It astounds me how Sam just drops this complete 5-minute bomb on the nature of the mind and does it so eloquently and they don't even engage him on it whatsoever.
Though I wish they all could have engaged with what he said more, I thought that it was absolutely fucking hilarious that joe just starts talking about "apps" immediately afterward.
I love how this Dan fella is trying as politely as possible to break it to Joe that tripping on pot cookies while taking a salt bath in the dark isn't meditation.🤣
I've meditated for a few years and I'm not super articulate when I'm talking, usually only when writing but I don't think meditation has changed that. I'm only 23 so maybe in a decade or so, I swear people who are like 50 are always articulate and say what they mean.
@@ravishingravi started probably in 2015 or 2016, usually do it daily for 10 mins or so, or just spread out through the day in 20 second bursts of just bringing my attention to my breath and that's it. Sometimes I've gone a few months without doing anything so that's not great! Lol

@@peekaygaikwad4117 actually I think that the whole purpose of his explanation was to help people with no experience gain a basic understanding of what meditation can do for you. That's usually the hardest part, explaining what it is and what it does. That was my issue for the longest time. People who didn't really know what it is were trying (and failing) to describe it to me, so it's benefits were lost on me. Also, why bother making an explanation that's intended for people who already know what it is. I think he did an excellent job.
@@MuhammadAliGOAT I think 10:40 is good, but watch the whole thing. It's not that long. I've been trying to meditate at least every day (my goal is 20 minutes after waking and 20 minutes before sleep), but it's probably been more like every other day lol. But that's fine, it's always a work in progress no matter where you are. It's for sure helped me deal with the whole shelter in place situation. Don't make it a chore or a thing to stress about though (you probably will at first but that's ok). The meditative state itself is as much the goal as all the benefits that result from it.
@@michaelfranciotti3900 thank you for your detailed reply, you should start off small though.. setting yourself 20 minutes becomes a chore.. start off for 1 minute and do that for a few weeks and then when you feel its not enough, spend longer and increase over time.. do you roll out of bed and meditate? because meditation is the same as prayer and sometimes I will roll out of bed into prayer (meditation) and I am still all hazy because my body is adjusting to the 'reality' I have now awoken back into and while my body is adjusting my thoughts, I am praying/meditating.. I don't know if this is more powerful than doing other things first, but I like to believe its when we are most connected to the source (also like to think if you have fasted all night and have not eaten, that the connection is more powerful and pure)
I kinda saw Joes reaction of more like "he just shut up and let the guy talk" cause he sensed something good. Most interviewers would have interupted or interjected, shows his experience.
Thanks for this. Becuase listening to Rogan talk about using meditation to work on stand up and jujitsu - and by meditation, he means drugs - was really beginning to make me cringe.
I Was never really open to the idea of meditation. Thought it was for weak people or something but after practicing it for a couple weeks Im noticing a huge difference in my ability to control my anger and block out a lot of negativity I encounter everyday. Thanks for the awesome conversation!
Meditation is not an easy thing to do as I imagine most would presume, once you attempt it it's really amazing how difficult it is to sit still and calm your mind from all the ambience of the day.
I used to cringe at the thought of meditation. But i also suffered depression, adhd and ptsd almost my whole life. Ive been doing it for almost a month, and i find myself not getting angry or depressed at the same shit anymore. Also ive gotten so much better sitting still. My adhd is slowly going away and im fuckin happy. Better memory, being able to sit still, being able to focus.
Sam's explanation was beautiful. Mindfulness lets you perceive thoughts as movements into consciousness in the same way that sounds or sights are. You perceive them as states of awareness, not as part of your identity, just like how you would feel with feeling the air against your skin. Once you disassociate yourself from your thoughts, you are able to experience reality in a way that is more observant, and your thinking becomes clearer and more purposeful. Meditation isn't some religious cult. It's just a reformation of the mind in a way that is more conducive towards one's psychological well being. I think everyone should give meditation a try. It's requires no money and very little time, and the effects are profound, as research has shown. I haven't even been at it that long and I've already begun to escape the grips of depression.
Nathanael you can find plenty of sadhus in some northern Shaivite hinduism that smoke copious amounts of ganja in their bhakti yoga practice (though plenty of other traditions within and without hinduism would oppose this). Even some sufis use ganja
I have/had severe debilitating OCD and have almost completely overcame it with mindfulness..... feel like I'm living in a completely different world now... have not felt so present in years and years...... I'm glad its helping with ur depression
that thing Sam Harris said about pain makes so much sense. Maybe that's why you can't tickle yourself? within the conceptual framework, you know when you are going to stop, and so when the feeling stops. so you actually get no feeling at all. mad.
