Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks! Glorian...I don't know who's voice is, but I have to say it again that the way this teacher is speaking, his vibration, tonality and the way he presents the themes (through the heart) made a huge difference for me. I'm not looking to brash his ego and I know there is no chance I could do it . Just wanted to express my deep gratitude for his presence here. I was able to finally get into gnostic teachings, discover and experienced so much mostly due to this teacher who manage to reach the depths of my being. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thank you for contributing so we can help more people like you.
I agree.
He has another channel called Gnostic Student too
Yay everybody's waking up
I love my self
Absolutely agree with this comment. The narrators voice is so there with me, I can't help but pay close attention. Totally engaged, thank you to the creators!
I have been following your lectures since the days the organisation was called GnosticTeachings, in these times bringing me out truly the lowest lows. This time again I felt to a lowest low, being taken care of in the psychiatric hospital. Everything has been stripped away, beliefs, fundaments, love, motivation. Yet in these darkest moments, the healing that is occurring started by grace of your lectures (I casually took a printed lecture out of the book staple - about ‘Death’ ironically the begin of this transformation) until reading your materials became a frequent, essential practice to daily life. Thank you for caring for humanity, for your uploaded videos and courses. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done. You truly are lifesaving. Thank you for everything. So much gratitude and respect to you.
We are happy to hear that! Thank you for helping us to help others who are suffering as you have.
@@Glorian ❤️🙏
Continue striving, we're all in this together.
The quality on these videos keep improving. This one was magnificent.
I can’t believe how impactful just the simple act of a body scan to relax the body and mind before meditation. I’ve overlooked this step for years and have suffered due to the result of that. However after implementing this it’s easier for me to focus and concentrate during my practice. Much gratitude 🙏
You a beautiful being of light 💡 ❤
Thanks love ❤️
May all beings be happy .😊
Your efforts to help humanity are unmatched! On behalf of those who are really learning how to meditate from these videos, thank you with all my heart!
That meditation practice was so relaxing I didn’t want it to end 😂 thank you so much 🙏🏻
I felt more relaxed after this video, thank you!
Thank you for this instruction. it will be valuable in deepening the foundational practices. Most difficult part seemed to get a balance of no tension along the upper back without slouching.
That is why the video explains to raise your hips higher than your knees. This makes it easier.
@@Glorian Thank you, I misunderstood this instruction and will practice this going forward.
Thank you for your efforts in sharing this knowledge that can help all of humanity
Thank you!
A blessing.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I am grateful to have discovered your teaching. Thank you🙏🕉
You are so welcome
I love this teacher. His words and voice are so full of compassion. You can hear it. Thank you for helping us! 🙏🙏🙏
These are so helpful! Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥲
You are welcome!
Thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Well done.
Beautiful beyond words! Must listen to this tenfold, because each time, something new will be learned. Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you again. I now understand how important it is to find the correct posture for the body to relax without falling asleep. Cultivating awareness and relaxation throughout the day will require much patience and practice. Thank you, thank you. Am I allowed to express the saying “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” I feel this to be so.💜🙏🏾☀️✌🏾
Thank you glorian!
This teacher has helped me a lot on my spiritual path, theres something about the energy i relate with easily..thanks to him and thank you Glorian
Fantastic!
Thanks for making this video! I haven't been meditating for too long, but one thing I regrettably didn't focus enough on towards my beginning journey with meditation was how important relaxation is. I have noticed quite the difference using this technique only during meditation, but also throughout the day. I look forward to the rest of the series to improve my current progress meditation progress!
Wonderful!
Interesting video, thank you.
Great exercise. thank you. Could you identify the music at the end? In fact, please do this with all your videos, because your music selection is great and the music recognition apps don't understand great music.
Terima kasih.

Thank you!
When you meditate, take up the position which is most comfortable for you. You do not have to go into physical contortions. Rest and relax. Tell yourself to relax and release all your limbs, including your head, neck, face, into a state of utter limpness.
I must impress on you that meditation should be - eventually - as simple as slipping into slumber. The purpose of meditation is to enable your entire consciousness to move beyond the boundaries of intellect and reason. Save yourself 45 minutes in from of a screen .
This relaxation exercise is very much like Yoga Nidra, except Yoga Nidra is performed while lying down. The purpose of Yoga Nidra is to relax the body and the mind. Scientifically this type of exercise is called non-sleep deep rest/relaxation, NSDR.
I would recommend making a separate standalone video of this exercise so people can access it on a daily basis.
Thanks

