Thanks, all the best to you.

Yes! My current favourite is a clip of him making quinoa. Opens the tap..."Now add some fresh, fresh water".

I guess some people are lucky, I kind of start dreaming and then fall asleep but I guess I haven't practiced enough. Chanting does help.

Have you ever done group/collective transcendental meditation? From my limited lack of knowledge, I understand it is used to push positive social waves into the surrounding community. Big David Lynch fan.

I feel like I've had undiagnosed ADHD my whole life. I've done some meditation in the past and I felt it helped a bit but it's been years.

Any advice that you'd give me? Anything you'd like to mention about the benefits?

There is no good definition of a thought.

But as a person who struggles to crack 60 seconds, respect.

How do you not fall asleep?

So can you meditate at will? I usually don't say I meditate as try to meditate because that is what I am doing. Sometimes I feel I get to a state which is illusive and maybe what I am looking to get to when I try to meditate but im not sure if that is meditation either.

How would you say this has affected your life?

That makes sense. There's been an enormous amount of meditation work done over the centuries, in the Euro-American world we tend to be unaware of it. I kinda feel like I should encourage you to seek out meditation centers and temples. But if what you're doing works for you, then awesome.

Is there a principled reason why you do not consult with other meditators, or did it just work out that way?

So, do you have a more-experienced meditator that you meet with regularly, or do you meditate on your own?

Have you ever had any dissociation events? Like, feeling that you are a passenger in your own body, after meditation?

no question, just one single clap

What’s the longest you’ve ever gone in a completely thoughtless state?

Lol this old drama, I doubt Lemmy is violent just moody. There are Lemmy users that want to conform

I’ve never heard the rural vs urban argument explicitly

It's been made more than once, also in the 3 posts I made about this.

I guess I made the implicit assumption based on how many of the OSM apps seem to advertise being friendly to outdoor activities.

Interesting, I never thought of it before.
