I for one would love to read your 2000 word post about meditation.

You need to throw that coin into a furnace because the amount of negative energy you've channelled into it, it has to be possessed by now.

I exhale my negativity.

Mine is similar, and I think it might have been posted here, but instead I say the Litany Against Fear from Dune. Here it is:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

Might sound silly to some, but it works for me.

Cool, but that's not meditation, that's a visualization trick. Sure you could meditate on that visualization, but that doesn't seem to be what you're doing here.

I always carry a Slap Chop for similar reasons.

Not completely related to the post, but in support of OP, here is everything you need to know about meditation. If anything, just read Chapter 1 and you will agree with OP's point as to why it's so damn important. I truly hope it changes your life. Please share it with the world.

Thanks, I'll try this next time I'm out. I do something similar in trying to channel negative emotions through the ground, but I don't do it nearly enough. Over-thinking can be a bitch.

Wizard_of_Legacy · 2012-12-04T13:46:13+00:00

I use brute mental force to obliterate my bad nerves. I just kind of yell at myself inside my head and get my adrenaline pumping. "IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING, DO IT!"

I'm curious though: this isn't unhealthy is it?

Edgar_Allan_Rich · 2012-12-04T16:28:36+00:00

I usually just go masturbate in the men's room a little.

Baessler · 2012-12-04T16:16:10+00:00

I visualize, in words, my shortcomings. Then I visualize these words on a large sheet of paper. In my mind, I have the paper slowly crinkle into a ball, then be incinerated by a blowtorch. All worries have disappeared. "My negative thoughts do not exist. I have an abundance of all good things."

2012-12-04T19:08:41+00:00

Do you spin it to make sure you are still in the real world?

SNDD · 2012-12-04T14:39:25+00:00

I wear a charm on my neck for this purpose (among others). Works great!

2012-12-04T15:38:56+00:00

Negative coin trick! I love it! GREAT POST!

If that's what you think meditation is, I think you're doing it wrong. From my experience, I would say meditation helps you to know yourself and allows you to distinguish between your real "self" and irregular/irrational thoughts and feelings that arise from your interactions with your perceived environment. In that distinction, you become a better you.

urmyheartBeatStopR · 2012-12-04T16:20:35+00:00

Ah... I've tried this. It never worked for me. It doesn't seem like meditation? That's just me. I try stop thinking about negative stuff when I realize it because I tell myself it's stupid.

I've tried breathing technique and counting exhale it was decent.

Right now, I've recently learned this, I just tell myself to be happy and things will fall in to place. I just remind myself to be happy, act on being happy, and everything goes pretty well. And I found out problems aren't problems unless you let them get to you.

Well that's just me. Whatever works to make you a happy easy going person is all good. I remember someone posting about pretending to smile a lot and that pretending to smile helps him remember to be happy all the time. It works for me when I remind myself to be happy and act upon it. I think the key thing is to remind yourself and then act on it. Actions create emotion. And there's a quote about it.... that I'm about to butcher...nevermind I copied it down in a notebook (fills with useful motivation quote I've come across):

"One of the most profound concepts in psychology is when you act (do something) your feelings follow along behind. If you wait around to feel good or feel non-anxious, you'll be waiting around forever."

what of the poor son of a bitch who happens to find this coin on the ground some day D:

Crazyjanda · 2012-12-04T18:48:38+00:00

Like that you will never defeat your lack of self esteem and self-doubt, nervousness, or any negative emotion what so ever; all you do is trick your mind for the time with what you call " meditation " intu thinking that all of this is not a part of it at that time. This is not meditation, it is a trick and such it will only work for some time, but if you started to meditate to dis-attach from negative effects of the mind while not effecting the negative effects them self, you might get some progress in broading your mindfullness thus allowing your self to be with negative effects, but not be effected by them.

blue_barracuda · 2012-12-04T19:43:03+00:00

Good bit of advice. For me, smoking tobacco has a similar effect, just on a more subconscious level. Whether it be cigars/cigarettes/pipe/hookah, it always seems to calm me down and help me worry less. Edit: I would also be interested in the 2000 word post on the benefits of meditation, if you ever have the time.

dking168 · 2012-12-05T02:50:15+00:00

This is identical to Inception. You have your own talisman, you carry around with you and when you have self-doubt, you channel your energy into it. In Inception, it was differentiating the line between reality and fiction, but with this it is to calm your nerves and calm your mind.

Freevoulous · 2012-12-05T11:03:26+00:00

I do the opposite: my tattoo is my lucky talisman. Just lifting my sleeve and looking at it gives me all the good vibes of "you're a sexy badass" sort.

2012-12-04T13:29:49+00:00

So you carry negative energy everytime you go out since the coin is always in your pocket?

ejpusa · 2012-12-04T13:54:06+00:00

Hmmmm, if you live on the ocean, a shell works too. :-)
