Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

Sits to try and meditate

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME

WHERE HE AT WHERE HE AT

A large part of meditation and mindfulness is learning to let go of and silence those voices.

I'm a man with ADHD and I honestly have 3-5 of these fucking guys in my brain at ALL TIMES.

I've started delegating work to mine. I'm tired, it's their turn. Make them pay rent, see how they like it.

Does any of it get done?

I've never had luck with meditation outside of a group setting.

I really wonder what happens during meditation to those people without an inner monologue...

[–] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Same thing as everyone else, our thoughts just take a different shape. My thoughts are pretty abstract, I have neither an inner monologue nor mind’s eye, but it’s not just total emptiness and silence when I meditate.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 hours ago

Having both, that sounds really unimagenly strange and alien to me... 😯

Everyone's got an inner monologue. Some are just better at articulating it.

But meditation isn't about thinking, it's about breathing. Slow, deep breaths to calm your heart and relax your muscles. The idea is to clear your mind by physically releasing stress, not to dwell on your problems by squeezing your eyes shut and catastrophizing.

There's actually lots of kinds of meditation.

Thats like saying the purpose of surgery is to take stuff out or the purpose of drugs is to stop headaches.

[–] pntha@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

nope, there are actually people who don’t have an inner monologue. they think with pictures, associations, and feelings but cannot hear themselves in their head.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Sure I can sit and observe my thoughts.

WHOOOOOSH

There it is, that was my train thought, I was able to sucessfully observe it race by me and disappear before I could catch up!

Did I do it right? This kind of feels like watching a rally race from the side of the road, wow meditation is easy!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

That sounds a lot like mine, except it’s a busy highway.

When I meditate I like to imagine walking away from the highway and up to a distant hill. I can see the cars go by in the distance but can’t hear the traffic, just the wind in the trees.
