Experiencing time

[Think Leo]

How do I experience time moving slow for me? I know the scientific ways, but I can't afford that. Is there another way?

Count to 60 out loud and focus purely on the amount of seconds that are passing, as diligently as you would focus on your breath during meditation.

Now realize, that was technically just one minute. But it felt longer than normal.

I know that. But do you have any idea about how to scale it? Meditation can give oneself the sense of timelessness, but moving away from that, when one's involved in other mundane activities. With more and more meditation, it gives the sense of serene calmness inside, which in turn helps in productivity, but my question was more related to the concept of TIME itself. The consciousness of time.

time is the same as change right?

get to stillness in meditation and you won't change, you won't age

truth is unchanging

try it

What do you mean scale it?

Time is a relative phenomenon, which is why your perception of its length changes so easily. The "counting out loud" method is not just some party trick, you're literally changing time experientially.

The scientific ways?
