Had to look it up. A tulpa is a “sentient, autonomous entity created in a person’s mind through intense concentration, meditation, and visualization”. Basically a fancy way of saying making an imaginary friend while trying to not sound crazy.

This helped me find balance in 2012. Taught me meditation, contemplation, and why humans are the way we are. Stunning fractals! Stunning patterns in nature that sound makes. I found the simple world, the world of inner peace, and tolls to ignore the hysterics of the outer world. Enjoy, the 2 of you that may go and check it out!! LOL!!

Mahayogi Satyendra Nath, also known as Ishputra, has gone viral after a stunning video showed him meditating peacefully in minus 55-degree temperatures. He leads the Kaulantak Peeth and is a dedicated practitioner of the ancient Siddha Himalayan yoga tradition, known for its intense discipline and rare spiritual knowledge. For over 20 years, he has practiced advanced sadhana in the Himalayan region. The recent video was reportedly filmed in Seraj Valley in February 2024, where he spent a month in deep meditation despite the extreme cold. Followers claim he has mastered yogic techniques that help regulate body temperature and metabolism, reflecting the extraordinary capabilities achieved through India’s ancient spiritual heritage. 📽️: @kaulantakpeethhimalaya Clip - tubeindian submitted by /u/SastaNostradamus to r/AajMaineJana [link] [comments]

Find a comfortable seating position. Literally anything as long as you're comfortable and can hold it for a longer period of time. Breathe in and out. Pay attention to the sensation of your stomach rising and falling with each breath. Really focus on it. Pay strong attention to the rising and falling as your stomach expands and contracts. Hold your attention on the rising and falling sensations of your breathe in the stomach. Bring the attention back every time you get distracted. This is completely normal. The most important part of the exercise is noticing when your attention moves to something else. Bring it back every time to the rising and falling of the breath. Do this for 15 minutes to begin with. As you get better you can increase the time of each sit. As you get better and you do longer sits, you will enter deeper and deeper states of meditation. Leading to feelings of peace, clarity and love you didn't even know were possible. The goal is to get good at two things. First, holding your attention on the breath for long periods of time without distractions. Second, noticing when your attention moves and bringing it back quickly. These two skills will help you in all aspects of life. You will be able to focus on the task at hand for longer periods of time and concentrate harder. You will be more aware of all feelings and sensations that arise within you and deal with them better. submitted by /u/Dizzy_Whole_9739 to r/Meditation [link] [comments]

No app, no music, no guru. I just sat still in silence for 10 minutes before bed for the past month. It’s stupid simple, but here’s what happened: • My sleep got noticeably better after the first week • I caught myself stopping impulsive habits more often (scrolling, snacking, reacting angrily) • I was calmer in high-stress moments at work • I even started noticing when I was overthinking, while it was happening You don’t need to “clear your mind” or “do it right.” Just sit in silence and breathe. Every night. Try it for a week. It’s basically a free upgrade for your brain. submitted by /u/Pranavtare to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

I’ve been meditating consciously with intention for a little while now, and I started to feel like I was really beginning to connect. But something happened recently that I wasn’t prepared for—and it completely changed me. I put on headphones and played 396 Hz. I meditated for about 40 minutes, lying still. At some point, I started seeing things—not just in my mind, but as if they were in front of my eyes, like reality had shifted. One moment stood out clearly: a pair of eyes, incredibly vivid and real. It lasted a second, but I’ll never forget it. Then, as I went deeper, I felt a powerful vibration throughout my body. My physical body was “asleep,” but I was still fully present. A bright white light appeared in front of my eyes—then something beyond words happened. It was like a million waves of bliss rushed through my body. My eyes opened on their own. I sat up, trying to grasp what I had just experienced. Since that moment, something inside me has changed. I feel lighter. Happier. More aware. More alive. submitted by /u/arch_consciousness to r/AstralProjection [link] [comments]

