Anybody here seriously into meditation? I am an extremely high anxiety person who has been dealing with OCD for many years, so i finally decided to give meditation a serious place in my life to combat and tame the anxiety monster.
For the last decade or so i meditated on and off, not real serious about it. But about a month ago i decided to get serious about meditating. I take at least 20 minutes three times a day and meditate.
For those who do meditate i have a few questions:
What do you focus on when meditating? I have been focusing on just clearing my mind and allowing no internal dialogue in my mind. In the past I have focused on my breathing or saying positive affirmations but i really like clearing my mind and focusing on basically nothing.
Do you ever get anxious while meditating? When i meditate sometimes my heart rate increases and gets very heavy, like my mind is getting anxious because i am slowing it down. My mind goes a million miles an hour and i am wondering if during meditation my mind is "fighting" to not slow down, hence the rapid heavy heartbeat.
Any thoughts??
