Yes, I was raped by hippies, and my parents were hippies in California and they raised me badly and my mom had me in my 40s and I am a subhuman who's high on the spectrum, I live now in Texas and I am homeless, everything which I say or people say in general is a projection of experiences, and by no shape of form humans can form their own opinions which were formed with years of observation and learning

jfl I was laughing at this guy and was being very sarcastic, my parents are from the soviet union, and I am not on the spectrum, nor my mom had me in her 40s, I don't even live in the US and I never spoke with hippies or even saw them IRL, I just have a lot of interest in history and politics

just thinking nothing?

it s connecting with your inner self , feeling your body , feeling your breath , feeling life .
Your attention right now is on a screen , later on it might be on eating , on watching tv , on playing , on chilling , on having sex but you notice how you never stopped for a moment to feel yourself , remember it s mind above body .

Cbt (cognitive behavioral therapy) uses a lot of ideas from meditation and Buddhism too
Everyone (especially highinhib cels and autismcels) should be mindfulness maxxing since there is very little time we have to calm our mind in this stressful age with no breaks often
I can confidently say that i have cured most of my anxiety by mindfulness and once you train your mind it is like a super power of your own tbh

unless you're implying that you've been learning and observing hippies for years, I am going to assume your reply means

Yogis/meditation masters in Indian and China all live past like 100 years old. The physiological benefits are tremendous, but it begs the question: is the improvement in physicality an aftermath of improved mood/mind? Or perhaps that body and mind are homogeneous.

of course it s the aftermath , although living longer isnt the main purpose of meditation it s just one of the benefits that come with it .

add numbers please, i can say stretching "increases height" even if its by 0.01mm just like meditation could 'slow aging' by 3 days

 

[TITUS]

Problem is i never know if im doing it right.

 

[Deleted member 7651]

it s all in the studies you can go read for yourself , your examples are irrelevant no study will ever come to such a conclusions with those non existent changes .

Problem is i never know if im doing it right.

try this because it s the easiest one


it s still a type of meditation as you must focus on feeling your breath and then your body.
it is said you will be overwhelmed with a strong sense of fulfillment similar to those who practice meditatation for years

 

[eduardkoopman]

I was heavy Buddhist for a few years.
I meditated alot in those times.
I even did week long silent retreats, where there was basically no speaking and 6 hours of day of meditations.

As me anything.
About benifits and downsides, from it.

 

[eduardkoopman]

just thinking nothing?

In general it's mostly OBSERVATION practise. Not actively involement practises.
When one tries to do something, like think nothing, Thinking nothing is actually a thought.

It's usually a decent way, to see. That ideas of: free will, and having control over your actions and thoughts is mainly cope.
We are driven by the subconcious processes.
I recall meditation, was a decent way to see and experience. How little (if any) control we have and axcercise.

 

[eduardkoopman]

I fucking hate when hippies are right about something

Not all Westerners meditators are hippies. Most of them are though, and they are also more visible.
there are also non hippy meditators, but you will never be able to tell. In the Zen; you have more and mostly non hippy mediators.
It's in Zen, almost more militairy like, I recall.

 

[eduardkoopman]

this is kinda the hippy way of describing mediations.

More down to earth, I would say meditation is.
1. Attention + Concentration practise of the brain. training your brain to focus on 1 thing of choice.
2. Observation practise ot the brain. training your brain to observe what is going on in thoughts, or feelkings, ro body movements.
That's all it really is. Nothing more. The extra stuff imo, is kinda religuous or other kind of copes trying to explain brain and body and biological processes in a super natural cope way.

 

[eduardkoopman]

Problem is i never know if im doing it right.

LOL @ beleiving you can meditate a wrong way.
There exist no way, to meditate wrong.

 

[eduardkoopman]

Yogis/meditation masters in Indian and China all live past like 100 years old.

