Growing up, my biggest passion was spirituality but unfortunately at the age of 19 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Visual and auditiory hallucinations made me believe that I would never be able to enjoy the fruits of meditation ever again, and this resulted in the absolute demolishion of my desire to live. This was followed by 2 suicide attempts that left me stuck in a psych ward for the whole of last year... Long story short... I taught myself many hacks to push through a full hour of meditation without allowing the voices and visions to suede me into giving up. Ive done 3 days in succession and plan on continuing every day until Im hopefully able to attain the state of mindfulness that I used to have before schizophrenia. This life is aggressive but it doesnt owe you anything. If you're reading this please know that you are way stronger than you could ever imagine. Strong desire can transform your life spectacularly, and pain and suffering is the source of our power
Not 100% ryt u said but it's 1000% ryt sir even I had same idea as you if we were taught this in our schools we wouldn't have these restless days to see today, without peace....
@Nobody Unknown This video is good for those who cannot afford or have the time or to pay big prices and go into instructed retreats - or those who have given up because they cannot focus completely - like self
Hi guys, can i ask something? It is okay if im in the meditating state and i suddenly yawn? I mean it is normal? Can i still get the benefits or not get snapped out on meditating state when i yawn? I'll really appreciate if someone answer😊
To everyone who is experiencing a difficult situation: To shoot an arrow you have to pull it backwards. So when life drags you back with some troubles, it means it's going to launch into something better.
I was taught meditation at my high-school, by my zoology teacher. And it helped me quite a lot, to concentrate, and to make me active all the time. And I believe everyone should be taught meditation at schools, from a young age.
@@sunflowerly9300 meditation is nothing but focusing on yourself. You can do it anytime. Just sit comfortably in a peace environment,close your eyes, feel all your body parts, focus on your breathing(inhale fully, Exhale fully) and then limit your thoughts, try to think of nothing, just think of who you are, what make you Alive. Your name, relations, etc are all given by others and we people think that is our identity, but deep inside finding 'who am i' is the main motive of meditation
Zoology? What the hell is that. Is that like the study of animals or some shit? We had Reading Writing and arithmetic and maybe recess and a one or two other classes. And that was about it we never had anything dealing with zoology or whatever that is
@@justaname1837 You've never lived with permanent tendon damage to the groin and hamstring tendons. The monk who self-immolated only had to endure the flames for a period under an hour. I've lived with this for 20 years. I understand what's happening at the nervous system level as I'm a former brain research scientist. I haven't been able to dampen the worst of it with meditation. Certain types and intensities of pain force their way into your attention. No disrespect to the monk who protested in that manner either. He demonstrated absolute willpower and dedication.
Actually, you can meditate anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances. 00:19 It is just awareness. 00:23 We say that the essence of meditation is awareness. 00:27 Awareness means you know what you are thinking, 00:31 what you are feeling, what you are doing.
in that case i'm always meditating. I'd say i started when i was about 4 or 5 years old, i remember becoming more aware after a shocking idea entered my head, i started by practicing awareness of myself and my growth or when i made a mistake and often contemplated what was going on around me to a large extent. I matured faster and learned things quicker, i was able to make it into a strong passive intuition and am hyper aware of others and myself and my general surroundings. I'm usually able to read the room or individuals studying and making connections between patterns of behavior and just the vibe in general. I check in on myself and get deep. I think about the bigger picture and have had a bit of fun trying to theorize about how the universe at large operates. I don't think i'm right, but i like the idea of trying to see patterns ,especially ones that repeat or have relationships between large and small at scale, things like how our world on the sub-atomic scale curiously behaves like theories we have explaining how black and white holes operate or share congruencies with things we see on a cosmic scale. It is curious how we may think about ourselves as a spec in the universe at large but draw similarity between things so small we cannot physically see but with complex math and science can measure how they behave and curious yet again that parallel (or seem to be) with how our galaxies and observable universe looks and behaves. To be mindful is also to be in more control of yourself and not becoming a creature of only habit and dying mental or spiritual growth however you choose to see it. Meditation is for everyone and doesn't require anything special other than a mind that is open and a bit of focus. (ADD makes it hard, but if i can do it i think anyone can).
