    Growing up, my biggest passion was spirituality but unfortunately at the age of 19 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Visual and auditiory hallucinations made me believe that I would never be able to enjoy the fruits of meditation ever again, and this resulted in the absolute demolishion of my desire to live. This was followed by 2 suicide attempts that left me stuck in a psych ward for the whole of last year...
    Long story short... I taught myself many hacks to push through a full hour of meditation without allowing the voices and visions to suede me into giving up. Ive done 3 days in succession and plan on continuing every day until Im hopefully able to attain the state of mindfulness that I used to have before schizophrenia.
    This life is aggressive but it doesnt owe you anything. If you're reading this please know that you are way stronger than you could ever imagine. Strong desire can transform your life spectacularly, and pain and suffering is the source of our power

      in that case i'm always meditating. I'd say i started when i was about 4 or 5 years old, i remember becoming more aware after a shocking idea entered my head, i started by practicing awareness of myself and my growth or when i made a mistake and often contemplated what was going on around me to a large extent. I matured faster and learned things quicker, i was able to make it into a strong passive intuition and am hyper aware of others and myself and my general surroundings. I'm usually able to read the room or individuals studying and making connections between patterns of behavior and just the vibe in general. I check in on myself and get deep. I think about the bigger picture and have had a bit of fun trying to theorize about how the universe at large operates. I don't think i'm right, but i like the idea of trying to see patterns ,especially ones that repeat or have relationships between large and small at scale, things like how our world on the sub-atomic scale curiously behaves like theories we have explaining how black and white holes operate or share congruencies with things we see on a cosmic scale. It is curious how we may think about ourselves as a spec in the universe at large but draw similarity between things so small we cannot physically see but with complex math and science can measure how they behave and curious yet again that parallel (or seem to be) with how our galaxies and observable universe looks and behaves.
      To be mindful is also to be in more control of yourself and not becoming a creature of only habit and dying mental or spiritual growth however you choose to see it.
      Meditation is for everyone and doesn't require anything special other than a mind that is open and a bit of focus. (ADD makes it hard, but if i can do it i think anyone can).

      There is no problem, except that you decide to define it as such. Being aware of your thinking is part of the solution. With the right attitude, you can achieve silence. But it starts with non-judgmental awareness. In other words, don't judge it as a "problem."

      @@RodMartinJr It is a problem for me. You see people with anxiety disorders find it very hard, these thoughts that race through your mind at an extreme pace, so much so that u cant even get a moment of peace, yes your advice is sound but some of us lack the innate ability and practice to shut down our thoughts.
      Sometimes i just wish if there was a switch to turn off, sometimes i just want to sleep without my heart racing, sometimes only thing i want dearly is a moment of silence in there and a night full of sound sleep.

It's not about being quiet and (completely) clearing the mind, but to be aware of what you're experiencing, what you hear, what you feel (e.g. is it warm or cold, windy). It's about concentrating on one thing at a time and experiencing it fully with all your senses.

    I want to learn how to meditate so bad! I am 46. I also have severe ADD. I have entire life. I get so distracted everytime I try. I'm glad I found your channel. Perhaps your videos can help me. Also, if anyone reading this has any words of wisdom or advice, I would love to hear! Thank you!

      I also want to meditate as well and I’m scared that I might mess up but I really need it. You can do it I know you will ❤ Have a good day 😊
