My mind automatically went into meditation mode: Keeping track of my breathing, focusing on what I could feel, how my body felt, how the music sounded, what outside noise was audible.
Same but a little more relaxed and I thought of the show the walking dead at the end but with myself being in the show. amusing at how extra still my mind was being, When I allowed it the permission to wonder.
Thanks Daniel, very nice and different videos. We need more ways to be un-distracted like this. I closed my eyes and just focused on watching what's there already. Thank you!
I found myself doubting myself, thinking, "did I miss or forget anything he said? I hope I am doing this as intended". I noticed myself for a moment focusing on my breath, but remembered you said that was not what we were doing, so I tried to stop, and cleared my mind... but then thought, wait, this is not about trying to clear my mind, either. I also noticed my work computer humming, and some part of me wanted to shut it down, but I resisted. My wife texted me, and I had the urge to check, but thought, "I can wait a couple more minutes before checking that." One of my cats got into something, and was making a noise behind me, and I couldn't resist turning around and peeking to make sure she wasn't into something I didn't want her into. (She had jumped on my drafting table, but fortunately I didn't have anything on it but my sketchbook/dream journal, and so I wasn't worried she would damage anything.) I thought I should do a lucidity/reality check while doing this, so I did a quick nose pinch.
I thought "this is actually great, when the video is over I have to make a comment saying that I loved it." Lol. I meditate sometimes (need to do it more often) so I enjoyed the process, the quietness. I was also thinking "oh this sound is nice, I better save the video"... Very good, indeed, Daniel. 👍
My thoughts during the 3 minutes were about if I was doing it wrong. I actually had to restart it to assure myself that I was doing it correctly, but once I started it again, my first few thoughts were poking around topics that are really "sticky" - topics I think about a lot. I poked at them a bit but then thought that it would be "cringe" if that's what I ended up writing about. My hand was also placed on my neck where I could feel my heartbeat starting to pick up a bit. I let those thoughts go before I envisioned this big, pink flower before that drifted to just a voice asking me if I wanted to explore deeper and that it was safe to. I accepted, but for the next few seconds my brain was just throwing random things (shapes, colors) at me before the 3 minutes was up. My reflection on those thoughts is that I was trying to guide them too much - ignoring thoughts that usually bring me comfort in exchange for ones that could seem more "beneficial". I'm being honest in that I was thinking about what my 3 minutes would be like on the drive home, which may have influenced the outcome. I'm also being honest when I say that if I knew that I didn’t have to write anything down, they probably would have been different. It's an interesting approach and even seeing how I modified my own thoughts says a lot about how I function. Very interesting video that serves a point! I really liked this as, not only did I get some insights out of this, but it also relaxed me - I couldn't believe the 3 minutes were up!
Thanks for the video. The three minutes (which felt way shorter) started with me to start counting my breaths (thats what I am often doing while meditating or falling in sleep). I said to myself dont do it, just sit still. Then I heard some outside sounds (cars), but at some point the music of the video sounds seems to get louder and louder, and I started fusing with it. After some time I had the feeling i started floating. Also the temperature seems to be rising within the room. And then the load bell sound came and I was a little frustrated about that because it brought me back to the "real"world. I thought: i dont want the fuse with the music again... but then three minutes were already over and I was really surprised by it.
I looked inward toward my mind and saw that its really nice and quiet, very serene in here. I then asked myself why? I have been doing a lot of meditation today, specfically gateway process' after a good nap. I then found myself trying to observe my thoughts going through the topic and finding other answers, and then it just started to feel like I was monologuing my own observations, like your thinking about this and seeing it like this while telling it to yourself like this etc... monologue monologue
Don't mind journaling to help your algorithm. Was just driving, keeping eyes open and watching my thoughts come and go and change and notice. Looking forward to being more lucid. Thanks for the reminders
I thought about discomfort and how much I didn't want to do this right nos because I'm sitting on the toilet, Escape From New York, Better Call Saul, Roblox, questioned my life choices, felt really relaxed at one point, like I was meditating. Sorry, I shouldn't have done this but I peeked a few times at the screen. When the gong sounded, I thought: it's already been three minutes? Would write more, but mom called me downstairs to eat.
