Was Feeling Depressed All Day Until I Meditated!

[GeorgeJL]

I've gotten pretty good at meditation. Today I was feeling more depressed than usual so I meditated for just about 15-20 minutes and now I feel so much better. Meditation might help you too. And no I am not trolling. If you see the posts I've made in the past I am very much pro-choice when it comes to suicide.

George - have you tried the Wim Hof breathing method? It's quick and easy, and for some it's even more effective.

I've been listening to 'the science of enlightenment ' and chinzen ? says he did a retreat for three months in icey conditions ... it's a bit of a Wim Hof cross over .

Seems to make sense that we evolved with the cold ( pre fire ) and that re-engaging with that visceral
objective discomfort may be 'healthier' psychologically .

Fuck .

I don't like the cold !

Looks so relaxing.

Looks so relaxing.

It is.

It's not hyperventilating - each breath is deep in, but gently releasing out.

Do this 30 times. Then on the 30th breath, release out, then hold the release out for 1 to 3 minutes ... basically when you feel that sensation that you must beathe (do not force yourself to hold your breath beyond what is comfortable) take a deep breath in, then hold that breath in for 15 seconds, then release. That's 1 round.

Do 2 more times (just explained above).

Here is another tutotial:
