why am in this picture?
If that’s you in this picture, then you’re very pretty :3
I thought with mediation you should ignore that voice and focus on being in the present.
Depends on the form of meditation. For general, workplace-endorsed “mindfulness” meditation, you allow yourself to think whatever you think, but instead of reacting to it, you merely observe and acknowledge that you’re having that thought. You don’t let yourself get carried along with it though. You let it pass and let another thought come along, observing your own mind. Other types of meditation are about striving to think nothing, and it’s expected that you’ll fail, and take years to accomplish that after a great deal of practice.

That sounds pretty dismissive. It’s very sad that capitalism co-opts these things to squeeze out even more energy from workers, and that people think this is just something PR or HR or whatever came up with.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and similar techniques (e.g. autogenic training) are effective and empirically proven methods to combat depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, etc.
Every mediation final goal is to achieve tranquility of mind which is only possible if mind is in present and when you quietly listen to inner voice without reacting, it slowly start fading away and meditator goes in one of the jhanas state

This is probably in reference to where the quote “uuuooooohhh seeeggss” came from: a Japanese man cycling down the road in
the middle of the nighta tunnel shouting that, and other hilarious nonsense.Edit: found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce4IzbEQyNo
Yeah no thanks. The voice in my head is an asshole.
He killed the anime, that fact alone makes him a fucking dick
the voice in my head is normally completely incomprehensible
not silent more like gibberish
