Her voice is so calming...
I want her to be by my side when I'm meditating
She is so agonisingly beautiful…
Josh Stewart Agonizingly? Really? I mean come on, she's pretty on the eyes but not agonizingly.......lol, UA-cam
Prince Blake different people have different tastes , what gives you the right to ridicule somebody? just because you do not agree with it doesn't make it wrong. As is typical with people on youtube only their opinion is right...as you said "lol, youtube"
Adrian Goodison
News flash UA-cam police. opinions work both ways. I have the "right" to ridicule his/her
exaggeration of Hannahs looks as much as you have the "right" attack an inane joke. People must not disagree with you often (they probably do but find confronting you exhausting , like this conversation).
I wish her voice could narrate my life!
Mine too
"You should sit in bed with a pad of paper." *pulls out gigantic book*
+Dallas Dwayne LOL yeah I thought that too lmao
😂
Dallas Dwayne i was on this part when i read the comment lol
True! LOL
I shatttered laughing w your comment
thanks
I love her light eyes, soft voice and bedroom hair. I could wake up to this every morning. O goodness me.
I'm gonna say that was the point. we're watching a video that was made by philosophical, psychological, and neurological geniuses. they probly have experience on how to be appealing to the senses.
+David Campos \that's a well shit keyboard she plays tho. innit. Da girlz gotta play analogue or get a real piano.
+Nunja Bizniz Stop ruining our dreams! :P
+David Campos I think you need to get out more...
+David Campos I see their appeal to being soft spoken in order to help deliver their message, but sometimes it just sounds like they are whispering.
Is this how she usually speaks? Ridiculously sensuous voice. Ding Dong.
ImmaterialDigression Yea, it's kinda distracting
ImmaterialDigression her voice makes me so chill
Luxonism whatever it is, needs to be given an 18+ rating
***** I enjoy her tone. Its very consoling.
ImmaterialDigression cannot find anything wrong with her voice.
Her voice dear god it is literally the most soothing shit I have heard in ages, could replace a soundtrack for sleeping
Try asmr on youtube, bet you'll like it
Wild4lon she guides us in "2-minute meditation." Wish i could loop that one but even the 2 minutes is a buzz
Hannah seems like a very pleasant person to be around.
The tranquility she exudes is very contagious, and it makes me want to be a better person.
Keep up the videos, they're much appreciated.
this girl makes me doubt my straightness
same
Her voice too...
I'm informed that she's interested in a three some, but only if it can be put on you tube
This girl makes me doubt my gayness
true...
The hostess is ideal for this video. Her voice is calm, she smiles with her entire face and her eyes are magic, almost like looking into space. Beautiful and relaxing. It's almost like she's calmness in person. Fascinating!
I'm going to try this exercise by the way.
damn why don't you marry her then huh lol
+Edgar Wills yeah, why not?
i love her😅
this is a secret asmr video
ooo tell me what that is please
Benhur Yohannes
ca.lmgtfy.com/?q=asmr
+Your Mum I don't think it's a secret at all. She is giving us altruistic attention, that's a big trigger for most. She also has a bit of a breathy voice.
Scrolled down looking for this!
I had a suspicion but you confirmed my theory.
*I KNEEWWWW IITTTT!!!!*
As soon as I saw an attractive woman with an accent, IN A BED -- I somehow knew the comments section would be filled with savages. Thanks for going above and beyond my expectations. lol
+Huey P Awww c'mon, could have been a lot , lot worse!
And just where would we all be without this 'savage' instinct ?
My apologies. I thought I was above such behavior. However this channel IS all about self discovery right?
I've just finished doing this for the second day - and I love it. It really helps me to do this first, and then an Eastern style meditation to clear the air after I put everything in order. I had previously only been doing Eastern style meditation and was VERY frustrated that it didn't let me deal with thoughts that came up, but this mix of both is wonderful! It can be a hassle though. Philosophical meditation took me an hour today... I hope it gets to be more like 20 minutes the more you do it?
What's the worst that can happen? A psychopath breaks into my room, chops off all my limbs, nails me to the back of the door and sets fire to the house. Yep, I'm screwed. lol
***** True? That isn't helpful! haha
ImmaterialDigression In Brazil, this is rather common.
Gergő Soós Anxieties don't need to be realistic. Or are you saying people who are anxious about such things aren't actually anxious? :P
Nice thing about that is the fire toasted the sandwich.
ImmaterialDigression I think you beat George Orwell. The worst he could think of was getting his face gnawed off by rats (Although, come to think of it, that's pretty bad too.) I enjoyed the dark humor of you and your commentators, especially the toasted sandwich.
