I have noticed in meditation that when my mind is thinking, my breath becomes more active. When I notice that I am thinking, I re-focus on the breath and both mind and respiration become calm again. It is easier to control the breath than it is to control the mind, so might as well start with the breath. Namaste :)
Yes, there is a very close connection between the breath and the state of the mind, therefore by controlling the breath we control the mind, and by controlling the mind we slow down the breath.
Dada ji ,🙏🙏 i m proud that I am anandmargi ..i m from India plz countinue this series .. whenever you come jamalpur baba birthplace i want to meet you .. hope so i will meet u ..thanku Namaskar

Jen K uncomfortable to sit/uncomfortable in the body. Find the comfort in any situation and not seek for an alternative. For the sufferer does not exist.
Meditation is not about trying to control or maintain preferred states, rather to not be affected or controlled by any states or conditions, meditation is not a doing or action, it is a label that describes a natural state of being 🙏🏽
Absolute truth brother, meditation is a label pointing to a natural state of being not an action or doing, formal meditation and other practices you spoke of are essentially like stabilisers on a bicycle, once you have learnt balance and harmony with what is, there is no need for stabilisers anymore, when you go beyond mind you experience the awareness that allows all phenomena to manifest, when the transition is made from thinker to observer and when one identifies and operates from this observer or awareness the rest takes care for itself, It would be lovely to talk to one day brother green dragon 🙏🏽
I understand everything brother, mooji’s ashram in Portugal is run like a cult and he sleeps with he’s female followers, but hey, I don’t follow or idealise or worship people today, if a teaching is conveyed, I receive and implement that message to my life and experiences and see where it fits, If I was poisoned by a snake and you had the antidote, I wouldn’t refuse it based on your moral standing, I’ve been on retreats with Thai Buddhist monks from the forest tradition and found them very anti-social and seem to be running or hiding from life, but each to their own, you see the very notion of a spiritual life is just another illusory created identity, there is no such thing as spiritual, freedom, enlightenment, peace or Samahdi, the mind creates these labels that need dualism, searching and seeking to survive, when you operate from the observer as opposed to the thinker, you see through the walls of illusion of these labels and identities and you remain in harmony with what is, hope you’re enjoying Cambodia brother 🙏🏽
I like the point he makes about not losing time with meditation but gaining time. I know from experience that when I am scattered and unfocused I end up wasting days, months and even years.
It can't be given. One must search for everything and when found the search begins. One can say patience everyday and never find it. We all need patience with ourselves. We didn't lose our patience in one sitting. Wishing nothing but good for you.
Awesome! Thank yours for spreading your light. I do my best as well; I find it to be my duty to tell everyone about the magic within. Once you experience meditation, you can't help it but tell everyone to try it.
I once was struck with heavy illness to the point where I was bedridden with no energy to speak could barely eat. I was too weak to even look at a computer without feeling overstimulated. I could do nothing but eat sleep and meditate. By the second month my inner state became a paradise. My body started to regain its health. Once my health was restored I quickly Messed everything up and lost it but I always consider that the highest experience of my life and I would imagine the people who do that kind of bliss could be counted on fingers. My friend as an advanced practitioner I highly recommend at one point you dedicate three months of your life to sitting
I've watched tens and tens of meditation videos on here and this is by far the best one, at least as far as addressing restlessness and expectancy of a particular "state" during meditation, which gets in the way of us just being present unconditionally. Great vid thanks for sharing. Namaskar

Hello! I enjoyed the insight you gave here. I would like to point out however, that the audio seemed off. It panned from left to right on my phone and at times seemed far away and quiet. Not sure if this is a problem with my phone but something you might want to look into for the comfort of your viewers. Thank you!
@@anil_kapse do you feel it could be because of the tnsions and karma's in life? These days I try sincerely to offer it to the universe. I don't know how I do it but I do it before the start of the meditation. Let's see if things get better..
@@harshsgupta705 Not necessarily the Karma but mentality I guess. Once while listening to a video of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudeva, I experienced The blissful state. I don't know exactly what I'm trying say. But yea if I meditated once I can do it again. Just keeping that acquired state is very important.
