I Love Meditation

I want to try meditation but I’m in need of advice, how do you do it? I get it’s about accepting when you get off track, being okay with it and allowing your mind to come back to focus. But how do you meditate? Does it have to be quiet? Does it matter how I sit? What if I can’t stop thinking lol...

If you search Byron Katie on YouTube listen to her speeches... if you can’t sleep then just listen to her method of calming the mind.
1. Is your thought true?
2. Are absolutely sure it is true?
3. How do you react when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without that thought?

Now turn the thought around and find 3 ways that it’s true:
I don’t need her.
- I haven’t needed her for all the years prior to meeting her.
- I am alive now, sitting, standing, or laying down without her, so it’s not absolutely true that I need her since my body and organs function autonomously.
- I have what I need to stay alive... oxygen, water, food, and shelter.

That is an intro to Byron Katie’s method, it’s called: The Work 😊👍

Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow. But I’ll try it.. at least twice before I go 👍🏾 I’ll let you know my findings before too. @Specialyouare

Get some rest. I’m excited to see how your testimony will inspire others to survive after hearing about how you overcame your struggles into finally learning to put yourself first! I see you like someone on Tedtalk giving a speech on self-acceptance and explaining to people the real life truths everyone keeps quiet and how to overcome it through mental conditioning and gaining inspiration from overlooked artists and people of humility and heart! 🤗😊👍🎊

Sleeping isn’t really my thing, I know it makes the time go faster but, I have insomnia and especially lately when I even nap I have really vivid nightmares @Specialyouare

@Specialyouare but, I will let you know just, how the night went.. I can already feel the negative thoughts racing in 😞 but hey, I got this, I’m sorry, I don’t want you to waster your positivity and foresight on me tonight.

I’m a realist, not a positive gal. But if you have insomnia I hope these videos can entertain and inspire. Also... you can search for Ted Talks on ANY topic... those are very inspiring to watch as well! 😊💪👍