@@Nathan-tg4gu not necessarily true, if ur going to hurt urself most of the time you would think about two things: what action are you going to do? and at what intensity level? you can choose how intense the act is but not when the pain (physical and emotional) will stop, consequential pain as well is something to consider. The pain caused by the consequences of the action (for ex. parents divorce, someone you love died, etc.) versus an instantaneous feeling you have full control and ease to make stop

@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba 'Brahman' means 'expansion', used to denote the way in which the Universe was created, to denote absolute reality, and to denote abiding joy. Joy feels like expansion. Maybe Brahman is where I was, the first time I had a breakthrough in meditation (by accident). It felt like my self expanding to fill the whole world, and joy growing in proportion. Everything I had lived until then was satisfied, there. I saw no reason to continue living in this world, except for the challenge to see if it was possible to live in the world and yet have that joy. After that time, I've learnt and have been thankful for much, but it seemed to me like it would not be a tragedy if I died. Everything after was like surplus time, a post-game. The life that sought justification ended there.
Yamikaiba123 hmm interesting. I know what you mean when you talk about dying, coming from a place of contentment. However it would be a crime not to share that joy with others. Kudos.
I meditated for 30 minutes and then saw this video to learn more... and now, the incorrect spelling of meditation on this 3 year old video is bugging me a little. Funnily enough to make a comment... that no one might ever read... hoping someone might read it and relate or... you know what? Have a good day.
I like Sam Harris' friendly smirk starting at 6:10 when he inquires into whether Joe does drugs while floating. Like, Sam is a longtime friend of Joe's and already has a pretty good idea of what Joe does in the tank :)
The example Sam explains about our interpretation of pain or the “framework” we put around pain is such a key concept to understand. For example, Goggins talks about how he used to let all his pain and suffering be his reason for being stuck at where he was at. And it wasn’t until he changed his framework around that pain to be a motivator that he changed his life. Perspective is key!
3:35 this happened to me when I was on lsd for the first time and it taught me how to stop being anxious. I seen myself acting out within myself, essentially actively attempting to change who I am, and how I do things
Some of my best meditations have been while I’m high. That’s when your state of mind is at peace and it’s just easier to extend your energy out into your surroundings.
There's a very real stigma around meditation and mindfulness under the assumption that it does not equate to any REAL results or changes in one's life, and I know this because I once subscribed to this stigma. I can say 100%, though, that anyone contemplating the effectiveness of mindful meditation, or anyone who is contemplating giving it a try, should give it a try (and keep trying, because no one can pick up a guitar and instantly be a virtuoso). Given enough exposure and practice, I believe that anyone can reap its benefits (and there are many, hidden benefits). It's had a real, profound effect on me, and I'm still only a novice at it.
In my experience and research personally, I've noticed a common ground in anyting from the East, that all say to meditate "on" something is a westernized assimilation of meditation. Although I'm sure it is useful just as Joe is explaining. But the Divide between Joe and Danny's perspective on meditation is just further evidence of the case
"The center of the bullseye is not suffering unnecessarily." Very good. For instance, going into an isolation tank for the first time while being high would be causing yourself to suffer unnecessarily.. The isolation tank speeds up the meditation process because we are trying to get past the five senses...the tank already does that for you...mostly...so don't go into that new unexplored territory high your first few times.... Nobody gives medals for stupidity. If you enjoy freaking or want to risk wondering on the side of the road homeless with an irreversible psychotic break...it's up to you. Be kind enough to yourself to build a solid foundation.
I had an experience one time. It was the 1st time I meditated,and I felt like I was outside of my body,then it got bright. The light was a golden color. I suddenly started seeing people walking around me. I was sitting in the center of all this and they started looking at me. I panicked and opened my eyes. I could hear their voices,see their faces were clear. It scared the shit out of me. I do alot of guided sleep meditations now
I love the awareness that Joe has brought to floating. I own a float spa in redondo beach and I can tell you Joe is correct in what he says, but floating can also allow for profound meditation which is what many of our members do and what he appears to allude to as one of his goals in the tank depending on what he is working on. Think of the tank as a powerful tool that can be used for various things. We have athletes go through visualizations and sequences, creatives exploring ideas and letting other ideas manifest from deep within, etc... and my favorite - pure unadulterated meditation. By reducing the distractions and external stimuli, meditation can be enhanced, especially for those who have limited meditative experience. To be able to learn how to dissociate from your ego, escape the pattern of compulsive thoughts and constant thinking, and access a larger collective consciousness is indescribably liberating. This intrinsic awareness that allows you to be interconnected and merge with anything and everything is truly profound. An infinite ocean of knowledge and deeper truth. Hope this helps and doesn't sound too woo woo! Find a float center and let go. Just be =)
For anybody looking for deeper explanation on meditation types and practices, look up Allan wallace and go down the rabbit hole. "Religious people believe, philosophers think, and scientists look."
