I actually kind of enjoyed the silent learning this week. Hope you feel better soon. A couple of months ago I went on a hiking trip up in the mountains. I did a trail that went through a canyon. Inside the canyon was the most quiet environment I've ever been in. It was so creepy quiet, the walls of the canyon blocked everything out, including the wind. I realized that I was literally the only sound that was present. I stopped and just sat on a rock for about 30 minutes trying to make my body as quiet as I could. I don't think I have ever experienced that degree of quiet before. It was a very trippy experience; my perceptions of the senses started to get really distorted, not at all unlike what happens in Kriya.
I've heard this internal sound several times and in my consciousness traced it back until I eventually wound up in a field of pure white light. The light was in all directions and my "vision" or awareness was in all directions a well. There was in fact no source of vision I simply was a field of white light, until I began to subtly be aware of the physical body again. Then I became aware I was laying on my side the light faded and I came back into the room so to speak. This happened to me 35 years ago and it happened to me about 15 times in one evening. I've been seeking an understanding to what it really was and what benefit it might be for me? But no answers have been forthcoming nor can I repeat the experience despite numerous meditations breathing techniques etc etc. It seems like a huge tease that just kind of burned up my hope of life and made me bitter and resentful that I cannot get back to that same space. Unfortunate but true, thought I would share...
Beautiful! That was a wonderfully deep non-dual experience, or samadhi. You temporarily became free of the grip of the left brain and United with the right brain perspective. This is what I teach my students to do. But the full road can be a little long, though I make it as easy and short as possible. It is very common for a yogi to become frustrated, because what he is trying to accomplish is so huge. It is quite literally a Herculean task.
Get well very soon Forrestji. Thank you for keeping us motivated to enjoy our universe. By the way I have the impression I was listening you in my mind when reading 😎🗣️
Briefly, last week during deep-breathing meditation, suddenly, for about five to seven seconds, I heard a very deep, very soft, and resonant, "Whuump, Whuump" sound. It wasn't my heart. I know what my heart sounds like. It was more like it was coming from deep inside my head. I had never heard it before. I haven't heard it since.
Don't know for sure if it will help, but try inhaling tea tree essential oil vapours by placing a few drops in warm water in a bowl. I have faith in its antiviral properties. Just thought that since you share so much freely with us I can also try and return the favour.
@@ForrestKnutson my favorite is actually rosemary oil which might also help and finally gargling with colloidal silver. These three go with me wherever I go 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you FK for this video as it is good to be reminded of the fundamentals. It was explained clearly and can have meaning to a beginner or more advanced meditator. As always, well done. Doug Gemmell in LV
Thank you for this unique video and get well soon! A quote from a buddhist teacher: the language of God is silence... everything else is just a bad translation ;)
There was a lot in this silent video, will be looking at this again and again. Will add this to my training, only with silence to try to experience what you described. It's rather comforting to know that the whole universe surrenders when we still our minds. That's motivating me. Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts for your recovery! Rest and enjoy the weekend. Thank you again and again!
i actually watched a video you did perhaps a year ago about this last night - - -and was telling my husband about it because i seem to hear more than most people - and i often don't think they believe me. . .and then i check in and here you are with this. I love that you did it with out sound. for some reason it seemed even 'quieter' than if i had just not turned on the volume - interesting that . . . i wonder if it's because i knew in advance??? i also felt very calmed while watching. Nice. Thankyou.
How cool is that! I love that synchronicity! It's very likely that you are hearing these sounds as Yogi's often confirm them to me. And it's very common that nobody believes or understands the yogi. You're in fantastic company!
Pranam Guruji & all. May you recover as quick as popping of seseme seeds on hot oil. The video was very good as always , the peace of silence of the video prevail with in us . Now I remember why ramana marshi never spoke a word in his Satsang and always said everything is in silence . AUM and Aswatha Vruksha (sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa)) Stotram now make sense and it goes like this. Moolatho Brahma roopaya, madhyatho Vishnu roopine, Agratha Shiva roopaya Vruksha rajaya they nama., My salutations to the king of trees(Encrypted meaning). Whose root is the form of Brahma, Middle is the form of Lord Vishnu, And top is the form of Lord Shiva..
Great video, Forrest! At first I thought you were pulling a Forrest (:P), but then it all became clear. It felt like a meditation. Blessings and blissings!
Wow that chamber sounds super cool. I want one!... In another related note, last night I had another dream where I was sitting in a room, putting some drops of unknown substance beneath my eyes, with other people, and i was the only one who became intoxicated. They thought I was drunk because I could hardly walk. I couldn't hear anything but the sounds you speak of here, I'm not sure how deep they were. I could also feel enormous bliss in my head and my body felt more like a shell. I could hardly walk without falling over and I didn't understand why I was so euphoric. Then I woke up, lying completely still, still in the euphoric bliss that I was in, in my dream. It remained as long as I stayed still. This is the second time this had happened. The first time it happened by CHANTING OM IN MY DREAM LOL!! Its so crazy I love it. Get well soon Forest, bless you sir.
“The dance posture of the God may be visualized as the symbolic syllable AUM which is the verbal equivalent of the four states of consciousness and their fields of experience.