I think it’s really important to build a habit out of meditation. Instead of checking twitter or watching UA-cam for 5 more minutes, turn that short amount of time into meditation ✊
Yeah. I've done the same. I meditate a total of 40 mins a day. I'd recommend 'How to develop the habit to meditation' by Utpaal Shah if you want to get into it.
I sat with my eyes closed, tried to control breathing, envisioned myself in happy places and times of my life, told myself I'm grateful for those moments and people, all while breathing and being still. I physically feel calmer.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Don't order from scammers, but there are great myco-communities that can help you learn how to grow your own and that can be it's own meditative experience. I really think it's important to learn and practice mindfulness first though! Not every trip or day will be a "good" experience and it will benefit you to practice the acceptance of whatever the experience is that mindfulness includes. ❤ ❤ ❤
I am a very hateful person. Who has made many mistakes in my short years of life. I’m going to make a change and give myself a fresh start. I want to lose my hinge on worldly possessions and become a happy peaceful person. I’m going to start by meditating. I don’t know what my goal is but i just want to have some moments of tranquility in my very hectic life.
Practice being aware of every little thing that you do, and you'll real-ize being aware of being aware. Which is your true essence and nature. 'Nuff said.
Mr Solitude is correct in his statement. Awareness of being aware of the object you are aware of. Then at some point the object of your awareness disappears along with your awareness.
@@dreamthedream8929 Just describing the different experiences of meditating. In the first instance you in a way separate yourself from the object of which you are aware of by being aware of that object. So it could be thoughts body emotions breathing beads mantra etc. Then you become aware that you are aware, whilst watching the continued objects passing by in each moment. Then at some point the object disappears and with it you (awareness). Then you enter a blissful state and after going through that you disappear 100%. If you do that enough of times you will be at some point enlightened.
@@workinprogress6504 No not really it is kind of different than that but if you want to know the answer if you have any friends that practice Vajrayana Buddhism ask them they would probably know what your talking about if not then ask a lama
When I was young, I would always stare at the art on our plates or patterns on the wall for hours. I didn't know that was already meditation. Thank you for sharing!
It's so incredibly simple, I feel as though there should be more. I've been meditating regularly for 18 months now - truly one of the best decisions I ever made. Totally life-changing. Thank you for this lovely explanation.
Thank you for this inspiring video. I truly recommend meditation, people don't realise the effects it can have. If you're reading this, I truly wish you realize how powerful you are! Blessings for all.
renaat Deckers eastern world has just as many issues, don’t let your perception of your situation hold you back from the desire for growth that lead you to this video.
There is no problem, except that you decide to define it as such. Being aware of your thinking is part of the solution. With the right attitude, you can achieve silence. But it starts with non-judgmental awareness. In other words, don't judge it as a "problem."
@@RodMartinJr It is a problem for me. You see people with anxiety disorders find it very hard, these thoughts that race through your mind at an extreme pace, so much so that u cant even get a moment of peace, yes your advice is sound but some of us lack the innate ability and practice to shut down our thoughts. Sometimes i just wish if there was a switch to turn off, sometimes i just want to sleep without my heart racing, sometimes only thing i want dearly is a moment of silence in there and a night full of sound sleep.
@@srinivasapavan4566 Instead of fighting whatever you are thinking about, just notice when the thought arises, don't label it as anything, and see it for what it is, a thought. The very first step is to notice. Your thoughts are not you, your anxieties are not you, and they don't define you. It gets better and easier with time, good luck on your journey.
Nirvana is achieved through such a high level of awareness that one loses the sense of self and everything that comes with identity completely hence realizing the observer is the same as the observed and these become unified into a singular, blissfull, eternal essence where one would never want to leave.
@@ferdinandocoluccelli9574 Ferdinando sir. Its no a very good idea to start meditating on your own by watching you tube videos and agreeing to whatever someone says on meditation. Meditation is a very difficult path but the results are awesome and only two requirements of the spiritual path is to have a master a guru and second is your sincere personal effort called sadhna.
