1. A constant pressure between eyebrows. As soon as I sit to meditate or become mindful of the present moment, there is a pressure between my eyebrows, it's been like this for 2 weeks, I guess. 2. I Start to rotate anticlockwise if I really let go. This has happened probably like 3-4 times now. During today's practice, I noticed the rotation is anticlockwise, it could have been clockwise in previous meditations I don't know, didn't pay attention.

34m. Have been emotionally crushed for years by the negative voice and situations I’ve found myself in. I literally cannot think of a single thing I’m proud of doing/have done, can’t think of anything I’m truly good at, have nothing to challenge that negative thought process as it’s been proven true more often than not via external sources. At some point in my life I’d convinced myself that I solely exist to be a stepping stone for others to get where they want or to exist as someone to be taken advantage of consistently. It’s gotten to the point where I become incredibly skeptical of people ..read more

I’ve been practicing mindfulness, and patience for a while now because growing up I’ve developed a lot of bad habits from traumas I’ve been involved in. I get panic attacks, and anxiety like most people these days it seems. Some days are good some days are bad. But the good days are usually when I listen to ram dass and his words ground me or an idea he talks about sits very well with me. I’ll use these ideas and theory’s for a few weeks when I hear them and then months later I forget these important things that are great habits to Institute into my everyday life. I feel like if I could remem ..read more

I am just curious about journaling. I have tried a few times and it never really stuck. I like the idea of reflecting in a journal but also concerned about getting attached to past thoughts or ruminating on it.

After my break up 4 years ago I felt utterly lonely and miserable. I wanted to meditate but it was too hard to do it by myself. I wish there was a way that I could have other people to meditate with, as I was in an isolated place at the time. Now I have finally created a meditation buddy system and it has helped me a lot to stick to and actually enjoy my meditation practice. It makes meditation almost effortless actually. All I do is show up at a time that I agreed upon with my meditation buddy. We meet over zoom and at the start share what kind of meditation practice each of us will do. Then ..read more

Should clarify therapy is helping with lots of other things but my almost complete detachment from sex isnt one of them. Im a 31M I tend to go from being able to tolerate that i need it, to wanting to get rid of it at all costs. I know im not asexual because i do have sexual desire but its always about other people because ironically thats "safer" than my partner I can put up a persona if needed; actually i did that for around 9 years till i entred therapy (of my own valition) I often catch myself pondering whats the point of sex because it doesnt do anything for me, i get much more out of se ..read more

I'm mainly referring to daily life mindfulness. I have such a hard time understanding or performing an observation or acknowledgement of my thoughts. I can easily notice my thoughts, patterns and feelings and then return to the present. But observing just feels impossible, unless noticing and observing is the same which I doubt. I would be content with just noticing and returning but this sub places such a huge importance on observing that it makes me doubt if I'm even doing anything or if my method is harmful. Please tell me I can just... you know.. skip this step? I can't seem to get any cl ..read more
