What goes through your mind during mediation?
Recommended AnswerAI SummaryDuring meditation, it’s common for various thoughts to arise, ranging from daily concerns to deeper reflections. The key is not to engage with these thoughts but to observe them non-judgmentally. This practice helps you cultivate awareness and mindfulness, allowing you to return to your breath or chosen focus. Over time, this can lead to greater clarity and calmness, enhancing your overall self-care routine and supporting the development of lasting healthy habits.
Sometimes, it’s the things that happened that day, the present moment or things that are really deep like thoughts on what is beyond this universe. It really depends on the type of mood I am in
In the beginning I’m listening to the soothing voice or my own voice if I’m chanting. I tune into my breathing and try to stay focused on what the speaker is suggesting to do. I fall in and out of mindfulness thoughts 💭 and finally bring myself to a clear mind with the one major thing on my mind that I need to focus on. If it’s at night and I’m in bed, most likely I fall asleep 😴 because that’s my goal with evening meditation 🧘♀️ due to the fact that it’s hard sometimes to go to sleep 💤
I find I think about all sorts, but I try to bring myself back to just being present and focusing on my breath, sensations or sound a around me, then I think "oh, I’m back"
Distractions. Usually either sleepiness, self doubt or hurriedness. Acknowledge that they visited and continue relentlessly.
It depends what has been bothering me. I tend to have a lot of worries, niggles and life concerns run through my head at once. I try to think of these and then let them go. Meditation is my time to reflect about me and how I can better myself and learning to face things with a calm, focused attitude.
I go to my nothing box. This is a place of pure peace and quiet. It gives me time to stop all thinking and just refresh and relax.
Nothing while I meditate I just focus on my breathing. There are a free roaming thoughts of what happened during my day, or what I want to happen in the future. But mainly just focus on the breathing, and the voice of the guide (if you have one) directing you through the session.
How my body is feeling during medication. how each part of my body is relaxing. I experience the calmness that goes through the whole of me
Sometimes things I need to do, others, things I have said or heard that upset me, others, the sensations of the body adjusting to the posture. The important is that I am learning to accept these thoughts and feelings and keep on with my meditation. So will you! Keep on!
I try to empty my mind so that I’m not thinking about anything but I start about thinking about things that are bothering me I think about them for about 10 seconds and then put them in a basket for later worries
