Singapore
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2023
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are, and welcome to the Mindfulness Daily Practice. I'm Ryan Grimes in Singapore. Here you can find the recordings of past daily practices, which happen Live, almost every day on Insight Timer. The format for most days is 10 minutes of talking about a particular topic, followed by 15 minutes of meditation, and then a 5-minute wrap up. Feel free to skip to the part of the video that is most useful for you.
Emotions in the Body
As we get back to the basics, we will explore today how emotions manifest in the body and methods of being aware of them. When we can identify what we are feeling, we may have a chance to choose our next actions instead of being controlled by them.

Back to Basics
มุมมอง 49วันที่ผ่านมา
As we kick off the 2025 Live Streams, we return back to the basics and investigate what is mindfulness all about. We discuss its popularity years ago and its hype, but why its helpful to continue practicing now. Present moment awareness is a way to observe how the mind wants to wander and give a brief break to the uncontrolled imagination of the past and future we are often victims of.
The Wandering Mind
มุมมอง 13หลายเดือนก่อน
One of the key reasons we meditate is to observe the behavior of our untamed minds. Today we talk about meditation, its relation to the mind, and how to apply what we practice in meditation to our daily lives. 00:00 Meditation and Daydreaming 17:20 Body Scan Meditation 35:00 Closing and Chat Interaction 42:33 Well Wishes
Idealism Can Cause Suffering
มุมมอง 4หลายเดือนก่อน
*Recording was a bit glitchy today. Sorry for any frame breaks* I had an epiphany while driving today as I examined my reaction to traffic in Singapore, and I want to tell you what happened. Today we explore what kinds of idealism we have in our lives, and we will delve into how holding on to ideals can cause suffering especially when the ideal thing that we envision is out of sync with reality...
Fourth Sign of the Zodiac
มุมมอง 11หลายเดือนก่อน
Today we explore some of the themes of being alive through a beautiful poem by Mary Oliver called "The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac." In the poem, Oliver reflects on her own mortality after a cancer diagnosis, using imagery from nature and her inner experience to convey the fragility of life. 00:00 4th Sign of the Zodiac 10:15 Self-Compassion Meditation 29:35 Closing and Chat Interaction 43:23 Wel...

Thanksgiving Gratitude

It's that time of year where Americans are reminded to give thanks, and I thought it would be a good time to examine our lives and remember what it is that we have. Let's reflect on what has and is going right for us and take the time to appreciate it. 00:00 Intro 11:53 Gracious Body Scan Meditation 27:05 Closing and Chat Interaction 33:55 Well Wishes
Impermanence of Mental States
มุมมอง 92 หลายเดือนก่อน
We have recently talked about non-self. One of the main ideas surrounding the idea of non-self is that what we consider me, is something that is not permanent - we are in constant flux, so when we search for something that is me, the "me" that is there is different each time we look for it. Today we talk a bit more about our fluctuating mental state and how we can make peace with it. 00:00 Intr...
Movember and the poem "Bluebird" and its significance
มุมมอง 242 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm growing a mustache again, as it's something I can do to help bring awareness to men's mental health. Men often get overlooked or sometimes we men claim that we can do it ourselves, without support because that's still an expectation of society in many places. Of course, this isn't meant to minimize women's mental health in any way. I'd love to chat more, so please show up and let's talk abo...
Does Ritual Matter?
มุมมอง 142 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today I wanted to explore a bit about the rituals some of us may go through in not only our mindfulness practice but also our daily lives. What things do we adorn our bodies with, and what do they mean to us? Why do we follow routines? Do ceremonies put us in useful mindsets? Let's explore together! 00:00 Intro 14:45 Meditation on Breathing 30:30 Closing and Chat Interaction 37:40 Well Wishes
The Concept of Non-Self
มุมมอง 212 หลายเดือนก่อน
Last week I talked a little bit about the concept of non-self briefly, so I decided to go into a little more depth about this. What is the connection between our sense of self and the unsatisfactoriness we experience in life? How about letting go, impermanence and self? What about self versus other? These are all interesting concepts, so let's explore some of it together. I'd love to hear what ...
The Art of Letting Go
มุมมอง 82 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today I wanted to explore the process of letting go and how we practice it. We let go over and over again in our lives. Sometimes we are letting go of something small and other times we are letting go of something, well... Not so small. I'll walk you through my own practice of letting go and how often I have been letting go over these last few years. Hopefully my experience will help you let go...