I was drifting off, falling asleep. The chime brought me back. I don’t remember what happened, maybe preparing for travel, yet it was such a light thought. At first struggle to not distract, then nearly blank sleeping.
I am not moving and then i am on a space ship…I have spaceship gear on. And then I go off and fight. I realize I am GOD. I break into pieces and I am a friend to anyone who needs me.
Honestly when im sitting free my mind is loaded by thoughts but sitting idle for this video knowing that i was just so un distracted and kept track of time passing Enjoyed!
It took me a few seconds for my inner stimuli to overwrite my sensory stimuli. Once that happened, I was thinking about all sorts of projects of mine, specifically a constructed language project of mine that is still in the making. For a few moments, I felt like being somewhere else completely, almost as if sitting comfortably amongst bookshelves. The shocking thing was the gong, for it sounded earlier than expected. Three minutes passed really pleasantly and even productively I would say. I have at least two new ideas for my project and I currently still feel like I am lighter. I must admit, today was a long day of doom scrolling for me. I didn't even realise that my mind was like a stirred pond with mucky waters. I can't believe that three minutes of just watching my thoughts have caused my mind to quiet down and become so much clearer. I am really thankful for this video. Thank you Daniel!
I was thinking about the future and all the great things I can really accomplish if I put my mind to it. I live with my mom, saving money to move out and get my own place. I pictured my own house with a beautiful wife and kids, manager of my kitchen and feeding the homeless( everyone needs food). I can do everything I want to do if I put my mind to it.
‘First thing I noticed is that I’ve clearly been staring at a light way too long because I have a huge rectangular floater in my vision and I was just looking at that. Then it faded away and I imagined myself talking about it in the comments in the way that I just have. I am thinking about the previous words and these ones narrating through my head right now. I understand what I’m doing right now because I know that this is something that I often do. I like to get thinking out of the way ahead of time. I like making interactions smooth. I like to simplify everything as much as possible for ease of comprehension. But why? Why do I simplify so much? I mean it makes sense I guess. But still I have such a tendency to do this and I don’t think that everyone else does. I wonder if this is something I can learn to be more aware of, let go of and it will aid me in real life and in the pursuit of lucid dreams. It’s funny because I definitely care more about the possible aid to lucid dreams than advancing “in real life.” Perhaps that’s a good thing though. I mean this realisation should help me set the intent to lucid dream tonight. I wonder if this comment will be interesting enough for others. I don’t want to care about what other people could think about it though. I’ve just noticed that my eyes are strained even though they’re closed. Relaxing them now. You know this music actually sounds really nice. I just realised that I was putting pressure on myself to do well, but like I got told while dancing that one time, not everything has to be a test. I don’t need to put pressure on myself all the time. Ok if I can remember all this, maybe this comment will be kinda cool.’
I started doing counting meditation, then I thought is that cheating 😂, Then I was thinking what's that's scratching noise. It was just the start of the music. Then I heard a car noise and realised my curtain is open and my neighbours will think I'm crazy sitting at my table with my eyes closed. Then I was relatively centred for the rest of the time.
It’s like an instant off button for my brain, I’m actually scrolling through my phone while watching this video and I have to rewind the video just to experience that calmness again. Thanks.
When I first started the practice, I first started thinking about some art I saw that I found pretty awesome, then my mind shifted to how my life own life was going on, and what I do in everyday life, like think about people that I know and talk to, school, etc. After that It mostly just went into me asking "When is this video going to end?" "Can I open my eyes?" and also "Where is that music coming from?"
Felt a large empty but comfortable void. Starting thinking about my recently deceased husband and how I would like to start having dreams of him. Sounds were very relaxing. I am ready to learn more!
I so enjoyed the sound, so relaxing, I resonated with it. I did not think of anything, just stayed aware of the sound. I also think it felt shorter than 3 mins.
My mind kind of just.. did nothing. I may have aphantasia? I tried not to look outside my mind, but then I thought, "Wait, that's trying to do something, too", and then I stayed centred for the rest, just focusing on the darkness and thoughts (which there weren't many at all, for a very refreshing change!). I will definitely do this again. Thank you!
