Im not science minded and i still think meditation is terrible. The effect of meditation is marginal compared to the hassle you have to go through it should never have been included in the vedas..
@@eirikmurito Sounds like a personal problem with you and the type of meditation that you experienced. It seems the types you had experienced has not worked out for you so far making you frustrated :)
13:50 - 14:47: "For those of you that don't want to return to life after meditation, now you understand the point. So when you don't want to return, you should continue to practice. Go ahead and return. And then practice tomorrow. Practice the next day. And each time you'll return, each time it'll be a trauma. And practice and practice and practice. And then, one day something magical will happen. When you return to life, you'll bring the meditation with you. And then even though you're living life, you'll be in that space of meditation. And THAT is the foundation of enlightenment; to be in that space as you live life. You'll begin to realize that that's actually the most actual way to live life. You've forgotten how to do it. So return. And one day when you return, you're going to bring back a souvenir. And that's the day your life will change."
This was my first time meditating. After I came back, taking a few minutes to settle back into the world, I just started crying. I'm not 100% sure why. I wanted to say thank you because somehow I feel like I needed this and I want to make this part of my daily ritual and learn more about myself.
Dr k has really taught me some of the most important things I've learned in my entire life. I used to never be able to sleep well but now I recognize whenever anxious thoughts and feelings are coming and I'm able to just feel them all the way through. I almost never have trouble sleeping anymore and it's all thanks to his insights and meditations like this one ❤
💚Thank you Dr. Kanojia for giving me hope when I had none. I discovered you soon after creeping ADHD had fully consumed every aspect of my life, and with your help, for the first time in my life, I feel okay. You're the first professional I've seen that does not treat mental illness with disrespect. Your education of ADHD and compartmentalisation over these past few months have done for me what no one ever would. Treatment is different for everyone, but your unique approach to mental health has given me the tools to start discovering my traumas, and I've even nearly healed through one of them by myself. As I continue to look for a Doctor that cares half as much as you do to help me start healing, I'm always coming back to your videos to put everything into perspective. I have faith that one day I will fully reach the Self-Realisation my ADHD has been fighting against. Thank you. I don't know if I would be here to type this if it weren't for you. 💙
I've done this meditation/followed along 1-2x a day for the past few days. It's almost unbelievable how much you can learn about yourself by just breathing. I've found that my recent anxious thoughts are, in reality, my mind trying to point me toward congealed, unheard anxiety in the past, and it's now manifesting as worry about things I have no control over. Indeed, when "coming back" I've cried, every time. I hope to one day bring that tranquility back with me. Whoever you are, I hope you grow and learn today, and I wish you peace.
It is my third time doing this practice, and I finally understand what you meant by "every time it's gonna be a trauma". I cried the first time. I didn't know I needed it so badly. I was unsuccessful the second time. But today I felt tear coming up again. I didn't want to leave this space, I genuinely begged myself to stay a few more seconds. I understand that it is not possible, we cannot escape reality, but it is so tempting. I wish that someday I'll also be able to bring this space back with me into the world. As for now, I will content myself with it's remnence.
I’ve been doing this meditation for a while, but lately I’ve been incredibly, illogically anxious and fearful, particularly over my heart and being afraid of developing heart problems despite my young age and good health. I’ve been able to carry on for some time with the fear and it has genuinely ruined my life. I can’t eat like I used to for fear of raising my cholesterol and I can’t even sit outside without feeling like the next moment my heart could give out. I’ve lately been trying to change my attitude to one of acceptance to get through the anxiety and panic attacks, and it’s worked, but doing this meditation again just now made me feel something I couldn’t believe. Like I said, I’ve done this meditation so many times before, but this time, sitting there, completely calm and detached from my fears, I realized just how healthy and normal I am. This meditation detached me from that fear for a moment and it was like pulling the curtain back on the wizard, and I saw just how much these fears have played me for a fool and turned me into a neurotic geriatric. I just can’t begin to describe how unreal it felt to be snatched out of the pit of fear and constant vigilance, it’s like I could see my life for what it really is for the first time in so long. I’ve listened to this video so many times, and that includes his concluding words, but this time I truly understood what he meant. We really do forget how to live without these feelings inside us. I remember a time in my life where I could eat like complete shit and not even bat an eye, where I could run around and feel my heart beating and not worry about it, even times when I wouldn’t even think about there being a beating heart inside my body and just how important it is to keep it healthy. For this meditation session, I felt that again, I felt what it was like to be a normal human again. He’s also right that we don’t want to leave, but I’m determined to bring that souvenir back with me one day, I want to feel this calm all the time. I want to be able to have the mindset I did just now in the midst of that meditation, because it’s the truth, unsullied by these fears I’ve wrapped myself in. I usually dislike it when people go on long emotional rants in UA-cam comments, but I’m doing it here partially because I want to see this and remind myself of it every time I come here from now on, and maybe someone else will see it and feel the hope I feel right now. Thank you Dr. K, you may very well have changed my life, and maybe even saved it.
Your story really resonated for me. I feel really similar just that in my case I worry about my brain not functioning the right way so I am always vigilant and observe if how i think or what I see is not normal and then stressing about having a brain tumor. It is really exhausting living like this . This meditation helped but not as revolutionary as it did for you. Maybe I need to practice more. Would you mind telling me if it had lasting positive effects on you since I see your post is over a month old?
