Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche from the bottom of my heart I think you doing great job teaching people meditation. I wish all the world could experience the benefits of meditation. Keep it up, you are great, and people need you.Take care of yourself in this difficult time and much love to all of you. Peace :)
Awareness is deep within you, that is our true self. example, if you're in pain because stomach ache, if you're not aware you will just react to the pain and emotions of feeling hurt. but if you're aware, your awareness will tell you " oh, stomach pain, oh its ok, i just ate something bad it will pass soon" see the difference? if you have awarenes and conscious, the thoughts and Emotions cannot Slave you.
You are very appreciated and you have taught me so much from your videos more than I could have ever imagined I am so very grateful the Universe led me here to you my friend🙏🏼 Today I am friends with my panic and my panic has finally left me heehee! 🧘♀️☮️🧘♀️ Namaste🙏🏼
I just watched the video about two types of awareness you have uploaded 6yrs ago. Now I know what being aware of your awareness (or recognise your awareness) means. Thanks you. Currently still reading into 3 brains in your first book.
@@sabitamahela I guess consistent practicing meditation. If you are a beginner 5 min for 30 days. Don't look for awareness just let it be. If you can recognize your mind wandering away, then it's a good thing, that you have recognized the mind is wandering, Rinpoche said, it's that "aha I wondered away" which is the beginning step into that thing call Nirvana or Buddha nature. I find it that if can't get into meditation mode (I.e. your mind is constantly wondering , e.g a bad day) then do some intense cardio before you sit down. Btw you can just Google rinpoche's name and learn it directly on TH-cam. His guide is absolutely essential, otherwise you can meditate for 10 years and not knowing what you are doing.
We are in a time of great transformation. The inpouring of light is accelerating the need to strengthen our spiritual immunity and become a positive force of change to help our entire planetary body to heal. We are each being called to step forward into greater self-responsibility and infuse the pre-existing energy fields with our spiritual light to create new configurations. Light is not the absence of darkness; it is the fluid and dynamic essence of life. Being a light worker is a task for the committed, not a hobby of convenience. It is time to extricate ourselves from the many illusions we have developed about ourselves and the world in general. The more you call home the parts of yourself that have become separated for whatever reason, and find a way to accept them into your heart, the more vibrant your light body becomes. The very thoughts that you are entertaining at this moment shape your future. This applies to every moment and all the moments that follow.
@@sabitamahela you are already connected with awarness all you need to do is be concious about awareness its like you have a gun in war but you forget you have gun and the moment u realize you have a gun boom you are awarness :)
@@avsar4716 @Adhi S how many times I have to realise? Because I always think "oh i m breathing" and after some second that sentence becomes just a word like mantra. Like I say i am breathing I am breathing I am breathing but actually I forgot that I am breathing.😂
@@sabitamahela Hmm I don't think I'm in a good position to explain but from what I get from this video is we have to be able to recognise our ability to recognise awareness. I think the essence of meditation is this I think. Most of the time we stop at "being aware of our own breath" but the goal is to realise that we can be aware of our own breath. And thus we can be aware of our own thoughts, feelings etc.
You’re welcome! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. If you have more thoughts or questions about awareness or any related topics, feel free to share!
When two people who look at the same leaves of a tree from different angles, the first person may see the cherry between the leaves and the other person may completely miss it but one tiny step to the right and the person see’s the cherry, that’s like awareness!
Mingyur The meditation is different today. Listening to ani choying dolma. First not outter space a dark clesd room just a three foot terra cotta head of I think Quan Yen. But very simple headress.. Then a room more like the ani choying that begin s with the Buddist nun singing but in both place I was there but I was her? I think. I feel really sleepy sometimes I have to stop and dream. Now she is singing Om tare tu tare ture soha but Im with her behind her. Have to think about it. Thanks
Today I began meditation I had a hard time getting to outter space instead of darkness there was a golden light and on my right side was a tall elderly Chinese man with white hair tied on top of his head wearing a gold robe. He said. Ginger ginger ginger. I just had a sneezing allergy fit. You need more ginger tea and bay. Tumeric twice a day ginger tea 5 times a day. We want heaviest meal at noon. And soup soup soup for dinner. I asked about breakfast. 2 scrambled eggs and a 4 ounces any flavor yogurt. Only fruit for sweets. I m having a terrible problem with diarrhea. I ve been told when that happens my powers are growing. Thanks.
If we need to know the time... The watch can not tell us the time... we need to concentrate about watch So then we can know the time... at the moment also awareness (WoW) simple and simple
Hi it's me. Something new. Small illness. Sudden giant blood pressure. Couldn't get to the regular meditation space. Then. It became a red nebula and a gold nebula. Today pressure down red nebula and gold nebula large Budda gold in the middle. As I talked to Budda about what to do he changed to Pharoh then to Anunaki then to Budda. I asked why. He said I am infinity. He told me to paraphrase my Biblical messages so people can understand them better. More vegetables. Thanks
What then is that which recognizes awareness? Not recognizing awareness also implies that something is unaware in this moment but what is this something? What is it doing when it's not recognizing awereness? Is it the mind (all mental faculties)? Is it awareness itself?