ImmaterialDigression Why would they take the trouble of maiming you and then nailing you to the back of your door only to burn down their creation? sound more like a sadist
This is an example of a sound tingling our senses, an ASMR I'd suppose.
It feels good. Thank you.
Fuck me, I can't focus anything she says even though her sweet soothing voice is honey to my ears. I am mesmerized by her beauty. Is she an angel in disguise?
Manjusri Yeah her voice is amazing!
Jon Hart Subjective!
If this channel is anything, it's extremely enlightening.
Thank you all so much for a lovely evening of ideas and intellectual company as I've worked on the tedious side of a project on my computer. Sometimes it was simply reminding me of certain things I passionately enjoyed learning about and discussing in the lovely rich days in university, while I also learned some fantastic things and gained some new perspectives. It is so uplifting just to hear such bright people speaking with such eloquence and perception and benevolence across such a broad range of topics, especially in our current complicated and muddled times of looming transition and old orders and ideologies clashing so blindly against the new. Beautiful job on everything. You are beautiful people. Thanks for the boost of knowledge and optimism for humankind.
Dr. Roxburgh, your honeylike voice and your delightful beauty are genuine mind trouble cleaners.
Thank you!
Blimey, Alain De Botton scrubs up well.
is she in any other video. Her voice is just so damm soothing
please have you found any?
Honestly, this is the sexiest video I have seen on the internet so far.
seen? 😂😋
No I mean, she is both feminine, intelligent and sexy. She is the dream girl. There are very few intelligent and pretty women left.
anoitedfighter Or she just reads a script...
does she has a facebook account
My god, her voice
Her voice, your god.
People in this comment section are hella romantic. Like chill.
+Max Mubagwa Why can't a video just be about the meditation, not the woman?
That's what I'm saying
Oh yeah, I was totally agreeing with you! :)
+Isy Because she is amazingly beautiful, calm and intellectual
+Max Mubagwa BUT SHE FINE THO!
Its like people in the comment section never seen an attractive person before
I think there's something special abt her.. i myself finds her really attractive, not the same attractiveness compared to some celebrities. :)
"special" what a funny word, theres 7.5 billion people out there, so much in fact you could spend all your life counting to that number & die before doing so. Most can agree theres nothing "special" about this person, in your eyes tho she may be because finding something special is subjective
Well rest assured .. i dont have the intention to spend all my life counting each and every individuals that make up the world's population but yeah i would want to have some spare time to meet and get to know ppl and find, subjectively of course, what makes them special. ^_^
its not just about the way she looks, her magnetism is deeper, there could be much more beautiful people in just appearance but they wont have the same appeal and charm as her.
Well, we have. Plenty of them. They are not usually beautiful though. I believe a man fantasies with a beautiful girl and someone you could discuss deep interests.
I feel like self reflection really does help to understand yourself more and sometimes even realize that some anxieties are completely irrational. Great video, thank you!
She's so pretty...her voice is like audible chocolate.
This video is exactly what I needed to help bring me back down to earth, thank you school of life!
Timothy Griffin love that.."her voice is lije audible chocolate."
I adore this woman in a way that I am not sure is 100% healthy. Given, this video was wonderful and I intend to try doing it. Why not eh? It could prove to be a challenge after sitting through philosophy classes, so perhaps I'll be doing this in the morning :)
SimplyMayaBeauty Me too. I want to marry her voice alone. Although, I'm in America, so not sure that's technically legal yet.
Hey Guys, is it just me or does she sound like an angel ? her voice is relaxing and interesting at the same time, Nice video btw :)
I had to watch that three times to take it all in because the beautiful woman was distracting me. So here I am writing about it. Seriously though I went to rehab nearly dead three years ago and was made meditate twice a day for twenty minutes and write in a book. At some stage since then, though I've stayed sober, I stopped writing in the book and meditating. I've grown steadily more anxious. I'm excited for things that I see as real possibilities now but I'm also so afraid of failure that it's holding me back. Inaction leads to frustration which leads to anger and bitterness, anxiety and depression. All while forgetting the achievements made and not seeing the irrationality of the fears that bind. I've watched all the videos you guys put out and I think perhaps this is the most important of all and I will certainly be sharing it. Thank you all.
Dr Hannah Roxburgh strikes again, like a velvet hammer to our hearts! HOORAY!
Thank you for such knowledge. I only went to first grade for three weeks when I was younger, but that never kept me from learning. June 2012, I received my G.E.D after only 24 days.I was only able to go one day a week, but was so happy. I finished at the top thanks to teachers like you
What a lovely calming voice she has. Just listening to her speak makes me feel like I am meditating.
The world needs more videos like this
I couldn't express my gratitude to the people in charge of The School of Life. Your videos have helped in so profound ways to overcome many stages of my life. You have helped me to reach for a better version of myself, a wiser and more spiritual version.
