    Hello,

    Lately i'm having a lot of issues with my mother revolving around her overbearing and clingy attitude towards me. This is having a lot of influence on me. Especially my mind has been going nuts over the past few days, and i can't seem to get some sort of control or relaxation over it. It's starting to give me headaches etc.

    I have  a solid meditation practice going, and i'm doing at least 1 hour of meditation with the "do nothing" technique everyday. I'm thinking of raising this to maybe 2 hours a day, since my life is a little stressfull for me at this point.

    Do you have any advice? I'm trying not to change my thoughts or go against them or anything like that, but it's a total shitstorm atm.

    Such huge traps xD. I've had many of these so called "experiences". It's very imporant to just see them as "experiences" and not "it". These high states don't last, and if your not carefull, the ego will make another goal of this to attain these "high states" over and over again. Be thankful for having experienced it, but definitely don't cling to it and let it go.

    ...The issue is that, as a result of it, I have stopped meditating. In other words, cold showers have replaced by morning meditation practice. I feel I am getting similar benefits but I am not sure if I get the same long-term benefit you'd get by daily training your brain through meditation.

    I don't think cold showers can replace meditation at all.

    Does anybody meditate after taking a cold shower? So far, I don't feel like it. I feel very present after the shower but also I bit too euphoric for meditation...Does anybody have any experience of combining cold showers and meditation practices?

    I always meditate after taking a cold shower. I get in a very relaxed state when i get under a thin bed sheet, which warms me up as i progress in my meditation session.

    Another one which used to scare me a bit is an odd feeling of drowning, stretching, or having an odd shape body or position. It feels like my body is stretching like a body of an alien. When I sit at first, I know where are my hands, where is my legs and so on. But as I go deeper, I feel my body is a very stretched level of what it is, my hands are not bent on my knees, but they are straight down, my waist and neck are really stretched and my head is really higher than it supposed to be. I feel a bit light headed also. I used to get scared of this but I learnt to trust that it is not real and my body is where it was, just exploring the feeling. Slowly it gets back a bit to normal after some minutes. 

    Ahaha yes nothing to worry about. Your brain is just tricking you. Keep meditating. I'm having the same stuff going on. Sometimes when i'm meditating i literally feel like my arms are getting very big and stretched out, bended etc. This is all very normal.

    You need to think bigger. What excites you?

    Also do you feel insecure about becoming a psychologist? Maybe you have a resistance because you feel like you cant do it. You can work on that resistance.

    No, i think if i'm really honest with myself, i just don't feel like i want to study for the degree. It's just not me. I have to force myself to do it. I don't know.

    start doing it already. your long-term plans are obfuscating your short-term actions.

    you're basically living in your mind and not actually doing what it takes to experience new things.

    if you don't manage to come up with practical actions from your introspective moments, you'll end up like a mental zombie that fantasizes a lot but doesn't really live life.

    Yes, you are 100% spot on. I just feel like it's already too late to experiment. I'm 26 and feel like it's time to get serious about my choices in life. My resume holds 3 different past jobs, and recruiters are already questioning on why i made certain choices, giving me weird faces because the jobs differ so much. Everything is build on security and safety all around. I want to experiment, but i feel like there is no room to do so. Everything feels like a long term commitment with no space for failure or change of direction to me.
