Tom is a badass...thank God for TH-cam and his channel. Lifechanging interviews. Tom does his homework on his guest and he always seems to ask the right questions, also practitioner of what he had learned!
Wow! harsh dandylion@@talksolot...actually she seems way better than most of these conmen\women trying to sell real estate on the astral plain. He approach matches the best practices that I have come across in the last 42 years.
Meditation is a vacation we take for our brain. I love this idea. Thoughts are not the enemy, effort is. This interview just strengthen my views towards meditation. Thank you for this Tom
Or rather, one must first realize that the outer world is a reflection of their inner world. Meaning, there's nothing at all to be conquered except for oneself.
Following Emily's advice of exercising daily with twice daily meditation, it is working for me. I've built up to this over a month, with lovely reminders from Emily daily, having listened to many of her videos. I find her meditation so easy to follow, Emily's voice is soothing and so natural to listen to. ❤ I love how I feel following each mediatation and finding improvements in my everyday life. ❤❤ I am handling my daily life and relationships through a calmer lense, sleeping better and feeling joyful, gratitude, and a greater sense of fulfillment. 🧘♀️ So happy to have come to this with the recent changes happening in my life.
I don't know why this is... But I never know how to start meditation or who to listen to. But you somehow made me realise it really doesn't matter as long as whatever you're listening to is helping you. There is no right it wrong way.
I'm reading her book "Stress Less, Accomplish More" and have seen the masterclass about meditation in MindValley. I just loved this woman. Her passion is incredible. And she is a very funny gal. Thanks for this interview!
I love this woman style of meditation and how she does it to get people better at life. I meditate with her every night and morning and I feel extremely well.
With all the hustling and grinding, don't forget to pause for a moment. Sometimes, all you need is some fresh air and a clear mind. Your mind can get so cloudy with all of the things happening in just one day. Give yourself a favor and try to meditate for a few minutes. Almost everything will work back at its best again if you unplug it and let it rest for a bit... including you! As we hustle everyday, we do take a few minute breaks each day to help get back on track amidst all the chaos in our days as an entrepreneur. :D Let me just share with you guys. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. We just graduated college as well. We started a cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. We were living in our car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.
My family and I take yoga together, we meditate in yoga, and my kids say affirmations daily (one more than the other..ha ha ha). I meditate, visualize, and exercise daily...I will say this...when I started all of this daily...and kept it up...I found peace and stability in my life like never before. Truly, all that you ever need is already inside of you. By stripping away the stories, thoughts, feelings, and energies of negativity...your philosophy of life will change. You change the way you look at things...and those things in return change. Failures become blessings for the teacher they can bring. Fear can fade away and I actually fall asleep smiling. The kicker for me was one day I woke up and my mouth was sore and I knew I had been smiling in my sleep. When that it me, I was totally changed. Im no monk, Im not perfect, but I am in peace now. I went through hell to get there...but now...all I want to do is help others feel like I do!

@@VishalRaoOnTH-cam Your body and mind are not used to operate like this. Its better to fall asleep than to distract yourself from meditation. Always choose the uncomfortable way if you want to benefit from meditation. Instead of thinking the same thoughts everyday, focus your attention only on your breathing, every single foot step instead of other people. This way you dont give your power away through distractions or negativity. Everything new feels uncomfortable but you will benefit from it once you get used to it. It only takes one breath and your are back in flow. Listen to this every morning or evening. Teach your Brain To Manifest Your Dreams by dr. Dispenza.
To the skeptics, if someone buys her course and can relatively quickly start making transformations in their life, isn't that worth it? I mean, you can argue how the same information is all free, It's on the internet, or it's just TM and I get that. But she's taken the time to package it all up, give it a unique implementation and help people out. I don't see a problem with that. There is value in it.
I've been doing TM for 40 years...she seems good to me. A good outlook on the process which makes a change in a world full of wellness sharks and self-made gurus.
@@hernanschillaci2594 Mindvalley has a course with her called the M Word. I believe its $250 or $299 if you watch the masterclass. But yes I started with her book, and still do the meditation from it. It's life-changing. I recommend the book on audible.
