that may be one of the most impactful meditation sessions of my entire life. It's hard to explain but immediately after the breathing I felt tranquil and started to laugh without reason. I'll definitely be using this in my daily life from now on. Thanks, gamer.
Yes! I started laughing too! And I’m not a particularly expressional person either. I was definitely taken aback; my surprise caused me to laugh even more. Fascinating :)
This is like incredibly controlled and calm hyperventilating. its so much more effective than my instinctual hyperventilation at riding the anxiety, and then getting the sweet crash afterwards. why was I taught meditation was sitting and humming for a solid hour till you start floating?
If you liked this, another good form of controlled hyperventilation meditation is the Wim Hof method, which is actually an old yogic method but I don't know the original name for it, you can find it hear on youtube, its good stuff. Cheers man! Best of luck on your journey
It's cuz you learned meditation it second hand, my friend. Acutally not even second hand, more like second country: a whole science and tradition distorted in among many fronts, different language (sanskrit to english), different cultures trying to understand it and repackaging what semi-effective derivative they come up with as just as good, etc. It's best you learn this stuff by going straight to the source. Dr. K studied for 7 years in India to become a monk, so he's not too bad of a source himself.
The meditation you describe seems to be useful for most people, and I know sometimes it is for me, but when I am anxious or hyperactive I really can't disengage from my thoughts and listen to my body, I mean I can't even breathe properly!
Yeah it's actually what humans (often kids) do instinctively to calm down. You can notice this the most when they're crying or after they've cried. Though I believe that hyperventilation caused by anxiety is different because it generally emphasizes the inhales, which makes it worse. Rather than telling an anxious person to breathe deeply, it's better to tell them to exhale more longer as it calms the mind.
Alongside some pretty heavy face tingling. This just brought me to tears. I don't know if that's a bad thing or not. But extracting an emotional reaction like that with a simple breathing exercise is truly something else.
I thought that meditation was just closing your eyes and breathing, trying not to think about anything. this is what I needed for my anxiety. thank you so much
The attempt at not thinking anything can also give you anxiety. Because more often then not you’ll be thinking. The point is to not get lost in thought, but come back to the breath
I just started my new job as a teacher in my country and my anxiety levels are out of the charts right now. This video has become my most precious and needed experience. Thanks a lot.
I searched for Dr k guided meditation anxiety and found my way here. I was actively in a tears streaming down panic attack. There are still a few tears but they are almost crawling down my cheeks and the feeling like I'm going to have an aneurysm or heart attack has dissipated. The meditation guides have been life altering. Thank you for embracing your dharma Dr. K
please keep up your good content, even when you might feel the people are ungrateful, i can assure you that you helped atleast one human being out here. I benefitted from your guided meditation just as from your little insight to ayurveda, thank you honestly :)
There are other ways to show appreciation than just hitting the like button. But if you really want to hit the like button two times; make a second account ;)
@@zahiriously2347 too much of a hassle, you will waste more than 2 minutes to do that, and even if dr. k appreciate that, deep down he know himself that you shouldnt waste your time to just like a video 2 times.
I have a party to go to this afternoon, and for some reasson I feel really anxious. Could be something about the corona lockdown making it feel weird to finally see people. That's at least what I thought. But then I searched on "how to supress anxienty dr.k" on TH-cam and found this, god damn, I must say this really helped. I began crying afterwards in the important stage because I found out my anxiety comes from my time in highschool (When I was lonely), which changed after a year on boarding school were I learned to appreciate myself and found out that people did want to befriend me and not stick a knife in my back. For some reason, these thoughts suddenly comes up even though I have friends (in college now). Thank you Dr. K. Helped me realise something HUGE!
I really felt a lot better after and I was super anxious before. Thank you for checking in and being so kind and open. I’m hoping to talk to my students the way you talk to the chat.
Dr.k you are literally the best thing that has happened in my life in a long time. literally the only "thing" that I enjoy and want to getting involved in as a community. my life has change in some many ways... :) ty you for everything and tight hug from a stranger from Brazil :)
Thank you so much, I've never had such a bad anxiety in my life but recently it happened, and I tried taking a deep breaths to calm down but it didnt work. Then i tried yours and I was really surprised that it helps me to calm me down more!
You're amazing dude! I only discovered your channel last week and it's quickly becoming a personal favourite. Started with the video about gaming addiction (though my addictions are pot & other things), then the video on ADHD, and now your meditation tutorials. Amazing stuff. Thank you so much!!