What recognises awareness is the real you, you can't be aware of being unaware, the moment you realize you are unaware you become aware, but being aware of being aware is to recognise what you truly are, which is Awareness/Consciousness.
Hi Rimpoche I rely rely want to attend at one of 3 years retreat how to do ? For the moment I am practicing awernes meditation for 7 months .thank you.
hi thank you for your videos. I practice meditation but i struggle with ocd obbsesive thinking do you have any tips for repetitive thoughts. thank you so much
During meditation sessions: Do not fight them, do not feed them either. Remain as relaxed as you can and be aware of them, know what is happening in your mind, but don’t give any additional energy in either direction. Slowly, slowly they will start fading with the days going by and someday subside entirely Outside of meditation sessions: The more you invest in making your mind proud and happy with you in everyday life, the more it is going to willingly come to your aid in whatever form you might need it and offer concentration, creativity, etc without you having to try and squeeze it out of it. An extreme example of the opposite would be if you were to rob a bank - you would have constant worries about someday getting caught and trouble focusing even without OCD
@@bennettmccann9314 keep your eyes open, or try using sound for support, instead; I know some monks will drink green tea to keep them awake every now and then
recognize the awareness in your pain, impatience and anxiety (etc) that makes you want to stand up and then learn to let those sensations go. it takes a lot of practice
Do Yin Yoga will also help. Depending on each person, yoga can train people to sit into a meditative posture. I normally sit on a Zafu with my knees bent on both sides, my back straight. Now I can meditate for 30 minutes without my legs feeling extremely numb.

I’m a little lost. If you don’t recognize your own watch, the watch cannot tell you time? A watch is a watch, if it’s working it’s gonna tell you time regardless, so why would it matter whether or not I recognize it? I’m not being sarcastic, I literally am trying to better understand his analogy if anyone can please explain?
The analogy was that the watch has the capability of telling you the time but if you do not look at the watch, then you will not know the time. The watch telling the time is useless on your watch unless you look at it. Similarly, you cannot benefit from meditation unless you sink into awareness which is the only way you will get the benefit of all of the qualities of awareness.
I think it means you have a watch or somebody gave you a watch but you dont know its a watch, you dont recognise it a watch then if course you cant use it to tell the time. A watch has a dial with numbers, arabic, or Roman and two or three hands. You have evenn to learn how to tell the time, if not you cant tell the time. To be more clear, you have never seen, heard the sound of, touched, used a watch before, you have never cognised a clock and stored this cognition of a clock in memory, then if course you wont be able to REcognise it. This is cognitive psychology. If you have no cognition of a chair, you wont sit on one when you see it although you really want to sit down on something to rest. Another anology is if you have a big diamond but you dont know its diamond then you treat it like a piece of valueless rock and use it as a stand for a cooking pot or throw it around the house. Until someone tell you its diamond do you wow and appreciate it and may sell it for millions of dollars and buy a big house etc.
I meant to eat only one serving of chips out of family size bag, then after moment of mindlessness, I realized I just ate whole bag, 3000 cal. Part of me knew what I was doing (awareness), but mind was not processing what I was doing, then I realized what I was doing (recognizing awareness) That’s my interpretation
@@gerardjacques19 Me too, but even when you are under pressure you are aware, always take a moment to take a deep breath and realize that you are what recognises all the mess around you. If you are successful you find beauty even in the mess. Hope the best for you 🙏
When you are familiar with your awareness then you have lost awareness. To be aware is to be the beginner’s mind, fresh, like a tourist who is visiting a place for the first time everything is fresh and interesting. In contrast to a local who has been living in the locality for so long and everything is boring. Life is a flux like a fluid changing continuosly so with awareness you see things changing, your awareness is fresh always, because you have to be aware of new things at all times, even for a moment in time. When you get up in tge morning you dont get bored with the sun rising, the breakfast you eat altho you’ve seen these already countless times.
The quality of awareness is to know. Its the most precious thing of all. If you look at something and you gave no ability to know what it is then you cant operate at all. To know here means to process what you contact and have a perception of it. When you stand in front of a tree, if you dont have awareness you wont be able to form a picture of a tree on your retina, upside diwm first then reverse it in the brain and you see a tree. Seeing a tree is a common term for a spiritual experience of being aware of a tree. This thing called awareness without which visual consciousness cant be produced ie you cant see things outside you. Similarly awareness is to produce taste, smell, thought, sense of texture...without awareneness you dont “know “ the outside world.
