You're welcome 😁. Hope it helps you deepen your practice

@@Vipassanawithkhalid thank U. my first 10 day course starts on 4.11. in Germany. I am a beginner.. 🙃

In the meantime, you can practice this meditation. m.ua-cam.com/video/Oh5ii6R6LTM/v-deo.html&pp=ygUHQW5hcGFuYQ%3D%3D It's what you will be doing for the first 3 and a half days at the 10 day! It will really help you and get you set up for success

@@Vipassanawithkhalid thanks for your help. 🙏🏻I practice Anapana for about 6 weeks now. Really special experience every day.

So good to hear that honestly. Meditating is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself and for everyone you interact with!

I mean the technique itself is a body scan so it won't be much different. Went give to a 10 day is so important is so that you can sharpen your mind so much that you can start to feel very subtle sensations in your body. This is when body scanning becomes a lot more engaging and fun. Being able to feel dozens of sensations on a small area of the body, like a couple of inches, is only possible after intensive training. That's why I don't have any guided body scan meditations on here. Because most people won't find them beneficial and won't even know what I'm talking about. So yeah, you have to go to the retreat to get started on this mediation technique. Otherwise I suggest you just do breath meditation. That's more beneficial for a beginners mind. Here's a link: m.ua-cam.com/video/Oh5ii6R6LTM/v-deo.html&pp=ygUOZ29lbmthIGFuYXBhbmE%3D This is the teacher that teaches the 10 day courses. I would recommend focusing on this breath meditation until you can make it to a 10 day course Best of luck to you!

@@Vipassanawithkhalid Thank you so much!

You're absolutely welcome.

I try my best to do my 2 hours a day. And then throughout the day as well. For my 10 minute breaks at work, and half my lunch I'll try to meditate. I also try to prescribe sampajanna throughout the day, no matter what I'm doing. So I try to meditate as much as I can. I am currently working on replacing doom scrolling with meditation. For an hour or two a day I'll be watching shows, or scrolling Instagram, or watching UA-cam videos. I want to replace most of that with more meditation. I find the more I invest, the more I get out of the practice. I don't want to be a monk or anything, but every free moment I want to be meditating. Either sampajanna while doing things, or closed eyes serious meditation when it works.

