I won't believe in them until I see one with my naked eye. When I was young I was out walking my dog at about 9pm, walking him through fields, when I heard this screaming sound off in the distance. I didn't think much of it at first but then it got closer and I was literally questioning myself if this is a banshee of some kind. I made a run for it anyways and when I got back home I told my parents about what I heard. They told me it was a banshee.. I did some research online anyways of animals that make a screaming noise exactly like a human and it turns out it was a fox in heat. It sounded a bit like this, but obviously sounded a lot clearer and realer in person. It kinda proved to me that it takes one guy to make up a story about a screaming banshee for tons of people to believe them. Think logically before you jump to conclusions. Whenever I see videos shared of ghost activity I like to question them and see if their legit. I like to laugh and debunk and move on. All of them turn out not to be legit especially videos on youtube. (What people do to go viral these days) And when I think back, I've wasted countless hours watching Most Haunted. Peace (:

Have you ever watched this? If not...do.

We all get depressed at some stage during our life. You just gotta outlast it, knowing that in few days you won't be depressed. Good luck.

This is how I felt during my last three meditation sessions. This usually happens after the 20 minute mark along with sounds becoming very distant. lol (Forgive me for the nudity) But has anyone else experienced this maybe when they were younger and had the flu?

I gave up meditating and the whole self awareness stuff a while back (a month or so) to purely concentrate on my exams...and I kinda just strayed from it. Yeah, a bad idea because it's hard to get back into it and I also feel a bit....dirty or something. But reading this has made me want to hit the mat again now that my exams are finished. Thanks man.

Sure, if you did nothing but meditate and no self inquiry..then you won't get enlightenment. Meditation is the process of stilling the mind....which is a requirement for enlightenment.

@Algi Fuel is kind of the problem, I'm spending too much money on it..but it's worth it. Lol I've thought to myself a few times that I really need to stop driving so much...but the next day I'm back driving again. Even when I'm sick. Driving actually takes my mind off being sick. I suppose you could call this a bad habit. lol

I think I'd be lost without my car. I dedicate a half an hour to an hour drive by myself every day...just to listen to music and drive around. When I get back home I feel really relaxed and calm. As for sitting at home for an entire day without going out. I haven't done that in years.

I gave up taking cold showers after a month of doing it. It was doing very little for me I noticed. Yes the half an hour after doing it felt good and that feeling of accomplishment was good but It really wasn't worth the torture of it. I never got used to it either...Once in it was okay, but the whole lead up to it was horrible. I know it's was only a month, but I got no benefits from it than a hot shower.

Wanting to visit Egypt badly. I think I'll just wait until ISIS calm down a bit though.

@Sarah_Flagg Ayyye I watched Samsara a while ago recommended by someone on these forums. Little did I know there were 2 Samsara films, one from 2001 and another from 2011. I watched the 2001 Samsara... I later watched the 2011 Samsara after finding this out. But hey, If you guys are down for a good film to watch...check out Samsara (2001). (:

You actually purchased this nonsense? First off notice how it tells you "you may be" this or that "You could be" this or that Your probably" this or that. Secondaly, I actually read that and see a lot of it in myself...so can probably every one else. For example "You may enjoy expressing yourself in music or other artistic endeavours". Oh wow...I like music a lot..could this mean... And notice the "may" in that sentence and also the words "other artistic endeavours". That's very very broad and can relate to absolutely anyone.

@Steven Last time I cut my hair that short, I couldn't stop touching my scalp. It just felt so weird, but nice. It also felt sweaty too for some reason. And whenever I pulled my jumper over my head while putting it on, I'd get that same feeling as when someone drags their nails on a chalkboard.

Yup, I tend to do this a lot when important information is given to me. I never stopped to think about it though until you mentioned just there and then.

@Harry I couldn't agree more with that link. I bought his book and have read it 2 times (another 13 to go lol) so far and I'm seeing improvements not only with my relationships with women but in general also.

Plenty of drinks..we can be self aware while we drink haha.

Okay well then let your stupid thoughts take control of you. Seriously you are completely distracting yourself from meditating and next thing you know you will stop meditating all together. And i have got personal experience as I went through this stage myself. I just stick to one technique now rather than questioning and wondering which one is best.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced a nosebleeding during meditation? It's probably just mere coincidence that it happened during one of my meditating sessions, but it is the first time I got a nosebleed in about 2 years. Also it was only one big drop of blood then it stopped. I felt it make it's way to the edge of my nose and I wiped it off with my hand and continued meditating. I only realised I had a nosebleed when I saw the blood on my hand after my session. What made me question it was that it wasn't continuous.

Haha did i do cocaine. I love this comment. (: Nah I think it was mere coincidence as I was coming out of a bad flu I had and my nose was still a bit runny. I also had just took a cold shower and done 20 press ups and push ups before hand so that added to it.

When you become enlightened you won't even think or care that you might be portrayed as a "weirdo". Anyways you only become a "weirdo" to those that are completely uncouscious, so who cares.

Gonna buy this right after my Vipassana course when my mind is clear. (:

@Amplituda Thank you. <3

All this stuff is just a distraction from my self development. Even these forums are a distration. I feel that people spend to much time on these forums and get too involved. For example me now getting involved with this thread. -.-

What's your question? Meditation shouldn't be questioned like this. Just sit down and meditate. Your ego is stopping you by making you question which technique you should do. Just concentrate on one and don't question "Which is the best".
