Make our brains FOSS! Why can’t I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!

    Meditation is one way of getting control of your brain.

    I suspect that most people who have a meditation practice would disagree with this assertion.

      Meditation only helps me be more aware of what the brain is doing / making me do. I can’t control it and I’d argue that neither can anyone else. Free will in the common sense is an illusion.

        I‘m refering the title with „control“ However, bringing thoughts & feelings into the direction you like to, compared to be just overwhelmed, is a sort of control.
