How can people with OCD meditate?

In principle, as Sugaku said in the discussion of depression, if the illness has not yet reached the stage where it requires taking medicine, it is the most definitive method to use the method taught by the Buddha, because this method is the root cause of the disease. In the person taking the medicine, if the doctor allows it, this should also gradually achieve the goal of reducing or finally **. When you practice the four minds, when you recite the edge of your home, it is the best way to transfer yourself and temporarily get out of the condition.

After the ability to reminding the conditions becomes stronger and stronger, you can start to practice the path of contemplation and suffering, that is, to allow yourself to observe the situation of the root cause of the disease (how you are led and reincarnated, resulting in the condition not getting better), and to be able to face the root of the disease, and become proficient, you will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past, but follow the normal path (instead of the cycle of sorrow and suffering). So, purely thinking about the condition, the method is very simple, when you leave the condition, just go back to the relationship, there is no rejection and confrontation at all, rejection or confrontation, which is what you call compulsion (letting go of your desires). No matter how many times you leave your fate, you don't need to complain, reject or confront, just return to your fate, and you will complain, repel or confront it if you expect it to be obedient, no matter how it doesn't listen to the command, when you really can"Let it go, leave it alone", and you'll find that it's boring to bother you.

In this way, if you continue to practice Enlightenment, you will have the opportunity to practice the ultimate method of Awakening Meditation and Suffering to Eliminate Suffering, and if you can really practice it, you will be able to apply the path of Enlightenment to all the afflictions of life, and you will gradually become a person who is free of suffering. <>

It's nice to have someone ask about meditation. Vipassana is characterized by observing one's own thoughts, feelings, and emotions with an attitude of staying out of the way. As we exercise, these mental products will have a weaker and weaker effect on us, and we will gradually realize that they follow the principle of impermanence, which is the principle of disappearing after appearing, and the principle of "selflessness", which is not self and cannot be controlled.

For people with psychological problems, the biggest difficulty is that obsessions such as obsessive thoughts are combined with the emotions that have arisen countless times in the past. Therefore, every time they relive this process, they are shocked by the emotions of the past. The emotional power that has been accumulated countless times can be very strong, so strong that it is difficult to think of it as something that is "not me".

Under such shocks, we will think that they will never disappear and that they are part of me. This kind of awareness makes us cling to this mental artifact, trying to control it, weaken it. Each mental operation increases the power of the primordial emotion, making it more and more solid, more and more integrated with us, until it cannot be removed or changed.

In the Vipassana process, we must always maintain an outsider's mentality. The frequency of this workout varies from person to person, starting with a few minutes a day and continuing to do so every second after getting used to it. Note that whatever imagination and thinking arises at the beginning of Vipassana, they are only objects of observation.

Don't presuppose what you want to achieve, it's an imagination; Don't try to get rid of any thoughts, it's an expectation, it's still an imagination, it's still based on the misconception that I can control my mind. We need to see the fact that the mind is uncontrollable, does not belong to us, and follows the natural laws that appear and then disappear.

At the heart of meditation is the present moment.

Whether it is anxiety and depression, the performance has one thing in common, that is, people's attention is not on what is happening in the moment, thinking about things that have nothing to do with the present, and they are soaked in anxiety and depression ......

When meditating, the attention is connected to the world in the present moment, paying attention to the surroundings of the present moment, the feeling of one's body in the present moment, and the breath in the present moment.

I think it's this that prevents the mind from getting mixed up with anxiety and depression, and the mind doesn't mess around with ...... thingsJust like when you walk with your friend, if he is thinking about something, the road he is walking at the moment, what others are saying, he is not listening, you can obviously feel that he is immersed in his own world......When he is focused on what is happening in the moment, he does not think about things......For anxiety and depression, it interrupts the vicious cycle of emotions.

And from a physiological point of view, meditation can create new brain links, which can make the brain produce visible physiological changes, if you continue to meditate for several years, it will permanently change the prefrontal-parietal network, making it work more efficiently, unlike the consequences of depression and anxiety, long-term meditation will strengthen the action of the prefrontal-parietal network and inhibit the action of the amygdala
