I wish a could cry. A few things happened in my life already but i never could cry. I felt that pain, misery inside that i should let it out somehow, but i literally can't cry.
There is another one good type of meditation. Meditating on your "inner dialogue". At night, before you go to sleep. It' simple: just seat comfortable, close your eyes, and listen your inner dialogue and watch your thoughts, But, key principle - you are only passive viewer, not an active speaker or participant. You don't have to try rule your mind and change your thoughts, just only watching. It really helps to figure out all this daily chaos in your mind and also helps a lot (!!!) for your morning meditation when you concentrating on your breathe.
Interesting. I liked this technique. Night be a willing observer of your mind crap and morning it will do well when you watch your breathe and get closer to you inner being . Beautiful play of -“ Give and Take” principle. Thanks. Will try. Been having trouble meditating and I often get frustrated.
yeah sometimes i just let my mind talk, usually its a load of rubbish just random phrases and words that ive heard throughout the day or my life. i notice that if i read a book where the author has a very distinct voice and rhythm of words in the day, i find my brain absent mindedly mimicking these rhythms when im alone with my thoughts, just spouting gibberish with a particular tone and cadence. or if i was watching a tv show earlier on in the day sometimes i just imagine the characters speaking with their unique voices. its really interesting im not really sure how best to explain it.
i heard to count down by 5 when you catch yourself in a negative thought. counting down is associated with a "reset" and your brain recognizes that which helps change your patterns of thought
Okay burger Yeah no it really doesn't help when you're pursuing a relationship, it's like any addiction- provides short term pleasure at a long term expense- you're stressed so you fap but then you're tired and can't do much also it distracts you from shit.
I have been meditating for at least 41 years. I still remember the beginning where I was so afraid to be alone with myself. Had to face all the demons in me. But as the years went by I started peeling off the nonsense, erasing the past. And embracing the present and the future. I went from meditating to praying. Where now I commune with God. And I feel He communes with me. I have direction in my life. I still don't have all the answers to all the questions in life. And that's okay. It's part of the mystery of life that brings beauty in our lives. I've learned slowly to pay attention to little details that otherwise I would have not noticed. Oh, there's so much I could share about this. I believe Nathaniel, who by the way my own son has that beautiful name, is an old soul. He is wise beyond his years. I am almost 60 years old and I'm listening to his videos. I love to learn from younger people. There is a lot they have to say. And we older people should listen. I feel like we have a lot in common. I, too speak Spanish and I'm learning Italian. I recently came from Italy and was able to practice it a little bit. I wish everyone that is reading this the best in their life. Fulfilled, abundant life. But that only comes when we have God in our hearts. I speak by experience.
I find it very difficult to meditate because I am severly depressed and I have so many deseases. I have IBS and Sinuitis and I have constant pain in my whole body. I can not sit for more than 2 minutes whenever I try to meditate. Please help.
@@namansrivastav2008 wish you health..its not important to sit straight... I'm currently doing a year meditation challenge and I'm using Waking up by Sam Harris (app... highly recommend) even if its pain, feel the pain how it is arises,well start with observing your breathe... Notice when the breathe arise and where in your body do you feel the most,the pause between two breathes and after that notice the sounds around you...if you can do it for 2 or 3 mins it's totally fine just tey to be consistent and for the posture sit how ever you're comfortable....i do it while sitting on my bed and i have a pillow behind my back.....and most people say that they start thinking and they get distracted notice when the thought arises...notice how an emotion (sadness, happiness ,stress, depression etc) arises and try to catch that and notice the thought itself and then try to focus in start you won't feel that you're progressing but whenever you'll get distracted and you remind yourself that you're meditating you're improving... You can do it ♥️
Been meditating for over four years now. It has drastically reduced my anxieties. Stopped biting my nails, lost 42 pounds and gave up drinking. I never could have imagined how powerful it is and what a positive change it could have facilitated for me.
If you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true. Namaste!
I started meditating after a very stressful period of time in my life and a week or two in, halfway through the session I would start crying. I realized that I had been keeping all the anxiety and sadness inside of me and only once I started getting to know my own mind I was able to let it all out. In the moment it happened of course it felt terrible, no one likes crying, but then I would sleep better, and I would wake up the next day feeling better. I've only done it for a month and three weeks so far, but I can see the changes already. Also it helped a lot with physical pain.
That is the paradox of meditation and why so few people really get into it.. hurts like hell at first (and also farther along lol), but that is because people have suppressed so much and have finally begun to look at it. But do you have the patience to wait for the mud to settle, as lao tzu asked :)
When you catch yourself drifting into thought during meditation, take a moment to appreciate the part of yourself that realized you went off track. Over time you will feel glad instead of disappointed when you drift off of the meditation object, and you will drift less often by positively reinforcing the subconscious mind. This process helped expedite my progress when I first started meditating.
The object and the goal of meditation is important. thorough cleansing of the mind off its impurities is possible through meditation which is easier said than done .it is a fruitful enjoyable and essential experience for spiritual growth .communication with the higher levels of consciousness becomes possible .to reach higher levels in meditation purity of thought s and mind is needed which in itself is a product of consistent and unwavering effort of doing meditation.
@Odd Jacobson Thank you very much for enlightening me. You helped me see this drift from a different perspective, it was one of the most irritating things in my meditation, Henceforth I will credit myself for finding that.
I highly recommend the book 'The Mind Illuminated'. It breaks down the path of meditation into 10 stages and gives you the tool you need to determine in which stage you are currently in, and then what you should do to move to the next stage. It is incredibly helpful.
I've been using headspace for 80 days after experiencing extremely scary panic attacks due to marijuana withdrawals. At this point I can say meditation is an amazing tool for dealing with anxiety, panic, and more. Far more useful than hiding from these thoughts with drugs. Honestly - I feel like meditation is going to be the next big leap in mental healthcare, but it doesn't have nearly the same profit motive as drugs so it won't be researched at the same rate.
Jimmy Henders It is a continuum. Meditation can have some effect, specific drug likely has bigger effect. What has bigger effect - acts through powerful pathway - sometimes can have some side effect as well. You can use both but should discard neither. To think only “natural” or “spiritual” practice helps is a fallacy. Everything is natural, and nature is not pure like in the Bible. It’s often in decay, full of toxins and poison, rotting animals...many drugs are “natural” substances amplified for bigger effect and purified for less side effects, nothing else.
@Didac Cerver that does not in any way change the fact that without entrepreneurs, businesses and investors you wouldnt have ever gotten the progress that we now have. Pretty much all we have is atributed to the markets. I am sorry but I dont want the government to create my phones - I will let the "horrible" capitalists do that.
@Didac Cerver You did not "overpay". This is just pure silly talk. You paid what the phone was worth. Have you studied economics? Like... at least once? These are the simplest of simple terms. Nobody cares about your idea or what you developed unless it's put into action. Without investors and businessmen taking on the massive risk of bringing this idea to use and production, you'd have shit. Capitalism united the world together. Enriched the world and allowed you to live the most comfortable life in the history of the human race. Your complaints make no sense and are based on the emotional backbone of "tHoSE gReEDy caPItaLisTs". Capitalism, in every country that was not burdened by war or other calamities, managed to supercharge its growth, prosperity, and progress. Saying otherwise is absolutely bonkers. If you want to live under any other economical system, be my guest. But let me just say, if you do, you are either just uneducated on how the world and economics work, or are just brain dead. I pray that its the first one.
@@calin6327 I just read both of you and I just wanted to say that you come up as a self-indulging asshole. Next time you have a debate (which is awesome), don't think that you know everything and everyone else is dumb. Cheers
you've changed my life and way to view Everything in a matter of (less than) a week. thank you. i'm starting my path as an essentialist because of you and your shared experiences. keep being awesome and inspiring people. muchas gracias por todo!! ps: this a 23yo Venezuelan that has been living in Argentina for a little over two years.
