Progress thread Abdiel’s routine and progress thread.

This is almost identical to the meditation I've been reading about on my path to Buddhism. I've always struggled with my thoughts racing and not being able to maintain the breathing rate. How did you become acclimated into this routine?
I know what you mean about racing thoughts though all you’ve gotta do is to let those thoughts just be there without giving them any sort of attention as thoughts will always pop up in your head.

Just focus on your breathing and the thoughts will be less and not so intrusive. The key to finding inner calmness is to always focus on your deep, controlled breathing when meditating.

When it comes to getting accustomed to meditation it just takes practice and repetition, as in doing your meditation everyday, preferably. Been meditating on and off for over 15 years but in the last 4 years it has basically been a daily practice for me, meditating for at least 30 mins everyday, sometimes up to an hour.

What you also can do to start off with is finding a bineural beats soundtrack on YT to listen to while meditating or a soundtrack with positive affirmations, whatever you would like, and listen to it through a headset while meditating.

I listen to positive affirmation soundtracks sometimes when meditating and it feels like something I’m just playing in the back of my mind while focusing on my relaxed, controlled breathing. Point is, it’s all about your breathing.

What you also can do is find a mantra that you repeat in your head when breathing, for an example I think «Sat» when breathing in and «Nam» when breathing out. Combined «Sat Nam» means «I am truth» or «truth is my essence».
The words origine is from an ancient Sikh language called Gurmukhi.


Best of luck, brother, on your journey to Buddhism. Truly hope and believe you’ll find inner peace that way.

Namaste.
 
11.09.23- Did 40 mins of BTC-BS and 5x5x3 in one session took me about 2h10mins in total and will do my best to stick to this routine everyday.

Also extended for 3h22mins in total, will get more extension time in today as I’m aiming for at least 5 hours a day.

OMG, thank you brother. You truly are a wizard with words. Thank you for the encouragement, I'll use these tonight if I can. And I WILL become a Buddhist, I know I will. Every corner of my life is pointing me in the direction of the teachings Gautama Buddha.

No problem brother, glad you found it useful and glad that you are on your way to becoming a Buddihst. I know how good it feels to have some guidance and meaning in life, which you obviously have found through Buddhism.

Also, thanks for the flattering feedback, much appreciated.
 
13.09.23- Did my usual 40 mins of BTC-BS and 5x5x3 in one session, 2h10mins of hard, focused work. Reminding myself that I’m only going this intense and hard for a set period of time.

Thinking I’ll be doing it this way until 15’th of June next year as that’s my birthday and my 1 year anniversary of going hard doing PE.

Extended for 5h01mins in total yesterday as well, really making the best of the time that I’ve got and putting in hours of PE on the daily. So thankful I finally have the time in my life to focus 100% on doing PE.
 
14.09.23- Did my usual 40 mins of BTC-BS and 5x5x3 got the total time down to 2h05mins.

Also really felt the stretch from the BTC-BS yesterday, a very, very good stretching session and also got a mm or two above 20 cm in the pump yesterday as well. So looking good thus far.

Extended for a total of 4h20mins yesterday as well.

Have you ever tried visualization meditation ?

If not try this out : )

Next time you meditate visualize a golden ball of energy spiraling 🌀 up the back and down the front in your med section between the navel and lower back.

With your mind’s eye move towards your navel and let spiral and breath into it.

Nope never tried it, will give it a go in my next meditation session to see what it’s like.

Thank you for the tip brother.😊
 
15.09.23- Did my usual 40 mins of BTC-BS followed by the 5x5x3. Really good stretching and pumping session yesterday as well. Really felt the stretch in my inner penis and squeezed all the blood from my penis head when doing SSJ’s. Got some really good expansion going.

Extended for 5h00mins yesterday as well.