I do meditation by focusing on my breathe it is so helpful in calm you down and sometimes when I open my eyes after meditate I feel waking up after good sleep with full of freshness and positive thoughts
to basically 'be' and be aware of your own existence is hard. I can't even think about nothing, because i'm occasionally thinking about my own existence
My Dear Rinpoche, Listening to you talking itself is my meditation. So much of peace and serenity in your voice and great wisdom in your simple words. I really wonder if anyone could ever explain the essence of meditation with this ease. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I pursued the "empty your mind" concept of meditation from an early age... To no avail. Eventually I started focusing on my own concept of what meditation was to me. It is refreshing to discover that I have been meditating correctly for decades. Thank you.
I always feel calm and peace whenever Im listening to your guided meditation. You showed me that meditation is not as complicated as most people say it is. Thank you. Mingyu Rinpoche
I was always wanted to Know the real meaning of meditation...I thought it is a very complicated process...but now I can do it everyday everywhere... Thank you is Not enough for you...🤗🤗🤗
I saw a still simpler technique. A lot of thoughts come to ur mind. So, instruct your brain to focus on your breathing.. the thots will still go on, but in background. Just focus on ur breath.
WE were taught meditation in school and none of us use pay attention even for 10 mins but now after meditating those positive changes in me makes me feel our teachers weren't wrong
My guide would be similar but add in.. Get a cushion and sit on it. Listen to your thoughts.. they're ok!! Listen to the thoughts, move on if you don't like them.. it's amazing how quickly your brain starts telling you interesting things.
I was once told that with patience, you will find that all of these things dissipate over time as they no longer become thoughts of importance in meditation; your mind clears itself.
you don't HAVE to remove distractions. In fact the distractions can be what you are focusing on. I'm not saying watching a video and paying attention is meditation. But if there are sounds around you, you can make that your awareness.
Meditation has been the practice that has improved my focus, discipline and composure over time when i had no idea i needed meditation:) its a really great thing to adopt
That's exactly the technique I've learned to teach children meditation. It's not about being quiet and (completely) clearing the mind, but to be aware of what you're experiencing, what you hear, what you feel (e.g. is it warm or cold, windy). It's about concentrating on one thing at a time and experiencing it fully with all your senses.
This is really great..it often happens that we look for our answers in the outer world..bt if we meditate n ask that same questions to ourselves than u'll find the answers within yourself..n believe be this is what I do whn i hav chaos of thoughts in my head i just do the meditation for just 4-5 mins n my mind gets focused again❤ thnku so much Master 4 your teaching 💐
Thank you for your guidance. I thought that I could not meditate because I could not stay completely focused. The way you explain meditation has made me realize that I put too much pressure on myself. I am grateful for you. In the love and light ♥️
seeing his meditating technique I am impressed very much. It is way that forms a very strong bond, relationship between us and our Universes, Almighty, Galaxy
when i was 10 years old i accidentally read article about meditation then after i read it i do it everytime i have a free time and it is really change me now im 18 years old and still doing this great thing
Thank you for getting straight to the point. I cant tell you how many other vids I’ve watched on how to meditate effectively, and most of them were just people speaking in ways i couldn’t understand, or just beating around the bush
What an amazing lesson in such a short amount of time! Thank you so much, beginning meditator here and I had been having these exact concerns. Have a blessed life!
You and Alan Watts are on repeat for hours, thx for deciding to be a bodhisattva and share ur wisdom and insight! Keep it up man, I think the world in general is finally ready to wake up and explore beyond what's seen directly in front. 🍃☘
If you pay attention for your attention, that is your awareness. what ever your awareness is, it is a support for your meditation, as long as your not defying it as not. But that is also a support. if you read this, just know your awesome I’m here to tell you, you deserve best Live your life fullest, hard time’s also awesome because you awesome 😎
I started practicing meditation a few years ago. Now it comes easy. I learned alot about myself in the process and now i try to tell everyone i know they should meditate.