Once years ago, I was really struggling with sleep. I had been about two weeks with hardly any. I'd fall asleep and wake up shortly after, unable to go back to sleep. Well one night I'm at my gfs apt, which had good internet (this was back when not everyone had it, I didn't), and I decided to look up meditation. I spent the next 20-30 mins following a meditation guide on a website. It felt great, and afterwards I felt really good and finally relaxed. I laid down and kinda kept that mindset, soon falling asleep and I slept soundly the entire night. It was great. Ever since then I've really valued the impact of meditation, though I'm pretty inconsistent about doing it.
Did an iso tank last week..first time. All I can say is I ever run into money, I'm getting one. If I did a float once a day I would be an entirely different person. Did it once..I'm hooked. That's it.
Meditation is what/how Sam is describing. It is awareness of your being; awareness of your chattering self and thereby taking control of it; observing your chattering self going through its emotional tantrums; not blocking it or ignoring it; just knowing its there and gently ignoring its bidding's.
The alarm is again a mistake. Because it teaches us to look somewhere else for reminders, and not within for constant "remembering". A reminder is only a permission to forget, which is NOT helpful. Any external thing will be a way to shrug the responsibility for being mindful in THIS moment.
This is one situation where Joe Rogan knows nothing about the experience of mediation and the way it makes you see the truth. One thing these guys didn't mention is that meditating brings you into the present moment. You start to really see things as they really are. You either understand this or you don't. The best way to learn to meditate is to do a meditation retreat. Here is where you will awaken and gain a technique you can keep for life. When you hear people talking about outer body crap and drug induced experiences you know they are not there yet or haven't even attempted to learn to meditate properly. Joe, clearly got caught out making up crap in this situation. Maybe he has learnt to meditate after this interview. :)
I've managed to clear my mind completely for a few weeks. It happened after I heard the audiobook by Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now. What he was saying resonated with me so strongly that it shot me into the present immediately but also into a manic episode at the same time. Its ine of the best/worst experiences I've had. The bad part came after my mind crashed from lack of sleep caused by the mania. Thats when I realized I was bipolar for the first time. But I dont regret the experience because it made me realize that there are states of mind that can be reached that I wasn't aware of.
Sam is brilliant. He spoke for a few mins and Joe's response. Apps? 😅 that's why sam needs to go to interviewers at his level that can keep the deep conversation going and then bring it to a beautiful place
I’ve had times of consistent meditation and when I do that I’m convinced it could be among the most important and healing / helping things in existence for all mankind. Amazingly I still have a hard time getting back to that daily routine (for me transcendental meditation, 20 mins, twice a day). Joes should have listened more to how those guys meditate. To each their own but I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding about what meditation is. I agree it’s not a switch to shut off the mind. The head chatter is there but by meditation (TM uses mantra) it does seem to quiet down a bit. Thoughts come and go, and that’s the point as I understand it. But thoughts should be let go naturally. If you’re holding onto a thought use the mantra (or whatever your meditation is) and that thought will pass. It’s like your brain has bubbles that are thoughts. They need to come out and surface, where the bubble bursts and that’s the end. Allowing that to happen does indeed calm the mind overall. Pretty much our brains are carbonated with thoughts and we need to just open the valves a bit.
Hey Joe, I think if you really wanna talk "meditation" you need to invite Dr Joe Dispenza on the show. I really appreciate it if you do that ! Thank you
I actually started a new thing called “meta-tation.” It’s a heightened form of meditation where you become of aware of the fact that you’re aware of the fact that there are thoughts going on inside tour head.
I feel like one session in deprivation tank allowed me to fully understand what meditation is supposed to feel like. It's easier in there. It was the only time I felt my thoughts truly stop racing. I have never achieved this meditating in my room. It's a hack for sure and I feel like Joe talking about psychedelics turned his guest off about meditating in the tank.
