Meditation.

Hello! I wanted to take a second, and share my experience with meditation, and some techniques I have acquired.
The most important thing I have learned so far is, you can meditate any time anywhere. If you feel yourself getting emotional and off center, breathe and clear your mind for a few minutes, or even seconds, just until you feel like you can process the emotions and move on.
The second thing is different types of meditation that I have found. The most common is the centering meditation and mind clearing, but you can do so much more. I like to meditate on memories, thoughts and death even. I catch myself quite often pondering all the ways I could have died during a day, and it gets very vivid. I like to seek the scary aspects of the mind and face them. This in turn adds a layer of callous on your psyche.
The third and last thing that has helped me to be in the state of meditation as long as possible, is visualizing as much as possible. Dreaming can help with this, do a reality check every so often so you can start to remember them. A good reality check I do is pinch the skin between my thumb and pointer, then ask is this reality, the. Answer yes or no.the try to force the fingers through the palm. In the dream world, your hand will pass through 😜. Once you dream more, try to keep the dream you have in the back of your mind throughout the day, I keep coming across crossovers from my dream and the current day. I also get vivid flashbacks and mild hallucinations through the day now. The more I can dream, the easier I can visualize. Once you get to the point where it is like riding a bike, try to get clarity. This is the hardest part, it is a balancing act of concentrating while not concentrating, you will feel when you get it right, something that helps is think of it as subtle manipulation. So try to use your environment to help you along. Like, if you want to be in a rainy forest, listen to those sounds and look at pictures of the said item before you try.
this is the end of my rant! Thank you and have a good night:)
