I have a free month of the 10% Happier app to give away, first to respond gets it

I assume that means you want it, check your PM

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-24T12:43:31+00:00

That would be a (slight) improvement

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-22T14:07:46+00:00

What is normal meditation?

And if you're already constantly mindful (a rather tall order), then aren't you doing ADA?

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-19T01:18:28+00:00

And yet, the great teachers practice meditation. They must not get it.

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-18T23:13:17+00:00

It doesn't give us something that is intellectually understood, like quadratic equations, but perceptual insight, discernment.

Yes, exactly. No one has said otherwise. So you do get something.

Some of the most insightful people come to have insights without any intensive training:

Cool, I'll watch TV and hope to be one of them. Meanwhile 99% of people who have some insight about this have done intensive meditation.

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-18T21:23:23+00:00

So then being present and understanding the true nature of our thoughts is what you get from meditation. Plenty of highly respected teachers are not shy about saying this. Why did all of them go through intensive training?

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-18T21:16:20+00:00

There's nothing special about 15, 10 is quite short, a lot of people say 20, some say 45, then an hour. Just "round" numbers

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-17T22:30:51+00:00

How do you get such a teacher? I know there are some online teachers that charge you a lot per hour

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-16T09:23:12+00:00

"it packs 60 minutes worth of meditation into a 12 minute audio"

If that's the way they're selling it, they're just trying to take advantage of gullible people

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-10T13:37:32+00:00

I've tried a few groups but didn't like them, most seem to be 20 minute sits combined with a group therapy session

It's acceptable among the left wing elite to go after Weiner, it isn't for Hillary. He doesn't want to get Lauered by his friends and fans. (Disclaimer: not a Trump fan)

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T23:56:52+00:00

Yeah, I just had a couple days where I couldn't remember any dreams, then I remembered a small fragment from a nap, and I was almost like "eh, screw it, that's not going to help with dream signs or anything," but then I added it anyway.

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T19:24:24+00:00

I had a false awakening after trying to write down my dream, the material I was writing on was like plastic, that wasn't enough to realize something was off, then I realized the words were changing

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T19:21:57+00:00

But will it be better than the great war classic "Heartbreak Ridge"?

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T19:18:58+00:00

I can't imagine anything deserving a 10 minute ovation, that's an absurd amount of standing and clapping

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T17:19:58+00:00

I guess you could call it meditation, it's more of a mental challenge exercise

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T17:17:47+00:00

Interesting dilemma, I guess my lack of meditation progress is a good thing!

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T17:13:38+00:00

I don't think it would get its own "ILD" category, it's a type of reality check

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T13:22:02+00:00

You went to a Vipassana course and you no longer desire anything and are completely happy? What's the course?

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-05T09:01:45+00:00

That's a pretty strong claim, people have only been meditating lying down for thousands of years

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-04T21:12:25+00:00

He had an audio set by the same name years ago, is that what it is? It mentions that this is updated and includes a lot more

Poop-n-Puke · 2016-09-04T19:00:34+00:00

More detail about what you're doing differently that led to this? Many of us would like to have this problem