@@anil_kapse thats very nice to know :) when I had been on a Vipasana course, the instructor told us not to get upset if a session isn't peaceful enough. By getting upset we form more knots which has to be opened up again during meditation. He talked of impermanence. One session may be peaceful and another not so much. Or in my case the pent up stuff could be making it's way out? Thanks for sharing your experience :) lets practice practice practice brother :)

Now anyone who reads this WILL come on down to a nice seat of your choice and join me with as much need of release as I need, albeit after said willing directive.

Hello Dada, thanks for this video. Please let me ask most politely why do you think that meditation ist something that can be done? Isn't meditation taking place when there is absolutely no doing at all? Does one, when meditating for peace, health or any other reason really meditate? Or is it the following of a mere thought? Meditation requires silence. Not physically, but in the mind. Silence is the ground, that allowes everything to be. There is silence and there is silence created by thought like "I must not think" or the gap between thoughts. Real silence will drag the mind deeper. That can happen instantly when sitting down or after a couple breaths. In meditation there is no psychological time. Therefore a goal or reason to meditate will stop the meditation because it is a archiving. A "now its not but it will be soon". This can be a very pleasant feeling, but it's not meditating. Meditating is daily life without getting involved completely Please observe this and tell me what you saw!!
Hello, Patrick. You describe a popular misconception about meditation, which is based on an incomplete understanding of Patanjali's definition of Yoga: Yogashcitti vrtii nirodhah. That is, Yoga is the suspension of the propensities of the mind or silence of the mind. It is a good definition but not good enough for those who did not study the meditation process under the guidance of a strong guru. It can easily be misunderstood. Meditation in the Latin language means "to ponder, to think deeply" Similarly, Dhyana in Samskrta is based on many mental and physical processes preceding the stage of pure meditation, e.g. pratyahara, Dharana, that is, withdrawal of the mind from objects and concentration. When the concentration is achieved, then the mind starts flowing effortlessly drown by the cosmic attraction. But before that can happen, there will be a tremendous amount of effort to direct the mind in the proper flow. You can say, that an effort to grasp the inner purport of Mantra is meditation. Without effort, there is no meditation, we can call it relaxation, a passive state, but not meditation. In meditation will power, brain and entire strength of the mind remain vigorously active and therefore develop fast. Relaxation is good for stress management, but can never bring about any spiritual elevation.
Namaskar Alfredo, The mantra at the end of the video is " Baba Nam Kevalam". Baba means "my most beloved One," Nam means "name of" or "to identify with," and Kevalam means "only." So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One." You can find the full version of the recording here: ua-cam.com/video/OvKvl0AHiQ4/v-deo.html
Namaskar, there are many factors which affect our ability to meditate: physical, mental and spiritual. If you follow the advise in our videos, you meditation will certainly improve.
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 To effectively utilize the magnetic energy accumulated in your body, consider the following recommendations: 1. Engage in regular meditation practices to channel and enhance your magnetic energy. Meditation helps in focusing your mind and directing your energy towards specific intentions or goals. 2. Incorporate physical exercises - asanas - which are designed to move and balance energy within the body. These practices can help you harness and direct your magnetic energy effectively. 3. Channel your energy into creative activities such as art, music, or writing. Engaging in creative expression allows you to release and transform your energy into something tangible and fulfilling. 4. Spend time outside, in nature to ground yourself and harmonize your energy. Activities like walking barefoot on the grass or meditating in a natural setting can help you connect with the Earth's energy. 5. Maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get adequate rest. A healthy lifestyle supports the optimal flow of energy within your body, enhancing your magnetic energy's effectiveness. 6. Participate in group activities or workshops that focus on energy work or personal development. Being part of a community can amplify your energy and provide support in your journey. By integrating these practices into your daily routine, you can effectively harness and utilize the magnetic energy within you, leading to greater well-being and personal growth. Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸
@@MeditationSteps Thank you for your answer. All the first 5 items in your answer are my daily routine. The energy is not a negative energy, I don't see a need to discharge it with grounding (my beloved wife and children, my flowers and my little bird provide enough grounding.). Can I just control that energy? How? (it acts like it has its own consciousness.) If I can control it, where and how should I direct it. I am looking for these answers. Thank you
The mantra at the end of the video is " Baba Nam Kevalam". Baba means "my most beloved One," Nam means "name of" or "to identify with," and Kevalam means "only." So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One."
Why is it when i meditate after 20 min i feel like im floating? And for some reason my eyes start to go crosseyed and like i feel a pressure inbeetween my eyebrows? Thank you in advance:)
Have you tried just counting during breaths, restarting each half breath? Or, Perhaps an object to ponder, like: Ezekiel 25:17... What is the Lord's vengeance?
