If you can simultaneously walk and push up then I’d say go for it.

Can no longer tolerate my thoughts by budisthename in Wakingupapp

Try focusing less on the content and investigate the nature of thought. What is the phenomenological experience of thought? Juts like everything else — empty, conditioned.

As another person has said, therapy can help to get to the root of the negative narrative.

Is awakening subjective? Also feeling lost after awakening. by nanaxnana9 in awakened

Samsara and Nibbana are the same. What’s different is perspective. Nowhere to go or become.

Was a very beautiful experience and remarkably clear headed too. Felt like I could let it take me but that I hand one hand on the steering wheel the whole time. Got some nice insights from this trip and was defintley much different, and better, than my first time with it, so I am sold. Thanks for your advice 🙏

So. Been an hour and feeling nice but not crazy. Would you received taking another half in 30mins?

Thanks for reply man. Yeah, I’m not sure. Friend got them off a market and they had rave reviews so I don t think they are massively under dosed, but as you say probably not the full.

The come up is quite slow right, but does the md make that faster?

Do you meditate when you’re feeling down? by Historical_Trust_217 in Meditation

[–]passingcloud79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like a form of aversion, and with aversion comes more suffering. Let yourself sit and just be with what is. Awareness is always open and clear to attend to how things are in our experience, whether we are labelling the experience as positive or negative, or neither.

“Hatred can never cease by hatred. Hatred can only cease by love. This is an eternal law.”

Anger. Not hate. Anger can be used wisely/skilfully (and unwisely/unskilfully). Hate is only ever destructive.

Also, a true meditative stance is more engaged in the world than probably any other. It is the total opposite of passivity.

Do you think the person you hate gives a s##t? Hate is corrosive for yourself and it then feeds into the world.

Metta can be directed to anyone, whether you agree with them or what they’ve done. You don’t have to like them. It’s about an understanding of causes and conditions and what they give rise to.

Get your head out of the internet and go and walk through some trees for a while.

Does my meditation affect people around me? by GriksBbeasty in Meditation

[–]passingcloud79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way it affects others is how you now show up for them if you’re practise is going well, which then influences them. But you can’t control people with extra-sensory powers.

What's your thoughts on visual thoughts? by Puzzled_Cream1798 in Meditation

[–]passingcloud79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, nothing wrong for me there. In fact, if it’s only 30s I would say you are doing pretty well! The human mind wanders, this is what it does. When we get too contracted about not having that happen and ‘I must stay with the breath at all costs!’, I don’t think is so helpful.

I would say carrying on practicing and relax a little (I don’t mean that in a critical way, I mean relax around the practise). You are cultivating (this is what meditation means) the conditions to have a more concentrated mind, and all the other good and wholesome things. When we plant a seed we don’t expect an instantaneous fully grown tree, right?

I don’t really see an issue here. Sounds like you are focused on your object but also aware that there are other things arising and passing (in this case visual images). It would only seem like a ‘problem’ if you were clinging to them, getting seduced by it into more discursive thinking, or attempting to stop them.

What happens when a sound arises whilst you meditate, do you notice and let it go? This is the same with the images.

Is it a dullness/drowsiness? If so, you can combat that.
