Meditation and looking inward is the one thing they don't want you to do.

Why do you think all the abrahamic religions worship external entities or dieties. Why do you think we're constantly bombarded with stimuli in the form of TV or Radio or News or any of that other shit.

It's all to keep you in a trance where your brain is operating at a lower vibrational level. so you don't think about things like consciousness or meditation or the big picture.

What is prayer? Forget the way moderns do religion. There is nothing more reflective than prayer. Purge false desires, and meditate on the attributes of God. We are made in his image. Screw that mind-emptying Eastern meditation.

Meditation helps you differentiate between your ego and your intuitive side.

Doing what feels right

vs.

Doing what you THINK is right


The ego and your intuition must work in harmony.

Dunno but it helps me and made me who I am today. It's definitely beneficial and some weird shit. If I'm deep in meditation my breathing slows and eventually I do not require air and just exist. Sounds crazy I know but it pulled me out of suicidal thoughts back in high school. When I started meditating I was in deep thinking about it and...well you can believe it or not I heard a voice in my head not my own. Commanding "Then just do it already" and from that one phrase I changed for the better and never went back.

Meditation is good for you.

meditation is a loaded term and conjures images of spiritual nonsense. just do breathing exercises. take deep breaths and focus entirely on your breathing. have your entire focus be on that for a while as you regulate it and take deeper and deeper breaths, and manage to have your exhalation take longer as well.

this will cause you to experience sensory deprivation, because your mind is typically used to receiving tons of sense data. the mind then tries to avoid this sense deprivation by "proposing" all sorts of things for you to think about which are far more interesting than just focusing on breathing. it'll say, think about this, and think about that, and herein lies the challenge. you have to say "no thanks" to these proposals and keep focusing on breathing. regulate it. notice the cool air as it rushes down your nostrils, and how its warm on the way out. visualize your lungs filling up and emptying. you'll want to start thinking about life or w/e bullshit because you think that's what you're supposed to do, but just focus on breathing. that's it. Don't suppress thoughts that emerge, only say "no thanks" to them.

try to take deeper breaths, and maybe even start counting seconds to see how deep the breaths are. be cautious that your mind might be distracted away from focusing on breathing by the counting

in about 10 minutes, the mind exhausts its "offers" for other shit to think about, and you can easily just concentrate on breathing, and be ok with your mind receiving and processing such little info. In this way, the mind "clears its cache," so to speak. all these thoughts that were at the back of your mind without you noticing get deleted.

>>2183858
This.
Science only support meditation as one possible addition to stress therapy, provided it works for you.
Also, lol @ gamma rays in brain.

>>2183862
pt. 2

once you stop the breathing exercise, and open your eyes and go about your day, your mind can now focus 100% of its energies on one thing. anxiety goes away, because it turns out its just the minds inability to focus, in the same way your computer will freeze up if too many programs run in the background.

the best feeling is when you open your eyes, after having been used to the sense deprivation, and having all this info rush in on you. It's awe inspiring. truly. that's the word for it. awe.

One thing you can do to up the ante after you get this down is to try to do the breathing exercizes in places where there's a lot of noise, lots of distractions. there it will take that much more will power to concentrate your focus on just the breathing. it trains you well for concentration. it makes it so you can think about one thing with 100% of your mental powers even as everything around you is in chaos, because you've learned to control what your mind can focus on.

never meditating is like having a jar full of cloudy water that you never stop shaking. When you stop shaking the jar, you see all the individual grains as they settle, and then your mind is clear and ready to take on new tasks.

Meditation is thinking without judging, it's how to break out of a reactionary cycle. Anyone can do it, it is free, and it helps you control your mind. What is the downside?

Set a timer for 10 minutes, commit yourself to just existing until the alarm goes off. During that time, just focus on the air coming in and out of your nose. If you have another thought, don't react frustrated thinking "i'll never meditate at this rate", instead when you have a distracting thought, acknowledge that it appeared and let it pass by as you return your focus to your breathing. It's okay to have random thoughts, that is just the sediment settling. Your thoughts are merely passing by you, they can only stay if you focus on them. Focus on your breathing. Just breathe. The time will pass before you know it (It's going to pass anyway and you'll probably fuck around for at least 10 minutes today). Examine how it affects your mood without judgement. Just think without judgement.

Good luck anon

>thinking about nothing

That's not what meditation is, nor how it works. This is a huge misconception.

Meditation is simply being aware of what is going on in your mind. Thinking about nothing implies you're actively trying to suppress whatever thoughts or feelings are buzzing in your mind.

Meditation is noticing the 3rd "eye" or "person" that is aware of your thoughts and feelings. You can't think about "nothing," because that is thinking about something.