I mean Tom, my man, THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE CHANNEL ON YT AND EVERY SHOW IS JUST AAAMAZING! I just can't get enough of the mind blowing ideas that I've heard on your shows! I'm so grateful for you! The quality of the people that you bring on the both shows is just WOOOOOW! You're a Godsend and I'm so so happy that I've found this GEM in the sea of crap that we get to see every single day! Keep it going and never stop, cause you're just made for this, and belive me when I say that YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPORTANT IMPACT on this world and showing people the way a show is supposed to be done ! Sending you and Lisa a warm hug from a cold and rainy Switzerland 🙋♀️🤗 Love you both! Xoxos
Tom, cold shower talk, my mantra in that situation is Wow “I am so grateful to be a human being having an experience!” Literally, that is what I tell myself when that water hits and then I breathe and repeat and have the experience.
Thank you Tom for consistently uploading such insightful content. I started practicing the miracle morning routine and my days have turned more positive and productive. Meditation is the next step, will get there slowly but surely. Thank you!!
This episode seems more engaging than most of the videos I've seen on your channel & I think it's because Tom is giving more personal feedback on the topics Emily is explaining. Don't get me wrong, I love the Impact format, how deeply Tom listens & usually comes in with a question for the guest only to clarify meaning or move them on to the next point in the discussion. I find that Tom relating his personal experiences regarding the guests' ideas makes the show feel warmer & more conversational.
Re: cold showers - I have tried and tried and tried more. What made the difference to me was to start on warm and gradually make the water colder ...it gets easier and easier with time . Now even if it is super cold, the "sting" only lasts a few seconds. after that it feels like warm water to me.
Emily's message to mediate MORE is really important. I am deeply passionate about meditation and practice daily 1-2 times a day. I agree that many people do some but not enough. I came up with saying for friends... i don't just meditate 1 day in a 100... i meditate a 100 days out of a 100!! I found that gives people a good picture about how much they could step it up, and its a good affirmation for myself too. It still took 1-2 years before i really started getting deep benefits but now its amazing and i can relax so much more and stay very chilled almost all the time, Once you get that good and consistent, it really is life changing and amazing. Her point that by saving some sleep time you easily get back the 20-30mins investment daily is gold as well.
Watching videos like this are really useful. At first, it seemed a barrier that i need to enrol in the Ziva course. This video is a really good way to give a preview. Then i actually did the meditation course. (And it really changed my life.) And this video is still useful because you ask questions that shed even more light on the topic. So i watched it again. Thanks Tom!~
I needed this and had even been asking the universe for answers to a few of the questions that were immediately answered in this interview. Thanks for another great episode Tom!! And thank you to your guest 🙏
Sounds like TM to me... and the whole thing around ‘accepting’ your thoughts and not getting anxious about them, while meditating, is not her idea... it’s TM 101. As someone who is an advocate of meditation, I’m thrilled to see it as a topic on your show. I’ve been enjoying Impact Theory since the beginning and start most days watching an episode. Thanks to you and your team!
TM came from Hinduism and whatever else before that. No one really owns this stuff and it becomes problematic when people come along and try to own or identify their personalities with this stuff as if they invented it. None of this wisdom is really new under the sun. Unfortunately, western practice only goes far enough to say “we want to relieve your stress!” Instead of going to the root and depth of realizing who we really are. If you don’t know who you are or why you are here, and just going to the middle of the story like “let’s relieve stress!”, you don’t have the whole picture and you’ll always need the next technique or the next talk show guest to present you with the next business product to buy to make your life better. You will only truly live your life when you realize the truth of who you really are. Without that, no amount of “stress relief” techniques will satisfy you.
OMG! When Emily says "I'm actually God pretending to be human" at 47:08 that was a true Aha! moment for me! That is so true! there is nothing limiting us from experiencing that what she says. literally every human is born with this capability to experience this.
Tom, the former middle schooler within me is going to hate me for even saying this, but can you start giving us homework assignments and asking us to post our results in the comments? It would be SUPER rad if you asked us to try implementing something that you're considering for yourself, based on the guest you have on. The idea of trying things alongside you and the IT community sounds amazing!
"We're actually giving your body rest that is 5 times deeper than sleep." Thank you, Emily, for that bold, unsubstantiated assertion. And thank you Tom, for not rigorously insisting that Emily substantiate that idiotic claim. And, for any bright challengers, no, dropping your metabolic rate, slowing your heart rate, and cooling your core temperature, does not warrant, explain, or justify the ludicrous 5-fold order of magnitude increase in rest that Emily claims.
