I meditate in bed on my back for 35, sometimes 40/45 minutes then I give up and turn to sleep on my side with my whole body vibrating but no luck, basically every night same thing.
should I wait untill I turn an hour or something?
No matter how long I relax every single muscle in my body, it seems like my brain sends signals to the body to sleep only at the exact same time it (the mind) decides to sleep.
It seems like some people are "naturally" better at controlling that than others.
I can't fall asleep laying on my back, I meditate on my back and in the last minute i always turn to sleep on my side.
The thing is, if I am sleeping on my side, I can't imagine myself climbing the rope in that position. I only can imagine myself rolling out of bed.
Anyone can relate?
I don't think I have ever felt the need to force my lungs to take a "deep breath", it always happens on its own when my body needs it.
When in guided breathing exercises they say take a deep breath and slowly exhale to relax, I feel completely the opposite, and instead of feeling relaxed, I feel tired and annoyed. I mean one or two deep breaths is okay, but I can't do that many times.
Aren't our bodies designed to know how and when to breath on its own without us interrupting it?
I mean when my body needs more Oxygen I can feel it breathing deeply without me forcing it, and it always feels really refreshing/good.
I noticed the more you meditate/relax, the more clear they become, more like geometry shapes and lights. A dot rotating inside a circle and other meaningless shapes keep changing and fading. Anyone else experience those?
I heard it in monroe tapes, and I am not sure if it's for protecting your energy or to help you expand or something? could someone please explain more? Any similar technique one can use for protection?
Is that even necessary at all?
Does the vibration happen because you relax all your muscles for a period of time? Or it happens when you imagine moving your body without actually moving it?
I mean if you lay on your back with your eyes closed, totally relaxed, will you eventually get the vibration even if you never imagined swinging/moving your body?
Or it's the meditation ? (a lot of people meditate for years but don't experience the vibration)
What do you think?
What does cause the vibration exactly?
I believe it happens when you imagine moving your body parts. ( that's mostly what actually trigger it)
I meditate a lot on chair or floor with upright back, but I only reached the vibration stage only when decided to meditate lying on my back on bed. (That was months ago), the vibration totally gone when I stopped caring about meditating/any spiritual practice altogether, and it comes again recently when I meditate for couple days lying on my back, so why I don't get such intense vibration when meditating sitting compared to meditating lying in bed?
Anyone can relate?
The question came to my mind when pondering why terrible things happen to good people who help others and help animals, and why bad people get away with so much harm they caused to others.
Does this universe even care?
Is there a system, a reason?, or it's just random things happen randomly to random people?
The more spiritual/awakened you become, the less you struggle with lust. like you naturally and gradually become less interested in earthly/body needs in general.
Personally, I doubt this is the case, though.
What do you think?
Whether you take the opinion from a guru, a spiritual leader or a normal person.
Everyone's spiritual view/stance varies based on how they personally feel, and how life treated them, how optimist, pessimist they are, how their upbringing was like, how easy/rough their life was, how their mental health is like, etc..
Both computers and human brains process information, storing data, running internal operations, and producing outputs. But only humans experience pain. I mean if the computer gets a virus, or if you delete a file , the computer won't feel sad. On, the other hand, we absorb too much sadness on a daily basis over every little thing that doesn't go the way we want it to be.
Why do have feelings? Why aren't we just like computers?
Just another fact that one can easily digest if you were an atheist (it's just this freaky nature), but it's absurd to even think about it from a spiritual point of view..
Dinosaurs? Lived for millions of years before we come here?
What does that even mean?
Were they spiritual beings?
What was the point exactly?
Why isn't the truth clear? Why do we have to figure it out?
why the purpose of life isn't clear?
Tell me the right way and I will walk it (at least I would try), but I just don't know which road to take.
Why can't we remember anything? Isn't it cruel that our memory is erased/wiped?
Is life a game that's meant to entertain someone?
The human brain is indeed different than animals brain. I mean we are just another animals who are meant to evolve in a way that gave us superior cognitive capabilities/reasoning, so?
We don't know where we are or how we ended up here, yet have brains that are fully aware that we're going to die, yet can't accept that we die and that's it.
Life is a mystery and Spirituality seems like an explanation., plus it makes reality less harsher and gives it a meaning, especially since nature, the concept of survival for the fittest is utterly cruel as it is and no one denies it even the most optimists. What if nature is just what it is and it doesn't care what we think. We come and go.
What do you think?
I have been on prozac on and off for years. It always helped me sleep really well.
Last year I switched to lexapro, and quit last month because of weight gain. (Lexapro helped me sleep really good too.
The thing is, I started prozac again (generic) ten days ago. And my sleep is horrible. I wake up after 3 or 4 hours, toss and turn in bad trying to sleep again but to no avail.
Any explanation?
I mean I have read prozac may cause poor sleep at first untill brain gets used to it, but this has never happened to me with prozac before.
Is it because it is a generic since I can't find the original prozac anywhere?
Should I wait?
Do you have that tendency to look at the sky when you are waiting for an answer?
is there anything special about the sky at all ( I mean spiritually)?
Should we pray to God and ask Him?
He can do anything, so for all your wishes, hopes and dreams to become true, it is so easy for Him.
Do you pray to God and ask Him yourself?
Anyone can relate?
I don't feel anything towards the luxury/recent new expensive designs.
I have read peanuts combined with bread is considered a complete protein?, is that true? Any other examples that doesn't cost much?
Also, do I really need to eat them at the same time?
