Since the start of 2024, I never experienced this kind of peace until today because of meditating by watching this video. There are many pressures of life, but I have found peace in Buddhism. Thank you Master Niels!
For those who are struggling in life, remember the Buddhist concept of impermanence. May you attain the highest good in this life!
just finished this and was immediately brought to tears, i have never felt so at peace. thank you 💗
idk why but meditation helps my autistic brain calm down, its quite relaxing.
10 years ago i wouldn't have thought bout meditation, but now at age 29, where my life is currently in chaos, meditation is helping me. i plan on doing it daily now. thanks for this.
Same. It helped with my suicidal thoughts.
Im happy to see so many people experiencing the impact of meditation. I feel that it is a very powerful technique, it changes the brain in meaningful ways if it is done regularly
Thus it is said that the purpose of meditation is not to gain but to let go - Ajahn Brahm. BTW, a meditation Monk said "Only by ignoring the reward will you be truly rewarded". That applies not only in meditation but in giving. May you be well & happy. 🙏
I love the whole concept of acceptance and being present-It's a discipline that I am beginning at age 42.
You're not alone 39 here and in the same boat. At least we're discovering it now rather than never! :)
Same 39 here as well
I was 19 when I started now I am 26 still improving and learning

May humanity be like Master Niels and those like him. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu! 🙏
Thank you Master Niels, This alleviates my depression and anxiety for a while.
Upon opening my eyes, a surreal feeling came over me. A feeling from within that radiated through my body. A feeling of calm, tranquility, peace that I found in myself. A feeling of peacefulness, brought about by the meditation that carried on, spreading through every part of my body, filling my mind and body with contentment. Thank you for this video Master Niels
Thank-you, Bhante for supporting us and giving such clear instructions. I often get ‘lost’ during meditation, so your close guidance & encouragement is helpful and much appreciated 🙏🏻

Thank you Master Niels. I've been searching TH-cam for guided meditation. I found that your vdo is the most simple yet full of important detail for guided meditation. Also, the way Master Niels teach us very simple to follow step by step. So grateful and thankful.

Nice practice ❤
Namo Buddhaya, 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you thank you so much 🙏
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu Namo buddhaya.
I gave it a try. It's so very difficult to breath for me though they I feel out of sync many times.
It was still nice to try though.
Thank you 🤍
This is beautiful
Instruction, thank you. Quite distracting bird calls in the background and a blank screen, maybe that’s intentional, still will pursue this quiet measured instruction, thank you very grateful 🙏🏻❤️🌺
Well done! Everytime you hear the sound of the bird, you can use it as a reminder of your breath. Same as with the gong. Hopefully this will strengthen your practice.
Good luck 🙏
Master Niels
I am. Always tensed. I want to lead a peaceful. And happy life. I keeps doing meditation but nothing changed
dont expect change and just keep doing it
🙏💐
It was so calming!!
This was very helpful yet very difficult i only managed to stay focused for 8 miknutes 😢this was my first time trying it though so i guess i could have been worse
It's hard to explain but I feel something different.
My vision also lost color? Everything seemed more white and with less color. My mind was more quiet and I felt almost like I was in third person. It seemed like a video game. Is the the effect that it causes? My vision is now like it was normally.
Currently no feeling.. Need practice. Thanks
Please help and guide me so when we sit in meditation we should continue till part 1 or do till part 4 ?
How do I get my legs not to feel numb and I can't sit straight for whole 10 mins.. am a beginner plz help me more
a numbing sensation in your legs is very normal when meditating, do not fight it or be frustrated with it but accept it or even use it as a focal point when meditating, that numb feeling should happen less as you meditate more
Hi Niels , do you have to inhale with the nose and exhale with your mouth? That is the way I do it now but I’m just do it for a week now. So I’m just learning. Thanks
Breathe in and out through your nose, so that you can focus on the sensation of your breath touching the inside of your nostrils. You can find more information on this in the description or watch my other video: th-cam.com/video/Uq7nBj17maA/w-d-xo.html
I'm able to concentrate in the morning, but when I try to meditate in mid day or at night I'm unable to focus.
My back hurts a little, does that get better? the posture I mean
What is b1 b2 and b3 ? Thank you
B1, B2, and B3 are the first three basic mindfulness breathing techniques where you inhale and exhale through your nose and focus on the sensation of the air touching the insides of your nostrils.
B3 = natural breathing
B2 = breathing in and out slowly and deeply
B1 = breathing in and out fast, short, and shallow
You can find a few dedicated videos explaining the B-techniques on my channel, so I invite you to watch those to practice and get a deeper understanding of the "B's."
I did this meditation sitting on a chair in front of my computer desk. Is it okay to sit in a chair or do I need to sit on a pillow with legs crossed?
You can absolutely do the meditation while sitting in a chair. However, if you can, I recommend sitting cross-legged or in a half-lotus position, as it increases your concentration.
No expert here but it should be okay. I've done this sitting as Master Niels does but also sitting in a chair, including just now. I did the meditation sitting in a lawn chair in my yard in the sun a few days ago, nearly fell asleep and started to fall out of the chair. My point is it should be ok. Just be safe and mindful of your surroundings.
i feel that theres something in my forehead building up
No job,no girl,no guy,no dope and one hand answers.
I breathe deeply i get gastric
I'm not sure what just happened….i have tried a few beginners guide to meditatation over the past couple of weeks & I don't feel it has worked for me….listening to this one 🙏 I feel something has changed within me…..whilst listening I got very emotional, tears strolling n feeling errrr I actually don't know…..my heart feels bigger & I just don't know why my tears was rolling out my eyes 😂. I have no explanation…..can anyone elaborate? ❤️ 🙏✌️🤍
Also my mind whilst listening said “you r affirmation” “you are” you just are✨🫶🏼
Thank you
Thank you
