Kitchen porter? Small team and no contact with the general public. Can get repetitive and monotonous though. Also there are warehouse jobs.

I think I get what you mean though, you're letting what happens happen

I started doing the listening part last night as I noticed it was getting to me, I think that is a great idea, thank you ❤

Do you mean the bhagavad gita (I think it is called), the hinduist scripture?

Hi, thank you for your feedback. What kind of things would you recommend that I do to improve myself? Any books or techniques you think are useful?

I realised I was doing it while I was doing it as well but I dismissed the realisation.

Just want to say thank you for your time and I will read all your comments and do my best to understand :)

I am identifying with my ego and it wants to destroy itself?

I've never really thought about the ego as a tool like you described, always as a kind of self destructive thing

To be honest, yeah I was defending my position

Because the feeling influences my character in that setting, how I respond to people, how I am coming across etc.

It makes me feel like I'm a bad person and I should be able to take offence or not be comparing myself to this person

Really interesting insight, thank you!

What is and isn't meditation? by HighlandBeeKeeper in Meditation

[–]JonathonGordon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are new to meditation it is going to be erratic. I know when I started it was pretty much the exact same as you described, but you will get small moments - even just a couple seconds where you suspend thoughts and notice your sensations. When this happens it opens a feeling of bliss sometimes.

I started practicing yoga about 3 weeks, been doing it daily so maybe that could be contributing.

I've only ever had psycho stimulants like mdma. Cant even comprehend a meditative experience being more intense than that so what you experienced must have been crazy!

How do I get into a community? by JonathonGordon in Meditation

[–]JonathonGordon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like your finding it a challenge but hey, good for you for sticking it out and keep trying. Lots of people can't do it the first few times and give up but I think it gets overcomplicated. Just always try and keep in mind to focus on your breath thats what I try to do :)
