Sam, I was not having good days since 4 days ago and I couldn’t move forward. I felt extremely caged with my own thoughts and like Alkesh said societal conditioning.
Sam, you’ve always been the light to my darkness, and just right at the moment, this came to me. Neti Neti has been an eye opener for me, you know I’ve been putting all the blames on me & couldn’t control and compose my emotions, it really eating me up slowly. Thankyou for being there for me even without your knowing. Truly my guardian angel!!! 🙏🏽🤍
Alkesh sir, I really loved the part ‘not being introspective > not be self aware > no self acceptance > no inception to growth to happen in life’. Whole episode is just clean and clear and Sam being amazing host of the whole episode.
Thankyou for this Sam and Alkesh 🥺🥺🥺 sometimes the things you are doing might not getting attention but it reaches to the people that needed it mostly and right at time. Mental health should be considered the most important priority in life, and people like you are being the great guidance to those who’s struggling. Meditation is about inner peace too. Thankyou angels.
Lots of love and respect to both of you. Please keep it coming more 🙏🏽♥️🙇♀️🥺

Hello Sam, hope you are doing well, thank you once again for coming up with these podcasts, the content is very helpful for ones own journey towards wellbeing, I felt like it’s a sneak peak into the world of wisdom that is out there in the world about overall wellbeing of a human. Keep going, all the best. 😊😇
Thanku so muchhh Samantha for giving us this high cost counseling sessions for free. U are girl with beautiful and kind heart ❤️. May God bless u and give u happiness and peace without anxiety. I am also in the transformation journey, but I was stuck in freeze response and in difficult situation to change thought patterns, don't know what to do, now u made me understand that meditation changes thought patterns is biggest eye opening for me. I know meditation calms down but don't know it can change thought patterns. Now I can try to change my thoughts patterns with ur help. Thanku Samantha. Thanku so muchhh heartfully ♥️ for bringing this free sessions to us. May be it was not getting millons and millions of views, but reaching to the people who need it desperately like a medicine. U are escaping us from mental torture and extreme anxiety we get. Not millions views U are releasing us from mental torture who needs that medicine.💖. Thanku so muchh sam heartfully ♥️. Let's fight together in this time taking enjoyable transformation journey. Yayyyyyyy... 🥳🥳🥳
Achieving sense of identity is ultimate goal of meditation. Interesting way of putting it.
I think take 20 means the topics which cover our daily life routine and all and it will contain 20 episodes , thats why its take 20 , its according to me . But whatever the significance of this name is , these podcasts are really helpful for us , the society ❤❤❤
I felt so calm whenever i paint so, i used to skip meditayion. Thank you so much for giving details on why we should meditate. I really hope it gelps with my autoimmune condition too. I will try to look for more info on Neti Neti abd start my day with meditation. Thanks Sam and Alkesh.
Hi Alkesh and Sam awesome episode. I really know today difference between meditation and realisation .love you guys❤..
I was diagnosed last month with 7.3cm fibroid outside uterus attached to it. It's been very stressful. Your video related to coping up with dark times in terms of health somehow reached me during right time. Thanks for your positive words. Hope you are doing okay. Pray for the fibroid shrinkage please 🙏.
You will come out of this!
tAKE CARE
We are praying for your speedy recovery, hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Sam & Alkesh for doing such content, I have been waiting for new episodes regularly and these are helping me to ground myself. To understand and follow your conversation, the audience should have minimum knowledge and I wish everyone gets that soon! Love you both ❤
Thank you for the kind words, we are glad that you are finding the content to be useful :)
This video wonderfully explores meditation and mindfulness, inspiring a balanced and peaceful life.
Dearest Sam & Alkesh, as always thank you so much for this amazing episode! Its doing so much good - learning & understanding new things & the different aspects about health & of course trying to implement them slowly but definitely! You 2 are doing a fabulous job. Keep going & doing such great episodes. And I Cant wait for the next one.! This episode has discussed many things & thoughts that keeps going on in me. And now I have a better understanding, thank you once again! I am soon going to start with meditation (focusing on breathe) atleast for few minutes like Alkesh mentioned because like Sam told a racing mind distracts us easily.. So happens with me! It's going to help with overthinking that I often complaint about myself. The example of mindfulness of closing our eyes and focusing on sounds is so good.. Have experienced that & now have a better understanding of mindfulness! Gonna practice that too. And Neti Neti sounds so good! I have understood the scientific importance of pursuing something of our interest to keep us centered & in flow state & help us through the process of meditation. Thank you for these insights & this podcast is doing wonders with respect to learning & implementation! Its truly beneficial. Much love & power to both of you! 🤗♥✨
Thank you, we are glad that you found the content to be of value :)
Thank you Sam for taking up this initiative and helping us.
This is such an insightful episode on the importance of meditation. Though I practice meditation for some time in a day to divert from all the external things I get affected by, you made me understand even more clearly how it is so essential & benefits our overall well-being on so many levels. Thank you ❤
Love you sam more than anything in the world
It was informative and detailed episode about meditation with all the terms that comes with it , really appreciate it and thanks 🎉
Absolutely amazing... Thank you so much Alkesh and Samantha. Alkesh you explained meditation, its basics and goal beautifully... Awesome episode.
Thanks for the information on meditation and its importance.Something that helps thought pattern to reframe it's marvelous.
Very relevant topic to today's times of stressful life in every age from school kids to elderly people. Meditation had to be inculcated for. primary schooling.
Much needed information..explained in a simple way..a very good episode👏❤️
Wow!! Thank you Samantha for this episode. I really liked it a lot & would try meditation going forward. I heard about meditation quite a lot of time through different podcast & videos. But this video is a clear picture of the result & benefits of meditation!!!

