I just tried mindful meditation for the very first time. Is this what normal is supposed to feel like? Is this what life, without racing thoughts and anxiety is supposed to feel like? This is nuts. Took me a bit to find a recording I liked. No religious undertones; except he says spirit or some crap, one time, but I'll let that slide since it was in the beginning and didn't happen again. That was incredible. I'm no longer feeling anxious, or overthinking. Wow.

Yep good stuff. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel the same sudden jolt of euphoria every time though, seems like that happens to a lot of people the first time and then it’s a slower process of training to get back to the same feeling. But it’s a practice, not magic. Def helps tremendously if ya stick with it though.

welcome! Once you find yourself adept at focusing then practice guided thought. Thats where you follow the same practice and then when you're clear follow the first thought in your mind down the rabbit hole. Then just keep taking it further and further. This is how I first reached enlightenment. We wear little ruts in our brains with the same thought patterns all the time and everything seems tainted in that direction ... that is until you take psychoactive drugs or use guided meditation. Doing this allows you to often approach the issue or thought from a different angle - often one you'd never have thought of in normal "mode".