@@Amel-vp9he I continued to have the fear related to my heart failing for quite a while, but by now it has greatly diminished thanks to a mixture of therapy and being healthier like eating better and exercising, which in turn gives me confidence that my heart is kept strong. Doing this meditation daily didn’t give me a revolutionary feeling every single time, but it did help me pave the way to feeling more at peace in general. Now I’m able to go for walks and feel relatively peaceful, the way you feel when meditating. What really helped me was seeing medical records saying that I was healthy and that I didn’t have symptoms of this and that. If you can get those, maybe that could help ease your conscience, too.
@@scring713 Thanks a lot for answering! It helps so much seeing other people going through similar things. Makes me feel more normal and less alone. I wish you all the best
this was maybe the most beautiful meditation i’ve ever tried. and when he said “one day, you will return to life and bring the meditation with you”, that made me cry lol thank you dr. k ❤️
Every time I meditate, I am really uncomfortable at first. Like extremely uncomfortable. I can feel the soreness, the fatigue, the tension, the built-up emotions, the guilt, etc. At some point though, as I slowly start to surrender to the moment, I experience a liberating experience. I take a deep breath in, and I start shaking through the inhale as I get filled with a flow of emotions. And I cannot help tearing up. In the space afterward, that quiet space, I can't help but think "that's how it feels to be alive". I believe these are the only times where I truly sit with myself. Thank you for that. Much love!
Hi HG Team, just wanted to say thank you so much for these vids; especially these short meditations with a clear tutorial start/end--it's so much more accessible than trying to hunt down certain streams and skipping all over the place to find the meditation parts. Would love to see more of these shorter meditation-only clips on youtube!
If you're really inclined, Dr K. recently put out a course outlining basically all of his knowledge on depression, anxiety, and meditation in an online course. The whole thing is currently $50 (After the introductory price wears off it'll be $60) but the meditation course is just $20 if that's what you're interested in.
This is one of the few times when i felt an actual, STRONG change in my perception after doing a meditation. i recnognize the benefits meditation had on me in the long run, but i usually don't feel such an immediate benefic effect. This was absolutely bonkers, i'm bonked.
I love the chat. before he started the meditation everyone was talking about how it isn't real, isn't based in science etc. but once he finished teaching it everyone was talking about how great it was.
This is the first time I've ever tried meditation and it was really interesting. I tried actually chanting Rahm toward the end and that REALLY helped, definitely going to do this again tomorrow!
There's a big difference between knowing that and actually implementing that. If you've been carrying something around and had it fester for longer than your entire adult life, such distance is not easily created.
@@Drarack True, emotions created from early life experiences are hard to shake off permanently. But I found that meditating is a great way to temporarily free yourself from said emotions or thoughts. And even more than that, I found that there is a part of myself that isn’t my emotions or thoughts. It’s interesting, there’s something there that feels still, that never changes, that I can retreat to at any point I want to. Even if I am drunk as fuck or high off my ass, I’ve found that there’s something somewhere in my mind that I can retreat to that doesn’t seem to change no matter what State of altered consciousness I’m in. I don’t know if this is my true self or my observing self or something else, but I’ve Also noticed that it feels like either it’s looking at me or I’m looking at it. But anytime I recognize it or focus on it it is always the same. Peaceful, Unmoving. Behind thoughts, without emotion. For me, over time my chronic physical pain and painful emotions produce less suffering within me. Maybe also because I read some Greek philosophy and I can logically conclude that there’s no point in suffering over pain that you have no control over, but I think meditating also helped practically with that.
Everytime I open my eyes after this meditation, I cannot help but laugh like a child for several minutes...I don't why, but I can feel pure unconditional happiness. I am so so thankful to have found Dr.K and his teachings!! 😭❤️
Dr. K you have such a soothing and calming voice. And knowing that you are a good person who helps people enhances the effects of meditation. Thanks, and please do more meditation videos!
Great timing as always Dr. K, been having trouble meditating at all because a lot of undigested emotion bubbling up during that. This helped a lot, cheers!
I remember my dad having me meditate a few years back. Wasn't any specific kind of meditation, just laying down with deep breaths and body scanning and all that while some relaxing music plays. Even then, it's so unbelievably effective. You get up completely refreshed and you will just feel happier. Keep doing it, and it's as if you're just getting better and better.
I'm not feeling this overwhelming gutteral emotion that loads of other ppl in the comments are feeling ... but I do feel significantly different. I've had quite a bit of experience w mindfulness meditation before, but this practise (just doing it ONCE) has brought me so much clarity and presentness and ... I suppose calm and centredness would be the right way of putting this. My friend recommended me this channel and I always meant to get around to watching a vid and holy shit am I glad I did. Thank you, friend. Thank you, Dr K.
I honestly forgot that my lungs don't work properly anymore, until I noticed that my breaths were so much shorter than Dr. K's. Very nice meditation, I'll add this to my daily routine.
