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! 🌟

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.

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.

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 🤷‍♂️

I also struggle to relax, and am also a trained teacher. So it’s probably simply something we’re conscious of needing! Do you find that while you are guiding your students into relaxation that you are also relaxing? I never taught yoga nidra, but I do something related during sivasana; a guided deep rest. And then sitting after with the students in dharana, that’s been the most sure way to concentration for me, the surest approach to dhyana.

But I’m in need of that constant practice still. I don’t know if I really know what dhyana is yet. Maybe.

Yes, I absolutely find I relax while guiding others in to it, almost as if it's flowing through me. I think one of the reasons I'm quite good at relaxing others is because it's something I struggle with so have had to find what really really works. I also do something very similar in savasana at the end of a class, I spent a number of years with the Sivananda organisation and it's standard in that tradition to finish with a guided relaxation in which you move awareness around the body and do some visualisation.
