Hey everybody, I've been practicing who somebody I came across called "all day awareness," which comes down to redirecting one's attention to the present moment, instead of being taken away by the stream of thoughts/feelings.…

I've been meditating more lately and I want to be able to let go of something bothering me. For context it involves a friend of mine. We were best friends but the friendship has pretty much ended.…

I mentioned in my last post how I was focusing on the fan as an external anchor, and then my awareness would shift inward, deep inside my body, making me more aware of my breath and heartbeat. This would make me anxious, creating a feedback loop.…

Hey guys, I'm new to meditation. I've accidentally meditated in the past, if you can call it that, but I want to be more conscious about it. One of my strongest experiences was when I lost my sense of self. I'd love to see if I can get back to that state.…