What Happened to Me During the Jon Kabat-Zinn Retreat
Thank you Ryan. I believe that practising mindfulness as you describe does work. I have been able to become aware of difficult emotions in time to stop and choose a better response to deal with issues. It has frequently saved me from pointless conflicts. I do think I'm fortunate because during practising I don't often have difficult thoughts. My mind tends not be over busy. It took me a while to become aware of my thoughts. I now seem to recognise thoughts more easily.I do practise each day but not for 45 minutes. I try to approach life in a mindful way.I really appreciated your coverage of what isn't mindfulness today. It helped me greatly with my understanding of what mindfulness is. ❤
Thanks so much for this message, Sybil. Thanks also for sharing your own personal experience regarding mindfulness' effect on your life. You're forturnate that your mind is not overly busy. I think my mind has become addicted to thinking after all these years of churning! 😂
Hi Ryan. I'm so glad I was able to catch this session. It was a fabulous reminder of what mindfulness is. I do try to live my life mindfully. When I finally settled I was able to be focused on my body and the busy mind drifted away. Thank you Ryan .I enjoyed this. May you be happy. 😊😊❤
Thanks for your comment, Sybil. I'm glad you found it helpful. 😊
Thank you Ryan. I have definitely experienced what you talked about. I frequently dismiss unhelpful thoughts and move on . Happy break with your family.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Ryan .I really like this practice. I will revisit it.❤❤
I also hope to get into this topic more deeply. I have more reading and exploring to do. I'm surprised how a scientific understanding of the rise of ego meshes with this idea.
This is a topic I have reflected on and wrote about. It's a very interesting topic. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼💚
Thanks for your comment, Gracelight. Can you share some of your thoughts/writings? I'd love to hear the view of others on this topic.
I loved the movie 😍 thank you Ryan 🤍
Thanks for your comment, Gracelight! It's funny what we can learn from a kid's movie. ❤️
Thank you for the frankness of your experience. I appreciate it. I have also had a similar experience. Unsettling. I enjoyed a calm meditation. Thank you Ryan.❤🧜♀️
Thanks for sharing this, Sybil. It's good to know I'm not alone in my experience.
Thank you Ryan 🙏🏼🤍
Thanks for your comment, gracelight.
Thank you Ryan I enjoyed your explanation of this poem.There was so much in it.❤
Yes, this was such a rich one!
Thank you Ryan.❤
Thanks for your comment, Sybil. 💗
Thank you Ryan. Being with nature and quietly watching the sea and birds is special to me.🧜♀️🦋
There are quite a lot of poems about mindfulness and nature. I was considering reading a few of them, but I have leaned towards others instead. I may read those in the future, but I'm making room right now for my return from the retreat I will be having with Jon Kabat-Zinn. Thanks for you comment!
Thank you Ryan. I had a relaxing practice today with no intrusive thoughts. I do like the treasuring of life too.The best thing for me after practising mindfulness for so long now is the ability to be aware of my thoughts and having time to choose my actions.❤
Thanks for sharing this, Sybil. I also agree that this is so powerful, and I don't think before I started my practice I fully understood how important self-awareness is.
Ryan I like your content and your message but it would help if you spoke more clearly and with less filler words. Just want to give you some honest constructive criticism.
Thanks so much for this feedback, Sebastian. I agree with you completely. I'm working on speaking more fluently, and I hope my content in the future will reflect the work I have been doing there.
Thank you Ryan🙏
Thanks Blossom Piano!
Very important talk, thank you, Ryan 🙏🏽✨️💚
Thank you Iga.
Ah! Perfect 👌🏼🙂 thank you Ryan 🙏🏼
Thanks for commenting, Gracelight! See you again soon.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you Ryan.Now I'm in my 70s I can definitely only do 1 thing properly at a time. Multitasking is so stressful. I need to slow down, focus and get on with each task. 😂❤
I agree. Perhaps aging lets us give ourselves permission to slow down.
I love how you wish us happiness and peace. ❤
Thanks Sybil. The practice benefits me as well as you! 💗
I don't criticise myself. I notice my thoughts and think where they come from and let go focusing on my breath or nose etc. I'm with my granddaughters so thoughts about them kept coming forward. I was happy with how my mind did settle. Thank you Ryan.❤🦜🦋
Thanks for sharing!
I felt very calm. Started to feel sleepy. I needed to yawn by the end. I was totally focused. I had no random thoughts. My mind was so still.It was interesting. Thank you Ryan. ❤
Wow, so interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Ryan.🧜♀️🦋🌻
You are so welcome. 😊
