When I was in school, I had done this type of meditation during lectures
Ha ha ha
LOL, get out of here or keep doing what you had been doing in school.
No joke buddy
We all did classes teach u automatically 😂😂
They rightfully say that we learn everything in school
he is so adorable,, “me not you”!!!!
Haha I was about to do what he's doing just when he said "me. Not you!" And I laughed and just watched him. useful video 👍
So right
Yeah, he is so adorable and funny.
He is so,, normal,, like a neighbor
How condescending to call an adult male adorable.
This is the closest thing to a Jedi we will ever get
What a lovable guy. He doesn't take himself so seriously that he can't joke around and have fun when teaching, but still maintains an aura of such dignity.
He is a Tibet Buddhist monk famously know for the meditation all over the world.
yes! i aspire to be like him!
he seems to naturally cause people to smile and learn towards him and to listen. Wisdom, humility and a sense of gentleness and a sense of humour and happiness.
Well if he took himself seriously it means "a lot of ego". It would be an indication he isnt a monk.
This is the « enlightenment». The sence of superiority, you often see in alot of gurus is from their inate narcissism. That is they feel a need to protect their « self image».
This man has no ego to protect, and has the ability to empatise with others. So his humor and good nature makes others come to him for wisdom. But it never came easy to him, in his book « in love with the world» he talk about his anxity and struggle as a young man on his path to become a munk. And the pressure he feelt, from beeing a descendent from a lineage of patriarcal Munks in Tibet
I finished your Book,In Love with the World just yesterday and I was really trying to look out for a video or tutorial on how to do sleep meditation. Today is my birthday and I received this video as Gift.
Happy Birthday!
How lucky.
happy birthday stranger!
Happy Birthday .......

Thank you so much i really needed this right now
@@stp4341 ❤️
He is like the reincarnation of master yoda, i love it !!
Correction, master yoda is reincarnation of him 😜
I accidentally fallen sleep while meditating in the evening, I felt really good and so fresh when I woke up! I think it works. Great work!
Everyone please! Now don’t go around telling your friends you meditate for 8 hours daily. :)
This is something new, I really appreciate him making these kinds of videos. Even though I mostly procrastinate but eventually I come back and take 1 Hour daily for his soothing voice which helps greatly in being in state of Meditation!
I actually wouldn't be surprised he he actually felt sleepy, as he is so relaxed and calm all the time. Don't be offended by no means am I saying that he is lazy, I just admire him so much
Somehow I doubt it, there is some data showing long-term meditators have shorter (more efficient) sleep cycles. He probably needs less sleep and still has more energy than most. I think the association between calmness and sleepiness arises from the fact that most people with modern lifestyles are chronically sleep-deprived; as soon as they start to slow down, the fatigue begins to catch up.
Sleep is basically a biological mechanism to heal from the damage you incur from wakefulness. The more you meditate, the less of this damage you incur, because there is significantly less self-related drama.
@@Milkshakman hahaha self related drama， what a great way to put it！
Yes relaxed and calm which is very interesting when you read about his debilitating anxiety and panic attacks when he was younger. Living proof of the benefits of meditation for mental health problems
You're absolutely right sir! Regular meditators have this ability to attain the state of meditation anytime-anywhere, as they are always relaxed...!
@@Milkshakman Yes you are right even I've read so about it. They sleep around 4-5 hours a day which are plenty enough as they are highly efficient and enough for them to recover and function properly. He must be pretty busy tho. I read somewhere that he frequently travels to do meditation sittings across the world. Must be traveling more than 20 hours a week. Meditation must help cope him with all the jetlag!
Literally : Jedi Master Mingyur Rinpoche :)
I THOUGHT THE SAME 😂💙
I love how the subtitles read „meditation“ at one point.
Sometimes it's like this (10%), sometimes it's just a blackout (90%). When you manage to maintain your awareness, it feels like one part of your brain is functioning while other parts are sleeping and I can get what happened only retrospectively. Like wow, I was conscious and sleeping at the same time.
That has happened to me today during a nap. Alert to the surroundings yet dreaming and resting.
Did you sit upright like him in order to do this?
@@studentofspacetime No, I was sitting and my head between my arms, bowed down against the table. I'm not sure it's exactly the same phenomenon but it felt the same
@@lauracrimsonmusic I see. Thing is, I find it hard to stay aware while lying down, I just suddenly black out. On the other hand, sitting like Mingyur Rinpoche makes it hard to fall asleep at all.
@@studentofspacetime no, usually this happens when I am doing my favorite part of yoga, which is shavasana :) I never have managed to do the same staying upright.
