A state of no-mind is one devoid of all thoughts: thoughts about the past, the future, the self, concepts, feelings, emotions. Answer what is usually the case, not one-off occurrences (unless that is your only option). If you're unsure if you've entered a no-mind state, answer "never".

Comment your meditation habits below: how often you meditate, how long you've meditated for, how long your meditation sessions are, the ways you like to meditate.

Fun arbitrary rating system I thought about (not important):

Tier 1 meditator: choice 1.
Tier 2 meditator: choices 2, 3, 4.
Tier 3 meditator: choices 5, 6, 7.
Tier 4 meditator: choices 8, 9, 10.

For me it usually take up to 20 min or so if without a meditation habit.

When I have momentum with my meditation practices usually I hit it instantly after 2 or 3 min also I become more aware about my dreams sometimes I have lucid dreams.

My meditation sessions are 15 min up to 45 min per session but I don't to do it daily.

If I meditated I do 2 to 4 sessions a day usually after my spiritual practice Salat.

This varies greatly for me.

It usually happens spontaneously; rarely do I sit down to enter such a state and if I do my mind usually won't go quiet.


“Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return!” - Friedrich Nietzsche
