I'm afraid my hindrances in meditation are due to being high, should I try to not smoke a few hours before meditation to clear my mind up? I heard having impurities in the body can disturb your ability to connect with your inner entity.. is this true?
For me, weed makes my meditations very vivid and it helps me focus.
But actually, my most intense meditation experiences and beautiful connections with myself have been without the outside influences of substances. Buddha discourages mind-altering substances, but i think if you're serious about meditation, staying off the bud a while before meditating would probably be a good idea.
Good luck!

The discovery of Cannabinoids and Melatonin proves you can get in touch with every part of your inner-self, through Herb. Just think of you're high as a your friend, not a hinderance. It gives you the third-person perspective that allows you to relate to yourself.
weed or no weed; i can still meditate.
how long have you been meditating? If you've just started, I was advise taking it slow. Trying meditating for 10 mins. twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. Then, when you feel like you have some focus bump up the time!!
Maybe you need trying focus on a thought or repeat a word over and over to gain focus!! :thumbsup: :rasta:
I don't know if I helped, but I am here to answers any questions!! :D
Weed isn't really productive to meditation, though it may give you the illusion that it is. all in all, it can (potentially) help you focus and relax, but you'll never gain a state of clarity and deep meditation that can be accomplished without.
how do you come to this conclusion?Quote:

I figured you couldn't really get deep into a medatative state stoned... anyway salvia's not really for me (tried it once recreationaly, had a bad out of body trip). I think I'll just have to cut down my smoking to the weekends to keep a clear mind during the week. See, it's not getting into the medatative state or picking an affirmation or even feeling the affirmation that's troubling me. It just seems I can only concentrate fully on affirmations that are short (i.e.: "peace") but when I try to complicate it I have a hard time feeling the words as a group. Instead I find myself reading the words in short bursts as to understand a little at a time. I'll stay sober for a day or two, then post any changes in the quality of my meditation.. Thanks for all the suggestions!!
Peace

meditation is good without bud... it gives me a natural high.
but with cannabis, i can meditate much better. it gives me enough focus and clarity, and it opens me up so much. I've had several out of body experiences while meditating stond. but not while sober
True, you don't need to smoke to meditate. You get such a natural high when your done. It's like. Ahhhhhhhh........... :thumbsup:Quote:
