How do you meditate ?

[neverfadeaway]

I chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. It calms down my mind and helps me focus.

I am not against any religion nor I am strict follower. I am a just a simple guy wanting to get better in life. This mantra meditation has been super helpful in my recovery.

Just curious about other as how they meditate and their experiences.

Regards,

Mandar.

I personally practice Zazen, occasionally i use Vipassana. Depending on what my current mindset is

Usually I do metta (loving kindness)
I also like the ra ma da sa sa se so hung chant
Sometimes I just tell myself I'm beautiful, kind, worthy and smart
I also listen to guided meditation at bedtime on the Insight Timer app
Most important is the breath, a deep breath in and long breath out, that's what matters most for me

Sadly i don't do it much anymore.
But in the past at home..., i used to get on the roof on 3rd storey, go to the handrail and just stand there and look up into the sky. Always at night. Listening either to the surrounding or to music.
just standing, watching, listening, gazing at the stars, thinking.

Also was my crying spot or safezone ^^

Mine is a mountain close to where I live. I’ve been up there when things get bad since I could drive. It’s where I want to be scattered at some point. It’s my quiet spot, my go to spot. Sadly I’m not religious but there are many times I wish I was x

Sounds so peaceful...wish I had a safe place like that. But I'm pretty much trapped in my mind and that can be hard.

why don't you?
Sometimes all you need is to go outside find a bensh (have warm compfy clothes on) and just sit there and stare into open space =)
(well the bensh should be at some place where you can see nature)
There must be a place like that near you place

Well it is supposed to snow like 9 inches today, I don't really want to go out in that XD Otherwise I'm sure I would. I could actually just go outside and do that, I probably will when it gets nicer.

The CalmHarm app is what I use

God I wish I could meditate! For real. My brain is just not made for it I guess.

I don't really know how to meditate exactly but I do recently start listening to meditation music on Spotify app every night.
