Meditation.

I've been an on-and-off meditator for several years, and within the past three months I've hit daily consistency.

I've been meaning to do a proper post on meditation, but for now I'll respond to your prompt.

The value of meditation to become aware of your own unconscious mental/behavioral/emotional patterns, so that you can have more choice over your own actions in the moment.

Say every time you think about approaching a chick, you clam up. This is a mental/emotional pattern that you've probably been running for awhile.

Without meditation, it's just your reality. "Approaching women is scary and I don't want to do it."

With sufficient meditation, you can spot the pattern happening in the moment. "I'd like to approach that woman. WOW, the fear feeling just popped up. I feel like I'm really not good enough and that everyone will laugh at me. That's an irrational feeling. Instead, I'm going to remind myself how awesome I am, suck it up, and approach the girl."

The difference is, awareness of your ingrained patterns gives you more opportunity to rewrite who you are into something better.

That, in my opinion, is the main benefit I've received from meditation. For me, meditation has been the catalyst that enabled a number of other powerful changes.

This video [tyler RSD] got me started in meditation - focuses on the practical aspects and a simple 'how to'. Only need to watch the first 15-20 minutes, but the whole thing is good.

I meditate daily. Nothing is more effective at helping you to understand, become conscious of, and ultimately maintain, a strong "alpha frame". The reason this works so well is because meditation helps you resolve the emotional baggage that is holding you back, making you needy and weak, as well as helping you become aware of the various internal and external dynamics in action during any given social situation.

I really can't recommend it highly enough, but it's not for everybody. You need to be willing to engage with some seriously deep and disturbing stuff that's rattling around inside your mind and most are not interested in doing this.

Meditation is one way to recognize that ultimately, at some level, you are inherently alright and enough. At some level, you dont NEED anything, and you dont have to fear anything. And it isn't something you have to convince yourself of or choose to believe--you can just look and face reality and see how it is.

And then a lot of the "Beta" behaviors, thoughts, feelings, etc. seem so unnecessary and absurd. Like a silly waste of energy.

And this profound okayness provides a soung basis for self improvement. There's way more energy and space to act when, deep down, you know that it's ultimately perfect. It also makes it easier to let go of past "wrongs" and move forward and not get hung up on your identity. And it makes it easier to recognize that you dont need any particular relationship to be alright. It takes a level of gutsiness to face the layers of bullshit society is trying to collectively avoid.

I recommend it.

The buddha was redpill as hell.

Whether you think it's literal or ideal, not the story is:

-He did what it took to take care of himself; he invested in his happiness, above all else

-Once he achieved his goal, he shared freely with others

-He didn't sacrifice his wellbeing or himself at all

-He didn't need anything from anyone.

-He didn't fear anything.

-He was happy in himself.

-He was constantly on the move, active, traveling around, interacting with people.

-And he was a leader of others.

-He told people to improve themselves (ie. do what's beneficial for your happiness, undo the stuff that causes suffering)

Who cares if this is literally true, it is a great ideal for guys who want to do better for themselves.

I meditate a lot. One way it helps me is I like to build specific bridges to help maintain frame in a situation.

So, I like to trigger my sense of sexuality and then sit in it. This helps me better enjoy the feeling and helps with stimulating sexual tension with a girl.

To do this I'll go to a local cafe where the girls all have huge tits and low cut shirts. And I'll just get horny. Then I'll just sit in it. And I won't let it be all anxiety. I'll meditate on the feeling and let myself be more and more "ok" with it.

And I've seen lots of good results.

But I do shitloads of meditating. I think it's a great way to control your emotions, better understand yourself, heal yourself, rewire the way your brain works and reframe your beliefs.

Meditation is a way to improve self awareness. Once you learn self awareness it is easier to change yourself. TRP is all about changing yourself unless you're doing things right naturally in which case you wouldn't even be here.

So meditation is good. BTW you aren't going to control your mind the way you're thinking. You'll figure it out if you keep trying though. It's more of simply recognizing things are happening and being able to stop a thought train before it picks up steam. Think about people who can't stop talking and enjoy a moment because they become uncomfortably self aware.