⁠@@Vipassanawithkhalid I have some solutions that may be helpful in supporting that intention. If anything doesn’t help or apply to you, then please ignore! 🙏🏼 If you use iPhone & Mac it can help to set a screen time limit on both for a certain number of minutes for these apps, like 15min/day. And then--and this part is crucial-setup a passcode to secure screen time settings and only allow a trusted friend or family member to have that screen time passcode, NOT you. This way you put a strong boundary in that prevents you from indulging in more than 15min/day consuming this addictive content. The inner addict is like Sméagol/golum from Lord of the Rings. It can be trusted to choose the right thing on its own. Needs tough love in supporting it in abstaining from addictions and choosing healthier alternatives. Letting someone else have the passcode is so liberating, if you can have the humility to take this route. However if you don’t have iPhone & Mac, you’ll have to find a different way to do this. I use a slightly different method. My mindset is that I literally NEVER need to access Instagram or Facebook or anything from my phone. If I do I can access on my computer where it is easier to control access to them. So I bought this plastic cube called a Brick lets you block designated apps after scanning the block. And I block social media apps on my iPhone. And put the brick in a hard to get place in my house, like the basement in a box somewhere. And then I agree with myself to use only the computer for these websites. So now the battle is focused in one area and the rest of the time I’m out and about I’m free. Indulging in social media all throughout the day in gaps of time is disastrous in addicting the mind. On my computer I use a free chrome extension called “Stayfocusd” which lets me allot certain amount of times for certain websites, like 15/min a day, and then blocks them. It works really well. To unblock you have to type out a long predetermined message without mistakes. And you can set this message. So you can make your future self type in like “I am committed to being free from addictions. I know that craving can overwhelm the mind and convince me that I want what it wants. But I won’t give in..” etc. so that way you really reinforce a healthier mindset in those moments of craving, and give yourself support to wake up and say no. It works. I also use a chrome extension called “Unhook” which lets me toggle off the addictive features of UA-cam (there’s another one called Clean UA-cam that does the same it looks like). With one click at a time you can choose things to turn off like the comment section, suggested videos, home feed. This has helped a TON. Seriously. Such a relief to be free from those and I can turn them back on whenever needed. I recently found another chrome extension called “News Feed Eradicator” that lets you block the feed portion of which social site you designate, like Reddit, instagram, Facebook etc. it puts an inspiring quote in place of the feed. This removed the most addicting part of the apps while letting you have the other features. I like this idea because you can just write down a handful of pages you like to stay updated on and go straight to those instagram or Facebook pages without getting sucked into the quicksand of the “Infinity Pools” that hooks you and addicts you the most. Having said all this, I think app solutions should still be considered a backup defense and not the main line of defense. I think doing mindfulness the moment you feel a craving to distract, and finding healthier ways to meet that need, is the main way to heal addictions. Also using negative visualizations to show your brain the harm of that choice, right as you get the craving, and then a positive visualization of a healthier choice, to help retrain brain to choose a healthier choice. This is so powerful when done right and helped me recover from really harmful habits. Lastly, it can help to reframe and realize that we probably shouldn’t have ANY time on these apps. They used to have cocaine in coke soda. Would you drink that if they reintroduced it? In the future they will look at these social media apps with algorithmically designed Infinite Feeds as addictive substances/drugs. Because they are. They hijack the reward circuitry and easily keep you hooked, draining your life and time, making everything else less enjoyable, planting & watering seeds of craving & aversion, and making you choose them over and over again even when you want to say no. This technology needs to be regulated and probably banned honestly, just like we banned putting cocaine in soda. We need new non-addictive forms of social media, that have friction in them to slow down consumption and limit overall consumption. And lead towards wholesome experiences and connections, not just addictive consumption. There’s a UA-cam video called “You Will Wish You Watched This Before You Started Using Social Media” by the channel Absolute Motivation that summarizes this incredibly well. 10 minutes. Excellent video and music that really emphasizes the solemnity of this epidemic. I’m sure you know most of this and have probably seen documentaries on it (like “The Social Dilemma”) but this was a great 10 min look at it. Hope this helps 🙏🏼

I’ve got an Android phone, and it pretty much does everything you mentioned! Plus, I’ve been using this digital detox app that really helps me keep my screen time in check. I haven’t cluttered my web browser with too many distractions because I usually use it for work. I do watch some shows on there, though, so I might need to figure out how to balance that better! I totally agree that while apps can be super helpful, the main focus should really be on tackling the addiction itself. Meditation has been a lifesaver for me! It helps me realize just how draining social media can be, even though I still find myself scrolling mindlessly sometimes. I’ve made some good progress, and I feel like I’m so close to finally giving it up for good. It’s definitely a journey, but I’m all in! Finding that balance with technology and incorporating mindfulness has really been key for me. Here’s to hoping I can keep it up!

@@Vipassanawithkhalid That’s awesome! I’m sure you are bound to be successful! As long as you keep working at it paaaaaatiently and persistentlyyyy 😁 I’ve found the social media hard to cut out completely because one slip into the infinity pool and you can fill the mind with a dump truck full of craving & aversion that takes you 10 steps back. Need safeguards/guardrails to prevent the slip from being so large. I wish you the best in your journey!

@@adamj2683 Wishing you the best in the journey as well. It is very sneaky the way it happens. Sometimes i whip out my phone faster than I can even think. Like when i am eating alone, i whip my phone out so fast. or when in the bathroom. But I am becoming more and more aware of it and coming out of it. Hoping you can come out of it for good as well!