Thank you @Samantha and @Alkesh
Welcome, glad that you liked it :)
It was such a wonderful episode so much helpful and informative conversation between both i consistently start doing meditation
It's really nice that you're practicing meditation. Inner engineering designed by Sadhguru is a phenomenal program. If one practices this 21 min practice every day, it takes one into deep states of meditativeness very easily and the flow state persists throughout the day along with phenomenal energy. It heals the body so magically that many people come out of debilitating illnesses just by doing this practice. Please try to do this as well. It's been a life changing program for many and it will be for you as well.
In this video, Very helpful tips about mediation thank you so much . ❤
Thankyouuu for these life lessons, Truly a WONDERFUL Episode❤
Your take on meditation is very interesting . I am hoping you will elaborate more on this topic and practical ways to incorporate it and being consistent. I am hoping for another episode on this topic. Thank you

Journey of the soul, only begins when the outward journey has been shattered.

Hi Samantha-Kuddi🐣
I am very happy to see you laughing from the heart again.
(DE: Es freut mich sehr, dich wieder aus dem Herzen Lachen zu sehen.)
💙Kind regards from Erlenbach [Germany] | ❤Liebe Grüße aus Erlenbach [Deutschland]
We are with you Sam ❤
Meditation practices through simple tools like listening music or chanting mantra at badic level but reaching flow state in sync to meditative state we may be able to control five senses or even shut down
Sam, I am autoimmune patient suffering from scleroderma, and I started doing light healing meditation I have seen miracle but still not there at non dual state , but I will try.
It’s a great episode tbh n thanks for taking the initiative to start this kind of things as well …..
As someone who has seen loved ones who suffered from depression. There is a caveat to meditation and no one talks about it I don't know why. People who are overthinkers or are prone to depressive thoughts should not meditate. (initially), First approach to healing is always always movement. So go out for walks, play your fav music, join a gym or any form of outdoor sports, take in lots of sunlight, and breathwork!!!! omg it does wonders for everyone!!! (checkout so many great videos of that on youtube) and then gradually get into meditation after at least 3-4 months but again start with guided or mantra chanting instead of going into the silent meditation where you reflect or observe your thoughts.
Very Informative ! Thank you Sam!
Not millions views , U are releasing us from mental torture , we needs that medicine.💖. Before I don't know the solution for freeze response, what to do. But u said the meditation is the solution. It can just be a video to everyone, but to people like us, it was life changing ❤we are blessed to know this. And u are like God gift to tell us like the solution. 🥰🥳😇.Thanku sam heartfully ♥️😊😊😇. May God bless u and ur family with happiness,health and anxiety free life.🥰🥳🥳💕💕💕
