Meditation

Mindfulness meditation has been extremely helpful to me in dealing with anxiety and depression, and also in quitting PMO. I strongly recommend it.

I would recommend you read "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Gunaratna. It's the best book on the subject I've read, and I've read a lot. You can also check out mindful.org

 

Thanks, 11 for the book recommendation and the link. Lots of good reviews on goodreads as well, so I went ahead and ordered a copy. I'm just beginning to think about beginning a meditation habit as well, and turned to utube vids, esp the Vipassana way which is supposed to cleanse the subconscious of any desires and aversions. Sounds right up my alley! I do find that just monitoring my breathing will help me fall back asleep at night when my mind is racing away, although sometimes it takes awhile.

I plan to start with 10 min. and work my way up. I know it will be a struggle to find some time in the day where I can meditate uninterrupted for any length of time.

 

I think without meditation, I probably wouldn't be here today. After a while, it extends into your daily routine and becomes more than just sitting and watching your breath. If you like audio tracks, these are good and plentiful http://www.tarabrach.com/audioarchives-guided-meditations.html

 

discovered nofap after years of breath meditation , i realized nofap is a lot easier for me compared to my friends im 19 years old still on puberty XD , i noticed the sensation of the breath feels more warmer, compact, stable and solid when on NoFap i call it breathgasm , meditation helps nofap & nofap helps meditation this is seriously a good combination

 

I use my phone and a couple guided mediation podcasts. They are a great help to get started. Start with the breathing exercises it is great and slows the mind down. You learn to let the wondering thoughts pass in by.