Honestly, I find it interesting that such a simple video helped me to relax and feel like I am actually winding down. Thank you deeply, this is helping me overcome my anger and sadness more then I’d expect.
Yes indeed, I’ve been meditating for just over a week and I can already see an improvement in my mental health I’m so surprised how effective meditation is
Great, succinct, to-the-point observation, sir. We sometimes have the tendency to adorn meditation with unnecessary floral descriptions and procedures. Meditation, in its most naked and simplest practice, bears the best fruit. Thank you.
Namaz or praying to allah is a beautiful things It makes us so humble and also stops us from committing sins because it reminds us next after few hours of day we again need to bow down before our creator . And also after namaz the soul' is cleaned from all the impurities like greed or jealous etc It is like a sunshine in the heart
Thank you for making these videos short. It actually helps a lot to be able to just get the idea. Pay attention for that moment and really take in the advice. Longer videos sometimes make me lose focus.
Thank you for not trying to sell complex, unnecessary techniques. The way you put it, I meditate a lot. I am always thinking about my thoughts, I breathe and try to be present. That other crazy quantum mechanics stuff drives me nuts. Thank you!
Meditation is something in which one can hear their own voice and also know their own thought whatever they think. Maybe we can forget what we think while meditating but sometimes we make our thoughts better than before.
i have been looking for guidance on meditation, and finally i found this video today, complete and perfect for me. Awareness, clear explanation, yes, to do list pops up in my mind when i meditate, and i can do meditation only when i am travelling in metro,no one to disturb...
I want to learn how to meditate so bad! I am 46. I also have severe ADD. I have entire life. I get so distracted everytime I try. I'm glad I found your channel. Perhaps your videos can help me. Also, if anyone reading this has any words of wisdom or advice, I would love to hear! Thank you!

Thank you for this inspiring video. I truly recommend meditation, people don't realise the effects it can have. If you're reading this, I truly wish you realize how powerful you are! Blessings for all.
Omg,his accent is sooooo sweet 😍
True! 😁
So funny.
First i taught he was joking!
Meditate is so simpel.
Maybe for those guys.
Not for this screwed up western world.
Namaste
renaat Deckers eastern world has just as many issues, don’t let your perception of your situation hold you back from the desire for growth that lead you to this video.
@@renaatdeckers6670 but my brother says its hard he is saying the truth
@@frikkirhymeproductions5701 he is wrong
"Meditation is easier than u think"
"I THINK" and that's THE problem.
There is no problem, except that you decide to define it as such. Being aware of your thinking is part of the solution. With the right attitude, you can achieve silence. But it starts with non-judgmental awareness. In other words, don't judge it as a "problem."
@@RodMartinJr It is a problem for me. You see people with anxiety disorders find it very hard, these thoughts that race through your mind at an extreme pace, so much so that u cant even get a moment of peace, yes your advice is sound but some of us lack the innate ability and practice to shut down our thoughts.
Sometimes i just wish if there was a switch to turn off, sometimes i just want to sleep without my heart racing, sometimes only thing i want dearly is a moment of silence in there and a night full of sound sleep.
@@srinivasapavan4566 Instead of fighting whatever you are thinking about, just notice when the thought arises, don't label it as anything, and see it for what it is, a thought. The very first step is to notice. Your thoughts are not you, your anxieties are not you, and they don't define you. It gets better and easier with time, good luck on your journey.
@@Andrewiththeaudi would try, thank you!
Meditation isn’t supposed to stop your thoughts dude.
Nirvana is achieved through such a high level of awareness that one loses the sense of self and everything that comes with identity completely hence realizing the observer is the same as the observed and these become unified into a singular, blissfull, eternal essence where one would never want to leave.
nirvana is a great band
@@ryxarkhalyx Yes! Come as you are.. Bah! Nevermind!
How did you achieve it
@@remruatiroyte "I" didn't :)
so in short, u gotta get real dumb first
To everyone having rough time, you got this. Better days are coming soon :) I wish you wonderfull day.