Jake Mcgan it’s because it has been spoken about, tested and experienced by many people, so much that she feels relaxed enough to use that vocabulary. And Tom will have read so much about it that he too lets that slide. So that info is out there if you’d like to research, or train to experience yourself. You’ll need much less sleep and feel profoundly energised too, amongst many other benefits.
There's no doubting the benefits of meditation but rest that's *five times deeper than sleep?* Sources for this? Any studies whatsoever? This sounds like something which would encourage people to think meditation is an appropriate substitute for actual sleep.
I googled this. Not a single study anywhere to substantiate this, none that I could see anyway. Articles generally supporting what has been known about meditation but nothing remotely close to it being *five times deeper than sleep*. Joe Rogan would be on that like stink on shit
I learned about REALLY using my breathing for more than just oxygenation when I was about 20. Expanding both lung capacity and awareness was HUGELY IMPACTFUL on my quality of life.
Tom, great video. Emily is an incredible woman. Great podcast. Thank you for all that you are doing. I'm a screenwriter and listen every morning to one of your videos, my writing output has tripled AND the anxiety I've struggled with my entire life is more under control. Thank you!!!!
Tom , Willie the Idea Navigator.I study each day various subjects. Your show has become the one stop shop for the best Info Period. Delivery and Content World Class.
This was an incredible episode. I love the concept of surrendering and really letting go and using it as a tool for the betterment of life. Gives you a great insight of what meditation can really do to the mind. Thanks Tom for another awesome powerful episode.
the plastic caps at the end of shoe laces is the best analogy I've heard in the past few decades of living with a traumatic brain injury. missing the right hemisphere of my cerebral cortex leaves me with more of the left side of my brain. trying to do manual tasks with the nondominant hand ✋ is very draining and stressful on my mind body and spirit
This was one of my favorite episodes because I know I'm not getting the benefits out of meditation that I want because I keep "trying" to "do" meditation, rather than letting it happen. I bought the book!
Great conversation, nailed the questions and the new setup/chairs are awesome. Never heard this perspective on surrender and how to apply it to meditation. Thank you for putting on this show Tom, watching some of your episodes has really helped give me practical action steps to take during some tough times.
James Lucero Just follows traditional yoga from India or Qigong practice from China. These modern teachers are teaching old concepts and exercises that have been around for thousands of years.
I think that it's the language and verbiage that this new school teachers use to get thought my mind blockage. As soon as I hear religion eseotheric words I start getting very defensive.
I love this show and I really admire Emily for such hard work to become medication teacher and the knowledge she gained and practiced. The only thing I wanted to correct her on is Nishkam Karma Yoga interpretation. Nishkam means "without desire" so basically it means all action should be taken without any desire and that is what karma yoga is...
It's wonderful to promote meditation as part of a standard day for everyone. The way we speak about it though... "Five times deeper"..? What's the measure? "Nature wants us to be happy"..? Nature is not an entity that 'wants' anything for us; anthropomorphizing and romanticizing nature. All answers are metaphors rather than concrete and specific answers directly about the biology that Tom is asking about.
