If it won’t stress you out, @everhopeful, what kind of meditation were you practicing and how much meditation were you practicing?

Well, it was actually self hypnosis. I bought a book on self hypnosis and recorded the scripts on cassette tape and played them back and went into pretty deep trances.

What kind of meditation do you do?

I found it I eat without the TV on I can taste the food better. Kind of like eating meditation. I also do walking meditation but breathing meditation doesn’t work on me.

That sounds healthy.

After a year or so of doing it started feeling mechanical. Seemed like I was just going through motions. Then came tightness in chest and back. So stopped.

Initially it helped decrease anxiety and nervous excitement. But this didn’t last. Anxiety returned soon. I was doing guided mindfulness meditation.