I suggest going to a free 10 day vipassana course to learn this properly, however whatever you experience...think see feel hear taste smell. practice simply observing it without reacting. Try to remain equanimous and realise that all sensation is ultimately impermanent. If you see that everything is impermanent and in constant change, arising and passing away, there is nothing to cling on to. If fear is there fear itself also passes. If you get lost in these sensations as soon as you realise it, bring your focus always back to your breath. This is like a keystone point to your life no matter what happens..breath is there. It allows you to focus the mind on something specific and not get caught up in everything else for a while and quieten down. This is a practice. It requires practice and you will be successful. Good luck, I hope it helps 🙏
Is constant mindfulness comparable to regular meditation? I find I am able to return to the breath and observe thoughts throughout the day, which has led to me meditating less because I don't really see the point anymore because of this near constant mindfulness. Also I feel the kundalini energy and do weekly yoga. Could you explain what could be some benefits of meditation for me ?
Daan Hakvoort there are 2 differences between mindfulness and meditation... First is the degree of intensity. Secondly, in your waking state you will always remain plugged into this physical and manifested world. The world of forms and symbols. The impermanent world. While meditating, you turn inward and return to the formless state, the eternal state. That's your gateway to your own higher mind (aka Buddha nature).
Meditation is from "meditatio" - to think deeply, to ponder. So it is not mindfulness, in mediation you are trying to realize the spiritual realm, consciousness, the Supreme Consciousness.
I had Trauma can’t Meditate anymore,there is no stillness off the mind.And watching ,what comes up?All take about being still and sitting!Is it not more like concentration?Some People can’t sitt straight like this,or fall a 😴!I can concentrate on a Beautiful Busch,or a Tree this is Meditation to,isn it??Watching my Mind only brings Fear back.
I am expressing my sympathy for your health situation... Aniccia... .Long ago I participate meditation classes after work. There are one teacher had printed his book about his personal story. *The lotus in the Fire* . He was in his 30 -s , strong , positive healthy men , father of 4 children, devouted meditator. And for his bad luck , he was diagnosed with agressive form of leukemia. And. how he struggled , and fought , almost in helpless. condition he tried with last strength to meditate in the bed . Dispite of the terrible pain. , he didn t stop his practice. He undestand his body was deseibled , but his mind connected with Sapreme ..... Eventually he had stemm transplant sergeries and God Blessed him., he is ok and organized. regular weekly classes in busiest downtown Toronto. Really recommending to read this book.
Margarita Neluybova 💜🙏for your Advice,I’m getting Advice a lot!Violence and Fear,is different as Leukemia!I use to Reed 5 Books at one Time !Its not bringing Universell Wisdom!💜🙏anyway Meditation is possibly only in Natur,I’m jest the Observer and Lessoner !it makes me be one with all there is,but need to come back in the Body each Time again!Natur always heals me.
@@rosisunny9302 dear Rosi , DON T GIVE UP. Just do your best with everyday challenges. Spirit is Magic Power. A lot of proves. Everything is possible. Step by step. It is not easy way , and nothing is permanent. Meditation is great healing path.. Trust to Universe and Just go Rosi.! Love and compassion💜
It appears that you have problem to sit in the lotus position, and you continued doing it even when you had problems! Your will was strong but you skipped the initial step. You have to start with Asanas and exercises before you be able to sit straight for 20 mins. Most people dont need this step because they are healthy and flexible enough to sit for 20 mins. If they increase their practice to 2 hours, then they too would have to do Asanas and exercises so that their body becomes fit enough to sit for 2 hours continuously.
The sweet presence of divine flow within you... right... and that's suppose to help someone meditate? It will only frustrate people because they don't feel this nonsense you fell or actually you think you feel since your mind is creating yet another story and interpreting what's happening to you. I am sorry to say this, but you haven't yet really meditated even for a minute.
Hi brother, where all that anger is coming from? Yes, it is going to help to meditate, and it has been tested numerous times. Whether it is a creation of the mind or truly spiritual experience is judged by a developed viveka or conscience. But it is the way to proceed with spiritual understanding and experiences.