Valerie Ellis, don’t aks me, I’m just a palooka. I’m just watching it now so I’m trying to figure out what she’s on about. A distinction between mindfulness and meditation is interesting. 🙏😇
Valerie Ellis, on the upside, men of modest means have learned to be creative in their compensations. Check out, Kyle Cease (plenty of videos on TH-cam). He’s even more fuzzy in his science, but he brings a reassuring warmth to his fuzziness. His angle, sit for a good long time and listen to your heart. 🥴There, I said it! 🤣😂😇
Omg! 2 of my favourite people hanging out! Emily, I watched this to inspire me to meditate so I can finish my uni assignment successfully! About to meditate now! ❤️❤️❤️
As a meditator for over 20 years I can agree that meditation has changed my life. It is a great stress reducer, it does increase mindfulness and mindful living and has every benefit that is discussed in this interview. However, I wonder if the audience of Impact Theory and Tom Bilyeu are actually getting the full picture? This is the 2nd guest and actually one of many of the guests who advocate meditation that miss the main purpose of meditation, seeing things as they really are. Seeing things without the filter of the ego centric mind. Without that distinction even thought we meditate we can still have or attachments to fixed ideas and notions that can lead us down the wrong path with dipterous consequences. I will say that I am also a practicing Buddhist where many of the modern meditation and mindfulness practices come from but the divorce of Buddhist (and Vedic) teachings of morality and ego can lead to more mindful criminals and less stressed gangsters... I say that as a bit of a joke but not entirely. There have been many articles and discussions amongst the Buddhist community that mindfulness and meditation without the teachings behind it can lead to wrong mindedness while still being mindful and actually there are real life examples. I stress and urge Tom Bilyeu and Impact Theory to address this overbite and give the full picture of meditation. to not do so is misrepresenting meditation and can lead to harm. To get a better perspective on this subject here are a few articles. www.cbc.ca/radio/tapestry/mcmindfulness-how-capitalism-hijacked-the-buddhist-teaching-of-mindfulness-1.5369991?fbclid=IwAR2aJ9dzojQYZQV5tNGREFFVjA6xX50nGMIbO2GKWRsN_Ophp5h2hYD4A6M and theconversation.com/mindfulness-has-lost-its-buddhist-roots-and-it-may-not-be-doing-you-good-42526 For the best information on this subject please contact Bhante Sudasso bhantesuddhaso.com/?fbclid=IwAR3FZWCCcIWtRlCBcDhDO9RVlcYCQ5UHIcnSqFyukcDpO-au-Q5bWZegXoY or Ayya Yeshe www.bodhicitta-vihara.com/
I’m heading to Bali for 10 days this May with my girlfriend. I am planning on doing a bunch of yoga and meditation on this vacation to truly relax and enjoy it!
Thank you for your work and doing these interviews! "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It" by Kamal Ravikant is an excellent book and released me into my meditation practice. He also frees you from the "work" of meditation and not being worried about "mind wanderings"! Your work is appreciated Tom and Impact Theory Team!!
It’s wild that in 2019 we are questioning the validity and impact of meditation in any of its forms. It’s the “woo woo “ mindset that gets most of us in trouble because we’d rather take a drug or be forced externally to make changes in our lives.
I'm glad she was brave enough to mention Sanskrit ... If we don't watch it and site our sources all of these techniques will be done out of context and their efficacy will be lost to humanity in no time ... Thumbs up to the Emily for slipping that in.
A comment to that she said that the brain releases dopamine and you experience bliss; I have sometimes meditated deeply before sleep. I would be seriously tired, but with enough meditation I get almost high on the bliss that my body and mind is energized and then I have to spend another hour calming down. Meditation can be a tool to access your subconciousness like a search engine and most importantly be a platform to alter the things you want.
Tom is a badass...thank God for TH-cam and his channel. Lifechanging interviews. Tom does his homework on his guest and he always seems to ask the right questions, also practitioner of what he had learned!

Basically to conquer the world, one must first conquer himself...
Everything is connected and oneself is always the starting point.
Dude, that's deep.
..Or more like, .. one must first surrender to oneself. lol
Or rather, one must first realize that the outer world is a reflection of their inner world. Meaning, there's nothing at all to be conquered except for oneself.

What’s the process? Or do we have to buy the book and purchase her courses
I'm reading her book "Stress Less, Accomplish More" and have seen the masterclass about meditation in MindValley. I just loved this woman. Her passion is incredible. And she is a very funny gal. Thanks for this interview!
How’s your meditation?
How was the course on MindValley?
What did you think of the book? Does it actually teach you how to do her meditation? Would be grateful for any info. Thank you 🙏
Yes the book teaches you how to meditate she simplifies thousands of years worth of info and makes it easy to digest
I love this woman style of meditation and how she does it to get people better at life. I meditate with her every night and morning and I feel extremely well.
when Emily speaks I go into meditative State. she is a very amazing speaker.
You have the kindest intros in the world. I really enjoy your style of interviewing
Even before she says a a word, you can see the mindfulness and presence in her expression.

Wow 🤩 I’ve always loved Emily Fletcher. Because she is the person who turned me on to meditation 🧘 first years ago
"If you're meditating twice a day and exercising at least once a day, you're life is going to be amazing"
Hmmm, I'll try this and update in 6 months
Please do
Yes, please update us!
Did you start ? :)
How is it going so far?
The update!
Meditation might be the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! I think everyone should be taught to meditate in school
I love seeing Emily EVERYWHERE!!! Thank you Tom!!!
This is the best description of my experience with transcendental meditation - Fletcher is super articulate on this.