Thank you for that. 😊
nah im good L
Thanks bro
meditation at it's core is simply awareness which you can do in everyday life

Buddhist monks are not good yogis and know very little about meditation.
shubham pant 🤔
@@shubhampant543 if you really knew, you would know that what the monk said is equally true. please let your fixations go. namaste
@@ferdinandocoluccelli9574 Ferdinando sir. Its no a very good idea to start meditating on your own by watching you tube videos and agreeing to whatever someone says on meditation. Meditation is a very difficult path but the results are awesome and only two requirements of the spiritual path is to have a master a guru and second is your sincere personal effort called sadhna.
Thank you kind Rinpoche for sharing your wisdom with us!! The world needs to be filled with people like you.
I do meditation by focusing on my breathe it is so helpful in calm you down and sometimes when I open my eyes after meditate I feel waking up after good sleep with full of freshness and positive thoughts
Thank you so much for bringing clarity to something that so many people have seem to have made so confusing!!!
How can you not like this guy. I think he's awesome!
Just take off your phone and meditate!
Dabank Eonnet
Put away your phone*
The verb "take", isn't correct in this context. Syntax error.
U completely misunderstood. he said you can even meditate while seeing phone.
@@Amar-bt2ur lmao that's right
@@Amar-bt2ur lol
thank you, our precious Teacher! As usual, brief and to the point!
Evgeny Andreyev 😆 he’s not really ur teacher unless he accepts you as his student
Thank you for making meditation so accessible [0:10]
The combination of his accent and the style of explanation is so adorable. Easy and simple!
to basically 'be' and be aware of your own existence is hard. I can't even think about nothing, because i'm occasionally thinking about my own existence
How can you not be aware of your existence? Unless you are asleep or in a coma.
@@gomey70 have u watched the entire video?
The point is to be aware that you’re aware
I hate being aware of my existence
@@marufubi Jajajaja
My Dear Rinpoche, Listening to you talking itself is my meditation. So much of peace and serenity in your voice and great wisdom in your simple words. I really wonder if anyone could ever explain the essence of meditation with this ease. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I pursued the "empty your mind" concept of meditation from an early age... To no avail. Eventually I started focusing on my own concept of what meditation was to me. It is refreshing to discover that I have been meditating correctly for decades. Thank you.
I always feel calm and peace whenever Im listening to your guided meditation. You showed me that meditation is not as complicated as most people say it is. Thank you. Mingyu Rinpoche
I was always wanted to Know the real meaning of meditation...I thought it is a very complicated process...but now I can do it everyday everywhere...
Thank you is Not enough for you...🤗🤗🤗
I saw a still simpler technique. A lot of thoughts come to ur mind. So, instruct your brain to focus on your breathing.. the thots will still go on, but in background. Just focus on ur breath.
It’s a communication skill with then unknown. It will blow your mind what you can see.
@@hari7Ajay living in present is a meditation
I wanna tell that meditation is not a process it is about not reacting or doing nothing
Moiu korisilu meditation but majote eri dilu akou start korim buli bhabish
@@hari7Ajay i dont understand.. So i should think about breathing only in that moment?
Simplest explanation of meditation ever 😊
WE were taught meditation in school and none of us use pay attention even for 10 mins but now after meditating those positive changes in me makes me feel our teachers weren't wrong
Not everyone
Well it's definitely going to be difficult Meditating as a child, In School
Without any of thr knowledge on how or why, that you know now
Lmao stfu
Huh? I dont recall the scool ever thaugt us about meditation
Was it in Thailand were you learned it in school.
I feel you speak from the heart💗 , i could watch and listen to you all the time , bless you 💗💗💗💗
Wow, after years of trying to meditate, the answer is to maintain awareness, and simply "be " what could be simpler?
Thank you- namaste 🕉
1. Remove Distractions
2. Focus on something whether it’s your breath, mind, or surroundings
My guide would be similar but add in.. Get a cushion and sit on it. Listen to your thoughts.. they're ok!! Listen to the thoughts, move on if you don't like them.. it's amazing how quickly your brain starts telling you interesting things.
