World should be full of these peoples. Children should be taught meditation in schools.

Growing up, my biggest passion was spirituality but unfortunately at the age of 19 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Visual and auditiory hallucinations made me believe that I would never be able to enjoy the fruits of meditation ever again, and this resulted in the absolute demolishion of my desire to live. This was followed by 2 suicide attempts that left me stuck in a psych ward for the whole of last year...
Long story short... I taught myself many hacks to push through a full hour of meditation without allowing the voices and visions to suede me into giving up. Ive done 3 days in succession and plan on continuing every day until Im hopefully able to attain the state of mindfulness that I used to have before schizophrenia.

This life is aggressive but it doesnt owe you anything. If you're reading this please know that you are way stronger than you could ever imagine. Strong desire can transform your life spectacularly, and pain and suffering is the source of our power

People who scroll to read comments while a video is playing will never understand meditation. – Buddha

1. Remove Distractions
2. Focus on something whether it’s your breath, mind, or surroundings

To everyone who is experiencing a difficult situation:
To shoot an arrow you have to pull it backwards.
So when life drags you back with some troubles, it means it's going to launch into something better.

I have tinnitus in my left ear. Rather than letting it drive me crazy like some do, I sometimes use it as a source for sound meditation.

I think it’s really important to build a habit out of meditation. Instead of checking twitter or watching YouTube for 5 more minutes, turn that short amount of time into meditation ✊

I was taught meditation at my high-school, by my zoology teacher. And it helped me quite a lot, to concentrate, and to make me active all the time. And I believe everyone should be taught meditation at schools, from a young age.

That little "ok" at the end was adorable

"Meditation is easier than u think"
"I THINK" and that's THE problem.

Meditation is simply "Just Being". Sit, don't even focus on breathing, just be, just let go, just witness, just feel, just be!

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I am a very hateful person. Who has made many mistakes in my short years of life. I’m going to make a change and give myself a fresh start. I want to lose my hinge on worldly possessions and become a happy peaceful person. I’m going to start by meditating. I don’t know what my goal is but i just want to have some moments of tranquility in my very hectic life.

Be in the moment without thinking about the moment. Accept everything. No solutions, no problems.