@@Glorian No... Thanks to you all for helping mankind develop and grow... Your works are felt by so many and truly help to save souls... endless amount of gratitude to the Glorian team 🙏🏼💯🙏🏼
thank you where can I find the music? It reasonates deeply
Throughout this exercise I had the constant feeling of not getting enough air, or better jet, of the air in my breath of not being of a rich and nourishing enough quality to feel satiated with air. It felt like being constricted. This changed somewhat towards the end when the air in my breath felt fresh and satiating but the feeling of not enough room and a constricting quality around my solar plexus remained quite strong. This created the constant urge to flee.
I guess over time, with more practice and experience that maybe I can work on this by experimenting with posture?
I was only able to sit with this by trusting the nature of beginnings and reminding myself to just relax and observe.
But … I also have a hunch that this paranoid, hectic quality of ‚not being in a good enough composure right now‘ is a constant, moment to moment companion of mine that just presented itself to me in this tangibility through this exercise.
Do I just continue to sit with it?
Gotta know what album this song is from...great choice!! 🙏
Im having trouble with finding seated position in which I can relax every muscle, in legs crossed position I lean forward and drop my head. And in legs under hips position I straight up fall on the ground. Did someone else struggled with that and found a solution? Is the only option for me to lean my back against some kind of support?
👏
Hi. Could you please do La Oracion Gonstica a los elementales - Saludo al alba? @Glorian
I have had a back injury 2 years ago (herniated disk) and it hurts to sit upright like this for a long time. The only position I can truly relax in is lying down, but as said in the video, it makes me sleepy. Do you have any advice?
There are two postures you can use: (1) lie flat, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground. (2) lie flat with your legs placed upwards against a wall.
@@Glorian thank you very much!
Anytime.
I feel fatigue and an uncomfortable feeling in my lower back when trying to sit upright without leaning back. Is that typical for people when they first try that? I found it distracting, it felt uncomfortable. Will I develop strength in my lower back as I practice this more? I guess I'll find out because I will continue, but it was hard remaining focused.
Thanks by the way. I have not found any video(s) that went this in-depth on the subject of meditation. You provided so much information, tips, and thought provoking insights on this topic!
It takes some practice to develop the posture because of tension that needs to relax, muscles that are not used to it, and other little adjustments that gradually get made. Try different postures for meditation, and some light stretching.
@@Glorian Got it - thanks
How are things going for you? Are you able to relax, sit in an upright posture without falling forward with your head, falling asleep? Please, let me know how your daily meditation practise is going.
@@adventure09 I never had an issue with falling asleep - not doing it daily so I can't answer that
17:00
Throughout the excercise the back of my neck became more tense and irritable. No amount of attention could relax it, but it wasn’t so bad, I thought I could just observe and move past it. Once I reached the end where I placed full attention around my head, I suddenly began to feel as if I were about to puke. I had a strange light headedness, like maybe I was about to fall over. I then left my chair and had to lie down on my bed to recover. Any theories why this happened?
Just as when you first start exercising, sometimes you feel nausea or dizziness; this is similar to that: starting to meditate stirs up stagnation and moves energy. It is also possible there was some pressure or tension along the spinal column that was creating this result. If it happens again, change your posture or take a break.
14:00
When sitting upright for 5-10 minutes my back will start to hurt. How is it possible to relax the back when you are sitting upright without having bad posture? The pain hinders me, will it get better after some "sessions"?
If you do not have a back injury, then it is either that the posture is not yet right, or the back muscles are weak and need to strengthen.
I highly recommend learning/exploring the fundamentals of Alexander Technique to aid your posture in everyday life.
@@CamiloGaetePuga Where can someone learn those fundamentals?
@@deanesco There are books written on the topic. There is good material on youtube as well. But the best way is to learn it is from a qualified instructor. Can be a bit expensive but is something that will deffenetively improve your quality of life. I had many back pains in the past and after taking a lessons and practicing the excersises and developing the awareness of my body, they went away for good. Good luck!
That's why you practice asana to help with sitting practise xxx
I was wondering if there are any ways to minimize the saliva production during meditation. If one wants to practise stillness, it's probably best to eliminate the need for constant swallowing.
Don’t pay attention to it. Concentration should deepen; withdrawing from physical sensations.
@@bossybuddhaDuring a deep meditation, what about when the mouth opens a bit, and one starts to drool? Thanks for responding.
Do not worry about drooling. The impediment is giving attention to this, as the focus is to withdraw to the drowsy state, then leave into a samadhi. Alertness should be increasing, while allowing the body to full rest. A samadhi requires the body, emotional and intellectual centres to rest, so the soul can leave.
@@bossybuddha Thank you. When performing pranayama, up to which point do you know when one enters the withdrawal state of pratyahara, and proceeds from there?
Pranayama should be done at the beginning stages of meditation in order to settle the physical body and reorient the energetic channels. In the middling stages where concentration is deepening you should not be moving or making adjustments, unless absolutely necessary. A change in asana at some point is appropriate, if you know the physical body is better to enter into samadhi through the lying posture. The reason for this is because of drowsiness, unless you are accustomed to full rest of the physical body in the full lotus asana.
I believe that you are saying the truth but I can’t find any way it’s possible at all. I have not found it even remotely possible to sit upright and relax every muscle. Even as they describe to hold your hips so your head doesn’t flop. Well, that takes muscles to hold your hips that way. And otherwise, when I do relax every muscle, I fall asleep. I see no way whatsoever to not be in either tension, or to fall into sleep. The point of equilibrium is like trying to perch on the head of a needle. That doesn’t feel stable. Is there some way to be stable at the point of rest? I always fall of the head of the pin quickly.
To be honest, and answer my own question. It is because you can’t start on step 3, you start on step 1. And the voice who says you don’t need steps 1&2 because you are so special that you are ready to go straight to step 3 is the one who you must kill. I think.
I need these videos but why does the speaker sound like a harsh strict army general? Sounds angry and contemptuous not easy to get through when you are trying to relax.
Wow I find his voice to be compassionate and calm, straight from the heart💚
Thanks!
Thank you for supporting the channel!

Thanks!
12:26 such authority in the voice “if you fall asleep…I will kill you 😅😅”
