Really really amazing video. I’ve read 2 books regarding meditation but every time I’ve tried I felt so intimidated by having to clear my mind when it’s so filled with stress and craziness just like you.
When I meditate I feel good and happy all day! I've been meditating almost everyday during one year. And you summarized meditation very well! Thanks from Brazil.
I would describe meditation using the words "learning to empty the mind of all content at will". And the way one does that is to focus intensely on an object. While 100% of your attention is on breath, there can be no thinking, and the number of thoughts that are suggested/come up in the thinking mind, get less and less and less. And then you become aware of emptiness itself, the space in-between thoughts, or the silence which is under all noise in the physical world. And when the connection to this silence/void space is strong, there is no thinking unless you decide to. So one could also say "Its learning to control how much thinking goes on, and what the thinking mind does". And while having focus on the underlying silence which is all around you (Yoda references Buddhism when he says "You must feel the force, around you), you feel quite blissful at times. This is my experience, and it is congruent with that of others.
Something about your voice is so soothing, been a viewer for many years and I’ve been meditating as well it really is a game changer! Meditation/skate/relatable content that’s what I like to see. You’re like a skate guru brother!
One of the better videos I've watched about meditation. Thank you very much. There is a guy called Vinnie Tollman, who had a NDE, in which he was told that being authentic is the most important thing in (his) life. Greetings from Germany
This video is amazing. I came here after watching your other video about how this one had low views. Thank you for loving yourself and presenting that here. You are definitely becoming my Chad haha
Thank you for posting this. It is so interesting to hear about your experiences of meditation. Meditation is such a powerful thing. It works. It takes practice but it gets easier over time. You mentioned 10 minutes of mediation, but I have found I need longer than that to feel the effects. I think it is probably a personal thing. I've been practicing meditation for some time and for me personally I find that it only starts to "kick in" after 10 to 15 minutes. When I say "kick in", I mean that is about the time I feel it is starting to work. At that point I feel a sense of bliss washing over me as I breath out, almost like the washing over the body feeling that I have felt from smoking weed, and I see images behind my closed eyes. The images are like swirling colours or sometimes an eye shaped white light, and those images sometimes form a dreamlike movie that appears real. Up until that point I don't think the meditation is doing anything useful, and in my experience it's only after those effects kick in that the magic begins. After that I would recommend another 10 minutes at least, so 25-30 minutes minimum I'd say, otherwise I find it to be a waste of time. If it's working, the effect can be easily measured. My heart rate will typically drop from about 65 down to about 45, which is about same rate as when I am sleeping. Just wear a monitor and you will see. That's my experience anyway. For all I know, everyone else might have a totally different experience. The only thing I am certain of is that meditation works. It is the most important thing I have discovered in my life so far.
I'm just starting to try to meditate. I don't understand what most people say about it, but I understand what you are saying. Thank you for your video and the book recommendation.
0:20 great video but omg what is that background song? I love it so much and have heard it used in so many videos but can’t find it! It sounds so peaceful and beautiful
Now i understand the real meaning of meditation..just practice your mind to focus on the thing that you want❤❤❤
"If you think you've failed 100 times, you didn't, you just did a 100 reps" really puts things into perspective!

All natural baby!
@@georgepoulos W :)
were you practising mindfulness? If you were, did it seem to improve your intelligence in anyway?
so is only you, me and 813 others skateboarders that meditate too.The others,they don't know what they losing!
Meditation is not concentration.
Concentration is only a tool.
Meditation is letting everything be as it is.
no way dude..
I think I went to deep into it, I felt myself getting sleep paralysis
How dare you tell me what to do.
Please stop the fuckin music in the background. You are enough!
Thank you so much. I needed to hear this, and I think you knew that.
You look super crazy dude😂 maybe just a little socially awkward lol you're a better man than I am dude