I've been meditating 1h every day for a year now and I can't imagine going back. Without mindfulness and awareness of the contents and state of your own mind, you are all day long just reacting off of programmed patterns (even though it might feel like "you" are in control, you really aren't)
That's a powerful practice. Are you familiar with stream-entry? I recommend checking r/streamentry on Reddit and search the top posts. The Mind Illuminated is also a great book.
I once stopped meditating for while, when my ex was like "it's just sitting down, sorry but it's stupid" if i gave criticism for anything she did, she totally started to rage, cry and threaten to leave. When i pointed out, that she can't disrespect something i did, she was all like "I have rights to say my opinion" Stated to notice her narcissism right after i found a way to get rid of her and started to meditate more again.
Glad for you. I left my wife a year ago after years of similar experience including nearly daily verbal belittling that wore down my self esteem. I love to break situations down without bias so as to find the closest to the truth and am open to new perspectives. She was “always right” and refused to listen to my opinion regularly if it was opposing or non parallel to her own. This would lead to actual yelling on her part if I refused to accept her view for unwavering truth. I could not progress personally as long as I was in this relationship. Within a day after moving in with my dad, I naturally turned to healthy living habits of good sleeping habits, daily outdoor exercise early in the morning, fresh vegetarian diet with no preservatives, meditation, and journaling my thoughts. I am so very thankful for this past year of my own life and am very excited to be who I am. I will not let anyone stay in my life who treats me like she did again.
Whenever I meditate, I feel as if I can clearly listen to my mind and feel my thoughts organize themselves. It is such a beautiful experience. I should meditate more consistently and document my reflections on it. Thank you for this beautiful video!
You can also go deeply into your thoughts and emotions to examine them! They are important expressions of yourself and can provide important answers and clarity on important things in your life. Yes you can sometimes just passively watch your breath to relax however there are more active meditations that you can engage in. This is called philosophical meditation. You can find out more about it on school of life channel.
Has anyone else had psychedelic experiences while meditating? When I was 21 I dedicated myself to the practice 1-2 hrs a day for a year and remained sober throughout this time. During this time I had 5 experiences that have changed my life. 1. Out of body -floating over my neighborhood and observing details. 2. Growing to the size of my room. 3. Falling through my floor into my garage from the second story. 4. Out of body - floating over 4 versions of myself sitting in a circle. 5. Weightless; feeling only my nervous system. Most every experience throughout the year was accompanied by physical sensations and extreme clarity. I am now 30 and am trying to get back on track to practice daily. This video is very encouraging. Thank you!
I have felt weightlessness and my arms and fingers being almost detached from my body as well as my hands feeling like im holding the weight of my whole bed even though my hands are actually on top of my bed lol (like an upside down effect) (i like meditating laying down). The feeling is so strange but being aware that you are aware is so strong, and if you dont panic but keep at it, its so peaceful. Sounds like you had some interesting experiences. Keep at it and hope it provides you inner peace. 😊
@@bgtechno93 That sounds incredible. Remembering to feel your body as you relax is very important. I've never tried meditating laying down as I think I'd fall asleep but I will have to experiment with that. I know what you mean by not panicking. These sensations can be pretty terrifying at first but it is when you push through that real progress is made. I am still at it and had my first deep meditation after a month of getting back to it. It was like a floodgate opened in my head. 45 minute sessions are pretty key. Thanks for sharing.
„It felt like there was a whole universe to explore in my mind“ This is exactly what I felt now and then after meditating. And afterwards there is this feeling of total clarity which is simply phenomenal !
Astounding! I've been regularly meditating for five years and I think you're doing a phenomenal job. I'm glad you've not only committed yourself to the practice, but you're also sharing it with others in a very motivating and cordial manner!
I started meditation recently . It's the most amazing thing.. once I meditated in a hill top, near my neighborhood... Oh my god... I felt the most powerful and strong... Cannot explain the exact feeling
Thanks for mentioning Sam Harris, he started me on meditation. I truly agree with you that it is the best part of my day. Your sincerity is so well communicated.
The more I watch your vids, I appreciate your videography, editing and story telling. Its so well put together and I can clearly see all the effort you put in. Keep it up man another great video!
Meditation has helped me in everything I do. It just slightly tweaked my mindset, and I feel more content. I really do feel just about "10% happier", which is pretty great for 10 minutes a day.
10% is huge, and I actually feel more than that lately since I started to do longer sessions every evening (30-60 min in addition to 10 min in the morning). Didn't believe it would have such an affect in my daily life, but it did. I guess you have read the Dan Harris book, I can recommend the podcast too if you haven't checked it out.
I started meditating this year after starting therapy for anxiety/ocd, daily meditation and yoga has helped me so much. I’m only on a two week streak and it isn’t always easy, but I’m amazed at the improvement I’ve already seen!
Absolutely love this, man. I’ve been going through an extremely difficult time in my life and haven’t been consistent with journaling or meditating or even exercising. I’ve been severely anxious and depressed to be completely honest and I’ve had my face glued to a screen to keep myself from dealing with these issues but I know I need to get back on track with my journaling, meditation and exercise to really start feeling better again. Thanks for all you do.
Luisa F. Honestly time helped me the most. But recognizing there was a problem and I was not okay was half the battle. For so long I pretended I was when I wasn’t. When you realize there’s a problem, then you’re halfway there. Meditating really helped ease the mind and helped me realize I can’t live my life digitally and need to face real life and my real emotions. Exercising helped a lot too. Being active really helps relieve stress and helped me reduce my anxiety. And it made me feel good about myself. I journaled some but I wish I had done it more. I think writing helped so much when I did do it. I also reached out to my mom, someone I wasn’t the absolute closest with, but honestly I was really scared and it was probably the lowest I had ever been. Talking even just a little with her helped. Knowing there’s someone there just to listen makes it feel better. You don’t have to share everything all at once but just the little things helps. I hope you are okay and feel better soon. You are not alone.
Meditation has helped me so much. I been doing it daily maybe twice a day for about a month and it has lowered my blood pressure. My blood pressure was high about 3 months ago and my doctor said it was stress and anxiety driven. I knew I didnt want to take any medication. Prayer and meditation did it for me🙏 Blood pressure is normal and I no longer have anxiety. Its amazing
I stopped looking for love when i found myself, meditation helped me do this. I know you will find more and more clarity, just stay open to opportunities coming and remember to be good to yourself.
I've been here almost from the begining, and I just want to say that I'm proud of you in so many ways. I feel like we grow together, almost like friends, even if we will never meet. Keep up, you are doing something very important!
ive been meditating for 4 days now. the things ive learnt so far is this - i know undoubtedly that if i learn to maintain this, this will help me fix everything about myself. i feel like i've found my teacher. in such a short time, ive felt more internally and naturally than i have in years. i really wish more people would do this
6:14 "It's part of the process. It's not good or bad, and there is no good or bad" After meditating for more than a year now, I've realized that understanding that feelings, thoughts, emotions, and life moments and as well as even meditation has no good or bad. Nothing that we think of or feel is necessarily good or bad. Our minds or the way we put a perspective on things especially for example, saying "ah yes, I do love that feeling" or "that feeling is terrible! i hate that" is the reason for why things are good and bad. If we observe for what the feeling is truly, as just a feeling or just a thought or just an emotion or just a moment then that's all it will ever be. That is the beauty of understanding nothing is good or bad. It's just there, and that is all. "If you watch the river, you are out of the river" "If you watch the feeling, you are out of the feeling"
One of the only true commentaries on zazen meditation and its a shame how few likes it has compared to “a world inside my own mind”. You shouldnt be exploring a world inside your mind, but observing how the outside world and inside mind are of the same. Two sides of the same coin
Meditation is life changing! It has transformed my life like nothing else. I encourage anyone that has given up the practice to keep trying- it gets easier! Truly it’s a window into the subconscious mind. GREAT video!!!
