Hey /x/ how do I get into meditation? I trust you guys more

>attempt to lose focus on your thoughts and instead focus on slow, deep breathing
The trick isn't to aggresively try and empty your mind, just to observe your thoughts passing by like you're a neutral party. Eventually they'll dissolve on their own. Don't reply to this post.

Has anyone else here experienced a strange numbing sensation in the forehead while meditating? For me, it begins at the left temple and spreads halfway across the face. I can kind of make it spread downwards by focusing on other parts of the body.

The trick is to actually do it. With practice you'll learn how.

Yea his is what people mean when they talk about energy/prana/chi/etc. The ineffable internal sensation of vibrations. Learn how to work it, learn about your chakras and shit

Chant the mahamantra and think of Lord Krsna.
