Your thought is louder than the sound?

Ok, in any way, apart from my placebo objection, meditation is not a placebo, it is scientifically proven to change the "physical" structure of the brain. Anything we do changes us, meditation is the absence of doing, which changes us in unique way, perhaps allowing the Universe to work on us better. More importantly, it creates(or reveals) Space in actual experience. It can be easily proven that meditation works if you do meditation.

Well obviously placebo does work if people are getting cured due to placebo. It's a fact now. "Just placebo" statements make me aggro I do apologize Who cares if it's "fake" or not, if it works? What's important is the result, not how it was achieved right?

Takes no time, just keep centering yourself in the present - use awareness of breath or awareness of sound or awareness of inner body (just to name a few) to recenter. You might feel a tingling/ pressure at the top of your head, this would be the Universe giving you a download / guidance through the crown chakra. Pay extra attention to your dreams / events to come if that happens. Perhaps it's different for different people however, I can only talk from my experience which might not be relevant to you. Alternatively, if the crown is blocked, you could get a headache in that region, so if you do - start doing some chakra work.

I have 26 years breathing experience in my CV

I enjoyed it too, food for thought awareness

1) My head hurts trying to understand... I'm not a smart guy. 2) You have to get in the matrix to talk about the possibility of going outside of the matrix. What I'm pointing to is not the pointer. The explanation is a movement of thought. Am I doing it? That's the question. Who am I ?

A person can't do nothing, only when you identify as awareness and not as person you realize you're always doing do-nothing. Hehehe Deeper movement of doing? I would guess this is the feeling of "I am doing this" ? I don't know. The dream is a dream of doing. The "practice of do-nothing" is sitting out and challenging that identity by natural noticing, not actually stopping processes.

If it is happening, but I am not doing it, then I am doing nothing The very impulse to try to stop it is where the Ego comes in. That is, being associated with the "doer" and think... Well I shouldn't be doing this right now... So I should stop... When if you see you're not doing it in the first place, that there is not even a you to stop it... Then you realize you're the absolute master of do-nothing. You just can't do anything for the simple reason: You are not the doer, your identity as the doer is the dream, you are beyond the dream and you've never done anything.

There are always 3 options Yes, No and Mu. This is how you practice Mu. Look at your beliefs and instead of saying - this is right or this is wrong... Choose Mu.

When doing "do nothing" meditation, it doesn't matter what happens. If you start thinking, why try stop it? If you start making choices, why stop it? Stopping those things would be an action. If you're doing those things without actually doing them, then you're doing nothing. They're just appearances in awareness. What have you ever done? You just watch.

What's wrong with the world, mama People livin' like they ain't got no mamas I think the whole world addicted to the drama Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin' In the USA, the big CIA The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach? Or would you turn the other cheek? Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love (Love) Where is the love (The love) Where is the love (The love) Where is the love, the love, the love It just ain't the same, old ways have changed New days are strange, is the world insane? If love and peace are so strong Why are there pieces of love that don't belong? Nations droppin' bombs Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug If you never know truth then you never know love Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the love, y'all People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach? Or would you turn the other cheek? Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love (Love) Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love (The love)? Where is the love, the love, the love? I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder Most of us only care about money makin' Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction Wrong information always shown by the media Negative images is the main criteria Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity Whatever happened to the fairness and equality Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found Now ask yourself Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love? Father, Father, Father, help us Send some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love? Sing with me y'all: One world, one world (We only got) One world, one world (That's all we got) One world, one world And something's wrong with it (Yeah) Something's wrong with it (Yeah) Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah We only got (One world, one world) That's all we got (One world, one world)

Let's not complicate simple things

The most effective technique is "Do nothing" meditation. Also: Being aware of breath, being aware of being aware, being aware of the energy field of the body, being aware of gaps between ? thoughts. Spiritual working out. Do nothing is equivalent to doing a plank (best workout for body).

Be spontaneous. Modifying yoga is dangerous, only if you modify it with dangerous things - like smoking while doing it for example... If modifying yoga is dangerous, then dancing is dangerous. Be spontaneous. Meditate however you wish, only important is to notice you're aware.

It is what it is, it aint what it aint

You're right. I'm extinct and I should act like it!

If you can say what the truth is, isn't that ego? So you think you figured it out? And now you are egoically holding on to "The world doesn't exist, you don't exist" and anyone who has a different opinion is obviously wrong ... Do you see the ego in this or not? If there is a right answer and a wrong answer, then that truth is still in the realm of duality.

So much for compassion. I get that on an intellectual level you are correct, but you are wrong on the heart level.....

Ok... A little offtopic, but had to write this here -reason mentioned below. So I woke up 3am, didnt move my head, just opened my eyes and looked towards window and I see through the smallest crack in the curtains the moon... What??? It doesn't happen for the first time too, last time I jotted it as just coincidence... But wow, it can't be. I went back to sleep, then woke up, looked at phone- hallelujah it's exactly 3:33 am! I open my mouth in disbelief - another synchronicity lol. Now I open forum to share and page opens on your reply for highlighter option. Non other than Miss moon777light??! Whaaaaaat. Did I become moonlightened? Can't take a good enough photo, but this is the tiny curtain crack, the moon -shining right in the middle - in my face.
