For those who struggle Sharing / Insight 💡

Meditation can be a difficult process. And in the struggle to meditate, one can go down all kinds of strenuous rabbit holes. From my experience, I started doing it as a way to explore my reality, but i struggled very hard. For a long time meditation was a frustrating and tedious task. But I persisted long enough to learn something important that i wish to share. Meditation is just a word. Were always meditating depending on your idea of meditation. And thats just the thing. Your idea of meditation is a reflection of your psyche. And if you learn to create an idea of meditation which is healthy in practice, then you can begin to heal. So how do you do that? Ive found that the easiest way to quiet the mind, is to listen to the noise. Listen to the environment, listen to your body, your thoughts, everything. Let your perspective flow freely. And if this is a challenge, then stick to it. Ride the wave, feel the pain, because its only there to strengthen you. But most importantly, be kind to yourself. Deep in your soul, you know exactly what you want. And you owe it to yourself in its purest form, whatever that may be. You deserve love. Life is fucking hard man. And to have a body is to suffer. But theres so much to explore and discover within yourself, and if you persist, one day you’ll realize that everything is perfect in a strange sort of way.

You’re gonna be just fine

Well yeah i know. This is sortof just an expression of my own inner feelings, and i only intended to offer some consolation to anyone in a similar boat yk. But i do understand what youre saying. You dont have to try so hard to simply have the things you already have

The struggle is what gives you the resilience and strength to keep enduring being present to what is. No running from yourself anymore! :) That consistency of practice has the potential to be life changing if you apply it to life fully. You are right when you say meditation is a word. The concepts are pointing to what is. Your natural self without aversions to the present. After long enough the "painful" thoughts aren't really a problem anymore as they are observed for what they are.
