- autotune 10y agoVipassana Meditation is the one I initially looked at and believe it's what I'm currently practicing, check out this meddit recommendation thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Meditation/comments/2ixjq7/meddits_book_recommendations/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Meditation/comments/2ixjq7/meddits_... It's really as simple as sitting down in front of an empty wall, closing your eyes (or not), and counting each breath 10 times (I like to count one full breath as "one count" rather than counting an inhale as one and exhale as two), then repeating back to the beginning. Whenever your thoughts go elsewhere you remind yourself to focus on the current number you're on. Really helps clear the mind and can even occasionally experience a state of euphoria in the process.
