10h Meditation In 7 Days

[Magnifico]

I commit to myself that I want to meditate 10h in the next week. 

To remember why do I do this:

• To challenge myself/getting out of my comfort zone
• Improve my patience and experience all the other positive effects of meditation
• improve my commitment habits
• Observe a change

I've only meditated 10 to 20 minutes per day since a few months. But I want to become better and get more fullfillment. I know the best would be to increase my meditation time step by step, but I love to experiment. so I go in the name of my own science into this project, just to obeserve myself and see how it works  

"Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you." 
- Eckhart Tolle

Day #1

Meditation time: 50 min

The first day went good to meditate, except my position. Many body part hurts so I changed my positiopn a lot. In the end I sat on my bed, which was really comfortable. I think I continue with sitting when I meditate. I feel calm but nothing else, let's see how my experiment goes on.

600min - 50min =550min

(Maybe I take it too far and too seriously with the time   )

@Magnifico If you want to build a good habit, try meditation with audio program called Holosync. It will force you to do it each day for 1 hour and it is long term process. It should take you 5 -10 years to finish whole program if you do it properly. But when you build a habit of meditating each day, you will want to do it each day. Keep up

Day #2

Meditation time: 80min

I've meditated 3 times. First time in the morning linked with my morning routine (20min). then the next time in the afternoon (30min) but had problems with my sleepiness. and the last time in the evening (30min). The last time was the most present one. I really observed how your brain is so occupied with thoughts in the afternoon. Anyways my brain feels kind of "used" but that's pretty normal I guess. I will fucking made it  

550min - 80min=470min

Day #3

Meditation time: 100min

I've meditated 4 times (20,20,40,20), those in the afternoon was very hard because of my sleepiness I got. It seems that when I'm awake and full of power I can achieve more than my regular10-20 min and I'm pretty proud of that, because that time really was peaceful and calming. Fuck yeah  I hope I can manage more of those longer and more intense meditation sessions in the future. I believe it.

470min - 100min = 370 min

I commend your effort but just remember that simply meditating for 10h a week won't by itself generate real change. Over my last year of meditation, I personally haven't changed much. Good luck though!

[Magnifico]

@examinationseeker Yes I know I appreciate your opinion. The effects are more long-term and by simply intense the activity it won't get that better, because consistency is the answer. But it's kind of a experiment to identify maybe little pieces of change in th everyday or maybe a little change in my thinking. Moreover I want challenge myself with this to really commit sth bigger for me than I am used to. But thanks though

Day #4

Meditation time: 80min

I've meditated 3 times, this time without sleepiness but always stopped when i can't focus anymore properly. There isn't much change like suspected yet, expect that I remember myself through the everyday to be in the moment and I just be for 10sec to 1 min. It is relly releasing to experience these times of consciousness thrugh the daily grind

370min - 80min =  290 min

Day #5

Meditation Time: 90min

I've meditated 3 times. and of these was a kind of hypnosis session. Yes not really Meditation but you also practice mindfulness. My head feels busy like after an 5h-exam but I don't know if this normal. What the heck I don't care

290min - 90min = 200min
