How to Meditate for Longer?

[Charlotte]

@Mikael89 sit with your back straight against a wall, when you feel yourself starting to hunch, take a deep breath and realign on the out breath. 

Chose a time of the day when your feel most alert and at the peak of mental clarity.

@How to be wise

Effects pertaining to Vipassana technique .. 

Increased pain tolerance both mentally and physically

Anxiety and depression have lessened to a large degree. However, this is not linear and someimes these feelings come back stronger than before.

Morning session help me to stay grounded in the present moment as I go about my day. 

Overcoming addictions... I have been able to absain from porn for over 110 days. Becoming more aware of my diet and the way it affects my emotions thus more inclined to eat healthy

Generally calmer and non aggressive.

Increased desire to become a monk/ live in isolation. Loosing attachments to material things and to life in general, suicidal ideations come and go. Saving money by more conscious desicions, less knee jerk reactions.

Better sleep!!!

Very slowly eroding the materialistic paradigm, get a clearer sense that this life is merely a dream. Taking things less seriously In general. 

And many more effects which I'm not conscious of or don't remember ...

So far not many mystical experiences. I still consider myself as a complete newbie.

Hope that puts things into perspective ?
