It's spiritual. I want to figure out how to realise the body as an anchor.

This pic is bullshit. The more stupid you are the more you will suffer simply because you are not intelligent enough to deal with the troubles, struggles and problems that will come in your life.

wtf are you even talking about?
can you not use metaphors.

Vipassana meditation is taught to calm the mind and to anchor you mind into the present. It's also know as mindfulness.

Coming from my experience, I can say it changed my life. I read a few books touching on the subject and had a shot at meditation. The next day was the best i've ever felt in memory. I felt like I was in control of my life and these 'little me' thoughts had totally vanished. Compassion naturally flowed out towards other people, I felt complete so to speak. I also consciously remember saying to myself that this felt better than Ecstasy or mdma, in fact my attempts with these drugs were to attain this state of mind.

So i'm strongly sold on the practise as you can imagine, i'd give it a try because I felt a lot like you did, feeling small and like life was rushing past and you were being left behind powerlessly

The people in the middle are the ones who suffer the most. Smart enough to develop self doubt and neurosis, not smart enough to overcome these problems.

Horse stance

As usual with /x/ questions, the answer is ALWAYS more meditation.

There's a clue here. If you feel this, you're not doing things you like to do. You'll hear stuff about grounding exercises, visualisations and so on, but root issues are much more about how you are living.

Make a list of the things you can do that
a) physically ground you; exercise etc
b) link you to your community, friends, family
c) plug you in to your life and your enjoyment of it; what practical things do you like to do, play an instrument, learn a language, learn a martial art, etc.

All these things help anchor you in the physical world and in your life. Root issues are, imho, the hardest to sort out with meditation or healing. They need action, you, doing stuff that gets you living, before it passes you by.
