- What is meditation exactly?
It's a practice that's been passed down for an extremely long time.
There must be a reason why people continue to practice it!

Been meditating for 2.5 years almost everyday. Believe me guys, this works.
It’s been 3 years since u posted this comment, do u still meditate
@@smallcatbigmeow honestly kind of fell off. the past 3 years haven’t been consistent for me and been through some struggles. i do it here and there but not daily like i to. life is full of ups and downs.
How do you do it
@@hansolzy Thanks for being honest, man. I'm trying to get into meditation over quarantine and it's definitely a bit weird.
Does it count if you smoke medicsl marijuana joint during your meditation
This channel's gonna go far. Calling it now.
+Waddling Bear Calling it also
+Improvement Pill For what it's worth, I have this issue with the audio, it sounds like it's kind of muted instead of sounding clear. Again, it might be just me, otherwise, the content is solid and I really appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the good work! :)
Well, guess it did
Guess what!
*2.13 million subs*
Yep, this is one of those channels where I watch every video. Love it.
Except for the super fake annoying voice
I meditate almost every day for the last 2 years...over thinking causes anxiety....I used to over analyze situations ...people...things I thought I did that were stupid etc all the time...and realized there is no benefit..and it won't change something that alreay happened....so if I start going down that road I just say Nope in my head and stop.....and most of the time it works now...
controlling your thoughts is really the best way for you to achieve happiness because your thoughts are everything :)
How much would you say its positively influenced your life?
looks like i need to start this meditation because i overthink these things too much.
Improvement pill feels like it is changing my life perspective.
Leonard Magtoto, yea and yet we are not our thoughts. We are the watcher of the thoughts... and, until we learn otherwise, the experienced of those thoughts. Meditation separates you from your thoughts.
studying your thoughts questioning them is valuable too, have a look at Byron Katie's work on this
yes exactly, you can control whether you want to become mad or not...
enjoyed the video, very informative .
It saved my life. Tears of joy when i meditate sometimes. Trust me its that powerful.
Came across this channel at 5am, trying to sleep. Now I'm super motivated and pumped up! Would be awesome to do a video on controlling your sleep habits to the point where you can hit the pillow and pass right out. I've read many articles on the subject, would like to see your version of it. I'll be watching!
I'm blessed with that power, I wish I could help you, but idk how i even do it lol. I can literally count on one hand how many times i havnt been able to fall asleep. Would be an interesting video though! Let's see it, Improvement Pill!
tqrecords Yes I too want a video explaining why arent we able to sleep according to our will and how to make good habits particularly sleep habits for now! Hope u do it Improvement pill
Did he ever make one?
Beat your meat 2 times and you ll be fast asleep like a baby
meditation can be very helpful for insomniacs. make sure you understand what meditation really involves before you start though, it's so easy to do something you think is meditation but really does not benefit in any way.
one of the most common and best ways is through vipassana, also called mindfullness. what you do is to simply try and keep a clear awareness of all rising phenomena without judgement or distraction. this includes sounds, smells, sensations, pain, but also thoughts and emotions. even boredom, doubt and frustration. simply be aware of these phenomena. if you are sitting down and you feel a bit of an itch, instead of trying to immediately relieve it, just observe the sensation as it appears in consciousness. you will quickly see that it wont bother you any more. liking, disliking, desire and aversions are all mental projections onto these objects of consciousness. if you feel doubt that meditation will work, simply observe the feeling of doubt and it will fizz out on it's own. i hope this helps.
The last idea of focusing on nature instead of ur thoughts teared me up. When I go for walks and the time is up, I realize too late that I have missed focusing on the beauty before me and living in the moment.
2:13 I still remember that dude that stepped on my shoes and didn't apologize. People these days man, I should've said something. I'm sucha coward sometimes. Why do I even still remember this? Shit, the video ended..rewinnnnd.
LegendaryOn99 perfect example of what the vid is teaching people not to do. Thats clever
LLLLLMMMMMFFFFFFAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clever lol
Meditation really is so valuable & accessible to all!
❤️
I want to learn how to meditate. I think this can really help me with my problems in life. If I can just find my self again and be happy I know I can make everyone around me feel happy also. My kids my partner my family. I don’t have any friends but I have family. If I can just learn this I think I can really move forward in life. The Benifits from this I hear sound so unreal. Thanks for sharing this video. You’ve made my night. Thank you
I use meditation quite the opposite. I often feel that during the day I am occupied with constantly doing different things and never really have time to think about what is happening in my life. When I meditate I like to think about my life - where I am, what I am doing, why I am doing it etc. This helps me be grateful for my experiences and realize what I should be doing that makes me really happy. I believe that we can control our thoughts to be more positive by being aware of them and realize why things are happening.