You have all these thoughts and feelings that constantly buzz and bubble about in your mind, and the more you meditate and get experienced at it, you will notice that there is a 'space' between the thoughts in your mind. You will notice this naturally, and that 'space' gets longer and longer. This is not 'thinking about nothing' because it is not a forced zombified state of suppressing thoughts and emotions, when done properly, it is 'emptiness', which is just another way or being 100% present, where you are experiencing reality for what it is instead of in duality.

That's why sex with a feminine, loving woman have such a profound 'grounding' effect on a man. They can bring you to the present moment 100%.

tl;dr: meditation trains you to become familiar with being present and living in the moment. So if you're a strong guy who lifts and works on himself, meditation will make your personality more vibrant, present, and therefore, charismatic. Don't write it off because faggots meme it up with their faggotry. Meditation is redpilled.

Meditation is the ultimate Red Pill. Contrary to popular belief, meditation is NOT about NOT THINKING. This is a Western misunderstanding of what meditation is really about. What meditation is really about is FOCUSING your mind, NOT emptying your mind of all thoughts. It's impossible for the average person to empty his or her mind of all thoughts, since the very NATURE of the mind is to think thoughts. So what meditation is about is SILENCING the 'chatter' of your mind, because the average person's mind is CONSTANTLY immersed in many thoughts - each of which appears in that person's mind WITHOUT that person's control. So what expert meditators do is that they make their mind ONE-POINTED when they meditate. What this means is that they think ONLY ONE THOUGHT while they're meditating (to the exclusion OF ALL OTHER THOUGHTS) and they keep this single thought in their mind for a prolonged period of time (like an hour, for example). The single thought should be something simple (like a white dot, for example). This technique is about DISCIPLINING your mind. Check out Ramana Maharshi's stuff. He knew all about the 'one-pointedness of the mind' style of meditation.

Don't run as exercise. I've always intuitively felt that running is an unnatural type of exercise for us humans and this was confirmed when I found out that some guy died from a heart attack shortly after running in a marathon. We don't need to run for exercise, walking for long distances is a better type of exercise than running. Consider this: The slowest creatures tend to be the longest-living creatures. For example, turtles can live for over a hundred years.

"Many illustrations could be given of the mathematical relationship between man's respiratory rate and the variations in his states of consciousness. A person whose attention is wholly engrossed, as in following some closely knit intellectual argument, or in attempting some delicate or difficult physical feat, automatically breathes very slowly. Fixity of attention depends on slow breathing; quick or uneven breaths are an inevitable accompaniment of harmful emotional states: fear, lust, anger. The restless monkey breathes at the rate of 32 times a minute, in contrast to man's average of 18 times. The elephant, tortoise, snake and other animals noted for their longevity have a respiratory rate which is less than man's. The tortoise, for instance, who may attain the age of 300 years, breathes only 4 times per minute." - Paramahansa Yogananda

Running makes us breathe fast. Now tell me honestly that running is good for us. You can't!

In the ancient Sanskrit language of India, the word 'siddhi' means 'perfection'. In its most common usage, the word 'siddhi' refers to an ability that is a natural and inherent faculty of our true identities as eternally alive souls. The soul is smaller than an atom and larger than the universe. The soul is infinitely small and infinitely large. The soul is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. The soul is the storehouse of ALL ENERGY, ALL POWER AND ALL STRENGTH. The soul is PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. The soul possesses ALL siddhis and there are an INFINITE number of siddhis. Among all of these siddhis, there are considered to be eight major siddhis. Siddhis can be awakened through a variety of methods. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1, it is stated:

"Siddhis may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi."

Here is a list of the eight major siddhis (in no particular order):

Laghima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as light as you want.

Garima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as heavy as you want.

Mahima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as large as you want.

Anima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as small as you want.

Prapti siddhi: Having unrestricted access to any and/or all places.

Prakamya siddhi: Fulfillment of whatever you desire.

Isitva siddhi: Control over any and/or all of the laws of nature.

Vasitva siddhi: Being able to control any and/or all beings.

We ought to remember who and what EVERYONE REALLY IS - Pure Consciousness, which is INFINITE AND ETERNAL, experiencing life in a temporary human form. You can do ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO and you can be ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE. They want us to think that the average person is powerless to positively change the world, but the TRUTH is that we have INFINITE POWER - both individually AND collectively. There's only one of us here. If you hit yourself on the head with a baseball bat, they'll put you in a mental hospital, yet that's EXACTLY what people are doing on a global scale. You can call Pure Consciousness 'God' if you want, but I don't because the word 'God' has religious connotations that I would rather avoid. Religion is the McDonald's of spirituality.