I was once told that with patience, you will find that all of these things dissipate over time as they no longer become thoughts of importance in meditation; your mind clears itself.
you don't HAVE to remove distractions. In fact the distractions can be what you are focusing on. I'm not saying watching a video and paying attention is meditation. But if there are sounds around you, you can make that your awareness.
@@enhancedlemons484 this could work!
Can someone explain me in simple words plz
Meditation has been the practice that has improved my focus, discipline and composure over time when i had no idea i needed meditation:) its a really great thing to adopt
This is my favorite video on meditation. To the point. Simple. The mind complicates. Awareness is simple.
Thank you, this was a synchronistic validation for me just a moment ago.
Silence is golden, in it you can hear the Creators Feedback.
That's exactly the technique I've learned to teach children meditation. It's not about being quiet and (completely) clearing the mind, but to be aware of what you're experiencing, what you hear, what you feel (e.g. is it warm or cold, windy). It's about concentrating on one thing at a time and experiencing it fully with all your senses.
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in the woods by myself. I found it to be peaceful, relaxing. Perhaps I’ve been meditating unknowingly?
I do my meditation while driving, it makes me so focused, I feel so in the present and it gives me an amazing sense of existance.
This is really great..it often happens that we look for our answers in the outer world..bt if we meditate n ask that same questions to ourselves than u'll find the answers within yourself..n believe be this is what I do whn i hav chaos of thoughts in my head i just do the meditation for just 4-5 mins n my mind gets focused again❤ thnku so much Master 4 your teaching 💐
Oh man his face shows no signs of stress and conflicts inside mind.
I would love to sit with him and talk
Thank you for your guidance. I thought that I could not meditate because I could not stay completely focused. The way you explain meditation has made me realize that I put too much pressure on myself. I am grateful for you. In the love and light ♥️
I really love the message that there’s no need to create a special state, just being aware is enough. Thank you for clarifying meditation
I couldn’t even concentrate on what he was saying. Got distracted with my thoughts. I am obviously not good at this.
The moment you realise you are distracted is the point of awareness
It's ok, the point is to keep trying and get better without judging yourself after each practice.
Practice takes time to learn anything. Uts worth it has changed my life . Maybe one day you will need it.
and thats why we need to meditate
Same
seeing his meditating technique I am impressed very much. It is way that forms a very strong bond, relationship between us and our Universes, Almighty, Galaxy
Meditation should be a part of schooling.
Yoga and meditation both 🙏
School should be destroyed
OMG YES and sleep
@@crescentic_arts tell you're principal
@@crescentic_arts yeah 🤩😅
1:00 This video brought so much peace and clarity. Thank you for sharing this beautiful meditation experience!
With his accent and his wisdom and those ears he is like a real life Master Yoda and I'm loving it.
lol alot of tibetans talk like that
when i was 10 years old i accidentally read article about meditation then after i read it i do it everytime i have a free time and it is really change me now im 18 years old and still doing this great thing
I thougt i know what meditation means..i was wrong..and i learned a lot.. thank u very much
Thank you for getting straight to the point. I cant tell you how many other vids I’ve watched on how to meditate effectively, and most of them were just people speaking in ways i couldn’t understand, or just beating around the bush
What an amazing lesson in such a short amount of time! Thank you so much, beginning meditator here and I had been having these exact concerns. Have a blessed life!
sarcasm ????
His voice makes him sound as though he enjoys making these UA-cam videos , there very peaceful 👍🏻💖😊🌸
You and Alan Watts are on repeat for hours, thx for deciding to be a bodhisattva and share ur wisdom and insight! Keep it up man, I think the world in general is finally ready to wake up and explore beyond what's seen directly in front. 🍃☘
0:18 perfect demonstration of awareness. Got present at once when video started.
Love this meditation ...Another great quote ..“The thing about meditation is: You become more and more you.” David Lynch
what comes to your attention is awareness. everything is your awareness as long as it in your attention while you conscious.