@@MeditationSteps he's not angry just looking at it from a different perspective. Everyone has a right to their own view. We all have our own interpretation of meditation. For you or others it could be a spiritual experience. I don't believe we have a spirit or spirits, so for me meditation is just attentional control. I respect other people's views that it's a spiritual experience, even though it's more than likely an imaginary view. Have you ever thought about this, does a bat have a spirit? A weed? A monkey? A table? The universe? Why do you have a spirit? How do you know you have one? I don't know what way this guy interprets meditation but he has a right to his view.
Striving is the most natural thing, without striving there is no live. As long as we live we have to struggle and strive, and there is not more positive force on Earth than striving. At the final stage the struggle is over, but all stages before are saturated with struggle, and that is pure joy.
@@MeditationSteps Hi, please excuse my poor username! Just wanted to say, it's very important to connect joy felt during meditation to everyday life. I have found it very useful to prepare before I go into deep meditation to learn to feel and understand contentment. You do many simple things every day that bring contentment when we pause to appreciate them. Every morsel of food, every moment you feel comfortable, warm and secure, every moment in good company. When you feel that warm contentment in every breath during meditation you will remember to feel it during your day. Pretty quickly you learn that you love and cherish every moment because they make you grow and mature. The most important and challenging thing to apply it to is relationships. This is where we learn the most about ourselves. When we are hurt or upset, remember to see the funny side, that your constructed immature ego always seeks external validation. If you can learn to enjoy doing things with people that spread positivity and love, then you know you have started to apply your flow in the correct direction. Love and Peace, 🙏
@@MeditationSteps Striving for a powerful meditation defeats the very purpose of meditation. I'd suggest you meditate on that, but your mind is striving for power. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
@@MeditationSteps what exactly is liberation ? As we are all part and parcel of this universe and creation why attempt liberation ? Why not accept and live with the duality of life and learn to live more effectively ?
Namaskar@@MrSridharMurthy , liberation of self and liberation of bondages. It's the natural goal of every human being. Of course we continue to live in this world, but our goal is subjective, whilst we make objective adjustments. So we can do both; make efforts to attain liberation, while living more 'effectively". They don't need to interfere with one another. :-)
I cannot sit cross legs, the traditional sitting, my legs become numb and the discomfort distract me. I prefer to walk and watch my thoughts or lie down to meditate
Namaskar ash, This is very common with beginners. But if you want to enjoy blissful meditation, then the meditation posture is best. I suggest that you use a cushion to raise your backside, which will reduce the numbness in your legs. Regular practice of asanas (yoga postures) will also help.
Elizabeth French , u no need to sit like him .if u can’t it’s ok . Just sit on a chair but don’t lean against on it .do the meditation with 100% trust and believe . Be Blessed by the Divine Bliss.
You can use different pillows for the knees and buttocks to support yourself. Just be attentive and careful with your body, with thein due time you can master a perfect posture.
Never mind this guy meditation is just attentional control. No such thing as a 'perfect' posture when meditating. You can lie down, perfectly fine. If you're a sleepy person better to sit and not lie down though coz you'll just fall asleep if you lie down! You can also hang upside down if you want 😂
Thanks Dada, meditation is the best thing that ever happened to me, can't explain in words the joy I feel in meditation, it's simply blissful.
I have noticed in meditation that when my mind is thinking, my breath becomes more active. When I notice that I am thinking, I re-focus on the breath and both mind and respiration become calm again. It is easier to control the breath than it is to control the mind, so might as well start with the breath. Namaste :)

Therefore a goal or reason to meditate will stop the meditation because it is a archiving. A "now its not but it will be soon". This can be a very pleasant feeling, but it's not meditating. Meditating is daily life without getting involved completely
Please observe this and tell me what you saw!!
Hello, Patrick.
You describe a popular misconception about meditation, which is based on an incomplete understanding of Patanjali's definition of Yoga: Yogashcitti vrtii nirodhah. That is, Yoga is the suspension of the propensities of the mind or silence of the mind. It is a good definition but not good enough for those who did not study the meditation process under the guidance of a strong guru. It can easily be misunderstood.
Meditation in the Latin language means "to ponder, to think deeply" Similarly, Dhyana in Samskrta is based on many mental and physical processes preceding the stage of pure meditation, e.g. pratyahara, Dharana, that is, withdrawal of the mind from objects and concentration. When the concentration is achieved, then the mind starts flowing effortlessly drown by the cosmic attraction. But before that can happen, there will be a tremendous amount of effort to direct the mind in the proper flow. You can say, that an effort to grasp the inner purport of Mantra is meditation.