I thought about everything that is clustering in my head, all the things I had planned and also about coming back to high school in a week. It's like I'm distracting myself away from these thoughts as I was listening to music a moment ago and by watching other videos on youtube. Thank you for helping me get more aware
My thoughts: I wonder what those clicking sounds from the dishwasher are? My cat is relaxed on my lap. I can feel my breathing and my chest moving up and down. I want to explore a planet only my imagination can create, to have the feeling of being free.
I just had a memory of a conversation I had with my mom when I was six. I wanted to learn meditation and she forbid it saying it was mind control. I’m 50 now and have had some training and some wonderful experiences.
I thought about the partial lucid dream I had last night, but imagining myself becoming fully lucid, and thought about just perspective from an MP-18 being continuously fired, and reloaded again. Interesting stuff. Two months into practicing lucid dreaming by the way! Two results! One being a fake lucid dream, and the second being the one from last night! The fake one was a couple weeks ago! Maybe a month!
My thought when the bell sounded was, "that's it?" I had a little back pain here and there. I had a little bit of fomo (fear of missing out), but not too bad. Besides this, it was relaxing.
I've had some experience with lucid/astral dreaming in the past, but lost it. It's been a long time, too long. Currently trying to get it back. At first I thought about nothing, and was surprised. Then I thought about some lucid events of the past; and landed on a memory of putting a specific concept to use in another application of my life, that I had also forgotten about. That concept being compartmentalization.
I was trying hard to stay focused. I repeated focus a few times in my head. Then i went into a dream almost then realized & told myself to focus again. (I'm tired) I heard the train. ❤
Man, that sure went by a lot faster than I thought it would! Interesting format. During the time, I was mostly getting imagery rather than raw thoughts, which is unusual because it is usually thoughts about projects I'm working on and massive challenges revolving around those. Before this video, I was watching a few cuckoo clock videos on RU-vid, so the song kept diverting into cuckoo clock songs and I was getting imagery of panning around a bunch of interesting cuckoo clock designs that most likely don't exist. Then the music triggered Minecraft music I know of, which is interesting because I haven't played it for ages, nor heard the music recently. There was a vague visual of it, but not much. Then I started thinking about parkour and seeing someone doing crazy parkour stunts, starting out with a pick axe and using it to cling onto things either falling or making huge motions that caused them to raise. Then there was a bunch of swinging on bars in so many different ways, some of which would be impossible, especially with the height increases throughout. I have watched parkour videos, but it has been a long time, so I'm surprised my mind went on that as long as it did and at all. It was very fun to watch and just let the mind do its thing! I really should do that more! I've been very on and off about it, but mostly off recently and should do it more, even for a short time period. When I heard the gong, the view suddenly changed after they did a huge impossible upward jump and caused me to turn my head straight up. Seconds before that, there were some parkour moves that made me laugh with how disjointed, ridiculous and impossible things looked. It honestly felt like I had woken up from a dream after finishing, so I can see how it can be very similar processes. Obviously, I should make sure I am maintaining metacognition throughout or at least, catching the metaphorical boomerang when it comes back after letting go.
i was wandering about me beeing bored with doing nothing and also trying to tell myself i need to write a new novella or short story because i now dont write anymore and feel like i'm not myself. i was thinking of writing a story about my personal problems (beeing bored etc) or writing a story about something i drew. i also thought of the need to meditate again. and had a little thought that was personal so i dont want to get this in the comments. these videos are realy good for me because i cant meditate without guided meditation (so binaural beats or a person talking) because i have a fear of sounds. maybe meditation without guide and taking in the sounds is what i realy need to battle this phobia (i think its called mysophonia or phonofobia, dont know wich, but i have it and i cant sleep without whitenoise because of it, even need to read with white noise to block out the scary noises.) anyway, good video.
During my 3 minutes, my mind sent me through flurries of uncategorized thoughts that swam through and around my brain like schools of fish. At a few points, I'd try to focus and my body would twitch a little, but what felt the best in the moment was to just let the fish swim, and let my mind wander where it wanted to wander. It felt... cathartic.
