Thread: ~How to clear your mind~

I think your steps complicated the entire process.

All you have to do is take deep abdominal breaths while focusing on your Dan Tien. Tilt your chin down slightly and gently close your eyes. All you have to do is focus on your breath.

Thanks guys! I hope it works out!

grasshoppa- that method has never worked for me, the method I use slowly takes you down to thinking of nothing, instead of all at once.

wow give the guy a break, he was telling us the method he finds to be more effective, there is nothing wrong with that.

to be honest, his method sounds awsome and simple.

I prefer girl

If you try this, please post your results!

I have chronic pain in my back that often takes me out of deep meditation, are there any mantras you would suggest that would help me clear this while i'm progressing in my trance?

I don't know of any =\

If painkiller makes it stop, then you could try that before you start.

Ironic, I was just thinking that..

Being in pain does not stop me from meditation, it just interrupts any deep meditation.

But my theory is that if I encounter these challenges now, then if/when I overcome them, there will be greater reward on the other side.

Painkillers do give me a highly tranquil meditation, and I know you're not suggesting one way or another, I am just curious to know what you think about this.

lol

i would advise asking someone with more knowledge then me

All you have to do is break the technique down.

Do step one for a week or two, etc...

Your technique is something that will be way too difficult for beginners.

nice..this should really help...thanx for posting this

No problem! It's something I kinda made up when I was younger to try to think of nothing. That's how bored I was when I was little!

Please post your results!

Well tonight was a f**cking brilliant night.

To begin with, I went ahead and meditated before I went to sleep prescribing your method, along with suggestions from my other thread.

I had another dream night involving Left 4 Dead(lmfao) and I got my ass grabbed my a Smoker. This is one thing I'm good at because whenever I'm bound by cuffs or ropes in my dream, my hands always magically come free and it's always an excellent way for me to notice I'm dreaming. So I had a Lucid at that point, but I had to go along with the dream I was having. Had a lot of fun.

Woke back up for my WBTB, went to the bathroom, drank some water, read Dreamviews for about 10 minutes and went to meditate for a little bit.

This is crazy, because I've never had ANYTHING like this happen before. But I started to feel the effects of SP while I was in the half-lotus so I quickly laid down and went back for it.

Success! Felt like I was falling at a very fast pace and I saw the typical skull and crossbones imagery. I awoke in to a False Awakening and my music was playing. I KNEW I was dreaming immediately because I stopped playing music while I slept a few months ago.

And the rest is history(in my mind anyway!)


Wot Wot

Yay

I'm glad it worked for you!

You went in to SP while sitting? That's pretty cool ;P

It was pretty neat haha. I've been reading literature about Tibetan Dream Yoga but I haven't done anything to practice it.

But then again, I was extremely relaxeddd
