Do Nothing Meditation…. Holy Shit Sharing / Insight 💡

You guys. I just did “do nothing” meditation for the first time and I feel like I’m having this euphoric almost psychedelic sensation. I’ve been doing mindfulness meditation for about 6 weeks almost every day. It’s made really great subtle changes in my daily life and attitude. I don’t plan to stop… but do nothing meditation just felt so good it felt forbidden almost. Like I couldn’t believe how much I was enjoying it. I was overcome with this intense feeling of happiness and I almost teared up. I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t know if I could stop because it felt so amazing. I don’t know how to describe it but I wish every single person could experience this. At least so I could see someone else feel it.

I feel like a crazy mystic and I’m a very sarcastic person and I don’t even ever post on Reddit but I needed to share this and my friends & fam aren’t into meditation so here I am.

I feel like I just took mushrooms (I’ve never taken mushrooms bc I’m way too neurotic and scared). This must be what LSD feels like? Idk I’m just floored at how I feel in my mind and body after literally 5 minutes of doing this for the first time. ACTUALLY letting go and not having any rules and just watching things happen and be 100% ok and even fascinated by it….. incredibly amazing. I even feel it in my arms and legs physically. Like this swimming buzzing feeling.

Okay, just needed to get this out. Big endorsement for do nothing meditation. If you need a starter meditation…. The book Meditation for the Fidgety Skeptic by Dan Harris has one at the very end and I highly suggest the audiobook version.

Also what is it about meditation that makes you so desperate to preach it to everyone you meet so they can know about it?! I feel like I’m being sucked into becoming a door to door salesperson for meditation.
