- "At the 6-month follow-up, however, both RP and MBRP participants had a significantly reduced risk of relapse to drug use and heavy drinking compared with TAU participants, with RP showing an advantage over MBRP in time to first drug use. Among participants reporting alcohol use, MBRP and RP participants reported significantly fewer days of heavy drinking compared with TAU participants. At the 12-month follow-up, MBRP participants reported significantly fewer drug use days and higher probability of not engaging in heavy drinking compared with RP participants."
"MRI scans show that after an eight-week course of mindfulness practice, the brain’s “fight or flight” center, the amygdala, appears to shrink. This primal region of the brain, associated with fear and emotion, is involved in the initiation of the body’s response to stress."
"As the amygdala shrinks, the pre-frontal cortex – associated with higher order brain functions such as awareness, concentration and decision-making – becomes thicker."
Other interesting qoute: "Other studies on expert meditators – that is, subjects with at least 40,000 hours of mindfulness practice under their belt – discovered that their resting brain looks similar, when scanned, to the way a normal person’s does when he or she is meditating."
3) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) May Prevent And Treat Depression
"Professor Kuyken conducted a study which found that MBCT helped to prevent depression recurrence as effectively as maintenance antidepressant medication did."
"In a 2010 study published in Consciousness and Cognition Journal, researchers assigned 24 people in the intervention group. They received four sessions of mindfulness meditation training. The control had 25 people, and this group listened to an audio book. Results showed that both the mindfulness meditation training group and the control group showed improved mood, but only meditation training reduced fatigue and anxiety and increased mindfulness. Moreover, brief mindfulness training significantly improved visuo-spatial processing, working memory and executive functioning. Researchers concluded, “Our findings suggest that four days of meditation training can enhance the ability to sustain attention; benefits that have previously been reported with long-term meditators.”"

5) Mindfulness Meditation Help The Brain Reduce Distractions
“brain cells use particular frequencies, or waves, to regulate the flow of information in much the same way that radio stations broadcast at specific frequencies. One frequency, the alpha rhythm, is particularly active in the cells that process touch, sight and sound in the brain’s outermost layer, called the cortex, where it helps to suppress irrelevant or distracting sensations and regulate the flow of sensory information between brain regions.” We have our own /SIG/ group.

making discord account is like 2 minutes if not less and we post exercises everyday.
Here is one exercise:
Basic meditation This method is an excellent place to start. It’s what most people mean when they say “Mindfulness meditation.” It will begin to focus your mind, and the principles here carry over to most forms of meditation. It is the basis of Vipassana.
Steps Sit comfortably Take a few slow breaths, then close your eyes and mouth Breathe through your nose as you normally would Notice the sensation air makes against the inner rim of your nostrils as you inhale and exhale Focus on this sensation Each time you start thinking about something else, realize “I am meditating,” and focus on the breath sensation again Repeat

Hey guys, quick story of /SIG/.
At 20 years old i didnt finish school and was smoking weed since i was 13. Didnt have ANY discipline, didnt read a book in the whole seven years.
In my 19 and 20s my weed addiction got so bad i got a psychosis and regularly panic attacks. Some evening i have the feeling that i might die tonight, can't sleep for shit.
The next day i really recognized that my life was shit and i do nothing productive the whole day, really nothing. Slowly adapt new habits ( reading 10p of a self improvement book)
Now its 2 years later. I am studying computer science and physics. Have a good body, nice diet, don't drink or smoke. Read a book every week and taught myself drawing and guitar.
You can do it boys, if you need help i will be another hour on pol, just ask me stuff.

