I don’t understand why people don’t teach meditation more straightforwardly. I’ve tried multiple times and gave up quickly. There are books, videos, websites, and everything I’ve found always spends 30 minutes saying a bunch of nothing…

I learned for the first time by myself. I discovered anchors, basically focusing on a sense (visual, sensation, sound), having an intention like trying to think about nothing (when a thought comes, observe it and bring your focus back), and breathing. I experimented a lot over two days and found ways to reach a hypnagogic state, and learned a lot from it.

Now I’m trying to learn more, but I can’t find anyone explaining everything in a simple way, without talking about benefits, guided meditations, etc.