In these three minutes I had an inner debate with myself. I'm aware that I often pursue idealized friendships, just by seeing how much I would want to be in situations similar to my favorite games and series. But I am disappointed that I know that is just impossible, yet I'm still trying to escape from my reality. It's paradoxical that I want to be a lucid dreamer when I often daydream about other circumstances I can't achieve, and it haunts me to think I'll die someday knowing I never really had thay beyond my thoughts. I also thought that my room was really hot so I turned on my ceiling fan just right after the gong
i was creating hypothetical scenarios about future stuff, i realized that my dreams are often hypothetical stuff as well and i have way too little dreams that have to do with me, but rather with hypothetical plots or movies that my mind creates. I also thought in one moment that the guests that were in my house were looking at me, or someone was going to try to get in my room and wake me up, which is a frequent fear i have when meditating, as people here tend to just enter the room
At the start, i was just telling myself to look at my thoughts and relax. When the sounds and the lights started appearing I started listening to them, realizing I really enjoyed the peace and thinking that they sounded like the stereotypical binaural beats that are joked about on the channel from time to time. I had some thoughts telling me that "this is taking too long" and that I should "open my eyes," but I suppressed them and just continued listening. At about what I think was the 1 minute mark, a nice forest lake even popped up in my brain, after which I thought about that more and told myself to write that down. I also kinda hoped a longer version of the sounds would be uploaded since I felt so peaceful when they played. At the end, I got scared a bit by the gong and thought "that was really short, kinda sad that it's over" Really hope some more stuff like this gets uploaded! Edit: checked the things that were on the screen while my eyes were closed, turns out there weren't any flashes?
my mind went into meditation mode trying to be completely silent but after a while I started thinking if thats what i was supposed to be doing, probably not because the point of this was to let our mind free and I was limiting my thoughts so then I tried not to limit it and it went around things I did today and my plans for next dream
My mind went where it always went: a song playing on repeat, rn it's A Day To Remember's "You Should Have Killed Me When You Had The Chance" while an animatic with my OCs played out. It went from an actual scene, to a self-meta thing, briefly thought about music with Panic!'s "Emporer's New Clothes" and ADTR's "YSHKMWYHTC," before becoming an animatic along to YSHKMWYHTC again. Then it switched to a different OC being more meta, or expressing my inner thoughts, and how they're all kinda jumbled all the time. I was gonna get more philosophical with it, but then heard the gong.
I was thinking about whether it's possible to not think of anything. Then awareness shifted to the real implications of this practice. Of writing down dreams upon awakening increases dream quality and quantity, leading to lucidity and dream control.Then real mindfulness comes from writing down introsive thoughts not breathing. Because the quality and memory of thoughts improve, leading to more lucid thinking.
it was meditative, I saw visions of a beach with some ruins, and on the horizon of the ocean stood a great tree with an orb in the middle of its branches, after i continued to focus on meditating.
"Have you ever seen your face clearly in a mirror while lucid dreaming 🤔? I did during my very first try of the FILD method, and it was crystal clear. After seeing my clear appearance in the mirror, I got the idea to use shape-shifting powers to change my appearance to match my friend's. I witnessed the whole process: my face, the shape-shifting transition, and my friend's face-all in vivid detail." 💯 I also saw my clear face for a second time in another normal dream
Hello, nice Video, I love that there is no background music. So much better to concentrate on the talking. When closing my eyes Sometimes aktive thought came in like "Did he made this music with AI..." And some times there where parts were I did not aktivly though about something but saw images. I saw e.g a beautiful dragon first walking and then flying. Was beautifull this music an seeing the flying dragon ^^ . But I watched a video with a beautiful dragon before^^ (I want so see a dragon in a LD so badly:(.
i mostly thought about my past dreams like the one i joined a art group of where i played a horror game my i was also thinking about some games I've been playing lately and what im going to do playing them tomorrow
I'm a longtime meditator so silence this afternoon was peaceful and relaxing, admittedly not always the case. I do have a parakeet in this room so her occasional chirping became an anchor for the meditation, at least until the space music started....
I thought about what i was going to do tonight (watch another one of your videos, haha) and what i wanted to do tomorrow. But for some reason my mind was just blank for a lot of it. When i try and keep my mind clear during meditation, things always seem to pop up and take me off on a rabbit hole of thinking. But when i let it do what it wants to do, it stays silent. Interesting.
