Meditation to slow down one's experience of time and reduce hunger? How to do it?

#1

slowing down your experience of time via increased mindfulness is the best longevity technology we have by a large margin. at least 2-5x possible

There’s Jhourney. There’s reading @nickcammarata twitter.
the FIRST thing to do is to supplement all brain deficiencies (get an ION panel, see your L-tyrosine and HVA levels). Get selegiline. Get plasmalogens. Maybe try ISRIB A15. Get apigenin/dried parsley to block NAD-deactivating enzymes. You can’t meditate unless your brain is healthy and plastic enough to do it. ADHD people might find it exponentially more difficult

Then there are those who have tried - Shinzen Young [wants to find a category-theoretic formulation of meditation/brain changes/IChing], Jay Sangiamuetti, Rob Burbea, Jhourney [which Kathern Devaney used to be on but left b/c she wanted something that more maximized her neuroscience PhD skills]. Not everyone is going to provide the best instructions for meditation (tbh Nick Cammarata’s tweets are probably best, esp b/c they’re easiest to remember)

You could try Heart Rate Variability training through a feedback tool like HeartMath.
Discussion elsewhere on the forum.

You can just meditate without any supplements or medications or technologies, and you should. The other things help I am sure.

Do it daily, even if just 5 minutes. The point is to focus on your breath, and if you notice yourself getting lost in thoughts then go back to your breath. That’s a very easy method of meditation. There are also free and paid phone apps that have guided meditations, a free one I use is Insight Timer.

What I was doing for a while was taking a high dose of melatonin and then meditating in darkness. I just meditate without melatonin because the high dose interrupted my sleep a bit. But I found it was very relaxing.

like @AustraliaLongevity said … or count your exhalations slowly from one to ten over and over focusing on each number and letting everything else go. When (not if) you loose track, start at one again. Two good methods.