What we need to do is to raise our level of consciousness, both individually AND collectively. If even one person raises his or her level of consciousness, it has a ripple effect that benefits EVERYONE ELSE, even if they don't believe any of this stuff - and this is because 'reality' itself is HOLOGRAPHIC in nature. One of the ways that they have manipulated us so deeply for so long is by suppressing our sense of the possible. What we call 'reality' is COMPLETELY ILLUSORY and thus MALLEABLE - and they KNOW THIS, while most other people do NOT. EVERYTHING IS ILLUSORY, EXCEPT PURE CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF. NOTHING is impossible in a universe that is ILLUSORY TO BEGIN WITH. People are AWAKENING to a MORE EXPANDED CONCEPTION of the world and life in general and this is a PROFOUNDLY GOOD THING. We owe it to our innate intelligence to QUESTION EVERYTHING and that includes EVERYTHING that I tell you. We have the power to transform this prison illusion into a PARADISE ILLUSION, so let's USE that power.

We're all one - and the beauty of this is that we don't have to be cucks despite this fact (and it IS a fact). We can STILL protect Western Civilisation and save the white race from extinction. We ought to embrace nationalist principles to protect Western Civilisation and save the white race from extinction even while REMEMBERING who and what WE REALLY ARE - Pure Consciousness (which is INFINITE AND ETERNAL) experiencing life in a temporary human form. Our TRUE STATE, our TRUE NATURE and our TRUE IDENTITY is Pure Consciousness and Pure Consciousness is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. We are SIMULTANEOUSLY one yet different in our oneness in much the same way that the waves of an ocean are one with that ocean but are also unique in and of themselves in that each wave has its own shape, speed and size. I think that's pretty neat. What we call 'reality' is HOLOGRAPHIC in nature, so we are in fact smaller versions of the whole (which you can call 'God', if you want). Every part of the whole contains the whole and, to be more accurate, IS the whole. And just as a drop of water contains the same qualities as an entire ocean of water, we likewise contain all that exists within us - but merely on a smaller scale. From unconditional love we ALL sprang and to unconditional love we ALL return. There is no death, only transference of consciousness. There are no answers, only choices. There are no hallucinations, only shifts in perception. There are no laws, only habits. There are no coincidences, only synchronicities. There are no truths, only experiences. There is no separateness, only oneness. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my message shall NEVER pass away. The message is more important than the messenger.

People who meditate and aren't doing it to virtue signal won't be broadcasting the fact that they meditate to you and so you would have no reason to know that they do it. You are conflating people who bring up their meditation habits with all people who meditate, most of whom are not likely to bring it up.

It is neither red pilled nor blue pilled.

You cannot expect to learn much about the value of an action that is done in private by examining the type of people who feel the need to take private actions and boast about them.

I cannot site an example off the top of my head, but it is not uncommon for successful people to mention meditation (in some form or another) in their biographies. I would start by looking at biographies of people you consider redpilled, because that is the appropriate place for people to be sharing their private thoughts and actions.

It's not like that stupid and crazy thought is what made Nazi Germany or something like that.

Thanks for the advice, man. What we call 'reality' is illusory and therefore malleable. Nothing is impossible in a universe that is illusory to begin with. I meditate at least once every day. I am a 29-year-old man and my only goals in life are to become the world's first real super-hero and then to achieve moksha. I do NOT want to reincarnate after this life of mine. My super-hero name will be 'Dragon Man' (because I'm a Dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac). I am training hard right now to awaken my siddhis.

No, that's Shirdi Sai Baba. Sathya Sai Baba was the guy with the afro.

Well, meditation now is kinda a commercialised product for normies and thats pretty blue pilled.

Meditation is a way to get insight about your own subconcious. That will put you on the long and treacherous of self actualisation and self improvement. If you look at it from yungian psychology perspective, you are forced to confront your own Shadow and thats not something thats easy or comfortable or enjoyable. It will not inherently grant you peace. Meditation will force you to either confront those issues with courage or quit meditating eventually. But you should use it as a tool in your life journey. And well, you obviously get all those mental health and well being benefits, but who cares.
>Is this a case of causation vs. correlation?
Well, yeah
>Does meditation somehow make you more of a pussy?
No.
>Is meditation secretly red pilled but attracts a bunch of drugged out blue pilled pussies for some reason?
Yes.

I went to a meditation session last week and the budhist element was really fucking gay but they do good guided meditations for me as a beginner.

You sound due for a mental breakdown and a subsequent sectioning under the mental health act desu mate

Blue pilled. Meditation is a form of mediumism that places the practitioner in an open and receptive state for demonic activity. The subrational and subpersonal state achieved unleashed chthonic forces in the meditator. The spiritual states achieved through the practice are a form of spiritual delusion, known as prelest.

Try it out and see if it's beneficial to you. Don't write something off as false just because the left has bastardized it. They're right about some things, though very few. Environmental sustainability for example.