You get it! Real meditation is the download and appropriate filing of information in order to grow intellectually. The "meditation" described in this video is the antithesis of that, A.K.A becoming braindead on purpose. Don't feel bad though, they're halfway to their goal.
He says meditation is also the slowing down of thoughts so it could be a form of meditation. 😊
Mindful and positive growth thoughts are okay to have during meditation 🙂
I came across this video, this channel May 1st 2017, and I could not possibly be any more grateful for the amount of effort and time you have put into this channel. To me your videos - are your perspective. You helped me completely change my perspective of this world, I have learned more than I could have ever imagined. I have adapted from your perspectives and continue to do so everyday. I spent everyday of 2017 learning and so I will spend everyday of 2018, learning and taking action. Like everyone else, Improvement Pill I want to say thank you.
This channel is seriously gonna become the most famous and helpful channel ever on youtube.Thank you for uploading so helpful videos.
Video : stop thinking for 10 seconds
Me: watching my own reflection on the screen and start to looks like patrick
I've come to the conclusion that meditation is utterly useless to some. Control of your mind isn't about removing thoughts that aren't directly positive, but understanding why those thoughts are there, and then the thoughts that lead to those thoughts and so on. Same applies for emotions. Eventually you'll get to root of what caused those thoughts or feelings and realize it doesn't really matter. Nothing actually does.
Meditation is the art of non-clinging to any thought or observation, it’s where one allows each element of existence to be itself flower then disappear without prolonging its state. Meditation can also be practiced in any state of existence. 🙏🏽
Because flowers grow on the floor. Glad there are people like you who want to help others. :)
Meditation is chanelling your attention on one thing for an extended period of time. Like breathing. Observing without influencing it.
LEGEN.. Wait for it.. DARY - - Legendary Channel with great content, keep going man!
I subbed to you a couple months back. Here's an idea why is higher education important. A lot of young minds nowadays focus too much on early work rather than getting a degree.
I've only been meditating for a few days and I can already feel the difference.
i tried to start a few days ago, but as i sat there, eyes closed, feeling everything, i thought, “what’s the point of this? i’m kind of bored..” but this video changed my whole perspective thank you
That's the point of meditation. Bored = peace
There's no positive nor negative state happening in you, but after that your mind is clearer and you can manage your thoughts better.
Atleast in my assumption that's what meditation mean.
@@pixtlewint5095 interesting perspective thank you
Just discovered your channel today and I'm glad! I did. Love the style of the way you convey great tips to help your viewers... , it's very calm. You have earned a new subscriber, keep up the great work 💪. Blessings 🙏👑
Another great video bro, been meditating for a couple months and can say that the benefits are great.
Suggestion: Do a video on self discipline.
Peace!
Thank You. Mediation is to dominate positive thoughts over negative thoughts.
I feel like my life is changing just through these videos. I fee so much better already. Thank you sooooo much.
Leondra Fair I agree
same here:)
Dont just watch though, Practice as well!!
+Leondra Fair I never thought pills came in video version, i wish schools would be like this. This channel is the senzu bean of my life.
Things I'd like to know more about:
Stopping self sabotage
Becoming more comfortable with vulnerability
Healing emotional wounds and dealing with mental pain
All kind of related, but there's my opinion. Thanks!
You should watch my tedx talk called "life is an illusion" maybe you'll understand more about what you've been wanting to know
+Improvement Pill Could you do a video explaining how one may start a journal? For example, key points to include that are highly effective in self-realisation
Best study technique ( that combines fast learning and lasting memory)
It definitely works! If you need to relax feel free to take a look around💜
Pill, you are AWESOME!
Meditation is really very effective, it relaxes your body and mind. Starting your day with meditation gives you the energy that will last throughout the day.
You're absolutely right Maureen.
I just discovered this channel today and it's helped me in so many ways already :)
I know what you mean. I’ve had moments where I feel little to no thoughts at all. Those moments are far and few, but perhaps practicing an art like this could make them more frequent. I feel so at peace when my mind is free of thoughts.
follow budishem you can relif stress
@@relaxmindwithunivers you don’t have to be religious to be at peace
You are my life guru.
David Hwang What is the meaning of Guru??
just for fun Spiritual leader
Thank you so much for this. You honestly might've just changed my life.
