Namaste Rising SunA Story by CandydThoughtsHow morning meditation helped me throughout my day.Get that CHINESE VOODOO OUT OF HERE THIS IS MURICA! Again I don't like getting into the health benefits of morning meditation, because I feel like I am not qualified or skilled to explain why it helps, I just want to tell you about my experiences doing it for the past two months. Again if you are really interested in doing it look it up and research it yourself to see if its what you want to implement in your life. I do guided meditation, its basically a voice over guiding you through your ten minute meditation every morning. THIS IS NOT A PAID ADVERTISEMENT (though I wish it was) I use the phone app Serenity, I find it really great and has helped me a lot with clearing out my mind clutter and some other goodies. Why did I start meditation? Well for starters I just wanted to be more present, also I heard it would clear up mind chatter and possibly help you forget traumatic events. Sadly the last part is false... Unless Its kept away by a monk meditating in a cave somewhere in Nepal. Time for a road trip. Well in short... I wish I knew about this earlier in my life. I love it, I am excited every morning to just sit down in a chair close my eyes and just follow a voice while I mentally take a stroll in my head for ten minutes. And no its not because I am Asian I enjoy this, if anything I am very American, I mean I can't speak my mothers main language. In today's society we sort of took away the idea of our inner self. Actually for the most part a lot of people don't know who they actually are inside. I know for sure I thought I did for the longest time but realized I am only scraping the surface of finding out who I really am. But if you truly already know yourself in and out don't bother reading this, and also if you don't mind message me so I can get some advice on how you achieved this, thank you. We tend to outwardly put our trust in "God" "Religion" "other people" seeking answers or waiting for a response from something higher to answer all our questions about ourselves. Have you ever once thought to just sit by yourself close your eyes and just seek out the thing you want answered your own damn self? I am talking about truly being alone and contemplate why you are in pain? Now I am not a atheist nor am I religious, and dear God if I say I am "spiritual" just send me to the hottest place in hell. But just think, really digging deep in your mind you start to realize you have a lot of people in there. Oh dear this might be evidence to send me in a loony bin. Even though I want to delve deeper in that subject I will stick to the benefits I saw in myself in meditation. Yes I discovered a lot of things about myself and sometimes it was hours after the meditation. I remember breaking down in the middle of my meditation crying my eyes out, because I put a lot of subconscious fortifications to block things I didn't want to think about. Or things that I replayed over and over in my head to intentionally suffer. I realized that you do have control of your emotions and your mind tends to let things affect you, I learned so much by just being truly alone in my head. I realized a lot of what made me tick, and why I conduct myself like a "happy person" even though a lot of times I wasn't. Meditation let me see a lot in myself. Another added benefit was my mind wasn't all over the place like it normally was, I became driven based, I focused more on what had to be done in that day, rather then procrastinate and feel sorry for myself and waste the day. I always have been a rather busy person, but I always had a massive brain fog and sometimes would have to take a step back and think on what I had to do next, with meditation I just knew what to do, how to do it. Now its no adderall or any drug for that matter it just clears your mind, or just my mind. Lastly I tended to memorize numbers and memories. I am so slow at memorizing thing but when I started meditation I found myself again remembering discount codes and I even surprised my damn self when I remembered my whole credit information details. Good and bad memories I remember now. I remember taking my first strawberry flavored vodka shot, I remember jumping in a shallow part of the river in the Mekong delta making a fool of myself, I remember having romantic walks in Venice. Good and bad I just have a better memory of my past. Well yeah my conclusion is you should do it! I believe there is a lot things you tend to discover about yourself, it could be good it could be bad but hey your are learning things about yourself. Its only ten minutes out your morning so why not? "I remember seeing my life alter in a different direction on what I anticipated" -Andrew Paul Caasi
