Any of you tried meditation?

Anybody here tried and stuck with meditation? Curious to see if it's good cope or not.

Yes, it's immensely powerful stuff.

I've tried, but then I'm forced to relive experiences of my past.

No bueno.

I hate to be that douche, but you're doing it wrong.

When you've really "done it," there's nothing there. No past or future. Just you and breathing.

You're not being a douche, although I already knew that the goal is to have no thoughts.

Tried, yes. Succeeded with it, no. kek
Like really, I have to stand still for a long while and not think of shit or move. Not gonna happen.

No, but I've tried masturbation.

You avatar is the best I've ever seen. The devil filling you with hatred as the angel blissfully sleeps away as if nothing concerning is happening.

I do metta meditation 3-4 times a weed. I used to do mindful meditation every day but it made me feel weird

I read a book on it years ago and it was better than a lot of information I found.

For one thing, don't sit cross-legged, just sit in a straight backed chair you can relax your body in. Then count to ten for each breath, in and out.

1 in through the nose
2 out through the mouth
repeat after you hit ten

eyes closed, of course, and don't hyperventilate, just take relaxing breaths, like sighs almost

eventually you just start thinking about those breaths, and they get so slow, then you just kinda... blank.

It's really more about taking calm, even breaths.

Spirituality is a placebo, it won't work for me because i know what it truly is, by simply not believing in it, it does,'t work for me.

 

[iblamemyself]

Yep. Quite ineresting. You get a fuzzy feeling if you do it right but you must relax and focus or it will fade.

I can really recommend getting into mantras. It's more relaxing than smoking and healthier at that. For example the Hare Krishna mantra.

It relaxes me.