This is the first time I've practised guided meditation, always attempted on my own - but needless to say; It works so much deeper when practising with others. Thank you Dr. K, your channel is a godsend for gamers.
when i returned, it was right before he said to give thanks - i just felt it was time and i didn't really want to return; when i went back to give thanks, i even did a rum and i didn't notice a change in state. it felt like the barrier that separates the state of meditation wasnt there re-opening my eyes, i found myself just staring; so content and so at peace. my jaw opened from my muscles being so relaxed and through the silence of the trance - the vibrations of his words shook my mind as i heard them describe that one day you will bring it with you, and that you will be in that space while you live life. i didnt have to blink the entire time from the tears
Would love some more of these types of things. Really been enjoying this channel recently. Been getting into yoga classes at my gym and looking to start therapy soon and this channel has been helpful for me. I've found help in working through things myself and also developing more interest in meditation and ayurveda and those sorts of things. Feels sort of like those are the things I need in my life at the moment and this channel is providing that.
i really needed this, thank you dr. k. afterwards i started tearing up a bit but then crying got harder as dr. k began speaking. i wish one day to get that souvenir. also the first time i said "ram" in my head i saw white sparkles fly. and the same ones at the very end. don't know what that means, but it feels like this meditation practice is right for me. thank you, once again
The first time I tried this meditation I really felt the freeing from emotion. It felt liberating. I've done it 2 more times since then, but haven't really achieved state of mind again. Gonna keep going though. Really relaxing every time I did it. Thanks Dr. K.
How's it going for you? Glad to see you noticed the fruits that fall when you try meditation for the first few times. Believe me, its gonna be a gift that keeps on giving the more you practice it
This man is legit. I'm not sure how long I have been meditating, or how long since I've discovered Dr.K, but I have brought back a souvenir indeed, and my life has indeed change.
I give thanks to you also Dr. K. Thank you for this meditation. I have listened to a lot of guided meditations and it's cool to pick up little tricks to help me "mediate better" so to speak lol. I liked following the cold air and the raaaaaaaammmmm. I too didn't want to return at the end but I do plan to return to this meditation. Namaste.
been waiting for this one ever since you mentioned there was a meditation practice specifically for digesting emotion. didn't disappoint, especially how you concluded the video with the statement of "this is how you can live through life all the time". what a lovely idea. i will try
This is the first time i've actually made the attempt to try meditating along with Dr.K. I still feel i goofed a lot since i wasn't really able to follow the practice to a T and could still feel a lot of what's weighing on my mind not just today or always, but now that i know that feeling of "not wanting to come back" is proof you did it right, i guess i did learn something. I also learned i like listening to the chant way more than repeating it. The state of detachment also feels really nice. I guess even if i did it wrong. i feel like i learned some things about myself midpractice. Which is kinda of funny that you can learn something about you by detaching yourself from...yourself. Thanks, Doc.
I have been doing some of the meditations on the playlist the past couple of days, and this one really made me feel in a diferent state of mind. Don't know if is this specific method that worked the best, or I am just starting to see the effects of doing it daily, but I will try to keep it going as long as I can. Thank you Doc!
There will always be a chance to live a positive change, best of luck to you! You got this even though I imagine it will feel difficult right now, we trust you
in a strange way i can't really explain, after finishing this meditation i felt that i could finally accept that I'm in a low mood, whereas before i was uncomfortable that i was sad and was desperately trying to stop feeling sad (by trying to figure out WHY i was sad, what I could do about it, etc), which only made me worry more. thank you dr k. i was still sad after the meditation, but now i can sit with the emotion instead of scrambling to get rid of it.
It's been a few hours since i did this meditation and I'm amazed by how calm i am now - before, i was sobbing uncontrollably. This has really opened my eyes to the power of meditation, i will be doing it more often
Before watching the whole video I made the mistake of reading the comments about crying and feeling bad and was afraid of doing this, but after I followed the whole video my fears were dispelled. I need to practice the breathing and imagining my breath more though
Dr. K you are a true Karma Yogi. An inspiration. Thank you for your work, it is beyond helpful. You are a beautiful being. “Strive constantly to serve the welfare of the world; by devotion to selfless work one attains the supreme goal of life. Do your work with the welfare of others always in mind. It was by such work that Janaka attained perfection; others too have followed this path. What the outstanding person does, others will try to do. The standards such people create will be followed by the whole world.” - the Gita
Thank you. In anxiety I opened my phone looking for something to ease me to sleep and this was just what I needed, the tears are proof. Thank you Dr K, time and time again you've improved my life and teached me how to deal with myself
Video Summary: The video introduces Manipura Mantra meditation, focusing on emotional and digestive processing through the navel chakra. The technique involves three phases: Navel Breathing: Sit straight, close your eyes, and take deep breaths, expanding and contracting the abdomen. Breath Visualization: Imagine the breath traveling from the nose to the navel and feel the warmth leaving during exhalation. Mantra Chanting: As you exhale, mentally or audibly chant "ram" to enhance focus and emotional release. The meditation aims to help digest emotions, freeing one from being emotionally hostage. Participants are encouraged to practice daily, gradually extending the duration. The ultimate goal is to integrate the meditative state into daily life, leading to a more natural and enlightened way of living.
Man this actually worked! Damn, as someone who's been trying meditation for a while this is actually the first time I felt like smiling like an idiot doing it! Felt so light and alive, this shit is fire!
I just found these after watching you for so long. I've been meditating on my own for over a decade now but i've fallen out of practice. Im so glad i went looking. I missed this feeling.
I really felt detached and alone. But I was pretty cool with that. Damn, the constant feeling of "something" in my chest was completely removed. Sort of like my usual self died. I felt like I was in a liminal space.