Venerable Rinpoche la.. I bow down three time with respect and pray that I will be one of your many students in future who will spread the light and Buddha dharma..May all sentient beings free from suffering... Om Mani Padme hu 🧎🏻🧎🏻🧎🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wish you all reading this, a moment of clarity in your thoughts, peace around you and a good health. May the humanity care more about life!
Thanks for all of your meditation tutorials Rinpoche. You're motivating me to meditate, thanks for your service to the humanity.
He's just so cute, just watching him and hearing his soothing voice is no less than a meditation to me~💓
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO SIR 💓🙏
I'm not sure it's intentional but I find him hilarious (in a good way I mean).
I love his humor!
Yes he has a great sense of humour!!
Could you tell me where your profile pic is from? It's an anime right?
@@brianlittrell797 it's from a computer game called Nier Automata. The picture is of the main character in the game called 2B. :)
@@cad3nce My intuition is telling me it's a very good game and my type of game. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Rinpoche!!!!! 💖💖💖
If I want to do sittingmeditation, I always do walking meditation before, it gives me more energy
and I never feel in sleep again. It helps me a lot.
Thank you Mingyur Rinpoche! 💙 Your channel is a valued part of UA-cam and we're lucky to have you here.
You're amazing and such a sweet human being. I'm so grateful of your videos and teachings, you always help me a lot 💙
3:00 he knows me so well... my mind always drifts to pizza O.o
i think that is what he said too.. did he say mind goes to pizza?
@@jesp999 that's what I heard too
I understood "when your mind goes to peace out"
Mine to nuggets 😂😂
Please someone else tell me they imagined him in a basket on the front of a bicycle
🤣🤣🤣🙏🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - ET go home!
No... But now. You're absolutely right☺️
👽 🤣🤣🤣
😝
Great imagination 😂😂😂
He is so lovely :)
Guru ji you do simple things which are most complicated for us , thank you for guiding us
I just love that he is always in a state of joy !
Merci pour cette bienveillance, merci de nous éclairer ainsi ♡
Thanks and pranam
Thanks maharaj ji
This medditation is one of the most relaxing way to stay relax and be aware.
I have never realize we could meditating with sleep and sleepiness. Thank you for your guidance.
Omg so Adorable to sweet 🥰 so Amazing.. you are a wonderful Teacher Always so joyful..
Just wanted to stop by and tell the person who is reading this that they are amazing and can do amazing things in this world and no mater what happens/happened it will be OK🙏🙂
I really, really enjoy your teachings...I'm christian, follower of Jesus and combined with your teachings in this times and in a city like New York, I feel truly bless..🙏 😭 thank you
Just what I was needed ! This time I am having a lot of nightmares, maybe this practice could help before sleeping. Thanks a lot!
it could help, but i would personnaly record these nightmares to be able to identify their differences to real life, and then tell myself to identify these differences before bed, and if you are able to identify them inside a nightmare you can realise you are dreaming and wake yourself up, or explore your dream world.
Although i would recommend doing a reality check like pinching your nose and trying to breathe to see if it truly is a dream. btw it's called lucid dreaming
and also, did the practice help? it's been 2 years
I love ALL OF YOU so soo sooo much. Have no Fear.
Aww yes ,thank you I've done this but needed clarity the awareness does continue in the sleep after🤗
Thankyou rinpoche 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, I've been trying to find out why I tend to fall asleep when meditating. I also felt that I was asleep.
Thanks Thanks 🙏🏻 for the advice it is Literally Life changing 😊😭
pubbe ananussuthesu! saadhu saadhu saadhu!
Thank you 🌺🌻🦋🌸🌷
I was feeling so sleepy while doing meditation and trying to avoid sleeping maybe try next time for sleep to catch me in the meditation state..thank you la 🙏
This is a great skill that we really want to master, because it will prepare us during the dying process, so we can avoid the next reincarnation.
He's such a good actor, nearly fell asleep at the same time
Om maney padme hum🙏🙏🙏
This resonates with my experience ("pizza" is really strong very often though). Thank you for kindful explanation. 🙏🙏🙏
I love his accent 😍 ❤
Thank you, when I uncontrollably slept during the course of listening to Mahavatar Babaji's mantra video, I felt I lost my meditation. But you made me happy. I really had nice sleep but I don't remember what I saw in my dream while sleeping.
You are just excellent and the way you explain is amusing. Thank you
Very very thankful for the information
i love his voice 🥺💖💖
I closed my eyes
You failed
this is wonderful .
many thanks.
thank you so much!
A true blessing 🙏🏽🙏🏽

You are a joy to listen and learn meditation from! And I love the background! Awesome!
My guru.
Excellent! I have type 1 diabetes; if my blood glucose is high and I'm trying to meditate, it's like I am asleep. Or I feel like sleeping. Sometimes, I think I have had a really good meditation. Then I find out my glucose is high, and I feel disappointed. This video really helps!
