If that's you in this picture, then you're very pretty :3

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 35 points 2 years ago

I thought with mediation you should ignore that voice and focus on being in the present.

Depends on the form of meditation. For general, workplace-endorsed "mindfulness" meditation, you allow yourself to think whatever you think, but instead of reacting to it, you merely observe and acknowledge that you're having that thought. You don't let yourself get carried along with it though. You let it pass and let another thought come along, observing your own mind. Other types of meditation are about striving to think nothing, and it's expected that you'll fail, and take years to accomplish that after a great deal of practice.

workplace-endorsed "mindfulness" meditation

That sounds pretty dismissive. It's very sad that capitalism co-opts these things to squeeze out even more energy from workers, and that people think this is just something PR or HR or whatever came up with.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and similar techniques (e.g. autogenic training) are effective and empirically proven methods to combat depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, etc.

Every mediation final goal is to achieve tranquility of mind which is only possible if mind is in present and when you quietly listen to inner voice without reacting, it slowly start fading away and meditator goes in one of the jhanas state

This link also explains some of what I went over with my other comment response to you and a few other things

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

With meditation you stop resisting any voice in your head and thoughts

They eventually will go away on their own if you don't resist

You do also need to be comfortable, relaxed and in a distraction free environment

Dim your lights and turn off any bright sources of light that keep your body awake

Edit: practicing meditation does also help as well because it does get easier to do over time if you practice

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

This doesn't explain the entire method to meditation

Meditation is easy once you know how to properly do it

You also need to know how to relax your body and get comfortable along with finding a distraction free environment

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago

Also, getting distracted doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

noticing that you got dostracted and getting back on track for a while until it happens again is what it is all about (if you ask me)

[-] Franzia 10 points 2 years ago

Yea, there are also many kinds of meditation that aren't all about sitting quietly still, but all tend to have this "noticing" element. That is the important element.

[-] eestileib 2 points 2 years ago

This is the key, that returning to focus is actually where you are working.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Yeah no thanks. The voice in my head is an asshole.

[-] Otherwise_Direction7@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He killed the anime, that fact alone makes him a fucking dick

Lol I had never seen this

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

If she'd be in the middle of a train track she'd be getting railed, so that wouldn't work.

[-] f5xs_bhw0a@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is probably in reference to where the quote "uuuooooohhh seeeggss" came from: a Japanese man cycling down the road in ~~the middle of the night~~ a tunnel shouting that, and other hilarious nonsense.

I think they are a girl based on the physique the artist used on the body because their body looks more feminine to me

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I dropped the s by mistake actually.

[-] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

the voice in my head is normally completely incomprehensible

not silent more like gibberish
