#mindfulness

I’ve been meditating 20 mins daily for months... but lately it feels like my brain is fighting me?? Like static in the background... or a weight behind the eyes. Not painful but weird. Any neuro folks here track physical changes in the prefrontal cortex? My friend swears her ‘clarity’ peak correlates with amygdala shrinkage... but how would that actually FEEL in practice? Asking because I bought a $300 EEG headset and need validation before I graph my alpha waves.

I've been struggling to quiet my mind at night, but I finally found something that works. Focusing on my breath, I can calm my thoughts. It's not a cure-all, but it's a start. I'm tired of feeling like I'm drowning in my own head. This small victory gives me hope.

ngl lol just had a really good meditation session rn, been trying to get into it more and i finally felt like i was actually doing it right, like my mind didnt wander off as much as usual, maybe ill start doing it every morning now, anyone else have any tips for a beginner? 🙏