Without effort, there is no meditation, we can call it relaxation, a passive state, but not meditation. In meditation will power, brain and entire strength of the mind remain vigorously active and therefore develop fast. Relaxation is good for stress management, but can never bring about any spiritual elevation.
C'est très vrai ce qu il dit !
I wonder how long he was sitting there before the camera person came across him
what is really nice about guys like him (i met a few)that they seem the same after an hr as was at the beginning
Hahaha
😂😂😂😂
What would be the difference
How long should i meditate for?
Anyone know the song at the end of this great video??
Namaskar Alfredo, The mantra at the end of the video is " Baba Nam Kevalam". Baba means "my most beloved One," Nam means "name of" or "to identify with," and Kevalam means "only." So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One." You can find the full version of the recording here: ua-cam.com/video/OvKvl0AHiQ4/v-deo.html
I am a beginner new to meditation so any advice and suggestions to me and to improve meditation.
Thank you
See above-'meditate without the mediator.' That means ignore the you,that you commonly believe is there and think is of value and Just Be!
Just sit there!
Count durations of breath, in.... then count out. Repeat till first birth
Namaskar, there are many factors which affect our ability to meditate: physical, mental and spiritual. If you follow the advise in our videos, you meditation will certainly improve.
@@MeditationSteps The instruction can be found in many places. Thank you for providing one. I will use "Namaskar" to ponder for now.
Hi.
What do you recommend I do with the magnetic energy accumulated in my body?
Thanks
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏
To effectively utilize the magnetic energy accumulated in your body, consider the following recommendations:
1. Engage in regular meditation practices to channel and enhance your magnetic energy. Meditation helps in focusing your mind and directing your energy towards specific intentions or goals.
2. Incorporate physical exercises - asanas - which are designed to move and balance energy within the body. These practices can help you harness and direct your magnetic energy effectively.
3. Channel your energy into creative activities such as art, music, or writing. Engaging in creative expression allows you to release and transform your energy into something tangible and fulfilling.
4. Spend time outside, in nature to ground yourself and harmonize your energy. Activities like walking barefoot on the grass or meditating in a natural setting can help you connect with the Earth's energy.
5. Maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get adequate rest. A healthy lifestyle supports the optimal flow of energy within your body, enhancing your magnetic energy's effectiveness.
6. Participate in group activities or workshops that focus on energy work or personal development. Being part of a community can amplify your energy and provide support in your journey.
By integrating these practices into your daily routine, you can effectively harness and utilize the magnetic energy within you, leading to greater well-being and personal growth.
Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸
@@MeditationSteps Thank you for your answer.
All the first 5 items in your answer are my daily routine.
The energy is not a negative energy, I don't see a need to discharge it with grounding (my beloved wife and children, my flowers and my little bird provide enough grounding.).
Can I just control that energy? How? (it acts like it has its own consciousness.)
If I can control it, where and how should I direct it. I am looking for these answers.
Thank you
Hi 👋 please can you let me know the name of the song in the end of your videos thanks 🙏
The mantra at the end of the video is " Baba Nam Kevalam". Baba means "my most beloved One," Nam means "name of" or "to identify with," and Kevalam means "only." So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One."
Meditation Steps thanks 🙏 so much muchas gracias 🙏
I sit and listen to DMT music and I feel very very relaxed and when I think of stuff it gets more and more vivid, am I doing it right
No. Your obviously a beginner
For a sec thought this was an isis execution o.o
LOL hahaha :D (Y)
Executions happen with more than one.
The orange is not just to signify a particular vedic lineage but also so he doesnt get mistaken for a moose while in the woods
Ahaha man I love this guy
Daniel Bryan, I love you!
I'm 15 and fucking love meditation
Why is it when i meditate after 20 min i feel like im floating? And for some reason my eyes start to go crosseyed and like i feel a pressure inbeetween my eyebrows? Thank you in advance:)
Same here
You are not allowing focus to move. TOO, focused on control of thought.
The intent will do.
Ahah exact same! :)
Have you tried just counting during breaths, restarting each half breath?
Or, Perhaps an object to ponder, like: Ezekiel 25:17... What is the Lord's vengeance?
I have OCD , so if I close my eyes I see disturbing visuals. BUT I want to meditate. Any suggestion?