It’s simply pointless to try to stop or change any thoughts or feeling you have when you meditate. If you try you will only produce more thoughts. As Sadh-guru said, the mind is like a car that has 3 pedals which are all accelerators. There are no breaks when it comes to the mind. Whichever pedal you press you will only create more thinking. Try this as an experiment to forcefully make yourself not think of a monkey. You will find that it is impossible. Whatever you try to avoid becomes the basis of your consciousness. So don’t try to stop thoughts when you meditate. Just leave the mind alone, and create a little distance between you and the mind. Let the mind run and just observe it as if it was something separate from yourself. See that whatever you think about is just an accumulation of impressions you have gathered throughout your life. There is rarely anything new happening in the mind. Even if you think about the future, it is still a projection of your past experiences masking itself as future. There is no such thing as past or future. This is only the mind’s projection. There is only ever this very moment. Past and future is in the mind. Just leave the mind alone. There is nothing interesting happening. It is all the nonsense from the past. You will find that it is very rarely you have a truly original or inspired thought. Most of what you think about is just garbage. It is all recycling of the old data you have already gathered. So you observe whatever is happening this very moment and leave the mind alone. After some time, if you don’t push any of the mind’s “pedals”, the momentum will start to run out. The amount of thoughts will slow down and the force each thought has upon your attention will decrease. Then you may enter into a space where you have clarity and peace of mind. Just try to sit for 5 minutes like this. Don’t do anything. Just observe the mind and what is happening there. It’s helpful to be aware of the breath and any bodily sensations as well. Just see if you can sit for 5 minutes without pressing any of the “pedals” in the mind. You may find that it is in fact very difficult and takes a lot of practice. This is meditation. When the mind ceases to have so much power over your attention, that is meditativeness. It’s a quality one has to work hard to acquire. submitted by /u/Euphoric-Welder5889 to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

I'm almost 30 now. I discovered meditation 15 years ago by accident. It's been an on-off relationship since then. 7 years ago I began listening to J. krishnamurti's talks who had a tremendous impact on my view of spirituality and enlightenment seeking. I have tried so many things, countless techniques, different schools of meditation and esoterism, different magic systems of initiation, different religious traditions... Only to circle back to the starting point which is "I do not know". So I ditched it all and remained with myself. 3 years ago I started the most basic and simple meditation technique there is: Stillness. And I realized that this was what I was searching for the past decade of my life. By just sitting still... It has always been there with me. By just keeping the muscles of the body dead still, including the eyes and the tongue, something happens... I am still exploring the experiences as it is new each time, but I think it could help somebody else searching for understanding. It is simple, as follows: Sit in a comfortable position. Clasp your hands and keep them in between your thighs. Keep your back straight and steady and hold your head in a natural position. Keep your tongue to the roof of your mouth and don't let it move. Now, your eyes should be closed and kept still facing toward the "third eye". ( When I started this, my closed eyes were just immobile facing in front of me. But they naturally shifted upward after sometimes, so I found this position to be natural and comfortable) Now, stay still like that for a while. Do not move a muscle (except for the breath) Your body will start "vibrating", you will "hear some in-ear sounds" and you may "see some colors" as your energies are naturally doing their thing. Just ignore them and let it happen. As you practice and practice and practice, your restless mind will follow the stillness of the body and it will become uninterested in the thinking process... And that's where it will happen... submitted by /u/ThePMOFighter to r/Meditation [link] [comments]

