You must not let your mind control you You must control your mind If you cannot meditate for 10 minutes without distraction, it is not truly you in control Control your brain. Do not let your brain control you.
>>39651677Thanks :)
I try. I suck.
10 minutes of straight meditation without being interrupted by thoughts is a goal very few will manage in life.
I meditated all day long yesterday off and on and thats what I do most days with increased frequency. I try to explain it to people but they refuse to understand and have evil mentalities
>>39652602I don't think most even have it as a goal, because they don't realize they aren't really in control
>>39651677Hi Jung
>>39651677Try 2 hours without moving a muscle. 10 minutes is straight up gay guy work.
>>39651677bump
>>39651677Your not in control anyways, the future creates the present. Your not God and never will be.
>>39651677“You” don’t exist “you” are just your very thoughts
>>39654488I agree.On a side note: Based on modern research they say that many people don't have an inner monologue. However I have a different opinion: I believe that everyone has an inner monologue, it's just that those people who "don't have one" are actually not aware of it, they are so absorbed/hypnotized by this inner monologue to the point that they can't observe it.
>>39652520Do as this anon says: >>39655122 (But don't go for 2 hours straight, start with 10 minutes).Everyone nowadays dives directly into meditation by trying to ignore/tame/silence/watch the mind and its thoughts.First conquer the body, learn to sit absolutely still, then learn to focus your awareness on each part of your body and let it relax.You can even try progressive relaxation in which you tense the body part and then you relax it.https://felixthemage.substack.com/p/progressive-relaxationAfter becoming good at being able to sit still and relaxing your body it's time to focus on your breath and let it become relaxed and deep, this may take some sessions so be sure to practice every day.Once the breath is also calm well done you are now ready to meditate.
>>39655745With all due respect You're* Total control over the self is, in its ideal form, union with God >>39655756You transcend your thoughts regularly, unless you're a genuine npc. Surely your actions contradict your thoughts regularly? Surely you find yourself correcting or resisting your thoughts? There is a "you" beyond your thoughts
Reducing recreational screen time helps, doomscrolling literally fries your concentration muscle.
>>39651677Isn't meditation just doing nothing it's for fags that don't have an internal monologue
>>39658971>it's for fags that don't have an internal monologueProjection You don't have an internal monologue to silence