Re: cold showers - I have tried and tried and tried more. What made the difference to me was to start on warm and gradually make the water colder ...it gets easier and easier with time . Now even if it is super cold, the "sting" only lasts a few seconds. after that it feels like warm water to me.

As someone who is an advocate of meditation, I’m thrilled to see it as a topic on your show.
I’ve been enjoying Impact Theory since the beginning and start most days watching an episode.
Thanks to you and your team!
TM came from Hinduism and whatever else before that. No one really owns this stuff and it becomes problematic when people come along and try to own or identify their personalities with this stuff as if they invented it. None of this wisdom is really new under the sun. Unfortunately, western practice only goes far enough to say “we want to relieve your stress!” Instead of going to the root and depth of realizing who we really are. If you don’t know who you are or why you are here, and just going to the middle of the story like “let’s relieve stress!”, you don’t have the whole picture and you’ll always need the next technique or the next talk show guest to present you with the next business product to buy to make your life better. You will only truly live your life when you realize the truth of who you really are. Without that, no amount of “stress relief” techniques will satisfy you.
BV the Sage what are we and what are we here to do?
What is TM?
So true. This literally is just TM 101. What a clever woman to rebrand it as something she's invented
I'm beginner of meditation, it's really something weirdly peaceful.
I'm like full of me now bcz I don't search anymore outside material things.....🙏🙏
ur cute
She radiates joy.. so sympa and cool. Absolutely loved her!
20 minutes in... the way that Tom explained his view of meditation was immaculate 💞💯✨💫 the way he broke it down in relationship with himself 👏
I absolutely love this lady. She speaks so much sense. I highly recommend her book which I am reading. 🙏🏻👏🏻❤️
Did anyone else feel calmer after watching this?
OMG! When Emily says "I'm actually God pretending to be human" at 47:08 that was a true Aha! moment for me! That is so true! there is nothing limiting us from experiencing that what she says. literally every human is born with this capability to experience this.
Tom, the former middle schooler within me is going to hate me for even saying this, but can you start giving us homework assignments and asking us to post our results in the comments? It would be SUPER rad if you asked us to try implementing something that you're considering for yourself, based on the guest you have on. The idea of trying things alongside you and the IT community sounds amazing!
I've had this same thought...what if we had a special worksheet for each episode?
Love how the time stamps are in description. Fkn genius.
Yeah, it's very useful. Haven't seen anyone else doing it.
there is something in smart, beautiful woman ins their 40's that really attract me man!!
She is beautiful!
Tell me about it .
Ikr, like teach me a lesson mami 😩😩😩
She's not in her 40s. You should actually listen to the interview and you may find her even more attractive.
@@TheWsteed she had a baby at 39, she's most certainly 40 by now.
@@mariaizaurralde Welp, looks like I too fell under the spell of another muse in her 40s, lol
I can't believe we are listening to this lady for free
Wow what a beautiful concept. To live in a world where we meditate together before a holiday/everyday gathering
"We're actually giving your body rest that is 5 times deeper than sleep."
Thank you, Emily, for that bold, unsubstantiated assertion. And thank you Tom, for not rigorously insisting that Emily substantiate that idiotic claim. And, for any bright challengers, no, dropping your metabolic rate, slowing your heart rate, and cooling your core temperature, does not warrant, explain, or justify the ludicrous 5-fold order of magnitude increase in rest that Emily claims.
Jake Mcgan it’s because it has been spoken about, tested and experienced by many people, so much that she feels relaxed enough to use that vocabulary. And Tom will have read so much about it that he too lets that slide. So that info is out there if you’d like to research, or train to experience yourself. You’ll need much less sleep and feel profoundly energised too, amongst many other benefits.
There's no doubting the benefits of meditation but rest that's *five times deeper than sleep?* Sources for this? Any studies whatsoever? This sounds like something which would encourage people to think meditation is an appropriate substitute for actual sleep.
@@empressah888 "Tested...by many people." Sources?
I googled this. Not a single study anywhere to substantiate this, none that I could see anyway. Articles generally supporting what has been known about meditation but nothing remotely close to it being *five times deeper than sleep*. Joe Rogan would be on that like stink on shit
Oh boy Tom! Great interview with Emily. I am intrigued! What a perfect time in my life to add this to my weekly habit. Thank you both!