Hey, I've been doing this thing for two years now, it works incredibly well for anxity, I have anxiety disorder and am completely symptom free and sleep like a baby now. I think its because vibrations in the throat and belly combinend with long exhales activate vagus nerve really well. Parasympathetic nervous system activates, no more fight or flight mode, big chillin.
8:49 Man, when I heard the sound in the background, I thought I was hearing that in my head, and it scared the shit out of me, lol. This is the best meditation I have ever had hands down, and I hope it is the first of many others
The end was one the most traumatic thing that i experienced, i started to cry like i have just lost my mom, it felted that way because i didn't wanted to return from that safe space. This was powerful, thanks
thank you. timing plus who you are as a person/doctor has been helping me, and as i am trying to move forward in life i feel about as bad as i ever have. idk how to turn the negatives in my head to positives consistently and i think i needed just this to help me cope. i cried a bit during the thanking part. that effect will probably be larger as i go back to work and try to be more self reliant.
I can't get past a few breaths, I end up breaking down in tears, feeling so much emotional pain that I physically feel like contracting my body and curling up. ☹️ Edit: So I used a meditation music video and followed through the steps. I'm feeling a lot better now. There is a sense of clarity and I can now start to accept the experiences that have left me with negtive emotions.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t try it for too long before giving up, I pretty much gave up after a minute of the naval breathing exercise because I couldn’t visualize the breath going in and out, I couldn’t get to a state where my body would stop twitching a moving and I couldn’t focus even though my mind was empty. I did another meditation last night when watching another video of his that was focusing on being completely still and “noticing signals your body will send you” like itches on your skin, maybe you’re hungry, etc. That for whatever reason got me to the state he describes where you are conscious, but not thinking… or something. Felt like a switch at some point a short few minutes into it where I just felt mental clarity, it became easy and peaceful to just sit there in complete silence and my mind was calm, my body/limbs felt heavier, my heart was beating harder but not faster, much steadier, etc. It was a good feeling! So my question is, even though I’ll have to practice this specific meditation more for sure just to see, do each of these meditations he’s taught have different purposes or are they all for the same end goal of getting to that kind state. Does it matter what I choose? Maybe I need to watch his video on what meditation is even for in the first place and how it can benefit me
I have never practiced Dr.K's version of meditation, but I do have 2 years of personal experience in other types of meditation. It is common for meditators to say different meditations have different purposes. Some may be specifically for improving concentration, some meditations may be to increase our love for self and others, and other meditations may be for enlightenment/being in the present moment/changing our relationship to experience and ways we perceive our experiences. Tldr; I think the different meditations on this channel do serve different purposes. Feel free to write a reply if you have any more questions.
Thank you Dr. K i can see that this meditation is working. The Flow of Emotions flows way better while and after the practice ❤ Tears came from me and I don't know why but I feel better ❤
I was living life like that as a child. I lost it in puberty and 5 years ago I set myself on a road to find it again. Thanks, dr K for showing me how to get back to normal
What about those of us who are not stuck, we just don't have anywhere to go? Like being on a massive flat field, you can go where you want, there's just no reason to.
i listened and followed along in the front seat of my car in the rain. its night time and im hiding from loads of feelings that ive been quelling through various means and i do feel supremely thankful that the universe presented me this opportunity. ps. my cars stereo auto shuts off after a certain amount of time and it cut off right after the words, “its time to go back to your real life”
So legit this helped so much. I noticed when I first started my head was like vibrating. But by the end I was completely still. And felt like my field of vision was wider.
This is making me laugh in very good way. I could see a part of me that was listening and got a kind of a perspective of all part of me that wants to listen and is thinking about it all. Your straight to the point voice tonality were very good for where I was.
Finished this meditation and felt a ball of tightness around my throat when I was done. When I tried to release the tension I gagged. Went to the toilet and I gagged a few more times but didn't actually puke. It felt like there was a strong emotion that was trying to spill out of my throat when I was finished with the emotion.
well I watched the first half and had a feeling I will need to watch this after I get home and while I was away from home my grandfather passed and I think this is a good time for the video
I've been doing this practice few times and noticed interesting side effect: during meditation I feel like my feet warm up, this feeling appears in my first and spread all over my feet. Unusual feeling After practice, I feel calm and a little joy) Thank you Dr. K🌺
There is a counter point to this, its that instead of pushing away the things, learn to accept them. cause if not then the problem comes right back after meditation
in the space at the end, I was free of emotions - then once i realised I was free of them, I became full of a mix of grief, relief, and something else, and began to weep lmao 10/10
I didnt want to return. It was weird effing feeling where my mind was calm, literally calm, while my body was anxious. But this is the first time i remember my mind not being anxious.
"Notice how distant your anxiety, your fear, even your joy, your pride--they are all distant now..."
*me, sobbing uncontrollably
I cried the first few times i did meditation, now I understand the part of not wanting to come back, hopefully someday I'll learn to take the meditation with me
Yeah. I feel silly that I'm sad and sorry for myself right now. It is quite the unusual feeling. Ever more so to cry for myself.
Same!
Happens to me too, crying never felt so naturally like i dont think i was sad (maybe) but i just felt the tears running down my face like that, i goddamn love dr. k and how he can make a loner like me feel
It's amazing how you realize how much of your emotions have been numbed by doing this because it lets it all out.
