RE: From coffee to calm: My journey into mindfulness

in ThoughtfulDailyPost18 days ago (edited)

just like now, actually. In those moments, time and thoughts really disappear.

I still have 'difficulties' to really stop thinking. But then again it does show how I need this because my brain is constantly on, even when I want to give it some rest.

I also understand now why I’ve always been drawn to the mountains or the sea.

Such environments can really help. I only don't feel comfortable to sit and close my eyes when other people are walking around.

One of my friends once said that the most interesting part of meditation begins after the tenth minute. And he wasn’t lying. When I meditated (more or less successfully) for about 15 minutes, it felt like lucid dreaming.

Maybe I should try to do longer sessions too. But why was it scary?

Thanks for the reminder. It’s truly important never to forget that we have incredible tools right under our feet...

The mind is one of the most powerful tools indeed!

Thanks for commenting!

Sometimes the image was so real it took my breath away. It could be flights over the earth, or I could see myself from a third-person view — as if from the outside. Something I don’t think I even see in my dreams. lol But it’s true what they say — it gives extra energy. I’d compare it to an hour of sleep.
