Meditation does not work for me. I keep doing it for longer and longer sessions (10 minutes is my max here - I am not yet guru/yogi level) and I try doing different things (focussing on my breath, having no thoughts, letting thoughts pass through me) and I very little out of it.
I get mild relaxation and no enlightenment beyond the realization that 10 minutes is a long ass amount of time. Am I doing something wrong or does this stuff just not work for some people?
Finally got around to meditating for 30 minutes. Most I had ever done was a 10. First 2/3rds were tough. Last 1/3rd was interesting. I started to “not give a fuck” and find my existence amusing. I started rocking my body around which made the experience more pleasant. Looked up
at the sky and it was white (eyes closed) and then it kinda turned a different color which was fun. Don’t feel enlightened in any way. Life is same as before. I feel like I could cut straight to the detachment “meditation” without the 20 minutes of suffering. Double checked. Yes
, I can. I don’t think my genetics are cut out for this stuff. I like yoga a lot but meditation just kinda sucks. May try again but hitting 30 minutes or more does not seem to be in my future. /fin
Same here. I do wonder if meditation is like one of those things that seemingly everyone claims to do but nobody actually does.
There are definitely people out there who bullshit about it. For sure. That said, there have got to be people who are genetically differently predisposed to it or something. The thought of doing it for an hour is farrrrr from attractive to me, but people do it all day!
Two questions for you: 1. You're an introvert...on Twitter? 2. You're actually not old right? At first I thought you were old, but after reading a bunch of your tweets, I think you're not older than like 40.
what were you hoping that it did if it 'worked'?
1. some enlightenment 2. some crazy visions during meditation 3. to feel measurably different after doing it I don't get any of these.
The benefits (focus, calm) for me kick in around 20 minutes. Sam Harris’s book is a good guide to using meditation to better understand you mind.
Thanks. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it for an hour or something