As a science minded person who also sees a lot of value in things that aren't necessarily backed by scientific evidence, I appreciate you mentioning that this method isn't necessarily scientific but can also be helpful.

This meditation detached me from that fear for a moment and it was like pulling the curtain back on the wizard, and I saw just how much these fears have played me for a fool and turned me into a neurotic geriatric. I just can’t begin to describe how unreal it felt to be snatched out of the pit of fear and constant vigilance, it’s like I could see my life for what it really is for the first time in so long. I’ve listened to this video so many times, and that includes his concluding words, but this time I truly understood what he meant. We really do forget how to live without these feelings inside us. I remember a time in my life where I could eat like complete shit and not even bat an eye, where I could run around and feel my heart beating and not worry about it, even times when I wouldn’t even think about there being a beating heart inside my body and just how important it is to keep it healthy. For this meditation session, I felt that again, I felt what it was like to be a normal human again. He’s also right that we don’t want to leave, but I’m determined to bring that souvenir back with me one day, I want to feel this calm all the time. I want to be able to have the mindset I did just now in the midst of that meditation, because it’s the truth, unsullied by these fears I’ve wrapped myself in.
I usually dislike it when people go on long emotional rants in UA-cam comments, but I’m doing it here partially because I want to see this and remind myself of it every time I come here from now on, and maybe someone else will see it and feel the hope I feel right now. Thank you Dr. K, you may very well have changed my life, and maybe even saved it.
Your story really resonated for me. I feel really similar just that in my case I worry about my brain not functioning the right way so I am always vigilant and observe if how i think or what I see is not normal and then stressing about having a brain tumor. It is really exhausting living like this . This meditation helped but not as revolutionary as it did for you. Maybe I need to practice more. Would you mind telling me if it had lasting positive effects on you since I see your post is over a month old?
@@Amel-vp9he I continued to have the fear related to my heart failing for quite a while, but by now it has greatly diminished thanks to a mixture of therapy and being healthier like eating better and exercising, which in turn gives me confidence that my heart is kept strong. Doing this meditation daily didn’t give me a revolutionary feeling every single time, but it did help me pave the way to feeling more at peace in general. Now I’m able to go for walks and feel relatively peaceful, the way you feel when meditating.
What really helped me was seeing medical records saying that I was healthy and that I didn’t have symptoms of this and that. If you can get those, maybe that could help ease your conscience, too.
@@scring713 Thanks a lot for answering! It helps so much seeing other people going through similar things. Makes me feel more normal and less alone. I wish you all the best
@@Amel-vp9he Thank you, I hope you can get your problems solved as well.
this was maybe the most beautiful meditation i’ve ever tried. and when he said “one day, you will return to life and bring the meditation with you”, that made me cry lol thank you dr. k ❤️
Every time I meditate, I am really uncomfortable at first. Like extremely uncomfortable. I can feel the soreness, the fatigue, the tension, the built-up emotions, the guilt, etc. At some point though, as I slowly start to surrender to the moment, I experience a liberating experience. I take a deep breath in, and I start shaking through the inhale as I get filled with a flow of emotions. And I cannot help tearing up. In the space afterward, that quiet space, I can't help but think "that's how it feels to be alive". I believe these are the only times where I truly sit with myself. Thank you for that. Much love!
Hi HG Team, just wanted to say thank you so much for these vids; especially these short meditations with a clear tutorial start/end--it's so much more accessible than trying to hunt down certain streams and skipping all over the place to find the meditation parts. Would love to see more of these shorter meditation-only clips on youtube!
fully agreed!!
I agree aswell
If you're really inclined, Dr K. recently put out a course outlining basically all of his knowledge on depression, anxiety, and meditation in an online course. The whole thing is currently $50 (After the introductory price wears off it'll be $60) but the meditation course is just $20 if that's what you're interested in.
"recognise it's time to return back to your regular life"
Yeah, no. I'm comfy here. :D
I'm very glad Dr. K addressed exactly that at the end.
Time to become a monk, buddy
I felt exactly the same way :D
This is one of the few times when i felt an actual, STRONG change in my perception after doing a meditation. i recnognize the benefits meditation had on me in the long run, but i usually don't feel such an immediate benefic effect. This was absolutely bonkers, i'm bonked.
How's it going? Still weekly bonking?
This made me realize that I don't need drugs to feel relaxed.
This meditation is helping me a lot thank you for sharing it with us.
I have been missing this Dr.K!
More meditation together with chat and UA-cam!
Many hugs
*Raaaaaaaaammmmm*
I love the chat. before he started the meditation everyone was talking about how it isn't real, isn't based in science etc. but once he finished teaching it everyone was talking about how great it was.
This is the first time I've ever tried meditation and it was really interesting. I tried actually chanting Rahm toward the end and that REALLY helped, definitely going to do this again tomorrow!
Why am I crying? This channel is helping me learn about myself and others. Thank you so much!
All it _really_ takes i that little bit of distance between thoughts, emotions and "me" - difference like day and night
There's a big difference between knowing that and actually implementing that. If you've been carrying something around and had it fester for longer than your entire adult life, such distance is not easily created.