If you pay attention for your attention, that is your awareness. what ever your awareness is, it is a support for your meditation, as long as your not defying it as not. But that is also a support.
if you read this, just know your awesome
I’m here to tell you, you deserve best
Live your life fullest, hard time’s also awesome because you awesome 😎
Thank you ❤ I didn’t realise I’ve been fighting my own meditation for years now I know to listen
and not avoid
Shoutout to India thanks for this great practice .... Expressing my gratitude towards all Indians
We appreciate it
I was having a hard time meditating but I guess the universe had the answer and I am glad that I got this advice. Thank you 🙏🏽💜
Just come to india , u will be blissful
I started practicing meditation a few years ago. Now it comes easy. I learned alot about myself in the process and now i try to tell everyone i know they should meditate.
James Woods why
Why do you ask why
I don’t even remember. Why would I ask why 😂?
I meditate by accident all the time, so I want to master it, I looked up a video, and this came up. Ty for guiding me through!
Honestly, I find it interesting that such a simple video helped me to relax and feel like I am actually winding down. Thank you deeply, this is helping me overcome my anger and sadness more then I’d expect.
Yes indeed, I’ve been meditating for just over a week and I can already see an improvement in my mental health I’m so surprised how effective meditation is
Great, succinct, to-the-point observation, sir. We sometimes have the tendency to adorn meditation with unnecessary floral descriptions and procedures. Meditation, in its most naked and simplest practice, bears the best fruit. Thank you.
Wow I love this man! Such great energy. ❤ So genuine and positive thank you my friend you added happiness to me and my day! Peace be with you!
Amazing video
the best things worth explaining can usually be explained in less than ten minutes if they are clearly taught, without bias or distraction. Like this.
I'm schizophrenic can meditation help
wow 222 likes I claim that positive energy
Namaz or praying to allah is a beautiful things
It makes us so humble and also stops us from committing sins because it reminds us next after few hours of day we again need to bow down before our creator .
And also after namaz the soul' is cleaned from all the impurities like greed or jealous etc
It is like a sunshine in the heart
The guyver i feel like i am too fr
Thank you for making these videos short. It actually helps a lot to be able to just get the idea. Pay attention for that moment and really take in the advice.
Longer videos sometimes make me lose focus.
We all deserve to happy.
Thanks to this video, I was able to focus more on me to meditate
Try guru siyag siddha yoga automatic meditation and thank me latter

MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR VOTRE EXCELLENTE DEFINITION DE LA MEDITATION
NAMASTE
MANA ALOHA

Thank you for not trying to sell complex, unnecessary techniques. The way you put it, I meditate a lot. I am always thinking about my thoughts, I breathe and try to be present. That other crazy quantum mechanics stuff drives me nuts. Thank you!
He has such a sweet disposition! I appreciate this video so much ✨
Meditation is something in which one can hear their own voice and also know their own thought whatever they think. Maybe we can forget what we think while meditating but sometimes we make our thoughts better than before.
Thank you so much GURUJI. Because of you I can clear all Doubt about meditation. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Many times 🙏🙏🙏
i have been looking for guidance on meditation, and finally i found this video today, complete and perfect for me. Awareness, clear explanation, yes, to do list pops up in my mind when i meditate, and i can do meditation only when i am travelling in metro,no one to disturb...
I want to learn how to meditate so bad! I am 46. I also have severe ADD. I have entire life. I get so distracted everytime I try. I'm glad I found your channel. Perhaps your videos can help me. Also, if anyone reading this has any words of wisdom or advice, I would love to hear! Thank you!
I also want to meditate as well and I’m scared that I might mess up but I really need it. You can do it I know you will ❤ Have a good day 😊
He’s super cute lol the pure beauty in his soul as he expresses himself 😌🙏💖
Cute just because u saw people reacting for his video .....
@@adams01234 I think you need to articulate your words better because I? At this rate, confusion. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you very much for your explanation. It helped me understand it better.
Thank you His Holiness. You have made meditation SO much more accessible for me!!!!!
Your art of talking is sooooooo nice 😊
You are love and this is beautiful 🤗
Ahhh man… this guy is truly a blessing! I just implemented what he recommended when meditating… I feel so good! 🙏🏾😊
