What does meditation help you with?

what do you think of it? i tried it almost like 7 years ago, had a bad experience the very first time and then i left it for years and years...lately it came up again. I think it helps to find ones centre. and let go. and and so many things:)

Medication helps me with sleeping, relaxing and just feeling groovy man. 😌

@DukeOfEarle groovy that's sound nice :) there're days i just love it and cannot wait to do it and days that i seem to miss the fun in it.
plus, when i do it in the morning it makes me sleepy :/
I don’t overdo it, mostly. Just a little here n there just to take the edge off. Puts things back into perspective; like how short your time is and how you don’t know when that’s gonna end. So why live your life worrying about a bunch of crap that you can’t change, have no power over and won’t matter in the long run anyway? Everything goes. Enjoy yourself when you can while you can. @elafina

no don't think i overdo it either..i'd like to do it more actually but i let it get into my life slowly as i rebel against it strongly some time ago. there are some days i can't stay still, i don't want to force myself into it either.
but as you say, it puts things in perspective. not only in time but also in space, if you think of space, then how small we are:)
On the macroscopic scale? Our solar system is subatomic. Us? We’re just the quarks that make up a tiny portion of that subatomic array. @elafina

but you can go the other way around too, imagine yourself/body to be the whole world..:) and nothing else to exist apart from you
That is way too much responsibility. 😂@elafina
Oh wow! This thread is about [i]meditation[/i] not medication! Whoops. 🤷🏻‍♂️

looool amazing ahahahah :))) really, we both had a conversation!
I have meditated as well...and the two are not too far apart. One is organic and the other is holistic..or maybe both are a bit column A column B in equal measure. 😉

as it seems they're not too far apart, and our will to communicate is stronger than the actual information perhaps.
on what you say now, i think it depends on which medication are we talking about and how one is practicing meditation too.
but yes, drugs, meditation..
Its not prescription and definitely on the tame end of the spectrum. Think Bob Marley or Snoop Dog and you’re on the right track. 😊@elafina

Snoop Dog omg let me post about it, it'll make some roll their eyes!