The God is thus within the worshiper as well as without. p109” ― Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces
@@ForrestKnutson You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Sir have honey and aloevera juice in the morning then have warm milk with pinch of turmeric 2tspn honey before bed..have boiled water with fennel and a small piece of crushed ginger..
Hope you get well soon, Forrest! I think, I often hear a constant sound which starts all of a sudden when I am busy doing something and I suddenly found myself concentrating on it which takes me into stillness. It will happen for some minutes and then disappear which is good or bad - I don't know. I stop all the work and be with it. This generally happens when I am working. 😄😄 The stillness in very beautiful though! Thanks for explaining how it all works. Warm regards!💖💖🙏🙏
I have done sensory deprivation floats. I hallucinate I am hearing a sound in every float I have done. Turns out it's the same effect you are talking about in this video. And it's around 45 minutes each time. Get well soon Forest 👍
I actually could hear a soft note today during my normal daily activities, sort of like when you rub a wine glass. I have been doing several forms of meditation all my life and started taking my yoga more serious the last couple of days. Also been doing it for more than 30 years. Waiting for Forrest to enlighten us further on the topic. Are the tones generated by our chakras? I guess I will have to wait to find out. 😊

That's very normal. Whenever that happens, with any kind of experience, it means that we are trying to grasp it with our left brain. Rather than embracing it from the right brain perspective. With a little more time it should stay more and more.
@@ForrestKnutson I actually remembered that from one of your previous videos addressing shambhavi/ catching the eye. I tried to do some hakalau, but I was meditating with my eyes closed so I couldn't really figure out if I was doing it correctly.
@@intotheoverlap perfect! As it happens over and over again, we also get used to it, and we don't get so excited, and that helps quite a bit. So, just repetition also solves the riddle. I blew out so many experiences in excitement.
@@ForrestKnutson Well said! Excitement is exactly what derails me in those moments cause I feel like I've unlocked something new. Need to develop the discipline to acknowledge the sensation without being distracted by it. Appreciate your insight!
Ever since I heard about those chambers I’ve wanted to go in them. I was watching a Stephen King inspired show on Hulu where the Aum and the chamber is featured prominently. I loved it, I’m like “dang Stephen King knows about the aum?!” Unfortunately the person who owns the chamber is a little crazy and amoral but I guess that’s just life. What’s the relationship between aum, expansion, and bliss? Does one arise from the other? Are they all just separate experiences that happen to arise together?
Awesome Scott! That reminds me of the 36 Chambers of the Shaolin Temple! Fantastic questions, and I'm either going to write on patreon or make another video on that subject. 🙏
Get well soon Forrestji. Please take care of yourself. This video lesson is so timely. Thanks so much for doing this. I've been wondering for a while if using the OM japa (as the object of concentration) can lead to absorptions and samadhis. And if it can, would it be the same type of absorptions and samadhis as with the breath? If yes, how can it be done?
I think it would be a little bit cost prohibitive. However yes your meditations would most likely be more regularly phenomenal. The amount that ambient noise distracts the meditator is really something. A very great and in between measure would be to get the small version of the foam wedges that come in 4-ft squares that you can stick on your walls. Those are much less expensive and you could put one in the center of each wall, and then more later as cost allows.
I had been hearing the bee buzzing sound after a big energy shift in my body where the energy moved from the root chakra to the head. This buzzing sound is very loud I can’t sleep from it . Is there is a way to loader down or take a break from it at night??
Sorry sir...one little water 1 tspn fennel seeds boil it with 2 inches crushed ginger then filter the water and energize with AUM and drink the water..🙌🙌🙌🙏
No... Stone samadhi describes a problem that the yogi should avoid by always keeping some of his beta conscious mind as he dips into the non-dual state. There are two levels of samadhi that the yogis are trying to describe otherwise. In the first level you still have reasoning and recollection, and though you float in the infinite and feel yourself in it, there is still a very thin layer of separation. In the next level that disappears and the reasoning and recollection also disappears. At this point the yogi is truly non-dual. He says to himself, after coming out of the experience, I AM THAT. He had become the Whole, merging with It completely.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you so much Forrest ! I get so tremendously confused when switching from Buddhist to Yogic terminology. I have figured while meditating that my obssesion with constant and endless reading and searching is my underlying fear of dissapearance and annihilation. All I ever wanted to know is whether 'I' last forever and is there a final end. I do a lot of navi kriya everyday like you have told me and it helps with keeping the body at ease and low idle but this kind of mental restlessness about this question rarely seems to leave me be.
@@Aleksandrpajic the answer is yes. The "I" lasts forever. It transforms, just like the you that was once a child is still the you as an adult. So you have transformed. But you still consider that the same "I".
That is such a burden off my heart. I never understood the three marks. Eternity, Awareness and Bliss makes so much more sense than Impermanence, No self and Suffering. Though I see they are different sides of the same coin. I hope your voice is better Forrest you are the most amazing teacher one could have 💚💙

Dear Forrest,
Can we meditate on the bee buzz during meditation ?. I have started doing that.
How helpful do you think it would be to make your home meditation space within an Anechoic Chamber? Worth it?
I think it's 200 dollars a square foot. So ouch, sensory deprivation float tank is another option but also a very expensive one.
I think it would be a little bit cost prohibitive. However yes your meditations would most likely be more regularly phenomenal. The amount that ambient noise distracts the meditator is really something. A very great and in between measure would be to get the small version of the foam wedges that come in 4-ft squares that you can stick on your walls. Those are much less expensive and you could put one in the center of each wall, and then more later as cost allows.

Pls do spinal breathing regularly tracing the energy up and down the spine followed by meditation. Checkout AYP lessons.