Neil Wood make it daily habit not weekly. Great app you might wanna try is “Headspace “
I learned about REALLY using my breathing for more than just oxygenation when I was about 20. Expanding both lung capacity and awareness was HUGELY IMPACTFUL on my quality of life.
I am so diving further into Emily Fletcher's work now. Thank you both!
Amazing episode, the way she describes this is amazing. Such beautiful, contextual analogies for real people. Thanks a lot, much love!
What she's describing *verbatim* is Transcendental Meditation.
Tom, great video. Emily is an incredible woman. Great podcast. Thank you for all that you are doing. I'm a screenwriter and listen every morning to one of your videos, my writing output has tripled AND the anxiety I've struggled with my entire life is more under control. Thank you!!!!
Tom , Willie the Idea Navigator.I study each day various subjects. Your show has become the one stop shop for the best Info Period. Delivery and

This was an incredible episode. I love the concept of surrendering and really letting go and using it as a tool for the betterment of life. Gives you a great insight of what meditation can really do to the mind. Thanks Tom for another awesome powerful episode.
the plastic caps at the end of shoe laces is the best analogy I've heard in the past few decades of living with a traumatic brain injury. missing the right hemisphere of my cerebral cortex leaves me with more of the left side of my brain. trying to do manual tasks with the nondominant hand ✋ is very draining and stressful on my mind body and spirit
Love emily fletcher! Read her book it's awesome!
Thank you
One of the most interesting information I've heard in quite a while ... I am definitely gonna buy her book.
Brains and beauty. Wonderful combination. Love the “tool of meditation”. I train daily not as identity but discipline and self fulfillment
Tom you're always the best at what you are doing here. Thank you so much. 😎 I'm a dude fan.
Get the snake diet guy on
I literally just finished meditating and this new vid came to my phone today as it was created right after i fiinshed
you are chosen
This was one of my favorite episodes because I know I'm not getting the benefits out of meditation that I want because I keep "trying" to "do" meditation, rather than letting it happen. I bought the book!
Great conversation, nailed the questions and the new setup/chairs are awesome. Never heard this perspective on surrender and how to apply it to meditation. Thank you for putting on this show Tom, watching some of your episodes has really helped give me practical action steps to take during some tough times.
Thank you for this video.
Between this, Joe Dispenza and Wim Hof I'm preparing my body and walking into a new reality.
James Lucero Just follows traditional yoga from India or Qigong practice from China. These modern teachers are teaching old concepts and exercises that have been around for thousands of years.
I think that it's the language and verbiage that this new school teachers use to get thought my mind blockage. As soon as I hear religion eseotheric words I start getting very defensive.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL TOM. Thanks for all of your content and being a part of my journey!
I love this show and I really admire Emily for such hard work to become medication teacher and the knowledge she gained and practiced. The only thing I wanted to correct her on is Nishkam Karma Yoga interpretation. Nishkam means "without desire" so basically it means all action should be taken without any desire and that is what karma yoga is...

YES!!!!! Thank you, Emily Fletcher!
Thanks Tom for bringing Emily Fletcher.
Meditation really transformed my life☺
I don't know what's the definition of meditation. But it helps me to get more clarity in my life.
Thank you! I took so much from this talk. Life changing!!!
It's wonderful to promote meditation as part of a standard day for everyone. The way we speak about it though...
"Five times deeper"..? What's the measure?
"Nature wants us to be happy"..? Nature is not an entity that 'wants' anything for us; anthropomorphizing and romanticizing nature.
All answers are metaphors rather than concrete and specific answers directly about the biology that Tom is asking about.
You could stay that it is in the nature of living things to function optimally in an overall state of homeostasis.
And it would be marvelous to say it so accurately @@JohnnyArtPavlou ...in a way that you could build intelligent conclusions from.
Valerie Ellis, don’t aks me, I’m just a palooka. I’m just watching it now so I’m trying to figure out what she’s on about. A distinction between mindfulness and meditation is interesting. 🙏😇
@@JohnnyArtPavlou you're too modest.
Valerie Ellis, on the upside, men of modest means have learned to be creative in their compensations.