The benefits of meditation, like a lot of things, depends on how much effort you put in. Like for example, if you worked out for 10 minutes a day everyday, you'll get certain benefits, not a lot maybe not even noticeable but some. If you worked out for 1 to 2 hours a day everyday though, than you can more easily notice your progress across time. It's the same with meditation. If you just do it 10 minutes a day, the progress will be really slow and hard to notice and you might even wonder if there are any benefits. If you did it 1 to 2 hours a day, you'll notice the benefits across time more easily. Meditation does in fact help you be more patient, there is no question about that. If you're not noticing that benefit it's because you are not meditating enough or not meditating properly. I'm not telling you this to discourage you and tell you you're not working hard enough. But the reality is to get the most out of something, you have to invest a lot of time and energy into it. That's just the reality of how things are.

I appreciate the support! I will keep uploading. Knowing I'm making an impact encourages me to keep going as well. So thank you for your words 🙏

Thats awesome! Was this at Dhamma Passava? My go to is Dhamma Kunja since its only a couple of hours away. How funny would it be if we ran into each at the center? hahaha, looking forward to things aligning that way

@@Vipassanawithkhalid I usually live in Seattle but since covid I’ve been spending more time in the south with my mom (my stuff lives in shoreline lol) so I sat and recently served in Kaufman Tx. My next application is for a 2 day in New Ulm - I haven’t been yet! I’ll definitely go to Kunja at some point, and because of you, I’ll now be preparing to apply for a 14 day gratitude course once I meet all the requirements and an assistant teacher recommends me!

@@MalissiaCreates I live in Seattle :) what a small world. What an incredible experience. Thats so amazing that you are feeling called to go to the 14 day course. The requirements are 3 10 day sits, a satipathana course, and served a 10 day, and have been trying to practice since your last 10 day. Are you pretty near these requirements? I am so glad to hear these videos are inspiring you to return to your practice and go deeper. only you can walk the path for yourself and get the real fruits of your efforts. May your efforts bring you millions of fruits in return :)

Thank you thank you!

Absolutely! It was such a game changing experience for me. And I am more than happy to share my insights with the hope that it inspires others to mediate too! There is a center that does a 10 day sit in South Sudan (if that is where you are, since your videos are about Sudanese Arabic). But I think it only does it once a year or something. www.dhamma.org/en/schedules/noncenter/ss Keep an eye out and go if you can make it!

Thank you thank you! Hoping you are able to build a regular routine into your schedule!

You're welcome

I agree. Life is so much easier to live when you meditate 1 hour in the morning and evening. Thats why i do it everyday now!

Watch this vide to help you with this! ua-cam.com/video/sIRl-S_FICI/v-deo.html

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for recognizing this. I find meditation to be one of the most important things to do, so i do it. I know you know how beneficial it is too. The only questions is, do you prioritize it into your day.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the sub!

Best of luck!

You know I have not. I'm not sure how making short form content would work, but I'll consider it for sure.

Hahaha back in the day

Hey there. The body scanning of sensations is best learned at the 10 day Vipassana course. It would be a disservice to try to teach it. I do talk more about it and it's impacts on other videos as well though.

Thank you so much. It's been an invaluable practice to have learned. And I notice too that people grasp the teaching in different ways and at different paces. It's my goal to share what I have learned and experienced with others! Thank you so much for your comment. It inspires me to keep going.

Agreed! It keeps me supported and encouraged while i return home to life distractions.

Thank you so much for watching. I upload them hoping it helps inspire old students to continue and new students to start 😍

Hahaha I love this. It kind of sounds like a joke, but for me it's all truth 🤣.

