MEDITATE
Wizzies, meditation is highly famous but seldom practiced seriously. The results from meditation takes time. It's like exercise. During the first day it will be hard to stay still and concentrate, but as you practice it, your body and mind start getting used to it. The benefits are immense. To mention a few:
>it improves concentration a lot
>it quiet your inner monologue, reducing it to 96% or even 100% depending on how well you are praticing it
>it increases the size of your pre-frontal-cortex which is responsible for making decisions
>increases gaba, which is the chemical that makes you calm
>it sharpens your sense making colors look brighter and sounds sound more vivid
>it gives you insights
>it makes you live in the present moment, since you are not ruminating the past or thinking about the future
>it reduces anxiety
And if you want to make it more meaningful, I advise practicing Buddhist teachings, even if you don't indetify as a Buddhist (that's irrelevant). You can still continue being a Christian and still follow Buddha's teachings for a happier and sober life.
I speak from experience. I've been meditating for 5 months almost everyday and now I'm starting to reap the fruits of my efforts. If I could dedicate my life 100% to spirituality and become a monk, I would, but where I live there's barely any monasteries. I don't mind though. I'm happy. I could be happy anywhere as long as I could practice meditation and the teachings of the great Buddha.
Just do it. Do it today or tonight. If silence is a problem, put on a whine noise sound on your headphones (I do that). Do it for 20 minutes. If it's too hard for you, reduce it to 10, but no less. You first session is always special. You will get out of there thinking: "what the hell, this shit really works".
Good luck, guys!

Franz Bardon has a good guide which I'd like to follow again, I started the meditation (emptying the mind of all thought and influence) practice but I kept falling asleep, it's difficult to empty the mind actually
It's been a decade since I've tried the meditation, the ultimate goal is to actually leave the body and to astral project, but it's actually dangerous as your cord could be severed during this which is probably why I haven't attempted it again, but the little I've tried has improved my life since then, I used to be an alcoholic and would probably have died long ago had I not found his teachings

>>227799Never gave it a serious thought, so, what does it boils down to essentially? Focusing on your breath?

>>227801There are several different methods. Focusing on your body sensations, on your breath, on sounds and so on and so forth. The method that works best for me is stillness meditation. Get in the lotus position and focus on your breath. It's easier for beginners than stillness meditation.
>>227802YES, absolutely. I have that.
Also, I meant white noise in the OP post. I'm on my phone. Sorry for all the grammar mistakes.

Don’t get sucked into this crap, I tried meditating myself for awhile and felt no different other than the feeling that I’d wasted my time.

>I tried meditating myself for awhile and felt no different other than the feeling that I’d wasted my time.maybe you lost your time bacause you're supposed to do other more useful thing for you.
but when you sit and breath and become chill of wathever shit is happening you chill out for sometime.
your brain have some real-time change activity doing this time to time.
But if you dont want to meditate just do some sport or hig-focus relaxation activity like art or something you enjoy and chill you.
Its better than doing nothing or use drugs or wathever fucked up thing to get high when you can just get

>>227859>its the Tao literal. but tao have no meaning.That's the "slip and fall" interpretation of Tao. Remember,
Tao that is called Tao is not Tao. As in, a way set by someone else is not your way. To travel your own path, to make your own way, is to find your own Tao, which is the only Tao.

meditation is legit. but you really need to be in the right place to do it though. like being addicted to drugs (even just caffeine) makes it hard to focus and be at peace. imo, that is a good reflection on peace in itself.
the chronic dopamine hole everyone is in from never wanting to be bored, tired, or down, ends up making you a chemical slave. you can't have peace when you're drowning in various addictions.