What do you see? And if so, have you ever meditated on psychedelics?
I suggest going to a free 10 day vipassana course to learn this properly, however whatever you experience...think see feel hear taste smell. practice simply observing it without reacting. Try to remain equanimous and realise that all sensation is ultimately impermanent. If you see that everything is impermanent and in constant change, arising and passing away, there is nothing to cling on to. If fear is there fear itself also passes. If you get lost in these sensations as soon as you realise it, bring your focus always back to your breath. This is like a keystone point to your life no matter what happens..breath is there. It allows you to focus the mind on something specific and not get caught up in everything else for a while and quieten down.
This is a practice. It requires practice and you will be successful. Good luck, I hope it helps 🙏
Do it with open eyes, just dont focus on anything other than your breath 😉
Perhaps it would help you to do a form of meditation that USES visualization?
Is constant mindfulness comparable to regular meditation? I find I am able to return to the breath and observe thoughts throughout the day, which has led to me meditating less because I don't really see the point anymore because of this near constant mindfulness. Also I feel the kundalini energy and do weekly yoga. Could you explain what could be some benefits of meditation for me ?
Daan Hakvoort there are 2 differences between mindfulness and meditation... First is the degree of intensity. Secondly, in your waking state you will always remain plugged into this physical and manifested world. The world of forms and symbols. The impermanent world. While meditating, you turn inward and return to the formless state, the eternal state. That's your gateway to your own higher mind (aka Buddha nature).
Meditation is from "meditatio" - to think deeply, to ponder. So it is not mindfulness, in mediation you are trying to realize the spiritual realm, consciousness, the Supreme Consciousness.
Спасибо
Namaste to all creation 🙏🙇
🙏🙏🙏
Oh yeah, I forgot. Still body, still mind.
Uilium Powell so what if some part of your body is itchy while you’re sitting and you have to scratch it..?
@@ryblinkaway 🤔The itch would be noted and if reaction is too much then scratching would arise mindfully.
I had Trauma can’t Meditate anymore,there is no stillness off the mind.And watching ,what comes up?All take about being still and sitting!Is it not more like concentration?Some People can’t sitt straight like this,or fall a 😴!I can concentrate on a Beautiful Busch,or a Tree this is Meditation to,isn it??Watching my Mind only brings Fear back.
I am expressing my sympathy for your health situation... Aniccia...
.Long ago I participate meditation classes after work. There are one teacher had printed his book about his personal story. *The lotus in the Fire* . He was in his 30 -s , strong , positive healthy men , father of 4 children, devouted meditator. And for his bad luck , he was diagnosed with agressive form of leukemia. And. how he struggled , and fought , almost in helpless. condition he tried with last strength to meditate in the bed . Dispite of the terrible pain. , he didn t stop his practice. He undestand his body was deseibled , but his mind connected with Sapreme .....
Eventually he had stemm transplant sergeries and God Blessed him., he is ok and organized. regular weekly classes in busiest downtown Toronto.
Really recommending to read this book.
Margarita Neluybova 💜🙏for your Advice,I’m getting Advice a lot!Violence and Fear,is different as Leukemia!I use to Reed 5 Books at one Time !Its not bringing Universell Wisdom!💜🙏anyway Meditation is possibly only in Natur,I’m jest the Observer and Lessoner !it makes me be one with all there is,but need to come back in the Body each Time again!Natur always heals me.
@@rosisunny9302 dear Rosi ,
DON T GIVE UP. Just do your best with everyday challenges. Spirit is Magic Power. A lot of proves. Everything is possible. Step by step. It is not easy way , and nothing is permanent. Meditation is great healing path.. Trust to Universe and
Just go Rosi.!
Love and compassion💜
It appears that you have problem to sit in the lotus position, and you continued doing it even when you had problems! Your will was strong but you skipped the initial step. You have to start with Asanas and exercises before you be able to sit straight for 20 mins.
Most people dont need this step because they are healthy and flexible enough to sit for 20 mins. If they increase their practice to 2 hours, then they too would have to do Asanas and exercises so that their body becomes fit enough to sit for 2 hours continuously.
Margarita Neluybova To you back 🌱💜👍👍🌱✌️✌️🌱😍😍😍
Ask yourself am i aware ? Your mind will search if it is aware it can not find any object eventually it will fall in itself
The sweet presence of divine flow within you... right... and that's suppose to help someone meditate? It will only frustrate people because they don't feel this nonsense you fell or actually you think you feel since your mind is creating yet another story and interpreting what's happening to you. I am sorry to say this, but you haven't yet really meditated even for a minute.