It was BER months last year, when I started practicing meditation and it literally changed me. I felt so peaceful and calm knowing that I'd been so temperamental and easy to provoke but when difficult things came my way, I was just.. calm. But this year, I just stopped meditating I dont know why and I forgot when I stop meditating but yesterday, I wanted to try it again and started practicing and so far, I still get anxious and overthink some other time but I guess if I will practice consistently I believe I'll achieve that peaceful and calm and mindful experience again. :)
@@bluerain369 I haven't noticed it myself, the only thing I noticed was the changes within me because I have found my peace. But one of my boss noticed it and gave me a compliment before that I was glowing and blooming. And that I realized Meditation really makes you feel so much self-love that makes you glow especially if you have found your peace and calm within you. 😁
Excellent...! I too have been meditating for just over 1-year...30-minutes every morning. Your advice is perfect...start small if you need to; first thing in the day; let your thoughts come and go without trying to manage them. I might add more time. But so far, 30-minutes feels perfect. Happy for you!!
I meditated for a full year every day and it was a massive challenge, yet the results were worth it. I encourage everyone to try it. It teaches you discipline, it teaches your mind to be more focused (sometimes) :) and mostly it teaches you a habit for life.
@@ggghatz When you enter the stream of impermanence and let go of future and past, every day you feel like a new person and every yesterday feels like it happened a year ago.
It seems to be such an easy thing, not to be caught in anxiety and struggle, just take one step back, relax and meditate. And then suddenly WOW, the whole world of possibilities opens for you. The world you would have simply missed living unconsciously rolling on with the stress and not being able to “see the picture” more widely. And the key word that makes a difference here is... MEDITATION 🧘♀️ ❤️👍
Consistent prayer, excerise and meditation have helped me more than any other things in my life. I used to take tafil (Mexico Xanax) 40 min of meditation split up in morning and afternoon has been a God send, I have very little to no anxiety now compared to when I was taking 2mg daily
i like the way you see this whole process, idk meditation feels to me like a window to hope, or acturally a window to the place you dont even need hope.
Wow you have changed, your heart is shining, you are calmer, you are more connected to your higher self and the words you speak are from that higher place. Gratitude for your honesty and courage. God is stillness
Meditation is a big word for simply being into the present moment, I recommend The Power of Now from Eckhart Tolle. Life changing book for me (I'm only 19). Try to be as present as possible 😃
ciaran perry different people help different people realize and understand certain things that others don’t understand from the same people. An example of this is music, people listen to music because of how it makes them feel for the most part. Not everyone likes the same artists yet most artists will rap/sing about the same thing. Therefore..no matter who you learn from, as long as you learn is what matters. Don’t spread hate on something just because it didn’t suit you, you push people away from reading the book themselves when they probably would’ve learned it better through that then another author
Thank you for this. I've been trying to be consistent with meditation for a while now to deal with depression and anxiety and not getting anywhere near as consistent as I want to be. But the quote at the beginning of the video really hit me because I've been expecting an immediate fix or to see immediate effects. That's what I've been focused on, and instead ignore the quiet meditative moments I have with myself, which now that I think about it, I really truly enjoy.
LOVED THIS VIDEO!! Everything on it, the content, the edit, the photography. Beautiful work! Meditation is the best thing that have happened to my life too ❣️
Sadhguru says it is yoga, that makes you explore what you really are. In india you learn that you are the universe. Not the body, neither the mind. Yoga= you experience everything as yourself
Meditation is the practice of becoming familiar with and identifying who we really are, by being the observer rather than the victim of our thoughts that creates the holographic universe which we perceive as reality. Peace and Love... 🙏💜
@@overlordborn6131 You're not paying attention. Its suppose to be practiced in conjunction with cardiovascular exercise. All athletes do it. It's not a controversial task.
just recently started my journey.. and i can already feel how meditating has added more structure, peace, and mindfulness in my life.. definitely worth trying and exploring!
Love your current frequency. Patience , curiosity for the universe & love is all I feel ♥️♥️ thanks for working on you that’s the only way we can heal the world
Never thought you spoke that seriously if I'm honest, it feels more "introspective", like you're sharing your personal thoughts. Meditation is a game changer for me, there's a thousand and one things I could say about it, but agree with many of the points you made here
@Guillermo Lombana Wow it seems you have been a great experience. I guess that when we are aware of our breath, of our step, of each thing that surround us we can live the present, the now. I can be in that dimension every time I want or need. Even if it is not always easy. But meditations help me. I can say the same for stretching or running. But staying focused as well. Our mind is always trying to tune us on past or future . Tune on your inner voice, The important is you are there. In every breath. In every moment. a big hug. Ale
ciaran perry Ekhart Tolle simplified a lot of Buddhism teaching and makes the wisdom more accessible to people who might not resonate with Buddhism teaching. I’m a Buddhist and I can appreciate his writing.
Thank you! I've been listening to guided meditations because i felt like failure when i couldn't keep my mind quiet for even a minute, but now i realise its just practise and just doing it. Lettjng go of expectations. I think it is faith that brought me here. Thanks a lot. Namaste
I started meditating with headspeace too 3 months ago. I've always been curious about it and only now finally tried it. I didn't expect it to be the way it is, its very simple in concept but harder to master but its really worth it. I like how you said "why wouldn't i meditate" cause that's how I started feeling not long after beginning. It teaches to see the things you haven't noticed before that have always been around and to be present. I never really knew or understood why its important and why I should even be present when I love being in my head so much thinking about my life, but you never really realize in the process of minding your life your life passes right by right before your eyes. It teaches how to live life in the moment
Many of us know that meditation can be beneficial, but did you know that it is actually one of the most convenient ways to make a drastic improvement to your mental health and physical wellness? Practicing mindful meditation is good for more than just peace of mind. It can actually change your life.
After five years of meditation (four years of vipassana) finally, I know how to deal with my anxiety. it didn't go away, but life I much easier than before. I grew up with an intense desire of killing myself (I felt that the world was too much, too heavy). I didn't know how people were able to live with so much pain. Even when my family was very supportive and lovely, I felt like an alien between them (an angry alien). The path wasn't at all easy, indeed was the most difficult thing in my life, and I don't think that I am a master in meditating, but I know how to deal with strong, negative, heavy emotions. That gave me the possibility of not being so much centered on myself and listen more. I like that. When I listen I disappeared.
so grateful this popped up in my recommended... i know this was posted awhile back. thank you this video is very informational. absolutely encouraging. i wanna be a regular meditator thankkk you.💜
Great having this long-term perspective. Everyone reading this can make a change to live their dream. Habits are the key to achieving our goals (IMO) which is why I created a youtube channel about using them. I believe you can do it!
IMO no. Meditation becomes useful to create a detachment from "dreams" and live a peaceful life without illusions. if you are a content creator, mediation could be used to have more clarity. Be careful with your goals you create them and they manipulate you
@@MauryExplorer_ I don't think a dream has do be an illusion if you turn it into a goal and put in the work to achieve it. I use meditation to be able to concentrate better and I believe it is quite useful. I don't think you should try to detach from your dream, but that's for you to decide. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I'm practicing meditation since July, on daily basis 1 hour compalsery and 2 hours on weekends. I'm more focused, calm and patient then before. I pledged to change myself in 2019 with my habits. I reduced some and add some. Meditation is one of the them and I'm happy with my choice it's a wonderful technique to understand your self better. I still struggle but it's helping me in my daily routine. Meditation = free medicine of brain + technique of knowing yourself better
Hey! @@zalfadaulah4890, I made lots of changes in my daily life, from quiting drinking and smoking to changing my diet, starting exercise, mediation, sleeping time to sleeping position, started reading books and alot more little changes.
magicspells I haven’t seen any actual experiments but just based off the idea that meditation helps people be present, calm and learn around their minds, if people were taught how to do this from an early age we’d all be more happier, content people. That’s just my opinion though, I respect if you have a different one.
“95% of what I’m freaking out about right now has been invented by my own mind” Damn dude. Thank you.