Just wanted to say that I am grateful to have Joe Rogan and his podcast. Always fun and I learn some new interesting stuff. Instead of wasting time with some other dumb shit in TV or Netflix I rather waste it here.
so joe believes in sober psychedelics states, i sound crazy when i talk about my experiences that i can only describe as “ like i’m on drugs”. it’s nice to see someone else bring it up more normally
Thinking that one is bad at meditation because they notice that they have intrusive thoughts while meditation, is like thinking that one is bad at exercise because they feel discomfort or exertion while exercising.

After that time, I've learnt and have been thankful for much, but it seemed to me like it would not be a tragedy if I died. Everything after was like surplus time, a post-game.
The life that sought justification ended there.
Yamikaiba123 hmm interesting. I know what you mean when you talk about dying, coming from a place of contentment. However it would be a crime not to share that joy with others. Kudos.
Nothing quite like getting to the end of your guided meditation session led by Sam Harris, to suddenly hear “hello, freak bitches” comparatively loud.

@@tylerfiecke that was the joke....
I meditated for 30 minutes and then saw this video to learn more... and now, the incorrect spelling of meditation on this 3 year old video is bugging me a little. Funnily enough to make a comment... that no one might ever read... hoping someone might read it and relate or... you know what? Have a good day.
Oh fuck shit beetch
Spelling mistake
I think Joe has a fundamental misunderstanding of meditation.
I think Harris as well
Chris Bartos Not Sam
ya, you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of Joe Rogan having fun.
There is a shit ton of different forms of meditation, anyone who thinks their way of meditating is "the right way" has a fundamental misunderstanding
1 who thinks they understand meditation, doesnt know.
Sam: Have you ever combined the tank with psychedelic states
Joe: yeah
Sam: yeah
Joe: yeah
Sam: yeah (smirks)
😂
This is funny 🤣
what is the tank?
This meditation stuff is fascinating but I came here to hear dan sand Sam Harris discuss mediation.
He's mediating Joe's extreme and misguided ideas of meditating.
Lol
Lmao!!!
Man, I freaking love Sam Harris. He always speaks so clearly.
I like Sam Harris' friendly smirk starting at 6:10 when he inquires into whether Joe does drugs while floating. Like, Sam is a longtime friend of Joe's and already has a pretty good idea of what Joe does in the tank :)
6:13 😂 Rogan stares at Same like ‘oh you know’
Joe: “yeah”
Sam: “yeah?”
Joe:”yeah..........”
Sam: “yeah.......”
@@Sprite_525 what is the tank?

Mafs: "illegal move"
The example Sam explains about our interpretation of pain or the “framework” we put around pain is such a key concept to understand. For example, Goggins talks about how he used to let all his pain and suffering be his reason for being stuck at where he was at. And it wasn’t until he changed his framework around that pain to be a motivator that he changed his life. Perspective is key!
3:35
this happened to me when I was on lsd for the first time and it taught me how to stop being anxious. I seen myself acting out within myself, essentially actively attempting to change who I am, and how I do things
Joe is the type of guy who smokes a joint and think he is meditating 😂
Shari can be anything he wants it to be
Some of my best meditations have been while I’m high. That’s when your state of mind is at peace and it’s just easier to extend your energy out into your surroundings.
Por que no los dos?
@@crunchy1547 These "meditations" may give you a more pleasurable experience but that is not the goal of regular yogic meditation practice.
Dan Harris: "What's your motivation when your eating the pot?"
Joe Rogan: "See what happens, be scared, be terrified."
There's a very real stigma around meditation and mindfulness under the assumption that it does not equate to any REAL results or changes in one's life, and I know this because I once subscribed to this stigma.
I can say 100%, though, that anyone contemplating the effectiveness of mindful meditation, or anyone who is contemplating giving it a try, should give it a try (and keep trying, because no one can pick up a guitar and instantly be a virtuoso). Given enough exposure and practice, I believe that anyone can reap its benefits (and there are many, hidden benefits). It's had a real, profound effect on me, and I'm still only a novice at it.
In my experience and research personally, I've noticed a common ground in anyting from the East, that all say to meditate "on" something is a westernized assimilation of meditation. Although I'm sure it is useful just as Joe is explaining. But the Divide between Joe and Danny's perspective on meditation is just further evidence of the case

Joe Rogan assuming everyone can have access to an isolation tank. And that everyone wants to get high af.
Isolation tanks are awesome however " I am that I am " meditation works well for me
I didn’t get that sense of an assumption at all.

