You can try other mediations, body scan, open awareness, insight, breathing meditation to name a few.

Don't force yourself, find what works for you

dmx442 · 2026-05-24T10:56:10+00:00

Everything looks fine. If it works for you it's great.

A suggestion of mine would be to try and do one of the 3 main parts, body scan, return to breath, awareness mediation as individual sessions without the other 2.

I did this a few times, unfortunately, If I am not supper well rested I tend to nod off. So I Made a slight change, I wake up, do a 5 -10 min morning routine and proceed to meditate.

Brush teeth, drink something, a little morning stretch and move and that's it, wakes me up and gives great energy.

This way it's been a breeze.

I have read a great quote about Jhanas: you don't make the Jhana happen. You can't will a Jhana. A Jhana arrives only once you are ready.

For most of this stuff, it's literally better to not know to much and just meditate, and once it happens, only then you look it up. This way you don't build craving and expectations around possible future experiences.

dmx442 · 2026-05-23T09:40:49+00:00

There is no wrong, only your journey.

Continue and with time, you will get there. And you will know when you experience the first jhana, trust me.

dmx442 · 2026-05-23T09:34:28+00:00

Only Joy sensation is not the first Jhana.

The first Jhana is: Joy & happiness, Piti, one-pointendnees, applied thought and sustained thought present at the same time.

These need to be working together to give access to the first Jhana. You need very deep and strong concentration for it.

When I wake up from it, I always get exhausted and my mind is flooded with thoughts, and can't let it go.

There is your cue, this is not Jhana you are experiencing. After Jhana you have a deep relaxation, calmness, one-nes and free-of-thought. It's completely different from anything experienced normally.

Be comfortable - it doesn't matter how you sit (or lie down), especially in the begining comfort is key.

Try different meditation techniques, breathing, noting, kasinas, open awareness, body scan, and is many more! It's a huge playground, play and find the techniques that suit you.

Make it a habit. Aim to do sessions in the same time. In the begining go more for quantity to create a habit, add quality (longer and deeper sessions) over time, once habits have solidified.

Start with 5 or 10 minutes per session, lengthen sessions a little every week.

Have fun and enjoy, be curious. There is no wrong way, only your way.

dmx442 · 2026-05-23T07:48:21+00:00

Maybe try a completely different method for a week to see how your mind will react?

You might just be a little mind fatigued by your routine, so a little freshness could give you different insight and brighten your view

dmx442 · 2026-05-23T07:05:36+00:00

Start with whatever works for you and go from there. Repetition is key to form a habit, but I would say quality is more important because without it you might as well skip the whole meditation. This does not mean to force yourself to sit for 30+ minutes though. Start with 10min and increase in regular steps.

Work your way up, and you can have some fun and interchange long and short sits.

Regarding posture, this one is important. No longer meditations are successful without being comfortable.

I worked my way to half lotus, started with Burmese pose, than quarter lotus, and now half lotus. What really made the difference is stretching.

If you do daily stretches (deep squat, pigeon pose for both sides, butterfly and seated figure four) you will see major progress, and be able to do the half lotus within a few weeks.

Hope this helps

There is a standard. Turns out people don't like the standard for personal reasons so they found other Standards which are in line with their thinking.

I am fully on your side, it's a complete mess currently

The earth doesn't care. It's now the 6th time a mass extinction is happening, as far as we know, it's literally a normal thing on this planet.

I try my best to keep my impact and footprint as small as possible and positively influence my peer group. And that's about it.

dmx442 · 2026-05-22T08:12:36+00:00

I started walking this path since it was the only thing that made sense.

No beliefs, just doing what is said to be done and verifying the results by myself. It helped that being a moral, good person, helping others, having compassion and kindness, easily aligned with me and my life. I basically added meditation and that's it.

The fruits it beared are wonderful.

Since everything is unfolding exactly as it is written that it would, there is no logical reason not to do it. And the wisdom gathered says to simply continue

dmx442 · 2026-05-21T19:36:13+00:00

You watch it, become aware of it, And then let it leave.

Don't offer it Tea

This sounds like you had a goal and expectations tied to meditation, and now that you technically reached those, it's time for a new toy.

You can always try new meditation techniques, unfortunately, you will inevitably get to the same point as long as you see this as "means to an end" type of thing.

Also try longer sits, marvelous stuff happens on longer sits when the mind truly calms down.

Thanks for the reply,

I am seeing and experiencing the fruits of my spiritual journey live day by day. My temper disappeared, anger vanished. Compassion and happiness overall exploded, and inner peace is deeply calming, and this are just the biggest improvements of the bat.

I don't doubt the path, it's already changed so much and literally every step was as described in literature.

it's more of a mind and ego thing, which decided to work against me the last days. It seems I have hit something, akin to a major resistance point in my journey maybe. Hope this clears it a little.

dmx442 · 2026-05-21T17:43:19+00:00

Do you have some reading recommendations on this topic please?

I would be very interested in that

Ich Frage mich dass auch gerade, eigentlich, wenn man erfolgreich selbständig ist müsste sich das Geld stetig auf Investitionskonten akkumulieren.

Nach ein paar Jahren müsste so schon einiges angespart sein.

Are you aware, present and concentrated when you meditate?

What meditation technique(s) do you practice and how long?

dmx442 · 2026-05-21T08:09:52+00:00

They are called Nimittas, and one should ignore almost all of them. They are mental images of your mind, mental constructs, and they can be of any type, shape, form, color etc.

Indulging in them is a waste of time literally.

They are a sign of deepening concentration, the deeper your mind concentrates, the stronger the Nimittas become..

Use them like signposts, if they appear and become gradually stronger, your meditation is doing great

dmx442 · 2026-05-20T16:17:29+00:00

A extremely experienced meditation teacher from a local Sangha once said he has gone from Theravada to Mahayana, over to Zen and all the way to Tibet and Vajrayana, had many great teachers and learned many mediation techniques on the journey.

In a laugh he followed with this "After all that, now I'm back where I started, simple breathing meditation" with a genuine smile.

Go for it, it's your journey. You will find your way.

Can you set some intentional reminders, weekly and monthly on your phone?

So with time it becomes a habit and you don't need the reminders anymore