When I was meditating this morning I just started crying. Meditation for me helps release all that built up tension
I believe that will be my experience godly
I thought I was the only one that has experienced this
I cry everytime too
god i thought im the only freak who cries during meditation
I wish a could cry. A few things happened in my life already but i never could cry. I felt that pain, misery inside that i should let it out somehow, but i literally can't cry.
Meditation doesnt give the answer, it destroys the question.
That's so True
¿Pero meditar por meditar, no sería algo vacío?
That’s the whole point really
Yes its true because if there is answer then the answer will give birth to new question and it goes on.
Excellent quote 🙏🏻
Anyone who meditates knows that’s a huge accomplishment.
True :p
Oh yes!
How long did you meditate for?
One year ain’t shit
Yes it is... even my life is incomplete without meditation Pranayaam and worship of god🙏🙏
There is another one good type of meditation. Meditating on your "inner dialogue". At night, before you go to sleep. It' simple: just seat comfortable, close your eyes, and listen your inner dialogue and watch your thoughts, But, key principle - you are only passive viewer, not an active speaker or participant. You don't have to try rule your mind and change your thoughts, just only watching. It really helps to figure out all this daily chaos in your mind and also helps a lot (!!!) for your morning meditation when you concentrating on your breathe.

Does it get scary and painfull for you?
@Guillermo Lombana same here how to overcome
Interesting. I liked this technique. Night be a willing observer of your mind crap and morning it will do well when you watch your breathe and get closer to you inner being . Beautiful play of -“ Give and Take” principle. Thanks. Will try. Been having trouble meditating and I often get frustrated.
yeah sometimes i just let my mind talk, usually its a load of rubbish just random phrases and words that ive heard throughout the day or my life. i notice that if i read a book where the author has a very distinct voice and rhythm of words in the day, i find my brain absent mindedly mimicking these rhythms when im alone with my thoughts, just spouting gibberish with a particular tone and cadence. or if i was watching a tv show earlier on in the day sometimes i just imagine the characters speaking with their unique voices. its really interesting im not really sure how best to explain it.
i heard to count down by 5 when you catch yourself in a negative thought. counting down is associated with a "reset" and your brain recognizes that which helps change your patterns of thought
Interesting!

