mind. I didn't really think anything of it, my brain just wandered, and I followed. But now, as soon as a negative thought pops up, I instantly become aware of it, and redirect my thoughts elsewhere. There is a lot more consistency with my days being considered good because of this. One thought that is negative can have a ripple effect and ruin your whole day. So it is. best to just ignore it if it is meaningless. I have just now gotten to the point where I actually kind of look forward to meditating, just because of reason #1 mainly. Even if I am having a good day, it makes it even better. It took a bit to get here tho, at first meditating was a chore. I would also like to point out I am not great at meditating at all, I suck at focusing on my breath, but overtime, I have made these discoveries by connecting a few dots. I have made more, but I can't remember them all because I don't wanna take the time to think back lol, these were more recently emphasized. last point is that meditating on a certain idea is super useful too. Usually, your brain just wanders and has the same thoughts, or useless thoughts, but when you really focus on one thing, you start to figure A LOT out. Whether it be a business idea, what groceries you need to get, your to do list, etc. Actual Last Point (most important) the best advice I could give anyone in the world would be to spend 20 minutes at the end of each day or even once a week to just sit down and talk out loud, or type. The reason this is the best advice I could possibly give someone is because the amount of things that you will figure out is infinite. This is what lead me down this road of 'figuring stuff out" anyways thank you for reading, and if you read thus please leave a comment and lmk your thoughts.

[@reesea365]

After meditating for 4 months straight for an hour back in 2014, my whole life changed! When I started meditating, I was only doing it to help silence my thoughts bc I worked in a warehouse where there were lots of noises - buzzing, chatter, machines going off, the overhead announcements going off, random equipment and device rings or beeps and I just needed some peace and quiet when I got home. So I meditated every single day for an hour after work for about 4 months. After the 4 months I noticed significant changes throughout my day-to-day. For instance, whenever you wake up from dreaming - do you remember the dream? Rarely, right? Welp! NOT ANYMORE!! My memory suddenly was on fire - I could recall the littlest details about my day, or if I had lost something I could back-track and find the lost item, and I could also remember every. Single. Dream. I had. It got to the point where I was recording a whole month’s worth of dreams because I would wake up and actually remember everything - colors, sounds, symbols, people, situations, everything! Even if I just took an hour nap I would dream! I did more research after and found that we only dream if we enter deep sleep (REM), so I naturally could get to REM without even trying - it was all due to meditation since that was the only thing I changed in my daily routine. Other than that, I was able to precognitive dream at times and had some interesting experiences that I cannot really explain, which never happened to me prior to this. Anyway, just thought I’d share my story. Although now I don’t really meditate as often as I used to, the ability to remember dreams or recall things is still pretty sharp. This all happened about 6 years ago and to this day I still have this ability. I stopped meditating heavily only because I wanted the dreams to stop, but I’m still able to dream vividly every night, I just stopped recording them bc it got to be a bit excessive. When I do meditate, I only do so for like half an hour to an hour and when I do it, I usually don’t think of anything. I just try to listen to the silence and not focus on anything. That was my method.

I suffered from anxiety attacks for years. Had a bad episode at College in front of fellow students. It was embarrassing. My Dr put me on Narcs that wasn't effective until after the attacks happened, so I gave them up and looked into other alternatives. I found meditation. Practice for years. It changed my entire life; no more anxiety-attack-free for over 7 years now, and I became more emotional, mentally balanced. I handle "negative" situations with ease. Meditation is so valuable!

Hii, it's a personal experience guys , I started meditation and yoga when i was in beginning of my 9th standard, it means when we are facing 1st wave of corona that year it really went well I started noticing change in by behaviour face change attitude, i became soo calm , mature , more like a grown adult . But after that when the schools were re opened i didn't get enough time to continue it and then i became lazy lost patience, my anxiety levels increased , I don't know the reason but observed so many drastic changes in me i literally became the worst version of my self .. it's been 2 years I stoped it . I really realised my mistake. As I faced the worst situations. Now I again decided to do that daily .. it really makes me feel that I'm with my true personality. And i totally lv it .thanks ma'am/sir who ever read this till the end ☺️

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father (God) but by me" John 14:6 although the main focus of meditation is the calming of the mind which is the main reason of such results, the practice of buddhists and Hindus goes beyond the practice to master calming their mind, they aim to reach higher spiritual awareness through hand positioning to call on spirits that bring divers spiritual experiences on the meditator, it is a never ending cycle of reaching higher being which no one has, it is like a trap, the more you do it the more you have to do and eventually it leads to anxiety, but when your looking for the perfect peace, Jesus Christ is the only way to perfect peace and salvation. Hindus meditate everyday and while meditating they have peace but when their meditation is finished the peace goes away. But Jesus gives everlasting peace which never leaves. therefore if your looking for truth Jesus says "I am the truth, the way and the life" John 14:6. "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved" Romans 10:13

Buddhist teaching, that is amazing ! All the sufferings are coming because of the mind. If you control your mind and thinking , there is no suffering at all. To do that, meditation is essential. Because our mind is wandering everywhere in every second. The mind has trained for that. It is difficult to keep in mind without shivering. Meditation gives you the strength to do this. When your mind is calm, you feel that your body is getting lighter, your mind becomes lighter. I have felt this experience so much time. When I got some headache, I meditated and tried to control my mind. I tried to concentrate for the pain... Then I try to give up that pain... I refused that pain does not belong to me... Because this body does not belong to me... Then, automatically my pain was lost... I feel amazing... This was a true experience... Try this and give me feedback... mind is very powerful thing... But we need to control our mind... That is what Buddhism teaches you... That's why Buddhism is greater than other religions... Everything is due to our mind.... Happiness is within our self... Dont seek it within other things... You can buy happiness from different things, but all these things are in permanent... But happiness comes from controlling the mind, it is permanent until death....

[@anic5805]

If anyone can spare 11 days to quickly feel the profound effects of daily meditation, look into doing Vipassana 10-day retreat where you remain silent the whole time except for necessary communications with staff and meditation leader. With all the noise and distractions of city life removed, we were immersed in simple life of meditating, eating wonderful tasting vegetarian food, sleeping, and walking in the center's surrounding nature. I quickly achieved a deep and sustained state of peace and calm like I'd never experienced before. The sleeping accommodations were minimal/basic yet I got excellent rest and woke up effortlessly way earlier than usual with less hours of sleep than I would need in LA where I live.

​@@HaroutBlack Hello Harout :) Jesus actually spoke on the absolute level of reality. He has embodied the ultimate truth entirely, aka "God" / "Heaven", "The Kingdom of heaven is within you." Jesus has said. And, for the 18 years of his spiritual development, Jesus was actually meditating, seeking spiritual masters, and is known as "The Great Traveler". And it is not right for you to assume such things: "Hindus meditate everyday and while meditating they have peace but when their meditation is finished the peace goes away." Did Jesus Christ's peace "go away"?, the truth is, there is no difference between Jesus and you. The key is he had fully realized the ultimate truth, and that is God is within. There is an abundance of evidence of Jesus' travels, and there would be an overwhelming amount of spiritual leaders at his time, as he was born just 500 years after the Buddha had passed away. When you realize Truth for yourself, you will understand Jesus' quotes greatly. I ask you to find Truth with external means, but internal means.

I meditate whenever I feel stressed or I need to clear my mind of any thoughts. The trick that works for me is to focus on breathing first In-Hold-Out and make that the only thought you have and after a while slowly make that thought slip away.
