Cycling Senses Meditation Technique - Part 1

A meditation technique that I found quite helpful.

When I first started meditation I had difficulty concentrating on the breath. It seemed like I would get distracted and could only meditate for about 5-10 minutes. If I did meditate beyond 10 minutes, it was usually not very focused and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.

Once I started using this technique, I was able to progress faster in my meditation. I hope this method can help those of you who may have experienced the same challenges that I did.

The video is broken into 2 parts because the instructions went a bit longer than I expected. Not too bad though, it only ended up being two 7-minute videos.

Great, I just noticed that videos can be up to 15 minutes now...I'll keep it in mind for next time.

@IChoseTheRedPill I'm not familiar with DBT; is it a meditation program?

There's a program called MBST (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) taught by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I wouldn't be surprised if they used similar techniques as well. Many of these exercises work towards common goals.

I read about this technique somewhere a while ago but I'm not sure where I found it. I'd provide the source if I happen to come across it again.

interesting... i used to go out with a girl who used DBT to help treat her borderline personality disorder... part of this therapy included exercises presented here in your video...

@AZUREGLIDE It sounds like you're describing Yoga Nidra. That's a great technique to relax and fall asleep.

You're exactly right though, the whole point is to avoid creating and focusing on that mental chatter.

Interesting. Its a bit like the awareness technique where you focus on your hands, feet, arms etc. Anything to shut the bloody mind chatter off!!