Helps if I get angry.
Will implement this technique thank you!

I have been meditating for at least 41 years. I still remember the beginning where I was so afraid to be alone with myself. Had to face all the demons in me. But as the years went by I started peeling off the nonsense, erasing the past. And embracing the present and the future. I went from meditating to praying. Where now I commune with God. And I feel He communes with me. I have direction in my life. I still don't have all the answers to all the questions in life. And that's okay. It's part of the mystery of life that brings beauty in our lives. I've learned slowly to pay attention to little details that otherwise I would have not noticed. Oh, there's so much I could share about this. I believe Nathaniel, who by the way my own son has that beautiful name, is an old soul. He is wise beyond his years. I am almost 60 years old and I'm listening to his videos. I love to learn from younger people. There is a lot they have to say. And we older people should listen. I feel like we have a lot in common. I, too speak Spanish and I'm learning Italian. I recently came from Italy and was able to practice it a little bit. I wish everyone that is reading this the best in their life. Fulfilled, abundant life. But that only comes when we have God in our hearts. I speak by experience.
Thank you for sharing.😊

I find it very difficult to meditate because I am severly depressed and I have so many deseases. I have IBS and Sinuitis and I have constant pain in my whole body. I can not sit for more than 2 minutes whenever I try to meditate. Please help.
@@namansrivastav2008 wish you health..its not important to sit straight... I'm currently doing a year meditation challenge and I'm using Waking up by Sam Harris (app... highly recommend) even if its pain, feel the pain how it is arises,well start with observing your breathe... Notice when the breathe arise and where in your body do you feel the most,the pause between two breathes and after that notice the sounds around you...if you can do it for 2 or 3 mins it's totally fine just tey to be consistent and for the posture sit how ever you're comfortable....i do it while sitting on my bed and i have a pillow behind my back.....and most people say that they start thinking and they get distracted notice when the thought arises...notice how an emotion (sadness, happiness ,stress, depression etc) arises and try to catch that and notice the thought itself and then try to focus in start you won't feel that you're progressing but whenever you'll get distracted and you remind yourself that you're meditating you're improving... You can do it ♥️
Meditation saved my life. I have nothing else to add.

@@lucasbrum5643 no need to ask, start meditating and you will see.
Im happy for you bud and i hope its not too late for me to get good.
I can say its not too late! If you want it you are already in the path of change. Meditation is what the world needs
Been meditating for over four years now. It has drastically reduced my anxieties. Stopped biting my nails, lost 42 pounds and gave up drinking. I never could have imagined how powerful it is and what a positive change it could have facilitated for me.
4 years in a row?
They call it ‘practicing’ meditation for a reason. Don’t be too tough on yourself. Thanks for the inspiration.
i meditate on a daily basis for 3 years now. My whole world change. keep going it will be a game changer.
Changed how?

@@tormenta4life that's completely fine, everybody feels that way once in a while. Don't worry...
I started meditating after a very stressful period of time in my life and a week or two in, halfway through the session I would start crying. I realized that I had been keeping all the anxiety and sadness inside of me and only once I started getting to know my own mind I was able to let it all out. In the moment it happened of course it felt terrible, no one likes crying, but then I would sleep better, and I would wake up the next day feeling better. I've only done it for a month and three weeks so far, but I can see the changes already. Also it helped a lot with physical pain.
Does it be easy to do? Whenever I tried lot of physical pain going through the body.. looking like nature is opposing me
You can pat yourself on your back. You are on the right track. But please be sure of being consistent with your meditation.
That is the paradox of meditation and why so few people really get into it.. hurts like hell at first (and also farther along lol), but that is because people have suppressed so much and have finally begun to look at it.
But do you have the patience to wait for the mud to settle, as lao tzu asked :)
@@vivek96h thanks for your positive words😊
Amazing! Hope you’re well hun 💫🙏🏾
When you catch yourself drifting into thought during meditation, take a moment to appreciate the part of yourself that realized you went off track. Over time you will feel glad instead of disappointed when you drift off of the meditation object, and you will drift less often by positively reinforcing the subconscious mind. This process helped expedite my progress when I first started meditating.
This is great advice.
The object and the goal of meditation is important. thorough cleansing of the mind off its impurities is possible through meditation which is easier said than done .it is a fruitful enjoyable and essential experience for spiritual growth .communication with the higher levels of consciousness becomes possible .to reach higher levels in meditation purity of thought s and mind is needed which in itself is a product of consistent and unwavering effort of doing meditation.
@Odd Jacobson
Thank you very much for enlightening me. You helped me see this drift from a different perspective, it was one of the most irritating things in my meditation, Henceforth I will credit myself for finding that.
That's a really good advice.