I just remember feeling impatient, and then really uncomfortable because of the music (it reminded me of traumatic things I don’t want to explain here). I thought about a few things for fleeting moments like my chronic illnesses that I’m trying to get officially diagnosed with and thinking about how my thoughts kept interrupting themselves (I have autism and ADHD, so makes sense, lol 😂), as well as thinking “I don’t even know what I’m thinking”. I’m a chronic metacognitive thinker… sometimes to my own detriment, lol. 😅 But my mind kept jumping around, it didn’t like that I was trying to make it watch itself right now. Was probably my PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) acting up. Overall, my mind kept distracting itself, without me telling it that it could… an everyday occurrence… 😭🤣
When I try to let my mind wander on purpose for some reason I find that difficult. I found myself focussing too much on what I was supposed to be doing instead of just letting my mind relax. But the thoughts that did pop into my mind were mostly images of my dog and I started thinking about old video games I used to play which made me feel nostalgic. I would love to see more interactive videos like this on the channel though
kept thinking about how distracted i am in my daily life that i alr feel the need to do something else, also thought it had only been 1 minute when the timer ended
As soon as I closed my eyes my attention was focused on the surrounding noises. The car on the street, birds, a motorcycle, a car alarm distant. Then a thought that maybe if I would use a device on my ears, while I sleep with a command of voice to look at my hands. I would be able to get more lucid dreams. Because It's my reality test method.
at first i just started enjoying the sounds of the videos, and then i started singing a song in my head. later on, near the end of the 3 minutes, i started thinking about conversations i had like an hour ago, cuz me and my brother talked about some deep shit, so i was kinda debating and trying to figure out what the truth is about the world, and trying to understand my friends' point of view on it, as well as trying to figure out what i thought about it. That's about it.
Where is the music leading me? Mountain ranges with amethyst Streaked lower then gradating to verdant green, scene change, aware of breathing slowing down, window frames within window frames, fading in and out, disintegrating and reintegrating, had a wee dram earlier, maybe that is affecting my thought processes, must try this again, different environments etc different results? Finally came the gong, I felt tempted to go past the gong and just let my mind wander
So I closed my eyes tried to be calm, noticed my breathing and focused a bit on that, then i noticed that my eyes couldnt relax and that bothered me, so i focused on that, then i shifted my focus back and forth from the music, my breathing, and my eyes, all while trying to relax, at some point i was anticipating the gong, and thats about it
Noticed room noises and background music. Kept coming back to work I need to do this afternoon. Speaking of that, gotta go get some stuff done now. Thanks!
I started thinking about bathrooms and sexual stuff, but then my mind drifted off, and I remembered part of a dream I thought I had forgotten. Then I thought about the imaginary person I want to marry in my lucid dreams, undecided as to whether I should have you or my coach officiate. I thought it a matter of loyalty to have my coach do it since he's the one who's been helping me lucid dream one on one. (But you're still invited! The wedding will be in Jamaica.)
This ENOish music steals the show. It’s nice. Should I open my eyes? Let’s try to incorporate touch and breathing to sound like I do sometimes in my meditation.
first i thought about how relaxing the music was.. thanks! then it got pretty random. i thought about starting to workout and thought about school next month already i thought about a game me and my relative and brothers play i thought about today's night i though about becoming a better lucid dreamer and achieving my goal of lucid dreaming also i thought about becoming an astronaut which is practically my dream i thought about being in the outer space looking at earth.. sorry for any typos i wrote it really fast❤
I saw first just shimmery waves of rainbow colors against a black void.... then suddenly arising from this field I saw an eye and kind of simultaneously the whole human face of my beloved. These two played back and forth. I saw his two eyes looking back at me as when he once did (when we were first partners in the physical 3D) very close, lying next to me. I saw many scenes then of us playful and laughing together, often in bed but not sexual moments... more like romping together, talking, him holding me and singing to me (the Peanuts Cloud song, which actually happened in this life's memory timeline "in the past"), and just flashing to various scenarios where we are genuinely "as One" having so much JOY, ease, relaxation and fun. Some were based in "real" memory, some felt like newly created visions. All of it was for me within this exercise "now." A few tears rolled down my face while we were in this liminal space... some awareness of the "memories" spanning too much time in the past, and almost 5 years apart, without seeing or speaking with each other in 3D realm, except a few email messages. Awareness of missing him. But also tears of pure bliss and joy because we were/are BACK IN CONTROL and so together having this experience of re-Union, with all obstacles and distorted, dark influences removed from our Play Field. I felt intense pleasure, just seeing us both laughing and playing close together, as if no-time has passed at all, and we ARE exactly where we want to be: lessons learned, stories of our separate adventures to share, feeling only love. The love of God, Goddess, Creator, Creatrix, Source flowing through our open hearts. Sacred Hearts. This is all of my purpose to be embodied in human form. To manifest our partnership divine, and marry it with this Be-ing "time" in human form, here on Earth. When the gong came, it felt like much less than 3 minutes. Like all this was seen inside my mind in just a few vignette moments... maybe one minute.