The background is so nice!
Realy thankful for this technique..🙇♂️🙇♂️
mmmh good idea maybe I should try to meditate myself into sleep.. It always takes more than a hour for me to fall asleep... And it takes so much time for my mind and body to calm down .. Thanks for this video.. I really like your simple way of explaining :)
Oneday...
I was in the sleepiness and in a dream , dream mean which are generally feeling during sleep. I was aware during sleepiness that I could know that I was is sleepiness during sleep. When I was wake up I was so happy ...
I sleep in this way that if something like sound or other if create near me...I suddenly aware those things..and wake up..
I really want to more aware of this...
It's really joyble...

Actually i like your voice
I couldn't stop laughing after seeing the image of the video🤣🤣
👇Who else
Although I have a deep sense of respect for him
Another way of looking at things is telling yourself that you aren't your own thoughts. You aren't what's buzzing around in your mind. What's really *you* isn't throwing itself around like an excitable corgi in a pen, but it can be hard to find yourself in the middle of flashbacks to how the day went, to concerns or regrets - or even fun things, like bursts of inspiration. It might seem weird, but when you're trying to fall asleep, you also aren't that part of you that's coming up with bursts of insight.
When you're in bed with the intent to sleep, the only thing that matters is that intent. The trick is this isn't something you can *focus* on - it's something you find in the empty spaces between diverging thoughts. So how to you navigate that minefield?
You don't. The trick is learning to sit still, in the acceptance that all your thoughts are transitory. It might help to refocus on something basic, like your own breath or your partner's heartbeat if someone's close to you, or you can do what I do and maintain a soft focus, just seeing how the lack of illumination is distorting shadows in the room.
There's also the need to be kind to yourself. It might be that your insomnia has other causes, some of which might not be under your control. If you honestly can't sleep, don't try to will it into existence; it'll never work. Instead, read a book or take the dog out for a nighttime stroll. Walk around the house or stop by an in-progress jigsaw puzzle you keep lying around. If you can avoid screens or white light, do so - no amount of meditation is going to fix the fact that our constant exposure to screens and monitors is screwing with our natural circadian rythmns. If you're a gamer, either don't play games one hour before your scheduled bedtime, or add an extra hour to your routine, so you can wind down in your bed using a *physical* book, not an e-Reader or a tablet.
Now, if you're like me and you're a stubborn and persistent night owl, it might also be a good idea to delegate productivity to daytime hours and to progressively shift your bedtime and rising hours. The hardest part for me still involves that, and I'm still tempted to work on stuff in the wee hours just because I *seem* to have energy to spare. The fact is I don't, I just feel like I do. I note down ideas and work on a bullet journal when something keeps me awake, so that I don't necessarily toss away good ideas. Once consigned to paper, they're there until I rip the page. That means I'm free to *not* think about them.
Finally, what really helps is re-framing sleep as a concept. We're so pushed towards productivity that we're shown examples of people suffering from chronic sleep deprivation with clearly identifiable symptoms, and they're propped up as models of proactive behavior. Read up on the human brain and what happens to it when it gets less than the average eight hours of classic nocturnal sleep, and a lot of behavioral quirks out of certain heads-of-state or company moguls make a worrying amount of sense.
You're not weak if you need more than eight hours a day to recharge. That's just what your body's stated as its minimum requirements. In fact, giving yourself quality sleep is more productive on the long term than all the all-nighters you could ever pull in the name of career advancement or academic pursuits.
i like this
You are just amazing😄👍🏻. I'm very glad I know this channel.
“Sleep is the best meditation.” - Dalai Lama
Me encantan tus meditaciones ❤️⛰🧘🏻♀️
Casting for the new E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial movie.
Great performance for doing initial meditation process guru we need more logistics steps ....
Thank you Mingyur
Wow.. never thought about that concept with sleep. 👏🙏🙏🙏
Lucid dreams and OBEs follow when you do this...
Cheers for the tip.
i thought the same.
As long as it’s not sleep paralysis. That is a very unsettling experience
Thankyou so much for this knowledge.. Really appericiate u..
Very nice explaination and technique
This video also triggered my ASMR. Very nice
This is very nice, not just sure if it is what I experience... in between sleep and awareness, I experience as if I'm in a movie house, and just watching what appears to be vivid thoughts... It's such a nice experience, however, I just can't sustain it for long, because I would then fall into sleep...
This happens naturally from time to time. It's wonderful to know I'm not doing anything "wrong". I will no longer be aggravated when falling out. ZZzzzzzzz :D
Happy birthday mentor rimpo ji
This made me sleepy lol
