Its basically emptying your mind and focussing on nothing isn't it?

>>18741190
No, dont suppress your thoughts just observe them without interacting with them, and you should focus on your breathing

Thats only one way to meditate, after a while you can do chakra meditation, or skin breathing meditation, you can even practice elemental magic

Meditation, when used correctly, can modify and alter the state of consciousness. While it is true that you retards can sit still and clear your mind to relax yourself, you're only dipping your toes in the water. If you can't even clear your mind and enjoy the chemical processes that occur, you need a fucking teacher or you have ADHD.

Similarly to chemicals that are released in the brain while you are very happy, imaginative, fearful, or while you are asleep, your brain can produce large quantities of these chemicals through altered states. Meditation is not these altered states, it is merely what 'drives' you to them. These states are literally drug-like, carrying extreme emotion and sometimes even forms of hallucinations. This process is through the 'shutting off' of senses, similar to sensory deprivation. Ever heard of people tripping ass in deprivation tanks? You can do that while sitting your lardy fat ass on your desk chair, I promise.

When you understand how your mind chooses to release these feelings, and when you realize that in a meditative state (a 'blank slate' so to say) you can cause your mind to release whatever you like, maybe you can also stop shitposting on anonymous cocksucker forums.

>b-but that's just a placebo!
No shit wise guy. Your mind will believe whatever the fuck is wants with nearly no limits if you allow it. Except the chemicals that are released into your system because of those beliefs are very, very real.

Poor OP, stupid as fuck

Here's a study proving that the jhanas have specific effects on the body's reward chemicals that are different from napping: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/np/2013/653572/

"Reward systems" is probably a better term than "reward chemicals"

>>18741149
wait what? You talked about napping but then you ask about meditation as if you are assuming religious people are saying napping/sleeping is meditation.

Im very confused but either way, there have been scientific studies done on meditation. So don't open your mouth until you have fully explored supporting and non-supporting evidence.

What he means to say is that he was expecting some crazy mystical paranormal change to occur within his body or mind. When that didn't happen, he claimed no significant change without any actual measurements.

So what he is actually saying is, "I did it, i didn't notice anything, therefore I can conclude with 100% confidence that nothing is going on based on no evidence."

Of course, friend, religious people would NEVER, EVER say such a low-bro activity like napping is anything like meditation or touch this subject within a ten-foot pole.
I, op, did it, I said meditation is in fact like napping, and by doing so I unraveled their entire scheme and blew meditation shills the fuck out.
For them, any less-than-stellar outcome in meditation is because you did it wrong and meditation is flawless. That's when they give you their long pamphlet on the ""right"" way to meditate. Don't fall for the scam, kid.

What are you gaining by posting in this fashion?

Yeah, and every time I play the guitar it sounds like crap! Jimi Hendrix is a con artist!

>>18741456
Do you do this every time someone asks you a serious question? I'm trying to treat you like a normal person but you are coming off as an passive aggressive know it all who can't be bothered to be misinterpreted.

>>18741456
Have you considered that the meditation meme could be a coverup for a true and more powerful meme? Meditation is just to throw off the scent :^) all the religions of the world are in on it too, as far back as written history of meditation goes.

>>18741456
So you are saying that religious people do indeed think sleeping=meditation? Or are you just saying that to make religious people look dumber than you?
