no, but I'm bout that meditation life so bumpin for interest.

Here let me help you

1. Sit down or lay (be comfortable but alert)

2. Watch your diaphragm fill with air and exhale with air

3. When thoughts or sensations and disturbance enter your mind. Simply watch it as you would a passing cloud. Don't cling and get involved. Then simply as soon as you realize you've lost concentration. Go back to watching breath.

That's it, have fun

dont forget your chants breh

The purpose of during this is to develop a skill. The skill is to learn how you react and how to go back to "center" as you deal with day to day life. You won't be detached from emotions but with enough practice when you sense the emotions you will be in control. You can then decide how you want to deal with each situation in life. You won't have a emotionally disturbed mind that goes off the rail over every little thing that happens. (Sometimes you may even with lots of practice, overall tho I think the skill helps you be in control)

I'm on mobile right now but if you youtube Sam Harris mindfulness there's a pretty straight forward guided meditation to show you how to meditate anatomically

>>35582844

I'm going to post one of my favorite guided meditations, but it requires some basic techniques before beginning:

>Breath of Fire - Short Rapid Breaths

>The Root Lock (Mula Bandha) - Tightening The Taint [Note: You don't have to sit to do it.]

>Guided Kundalini Meditation - The Actual Meditation Video

Enjoy!

Heeeyyyyyy

This is relevant, I'm going to an isolation tank for the first time tomorrow. Is there anything I should know to make this an optimal experience?

I'm pretty excited but I'm kinda scared ill get claustrophobic in there. Also should I work out before or after? Thanks boys, good thread!

you can meditate in any position. my teacher taught me to meditate while walking, so i sometimes combine my mountain hikes with meditation

>>35582902
Shouldn't you be finding the talismans?

god damn it that finger-on lip pose looks so fucking stupid

>>35584166
I meditate and am someone who doesn't believe in any of that spiritually bs. Its been researched to have a ton of benefits.

1. Set your alarm for 20 minutes
2. Go sit in a comfortable position.
3. Keep your body still, close your eyes and focus on your breathing
4. You'll start thinking about all kinds of shit. Accept this, ignore it and keep returning to your breathing

In about 20 minutes you'll feel like your mind had a good nights sleep.

If you want to get the actual benefits of meditation without the Oriental memes and general utter bullshit surrounding this practice, checkout full catastrophe living by Jon kabat Zinn

It's cognitive training , meditation stripped off all the stupid Oriental shit, and its a good mobility workout as well since it include mindful yoga. Jews are really wonderful

Torrent the book and the audio meditation guide and just do the fucking program, which takes two month
