Just finished my 30 minutes for the day. I use the insight meditation app for my smartphone. It's got a timer and different nice gong/bell sounds to choose from. I really try not to peek before the time is up, but this time when I finally did, I only had 20 seconds left. LOL

Day one for me is done. Sat in cool dewy grass and let the birds and breeze provide the soundtrack.

Count me in :biggrin:

:biggrin:

:thumbup:

I tried getting into meditation in the past. I practiced every day for 3 or 4 weeks and then forgot about it.

I used to go out on my balcony shortly after midnight while everybody else was asleep.. just lay there on the ground under the stars listening to the Wind Chimes :awesomenod:

:awesomenod:

so relaxing :peace:

So medidation is essentially that thing I do every night before I fall asleep?

I sincerely dont get it, and doubt its benefits.

Dude I've been trying this every night about an hour before I go to bed. I can't seem to turn off my mind. I'll sit still and concentrate on my breathing but my mind is running so fast about the most random shit. The good thing is by the time I lay down to pass out my mind feels clear and I'm extremely comfortable. I think I need a lot of practice..any advice how to turn of the chaos in my head while meditating?

Just watch your breath. Your mind will drift and that's absolutely normal. Whenever you notice that your thoughts are drifting around, just bring your attention back to your breath.

Forcing myself to not think didn't work for me. Learning how to enjoy my breath more than my thoughts is what discourages me from thinking.

But of course, that's just me. and I'm still progressing. and a novice meditator.

If you lay there and clear your mind of everything external, and only concentrate on what your body is doing at this moment (breathing), then yeah pretty much. Its a simple concept but can be very difficult for some people. There are tons of well documented health benefits to meditating. I am giving up listening to music for 30 days as well, help clear my inner chatter.

Had a good session last night. A fair bit of work thoughts creeping in. I just let them pass every time and brought my attention back to the sensation of the air entering and leaving my body with my breath.

Eventually cheated and checked the time, and had only 40 seconds left.

my mind can't handle remembering to meditate before going to bed. i'm going to shift my schedule around a bit, and try and get this meditation in during the morning or afternoon, instead.

I can't wait till before bed either. I can't meditate once I'm buzzed. I try early in the morning, or as soon as I get home from work
