Probably the best tool to train your pre frontal cortex (the logical you). It will not make you happy, in fact it can make you depressed. It's not a cure all for your loneliness or feelings of sadness. It's a powerful practice that deserves to be studied by the practicioner like a martial art. But once you get going and become skillfull at it you can even slow time. Very powerfull tool.
That’s interesting.
Would you recommend 15 minutes for the first time, or less?
I find you still see benefits with consistency no matter the timing. It’s better to do a routine you can easily do every morning and if that’s 15 minutes that’s fine.
If you've never meditated much start with 3 minutes and work your way up
>you can even slow time
Explain? Can you use that "slow time" to be productive or is it just that time seems to move slower when you're in meditation? What benefits do you gain from time moving slower? Genuinely asking.
Well your attention improves a lot, so when you bring your awareness to something you are more in the present if that makes sense. And things slow down.
I try to meditate for 5-10 minutes in the morning. I always find myself more stressed and overwhelmed on days I don’t meditate. Even 5 minutes is hard at first I found myself feeling the urge to check my phone but it really just gives you an opportunity to listen to your body
Same, any days I've skipped morning meditation have been hectic and stressed.
Just few minutes of breathing, focusing and thinking about my life and what I am doing, why and how really helps.
Get the book The Mind Illuminated.
Study Vipassana and Frank Yangs work on the subject.
as a frank yang watcher, this is the fastest way to scare someone away from the topic
Suck my tongue
Dam Dalai you dirty
I tried 5 minutes of meditation a morning for a while but it didn't do anything for me. I thought it would relax me but it was draining trying to dismiss all my internal monologue.
You need to empty out the inbox and clear your spam folder. Can take a lot time
What is the result of continuing to do it? If I get something out of it I'll start again.
It will help correct this way of thinking for starters
Can't speak to other people's experience, but I developed the ability to focus my attention for prolonged periods
I'm in grad school for EE and have two to three hour long classes where all we do is discuss equations. 100% of the lecture is staring at calculus. I am able to hold my attention on the lecture for hours, rather than drifting off and missing important info.
Also, I understand myself much better I understand where my thoughts are coming from and why they are there. That is an invaluable tool for my wellbeing.
empty the teapot
sit, sit your mind, breathe in breathe out, don't think, don't think about not thinking, don't.
be
observe
don't forget to breathe
wait till all floats away
joy to you

It's like the opposite of doing squats until your legs don't work anymore.
I've done it for like 10 years and I don't know what the point of it was. It does help you focus for prolonged periods of time but that's about it.
Nice
There's different ways.
The bros in Tibet do some shit where they wrap wet sheets on themselves outside in the cold and whoever drys the most wins.
Don't think I'm quite there yet but I'll give it a try. Just got out of the first cold shower that i didn't b***h out on halfway through, so i guess that's a start
It should have raised your awareness of automatic thought processes and recurring though contents.
*and helped disconnecting from the problematic ones. Or just from the useless ones if you're lucky.
Sure did, but that doesn't solve anything. You'll still go insane if you sit in a room long enough.
What's the right way to meditate? Think about nothing but focus on breathing? I'm gonna try it for a few weeks in the mornings and see if it works for me
After try different methods, I found out that counting breaths works best for me.
Inhale
Exhale
Count 1
Inhale
Exhale
Count 2
repeat as many times as you want. 20 is a good quick meditation that calms me down. 50 when I'm addicted to my phone and need to calm my mind.
I don't control volume of air I breathe, I focus on counting. It will naturally slow down around 10th breath
one time i did it at night until i fell asleep, in the mornin i woke up and i had no thoughts, zero, I just kept meditating without realizing anything else.
I went to school that day and my stomach and heart felt warm, as if I was in love. That was years ago, I've never meditated since.
Mediation is bullshit and is ultimately satanic. It opens you up to negative thoughts and feelings.
Instead, pray to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This is the best advice you will EVER receive on /fit.
>someone else has to be my messenger to god
pathetic israelite cope
what are you saying jesus is the god
>God blessed you with this beautiful mind
>to explore and understand it is a sin
That makes no sense.

>The kundalini symptom of sweating blood is undoubtedly due to the increased release of histamine during extreme stress, such as in the case of Jesus
That shit turns you gay.
Meditation is a wellness scam, plain and simple.
Though there is some evidence that meditation has some benefits, none of these are unique to meditation, and in fact you would be better off practicing some other type of relaxation such as reading, or light exercise
Meditation as it is practiced in the west is essentially a bastardized and commodified form of eastern religion. Westerners using meditation to help with their health is absurd, it would be like if people in India started saying The Lord's Prayer every night because they thought doing so would hep them file their taxes.
There is always someone making money off of meditation, that should be the first major red flag. They will in one breath tell you that meditation is simple and that anyone can learn it, but in the next say that if you want to truly learn meditation you need to pay for expensive guided sessions so that they can teach you how to empty your mind harder or something stupid like that.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the guy who popularized meditation in the west literally made billions of dollars off of scamming gullible white people who were desperate to cling to any form of spirituality they could find.
There is also a lot of weird cult like tendencies in meditation communities, especially Transcendental Meditation. Watch the documentary David Wants to Fly to learn more
When I look around at people I know who practice meditation, I do not see these ultra wise and healthy people or anything like that, I see people who are just as anxious, lost and confused as anyone else. It kind of reminds me of the psychedelic crowd. If meditation truly was so powerful, why are we not ruled over by a caste of meditating superhumans?
>Meditation is a wellness scam, plain and simple.
Its not though. Just because some morons scammed other morons doesn't mean it doesn't work or help, if you actually pay for meditation you are a moron plain and simple.
You're throwing the plates out of the gym because you found gear in the PTs bag, anon.
Do people with no inner monologue have an easier time meditating?
>people with no inner monologue
They are just not aware they have one. How could they properly meditate?
I watch porn with 9 tabs open at once. Firefox is best for this since the overlay is stackable. Usually mute the audio on 6 or 7 and leave 2 being the main focus.
Watch for an hour or two and dont jerk off till the very end. Dont even touch your dick. Trains reducing libido and cum massive loads.
Mostly boring though since the porn is just the dick going in the pussy for 30 mins. Good meditation for the mind cause dont want it to wander to much. I can focus much better now
I related to like 70% of that
watching other people have sex is cuck shit instead watch solo
Meditation isn't having zero thoughts or trying to suppress them. It's keeping trying to not being carried away by any of them. The only progress you make with time and practice is being carried away less and less further.
stick to lifting
Op here
Is it ok to talk to yourself on your head?
My mind was saying things like “focus on the sounds, focus on the darkness”
No
No internal monolog
>"no internal monologue"
>"no internal monologue"
modern men can't grasp it and you should have a master
Prayer vs. meditation? I know that the monks at Mt. Athos in Greece pray all day, every day, in some cases repeating a single phrase like "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me."
Meditation is very bad for you if you have a psychotic/dissociative-like mental dissorder.
meditation is the practice of death
this
>emptying your mind nothing matters duuude
gay shit
SUCK MY TONGUE, BIGOT!!!!!
why did he do that?
>attain higher state of consciousness
>expected to follow the values of societies in decline
shiggydiggy
>meditate on fighting
think about your forearms blocking
shadowbox with your eyes closed
punch, knee and elbow the fridge with your eyes closed
this will lessen your anxiety more than emptying your mind and turning into a passive cuck. you will love the struggle of life. also meditate on the bible to get closer to God and you wont give into degeneracy