Not really. they do get on average older, and stay in general more healthy and fit longer.
They can often have a much more healthy lifestyle, than the average Joe. Their food intale is often good. And they may move enough. Plus they don't stress maxx like regular people do. plus they are often not allowed to do the unhealthy shit that normal peoples do: like: alcohol alot, drugs use, etc..,

The physiological benefits are tremendous,

I can agree on it. from my experience it helps to feel a bit better, and mentally more stable

but it begs the question: is the improvement in physicality an aftermath of improved mood/mind?

I think it both works together at the same time. And feed of each other. When you feel better in head, you will life more healthy lifestyle in general, and thus get better health.
also stress, is fucking up most pople also into bad habits and thus bad health

Or perhaps that body and mind are homogeneous.

that's for sure true,

 

[eduardkoopman]

it is said you will be overwhelmed with a strong sense of fulfillment similar to those who practice meditatation for years

That's the type of spiritual cope things, I heaed spiritual coper say.

While the real answer is: "feeling good, for a moment"

sense of Fullfillment, is kinda spiritual copers termonolgies. To give more weight to the reality; which is: "feelling good"

It's like how some people say, with sex orgasms they got some supernatural experience or whatever. While the reasl answwer is, you just fealt good because of hormanones and other bodily and brain activities.

 

[TITUS]

LOL @ beleiving you can meditate a wrong way.

Lifting weights in the gym is the meditation of the west. Add stretching and foam rolling and you are already meditating more than a monk.

the feel good is by hormones true however it s not what you focus on while meditating , that s just what comes with it like all the other benefits i typed above , orgasm and drugs are a whole different thing , that s body having control over mind it s not the same thing at all .

btw

>buddhist
>spiritual coper

Truly you have learnt nothing about buddhism if you believe your way is the right one and use it as an excuse to discredit someone else , remember what the mana is .
Buddhism doesnt have a clear stance on whether spirits exist or not in fact there are buddhists like the ones in Tibet who do believe in spirits , it s up to the individual .

No it's not, lol. Psychopaths don't meditate. It would be pointless.

 

[eduardkoopman]

True, any activity can be meditation like. With attention.
But also, ain't no one training for 4 hours per day, so monks meditation mogg

 

[eduardkoopman]

feeling is observation

How people can say such things?

In my opinion.
Feeling = feeling.
Observation = observing something.

 

[eduardkoopman]

feeling is observation

the feel good is by hormones true however it s not what you focus on while meditating

Why, "it's not what you focus on during mediation"????

In my opinion.
A person can focus on anything he likes, during meditation.
Limiting coping, to exclude certain things from focal point.

 

[Deleted member 6403]

No it's not, lol. Psychopaths don't meditate. It would be pointless.

What? Monks and psychopaths have similar brain structure

 

[Deleted member 12002]

Monks achieve what psychopaths are born with. So I guess you're right. I'd rather just be born with it though if that was something I was after.

what are the downsides?

 

[eduardkoopman]

what are the downsides?

Personal downsides, or things that can be considered downsides depending on how you look at.
They were, for me:


meditation downsides
1. developed some backpain, from all the sitting on medatation cushion
2. during long retreat meditation, my brain/thoughts became quit "obsesses" on 1 thing. became a bit petty because of it.
3. bordedom is there during gig along mediation, which is also a bit of a annoying feeling
4. spedning alot on time on this. No time available for looksmaxing for example or other stuffs.

Buddhism downsides
1. ultimate goal is an unachieveable vague concept.
2. giving everything away, so eneding up with nothing. Giving everything away is a very important practise.
3. minimalism. So you own little, the less the better
4. persuing of desires, common human cravings, are not good. so celibacy, eating limited, etc.
5. esignificant efforts into looks is vain and undesirabele behavior.
6. gotta be vegan basically, when you have control over what you eat. If you are 100% begging monk, than ofcourse so accpet any food that is given to you. Butif you are not monk, you have to be vegan basically.