Hi brother, where all that anger is coming from?
Yes, it is going to help to meditate, and it has been tested numerous times. Whether it is a creation of the mind or truly spiritual experience is judged by a developed viveka or conscience. But it is the way to proceed with spiritual understanding and experiences.
@@MeditationSteps he's not angry just looking at it from a different perspective. Everyone has a right to their own view. We all have our own interpretation of meditation. For you or others it could be a spiritual experience. I don't believe we have a spirit or spirits, so for me meditation is just attentional control. I respect other people's views that it's a spiritual experience, even though it's more than likely an imaginary view. Have you ever thought about this, does a bat have a spirit? A weed? A monkey? A table? The universe? Why do you have a spirit? How do you know you have one? I don't know what way this guy interprets meditation but he has a right to his view.
@@MeditationSteps my beloved, he may not be angry at all. It could just be an imbalance in the feeling. Most imbalance is dietary.
You are afraid of the word divine?
Meditation is not about powerful action. Power over meditative action indicates striving; striving is a negative force.
Striving is the most natural thing, without striving there is no live. As long as we live we have to struggle and strive, and there is not more positive force on Earth than striving. At the final stage the struggle is over, but all stages before are saturated with struggle, and that is pure joy.
@@MeditationSteps Hi, please excuse my poor username!
Just wanted to say, it's very important to connect joy felt during meditation to everyday life.
I have found it very useful to prepare before I go into deep meditation to learn to feel and understand contentment.
You do many simple things every day that bring contentment when we pause to appreciate them. Every morsel of food, every moment you feel comfortable, warm and secure, every moment in good company.
When you feel that warm contentment in every breath during meditation you will remember to feel it during your day.
Pretty quickly you learn that you love and cherish every moment because they make you grow and mature.
The most important and challenging thing to apply it to is relationships. This is where we learn the most about ourselves.
When we are hurt or upset, remember to see the funny side, that your constructed immature ego always seeks external validation.
If you can learn to enjoy doing things with people that spread positivity and love, then you know you have started to apply your flow in the correct direction.
Love and Peace, 🙏
@@MeditationSteps Striving for a powerful meditation defeats the very purpose of meditation. I'd suggest you meditate on that, but your mind is striving for power. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
What if l'm forced to do mindfulness?
Hi bro...🖐️
What is the goal of meditation? Is it for attaining siddhis and other powers ?
Namaskar, the goal of meditation is liberation, not siddhis or other powers.
@@MeditationSteps what exactly is liberation ? As we are all part and parcel of this universe and creation why attempt liberation ? Why not accept and live with the duality of life and learn to live more effectively ?
Namaskar@@MrSridharMurthy , liberation of self and liberation of bondages. It's the natural goal of every human being. Of course we continue to live in this world, but our goal is subjective, whilst we make objective adjustments. So we can do both; make efforts to attain liberation, while living more 'effectively". They don't need to interfere with one another. :-)
@@MeditationSteps 😃
I cannot sit cross legs, the traditional sitting, my legs become numb and the discomfort distract me. I prefer to walk and watch my thoughts or lie down to meditate
Namaskar ash, This is very common with beginners. But if you want to enjoy blissful meditation, then the meditation posture is best. I suggest that you use a cushion to raise your backside, which will reduce the numbness in your legs. Regular practice of asanas (yoga postures) will also help.
That sweet flow baby
Do you have to sit?. I cannot through knee injury do this. I cannot sit in correct meditation position 💜🙏💜
Elizabeth French , u no need to sit like him .if u can’t it’s ok . Just sit on a chair but don’t lean against on it .do the meditation with 100% trust and believe . Be Blessed by the Divine Bliss.
You can use different pillows for the knees and buttocks to support yourself. Just be attentive and careful with your body, with thein due time you can master a perfect posture.
Never mind this guy meditation is just attentional control. No such thing as a 'perfect' posture when meditating. You can lie down, perfectly fine. If you're a sleepy person better to sit and not lie down though coz you'll just fall asleep if you lie down! You can also hang upside down if you want 😂
Namaskar. Cpocibo
Is there anyone else here who thought this was Varg? Or just me?
I didn't expect this here... No, just you.
