Bored? Anxious? Frustrated?
    #4990143 - 11/28/05 03:24 PM (18 years, 2 months ago)

Hello everyone, and happy holidays.

First, let me just say, I made this for MYSELF and it is slightly personalized to fit my own needs. I realize it's kind of simple and obvious, but sometimes it's the obvious things I suddenly forget amidst the whirring sound my brain makes in it's higher gears.

Anyway... I always say I'm going to start meditating, but then when I'm bored and sober I tend to completely lose interest in the idea.

If this sounds like you, maybe this could help you too.

I made a text file on my desktop that contains the following body. It's kind of a message to myself to get some motivation going in that moment where I've lost interest in the idea.

I think that by giving myself specific ideas it will help counter the fabled "fuck everything" attitude that dwells in the back of my skull.

On to the actual body!:

---

Bored?

Meditate with or without:

- Candle or Incense
- Music/Ambience

Objective:

Focus attention away from the mind center and towards the root.

Prep:

Get comfortable. You need to relax and stop thinking so much. Find a place you can actually relax. Avoid lying down, as you might fall asleep if you lie down.

Method:

Concentrate on quieting the mind and/or "listening" to the input received via the senses, with a particular focus on physical feeling, which is achieved via PHYSICAL RELAXATION.

LISTEN to the input, don't scrutinize it... disconnect from the need to mentally comment on what you're listening to WHILE you're listening to it.

Frustrated? Can't Focus?

Stop "trying" to do anything. Just close your eyes and relax.

Allow your thoughts to occur and pass by freely, without forming a need for self-attachment to these thoughts.

(This may take a while...)

Hey, thanks for this!

I have the same urge/problem and just never got up the motivation to even write up something to motivate me.

I'll keep this and give it a try!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense...

"Religion is a defense against a religious experience"
              Carl G. Jung

 
"So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience."
Terence McKenna
