it’s ok, @LoveLightLuCky sis, most ppl fail also. most gave up quickly, some hung on but basically sit down, close eyes n pretend they meditating, as I told Ec7171 bro, lol.

wow! decades, I salute your determination n persistence 👍

maybe u doing it wrong n no one to teach n guide u properly. since i a bit good mood n in recognition of your laudable persistent efforts, i wot a bit 😂

without knowing full circumstances n your background history, mental state, character, etc., best I can advise is start all over again from scratch.

start from learning n practicing progressive muscle relaxation techniques. i donno how to paste link in here but u can easily google up. once u adept at progressive muscle relaxation technique n it becomes like 2nd nature n u can easily transit into that relaxed mode; then start trying meditation again with the aforementioned exercise as prelude in each session. or u can try out both concurrently. experiment to find your comfort way n zone. there is no hard n fast, that’s why can’t really learn serious meditation from books or vids. only an experienced meditator or teacher irl can teach, point the way n provide tailored advice, guidance n instruction to suit the individual. Even the historical Buddha himself learnt from teachers, no csb, lol

tho some schools/ classes here do talk about n incorporate muscle relaxation technique in their classes, it’s usually glossed over n not emphasized much as their aim is mostly on teaching juz Buddhist meditation basics without the in depth tech know-how n maybe due to time factor n course duration.

if u do try it out, let me know how it goes.
Bro the progressive muscle relaxation is like that as per video?

kk now awake hahaha

i’m quite familiar w muscle relaxation but i always fall aslp lol how to don’t fall aslp? 😅

the funny thing is that i will still go into anxiety even if i slp

good thing, over the years the threshold higher n higher..

i persisted becos i have my goals
to attain them i can’t bypass this stage
but not really persist rah also like hanging n try every now n then hahaa

i feel my life v weird.. so it’s either i go all out..
or i give up
U have to try and concentrate or focus on each muscle group or body part(s) one by one in sequence as u go about “mentally” relax each in turn. cannot rush, step by step slowly relax one by one part in turn from bottom(feet, toes) to top of your head.

the aim of the exercise is to relax the body part by part, not fall asleep relaxing, lol

if u fall asleep while doing the progressive muscle relaxation means u already very tired, wrong timing to do this, change to another time to try again. I’m asking u to do this to aid in getting u started properly on meditation, not in the usual purpose of this muscle relaxation technique to help u relax and sleep. so don’t be mistaken. can say we are juz borrowing this technique for a different purpose.

sis, sorry I have to be blunt. have to get this part right n going, otherwise meditate another 50 yrs the way u doing now also won’t see progress or results. unless do the extreme route like giving up everything n go into the mountains to practice 😰

K, I skipped thru quickly, something like dat but mine is start from toes then work upwards. is reverse order from the vid. so not exactly same technique

also for some learners, I recommend combining with visualization if they can manage. meaning u visualize or imagine in your mind the tension flowing out from the parts of your body as u go along relaxing each part. can visualize as black smoke, dirty water, slime, whatever u think represents the tension, tiredness, negative vibes. u roughly get the idea? got time I write wot properly if anyone interested, lol
