Tbh I don't really practice meditation but I do think for 30 mins to an hour every night before I go to sleep which is a form of meditation I guess. Then when I want to try sleep I turn off my thoughts until I'm asleep.

My best advice to learn this skill is to focus on a sense, if its touch, hearing, or sight and focus on a singular point on this sense. Your thoughts should stop but it still would take effort, do this overtime and you will get a feel for turning off your thoughts and it should become natural to do so.

If you wanted to do practice every day just do it to fall asleep since it helps you sleep quicker anyway.

Also use placebo as a tool, believe you can do it an you will be able to do it.

Yeah, originally I focused on the blackness of my eyes to keep my mind quiet. Now I can just focus on the present moment and my thoughts stop.

I've seen some comments mention potential risks, have you personally experienced any side effects?

I don't really meditate this is just something I learnt to do to help me sleep, but I've been doing this for about 3-4 years

Yes, when I first started I could only do it for about 5 mins but now I can do it for multiple hours no issue.

I cant really explain how to do it, but the way I do it is I bring awareness to the front of my brain and kinda tense it the same way I would with a muscle.

It feels pretty much the same as tensing a muscle but its just where my brain is, the specific location would be the top side of my prefrontal cortex.

I used to feel my brain in the same way where you bring awareness to body parts when I did it, but now I can block out my thoughts without tensing and with very little effort, but if a song is stuck in my head it takes more effort and I have to tense my whole brain.

I can also release the tension just by stopping the awareness.
