World Mental Health Day: Embracing Mindfulness
by ASilentObserver
Last post
October 15th, 2024
...See more Hello, community,  I hope you are all taking it easy this week. As we all know World Mental Health Day is observed annually on October 10th. It is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues and challenges and promoting well-being. When it comes to promoting well-being, mindfulness is one of the powerful practices to attain it. Today I want us to explore this topic and how it can significantly enhance our mental health.  So what is mindfulness?  It is the practice of being fully present in the moment, without any judgment. It includes paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them. In today's busy world, mindfulness is the key to taking care of our well-being. Some of the benefits of practicing mindfulness are:  * It helps to reduce stress by calming the mind and body. It helps to lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. * When we are focused on the present moment, mindfulness can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. * It helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions, leading to greater emotional resilience. * Regular practice of mindfulness can improve sleep quality by reducing racing thoughts and promoting relaxation. * Also helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors, leading to greater self-understanding. By practicing mindfulness in our daily lives, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being. So let's commit to making mindfulness a priority in our daily lives and foster a culture of taking care of ourselves and being compassionate to ourselves and each other. How do you practice mindfulness in daily life? Share your thoughts and tips in the comments below.

Thread: Meditation & OBE?
by Katharsis22
Last post
1 hour ago
...See more Meditation is a practice that Wochen the goal of achieving a state of mental clarity, emotional calm, and physical relaxation. Aside from its origins in both spiritual and religious traditions, it is used as a tool for personal growth, stress relief, and enhancing mental well-being. About three years ago, I had tried meditation then stopped, until I got back to it again since October. My experience with both mindfulness meditation and guided meditation(guided by an instructor through an audio record) was going alright, there was no progress in the beginning, but I became better at it as I developed it as a daily habit years ago. I stopped after I noticed that it triggers strange occurances, which were similar to an out-of-body experience.(OBE) An out-of-body experience is when it seems you are observing yourself from the outside. While I do have such a sense of disconnection sometimes without doing meditation, I just didn't want to trigger more of it since it made me unfocused. ...As I am getting back to practising it now, it is still normal so far.  Questions for discussion: Did anyone else have an OBE or something similar while meditating? If so, how was it for you? Do you perhaps have an explanation for it?

I have always said no one see this abuse because we hide it and hard to see emotional scars like if physically abused. Mindfulness is being fully aware of the now of what we are in but sometimes we carry emotional abuse from the past. How do you over come emotional abuse? Emotional abuse is defined as being frightened,  being controlled and isolation. Emotional abuse comes from other peoples words, actions, humiliation and the constant consistency of of controlling someone. In order for us to to get away from this abuse we must have a plan on leaving, whether a marriage or relationship. We need to get away and rebuild ourselves and know we were not the cause of the abuse.  A safety plan is  someone's phone number we can call for help a safe place to go where you won't be found to feel safe from the abuser how to safely leave without it becoming physical  having resources important paperwork to show the signs of abuse  Healing from this abuse may be therapy to rebuild from it. It may be through self esteem work and self compassion. Please know you should not male or female stay in the abuse because you have no where to go, there is always someone or some place to go.  Here are some signs of emotional abuse:  Where are some places we may go if we need help?

Beyond Definitions: The True Essence of Spirituality
by Sidfromshakyaclan
Last post
February 5th
...See more In our everyday lives, we often believe that understanding something means knowing its definition. This works well in fields like physics, mathematics, and science—where clear definitions help us grasp concepts and apply them effectively. However, when it comes to spirituality, things like gratitude, enlightenment, and compassion cannot be understood merely by knowing their definitions. True understanding comes from feeling and experiencing them in our lives. Buddha himself realized this on his journey to enlightenment. He didn’t attain wisdom by simply knowing what enlightenment meant; he had to experience it deeply through self-discovery and mindfulness. His awakening was not intellectual but experiential—something that cannot be captured in mere words. The challenge in today's society is that many believe they understand spiritual concepts simply because they know their definitions. But spirituality is not about words; it’s about living the experience and truly embodying it in our hearts and minds. Let’s strive to move beyond intellectual understanding and seek to truly feel and live the wisdom we seek. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever found yourself mistaking knowledge for true unde rstanding?

