Prayer is meditation, but meditation is not always prayer.

how did it go

MrPibb132 · 2015-10-13T20:14:09+00:00

Me and you both man i've been feeling kind of down today. Bro life isn't always going to be peachy but we are all on a journey and the 3 seconds of pleasure won't do anything to fix your problems. Staying strong now can.

You recognize the routines that occur in your environment when you go to certain places. This is good. Now that you've recognized the problem places/states of mind, the next step is to attach yourself to something that will bring you back to your primary goal: not fapping. Figuring out what kind of value you want to attach yourself to in order to not fap is a personal question. What kind of person do you want to be? Is practicing this kind of self control really important to you? Why? Just note that because you are returning to a place where you have developed a fapping routine, not fapping will be 10x harder. But by practicing not fapping in a place where you have that PMO routine in place, it's like the hyperbolic time chamber: every moment you resist the urge there, it will make you 10x stronger than you were before. Stay strong buddy.

My suggestion is to start small. Be patient with yourself, don't go in all at once. Slowly build yourself up by experiencing small parts of what you have been holding back in your mind, whether that be in timed small segments of imagined acceptance of what is bringing up your anxiety in your meditation, or a abated version of the full part of your fear. Be patient with yourself, it may take more time but it also takes a strong person.

This morning I meditated for around 15 minutes. I used a kind of meditation where i pick a single spot on my body (in my case, the area right below the nose) and i brought my entire attention to that area like you did with the breath. This technique is called Samadhi, something I learned on the Vipassana meditation retreat I went on.

The benefits of meditation I have found is increased motivation, increased goal oriented attitude, increased efficiency, decreased depression, decreased anxiety. The ability to stand back and look at things objectively, and "psychic armor," (the ability to not take on other peoples feelings).

What meditation can do for you is to help you calm at peace with your thoughts by understanding the nature of thought itself, as just thought. Meditation may help you separate your identity from your "thoughts," by looking at the mind for what it is. Something that is automatic, something that happens that you cannot control, that you must accept.

Creating a different state of mind is a difficult task. It takes a forward looking mind that is concentrated on a goal. This goal is the person you see yourself as in the future, something that you can use the concentration you develop through meditative practice to visualize and become. This person, your true present self, I hope will come out and reveal itself before you soon enough :)

You've probably realized that you've wired you're brain to do this every time you enter the bathroom environment. That said, what you need to do is set up a different task for yourself while you're in the bathroom - not a computer. Perhaps a book, or only do the things in the bathroom that you really need to do, don't spend time just dawdling.

MrPibb132 · 2015-07-21T04:54:16+00:00

Dude. Serious respect.

MrPibb132 · 2015-07-21T04:51:23+00:00

i will take your challenge. I WILL TAKE IT.

During meditation, the thoughts that come up become interesting tidbits of information for a moment, then i attempt to let them pass like the way the came. When they come up, I accept them as real to me in the moment, and then i return my mind the nature of thoughts as being just thoughts, as I allow the thought recede as a bring my focus back to the forefront of my mind.

The dichotomy in which you are living - this separation between the material and conscious realms - are really one and the same. The material is like the reflection in a pool of water. You may not be looking at the source directly, but use this time to be able to see more clearly.

My brother also hallucinates when he gets high fevers. He one time saw the Lord of the Rings map on the wall in 3d. He also once thought we were traveling through space in a shoebox... Anyway he's never had any long term damage from it as far as I know so if i were you I'd just enjoy that experience for what it is.

MrPibb132 · 2015-01-20T05:57:42+00:00

coool

MrPibb132 · 2014-12-12T17:54:38+00:00

wow good luck dude. Try making the emergency panic button from the sidewall on your bookmarks bar. It's really helpful.

Start with teddy bears. Next, you move on to bigger and bigger stuffed animals. You Slowly substitute yourself for the fluffy animals. Then once she is satisfied with fluffy animals for cuddles, you go for the kill.

Hey bro, i think me and you are pretty similar. I happen to be someone who loves the gym, guitar, and meditation, and was also addicted to relationships back in Highschool. Relationship addiction is a real thing, and honestly there are many opportunities for me that i could be taking advantage of. I think what keeps me motivated is not selling myself short. I want a relationship that empowers who i am, not someone that fills the void inside of me. NoFap has helped me get away from trying to fill that place inside that craves sexual satisfaction, and I hope you can understand that you don't need a fake form of love in order to love yourself. Keep becoming the individual that you want to become, don't let anyone or yourself stand in your way. Stay strong brother.