@@Vipassanawithkhalid truth for me as well. My bff passed a year ago followed quickly by my other best friend then my partner died on Easter after surviving surgery, all in less than a year. I knew I couldn’t handle the grief alone… I went back to a center for another 10 day sit. It’s what I tell myself daily when I lose hope on what to do next. Confused about life? Vipassana 🥹🙏🏼

I am so sorry to hear about the series of unfortunate events that took place so close together. It must've been so tough, and probably still is. Even though death is certain for all of us at and point in time, it is still such a shock when it happens. I hope your practice gives you some peace through the dark storms. And I also hope their memories give you strength whenever you remember them.

@@Vipassanawithkhalid thank you ☺️ Vipassana is Life changing; not only because you accept death as a fact for all but the peace that surpasses all understanding in the midst of great unbearable pain… anicca anicca …a strong practice to sit in sensation to allow the arising and passing away. 🙏🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

That's awesome. I talked about coming to terms with death in a couple of videos. It's been amazing getting able to even ponder it and not be scared shitless. Or be uncontestable with it at least. I can look at death in a more balanced way thanks to Vipassana. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving.

If you would like to go learn Vipassana, you need to go to a free 10 day silent meditation course.. Go to dhamma.org and find the nearest center. It's not something you can learn from a UA-cam video.

@@Vipassanawithkhalid unfortunately, in Pakistan there is no Vipassana meditation centers,,,

Thanks for keeping up with me. I will try to upload more regularly 😊

Thank you so much Bill. Welcome to taking control of your well-being 😊

This journey is definitely Worth it. The benefits are there. The community is there. The intention is there. And you'll make it one day to be a consistent meditator.

I relate to everything you just said. Sometimes you only notice the benefits when they are not there. You notice how rooted and calm you are when you stop meditating and have so much more anxiety. It's that old thing of taking things for granted. It becomes so normal that you often overlook it. Then when it's gone, you realize how twisted your perception was. Better to realize these things sooner and commit to a daily practice, even day long. I hope your journey these last few weeks with trying to be more aware of sensations in the body has gone well!

I'm glad you found this helpful 🙂. I'm curious how many 10 day courses you've done, if any?

@@Vipassanawithkhalid Hello khalid, I've watched the videos on your channel. Your video is excellent, but it won't go viral. Have a look at your channel. But why? Think about it.

I hope they work for you

That's great to here. I don't usually have time to serve a 10 day course and attend a 10 day. But I do serve on weekends. I try to go serve about 1 weekend a month. So in the end, I ask serving at the center now than 10 days a year. It's amazing to serve and to deepen the practice. May so benefit from our service.

@@Vipassanawithkhalid Hi there, I visited your UA-cam channel and saw that you have excellent content, but I don't believe that any of your videos are optimised for search engines. 1. Extremely low SEO rating (0 out of 100) 2. There is no title, description, or tag optimization 3. Social networking site that prohibits sharing. 4. A score of 0 out of 50 for the video performance. To assist you get more views and subscribers, I have chosen to conduct keyword research for your video, locate ranking tags for it, and optimize your SEO description and tags. Would you please have a look? It makes me happy to assist someone as skilled in this field as you, a content creator.

You're most definitely welcome 😁

You couldn't be more right. After food, water, and shelter.

I think noting beats attending a silent 10 day meditation course. You can find the link in any of my videos to attend. To break through, there's nothing more than practicing. The mechanic techniques themselves don't go deeper than what you've probably read about. At the 10 day, 3 and a half days are dedicated to breath meditation by focusing on the breath at the nostril area. Then the remaining days are being aware of bodily sensations. You've probably read about these two things. The real understanding comes from doing it 10-12 hours a day and seeing how to actually work. And getting your mind calmed down enough to actually experience a meditative state. So it's nothing mind boggling. There's no secret meditation techniques. There's no things you're probably not what familiar with. The only question is a matter of depth. The depth can only be achieved through continuity of practice. So if you have the time (the course is free) I would highly recommend you go.

​@@Vipassanawithkhalid Hello sir, how are you? I analyzed your UA-cam channel, and your content is great. But I found some problems with why your views & subscribers don't increase. Did you do your video SEO, file SEO & Organic promotion? Your video Didn't outreach to the targeted audience, that's why your video views aren’t increasing.