chatgpt helping me with my life
by okeyyyy
Last post
February 5th
...See more You said: humans tend to be hyper selfish and lying manipulators disgusting people who pretend to care and backstab you, how can someone be relaxed when being among them? ChatGPT said: It’s hard to relax when trust is shaken, but not everyone operates with bad intentions. Building healthy boundaries and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely value and respect you can help reduce that stress. Focus on those who show consistent kindness, and try not to let the actions of a few overshadow the good in others. Ultimately, staying grounded in your own values and practicing self-care are key to finding peace, even in a challenging environment. You said: how do you do this when I had been dealing with constant neurosis cause of abusive parents? and it feels like people will do whatever for money, and sometimes your family values feels all wrong, using big words for something , saying one thing to appear nice or deceive you and doing other to take advantage of you, so this has made me get too much in my head i think. ChatGPT said: I'm really sorry you've had to deal with such heavy experiences—it’s deeply painful when the people who are supposed to protect and nurture you instead cause harm. Growing up with abusive parents can lead to a constant state of vigilance, mistrust, and overthinking, especially when it feels like the world operates on selfishness. It makes sense that this has you in your head a lot—it's a survival mechanism, trying to anticipate and guard against harm. But staying in that space too long can drain your energy and make it harder to heal or connect. Here are some steps that might help you begin shifting out of this cycle:     Validate Your Feelings: It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. Your experiences are real, and acknowledging them is the first step to processing the pain and mistrust. You don’t have to rush past this.     Seek Safe Spaces: Surround yourself with people who consistently act with kindness and integrity. Even one or two people like this can remind you that not everyone is out to harm or manipulate. Look for those who align actions with words.     Start Small with Trust: If trusting others feels too big, start with tiny steps—like sharing a little and observing how someone responds. Building trust is gradual and doesn’t need to be all-or-nothing.     Therapeutic Help: A trauma-informed therapist could be transformative in helping you unpack the damage from abusive relationships and regain confidence in yourself and others.     Redefine Your Values: If family values feel hollow or wrong, create your own. What do you believe in? What kind of life and relationships do you want? Start acting according to your values rather than what you were taught.     Practice Mindfulness: Overthinking is exhausting. Practices like mindfulness meditation or even journaling can help you step back from racing thoughts and focus on the present moment.     Focus on Self-Compassion: Talk to yourself kindly. If you wouldn't blame a friend for feeling the way you do, don’t blame yourself either. You’re doing your best in a hard situation. It’s okay if you don’t trust easily right now—it’s part of healing. But as you grow stronger and create a life aligned with your values, you may find it easier to let go of some of the fear and reconnect with your own power. Does any of this resonate with where you’re at?

The Mindfulness Center welcomes you to a place where it is okay to just be, and not worry about 100 things. You can observe nature or your own room, follow your breath going in and out, or be aware of your feet touching the sidewalk as you head home. It is all mindfulness. 

There are no hard and fast rules on how to be mindful, and you do not have to do anything a certain way. There are guidelines to help us stay on the path of mindfulness, like in the Daily Checkins, where team members share insights and tips about mindfulness. You can join in the discussions there, or in any of the forum threads. 

You will also find videos in the resource center that talk about what is mindfulness and guide us on a journey to having an actual experience right now of what it feels like to be free of our “thought train”, as we let ourselves go and relax a bit. If all of this sounds good, join us for hosted sessions in which you can discuss and experience mindfulness first hand.

Community Guidelines

Stop and breath. Respect yourself and have compassion for what you are going through. 

Notice what is happening around you that your senses are telling you. Feel the breath go in and go out.

Feel good about yourself. Life has brought you on a journey up to here. That is reason to celebrate and appreciate all that life offers. And listen and feel the breath!