If it's not too much to ask, I would love if you could create a video about Hate, more precisely how it can impact someone, in a good or bad way. Can it be overcome? Should it be?
I may be sounding a bit demanding, but this could guide me very much.
Thank you guys for your great job.
This has been my M.O. since I was a teenager, it was a huge help dealing with some of the complexities both typical and atypical of that time. It's a brilliant habit to develop.
She is like a mermaid talking and I just cannot focus. It's the second time I play the thing and end up daydreaming about how irrelevant philosophy would be if I were in that bed. Sorry I give up.
+Ricardo Murillo Love your honesty man!
;-)
She is merely a siren! Concentrate on making your way back home to Ithica!
I will. Hard with video though.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh such an amazing voice and accent, i love it, i need to hear her voice whenever i need sleep
Even greater meditation is letting the beauty of this woman carry you to a place where you forget the meaning of words and you begin to hear the very sound of her soothing breathy voice which magically heals your weary soul. It is like listening a soft wind in a forest - with every whisper it tells you that everything is alright now.
Thank you so much for this video. I've always had trouble buying into standard forms of meditation, as I felt that they did not truly help the situation, but rather distracted your mind for a time. This is the perfect means of organizing my thoughts. :)
This - particularly the analysis of my own emotional condition and state of mind - is something I've actually done since my early teen years. I've been enjoying this channel on a level I can't begin to describe, I suppose I just figured out why - like-minded people :)
I've been doing this every fortnight for 6 weeks now and, it always takes me at least an hour to get through all the questions. That's why i only ever do it fortnightly. I do a lot of other journalling too but this is the big one. I will probably do a reflection on this in the near future to see if I feel like it's been beneficial. I do enjoy it. It just takes a while.
Just watching her speaking and listening her sweet voice gave me post meditation calmness...
Beautiful hair... why am i writing all these things... (dont know, never mind)
I am ... am touched by the ... the loveliness of this scene. No need for «philosophical meditation» anymore. Life is good.
My gosh... she put down planting tulips... the same thing I am procrastinating about. It is a sign lovely soft speaking lady! I will go plant my tulips right now, even if it is Dec 9th!
I don't remember how I got to know this channel, but I'm glad I did
Thank you for this very helpful insight. I always attempt to sit in solitude and meditate the "proper" way but there has always been too much internal chatter. This is exactly what I believe will be of great benefit to me.
Just watching this video made me feel better. Her voice is incredibly soothing.
Goddammit, these videos are unbelievable!
Thank you School of Life, you're helping thousands of people with their life.
I have been doing philosophical meditation since i found philosophy. Learning is beyond interesting, its also something u can apply to your life.
Very useful. I personally like spending time clearing up my thoughts, but it often takes up way more than 20 min to get these sorted, and so I fail to practice the meditation daily. Hopefully I can practice being less perfect about getting everything resolved in a session of philosophical meditation.
Thanks so much for this!
I've always been suspicious of the popularity of Eastern meditative practices, probably because I read too much Zizek. This seems like a wonderful alternative that actually provides skepticism about our lives rather than being a soporific for them. Also, I love this channel and everything that you do and stand for.
Thank you for sharing this video. This lady has such a soothing voice - Bless her.
Hearing her speak is the meditation I need!
Her voice is so calming, it's amazing
This women is so relaxing. She should totally start her own ASMR channel
I found this video to be extremely helpful for coping with anxiety. I think that should praised rather than heralding misogynistic comments about physical attractiveness. I think it's such a shame that people in the comments section have decided to focus on the woman herself, not the concept she was trying to convey.
She is a lovely, lovely angel. Just listening and watching her is calming and mood lifting.
damm , i love Philosophical Meditation !
The quality of this spot relies entirely on the immense cuteness of the protagonist. As far as the content goes, stray far away from step 1,2, ..., 10 instructions about how to live your life.
One of the best things about the school of life is that they don't have background music in their videos. It is so good to listen to their soothing voice without the irritating music in the background.
Been spending the whole day just an anxious wreck, and this helped to calm me down a ton. So glad I stumbled onto this channel a week before :)
I for one, was able to enjoy her beauty, voice, and pay attention to what she was saying. Protip: pause the video if you need to have a moment to collect yourself, lol. Great video. I do this in my journal, but with less method. I just try to ask myself questions instinctively. However, these are great questions, I think I might try them.
This seemed like an ASMR video.
I'm having an asmr overload with this!
Anyone who liked her softly spoken voice - try searching for ASMR. It's incredibly relaxing. Particularly "inaudible whispering" is great to listen to while working/reading/going to sleep.
asmr.. the soft purring lisp is so soothing.
