Meditate right now

Do this for me real quick and tell me what you think. Sit back, clear your thoughts. Now, pay attention to your mind as if you were a another person looking in. Now sit back and wait and you will be met with habit energy that is attempting to get you back to the normal routine of thought. Your mind will send you feelings of "boredom" and a host of other feelings trying to trick you out of being in this meditative state. Simply meet them head on and do not let them take control of you. Your mind will keep trying with all it's might to get you to make you stick to the script. Just meet all challenges head on and stay focused. Your mind may even try to send you bad memories or something that you're currently concerned with in an attempt to suck you in again. If you get sucked in, just simply start over and attempt to keep your ground again and again.
Tell me what you think about when you do it. It's a real challenge some times.

I was trying to meditate a few days ago because i needed to go to bed but I didn't feel tired. I thought maybe it would calm my thoughts. I wasn't have a bad day at all. Just tired. When I started trying to meditate I kept having flashbacks of bad memories. This doesn't usually happen. My usual experience is that I'm suprised how good the experience is and I wish I had the disipline to do it more. What are you getting at?
I guess thats not what you were asking. I'm too drunk to try it out now i'm afraid...

I'm just suggesting a method of thinking while you meditate. I was hoping that you'd try it out. The point is to fight all of the habit energy that comes to your head over and over from different points in your brain.
Perhaps your mind was sending you bad thoughts because you were straying from your normal thought system. It tried to suck you back in and it worked. Try to fight that if it happens again. What's the worst it could do to you?

I've been doing this for the past few nights. I can get it clear, but you're right, the mind throws numerous thoughts at me. I get through some, then one sneaks up and throws me for a minute or two, then I realize I'm thinking about something, and I have to start over. But I'm not going to give up yet.

I'll try it. I've just recently thought about trying meditation. I would have though that it would be easier for me since i'm the type to be really comfortable with myself for long periods of time. I'm finding it pretty challenging to quite my mind though. Its frustrating even.

It does get uncomfortable at times. Just recognize where that energy is coming from in your brain (you can feel it) and just allow it to do it's worst. It's an illusion, of course, so once you allow it to do it's worst, it fades away. Then you feel wonderful. Then another one comes, you fight it away and relax. And so on and so on. Eventually your brain gives up for a while and allows you to have your fun.

I haven't been meditating for long, but a week or so ago I was really relaxed and I started to see something like a pinwheel of light. briefly. when i realized it was happeneing it quit. it was a desirable place to be though. I don't know what point this has but its fun to share!

Yeah, it's good. I need to do it more. I've been slacking. It's a natural drug, man. It's just one that you have to work for a little.
