How to meditate

Can anyone give me an idiots guide to meditation? I have watched so many YouTube videos but I don’t think I’m doing it right.

I sit for 15 minutes and try focus on my senses and thoughts but I’m just consciously aware of the fact I am TRYING to meditate and don’t feel any better afterwards

UK GP says ferritin 19 okay… I don’t feel ok!!

Hi, I (27f) had a blood test in Nov 2023, where my ferritin was 30, fast forward to April 2026 I got blood work done due to intense symptoms:

-extreme exhaustion
-lightheadedness
-hair falling out
-REALLY REALLY painful joints
-dry weird skin
-confusion??? (All the time)
-severe depression

I actually went to the doctors to see if I had carpal tunnel because my wrists hurt so much. Blood test came back with normal haemoglobin and ‘borderline low’ ferritin at 19.

This started about 6 months after I quit microgynon pill and started having periods.

My doctors believe this level isn’t a problem because haemoglobin is fine… had to fight to get put on 200mg of ferrous sulphate which I take daily with 1000mg vit C however I feel just as bad as in April. As soon as I wake up I am so lightheaded I can’t see.

I’ve had to reschedule a body building competition due at the end of summer due to physically not being strong enough to train / get out of bed.

Where do I go from this? How do I see another doctor if I go to a small town GP for a different opinion?

Never felt so down about my life before - not dramatic I promise, it’s affecting everything!!

My turn for a success story!!

Well guys, my success story is finally here. I’ve scrolled and scrolled this app reading everyone else’s so may as well share mine to spread some positivity.

Me and SP broke up and it was bad. Real bad. So bad that it seemed impossible. But that’s the thing, is anything really impossible when you are the creator of your entire trajectory?!

When we were in no contact I kept trying to manifest a text, a sign, something to tell me I was on the right path and all my efforts were for nothing, and as a result I got a whole bunch of nothing. Why? Because I was doing it out of desperation. Out of lack. I was doing the methods, the affirming, the scripting, the subliminals but deep down I didn’t believe. How is the universe going to provide something that I didn’t believe I deserved?!

Then I learned of self concept yada yada yada. I went down the deep dive research path, the TikTok’s, scrolling Reddit, the books, even looking for Etsy witches. I was so overwhelmed with all the info I got from different sources that I didn’t know what to believe. I felt defeated. Like it was never in my reach.

Then I learned in easy terms what the law of assumption is. To simply assume you have it and it’s COMPLETELY DONE. One day I decided I was DONE and it would be MINE, I couldn’t be bothered with one more ‘we are in a happy and healthy relationship affirmation’. I decided from that day on it’s the universes job to make it happen.

I helped of course, I worked on my subconscious thoughts, but not obsessively. Once I learned that the subconscious only receives data from the conscious - AND stored that data as facts, I decided I can control my subconscious as easy as pie. I just had to persuade my subconscious mind that I do deserve a loving happy relationship. I actually ended up persuading my subconscious that I’m the bomb, I’m more than deserving of love and happiness and that I’m open to receiving good things in my life. I did this by affirming good things about my self and who I identify as, twice a day in my 10 min drive to work and back and no more. And then BAM, guess who shows up wanting a relationship and furthermore displaying the changes I wanted them to show?! You know who.

So I guess what I’m saying to all you girls and boys is that no matter the 3D, no matter the conditions or the past. Or how much you feel like giving up and crying all night, or how much doubt you have…You can manifest what you want. Decide you have it, don’t obsess over doing everything you can possibly. Say nice things to your subconscious even when it feels silly and unfamiliar. Put yourself on that damn pedestal instead. Anyone can do this if I have done it.

Should I cut contact with my ex if I’m still trying to manifest him back?

My ex broke up with me 2 weeks ago due to him feeling insecure in our relationship (specifically if I post pictures of myself online). We’ve been going out for 2.5 years and I know we will be together in the end.

I manifested a text from him a couple of days ago after leaving him on read, where he said he is struggling with not speaking to me and said it feels terrible. I replied saying we can talk and he said it’s not for the best.

I was just wondering if me replying to these messages in the 3D will affect my manifestations of us getting back together.

At the moment, I’m struggling with what methods to choose and what to believe in. Mostly I just affirm that he loves me and occasionally listen to subliminals on a night whilst I’m sleeping. Other than that I just pretend we are still together and believe in it.

Should I cut all contact in the 3D to let things unfold as I feel with each message he sends, it gets more cold and distant and forced