I know, right? She should do ASMR videos. She's already naturally relaxing.
The good Dr delivers again :) Folks below are understandably mesmerised.
That is a lovely speaking voice and a pleasure to listen too
How does one not fall in love with woman in video?
+Aeythvaenn I'm gay and I fell in love with her...and now I'm confused :/
;D
+Aeythvaenn That was so funny xD i imagined a southern accent, not sure why. It was creepy enough.
Shad Sylla You expected southern because of Forrest Gump.
+Preston Childers I didn't heard a word she said...
I've watched it hundreds of times and it always works great ❤❤thank you!!!❤
One of the best channels on UA-cam!
Very interesting and like Hannah said it's complementary to the traditional Eastern meditation (rather than a substitute)
Christ her voice is so calming, all my anxiety and inner turmoil was totally beaten into submission!! (well, for the duration of this video at least)
That hypnotic gaze!
I think working with your mind as in asking yourself question certainly has it's place but not as a substitute for meditation.
I've tried both for years with meditation being the far more effective one, simply investigating my beliefs didn't really bring peace, well, maybe a little bit was of peace was gained when I received insight.
I found that moving to stillness through meditation actually automatically brings up the beliefs that are out of balance with yourself.
please more of you, I could listen to you 24/7.
I think one crucial detail that was overlooked in the excitement phase, is that it doesn't matter how small something is, whether it be a sale coming up, good weather, clean sheets, any little thing should be appreciated for how it makes you feel. I think that this is especially helpful in ruts of hopelessness.
Best on UA-cam! Amazing channel highly recommend it to anyone at any age
She has the perfect ASMR voice.
We need more videos voiced by this girl. That soothing voice...
I *REALLY* appreciate the step by step explanations and way the info was told. It makes such a difference ^w^ .
Thank you for the video AND the worksheet! I'm going to have a look at them thoroughly! Thanks!
Her voice caused transcendence in me for 6 mins!
She is perfection. This video is perfection!
Fantastic video, and excellent accompanying written guide. I will be utilizing this advice as soon as I watch the video over a few more times just to make sure that I caught every lovely word.
what a lovely voice. I could listen to you all day
I had stumbled upon a half-baked version of such a philosophical meditation when analysing my anxieties initiated by an existential crisis the past 3 years. I had an understanding that some of my anxieties were silly, but I didn't know how to put it in perspective. Then upon understanding the ubiquitous nature of the scientific method in human interactions, I applied it to my anxieties to weed out the outlandish ones and put in perspective the realistic ones, with regards to likelihood and intensity.
What especially resonates with me is the preparing for the worst aspect, which was especially helpful in managing the anxiety I had during my finals examinations.
LuiKang043 Manage what you can control and except what you can't, this is the only way in life
Her voice.. so serene.. ;)
This woman’s voice a presence is angelic. I could meditate to her reading the phone book.
This was my favourite ASMR video before I even knew what ASMR was.
and that's how I get to know what autonomous sensory meridian response is! thanks.
Everytime I watch this video.., it just gets better
her voice is what love sounds like
That's a nice guide right there. And the woman's voice is awesome - making me I enter a state of meditation halfway through the video (I DID meditate 1 hour ago, though). :)
As someone who suffered from moderate-severe anxiety through my first 20 years of life (even as a kid, I lived constantly tense), which became a mild-moderate depression and moderate-severe apathy later on, I must say both Meditation and Philosophy were extremely effective for me - the things that are healing me.
The only problem now (in my actual 2nd week after I stopped feeling completely apathethic), is that whenever there's a situation in which I would be extremely anxious before, the anxiety only comes in a very small, quickly dismissable 'signal'.
It used to be crippling. Scaring. Terrifying. Now it's like an annoying "poke" which goes away if I want it to.
What's funny is that this makes me totally confused. I have no idea how to deal with that, given that I'm used to the "crippling fear" or "crippling tension". So I just stand there waiting for the monster to come, and it never comes.
One might say the freedom and maturity confuses me. Might take a bit more time until I get used to it.
I wonder if someone ever felt that. It's weird, haha
Thanks for another great video!
always coming back to this video, puts me to sleep at first listen almost every time
She is amazing!
I am excited 🖐️
Hello M'lady. *Tips Fedora*. If I dare say, the only meditation I need is your soothing voice and heavenly looks to appease my katana collection.
Sounds really interesting. I think I'm going to try it. Thanks for all of your interesting videos; they got me really interested in philosophy!
Listening to her discussing what Philosophical Meditation is and how to do it, is meditative in its own right.
You could easily make a nice ASMR....
+Don Cypriot Exactly what I thought
