I still don't know how to meditate. All I really know is to "focus on your breathing and clear your mind". Well, my mind doesn't clear. I just sit there, breathing deeply and deliberately, thinking my regular thoughts, and then I get bored and do something else. What else can I do? How do I meditate?

isaboo posted:It may sound cliche, but 'wherever you go, there you are'. You just have to remember that the you is not the thoughts banging around in your head at any given moment, and take the time to connect with your body/breath/external world however you can. The worst thing you can do though is think "shut the gently caress up, brain!!!" That's a surefire way to encourage the unwanted chatter to intensify. This is the part I can't understand. That is the purpose of meditation, for me. That's why I'm in this thread right now, because I need a way for my brain to shut the gently caress up before I resort to regularly medicating myself. I can pretend that's not the case I guess. But it still is. It just seems like a contradiction to me, you're doing this to calm your mind but also not trying to do that.