For me it's become about knowing. Most of the time I'm on autopilot. I "know" what I'm doing but there I don't _know_ that I'm doing it. Sometimes though, I remember to be awake. And I see hands in front of me and a keyboard and the autopilot is still there, typing, but now I'm watching. That's what I meaning by knowing, it's the difference between the autopilot's knowing and _my_ knowing. I don't believe in mystical mumbo jumbo but the third eye is a great metaphor for it but because that's exactly what it feels like. An extra eye has opened and suddenly you're seeing things that you don't normally see. Of course you do see them, but you don't know that you're seeing them. :)
@@theoretickle2084 Imagine going to the movie and you see the blank white screen before the movie starts. after it starts very soon you dont see the screen anymore, because the movie has caught your attention. sometimes you snap out of it and you see the screen again, or the courtains hanging next to it etc. that is like awareness, the screen is always there, but you don't see it when you're caught up in a story. likewise your mind is telling you a story most of the time. you can start seeing it as such, when you practice meditation. to start try paying attention to your breath. it acts as an anchor to awareness. as soon as you notice that you don't focus on your breath anymore, take a note of what youre doing, like thinking or scratching your leg, and bring your attention back to the breath. that moment where you take the note of what you're doing is awareness. dont worry if you missed something, that is inevitable, instead try to catch the next one.
@@thejam800 Yes, I see that. The magic word, in this simplification (in the video) is the first time I've seen a ray of hope, as somebody who wants to med', but feels he cannot. I'll just keep trying. I think that the only time things get silly is when I give up, probably.
You recognise your awareness if you feel alert to whats going on . You know vety clearly whats going on. In other word you are sensitive to whats going on in your mind, your sensations, thoughts, emotions etc. and not carried away by any of those. You have to maintain that recognition. Its the result of long time meditation practice to establish and strengthen your mindfulness to always recognise your awareness. Not easy job, but knowing what is required you dont get disappointed easily, mindfulness building is slow, not easily perceptible, but accumulative.
This is only a preliminary teaching, just pointing out what something is. To know what something is is important. A student needs to search and research if he is really interested. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche has given many lectures giving instructions elsewhere around the world. Seek and you will find.
After many years of search, I find him summarizing such tough concepts in simplest way. I request you to consider watching lot of videos from his channel so that you could connect them.

For me it's become about knowing. Most of the time I'm on autopilot. I "know" what I'm doing but there I don't _know_ that I'm doing it. Sometimes though, I remember to be awake. And I see hands in front of me and a keyboard and the autopilot is still there, typing, but now I'm watching. That's what I meaning by knowing, it's the difference between the autopilot's knowing and _my_ knowing. I don't believe in mystical mumbo jumbo but the third eye is a great metaphor for it but because that's exactly what it feels like. An extra eye has opened and suddenly you're seeing things that you don't normally see. Of course you do see them, but you don't know that you're seeing them. :)

@@theoretickle2084 Imagine going to the movie and you see the blank white screen before the movie starts. after it starts very soon you dont see the screen anymore, because the movie has caught your attention. sometimes you snap out of it and you see the screen again, or the courtains hanging next to it etc. that is like awareness, the screen is always there, but you don't see it when you're caught up in a story. likewise your mind is telling you a story most of the time.
you can start seeing it as such, when you practice meditation. to start try paying attention to your breath. it acts as an anchor to awareness. as soon as you notice that you don't focus on your breath anymore, take a note of what youre doing, like thinking or scratching your leg, and bring your attention back to the breath. that moment where you take the note of what you're doing is awareness. dont worry if you missed something, that is inevitable, instead try to catch the next one.
@@thejam800 Yes, I see that. The magic word, in this simplification (in the video) is the first time I've seen a ray of hope, as somebody who wants to med', but feels he cannot. I'll just keep trying. I think that the only time things get silly is when I give up, probably.
You recognise your awareness if you feel alert to whats going on . You know vety clearly whats going on. In other word you are sensitive to whats going on in your mind, your sensations, thoughts, emotions etc. and not carried away by any of those. You have to maintain that recognition. Its the result of long time meditation practice to establish and strengthen your mindfulness to always recognise your awareness. Not easy job, but knowing what is required you dont get disappointed easily, mindfulness building is slow, not easily perceptible, but accumulative.
Why not provide some actual pointing out instruction?....if you actually want to be a helpful teacher.
This is only a preliminary teaching, just pointing out what something is. To know what something is is important. A student needs to search and research if he is really interested. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche has given many lectures giving instructions elsewhere around the world. Seek and you will find.
After many years of search, I find him summarizing such tough concepts in simplest way. I request you to consider watching lot of videos from his channel so that you could connect them.
What is that lol
That is what ?
Thank You 🙏
