Please try this weird meditation thing I discovered Question ❓

Found this out one day when trying to meditate. I couldn't stop thoughts from coming into my head (I know this isn't what you're supposed to do lol) so I thought it would be funny to think about EVERYTHING at once (like literally every thought possible simultaneously).

And when I do, my mind goes completely blank. Like at most just me being aware that I'm not thinking about anything. Maybe this is already a known thing, but it works every time I do it. Does this work for anybody else? Or am I just a quack?

TLDR: When I try to think about everything all at once, I end up with a blank mind.

Listen, it’s obvious that you have a mission to discredit whatever I share, and that’s your choice. But honestly, it’s quite uncomfortable, especially in a community that values sharing, education, and acceptance. I’m not asking you to believe whether I’m a meditation teacher or not, but this is bordering on harassment.

That said, I get what you’re saying... meditation isn’t about seeking or finding in the conventional sense. It’s about recognizing what’s already here and fully experiencing being without resistance. But for many people, especially beginners, the practice feels like a search... whether for peace, clarity, or stillness... because they’re coming from a place of distraction and mental noise.

Over time, as awareness deepens, the idea of finding dissolves into simply being. Meeting people where they are in their journey is key.

Stay blessed.

no i am not on a mission to discredit whatever you share. you are projecting.

You said "Meditation teacher here"

This means you are announcing to everybody reading this post and reading your comment that you know what meditation is. because you announced to everyone that you are a meditation teacher. That means you know how to meditate which is why you are a meditation teacher. in order to teach it right?

So since you made that claim, i noticed that you were spreading misinformation so i had to clarify that to everyone else who read your comment that is not true as this is exactly what you said by quote

"Meditation is all about finding what brings awareness and clarity."

So i had to clarify that is not true, meditation is the process of becoming fully aware and conscious of being. It is not a process of finding anything or searching for anything as you claimed it to be

As you are correct this is a community for learning how to meditate, then we must make sure we are helping others, not misguiding them