This really helped me today. I tried the ego meditation and didn't feel much. Figured I'd check out the anxiety one because Dr K mentioned it in that vod. I went in blind and felt a lot of emotions come out after the breathing. I was crying, laughing, it was like magic. I'm so happy to have this in my toolkit now, thank you Dr K
Thank you so much, I am going through weed withdrawal and had my first panic attack because of it. This helped, the moment I did this I felt calm and relaxed, my anxiety has lessened dramatically from this. I have tried just focusing on my breath and breathing in and out and while it does reduce anxiety it is nothing like this method. When I tried it I started laughing at how normal I felt, thanks so much man.
thank you so much dr.k you are actually a big part of the things keepin me alive and i cant say more then thank you, u made me going to a therapist u let me feel better at days where i feel like im getting destroyed. u actually safe lifes! pls never forget that :)
It's amazing what our ancestors were able to discover about themselves and their minds just by consciously observing it. I urge skeptics to practice these techniques without judgement and see for themselves what result it produces for them because it is quite literally shocking.
Right? It's like you're more present now. All that shit you mind's been racing with is just gone. I feel so much more present or something, I don't even know how to describe it. I've been at peak stress for months and it's all just gone now.
All my life I've eschewed from the spiritual and, to a lesser extent, the emotional. But after spending a few days being the most anxious and depressed I've ever been, I decided to finally spend more time trying to achieve inner peace. My problems are nothing new, and I understand the cause, but the problem was I could not find a way to cope. I always thought it was as simple as not worrying, but there are certain things you cannot change, things you cannot avoid, things that you can't look away from... right now I feel like I've lost a part of myself, I can't look at the internet and feel like it's nothing but a distraction. Last week I would only go outside if I was forced, but now I feel the need to. Right now all I can think of right now is to move forward to a state where I am more at peace. I don't know how long this feeling will last, but right now, I feel more at ease.
This actually gave me tightening in my back, that led to a case of random giggling that felt so euphoric I questioned if I actually felt that or imagined it.
I started to cry because it has been so damn long since I felt like I did after the excercise, I really need to start therapy when the quarentine ends, thanks for the vid
I had an edible that was a little strong for me and this technique turned me from feeling panicky and dissociated to being extraordinarily mellow and grounded. I will definitely use this one in the future.
I found this video so useful. This is one of the most succinct and useful meditation videos I've seen. I found this nostril breathing technique particularly useful for me (versus just following my breath). I'm going to watch more for sure. Thanks for making this.
I noticed my self doing this subconsciously almost like a tick when I get very anxious. That was before this video I kinda get it know it was like my bodies defense mechanism for my crippling anxiety. It need a break from my mind
YES!! I also noticed this and it's cool you also experience that reaction as our bodies try to care for themselves. Super beautiful and interesting stuff.
When I saw Dr. K exhaling like that, I started giggling and it already works seriously tho I tried that and I felt I can sense my surrounding even more
This is a trip Dr. K. I came up with this method independently because I noticed it helped me achieve yawns and to satisfy "air hunger" during stress. I thought it was some weird OCD thing I developed. I would also tap my shoulder just before the yawn, which I've learned from you is a meditative technique to distract the mind.
Omg this is the first time I’ve come across the term “air hunger”. It just about perfectly describes my experiences. I never knew this was an actual thing that exists for other people. I’ve even googled the symptoms (things like “constantly need to take a deep breath”) to no avail so I always thought I must be imagining it. In fact I usually get “air hunger” when I focus or become aware of my breathing which is why meditation never helped me relax and surprisingly it didn’t happen with this meditation technique.
Meditation is usually very frustrating for me, but I really like this one. After a moment or two when I got the hang of it, I finally experienced what it's like to be in a meditative state. It feels so nice.
I needed a meditation after a stressful day. I followed along and during the resting bit, I noticed my shoulders were practically at my ears. At each rest point I was able to reduce tension in my shoulders. Otherwise I didn't even notice the physical change (was leading to headaches and extra tiredness/exhaustion). This was helpful.
hey DR. K im gonna try this meditation. I have been a Zazen practicioner since 2014. We do mostly sitting meditation with a little walking meditation. But Imma try this one!
Sometimes in my darkest days it feels like becoming a psychologist is the only thing keeping me from following the urge to just kill myself, i love you dr k you made my life so much easier. You're presence itself started to make me calm after a year of listening to you. I hope one day i get to become like you, someone kind and smart that helps people like me. People that have no one to turn to. I hope you have a great life as much as you make mine. I'm starting college in 5 months to follow my dream; inspiration to be just a little bit like you :)
if you're looking to help yourself, don't become a psychologist. become a monk, or become spiritual. even my religion has deeply spiritual practices to still the mind and soul. i know many deeply troubled psychologists, but not nearly as many deeply troubled spiritualists.
hope your studies are coming along fine! we can sometimes feel alone going through the struggles, but the beautiful thing is many people around the world, are going through similar situations, so we can go through them, together! and that makes you feel a little less alone. cheers
I felt relaxed and as white noise consumed my whole body (best way to explain it) like my whole face was vibrating and my ears were consumed by sounds of rain And it also feels like my mind doesn’t care about things that made me angry, anxious, scared or sad just a minute ago, it’s just relaxed living in the moment.