Just subscribed thank you 💪🏻
The large majority of thoughts are useful because processing of information requires time. Thoughts build up to become new thoughts, or what call conclusions. Everything we do is useful, but meditation in particular helps us discern over what thoughts need our attention and which don't.
Great work short, concise and through the point
this channel is awesome and because of it ive been meditating (kind of.. not perfect) consistently since last year and as someone who can fall into an anxious spiral a lot its really been helpful for getting my brain to shut up
Meditation is not about switching of your thoughts, as the video tells us. Its also not about having positive thoughts the next time someone steps on your feet. Its about observing whats happening internally, and not identifying with whatever that is. As told thoughts pop up spontaneously, so whether these are so labelled "positive or negative thoughts", they don't belong to you, they come and go naturally. The calmness that comes often times is a very welcome side effect, but not the main goal.
Of course, meditation is root to self peace.
Really informative ❤
Meditation doesnt mean thinking less, its more like a game of focus
. The better you can focus, the less likely you get thoughtprocesses taking over your thinking. You could say that you filter and reduce your brains tendency to make neural noise impacting you.
Pelle Chamliden Hey man, does this really work. Can this increase my focus? Does it take long for one to get good? Sorry for randomly asking you, but i just thought of all these questions lol
david ramziz Yes it does work to train your focus. It is similar to train yourself in athletic exercises, you improve results as your training goes on. How quick you get improvements depends on your previous level , and on how efficient your exercises are. Remember that resting/processing is also part of the path of improving focus. If you find a good strategy, it is possible to improve within a three day period.
If you want to develop a life skill it requires that you ingrain it as a habit.
Focus when studying can be a problem if you get distracted. A common way to solve this is to find a peaceful quiet place, and study in bursts of 20 to 40 minutes with 5 to 15 minutes breaks inbetween. This helps you maintain a good focus level and avoid distractions.
If distracting thoughts is a problem, it helps often to meditate/introspect to see what may be the cues of the thoughts (habit). Then there are several ways of dealing with this depending on your situation.
awesome man.....love this....
TOPIC :- Gratitude.
What if thoughts are neutral or simply rational? For example if someone steps on our shoe, we don't HAVE to think "how dare he?". We could judge rationaly if it was done on purpose in which case we SHOULD react negatively, or if it was done because he/she was pushed or if they lost their balance, in which case we should react positively and either support the person that was pushed or check if they are aalright in case they lost their balance.
Thoughts can also be obserations and conclusions derived from them. To use the same example, you could observe that someone is about to push another person towards you and judge whether you want to stay there and hold them so they don't hurt themselves, or you could decide to move out of the way and not have your foot stepped on. Or you could observe that someone is old/wounded or whatever and predict that they might lose their balance. Again, you can have a rational reaction and decide whether you want to be helpful or neutral.
I'm going to look into meditation a bit more before I make my decission about it. I just feel this video oversimplified its examples to make a point and it left me with more questions than answers.
finally someone explained it in a way I can understand, thanks!
this channel is best of all these self help channels! this is teaching so many new things!
I just love the way complex ideas are expressed in mere 4-5 minutes so lucidly. Indeed, "pictures worth a thousand words". Keep making such videos.
Thank you :)
We cannot turn off and on our thoughts. Need to aware of it and Move on.
Thanks a lot for this video, really helpful. Do you guys have Patreon? I would definitely contribute.
Please keep the channel going. You're helping people, making a positive impact in the world.
To get success start meditation satsang laughing dancing singing walking fasting and music are best medicine's of the world.
When he said stop thinking for 10 seconds I lowkey stopped breathing on accident while trying to stop thinking like wtf💀
Beautifully Presented....Thanks man!
Meditation is not sitting on the mountain like mock
It can be breathing and to overcome the speed of your thoughts
I love your videos and follow lots of your advice. I feel like I'm becoming a better person already! I've turned on post notifications because I know you can help me out more, keep up the good work💪🏻💥😝✌🏻
Exactly what i needed to hear about
Thank you so much...starting from today itself..
Yeah definitely this vedioclears my thoughts about meditation
Your channel is getting better and better. Thanks for your tips and help. Maybe you could do a video about studying?
+Improvement Pill yea I think that would be a helpful video. Thanks!
great video again :)
keep it up
just wanted to inform you, that you didn't put the sources in the description below
From 7 levels of meditation, not thinking is level 3 only and barely scratches the surfice. Proper meditation starts much deeper. But yea, the video is nice.
Do I hear a difference? Yep.. I think I do! Your voice sounds less monotone and more exciting. Good job buddy. Can't wait for more content!
