Anyone meditate

[Broodwich]

I just started myself. Would like to share my experience but also don't want to write it all down if there's no one out there listening lol.

So how about it, anyone else here meditate regularly? Or even trying to get started like me?

Good morning! I'd love to hear about it! I do some relaxation and hypnosis some evenings to de stress.

 

[Broodwich]

Hiya Kelain! Well I mainly started to improve my focus. I've only done it twice so far so I know it will take some time but I find myself getting very sleepy. I did it seated in a chair, not leaning back; but maybe it was still too comfortable. Perhaps I will try the floor today. I actually dozed off a little yesterday tho lol.

I'm hoping to feel refreshed after I become better at it; hopefully I can find the setting/position that works for me.

Also, would love to hear a little about the hypnosis if you feel like typing some

I use an app for that and it is wonderful! I have a destress app that you listen to with headphones and it walks you through step by step at the beginning much like you'd do in meditation. Relaxing all parts of your body and mind. I can ONLY do it at night because I fall asleep everytime. It actually is set to wake you at the end by slowly bringing you back to waking consciousness. Most times I wake up but others I don't. I actually do all meditation and hypnosis at night. I work with 8 little kiddos during the day so getting too comfortable and conking out is not an option for me! LOL!

 

[Broodwich]

Lol, just let the kids run the place! Even though you usually do it and go to sleep, do you feel like it helps you? Wake up feeling better or anything?

Could you share the name of that app with me?

 

[kelaine]

It does help! I love it! It's called Relax Now by Max Kirsten. Just search the App Store under his name and it should come up. And the same guy has another one called Insomnia Cure that I like too! If you get them you'll have to tell me what you think!

Thanks, downloading now. I'll let ya know in the a.m.!

Edit: I take that back, I'm on android :-( Looks like it's only made for iPhone.

I tried to look up the apps but could not find them??

Sure do. Been a Buddhist in the Shambhala tradition for about 6 years now. I've even attempted a Weekthun (a full week of 12 hour days spent meditating. I had to quit after four days, but when I look back on it I still did 48 hours of meditation in 4 days. Pretty amazing for a guy with severe ADD.)

I have an iPhone... I guess I didn't realize he only had iPhone apps.

 

[Broodwich]

Whoa, 12 hours! I just want to get to 15mins right now haha. Do you find it helps your ADD much?

Tons. I can tell a difference on days when I sit compared to days that I don't. It helps my insomnia as well.
