Meditation Questions

Hi everyone, 
I wanted to post about a positive meditation challenge I created. I'm a doctor in clinical psychology and wanted to make meditations that were positive-minded. You can find them on youtube with this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4tZ_ujwOjo

They are also available on spotify and apple podcast "21 Day Positive Mindfulness Meditation Challenge." This podcast has over 250,000 downloads and was started in April.

Today, while I was sitting in meditation (with my eyes closed) I felt for a solid five minutes like I was on a roller coaster. That I was being pushed to the left as we went through a turn and then somwhat back as we went up a hill, etc. But I was completely stationary and unmoving. That turn was actually intense enough that I found myself cursing quietly as it "happened".
This wasn't the first time I've had such strange sensations (probably once a month one will come up--I've had my head floating on the ceiling, riding the teacup ride at Disneyland, etc) nor do I think it's a problem. (I've certainly heard more than a little testimony to strange sensations when sitting from other meditators.)
My biggest question is just: any advice? How have you worked with it? What was your experience like? Do I take any meaning from it?

We are looking for 10 people to review our new course worth $99. It is about ways to relax and perform, and has the potential to help thousands of people with stress management.
Would you like to be one of the reviewer? In return, you will get the course for free and access to our exclusive club.

I'm not even sure how to rate meditation sessions on a scale of 1-10, much less figure out what to say abou them. What are other people doing?

Anyone know how to change my log-in name on this site?  Do I have to set up another account?  I don't know how my name (NEBULABUFF) got capitalized  as it shows up in small letters on my log-in screen.  I mean, it just looks weird being the only capitalized name on the list.

Anyone know what those little up and down arrows next to each question are supposed to do?

Anyone know how to clear the 'Notifications' tab?

So what does it mean? Any particularly helpful definitions?

Hi there, recently I've been practicing meditation like daily. And I feel fresh and brain dumped after. I do use zafu cushions for meditation. Its so comfortable for me.

Chair? or on the floor with Pillow? No pillow?
I have sat in a chair with pillow behind my back for years because I thought cross legged on the floor uncomfortable. The danger is getting sleepy.  But lately I have bben trying sitting on a pillow on the floor with the legs loosely crossed. It is called Bermese position. Much easier than half lotus and lotus.  I find it keeps me more alert and able to relax more deeply without falling asleep.  I ordered a zafu cushion and am eager to try it.

Hey All,
I've been practising meditation for roughly a year now, I've been able to get up to 20 minutes a day. I've experimented with different types of meditations using apps like headspace, calm, 10% happier, 1giantmind. Recently I've been doing mostly single point focus meditations, where I just use a timer and focus on my breath for 20 minutes, and I've been feeling very focused and ready to go after the meditation session is done. But I tend to have a problem with daydreaming afterward. It seems like I tend to focus more on daydreaming about goals I have, instead of being in the present moment and focusing on my work for the day after my meditation practice. And I also feel like my threshold for patience has decreased. For example, if I go to a coffee shop and I'm standing in line, and I see the cashier taking orders slowly, it'll bug me more now than in the past prior to doing meditation.

 

Does anyone have some suggestions for what could be causing this? Is this something other people have experienced as well? And if so, what have you done to help fix these issues?

hey guys my name sarah and i was wondering if anyone is having any problems with mediation or manifesting i wanna know if i can help.

Hi everyone,
I would like to share some of the things I use for keeping my mind in a meditative state.
I would read books, one of my favorite is called "The Science of Mind Management" by a Swami. This really helped me to react differently and disciplined the mind.
Most recently, my friend recommended "Zen Habits" to me that basically teaches traditional ways of mind calmness by doing yoga and also helps you become One technically with yourself.
I think it has been working for me, I started a month ago, and I do recognize changes in my behavior, reactions to situations that occur in life and I hope that by sharing this, you may also experience a similar benefit. Thanks all.
Here is the link to my most recent interest of having a calm mind - https://tinyurl.com/3e3nmzme

Hey everyone!
I have been meditating for a while now, and I'm really starting to enjoy it. I have been struggling (and I am still struggling a bit) with anxiety issues and panic attacks. When I first learned about meditation, I thought it would be nothing for me, but meditation can really help me get calm.
What really helps for me is listening to the right music and drinking a cup of tea before I start my sessions.
Now I am dedicated to creating my own meditation music, I even started publishing my work. If you're curious about my work, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dfj-LRUias&t=1297s. Please let me know what you think, I am passoinate to create more in the future.
Lots of love,
Sarah

Hey my name is Wesle Lin.

Discover The Ancient Secrets To Lead A Life Of Balance, Calm & Infinite . 

Are you sick and tired of living an empty yet increasingly hectic modern day life?
If you wish to lead a simpler life and dig deep within yourself to awaken your true life purpose then this could be the most interesting news you could ever come across.
You are about to discover the Ancient Arts of self-discovery in order to be more mindful and grounded while attracting the abundance you deserve.
By mastering this ancient art from the early 6th Century, you can finally become truly extraordinary with balance in all areas of life: physically, intellectually, spiritually and emotionally
But first, let me ask you this...

I've meditated each day for the last 3 days and plan to continue this as long as I benefit. I just want to know how can I tell if I'm meditating correctly? I've watched a lot of YouTube videos from monks and swamis and have been doing my best to figure out what works for me.
What I've been doing is using the "Aum" chant and form meditation. This means that I continue to focus on the sound "Aum" and an image that I create in my mind. This image is sometimes an "instrument " that I don't know the name of and haven't seen before but it appears in my mind and vibrates while I chant "mmmmmmm" then when I inhale on the silent syllable of the chant, the instrument becomes still until the next time I chant "mmmmmmmm".
 When the image becomes less sharp or disappears, I know then my mind is wandering or thoughts are intruding so I refocus on the sound and try to bring the image into clearer focus as well.
I have already noticed a difference in my state of being, mood, and mind just from using this technique for 3 days. My longest session was earlier today when I meditated 10 minutes. I plan to try 30 minutes later this evening, after most of my last meal is hopefully finished digesting.
I looked to meditation as a way to heal from intrusive and obsessive thoughts that have been creating a lot of problems for me in my life. Exploring the YouTube videos and hearing different monks and swamis talk about the mind and consciousness had also been very helpful in shifting my perspective. I feel like the meditation is already helping me immensely to control my mind and refocus on natural healthy and calm thoughts when the intrusive and obsessive thoughts come now. It's almost as if these thoughts are floating by me now, like leaves blowing in the wind on the other side of a window. Whereas before I tried any meditation, I could not seem to distance myself from the thoughts, it was as if they were actually a part of me. But now I see they aren't.  I know that meditation is a journey and that I'm just beginning, but for now, this is my strategy and I plan to build on it to grow in the practice.
Does anyone have any tips or advice for me? I welcome all ideas :)

For anyone struggling with anxiety or depression i found this really helped, its about 30min of rain with some very quiet thunder, it helped me relax while i just lay there.
plus the timer is  great so i don't over do it...its up to you, i just thought it might help.