First i closed my eyes I focused on the shapes and colours behind my eyelids and wondered why the thing I was looking at looked like a tv. Then I thought about how I was going to survive going back to school for sixth form UNTIL the relaxing meditation music started playing, I thought ah! Some relaxing music, and it made me feel calm and it gave me and idea that I should definitely listen to relaxing music when I feel angry or upset. I then had the idea of listening to one of my youtube playlists which has lots of random videos that I wasn't going to watch, but just listen to the music of those videos, but then I thought there were some videos that I felt I wasn't allowed to listen to because of how it makes me feel. Then when I heard the bell it kind of disrupted my thought processes and I was thinking oi! What did you do that for? But then when I openned my eyes I realised it meant 3 minutes was up. I enjoyed that and I think I should do it more often.
I can't say I was alone with my thoughts, because of the music. At first I "saw" colour at the sides of my field of view and then I "was" floating sideways over a blue planet, its shade that of Neptune but lighter. Then I thought that this is what i was going to write about but told myself to not think about that for now. I could always see that the planet was slowly pulling me, the next were not visual. Some random words appeared in my thoughts, this is common for me, to get my mind filled with words just taking space, instead of actively thinking about something. I then wondered if this happens to others too. I also thought about something that my brother told me a bit before i started the video. Sometime blurry images appeared about how the surface was gonna be when I panded, it was lush. Then the time was up.
I thought about the sounds, then thought about what i was going to write, then thought about writing about me thinking about what i was going to write, then thought about that. Then i slightly opened my eyes because i thought someone was watching me and then saw the screen telling me to close my eyes. Then the bell rang.
Thoughts included... "Is this a trick? Sounds kinda like binaural beats - Daniel hates those!" Thoughts and Memories of being with my meditation group. Thoughts about what I could smell and some minor aches in my body. Thoughts about a Donald Duck video I saw before this one. Near the end I was thinking... "Has it been three minutes yet? Is this a trick and it goes on for the rest of the video?" I opened my eyes soon after the gong started, saw the 'Close Your Eyes' message and thought "Damn! I'm too early , should've watied till the gong sound had finished!"
My mind fell to meditation mode but once the music in the background started playing and changing tune, I'd see a change in patterns in the dark. It's called an entoptic phenomenon. But these patterns seemed to start changing and dancing with the music and it's frequencies.
Too much twaddle about lucid dreaming out there I only been watching content on this channel and science documentaries I notice my dream recall has improved thank you for helping me become a better lucid dreamer, Daniel 🎉
Thanks for your kind support, and I agree 100%, there's so much silliness when the subject deserves far better representation. Really glad to be able to help!
I thought about thinking and then thought about random bits and pieces of my day. i started thinking about rice and sushi and how hungry i was. I relised that i was itchy. I thought of anime. I actually felt good after the 3 minutes of no distractions and just letting my mind wonder.