Muchas gracias Ryan desde Madrid.
It's my pleasure, Manuel. 🙏
Brilliant and important information, Ryan, thank you so much for sharing! Great to hear that online mindfullness guidance helps so much with anxiety and stress 🙏🏽🤗💚
Thanks for your comment, Iga. I think it's important that we still to the mindfulness-based interventions that we know work for us.
Thank you Ryan. 🧜♀️🥰
Thanks for your support, Sybil.
Yes Ryan going over each attitude was excellent. A good reminder that we need to be aware of the value of our learned experiences.I love using beginners mind because I see more in my environment. I can be open to new or different ideas.I will listen to this session again. Thank you Ryan.❤🥰🧜♀️
Thanks, Sybil.
What a lovely way to start the practice 🙏🏼🤍 every breath is sacred, every moment, every day. 🧡
No time like the present! 😆
Thank you Ryan.🙏🥰
You're most welcome, Sybil. 🙏
I enjoyed my practice today. I like the idea of getting up 1/2 an hour earlier. . The morning is best but I do practice any time that I feel like.Thank you Ryan.I.enjoy meditating with you. Get well soon.🧜♀️🦜🥰
Thanks for your comment, Sybil. I'm not 100% yet, but I'm still planning to be live tomorrow! 👍
Gracias Ryan 🙏🏼🤍😌
Thanks for your comment, Gracelight!
I just try to stare at my breath. I'm distracted by pain which I.try to stare past.The pain seems to decrease. I can't stop the pain so I try to let it go. I don't think I'm striving. Just being present. I've noticed my breathing is calmer lately as I just know I'm going to keep breathing. Thank you Ryan. 😊🦜
Thanks for sharing, Sybil!
Sometimes life Gives it to you exactly what you need At any particular time For instance My dad died two months ago So I have been stuck In the grieving process Specifically let it go This was helpful
Thanks for you message, Trip. It's good to hear from you, even though the circumstances are ones of challenge. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you will heal soon.
I like the idea of using the out breath as letting go. .🦋
Thank you Ryan. I had a very relaxed session today. Gentle focused breathing. 😊🦜
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this.
Frankie is like the cat in the books The Dalai Lama's Cat by David Michie.I love these books. I was challenged today because my mind kept slipping into memories of my recent Tasmania Bus Tour. The animals I saw. The platapus and Tasmanian devils etc. I say I'm the watcher of those thoughts and focus again on the breath. Thank you Ryan 😊
Thank you, Sybil. 💗
In the longer silence time I noticed how my breath was constantly changing. Sometimes I felt a real need to breath more deeply .Suddenly I was alone with my breath. I'm pleased that I stayed relaxed until the bell. Thank you Ryan.❤
"Suddenly, I was alone with my breath." When I read that, it sounds wonderful to me, but I'm curious: can you go into more depth about what that was like for you?
It's a strange feeling of no thoughts! It's a bit unnerving because it's being on the edge of panic trying not to take charge of my breath.Definitely not feeling the emotion of panic.Letting it be. 🥰
Just nothing. I have had that feeling of nothing before. Very calm!.Silent. 🧜♀️
When there was silence I mostly had no thoughts. The couple of thoughts I became aware of were things I could deal with later. I don't think I judged them because I was aware that I didn't want to take that path.I put them to the side to continue focusing on on my breath. Thank you Ryan. The longer silences are useful for practising.
Thanks for your comment and for your presence, Sybil.
I had so many distractions today. Conversations in the background and the delightful smells of coffee. I did stay focused and kept those things in the background. I'm an atheist and still love finishing with the bowl sounds.Thank you Ryan.❤
Thanks for sharing this about the bowl, Sybil. I will consider this.
I enjoyed my meditation today. I felt relaxed and focused. Thank you Ryan. Today I had a huge pile of ironing. I decided to do it mindfully. I just focused on it. It definitely is more enjoyable to do one task at a time too.❤
Thanks for sharing, Sybil. I love it when mindfulness helps bring joy to the otherwise mundane.
Gracias 🙏🏼🤍
Thanks for watching, Gracelight.

This information about procrastination was perfect for me. I'm so empowered by your explanation. I struggle with procrastination. I have found it so annoying. I can see a way through after this talk. Thank you Ryan. The self compassion session was fabulous. I felt so relaxed and happy after it. ❤🙏🦋
Thanks for your comment, Sybil. I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful for you.
Thank you Ryan. I've wondered before about how to hang onto good ideas . I'm glad I've let them go. I had so many distractions. I'm pleased I managed to focus mainly on the breath to the end of time. Your directions were really helpful.🙏🥰🦜
I'm happy to hear that this was helpful.
Thank you for your guidance Ryan 🙏🏼🤍