@@Drarack It is not easy at all - I don't claim that! But the difficult is preferable to the impossible
@@Drarack True, emotions created from early life experiences are hard to shake off permanently. But I found that meditating is a great way to temporarily free yourself from said emotions or thoughts. And even more than that, I found that there is a part of myself that isn’t my emotions or thoughts. It’s interesting, there’s something there that feels still, that never changes, that I can retreat to at any point I want to. Even if I am drunk as fuck or high off my ass, I’ve found that there’s something somewhere in my mind that I can retreat to that doesn’t seem to change no matter what State of altered consciousness I’m in. I don’t know if this is my true self or my observing self or something else, but I’ve Also noticed that it feels like either it’s looking at me or I’m looking at it. But anytime I recognize it or focus on it it is always the same. Peaceful, Unmoving. Behind thoughts, without emotion. For me, over time my chronic physical pain and painful emotions produce less suffering within me. Maybe also because I read some Greek philosophy and I can logically conclude that there’s no point in suffering over pain that you have no control over, but I think meditating also helped practically with that.
@@newuser689 great, now I have this thing in my head too. Thanks a lot.
I literally happy cried when I came out of this meditation, it's freaky how well meditation actually works!
Same!
Everytime I open my eyes after this meditation, I cannot help but laugh like a child for several minutes...I don't why, but I can feel pure unconditional happiness.
I am so so thankful to have found Dr.K and his teachings!! 😭❤️
That was powerful. Literally what I said what I said was "I don't want to go back". In a way I felt like he was saying it to me. Thank you, Dr. K.
Dr. K you have such a soothing and calming voice. And knowing that you are a good person who helps people enhances the effects of meditation. Thanks, and please do more meditation videos!
Great timing as always Dr. K, been having trouble meditating at all because a lot of undigested emotion bubbling up during that. This helped a lot, cheers!
This session just came into my life at the moment I needed it most.
Thank you for teaching us how to feel peace again.
I remember my dad having me meditate a few years back. Wasn't any specific kind of meditation, just laying down with deep breaths and body scanning and all that while some relaxing music plays.
Even then, it's so unbelievably effective. You get up completely refreshed and you will just feel happier. Keep doing it, and it's as if you're just getting better and better.
I'm not feeling this overwhelming gutteral emotion that loads of other ppl in the comments are feeling ... but I do feel significantly different.
I've had quite a bit of experience w mindfulness meditation before, but this practise (just doing it ONCE) has brought me so much clarity and presentness and ... I suppose calm and centredness would be the right way of putting this.
My friend recommended me this channel and I always meant to get around to watching a vid and holy shit am I glad I did.
Thank you, friend. Thank you, Dr K.
I honestly forgot that my lungs don't work properly anymore, until I noticed that my breaths were so much shorter than Dr. K's.
Very nice meditation, I'll add this to my daily routine.
Still doing it?
@@halcyon-cg2eb yes, every day☺️
@@RenneVangr That is impressive, good for you! Hi from Canada ; )
This is the first time I've practised guided meditation, always attempted on my own - but needless to say; It works so much deeper when practising with others. Thank you Dr. K, your channel is a godsend for gamers.
when i returned, it was right before he said to give thanks - i just felt it was time and i didn't really want to return; when i went back to give thanks, i even did a rum and i didn't notice a change in state. it felt like the barrier that separates the state of meditation wasnt there
re-opening my eyes, i found myself just staring; so content and so at peace.
my jaw opened from my muscles being so relaxed and through the silence of the trance - the vibrations of his words shook my mind as i heard them describe that one day you will bring it with you, and that you will be in that space while you live life. i didnt have to blink the entire time from the tears
Would love some more of these types of things. Really been enjoying this channel recently. Been getting into yoga classes at my gym and looking to start therapy soon and this channel has been helpful for me. I've found help in working through things myself and also developing more interest in meditation and ayurveda and those sorts of things. Feels sort of like those are the things I need in my life at the moment and this channel is providing that.
i really needed this, thank you dr. k. afterwards i started tearing up a bit but then crying got harder as dr. k began speaking. i wish one day to get that souvenir.
also the first time i said "ram" in my head i saw white sparkles fly. and the same ones at the very end. don't know what that means, but it feels like this meditation practice is right for me. thank you, once again
The first time I tried this meditation I really felt the freeing from emotion. It felt liberating. I've done it 2 more times since then, but haven't really achieved state of mind again. Gonna keep going though. Really relaxing every time I did it. Thanks Dr. K.
How's it going for you? Glad to see you noticed the fruits that fall when you try meditation for the first few times. Believe me, its gonna be a gift that keeps on giving the more you practice it
This man is legit. I'm not sure how long I have been meditating, or how long since I've discovered Dr.K, but I have brought back a souvenir indeed, and my life has indeed change.
I give thanks to you also Dr. K. Thank you for this meditation. I have listened to a lot of guided meditations and it's cool to pick up little tricks to help me "mediate better" so to speak lol. I liked following the cold air and the raaaaaaaammmmm. I too didn't want to return at the end but I do plan to return to this meditation. Namaste.
been waiting for this one ever since you mentioned there was a meditation practice specifically for digesting emotion. didn't disappoint, especially how you concluded the video with the statement of "this is how you can live through life all the time". what a lovely idea. i will try
This is the first time i've actually made the attempt to try meditating along with Dr.K. I still feel i goofed a lot since i wasn't really able to follow the practice to a T and could still feel a lot of what's weighing on my mind not just today or always, but now that i know that feeling of "not wanting to come back" is proof you did it right, i guess i did learn something. I also learned i like listening to the chant way more than repeating it. The state of detachment also feels really nice.