Words cant express how thankful i am for these videos. I used this to calm down for sleep and its really effective. I want to ask, is it recommended to use this with some ambient music? I feel better but am I missing the point of the exercise?
ig that was my first "bad expeperience" with meditation. I felt like it was hell of a shock for my ego but it was a pleasant pain, one that i needed to feel, to grow further.
I just did this, and after ending with the breaths i almost felt outta my chair cuz i got real dizzy and lightheaded. Sure, that help a lot with anxiety, so I count this as a win.
What to do if you're around people or you share a room with a colleague and you don't want anybody to find out there's a problem with you. I really don't want anyone to know I'm meditating. That's a really loud form of meditation but it fits to my problems.
My experience : Exhaling constantly with my diaphragm made me want to puke but after 1 minutes I got the intended effect. I felt relaxed and my heart also relaxed. Also started smiling after reading the comments about smiling. But the feeling didn't last very long, like 5 minutes so I tried again
This was really good but I was just nervous about like my family hearing this and thinking I have some type of medical emergency lmao, though this did help calm my thoughts and stuff.
3:03 meditation begins, for people who are watching again.
Thanks!
Thank you!

Appreciate this a lot!

The first minute after the practice I didn’t notice anything, but 3-4 minutes after it I felt way calmer.
This is like incredibly controlled and calm hyperventilating.

This is amazing… after 3 cycles it started kicking in already
THIS IS SO COOL I feel serene like back when I was playing an intense football match and I'm so focused I felt calm and everything feels slow
After the 30 each inhale and each exhale made my whole body shiver lightning, super cool.

Dr. K such a good hombre
Thank you Dr.K I needed this exercise
I needed this so much this morning!!!
This really helped me today
Why does it work??!
Works really good for me. Calm and relaxed. I have to make phone calls I'm very scared about. This will help so much.
I got dizzy and lightheaded. Then after a little bit noticed my chest was tight. (Then followed the deep breaths focused on expanding the compression)
ig that was my first "bad expeperience" with meditation. I felt like it was hell of a shock for my ego but it was a pleasant pain, one that i needed to feel, to grow further.
This seems to me like it simulates crying and activates the same pathways crying does. Feels cathartic.
I felt pleasant. Thank you Dr. K
Got pulled over today I was expecting a similar relaxation after doing this meditation. It didn't work as well as I hoped it would.
Oooh its like when u deeply cry as a child, i think u do the same to calm down
10:05 So what your saying is....
I got that dog in me
Reverse pursed-lip breathing (short bursts of forceful exhalations in sets of 10 to help with anxiety)-- (Helps you feel calm and focused)
This is wild but I think this meditation helped me fully understand what it means for our mind and our emotions to be separate from our inner self.
I just did this, and after ending with the breaths i almost felt outta my chair cuz i got real dizzy and lightheaded. Sure, that help a lot with anxiety, so I count this as a win.
It feels like the unconscious anxiety comes up from within into my body and thus I can let is go after listening to it instead of being stuck in there
What to do if you're around people or you share a room with a colleague and you don't want anybody to find out there's a problem with you. I really don't want anyone to know I'm meditating. That's a really loud form of meditation but it fits to my problems.
For most gurus Kapalabhati is a dangerous pranayama without a proper teacher
I just was having an anxiety attack thx dr k love u
I do this meditation so many times that it doesn’t feel as euphoric as the first times
Makes me more anxious :(
Wim Hof methd works better for me. Thank you for this vidoe.
I don't know if I'm feeling euphoria or just about to pass out from doing it wrong
This is really powerful
Did anyone else just start giggling for no reason between the exhales?
I laughed myself off and then felt calmer. I want to know why this calms you
literally just had a panic attack and this rllly help me :O
There's some dead audio around 5:00
Loved it, but my dog got super concerned because of the exhaling sounds, started crying and pawing me lol
I typically find my self holding my breath with anxious thought. Is this to help that instinct?
My experience : Exhaling constantly with my diaphragm made me want to puke but after 1 minutes I got the intended effect. I felt relaxed and my heart also relaxed. Also started smiling after reading the comments about smiling. But the feeling didn't last very long, like 5 minutes so I tried again
Am I supposed to cry after this
Wonderful ❤
Makes me laugh after everytime I do it. Love this meditation. Anybody got other mediations similar to this?
This was really good but I was just nervous about like my family hearing this and thinking I have some type of medical emergency lmao, though this did help calm my thoughts and stuff.
damn this one's so much fun! thanks for sharing!
I tried doing this kind of breathing immediately after being in a nasty car accident a few weeks ago. Guess it helped a little.
Woah the sharp exhalations really do help
I think of it as the lung's natural elasticity. You were having trouble describing it around the 2:30 mark, I believe. Big fan, keep it up.