***** Anytime bro. Loved your video about NoFap the most. I tried convincing a buddy of mine that Nofap really had benefits. Without succes... but that video made so much sense he who was against nofap got now into nofap because of you. He's already noticing great changes ;)
Like I said... Can not wait for more content!
+Fjerid shoot ima go check out nofap
Meditation cleansing your mind. After reading such high number of comments. Seeing this meditation benefits Mesmerizing me :)
In these 10 seconds I really thought about nothing.
It happens not so often that a random thought comes to my mind.
But I don't really like that. I feel like I'm on standby all the time and just when I need to think about something, I do it :/
Wow, this is exactly how I am feeling as well
Very nicely expressed 👌
Meditation transforms our lives. 😇
Mind stops chattering with daily practice of Meditation.
"Shavasan" is a very easy and effective tool to meditate. 🙏
Elaborate on this, I’d like to learn more
This can changes our lives. We need to learn that how to unlearn what we have learned. Just teach your self to let it go.
Meditation isnt to stop thought. Its to stop being caught up in our minds. If you try and stop your powerful mind, it will burst eventually - like a great river. Try to see your thoughts and emotions as clouds passing by. Some are small, some large, some grey, some black. The clouds always change, but your awareness of them is always pure.
thank you so much to for your guidance 😊😊
Awesome!!! I can't believe that after meditating for so long there are still things I can learn. Thank you :)
does meditation gives you powers
I know now why I don't get the benefits of meditation. Most of my thoughts are in fact always positive. Thx for the video, greatly illustrated.
first of all i would like to tell you that your conversation video changed me and for me it as much needed, you are doing a great work. love you. i would like to see a video from you about how to get out of the mental comfort zone?
I watched this to gain some more understanding. Tbh I think I'm am already doing a lot of this. Maybe it's all the mindfulness training I've received.
Ok. it's a very nice way to introduce people to this beautiful concept. Thanks
thanks
Meditation benefits: less involved with your thoughts, more involved with the beauty of the world!
Thank you. Meditate all the time ...
i can reccomend apps called Calm and Headspace they are paid but both have 10 day free guided meditations so you cant lear a lot in that 20 days :)
+Duno They are good if you're just beginning. After you get it, you can start meditating without guidance, using just a timer app.
I'm doing a speech on meditation and found this very helpful. Thank you! Only problem is almost none of your sources actually exist. that's a problem
This is SO well done. Beief, yet very informative. Thank you
Hey improvement pill: can you plz make a video about how to make good productive habits and how to break a bad habit thanks
Meditation is life I barely think n when I do only positive thoughts most of time..
amazing content as usual :) keep it up :)
Faisal Ilyas here; I know our brain is a super computer, and we thing a lot! Meditation is important on regular basis for the purification, relaxation and calmness of our mind.
Please make a video on how to get rid from toxic people....!!
I just surpassed the 300 minutes of meditation mark and it has changed my life the only thing I would disagree with you on is I believe meditating is about letting go of your thoughts, not stopping them
Nice man! i really like your channel,i been practicing meditation for 8 months ,and it's like you said in this video,all correct,keep it up man!
+Improvement Pill I practice mindfulness meditation, just focusing on the present moment and trying not to judge my thoughts. That gave me non judgmental mind.
I can now control my emotions and I can choose what emotion I want to feel.
+Improvement Pill How long have you been practicing meditation, and what kind?
***** Nice man,keep it up! You are great at what you're doing!
Great video as usual. Meditation also improves energy, creativity and spiritual connection! 😁
I am going to meditate starting today
STARTED: Sept. 20, 2022
R u still going
How’s it going
You're videos are quality content, keep going man
30LAKH SUBSCRIBERS WITHOUT FACESCAM ONLY ANIMATED VIDEOS🎥 ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT💪
Hey, great job. make a video about self confidence or more about communication.
A beautiful channel I have come across today and great advices here. Thank you so much. :)
I've been able to do that without meditation its something i just developed personally i dont think it's necessary to sit cross legged in order to do this it can literally be done standing but maybe there's something im missing
Love this! You explained this really well! Great work my friend
This is being done by Yogis and Rishis of India for the ages. picked up by Buddhist monks as well later. Now all over the Globe several people are practicing it. All the benefits mentioned in this video are only the tip of ice burg. The main goal of Meditation is attain Samadhi.
i control my feelings through logical thinking, example someone steps on my shoe and dosent say sorry, i dont care why should i it wasnt an act of anything against me it was just an accident and what happens to your shoe ,nothing
I will try it
Meditation really works to me😉😁
I love your channel bro
