The last thing I need is to be left alone with just my thoughts.
As other people are saying, that’s the point of meditation.
I just started a book, The Art of Living, by Thich Nhat Hahn and he claims that most people don’t choose to think their thoughts, thoughts just appear, just like the wind on a rainy day. You can’t stop the wind from blowing and you can’t stop thoughts from appearing.
The point of meditation is to learn not to ‘think’ the thoughts that appear.
By tue way I did try this for a year and while i do get the point of it I did not succeed yet.
I hope you’re well though!
Sounds like me when I was in a bad place. Do you need support?
I’m thinking about implementing daily prayer in my house.
Honestly it’s a necessity at times. Though I found certain activities elicit the same “thoughtlessness” that I get when I meditatw such as motorcycling. No time to think about anything else but the road and the bike, making it ironically one of the most relaxing activities I do.
I actually meditate basically all the time. At one point I thought, why not have the clear crystal ball all the time, instead of “just” when I make time to sit down and meditate?
Pretty much the same here. I meditate when I get stressed, I do yoga moves every day. It helped me tremendously getting my life back together so I keep at it.
For any onlookers: this is a process so start at any point, no minimum requirement to be valid. :)
With all the time I actually mean all the time, dunno if you mean the same thing. Like I don’t do any actual yoga exercises or meditation sessions, I simply meditate while making myself some food, for example.
But yes, it’s definitely a process that you can do ass little or as much of as you’d like :)
