Do you pray /pol/? Do you meditate? Are you doing anything

I meditate daily and regularly slip into a light meditative state. Meditating deep in public is annoying, because I'm white no one believes I'm doing it right so they keep trying to distract me.

I furiously masturbate to shemale on female porn. Get's me to my moment of zen.

I pray to Jesus occasionally
The thing to watch out for is when people start trying to make you dramatize it
That is the way of the devil

I try to pray the rosary every night, doing the 54 Day Novena right now. Also I grew up in India and investigated a bunch of different traditions - until recently I practiced Tibetan Dream Yoga; achieved some interesting results with that (knew I was dreaming but didn't have access to my memories)

Is masturbation a form of meditation?

I've had lucid dreams before, it's the most incredible thing I've ever experienced. Have you actually done it or are you trolling?

Yes, not trolling. When I have them the first thing I always do is fly around, feels breddy great. For some reason I stopped having lucid dreams after I moved though

>>138564150
Did you do something in particular to trigger them? I get one every 3-4 months and it's incredible. I know I'm dreaming, but I am consciously aware that I can control what's going on. I'd like to say that I just do whatever I want to, but I normally just roleplay the context of whatever dream I'm having.

I like to jog a few miles before I lift...I find I get close to the feel of meditation by the rhythm...I barely raise my heart rate it seems it's so rhythmically pure now...I do meditate it seems fucking the wife...Half hour flies by...

>Did you do something in particular to trigger them?
For a while I did (Dream Yoga), but most often they happen on their own accord. Not sure if it's because of practice or age, but recently my dreams seem to be more vivid. Had one a few nights ago where I was following a legion through some hills, picked up a red stone that looked like a ribcage and some creature began speaking to me, saying that he existed long before mankind. I still remember the environment to the extent that I can draw it out

>>138565504
I have those kinds of dreams too. It's pretty much my overactive imagination, but it's neat that sometimes it isn't passive and I get to steer the direction of the dream.

>>138562615
I do a lot of hot yoga. It's a moving meditation and it allows me to really focus my attention/effort.

I strongly recommend this book if you are into Buddhism at all

I'm not, and no one intelligent is. Shouldn't you be in Tienanmen Square getting run over by a tank right now?

Bumping this thread, hoping to keep it alive.

Joking about your faggotry or lucid dreams? I'm not joking about lucid dreams.

>>138568507

That.

I lucid dream a lot and it happens mostly when I'm in and out of a sleep (mostly alert sleeping not deep sleep)

For me I always hate that the dream is ending at the best times it seems. I learned from others that if you feel yourself waking up to look at your hands in the dream. It has something to do with memory and dreaming are in a similar part of the brain so your memory of how your hands look reinvigorates the dream. Whatever it does it actually works. The dream instantly becomes clearer and you go back into it without the waking up feeling.

Lucid dreaming can be pretty introspective or whatever you might call it. Your in a dream, telling the other characters you know it's a dream. You can ask them questions directly and many things. So since their are part of your dream and subconscious are you really talking to yourself or your subconscious mind? Can you get some answers about your personal self from conversations with them?

The only spiritualness I get from them are when I speak to close people from my life who have died. I've woken up emotional because I was having a conversation with my grandfather or friend who was killed.

I'll have to try the hands trick. I've had lucid dreams my whole life, and I haven't ever done anything special to make the happen. I also sleep walk, so I might just be fucked up.

I tried but mind always drifts off. How do I start?

How should I discipline the mind to not drift when I tell it not to?

>>138570178
Yeah I have sleep paralysis (opposite of sleep walking) so maybe just irregular sleep causes it.

>>138562615
Yes, meditate you useful idiots, disconnect from the world, exactly as the Soviets want you.

>>138570236
I wish I could tell you anon, it happens spontaneously for me.
>Go to bed
>Next thing I know I'm in a Doom 2 level
>>138570442
That must be what happens. I sleep walk like crazy, so maybe my mind just won't shut down when I'm out.

>>138570236
Don't worry about drifting off. Try to set a time limit for just sitting and being quiet without distractions. 5 minutes if you can, then try 10 minutes. Then 15.

For me, the thing that helped the most was counting. Just count upwards, starting with 10, then 20, then 50, then 100. Setting little goals like this is really helpful.

this one is better.

i do the 5 daily prayers

>>138562615

Yup, I handload without the press when I want to go full Zen.

praying, sure. meditating, not too much, the world is in too much chaos at the present time. reincarnation is unfalsifiable, happens to everyone. better to accept that before attempting meditation.

>>138562615
I pray to god for strength and say grace before every meal.
