Message to the reddit meditation mods
I've been banned before for posting too many links to my free website at agi21st.org. I was receiving positive responses to the practice described there, and just as I do now, I always tried to respond to people who have issues like OCD, ADHD and things like that.
After the experience of being banned I knew I had to create a reddit-rules friendly post, which I've done. In a way, the basic how-to description on the reddit post is more concise and efficient.
This is an example of the type of response I get :
"Yeah I've been playing with different techniques for a while now. Been going through some really bad withdrawal symptoms and this technique cuts through my anxiety like a knife. Thank you so much"
I really don't want to be banned again. The possible problem I see is that because my reddit-friendly post is, as I said, concise and efficient so with minor OP-specific changes, I use it continually and to positive effect. I very occasionally provide the link to my website.
This is the post I'm concerned about, please don't ban it:
"Ok, start with five minutes of this practice.
If it works for you it's easy, mentally refreshing and physically invigorating. You'll know if it works for you almost immediately.
I use the first mantra.
Because it represents and replicates the sounds of an exhale and an inhale, it becomes the meditator's "thoughts" and is eventually replaced by the sound, feeling and sensation of exhaling and inhaling, leaving one thoughtless.
I like to think of the process as the Thought-Devouring Oxygenator.
The mantra isn't "om" as was popularized in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, the better translation of the Sanskrit is "au-m".
au- creates a natural exhale in humans.
Say "paul" in a whisper that only you can hear, for as long as you can and longer.
Say "haul" in a whisper that only you can hear, for as long as you can and longer.
-m is what you hear and feel as your au- emptied lungs refill completely for the first time ever.
Take a deep breath? No, make a deep breath with your mouth closed, gently using your solar plexus and the sound and thought of au- to make room for the inundating -m.
Love the gentle au-, it's your anchor. Make it, hear it, feel it, think it and one day soon it will disappear. Until then, thanks to au-m, benefit from the deepest, non-hyperventilatory breathing possible.
To make the process meditative, always begin your au- exhalation just before your -m inhalation is complete. Beginning your exhale just before your inhale is complete will make the gentle process circular and meditative.
au-m, the mantra of our most essential act.
[Start] with 10 or [15] minutes. [Or 5, for a start that'll work too]
ps. it's ridiculously invigorating and with a simple adjustment it can be applied in non-meditative and active situations."
It's working, and it's helping some seekers who need meditation much more than most.
You can find me on reddit meditation at user/blackplotinus, and I'm me with fries and a frosty beverage at the subreddit r/Henosis.
