my englsh is bad, I try to work on it more.
I hear people talk about using dopamine chemical in brain to make meditation more rewarding. We live in world where we have so many things available to us that provide more dopamine than what meditation typically provides. Materialism and drug use and pornography and consistent sensory stimulation overloads the mind, to the point that these rewarding chemicals no longer feel very rewarding when mediating. I know meditation is important, but I feel nothing at all. Even when I do deepest trance I can, the feelings aren't rewarding and the hole thing is very very boring. I know meditation works, but it doesn't seem to work that well. Even when I meditate for long time and good things happen, take a break and then try it again I can't motivate myself well to bother. It feels like I have to force myself to do it, so I can only do it for as long as I can force myself to. I can't make myself want to do it. I hope people understand.
Can we control our dopamine to reward healthy things and healthy habits, and weaken it's release for things that aren't healthy and aren't rewarding? I am pure earth (6e 2f 1w 1a), so I good when habits are formed but difficult to form them. My earth only seems to be curse, as breaking bad habits is hard for me. I try breath air element and got fucked up really bad with just 4 breath. I go crazy and emotional over nothing. I can breath fire ok but not enough to motivate me for anything.
Any idea?