I guess even if i did it wrong. i feel like i learned some things about myself midpractice. Which is kinda of funny that you can learn something about you by detaching yourself from...yourself. Thanks, Doc.
I have been doing some of the meditations on the playlist the past couple of days, and this one really made me feel in a diferent state of mind. Don't know if is this specific method that worked the best, or I am just starting to see the effects of doing it daily, but I will try to keep it going as long as I can. Thank you Doc!
good god, uploaded at the just when i lost my career. thank you dr K
There will always be a chance to live a positive change, best of luck to you! You got this even though I imagine it will feel difficult right now, we trust you
@@alanbasoria5265 thanks man!
Same here man. I just resigned because I got extremely anxious after working for 3 years with the company. I wish the best for both of us!
@@zoinksscoob6523 No problem! Hope you are doing a bit better right now! If not, little by little change happens
in a strange way i can't really explain, after finishing this meditation i felt that i could finally accept that I'm in a low mood, whereas before i was uncomfortable that i was sad and was desperately trying to stop feeling sad (by trying to figure out WHY i was sad, what I could do about it, etc), which only made me worry more. thank you dr k. i was still sad after the meditation, but now i can sit with the emotion instead of scrambling to get rid of it.
It's been a few hours since i did this meditation and I'm amazed by how calm i am now - before, i was sobbing uncontrollably. This has really opened my eyes to the power of meditation, i will be doing it more often
Before watching the whole video I made the mistake of reading the comments about crying and feeling bad and was afraid of doing this, but after I followed the whole video my fears were dispelled. I need to practice the breathing and imagining my breath more though
My girlfriend has abandoned me, and I really loved her - this practice had me in tears. Thank you, Dr. K
Bro......
Thank you
Thank yourself for seeking a video like this you love yourself enough to try to improve that's a huge step
My new favorite guided meditation. I do this everyday. Thank you Dr. K.
i'm literally crying from joy!! this helped so much. it's like the universe knew i needed this video and dr k's help.
Dr. K you are a true Karma Yogi. An inspiration. Thank you for your work, it is beyond helpful. You are a beautiful being.
“Strive constantly to serve the welfare of the world; by devotion to selfless work one attains the supreme goal of life. Do your work with the welfare of others always in mind. It was by such work that Janaka attained perfection; others too have followed this path.
What the outstanding person does, others will try to do. The standards such people create will be followed by the whole world.” - the Gita
Thank you. In anxiety I opened my phone looking for something to ease me to sleep and this was just what I needed, the tears are proof. Thank you Dr K, time and time again you've improved my life and teached me how to deal with myself
Video Summary:
The video introduces Manipura Mantra meditation, focusing on emotional and digestive processing through the navel chakra. The technique involves three phases:
Navel Breathing: Sit straight, close your eyes, and take deep breaths, expanding and contracting the abdomen.
Breath Visualization: Imagine the breath traveling from the nose to the navel and feel the warmth leaving during exhalation.
Mantra Chanting: As you exhale, mentally or audibly chant "ram" to enhance focus and emotional release.
The meditation aims to help digest emotions, freeing one from being emotionally hostage. Participants are encouraged to practice daily, gradually extending the duration. The ultimate goal is to integrate the meditative state into daily life, leading to a more natural and enlightened way of living.
Man this actually worked! Damn, as someone who's been trying meditation for a while this is actually the first time I felt like smiling like an idiot doing it! Felt so light and alive, this shit is fire!
I just found these after watching you for so long. I've been meditating on my own for over a decade now but i've fallen out of practice. Im so glad i went looking. I missed this feeling.
I find myself coming back again and again when I think I need to. Dr.K you are so helpful thank you!
I really felt detached and alone. But I was pretty cool with that. Damn, the constant feeling of "something" in my chest was completely removed. Sort of like my usual self died. I felt like I was in a liminal space.
Bro i came out of it smiling. This is so amazing
Please do more meditation videos!
Hey, I've been doing this thing for two years now, it works incredibly well for anxity, I have anxiety disorder and am completely symptom free and sleep like a baby now.
I think its because vibrations in the throat and belly combinend with long exhales activate vagus nerve really well. Parasympathetic nervous system activates, no more fight or flight mode, big chillin.
8:49 Man, when I heard the sound in the background, I thought I was hearing that in my head, and it scared the shit out of me, lol. This is the best meditation I have ever had hands down, and I hope it is the first of many others
During this meditation it felt like I was floating in a dark room/void but I was still in control of my body and I was relaxed. It was very pleasant.
Feeling pain. I understand how bad it gets. I hope the best for everyone reading this. Truly
1. spell ram inside the brain
2. cool breath when inhaling, ram when exhaling
3. start chanting the ram
I just started watching your videos today and I really appreciate them. Thank you!
The end was one the most traumatic thing that i experienced, i started to cry like i have just lost my mom, it felted that way because i didn't wanted to return from that safe space. This was powerful, thanks
thank you. timing plus who you are as a person/doctor has been helping me, and as i am trying to move forward in life i feel about as bad as i ever have. idk how to turn the negatives in my head to positives consistently and i think i needed just this to help me cope. i cried a bit during the thanking part. that effect will probably be larger as i go back to work and try to be more self reliant.