"The center of the bullseye is not suffering unnecessarily." Very good. For instance, going into an isolation tank for the first time while being high would be causing yourself to suffer unnecessarily.. The isolation tank speeds up the meditation process because we are trying to get past the five senses...the tank already does that for you...mostly...so don't go into that new unexplored territory high your first few times.... Nobody gives medals for stupidity. If you enjoy freaking or want to risk wondering on the side of the road homeless with an irreversible psychotic break...it's up to you. Be kind enough to yourself to build a solid foundation.
I had an experience one time. It was the 1st time I meditated,and I felt like I was outside of my body,then it got bright. The light was a golden color. I suddenly started seeing people walking around me. I was sitting in the center of all this and they started looking at me. I panicked and opened my eyes. I could hear their voices,see their faces were clear. It scared the shit out of me. I do alot of guided sleep meditations now
Lmaoo bullshit
You got psychotic on meditation I see. There is people who go through this
Summary: Ben Stillers releasing a meditation app
I love the awareness that Joe has brought to floating. I own a float spa in redondo beach and I can tell you Joe is correct in what he says, but floating can also allow for profound meditation which is what many of our members do and what he appears to allude to as one of his goals in the tank depending on what he is working on. Think of the tank as a powerful tool that can be used for various things. We have athletes go through visualizations and sequences, creatives exploring ideas and letting other ideas manifest from deep within, etc... and my favorite - pure unadulterated meditation. By reducing the distractions and external stimuli, meditation can be enhanced, especially for those who have limited meditative experience. To be able to learn how to dissociate from your ego, escape the pattern of compulsive thoughts and constant thinking, and access a larger collective consciousness is indescribably liberating. This intrinsic awareness that allows you to be interconnected and merge with anything and everything is truly profound. An infinite ocean of knowledge and deeper truth. Hope this helps and doesn't sound too woo woo! Find a float center and let go. Just be =)
Isolation tanks are awesome. " I am, that I am " meditation works as well if you dont have access to one of those tanks.
“What’s 10% of 0” should have got a bigger laugh 😂
For anybody looking for deeper explanation on meditation types and practices, look up Allan wallace and go down the rabbit hole.
"Religious people believe, philosophers think, and scientists look."
Thank you! :)
That's a bit of an oversimplification, but I think I get the point that quote is trying to make.
15:56 Sam finishes dropping a 5 minute knowledge bomb and all Joe can think to say is "Tell me about your app."
@Henry Cejudo is english your second language?
how do you follow up that mind blow??? xD
Lol yeah that was a weird segue
Apparently Joe is a stuck up 😂 can't wrap his tiny head around new information.
@@clevelandclowns5880 Agreed. It was like they were even listening
Sam Harris doesn't need the tank, he's achieved and surpassed the state joe talks about with just his meditation and concentration
16:19
SOMEONES TUMMY MADE A HUNGRY NOISE
I thought it was me at first
Lmaoo I was hoping someone commented about that.
Joes always gotta one up
well, they asked about the tank, and that dan guy was kind of judgemental about it... like "you do drugs? woooooooow"
It's cause he's low iq. His ego feels threatened
@@vodkacannon Yes
I appreciate the subtitles writes "nap" instead of "app".
Joe: "Does everyone need a nap?"
Once years ago, I was really struggling with sleep. I had been about two weeks with hardly any. I'd fall asleep and wake up shortly after, unable to go back to sleep. Well one night I'm at my gfs apt, which had good internet (this was back when not everyone had it, I didn't), and I decided to look up meditation. I spent the next 20-30 mins following a meditation guide on a website. It felt great, and afterwards I felt really good and finally relaxed. I laid down and kinda kept that mindset, soon falling asleep and I slept soundly the entire night. It was great. Ever since then I've really valued the impact of meditation, though I'm pretty inconsistent about doing it.
Did an iso tank last week..first time. All I can say is I ever run into money, I'm getting one. If I did a float once a day I would be an entirely different person. Did it once..I'm hooked. That's it.
Great video! I just decided to get into meditation and it has absolutely made the difference in my life
Good luck to you stranger. Together with clarity this world can be a much better place.
16:29 Dan Harris become aware of his thoughts, amazing!
I sucked at mediation until I had my awakening. Now I can meditate at any time. Nothing but the present moment is truth...
Does Joe think he found a way to hack meditation? 😩😂
Dan and Sam: Notice your thoughts.
Joe: DMT? DMT? DMT? DMT?
Meditation is what/how Sam is describing. It is awareness of your being; awareness of your chattering self and thereby taking control of it; observing your chattering self going through its emotional tantrums; not blocking it or ignoring it; just knowing its there and gently ignoring its bidding's.