Meditation is one of the priceless gift I gave to myself. It is antivirus for the mind.
I highly recommend the book 'The Mind Illuminated'.
It breaks down the path of meditation into 10 stages and gives you the tool you need to determine in which stage you are currently in, and then what you should do to move to the next stage. It is incredibly helpful.
I've been using headspace for 80 days after experiencing extremely scary panic attacks due to marijuana withdrawals.
At this point I can say meditation is an amazing tool for dealing with anxiety, panic, and more. Far more useful than hiding from these thoughts with drugs.
Honestly - I feel like meditation is going to be the next big leap in mental healthcare, but it doesn't have nearly the same profit motive as drugs so it won't be researched at the same rate.
Jimmy Henders It is a continuum. Meditation can have some effect, specific drug likely has bigger effect. What has bigger effect - acts through powerful pathway - sometimes can have some side effect as well. You can use both but should discard neither.
To think only “natural” or “spiritual” practice helps is a fallacy. Everything is natural, and nature is not pure like in the Bible. It’s often in decay, full of toxins and poison, rotting animals...many drugs are “natural” substances amplified for bigger effect and purified for less side effects, nothing else.
@Didac Cerver that does not in any way change the fact that without entrepreneurs, businesses and investors you wouldnt have ever gotten the progress that we now have. Pretty much all we have is atributed to the markets. I am sorry but I dont want the government to create my phones - I will let the "horrible" capitalists do that.
@Didac Cerver You did not "overpay". This is just pure silly talk. You paid what the phone was worth. Have you studied economics? Like... at least once? These are the simplest of simple terms.
Nobody cares about your idea or what you developed unless it's put into action. Without investors and businessmen taking on the massive risk of bringing this idea to use and production, you'd have shit.
Capitalism united the world together. Enriched the world and allowed you to live the most comfortable life in the history of the human race. Your complaints make no sense and are based on the emotional backbone of "tHoSE gReEDy caPItaLisTs".
Capitalism, in every country that was not burdened by war or other calamities, managed to supercharge its growth, prosperity, and progress. Saying otherwise is absolutely bonkers.
If you want to live under any other economical system, be my guest. But let me just say, if you do, you are either just uneducated on how the world and economics work, or are just brain dead. I pray that its the first one.

I've been meditating 1h every day for a year now and I can't imagine going back. Without mindfulness and awareness of the contents and state of your own mind, you are all day long just reacting off of programmed patterns (even though it might feel like "you" are in control, you really aren't)
I love your tutorials by the way.

That's a powerful practice. Are you familiar with stream-entry? I recommend checking r/streamentry on Reddit and search the top posts. The Mind Illuminated is also a great book.
Nathaniel is so humble in everything he says, you can truly see that he just wants to enjoy and experience life. A true student of the universe.
I once stopped meditating for while, when my ex was like "it's just sitting down, sorry but it's stupid" if i gave criticism for anything she did, she totally started to rage, cry and threaten to leave. When i pointed out, that she can't disrespect something i did, she was all like "I have rights to say my opinion"
Stated to notice her narcissism right after i found a way to get rid of her and started to meditate more again.
Glad for you.
I left my wife a year ago after years of similar experience including nearly daily verbal belittling that wore down my self esteem. I love to break situations down without bias so as to find the closest to the truth and am open to new perspectives. She was “always right” and refused to listen to my opinion regularly if it was opposing or non parallel to her own. This would lead to actual yelling on her part if I refused to accept her view for unwavering truth. I could not progress personally as long as I was in this relationship.
Within a day after moving in with my dad, I naturally turned to healthy living habits of good sleeping habits, daily outdoor exercise early in the morning, fresh vegetarian diet with no preservatives, meditation, and journaling my thoughts.
I am so very thankful for this past year of my own life and am very excited to be who I am. I will not let anyone stay in my life who treats me like she did again.
@@artistmexican i am happy for you
Great work bro 😂😂😂
you accepted her but she couldn't accept you. you did good, you'll be fine brother
Good bounce that bitch.
Whenever I meditate, I feel as if I can clearly listen to my mind and feel my thoughts organize themselves. It is such a beautiful experience. I should meditate more consistently and document my reflections on it. Thank you for this beautiful video!
You can also go deeply into your thoughts and emotions to examine them! They are important expressions of yourself and can provide important answers and clarity on important things in your life. Yes you can sometimes just passively watch your breath to relax however there are more active meditations that you can engage in. This is called philosophical meditation. You can find out more about it on school of life channel.
How do you meditate? Sitting or lying down?
Has anyone else had psychedelic experiences while meditating? When I was 21 I dedicated myself to the practice 1-2 hrs a day for a year and remained sober throughout this time. During this time I had 5 experiences that have changed my life.
1. Out of body -floating over my neighborhood and observing details.
2. Growing to the size of my room.
3. Falling through my floor into my garage from the second story.
4. Out of body - floating over 4 versions of myself sitting in a circle.
5. Weightless; feeling only my nervous system.
Most every experience throughout the year was accompanied by physical sensations and extreme clarity. I am now 30 and am trying to get back on track to practice daily. This video is very encouraging. Thank you!
I have felt weightlessness and my arms and fingers being almost detached from my body as well as my hands feeling like im holding the weight of my whole bed even though my hands are actually on top of my bed lol (like an upside down effect) (i like meditating laying down). The feeling is so strange but being aware that you are aware is so strong, and if you dont panic but keep at it, its so peaceful. Sounds like you had some interesting experiences. Keep at it and hope it provides you inner peace. 😊
@@bgtechno93 That sounds incredible. Remembering to feel your body as you relax is very important. I've never tried meditating laying down as I think I'd fall asleep but I will have to experiment with that. I know what you mean by not panicking. These sensations can be pretty terrifying at first but it is when you push through that real progress is made. I am still at it and had my first deep meditation after a month of getting back to it. It was like a floodgate opened in my head. 45 minute sessions are pretty key. Thanks for sharing.
@@bgtechno93 as above so below. what you experienced was a little bit of the TRUTH
I like meditating standing up. I feel like it gives a place for legs that sitting could never do.
Irishdogster why did you stop meditating bro wtfff your on to sum
I know myself so very well because of meditation. I've cultivated unshakable inner strength.

