Alright.

Step One of How to Speedrun Meditation. How to Fuckin’ Relax Faster Than Should Be Humanly Possible.

Just end task on explorer.exe of the brain.

We don’t like to sit still, sit in silence with ourselves, sit amongst our thoughts, people in general but especially the HotBrains.

But that’s where the Power is. Don’t you see?

Control yourself, control your reality. Mind over matter.

So you’ve tried meditating before and it didn’t “Work.”

Meditation is a skill, a spiritual muscle you train. Eventually you’ll be able to put a full stop to all thought at will, and just shrug tension out of your body like a dog shaking off water.

There will be distractions, let them go, let it all go, all thought, all worry. You can’t force your brain to stop thinking, Yet, But you can choose not to engage with the thoughts flowing through your mind.

Ignore everything. That’s not your problem right now.

Get comfortable.

Comfort is paramount, because believe me, when you get into this feeling, you will not want to leave it for a while.

Close your eyes.

And don’t Try.

Don’t worry about counting heartbeats or how long your inhales and exhales are, no, those are just introducing more distractions.

Just be.

Remember to stay Awake, Aware. This is a state of deep relaxation, you might fall asleep a few times in the beginning, that’s fine.

What is the point? To build your mind space, where you manifest reality. So you gently focus on your third eye, the spot between your brows. It will resonate with your intent when you focus on it, you will feel a pressure in your forehead. Don’t force it, just hold your awareness there.

Now to actually relax? Just be conscious of your breathing, and the tension in your body, release it. Do a mental rundown, top to bottom, and relax every part of your body, keep breathing, full breaths but don’t force it, feel the air flowing in through your nose and filling your lungs.

Stay in that space in your mind, in your forehead, relax into each breath, and let yourself slowly expand.

You might feel like your eyes want to open, that’s fine, let them, but keep your gaze unfocused, and gently let your eyelids close again.

Work with your body, not against it.

Do you know the color Octarine?

Terry Pratchett named it, the color of Magic, a greenish purple, the color you see behind your eyes when you’re not looking for anything.

Well, that’s what you’re looking for now.

Just chill, relax, stay in your forehead and in your slow breaths, after a while you should feel like it’s okay to pause before inhaling after each exhale, to be empty, lean into that feeling, and do you see those colors now? Just a hint of green and purple, like swirling fog in your mind, just watch it for a while with your eyes closed, watch the patterns that form.

Your awareness will feel like it is flowing, let it, gently reign it in, remember not to force anything.

At first, your mind space will be flat, if anything. You’re just seeing your eyelids. But be patient, soon enough you’ll be breathing so slowly and deeply you won’t even be aware of it anymore, and that is when things Shift…

If you maintain focus on the third eye while dropping into the abyss, you expand, you feel your mind open up into a new space, and this,

This is where you do Magic.

Now focus on this feeling right now, how your body and mind feel in this state.

Now that you know how it feels, you can reach for it every time you take a deep breath. And if you keep up with this regularly, soon enough a few deep breaths is all it will take to keep you steady through anything.
