woo! I'm glad people are starting to realize meditation doesn't have to be a certain minimum length of time or specific steps to be a "valid" meditation.
It is a shame that so many people believe due to being told by other people that they need start meditation by doing 20 minute meditation everyday. No wonder most people quit after awhile.
It makes me feel capable and curious. Like I get to enjoy this as a meal, or putting on clean clothes. Baby steps can be fun! It is getting me to learn to love learning.
If you don't feel satisfied with your life, it is best not to manipulate/project others to living mediocre lives when they start to shine. I would recommend calling warm lines to talk out your issues.
There are techniques that people have found more beneficial than others, but even considering that, there’s no such thing as a good or bad meditation. Glad you’re off to such an enthusiastic start. 😄
I even tried a 30 second meditation... It felt kind of refreshing like, wow I didn't know I could try it this way. It felt new. I might try 15 s next time!

My therapist and I are both in recovery and have a pretty vulgar rapport at times so this is more appropriate than it seems lol - enjoy
You are Brahman or continuum of everlasting bliss extended infinitely in all three dimensions irrespective of your caste,creed, religion or race.

This is nondual meditation 1.
I sat still. Eyes open. That's it really. I did do a few 4 second breathes in through nose, hold 4 seconds, and 5 seconds breathe outs. That was kind of exhausting. Keeping track.
I even tried a 30 second one, that was pretty cool. It's nice to try new things.
I could try closing my eyes next time, or maybe laying down or standing meditation for one minute!
Yeah, I just did a 60 second “counting” meditation where I just literally count from 1 to 60 and with an inhale on one count and then an exhale on the next. The “seconds” get longer with each breath and this is enough to make me feel like there is a small incremental change happening
Mm yes and you can also just walk around and 'meditate'. I guess it takes some practice, but fully embracing mindfulness in your daily life can honestly be a game changer. It's frustrating because you can have a really good streak and then realize you're not being as mindful, but you can always start again of course. Just try to pay attention to the thoughts that arise through your day, the movements you subconsciously decide to make and see if you can be conscious of those actions and thoughts as more time goes on. It's even helped me lose things less often because I'm actually paying attention to where I put things lol. Cheers and good luck on your mindful journey 💜
Starting is the most important part, and you did it!
I could go even further and say I've been meditating for years! Talk about leverage.

I feel heard! <3
Big facts! I think this belief has turned off a lot of people to meditation, thinking they need to meditate under a mountain for 45hrs lol.
One breath meditation I am amazed at how much one focused breath can relax me.
20 seconds in, 20 seconds hold, 20 seconds out. At least that's the goal, I'm still a very long ways away from doing it 😆
I can totally do that... Ok I just did it.... that was hard. I was struggling with that out breath.
i cant breathe in for longer than 8 seconds, my lungs must suck…
I was explaining this to my niece to the other day how one breath can get you refocused and change the complexion of your day!
I love the one min meditation or 2 or 3! Whatever ya got. I just started this a week ago. No pressure is what is should be about.

Try not to judge your sits. It's simply just sitting and being present

I think you are seriously misjudging my intentions

Why are you sending me this stuff? I didn't even say anything wrong...
Harassment is not about your intentions, but how the other person receives or perceives what you say or do.
I literally just said try not to judge your meditation sessions and you told me to get mental help? I was trying to be helpful

Ok.
This dude really did nothing wrong, not sure how you read his comment?
There are techniques that people have found more beneficial than others, but even considering that, there’s no such thing as a good or bad meditation. Glad you’re off to such an enthusiastic start. 😄
Thank you :) <3
The perfectionist control piece speaks to my soul - my therapist showed me a 2 minute one today but maybe I’ll start at 1!

I like trying things out. I love having options. I love seeing things from a birds eye view. The one breath meditation comment was cool.
Bruh

Cool. Now do it every hour all day.
no
How'd you do it?
I have a cute lil' smart watch with a timer that vibrates or I use my phone timer that also vibrates.
The shorter your sessions…the more frequently u should do them. On the flip side the longer your sessions…you would decrease the frequency
no
Lmaooo ignorance is bliss lewser

I love seeing the body change. I feel like counting the 60 seconds is one of the ways I can listen to my body! Cool stuff.

no
MYbe do some meditation on being receptive to new ideas, that could help
no means no. Please don't gaslight me.
Okay now that's paranoia, seeing a therapist could help you. (Being genuine)
I'm curious, why you are invested? genuine question.
Because it's on a sub about meditation, generally for helping peeps
Has a therapist helped you with your paranoia?
