Meditation
    #6378653 -

I need to get myself out of this depression I'm in. My depression stems from overthinking reality, and all the things in it. I'm thinking about meditation for calming my nerves and helping my relax my anxious mind. But I don't know how or where to start. Help!

doens't sound like a good combination...

maybe don't get the adderall and just meditate.

I find its best to meditate outside, but when it gets really cold in the autumn/winter, you can't. you need to feel comfortable. I can't really do it in my room because my house is a bunch of paper thin walls and I need to put earplugs in. it doesn't work well. but if you find a day where its warm and pleasant, go out in your backyard get a chair and close your eyes get all the thoughts and worries out and shoot them away for 30 minutes. and another great thing about meditating outside is that when you open your eyes, everything seems much more brighter. it's a nice sight = )

one starts right where one ends, here and now.

if you are thinking about meditating, then sit down now and meditate.

it is really as simple as it sounds. :wink:

accept your current state of mind, let your mind go, don't resist, but allow it to circle around all it wants; this is the key for through this acceptance, your mind will dissolve on its own.

pay attention to your continuous stream of thoughts but don't try to change or direct the flow.

just be, let your thoughts be, let the anxiety be, let your depression be, let your nerves be.

this will give you an idea of meditating. :mushroom2:

do you not intervene if you notice a pattern that is not conducive to your well being, letting it exhaust itself?

I wouldn't. Intervening would itself be a reaction from your mind. Still trying to change things and mold reality to fit an ideal... a self-centered ideal. What "I" want. But the fact of the matter is there is no "I". There never has been. So reacting only reinforces the hallucination of the self.

Better just to watch the mind do what it does, not judging. Be completely mindful and aware of what goes on in the mind, not reacting, not doing anything, just being aware.

what dblaney said,

and if there are any incompatible programs or energy draining patterns present within the structure of the ego, then meditation can really help to rewire them into healthy ways afterwards.

however during 'just being' i would not recommend to try to change any parts of the psyche as this would only be counterproductive to the process of meditating and 'losing the mind' itself.

let it all exhaust itself. get to the core. :mushroom2:
