What’s the longest you can quiet your mind? 🧘🏻♀️ I am in need of a deep meditation session 🟣

Moments at a time, but hours on the cushion. Ichigio Zammai “one practice concentration”.

the mind is never quiet, but you can let the thoughts flow through and not cling to them or the past or the future! 🌟
Best feeling 🕊️ enjoy 🟣

Meditation makes your crotch blink? Not trying it then

And images?

Usually that’s a skill achieved after months of meditation practice. Good for you. I highly recommend ZEN.

Trick is just to let the thoughts and images come and go, just don't focus on them.
afaik some people are just like this. I was shocked to learn that people have a voice in their head.

Wow that’s like a huge life achievement

That was the case for me. It took me years of practice ⚪️🧘🏻♀️

That’s hard to believe, maybe you just don’t notice it

How do you experience the formation of thoughts if not with internal dialogue?
I love yoga nidra! I don't often find complete silence of mind though, it's more like a directed flow rather than absence of thoughts most of the time. Same with vipassana.

No voice?? That’s crazy

I envy people with no inner dialogue. It can be very difficult sometimes.

same 🤝 people are always shocked and call me a NPC lol
It’s so good. And yeah what you say is true. Though my teacher will usually leave 15-30 minutes of silence for concentration and contemplation after.
Nice, yeah good to have some time to just dwell in the silence at the end. I actually lead a yoga nidra myself occasionally, as part of a yoga class. I had to lead one in a teacher training one time and my teacher was snoring by the end of it 🤣 Somehow I'm quite good at relaxing other people but am terrible at relaxing myself 🤷♂️
🧿😂
Lol, man. That’s like zen or other sh..