Check out, Kyle Cease (plenty of videos on TH-cam). He’s even more fuzzy in his science, but he brings a reassuring warmth to his fuzziness. His angle, sit for a good long time and listen to your heart. 🥴There, I said it! 🤣😂😇
Omg! 2 of my favourite people hanging out! Emily, I watched this to inspire me to meditate so I can finish my uni assignment successfully! About to meditate now! ❤️❤️❤️
As a meditator for over 20 years I can agree that meditation has changed my life. It is a great stress reducer, it does increase mindfulness and mindful living and has every benefit that is discussed in this interview. However, I wonder if the audience of Impact Theory and Tom Bilyeu are actually getting the full picture? This is the 2nd guest and actually one of many of the guests who advocate meditation that miss the main purpose of meditation, seeing things as they really are. Seeing things without the filter of the ego centric mind.
Without that distinction even thought we meditate we can still have or attachments to fixed ideas and notions that can lead us down the wrong path with dipterous consequences.
I will say that I am also a practicing Buddhist where many of the modern meditation and mindfulness practices come from but the divorce of Buddhist (and Vedic) teachings of morality and ego can lead to more mindful criminals and less stressed gangsters... I say that as a bit of a joke but not entirely. There have been many articles and discussions amongst the Buddhist community that mindfulness and meditation without the teachings behind it can lead to wrong mindedness while still being mindful and actually there are real life examples. I stress and urge Tom Bilyeu and Impact Theory to address this overbite and give the full picture of meditation. to not do so is misrepresenting meditation and can lead to harm. To get a better perspective on this subject here are a few articles. www.cbc.ca/radio/tapestry/mcmindfulness-how-capitalism-hijacked-the-buddhist-teaching-of-mindfulness-1.5369991?fbclid=IwAR2aJ9dzojQYZQV5tNGREFFVjA6xX50nGMIbO2GKWRsN_Ophp5h2hYD4A6M and theconversation.com/mindfulness-has-lost-its-buddhist-roots-and-it-may-not-be-doing-you-good-42526 For the best information on this subject please contact Bhante Sudasso bhantesuddhaso.com/?fbclid=IwAR3FZWCCcIWtRlCBcDhDO9RVlcYCQ5UHIcnSqFyukcDpO-au-Q5bWZegXoY or Ayya Yeshe www.bodhicitta-vihara.com/
This was soooo enlightening. I want to learn how to mediditate like that. How did I only find this today? How?? Thank you for this interview.
She is definitely worth learning from!!!
Yup right on, letting go and taking time to simply be is liberating
I love this channel! 🔥🔥🔥
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS there are better ways to get new TH-cam subs than commenting on every video on the platform. Please stop.
MichihiroHonda He comments on every personal development video I’ve watched. I don’t know how he does it. And he never responds to comments.
taoist40 he must spend 18 hours a day posting comments on other channels. All in an attempt to get people to subscribe to his own channel.
Amazing talk, I can’t wait to read her book !
I’m heading to Bali for 10 days this May with my girlfriend. I am planning on doing a bunch of yoga and meditation on this vacation to truly relax and enjoy it!
Just love Tom ... and now Emily too ...
Tom is an amazing interviewer
Great stuff, need to start maditation.
Thank you for your work and doing these interviews! "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It" by Kamal Ravikant is an excellent book and released me into my meditation practice. He also frees you from the "work" of meditation and not being worried about "mind wanderings"! Your work is appreciated Tom and Impact Theory Team!!
It’s wild that in 2019 we are questioning the validity and impact of meditation in any of its forms. It’s the “woo woo “ mindset that gets most of us in trouble because we’d rather take a drug or be forced externally to make changes in our lives.
misterbobdobalina and there are ppl in the comments also hating it because she talks about climate change too🤦🏻♀️😂
LOVE LOVE LOVE your show!
Thank you both for this. Started meditation a few days ago and now to see this affirms my decision to make it a daily habit. =)
These things are so underrated and can truly change your life...
I'm glad she was brave enough to mention Sanskrit ... If we don't watch it and site our sources all of these techniques will be done out of context and their efficacy will be lost to humanity in no time ... Thumbs up to the Emily for slipping that in.
Except that it was wrong and she doesn’t have the background or understanding.
A comment to that she said that the brain releases dopamine and you experience bliss; I have sometimes meditated deeply before sleep. I would be seriously tired, but with enough meditation I get almost high on the bliss that my body and mind is energized and then I have to spend another hour calming down. Meditation can be a tool to access your subconciousness like a search engine and most importantly be a platform to alter the things you want.