I am Dragon Man. Anime won't ever BECOME 'real' because anime is ALREADY 'real' in an infinite number of universes. Anime is not 'real' here, but it IS 'real'. What we call 'reality' is illusory and therefore malleable. NOTHING is impossible in a universe that is ILLUSORY TO BEGIN WITH. EVERYTHING IS ILLUSORY, EXCEPT FOR PURE CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF (WHICH IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL). I shall use manojava siddhi (the ability to instantly take your body wherever your mind goes) to teleport into a universe where anime is 'real' and make sweet, sweet love to one of my waifus there.

Kek, stop fantasizing this m8. It isn't as cool as you think it is. You won't even be happy at the end of your journey....because nothing would make you happy or make you cry. You would be the perfectly balanced man, fully in control of your emotions. Childish notions of being a super hero would be replaced by the maturity to help the world get rid of suffering.
>superhero
Yeah, that won't happen. One of the most famous example of a successful Yogi is gautam Buddha. Do you really recognise that guy as a hero in a classic "batman" sense? Saint is the right word. And you might find saints to be boring(I find them fascinating), as they are highly disciplined and their lives are without any modern entertainment.

Now, that said, continue the practice of daily meditation, It would help you in day to day challenges.

Son, you are the one who is bluepilled.

Meditation means many things.

Just like words become sentences, and sentences become paragraphs, emotions and thoughts become constituents in larger units of meaning.

The first stages of meditation begin with focus. Only by emptying your mind, are you able to more accurately judge the quality of the thoughts you are surrounded with. One is introduced to the inevitability and acceptance of pain, and faced with a lot of doubt about the ability to transcend limits or pain.

From the conceptions you build of your thoughts, often not cleanly categorizable, you learn to establish larger units of meaning. Once the nature of a thought or feeling can be accurately assessed, then the relationships between them become easier to asses.

One also notices different levels of consciousness, and the qualities associated with them. One's reactions to things occur along a spectrum of states of mind. Calmness - basic experience or "living in the present moment" - allows you to also see clearly the states of mind in which you evaluate and judge things, because it is the simplest state of mind. The quality of a state, once seen, cannot be unseen. With enough practice, focus gives you a reference point on reality itself!

From this you can gain insight into yourself, your emotions and reactions. But it is a slow, slow process. Firstly, the catalogue of emotions reach well into the tens of thousands. And thoughts, of course, are infinite. And states of mind - what might be called, "levels of consciousness" - exist blurred along a continuum, not necessarily in discrete states. It is impossible to know them all except with a disciplined practice that takes place daily. And of course, knowing them all is not really necessary for most purposes. A programmer does not need to learn the entire specification of a language (though there are some gurus who actually approximate this knowledge, to the average programmer this has little utility).

true meditation should be treated as a ritual that is sacred. alone, in the comfort of your soul, with respect, determination, and reverence. the sacred is, by definition, private and unreachable to the mundane, and must not, by any means, be blabbered about on social media or anywhere else. the people who do it are posers who shoot themselves in the foot and who will make no progress with anything regarding spiritual development

>>2183835
It's bullshit. Sitting like mujahideen with your fingers up in the air does nothing.
Yoga is bullshit as well. There's literally nothing special about stretching.
You should occasionally have a nice rest during the day and that's all the meditation you need.
Otherwise, you shouldn't stay up late in the evening and sleep until noon like a slothful bag of shit. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise.

Meditation is historically Christian as much as is anything. A true Catholic would know this. Most Catholics are poz'd these days though. For 1600 years all of Europe conducted formal examinations of conscience with a priest known as reconciliation. That is meditation. Self-examination for improvement and mercy is meditation.

Sitting in a room mimicking the poses of Eastern religions because it's faddy couture right this minute in order to post lifestyle pics on Instagram is masturbation. Not meditation.

When your eyes are open neurotransmitters are not being released your neurons are hyperpolarized so when your eyes are closed your neurons depolarised releasing neurotransmitters usually making you feel better and can turn any over expression of receptors / proteins desensitising your neurons

Nope, makes you more aware of them, and at deeper levels. Leads to better control of emotions.

>Is a fucking wate of time!
Which enables some people to control the function of their body to better health and tolerate extreme cold. Meditation literally enables some people to do things thought scientifically impossible previously, and some fucking retards still ignore the evidence. I don't know if you are ignorant or lying, but fuck you and yer bullshit.

>It is an incredibly pacifying practice
in the early stages, deeper practice can lead to surfacing of things repressed, and can be very energizing.

>>2183930
>People who meditate and aren't doing it to virtue signal won't be broadcasting the fact
Same with prayer, and other religious and occult practices. The hindu/buddhist teachings that say siddhis or powers may develop tend to strictly forbid showing them off, or even proselytizing.

Harsh shampoo strips the scalp of grease, scalp reacts by producing more grease. Use gentle natural soap, break the greasy hair cycle. ALL-IN-ONE!