I started meditation recently . It's the most amazing thing.. once I meditated in a hill top, near my neighborhood... Oh my god... I felt the most powerful and strong... Cannot explain the exact feeling
Sounds awesome

Thanks for mentioning Sam Harris, he started me on meditation. I truly agree with you that it is the best part of my day. Your sincerity is so well communicated.
"let the exprience excites you" whoooo. I love that
I love your presence. You have such a calming energy and it is contagious. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so proud for you.
The more I watch your vids, I appreciate your videography, editing and story telling. Its so well put together and I can clearly see all the effort you put in. Keep it up man another great video!
Meditation has helped me in everything I do. It just slightly tweaked my mindset, and I feel more content. I really do feel just about "10% happier", which is pretty great for 10 minutes a day.
10% is huge, and I actually feel more than that lately since I started to do longer sessions every evening (30-60 min in addition to 10 min in the morning). Didn't believe it would have such an affect in my daily life, but it did. I guess you have read the Dan Harris book, I can recommend the podcast too if you haven't checked it out.
I feel 12.34%
I started meditating this year after starting therapy for anxiety/ocd, daily meditation and yoga has helped me so much. I’m only on a two week streak and it isn’t always easy, but I’m amazed at the improvement I’ve already seen!
I also have ocd so I'm trying meditation. Do you practice guided meditation?
Balthier Ludenberg yes! There’s a lot of good ones on TH-cam, i use the Calm app too.
@@pneaplpizza thank you, I will start meditating today!
Absolutely love this, man. I’ve been going through an extremely difficult time in my life and haven’t been consistent with journaling or meditating or even exercising. I’ve been severely anxious and depressed to be completely honest and I’ve had my face glued to a screen to keep myself from dealing with these issues but I know I need to get back on track with my journaling, meditation and exercise to really start feeling better again. Thanks for all you do.
Anthony Greene likewise! Get well and keep at it fellow human being.
"face glued to a screen" is me right now. I'm trying to get my thoughts together. Thanks for the comment. Lets do our best!
Anthony i feel you brother... I hope you are okay.
I'm currently feeling just like you describe, what help you the most?
Luisa F. Honestly time helped me the most. But recognizing there was a problem and I was not okay was half the battle. For so long I pretended I was when I wasn’t. When you realize there’s a problem, then you’re halfway there. Meditating really helped ease the mind and helped me realize I can’t live my life digitally and need to face real life and my real emotions. Exercising helped a lot too. Being active really helps relieve stress and helped me reduce my anxiety. And it made me feel good about myself. I journaled some but I wish I had done it more. I think writing helped so much when I did do it. I also reached out to my mom, someone I wasn’t the absolute closest with, but honestly I was really scared and it was probably the lowest I had ever been. Talking even just a little with her helped. Knowing there’s someone there just to listen makes it feel better. You don’t have to share everything all at once but just the little things helps. I hope you are okay and feel better soon. You are not alone.
Meditation has helped me so much. I been doing it daily maybe twice a day for about a month and it has lowered my blood pressure. My blood pressure was high about 3 months ago and my doctor said it was stress and anxiety driven. I knew I didnt want to take any medication. Prayer and meditation did it for me🙏 Blood pressure is normal and I no longer have anxiety. Its amazing
I have anxeity disorder. Can i recover from it by doing meditation practice?
I stopped looking for love when i found myself, meditation helped me do this.
I know you will find more and more clarity, just stay open to opportunities coming and remember to be good to yourself.
I've been here almost from the begining, and I just want to say that I'm proud of you in so many ways. I feel like we grow together, almost like friends, even if we will never meet. Keep up, you are doing something very important!

ive been meditating for 4 days now. the things ive learnt so far is this - i know undoubtedly that if i learn to maintain this, this will help me fix everything about myself. i feel like i've found my teacher. in such a short time, ive felt more internally and naturally than i have in years. i really wish more people would do this

"It's part of the process. It's not good or bad, and there is no good or bad"
After meditating for more than a year now, I've realized that understanding that feelings, thoughts, emotions, and life moments and as well as even meditation has no good or bad. Nothing that we think of or feel is necessarily good or bad. Our minds or the way we put a perspective on things especially for example, saying "ah yes, I do love that feeling" or "that feeling is terrible! i hate that" is the reason for why things are good and bad. If we observe for what the feeling is truly, as just a feeling or just a thought or just an emotion or just a moment then that's all it will ever be. That is the beauty of understanding nothing is good or bad. It's just there, and that is all.
"If you watch the river, you are out of the river"
"If you watch the feeling, you are out of the feeling"
Totally agree, to really meditate is to see that this moment is good enough.
"for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
@@Maria-jl8zf My favorite quote of all time
One of the only true commentaries on zazen meditation and its a shame how few likes it has compared to “a world inside my own mind”. You shouldnt be exploring a world inside your mind, but observing how the outside world and inside mind are of the same. Two sides of the same coin
Fierce vfx Sounds a lot like the Buddhism.
I've been watching your videos for a while and I just want you to know you are a beautiful human being, thank you for being you.
The fact that trying to do nothing is so difficult just shows how impatient we are
Just listening to you talk encourages me to want to meditate more.
Your home is beautiful. Your country looks so tranquil. Watching your video itself is so relaxing and inspiring. Thanks for sharing everything
I think you hit a goal of meditation : to help others to try it
Meditation is life changing! It has transformed my life like nothing else. I encourage anyone that has given up the practice to keep trying- it gets easier! Truly it’s a window into the subconscious mind. GREAT video!!!
Agree
It was BER months last year, when I started practicing meditation and it literally changed me. I felt so peaceful and calm knowing that I'd been so temperamental and easy to provoke but when difficult things came my way, I was just.. calm. But this year, I just stopped meditating I dont know why and I forgot when I stop meditating but yesterday, I wanted to try it again and started practicing and so far, I still get anxious and overthink some other time but I guess if I will practice consistently I believe I'll achieve that peaceful and calm and mindful experience again. :)

Happy for you!!
I meditated for a full year every day and it was a massive challenge, yet the results were worth it. I encourage everyone to try it. It teaches you discipline, it teaches your mind to be more focused (sometimes) :) and mostly it teaches you a habit for life.
How long did it take you to go up from an hour a day to a full year a day?
@@ggghatz When you enter the stream of impermanence and let go of future and past, every day you feel like a new person and every yesterday feels like it happened a year ago.
It seems to be such an easy thing, not to be caught in anxiety and struggle, just take one step back, relax and meditate. And then suddenly WOW, the whole world of possibilities opens for you. The world you would have simply missed living unconsciously rolling on with the stress and not being able to “see the picture” more widely. And the key word that makes a difference here is...