Zen Meditation is really the way to go. I can only speak for west-europe. But there are many Zen-Groups in bigger citys who will meet up a few times per week to meditate together.
I recommend that

Sup Forums please help me, I'm 19 years old and I'm heavily addicted to pornography and I have autogynephilia fetish, and it's killing me! Can meditation help me to get back into my original self and recover from this addiction? Give me some help how to get rid of autogynephilia, or I'll end up being a degenerate

Is aquaculture worth investing in? Fish is really fucking expensive here and there's no place to fish within a reasonable distance. I'm considering putting together a small tilapia operation, but I don't know if it's even worth bothering with.
I had he same problem with degenerate kinks as the year started. I didn't need to meditate to get over it though; I just went nofap over the spring months and my interest in the fetishes died out.
Carter Robinson
No booze, no cigs, 2000 cals of clean protein and fats for 1 months. I've lots shit tons of water weight, and I assume some actual fat and muscle too.... but I feel much fucking better.
Tonight though, I'm chilling with a bottle of wine and a pack of cigs. On the one hand I feel like a bitch because I caved and didn't accomplish my goal, on the other I feel like an autistic fuck for not joining my friends and potential sitting next to a girl.
As an ugly fuck, having a girl actually talk to me is amazing. It's because of what I have been doing the past month. I know it is. This is my reward; cigs and a drink.

If this fear is the kind that you can't overcome, impacts your daily routine, and leaves you legitimately shaken in the event that you don't masturbate regularly, it may very well be the result of some form of OCD, in which case you should try looking for a support group.

I would recommend jogging daily too for anyone here who doesn't work out. the cardiovascular benefit is immense, it lowers tour resting heart rate, it's simple and can be done almost any day, and it is free from distraction like meditation

I had never heard of a decent dumbbell routine, but I searched on /fit/ and found this with quite a few people saying it's not bad. one person did recommend doing stiff legged dumbbell deadlifts, and those may be easier to do than the one legged deads in the picture
and I'll go ahead and recommend couch to 5k. there are hundreds of phone applications that will tell you when you should jog and when you should walk, so it's super easy to follow. I've always been a sprinter who has a difficult time with running a full mile without getting winded, and with couch to 5k I got up to 2 miles straight jogging while feeling fine also if you're a masochist who likes to sprint more than jog, then do high intensity interval training (hiit). it's honestly similar to c25k but instead of jogging you sprint for a period, then jog/walk for a period, then repeat.

>disshit >not irc kys with your discord newfag
its a shit infographic, the whole point of meditation and mindfulness is to recognize ones thoughts, if you meditate and your mind starts wondering, recognize (maybe even from third person perspective) your wandering thoughts as a separate entity, this the whole point, once you get better at this, you start doing it during daily life, when you get angry/happy/sad/deprrssed you 'catch' yourself and ask yourself why are you feeling these feelings and thoughts, and try to control them in different ways. This is what gives you the edge in pretty much every situation. Dont fall for a spirituality, concentrating on breath, all kinds of indian shit etc crap. Meditation is nothing special though it can and is useful. Just dont make it your lifes goal like some ratards do because you eill just waste time

Strength is morality. Weakness is sin. Weakness requires punishment. If you’re weak, if you’re obese, if you’re a drug addict, become less so. Become stronger. Move towards the sun. Become more coherent. Become more articulate. Cast more of a shadow. It’s almost a type of positive behaviourism in some ways – but it’s not somebody wagging their finger and so on, because you’re doing it for yourself. It comes from inside. - Jonathan Bowden

Friendly reminder being a farmer is not the life you want. Rural folk are alpha as fuck, but fuck me I'm too tired to go hit my heavybag or read my philosophy books that i bought on Amazon for 99 cents (you can get all of Plato's work!).
If your goal is to expand your knowledge, I repeat, do not voluntarily become a farmer for the rest of your life. The "redneck" meme is real. They do talk funny, and they aren't very smart outside of blue collar work.
Btw fuck sneakers, wear boots, SJW's fear the boot. Infinitely more helpful.
Zachary Peterson
I don't take OP's pic to mean go full farmer. It's obviously saying to go rural, but it looks like he's just got a garden and not a full farm to deal with.
I tried to improve it a bit, if any user wants to make a fixed up version in photoshop that would be good

15-30 minutes if I do it right to get the feeling for the whole day. If you want to get a cheaper feeling of clear-headedness, consider taking a cold shower, though that will generally only last for about 4 hours before you feel "normal" again.

It's unusual and priests will be wary of you. You do see the type of people there who are true believers and it comes across in how a person is. Sort of Ned Flanders crossed with the liquid Terminator. Better than being a neckbeard or a normie though.
