sitting requires your back to be straight. over time you should be able to use to it

feels good actually, i mean i also healed during that time too. Its not really for everyone though as its not easy to achieve this. Hence why i said i dont mention how publicly, dont want people messing themselves up in order to achieve it.

Managed to make meditating a routine before going to bed now. However I think I should try to level up and meditate for longer period. 10 minutes a day seems very short.

Saw this new subforum was created. I think it’s a good idea to open a thread to discuss about meditation. Western world tends to call it mindfulness, but yeah I don't really differentiate the two.

Meditation is a great way to reduce stress in our daily lives. I tried to practice daily but with the busy working life it is hard to be persistent. There are lots of different ways. The method I use is simple (but may not be easy), taught by a psychologist. I focus the attention on the breath as a start. Then I practiced the so-called 6 seconds cycle, i.e., 3 seconds in-breath and 3 seconds out-breath, that will make 10 breaths in a minute. If the mind wanders (which it will), try to bring the attention back to the breath. Continue doing this for at least 5 minutes, preferably longer.

Anybody has practice meditation regularly? Feel free to discuss here.

There was once a screening of “The Connection: Mind Your Body” when I was studying. The filmed is made by a journalist who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, i.e., her immune system attacked her own body. She travelled around the world interviewing experts with remarkable stories of recovery from severe diseases. She found that there is a connection between mind and body (it has to be), that the mind will affects the body’s physical health and vice versa that the body will communicate with the mind. Therefore, if we are stressed continuously in our lives, chronic illnesses are likely to manifest.

The file uses a simple example that, e.g., when we encountered a tiger in a jungle, we activate the fight or flight response, which is associated with increased heart rate, blood pressure etc. If we are stressed, we are usually worrying what might happen in the future, as if there is a “virtual tiger” in our mind. When this happen for a long time, it produces adverse effect to our health, both mental and physical. Meditation, on the other hand, helps us to only focus on the present moment and let go of unnecessary thoughts. It activated what is called the relaxation response, which is associated with decreased heart rate, breathing rate etc.

Another point worth noting is that western medicine often treats mind and body to be separated. For example, when a patient has a prolonged back pain, then doctor would prescribe medicines for back pain. But sometimes this doesn’t help. Would it be possible that the daily stress in the mind causes it to manifest as back pain? This is something worth pondering.

I personally think it is a great film. You can watch the first 15 mins of the film for free here

I think ASMR is much better than meditation. If you never tried - I highly advise it. I listen to it before bedtime and sleep like a baby. I can't quite explain how it works, but it works )))

Listening to soft voices is like chanting mantra n sutras, listening to tapping sound is like monks hitting the wooden fish, hand movements is like mudras, listening to blow or exhale is similar to watching ur breaths during meditation, watching attentively to other people’s action is a form of meditation, we even meditate while walking, consciously ignoring external stimuli n scanning the inner body for sensation is meditation, listening to certain music w specific frequency n that frequency is also achieved n taught in meditation.

ASMR is a sensation state that is achieved in meditation

Meditation remember to breath in breathe out. Steady. No thinking. Most likely men easier to do so.