Everyone in my life knows that I meditate. I don't know about your life and your relations. But when everyone in my life knows that I meditate everyday, it's easy for them to know its time to meditate for me when they are over and spending a few nights. When they are over, I anyways try to give them some time to be by themselves as well. If we have dinner at 6 or 7, then maybe we continue to talk until 9. So then I will meditate from 9 to 10. It is rare, that if I have guests over, that we will be socializing until very late into the night. If it is the weekend, this is more likely. So I will meditate maybe at 4 or 5. Before dinner. This ensure that if we have late conversations after dinner, it is not a problem since i already meditated. It is okay if they are over for the weekend if they have a few hours to themselves here and there. I think they want that! So sometimes, when we are not actively socializing and watching a show or something, I will use this time to meditate as well. So my suggestions is, know that you will not be socializing with them 24/7 (maybe you do :D) so try to meditate during those times.

@@Vipassanawithkhalid Thank you so much for a thorough reply and for useful suggestions. My friends and family know that I meditate so its all good when they stay. When friends are around I will take you suggestions on board and meditate once they go off bed or they are watching a movie. The main thing is that I have to make a commitment to myself not to miss a sitting no matter what. Thank you once again. 🙏

​@@bhartil5902 I agree! If you yourself are committed to your self practice, then your good friends will understand. It might even inspire them and they will see you in a more respectful way. Wishing you luck in your journey!

It's definitely life changing..a spectacular practice to transform the entire experience of reality. I'm glad you are on the path as well.

Glad you found this useful! Happy to explore any topics You've been curious about when it comes to meditation.

One tip I would have for you is to have deep intentional breaths until you can feel the in and out breath. Then go to natural and try to feel both again. After a few breaths, go back to tomorrow breaths. Then normal. Alternate like this until you can consistently feel both breaths. You can also just accept your out breath is very subtle. Do any of the techniques I mentioned on just the in breath. It might help. I am glad to hear about your 10 day retreat! It was life changing for me and I hope it's very impactful for you as well.

I am so happy to hear this. Meditating regularly is the key to success. You could even split that 1 hour into 2 30 minute sessions. One in the morning and 1 at night. It might be easier to find 30 minutes first then an hour. But if your intention is 1 hour, you can do that as well.

Thank you very much. I am much happier because of this consistent practice

Do you mean 3 minutes of meditation or 3 minutes of my video?

let it shake and observe

You might want to talk to an AT about that if it’s inhibiting your practice

I'm glad you found this helpful. What did you think of the part about coming to terms with death and understanding it gives life to being an individual? Did all of that part make sense?

@@VipassanawithkhalidAbsolutely and I can’t even lie that was a huge highlight for me while watching. Death is such a touchy topic that doesn’t sit well with many people and coming to terms with it is soooo important. Another beautiful highlight in my opinion would be the transition into talking about the beginning and end of breath. You’re overall a great speaker and I enjoy deep conversations like this. It opens our eyes on so many levels that we may have never been open to before.

@@VipassanawithkhalidThanks to you I am now incorporating meditating into my new daily routine. 🎉

I love this feedback. It's amazing to connect at such a deep level with others. I agree that death is one of those things we have to come to terms with so that we are not living life in fear and ignorance. If there are any other ideas you would want me to explore, please let me know.

This is the best news! Meditation is so crucial. It's one of the practices that benefits you at the deepest level of who you are. I'm so glad to hear this. This journey too will be hard, but it's very rewarding. It took me over 12 years to be able to reach over 1,000 days of meditating. There will be times when you stop and restart. But that's okay! Do it when you are inspired to, and one day you'll see that you are meditating everyday and getting the most benefits.

I appreciate this. All the emotions are very beneficial. It's just so hard to see it sometimes.