The alarm is again a mistake. Because it teaches us to look somewhere else for reminders, and not within for constant "remembering". A reminder is only a permission to forget, which is NOT helpful.
Any external thing will be a way to shrug the responsibility for being mindful in THIS moment.
I was looking for this comment. Thank you.
All my brothers and sisters that meditate I'm so proud of you. I don't do it enough. Bless the world.
This is one situation where Joe Rogan knows nothing about the experience of mediation and the way it makes you see the truth. One thing these guys didn't mention is that meditating brings you into the present moment. You start to really see things as they really are. You either understand this or you don't. The best way to learn to meditate is to do a meditation retreat. Here is where you will awaken and gain a technique you can keep for life. When you hear people talking about outer body crap and drug induced experiences you know they are not there yet or haven't even attempted to learn to meditate properly. Joe, clearly got caught out making up crap in this situation. Maybe he has learnt to meditate after this interview. :)

I've managed to clear my mind completely for a few weeks. It happened after I heard the audiobook by Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now. What he was saying resonated with me so strongly that it shot me into the present immediately but also into a manic episode at the same time. Its ine of the best/worst experiences I've had. The bad part came after my mind crashed from lack of sleep caused by the mania. Thats when I realized I was bipolar for the first time. But I dont regret the experience because it made me realize that there are states of mind that can be reached that I wasn't aware of.
Joe Rogan has never let someone talk this long without interrupting them. He saved his breath for his moment too.
19:28
After promoting both their meditation apps...
Joe: "do you need an app?"
Both: "no"
Sam is brilliant. He spoke for a few mins and Joe's response. Apps? 😅 that's why sam needs to go to interviewers at his level that can keep the deep conversation going and then bring it to a beautiful place
I’ve had times of consistent meditation and when I do that I’m convinced it could be among the most important and healing / helping things in existence for all mankind. Amazingly I still have a hard time getting back to that daily routine (for me transcendental meditation, 20 mins, twice a day).
Joes should have listened more to how those guys meditate. To each their own but I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding about what meditation is. I agree it’s not a switch to shut off the mind. The head chatter is there but by meditation (TM uses mantra) it does seem to quiet down a bit. Thoughts come and go, and that’s the point as I understand it. But thoughts should be let go naturally. If you’re holding onto a thought use the mantra (or whatever your meditation is) and that thought will pass. It’s like your brain has bubbles that are thoughts. They need to come out and surface, where the bubble bursts and that’s the end. Allowing that to happen does indeed calm the mind overall. Pretty much our brains are carbonated with thoughts and we need to just open the valves a bit.
What are you doing in the tank?
Joe rogan: "breathing"....
Hey Joe,
I think if you really wanna talk "meditation" you need to invite Dr Joe Dispenza on the show.
I really appreciate it if you do that !
Thank you
Visions of Gaia ...Dali Lama!
I actually started a new thing called “meta-tation.” It’s a heightened form of meditation where you become of aware of the fact that you’re aware of the fact that there are thoughts going on inside tour head.
Wow. That first few minutes of Dan's talk is quite possibly the best advice for meditation I've ever heard.
Thanks for the video!
I feel like one session in deprivation tank allowed me to fully understand what meditation is supposed to feel like. It's easier in there. It was the only time I felt my thoughts truly stop racing. I have never achieved this meditating in my room. It's a hack for sure and I feel like Joe talking about psychedelics turned his guest off about meditating in the tank.
I dig the way that these guys break down the meditation process 😎👍
It seems to me like joe dosent understand what meditation is.
Hahahahahahaha!

That's called the ASMR
this conversation feels like meditation.

"just be scared"
always gets me
Just wanted to say that I am grateful to have Joe Rogan and his podcast. Always fun and I learn some new interesting stuff. Instead of wasting time with some other dumb shit in TV or Netflix I rather waste it here.
so joe believes in sober psychedelics states, i sound crazy when i talk about my experiences that i can only describe as “ like i’m on drugs”. it’s nice to see someone else bring it up more normally
😂😂😂 Joe is such a bro "I like the idea uhh of it being like bicep curls for your mind [dude]"
Thinking that one is bad at meditation because they notice that they have intrusive thoughts while meditation, is like thinking that one is bad at exercise because they feel discomfort or exertion while exercising.
Guys. What harris is talking about is Vipassana form of meditation in its purest form. Look it up and do it at the centre near you. It will shake your core.
Yeah! I went to my first in June