*"Meditation is the key to unlocking your full potential."* - Wayne Dyer
I can't get past a few breaths, I end up breaking down in tears, feeling so much emotional pain that I physically feel like contracting my body and curling up. ☹️
Edit: So I used a meditation music video and followed through the steps. I'm feeling a lot better now. There is a sense of clarity and I can now start to accept the experiences that have left me with negtive emotions.
this was such a beautiful video, thank u for this
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t try it for too long before giving up, I pretty much gave up after a minute of the naval breathing exercise because I couldn’t visualize the breath going in and out, I couldn’t get to a state where my body would stop twitching a moving and I couldn’t focus even though my mind was empty. I did another meditation last night when watching another video of his that was focusing on being completely still and “noticing signals your body will send you” like itches on your skin, maybe you’re hungry, etc. That for whatever reason got me to the state he describes where you are conscious, but not thinking… or something. Felt like a switch at some point a short few minutes into it where I just felt mental clarity, it became easy and peaceful to just sit there in complete silence and my mind was calm, my body/limbs felt heavier, my heart was beating harder but not faster, much steadier, etc. It was a good feeling!
So my question is, even though I’ll have to practice this specific meditation more for sure just to see, do each of these meditations he’s taught have different purposes or are they all for the same end goal of getting to that kind state. Does it matter what I choose?
Maybe I need to watch his video on what meditation is even for in the first place and how it can benefit me
I have never practiced Dr.K's version of meditation, but I do have 2 years of personal experience in other types of meditation.
It is common for meditators to say different meditations have different purposes. Some may be specifically for improving concentration, some meditations may be to increase our love for self and others, and other meditations may be for enlightenment/being in the present moment/changing our relationship to experience and ways we perceive our experiences.
Tldr; I think the different meditations on this channel do serve different purposes. Feel free to write a reply if you have any more questions.
Thank you. This made me feel so much better. I feel relaxed and like I can accept life in the moment, as whatever
this was very amazing I hope you upload more guided meditation from the streams, this was very educational
Thank you Dr. K i can see that this meditation is working. The Flow of Emotions flows way better while and after the practice ❤
Tears came from me and I don't know why but I feel better ❤
I practice TM and found this meditation helpful, thank you!
Wow.... That was really really calming like nothing I've ever done
I was living life like that as a child. I lost it in puberty and 5 years ago I set myself on a road to find it again. Thanks, dr K for showing me how to get back to normal
What about those of us who are not stuck, we just don't have anywhere to go? Like being on a massive flat field, you can go where you want, there's just no reason to.
Choose whatever direction and go. Something will appear soon or later, just listen to your intuition.
i listened and followed along in the front seat of my car in the rain. its night time and im hiding from loads of feelings that ive been quelling through various means and i do feel supremely thankful that the universe presented me this opportunity.
ps. my cars stereo auto shuts off after a certain amount of time and it cut off right after the words, “its time to go back to your real life”
So legit this helped so much. I noticed when I first started my head was like vibrating. But by the end I was completely still. And felt like my field of vision was wider.
This is making me laugh in very good way. I could see a part of me that was listening and got a kind of a perspective of all part of me that wants to listen and is thinking about it all. Your straight to the point voice tonality were very good for where I was.
Finished this meditation and felt a ball of tightness around my throat when I was done. When I tried to release the tension I gagged. Went to the toilet and I gagged a few more times but didn't actually puke. It felt like there was a strong emotion that was trying to spill out of my throat when I was finished with the emotion.
Bringing the meditation into life, man. That was powerful
Thank you so much for this mediation I appreciate you and the universe for giving me this opportunity.
Thank you DR K ❤️
Cant believe how at peace this makes me feel everytime i do it. Thank you Dr.
well I watched the first half and had a feeling I will need to watch this after I get home and while I was away from home my grandfather passed and I think this is a good time for the video
i've cried tears of joy after this meditation
I've been doing this practice few times and noticed interesting side effect: during meditation I feel like my feet warm up, this feeling appears in my first and spread all over my feet. Unusual feeling
After practice, I feel calm and a little joy)
Thank you Dr. K🌺
Thank you Dr. K. This session made me feel so much better
i can never meditate for longer than 5 minutes but this managed to get me. i didnt notice tears in my eyes before I opened them 😞
and i didnt want to come back :/
There is a counter point to this, its that instead of pushing away the things, learn to accept them. cause if not then the problem comes right back after meditation
Thank you for this video. I’ve been using this to follow along for the past three days.
This was such perfect timing for me today.
in the space at the end, I was free of emotions - then once i realised I was free of them, I became full of a mix of grief, relief, and something else, and began to weep lmao 10/10
Thank you Dr K. Will for sure use this meditation method again. I indeed hope to bring back that spark you mentioned at the end, IRL.
Left this with a warm body feeling 🙂
I started sobbing uncontrollably 😭thank u Dr. K
This really helped me, thank you.
3:12 meditation starts
4:26 for no explanation
Thanks
thank you so much , for some reason i started smiling and laughin and felt pretty good
I didnt want to return. It was weird effing feeling where my mind was calm, literally calm, while my body was anxious. But this is the first time i remember my mind not being anxious.
