For now, I will leave a brief summary below. If you want a more in depth explanation, there are several resources online and books. Like I said in the video, I recommend "Why Meditate" by Matthieu Ricard if you are looking for a tutorial/guide. TYPES: There are three main forms of meditation: 1. Single focus 2. Contemplative 3. Loving Kindness. 1. Single focus meditation will improve your selective attention (ability to focus on one thing and gate out all surrounding distractions). How to do it: In single focus meditation, the goal is to focus on one thing for as long as possible (such as your breathing or a point on your body). When your mind wanders (which it will, especially when you are just starting out), simply bring your focus back to the single point of focus. When this happens, don't get upset or frustrated. This is normal and will happen a lot when you are just starting out. Each time you notice that your mind wanders and you bring your focus back to the single point, think of it as if you just did a mental rep to build your "focus muscle" (the neural circuits in your brain that are responsible for focusing.) 2. Contemplative meditation will lower your attentional blink (improve your ability to engage and disengage your attention and remain completely immersed in the present moment). How to do it: Contemplative meditation is a sort of meta-awareness training. You essentially observe the thoughts that come into your mind from a third person or birds eye view perspective without judging or critiquing them. Instead of getting carried away by your thoughts, you simply observe them and let them go. Each time your mind wanders and you get carried away by a thought, return back to your meta-awareness, birds eye view state. 3. Loving kindness meditation will make you happier and bring you a sense of peace. It essentially activates that parts of your brain that are involved in positive and loving emotions, and shuts off the brain circuits responsible for fear (the amygdala). I will write about this one in the future as I still need to do more research on it, but you can find resources online with good explanations. TIME: In terms of how long you should meditate, I still need to do more research on this. I heard on Michael Gervais' podcast that the minimal effective dose is 8 minutes and the optimal dose is 20-30 minutes (but I still have to do my own research on this - I will do so for the future videos). I meditate for 30-60 minutes every morning. I usually start out with single focus and move on to contemplative once my mind has settled. I finish with loving-kindness for my longer meditations. BODY FORM: When you're doing any form of meditation, it helps to be sitting up-right rather than laying down. When you're laying down, it is easy to fall asleep or gaze off. All of these forms of meditation will lower your stress response and improve your ability to remain immersed in the present moment. Being able to remain focused and immersed in the present moment is a necessary precursor to experiencing flow states (the most optimal state you can be in during performance).
I'm doing a mindfulness meditation course at the moment. I won't be finished until 2-3 months from now, so I will not be making that one for a while. I think it would not be right if I made that video using only what I've learned through my own research and practice. I would like to also like to learn from an experienced and licensed instructor before I make this one. In the mean time, check out John Kabat Zin's work or the following channel: Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche That would be a great place to start.
hmm the one about aggression sounds interesting, but I have quite a few videos to get through before covering that topic. Anxiety and social anxiety more generally is a great topic to cover. I still have a lot of research to do on those topics but I will get to them eventually
Cheers for this, I have been researching "meditation tip of the day" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ganlizabeth Preliminary Genie - (search on google )? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to get abundant success using meditation minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
- Try to add as much detail as possible to make it as vivid as possible - Visualize your desired outcome in detail - You should not simply positive fantasize though. There is a difference between simply letting your mind wander and fantasize about amazing scenarios, and visualizing the specific goals that you are trying to achieve. The goals that you are visualizing/trying to achieve should be specific and realistic. Important note: Performance psychology can be divided into 2 general categories: 1. Developing your skills 2. Accessing your skills You need to set goals and develop habits that will allow you constantly develop your skills (little by little, 1% by 1%). I can't emphasize enough how important this is (check out the video on deliberate practice). Visual imagery can also help you develop your craft - but it can especially help you with #2 (accessing your skills for performance).

Outstanding. Athletes or anybody who has physical job, breathing techniques taught in the meditation will give many benefits.

Great information really helps a lot thanks. Can really tell you put effort into this so keep up the good work.
@@adrianslowakiewicz2223 Thank you sir. I'm glad it helps!
This is the best video on meditation and benefits of it in sport that I have watched! Good job! :D
Of course Toni Kroos is the calm, cool, collected example.
bruh you deserve million subscribers
Best video on this topic🔥
He who meditates earnestly everyday is near unto nirvana--
That blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation.
Hey man thanks for these high quality videos

This is an impressive YT channel
Great Video!!!
Wow thanks so much
Great! But how about including women so that I can show this to my women's soccer team! Thanks!
is there a difference between mindfulness and meditation on sport? Or do they both have the same benefit
Same, improves attention
great content up until the "hot cheerleader" part - My sports psych class is half female maybe find a different distraction...
My audience is 90% male
What were the 2 letters?
The first one was G I think the other one was Q
@@zafiruzoma6234 That's what I got!
I saw G,Q went back & realized it was the other way around, so does this mean I have a sharingan
And how do you visualize for your best performance or for what I want to happen can you please respond
And how do you meditate what is the best way
- Try to add as much detail as possible to make it as vivid as possible
- Visualize your desired outcome in detail
- You should not simply positive fantasize though. There is a difference between simply letting your mind wander and fantasize about amazing scenarios, and visualizing the specific goals that you are trying to achieve.

Ok what if I to play a really good basketball game what should I set my goals as to visualize about since you said to be specific as possible

Athlete Equanimity ok should I meditate before I visualize
How do u really meditate before a game like wat are u supposed to think about are you’re eyes supposed to be closed explain please?
It depends. Working on a course that will provide examples. Will notify everyone when it's ready
Hi, may I ask for your sources of information?
Don't have them at hand right now. Altered traits (book) was main source if I remember correctly
One more question how long should I visualize for like how many minutes is good so I make sure it works
I would imagine that it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I haven't read research on this though, so I don't know
I started to do 1 hour in the morning and 1 at night, I play chess and I feel way better and am currently on a 8 win streak online and offline games.