I thought I should do some breathing thing or something but I decided not to as that isn’t what this is about or something. Then I thought about whether I was supposed to observe random imagery that appeared like you do with hypnogogic imagery and then I saw a glimpse of Anakin Skywalker for some reason but then I thought maybe that wasn’t the point. I then started thinking about how I should probably read more as I haven’t been reading much recently. Then I thought that would be a good revelation type thing to mention in this comment to make this seem productive. Then I thought about how I was probably write that last sentence after. As well as the one before this one. And also the one before this one, and so on. I thought about inception briefly because of this chain of thinking (kinda fitting since the movies about dreaming). But then my brain kinda connected or mistook the word inception for “introspection” which reminded me of a song I like by MGMT (well they didn’t make it, they covered but that’s the one I know best) and then I thought about how I saw a random Star Wars character earlier and I thought of the General Grievous guard things. I thought about how I would probably type that. I thought about how I was probably thinking about what I was thinking about too much instead of just thinking but then I thought if that’s what I’m thinking about then I guess that’s what I’ll think about. Then I thought about the moon and how the earth is spinning. I was looking forward to thinking about that part more but then the gong went off lol.
First my mind paid attention to the noises around, like my brother watching a movie or the song which was playing. After that i automaticly said some shifting affirmations in my mind. Then i started to visualize a world that i'm happy in.
Thoughts that came up in 3 minute meditation: Max: Isn’t it interesting how lately our nightmares consistently involve apocalyptic imagery and themes? Simon: I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry I hurt you. You don’t have to forgive me. Max: It’s okay Simon, I know you’re changing. Simon: I didn’t mean to hurt us I was confused, I didn’t know who I was. Samiel: You are loved, worthy of good things, and enough Simon. Simon: I am not enough. Simon: I think I prefer being called a fairy or demon to jinnie. Then heard gong and Max paused typed out thoughts then continued the video.
For the half of the time i was smiling because sound was distorted when i put the phone speaker close to my ear. Next i was thinking about writing this in the comments, and thinking about writing that i was thinking about writing this in the comments and realized that is kind of paradox or not ending chain. next i was thinking of a some meme person because of my parents were arguing. At the end, i was thinking that he is lying us and its not 3 minutes then it ended.
I spent quite a bit of time thinking about what an effective engagement strategy it is to tell people "they won't do" a thing and that they won't write their thoughts in the comment section. So basically I noticed myself being very cynical. And noticed how often my mind changes track.
well for me. I just wokeup. band Flickr Don this video. so I layed in bed. the 3 minutes started I started thinking about my jetski. about swaying on it with the waves causing me to Bob up and down side to side. and I was sitting and relaxing on it. then I started thinking about reality cheeks. then I started thinking about what I am gonna write in the comments. then I started thinking about. how peaceful the music was. and how relaxing it made me feel. I can't remember anything else. b
I went through a life review, Sent healing energys and modified timelines, Worked through All of the days questions and queerys, worked through all those that I know, And have connections with that was important to assist them In there place with a bit of cyclomancy, and thought/energy/other esoteric direction demensions including but not limited to multiple rei-ki modalitys, then Dived into internal wonderland, futuer possiblity reality creations, differing areas of where i would like to shidft the life to and started building and working through differing out puts of where and how i would like to buyild multiple locations that i would like to experince and live in.
To be honest, it was quite humbling at first, my brain was fighting this so badly. My thoughts were jumping all over the place like kids who had way too much sugar, reminding me of things I *needed to do right now*. (Spoiler-alert: None of them will be any more or less urgent in three minutes.) My guestimate is that it took me a minute to slow down just *be* in the moment, and then I was suprised that the three minutes were already over. This was surprising to me, because I'd just spent a few hours diamond painting, and there is little that I find more meditative than glueing a few thousand little stones down one by one. So I'd expected this to be easy! Maybe it was actually the other way round, and after a few hours with little dopamine, it was actually *harder* to do this? I'll try this again tomorrow.
When I went to do the meta-cognition exercise and I was just thinking about not thinking and then I thought about stuff involving meditation and then I wandered my mind to this cool video I saw about this Sadhu that took 5-MEO DMT and then it blanked and then my intellect hijacked that moment of clear mind and then I started thinking of a jumble of random ideas… then the bell rang. Let’s just say I have a lot of work to do 😅
"Eh, thoughts are messy not sure how accurate this is gonna be" picturing a turkish throat singer, "Should I be thinking about thinking about my thoughts?" picturing the ocean, I heard a motif that sounded a lot like the terraria daytime theme, heard something like a woman singing, "Man the comments on this video are gonna be pretty funny" pictured sunflowers "Man, when are these 3 minutes gonna be up :/" mostly quiet, then I heard the gong"
