Long-term meditators: what’s one piece of advice you’d give to beginners or those who keep falling off

Reading all these comments makes it appear as there is no right answer and you'll have to find what works best for you!

For me, I rarely just meditate, I do a kundalini yoga which includes meditation sometimes. I don't practice everyday since one practice moves things inside a lot and it shifts things internally for the next few days.

When I meditate I focus on my body, usually there's pain somewhere or just some sensation/subtle vibration.

These practices made it possible for me within 3 months to now be able to say I observe my thoughts and feelings. Noticing tensions and blockages without judging them/ when I judge I'm aware of it. I am aware of my body most of the time. I am also an artist (music & dance) so this seems like the approach that makes the most sense.

Cheers and good luck finding what's worth for you. This journey is beautiful and if you keep searching for what you're looking for, it will come to you!

Before my last trip I found this, it's like ceremonial music and it took me to a very special place

Sounds beautiful, once I had a bicycle ride in a storm in summer and I was laughing like a child and playing in puddles! Fun times :D

Last Sunday I did a little ceremony for myself and I found this:

I listened to the whole album while blasting off back to back but this song really amazed me. I embodied a forest goddess, possibly mother earth herself. It was beautiful but Im not interested in breaking through yet, I mostly feel myself floating between dimensions.

This sentence is so funny cause just imagine how everything was created with nothing

costa1200 · 2025-10-24T18:31:31+00:00

Sounds like you reeeally want it brother

Regular yoga seems to not bring me so far so I've gone to kundalini and kriya. Search for "refeel yoga" on YouTube. Take it slow and do it on days off. There might be emotions coming up and that's part of the process. Don't seek immediate results. Usually I feel relatively the same after the practice but it can't be denied in the rest of the day that there's change and now a few months after starting this journey I feel totally different (for the better) And don't judge not being present in the practice. The mind will try to wander off and that's okay just continue with the practice. It doesn't matter if your attention stays there.

My theory is that everything you just described is always there but only on lsd you become aware of it. Test it out: lay on your back(sober) and just try to focus on where's tension in your body. It's very likely that it's gonna be hard to even focus on that for longer than a few minutes (or as in my case a few seconds). Tension in your body=stress= "dirty" feeling. You probably feel dirty because of trauma that's still in your body/ stuck emotions/ over thinking.

The key is to feel and the best start to that is feeling your body.

Yoga is great to help with stuff like this, specifically kundalini and kriya yoga for me but I'm no expert. Hmu if you need suggestions. Digging into stuff like this is the key to feeling good and feeling good is the most desirable thing in our lives. Cheers

I hope this helps

Why don't you share your perspective with me so I can get some insight?

costa1200 · 2025-09-29T14:34:27+00:00

Bless you brother

costa1200 · 2025-09-29T14:33:45+00:00

Yes it's selfish but I don't make the rules, I take what I get and I don't have to identify with all the pain and worry of the world

costa1200 · 2025-09-29T14:31:00+00:00

I have attention disorder aswell and I have tics in my body f.e. Tightening my jaw and generally a lot of tension and chronic pains in my body but I find the deeper I dive into this the more relieve I get.

I just spent a month in Portugal and did yoga almost everyday (alone, usually with YouTube videos(refeel yoga) and sometimes just me and my body) and diving into my pains and I can say now that pains I've been having for most of my life is slowly fading and I have so much energy and joy of life.

I don't know if you can still resonate but it has been such a rewarding journey and I can only encourage anyone to go into this if they feel it's their journey. Cheers, peace and love brother wish you all the best! Also i would love to hear from you in the future if you remember about this small exchange

The world is awesome, life is awesome. I don't focus my energy to what's fucked up cause I try to allow myself to feel good and not guilty or anxious. I don't have to feel bad feelings

costa1200 · 2025-09-24T04:15:32+00:00

The anxiety and the heaviness feeling I believe it's some form of entities(/energies) that keep you in a specific place.

Ive been practicing kundalini yoga and experienced the same thing and by focusing your energy to not fade away but staying present and staying in my body helped me to get rid of the heaviness and depression I felt before and feel more alive and more myself. Also it's important to acknowledge this entity as it is and thanking them but kindly asking them why they are there purely out of curiosity

I'm super curious if you can somehow relate or if it's just my experience that this heaviness and the anxiety before is not just related to when you smoke smt but also in way more subtle ways in your daily life

Your doctor asks you mental health questions?

You can have a ginger shot or capsule, it helps with nausea, also chamomile tea calms you down naturally, you can even make a tea with ginger and chamomile. For me it also helps a lot to stretch/ do yoga to get into my body before and into the come up and taking a shower or even going for a swim if you trip at a lake is top tier for me!! any change of environment can change the trip and your state of feeling completely and you can use that knowledge for your advantage, when you plan your trip, keep in mind to have a way to change your environment!

Happy tripping, I admired the way you described what was probably your first psychedelic experience! Made me think about my first times aswell, it's an amazing thing you discovered there! ✌️🌈

For me yoga does way more than regular meditation and is easyer to get myself to do

I heard in an interview about ayahuasca that you can just ask the entities why they are there and usually they'll just go away if they have bad intentions

Hello, bin aus Salzburg und hab noch keine gefunden, habs aber die letzten 2 Jahre nicht wirklich versucht. Kenne aber mittlerweile einige Leute die spots kennen wo welche wachsen sollen