Hey Reddit! Remember me? Two years ago, I shared my experience of meditating daily for 1000 days. The response was overwhelming, and many of you reached out with questions, support, and your own stories which helped me a lot in feeling supported. I am (an you are) not alone. I've now reached 1600 consecutive days of meditation. That's over four years of sitting with myself every single day, through good times and bad. It hasn't always been easy, and it certainly hasn't been a linear path to enlightenment (spoiler alert: I'm definitely not enlightened!). But it has been transformative in ways I never expected. When I started this journey, I was looking for peace, maybe a bit of stress relief. What I found instead was a tool for self-discovery, resilience, and growth. Today, I want to share some of the most impactful insights I've gained along the way. But before we dive in, I want to emphasize something crucial: while meditation has been incredibly beneficial for me, it's not a substitute for professional help. If you're dealing with severe anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health challenges, I strongly encourage you to couple meditation with support from a qualified mental health professional. They can provide targeted strategies and support that complement your meditation practice. Now, let's explore how 1600 days of meditation has changed my perspective on suffering, life, and myself... Facing Suffering: At first, meditation made me more aware of my suffering, which was incredibly challenging. I got frustrated thinking what a scam meditation was. But as I persisted, I gained insights into the causes of my suffering. Once cause become clear, I started hating on the cause, wether it was me or an external person or event. Again, I persisted, which led to acceptance which led to synchronicities - meeting people and discovering resources that offered new perspectives on overcoming suffering. Once I know why I suffer, and stop blaming it on the why, I start moving on effortlessly. The effort I found is to be displayed to persist on sitting with my broken slef day after day. Understanding Attachments: I realized most of my suffering stemmed from attachments - particularly to family expectations and societal definitions of success (status and money). The Power of Focus: I learned that meditation's core is about focus. "Focus on a single point and wait for grace." This improved my ability to read, contemplate complex questions until solutions formed in my mind, and choose positivity when facing darkness by (forcing) my mind to look the other way, the glass half full. Sensing Life Differently: I now instinctively perceive the causes behind events and sense a spiritual guidance shaping my path. This awareness helps me understand the direction I'm being nudged towards. I still don't fully understand this invisible hand pushing me through life but I am certain of it's existance and it's guidance. Suffering appears to be one of its tools. It helped me overcome an eating desorder, a severe depression, an inability to keep a partner and many minor struggles. All happened when I accepted to face my suffering until I see its cause, then stop blaming the cause and reframing my mind to think about things differently. Important Note: I'm not claiming to be a "liberated soul" above suffering. I still struggle a lot and fall often. The difference is that I'm no longer attached to these experiences. It's like watching a video game character - I feel momentary sadness at setbacks but quickly reframe them as learning opportunities for the next "level" and I start the level all over again. It's a game with no gameover. Misconceptions: Initially, I believed meditation was about breath focus, visualizations, hugging trees or other superficial practices. While these can be tools, I've found the essence is simpler and more profound. It's all about learning to focus to be able to understand then to reframe. Advice for Those Suffering: Be present with your pain. Close your eyes and sit with your suffering until you become comfortable with it. Notice how it feels in your body. Once you stop resisting, insights about its causes often emerge naturally. With this understanding, you can address the root issues - often mental habits or perspectives about yourself and the world. Remember, meditation isn't about escaping suffering, but about developing a new relationship with it. Please be free to share any different perspectives on the subject to enrich my point of view. Keep in mind I am not a professionnal nor a student of any particular school of thought even though I am interested in all of them and study them very seriously for fun and with the goal of overcoming my own suffering. submitted by /u/karza89 to r/Meditation [link] [comments]

This may be obvious and/or considered common knowledge to many but when I finally understood this sentiment it completely changed the way I thought about meditation. I used to think that I was supposed to have this moment of great enlightenment during the actual act of meditation and it caused me to dismiss meditation all together as it seemed to be only a gimic. I realized that the moments of enlightenment and increased happiness happens at random while you are going throughout your day. NOT when you are meditating. I feel the need to mention this for all of the people who gave meditation a chance only to become frustrated when "nothing happened" when you were meditating and you didn't see any benefits. Give it another shot. submitted by /u/branwithaplan to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

Meditation is advertised everywhere as this overly benefitial tool, which will increase your focus, reduce stress, improve memory, relieve feelings of depression and so on. Having issues with all these thingd (as does everyone to a degree) I decided to give meditation a shot. It was maybe a year ago when I downloaded my first meditation app, it was headspace. The app seemed promising and I did the introductory guided meditations. In the first couple sessions I could really see the benefits, my brain went from 30 to 60 FPS and my mind felt declutered. I felt present and in touch with reality in a really positive way. Due to curiousity and lack of discipline I dabbled in many apps. And this has led to my unfortunate discovery of Sam Harris's app Waking Up. At the time the app had an introductory course in which you would gradually learn new techniques each day. Things like different breathing patterns, focusing on body sensations, focusing on sounds and so on. While utilizing these techniques I started to develop some weird sensations. I could permanently feel the sensations of clothes on my body, I sometimes felt compusled to just swallow consciously. I started being involuntary focusing on actions that are performed automatically like walking, picking up items and so on. My movements started feeling unnatural. The worst thing that came out of it was when I got to the sections which make you contemplate on questions like, "who is the one who is thinking", "what is the source your consciousness" and so on. These questions have made me feel like my brain is melting or going to explode. If I got really focused on trying to understand those questions, my head would start to move involuntary. I started to get feelings of existential dread, I felt that nothing in existence has substance. I felt like everything is a made up construct and has no intrinsic meaning. I became a spectator of life and I was no longer living. It's been a while since then, but I am still struggling. When I am in the moment having fun I will feel completely normal. But when there is nothing to distract my mind I return to my new baseline of feeling like an empty fucking shell. There are definitely other factors which could have influenced my state, but I still belive that meditation had significant impact. All in all I am convinced of the power of meditation and I hold no negative bias. However, I believe a lot of people who are teaching meditation don't really understand all depth, nuance and implications of this practice. I think it should be approached with more care rather than being advertised as this risk free cure-all blanket solution. submitted by /u/Life-Improvement-308 to r/Healthygamergg [link] [comments]