Meditation is a big word for simply being into the present moment, I recommend The Power of Now from Eckhart Tolle. Life changing book for me (I'm only 19). Try to be as present as possible 😃
@ciaran perry this book goes beyond just mindfulness. It speaks to your true being
ciaran perry different people help different people realize and understand certain things that others don’t understand from the same people. An example of this is music, people listen to music because of how it makes them feel for the most part. Not everyone likes the same artists yet most artists will rap/sing about the same thing. Therefore..no matter who you learn from, as long as you learn is what matters. Don’t spread hate on something just because it didn’t suit you, you push people away from reading the book themselves when they probably would’ve learned it better through that then another author
Hii will u be my frnd

Thank you for this. I've been trying to be consistent with meditation for a while now to deal with depression and anxiety and not getting anywhere near as consistent as I want to be. But the quote at the beginning of the video really hit me because I've been expecting an immediate fix or to see immediate effects. That's what I've been focused on, and instead ignore the quiet meditative moments I have with myself, which now that I think about it, I really truly enjoy.
Thank you for sharing your experience and your honesty. I enjoyed listening to your experience.

Llevo 11 días meditando y la verdad es que me está cambiando la forma en la que reaccionaba antes, ahora soy mucho más paciente y menos impulsivo.
Meditation quiets the mind and opens the heart and soul!
Sadhguru says it is yoga, that makes you explore what you really are. In india you learn that you are the universe. Not the body, neither the mind. Yoga= you experience everything as yourself
Took me quite some effort and knowledge but by now I meditate already for more than 2 years every day :) such a blessing
Meditation is the practice of becoming familiar with and identifying who we really are, by being the observer rather than the victim of our thoughts that creates the holographic universe which we perceive as reality.
Peace and Love... 🙏💜

Never thought you spoke that seriously if I'm honest, it feels more "introspective", like you're sharing your personal thoughts. Meditation is a game changer for me, there's a thousand and one things I could say about it, but agree with many of the points you made here
i strongly recommend "the power of now" by eckhart tolle
Music makesmefeelalive I loved that book
@Guillermo Lombana Wow it seems you have been a great experience. I guess that when we are aware of our breath, of our step, of each thing that surround us we can live the present, the now. I can be in that dimension every time I want or need. Even if it is not always easy. But meditations help me. I can say the same for stretching or running. But staying focused as well. Our mind is always trying to tune us on past or future . Tune on your inner voice, The important is you are there. In every breath. In every moment. a big hug. Ale
Friend, I strongly recommend it to
That book really helped me out with overthinking !! I’m just starting it but I truly recommend it!
ciaran perry Ekhart Tolle simplified a lot of Buddhism teaching and makes the wisdom more accessible to people who might not resonate with Buddhism teaching. I’m a Buddhist and I can appreciate his writing.
Thank you! I've been listening to guided meditations because i felt like failure when i couldn't keep my mind quiet for even a minute, but now i realise its just practise and just doing it. Lettjng go of expectations. I think it is faith that brought me here. Thanks a lot. Namaste
I sticked my meditation routine to a cup of morning coffee. Doing this every day for almost a year now, too!
I started meditating with headspeace too 3 months ago. I've always been curious about it and only now finally tried it. I didn't expect it to be the way it is, its very simple in concept but harder to master but its really worth it. I like how you said "why wouldn't i meditate" cause that's how I started feeling not long after beginning. It teaches to see the things you haven't noticed before that have always been around and to be present. I never really knew or understood why its important and why I should even be present when I love being in my head so much thinking about my life, but you never really realize in the process of minding your life your life passes right by right before your eyes. It teaches how to live life in the moment
Many of us know that meditation can be beneficial, but did you know that it is actually one of the most convenient ways to make a drastic improvement to your mental health and physical wellness? Practicing mindful meditation is good for more than just peace of mind. It can actually change your life.
I’ve started this journey several times over the past 4 years ... here I am again! High hopes for forming this positive, life- transforming habit. 🕉
After five years of meditation (four years of vipassana) finally, I know how to deal with my anxiety. it didn't go away, but life I much easier than before. I grew up with an intense desire of killing myself (I felt that the world was too much, too heavy). I didn't know how people were able to live with so much pain. Even when my family was very supportive and lovely, I felt like an alien between them (an angry alien). The path wasn't at all easy, indeed was the most difficult thing in my life, and I don't think that I am a master in meditating, but I know how to deal with strong, negative, heavy emotions. That gave me the possibility of not being so much centered on myself and listen more. I like that. When I listen I disappeared.
Please please message me I’ve grown up with the same mentality
@@sirinatiwari3528 sure, but how?
so grateful this popped up in my recommended... i know this was posted awhile back. thank you this video is very informational. absolutely encouraging. i wanna be a regular meditator thankkk you.💜
I could relate with you in so many ways. I have started meditating few weeks back. Once you are in that zone, we feel so light about ourselves.
Great having this long-term perspective.
Everyone reading this can make a change to live their dream. Habits are the key to achieving our goals (IMO) which is why I created a youtube channel about using them. I believe you can do it!
IMO no. Meditation becomes useful to create a detachment from "dreams" and live a peaceful life without illusions. if you are a content creator, mediation could be used to have more clarity. Be careful with your goals you create them and they manipulate you
@@MauryExplorer_ I don't think a dream has do be an illusion if you turn it into a goal and put in the work to achieve it. I use meditation to be able to concentrate better and I believe it is quite useful. I don't think you should try to detach from your dream, but that's for you to decide. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I have been doing meditation from last 10 years and have achieved great focus and balance

Wooooow. Thanks a bunch, buddy. Your video took so much the pressure off.
I'm practicing meditation since July, on daily basis 1 hour compalsery and 2 hours on weekends.
I'm more focused, calm and patient then before.
I pledged to change myself in 2019 with my habits. I reduced some and add some. Meditation is one of the them and I'm happy with my choice it's a wonderful technique to understand your self better.
I still struggle but it's helping me in my daily routine. Meditation = free medicine of brain + technique of knowing yourself better
I recommend visiting r/streamentry on Reddit. People are reaching Awakening. Search the top posts/AMAs there.
Can u share what habits u have made this year
Hey! @@zalfadaulah4890, I made lots of changes in my daily life, from quiting drinking and smoking to changing my diet, starting exercise, mediation, sleeping time to sleeping position, started reading books and alot more little changes.
Imagine if everyday at school we had 10-15 minutes of meditation. The world would be such a better place.
Where's the science!!
magicspells I haven’t seen any actual experiments but just based off the idea that meditation helps people be present, calm and learn around their minds, if people were taught how to do this from an early age we’d all be more happier, content people. That’s just my opinion though, I respect if you have a different one.
Difficult to cultivate in a culture that praises doing to the exclusion of being.
1ex1uger what do you mean?
Yes omg
