Something that can be helpful when meditating is just listening to all that is around you, really listen. The longer you listen the less loud your thoughts are. Another good technique can be to only acknowledge the thoughts you are having. A good way to do this is to say what the thought is but without giving context. Do not judge the thought as good or bad. All thoughts come, stay and then leave. There are two parts to humans. Subconscious and conscious. Your thoughts are not your ego (Consciousness), they are simply only thoughts that you can choose to believe or not. Be only aware of your thoughts. This will increase your awareness as well as help you understand yourself and not judge yourself based off your thoughts. Both can be used everyday, all day. It will take time. It will take patience, but you will get good at it and in due time it will all come as second nature to you. You can do both day to day and also practice during the times you choose to meditate. Any questions or if anything is unclear please reply to this comment. You deserve peace of mind and you'll find what works for you!! I hope this helps!!
I have a question about something nobody seems to talk about. Can you have a spiritual awakening from a good point in life? Becouse all i hear are stories of people awakening from a place of misery or dispair.
You've just described exactly how I am. You described the pattern of Insomnia and then the depression, I'm hoping, I'm coming out of, at least trying very hard to learn more about quietening my busy, over active mind. I never expected to be going through this in my 70's and felt very disappointed in myself and blamed myself for getting myself into this state, when I've always been able to control my life, though now feeling exhausted and unable to cope with basic things. So thank you for discussing it. Please God I'll get to grips with calming/relaxing & getting the rest of my life back.
HOW TO CHOOSE RIGHT TECHNIQUE OF MEDITATION The largest part of human body is skin. Skin of one entity can not be transplanted to the other but the own skin can be transplanted to the own body. This shows that the largest part of body of every individual is different i.e. every entity is unique. Therefore, it's functions like thinking, nature, action etc. will be altogether different to the other entity. Now the question is, when every person is unique then how the same meditation technique will work for all persons or human at large. There are 112 meditation techniques are mentioned in VIGYAN BHAIRAV TANTRA. To my experience of about 13-14 years in this line, I come to the conclusion that all the things, activity etc. known in the universe have both aspects, negative as well as positive one. Similarly, Meditation also have its side effects too. It is, therefore, very essential to choose the right technique of the same by the individual before going to start and not be the part of rat race. There are two categories of persons according to individual's nature, thinking etc., Introvert as well as Extrovert. As per my experience, Introverts should not go for Silent meditation techniques like long term silent sadhna rather go for the mantra jaapa meditation techniques otherwise the very purpose of finding inner peace will be defeated and the Introverts may go under depression/anxiety. Similarly, Extroverts should go for the silent sadhna meditation techniques for achieving the goal of inner peace & happiness. As we start anything to do, we think, search and then act. Meditation is the eventual task of life, why should we not take the same process of thinking, searching etc before starting? This is a thought of my life experiences, rest is up to you. Amar Karira
Am an ambivert and have balanced masculine-feminine energies. No one will have the information I need. I'm a researcher though by nature and use that and the other aspects of my nature to practice to find the answers for I.
It literally saved my life as well. Your story sounds very similar to what I had went through. Still am going through to some extent but not like I was
Amazing 6 years of my therapy and life problem resolutions all summed up in a 15 min video I would have never thought to be true until going through and experience all of these things for myself I didn’t even know I was meditating anyone reading I want you to know that this is all true I would follow all of these steps and types of meditation he’s right and you can truly reach a higher power by doing this
I love what you talk about...just one thing....actually there is such a thing as a broken heart...people die from it. It is a physical manifestation of sorrow.
For the past 20 years, I have tried different style meditation including the 4 methods mentioned here. The best and most effective method is concentration on a point and watch for breath for me.
Meditation should not cost money. It should be donation-based just like Vipassana. I feel like people who are advertising about Transcendental meditation are into making money. So stop advertising it. All meditation is great. Personally, I love and practice concentration form meditation and it has changed my life. It bothers me when people are trying to make money out of free stuff that anyone can access it.
thank god i wasn't the only one. I mean I tried so hard to refrain myself from looking at the comments until AFTER the video but I only made it half way =[
I suffer from chronic fatigue and when I shave close my eyes, it's almost like my brain disconnects and tests. When I finish and open them I feel great. Is this some sort of meditation I can replicate another way????
I just wanna say that people who are annoyed by the music need to meditate 😂😂😂 one month ago I would have probably been annoyed by the music too, meditation works!!
Why most of us concentrate on material things. Material world is nothing but an illusion The supreme truth is sri krishna beyond time and space and in srimad bhagwatam it is stated that "in kaliyuga the meditators who concentrate on lotus feets of supreme truth sri krishna the air he breath and the land on he walk simply became purified by his walking and breathing " And always chant maha mantra. In srimad bhagwat geeta it is also stated the one who attaches his mind to anything will become one after the death in his next life, so better is to attach our mind and soul to the supreme lord maybe one would take 3 Or 4 lifetime but in the end will attain the supreme who is Lord krishna himself..so always meditate on the lotus feets of sri krishna. No matter what is the technique of meditation. And please speak- Hare krishna Hare krishna krishna Krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.
I enjoy reflection meditation: "When you wish to reflect upon or consider a matter, you consult something within you. You say, shall I do it, or shall I not do it? Is it better to make this journey or abandon it? Whom do you consult? Who is within you deciding this question? Surely there is a distinct power, an intelligent ego. Were it not distinct from your ego, you would not be consulting it. It is greater than the faculty of thought. It is your spirit which teaches you, which advises and decides upon matters." - Baha'i Faith

It's interesting that he describes the benefits of transcendental meditation by describing benefits for body. Focus on the rewards for the body, you will stay with the body.
Am I the only one who notices that his face goes from tanned to bright white as the music changes? I'm watching this on the TV, so I don't know if it's just because it's on the big screen. Also - when you focus on him, the borders fade on the peripheral of the screen I'm not doing any fancy breathing, just sitting here with my coffee in the recliner.... Trippy! :O
Thanks so much for this video! Q: if I meditate focusing on my breaths while listening to an audio loop of nature sounds like rain etc. Does it count as concentration meditation or trancendal meditation? BTW Insight Timer is a great app for meditation 🙂
Thanks... A Solution-Seeking Type Meditation can be speaking & asking your own spirit... "Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee. Get thou from it thy radiance and seek none other than Me. For I have created thee rich and have bountifully shed My favor upon thee." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Faith
Does the air of superiority and aggressively imposing fake calmness come with meditation, or is it a typical condition of people who try meditation and then go on teaching others about it?
That's a good observation you made about him. Unfortunately there are a lot of fakes in meditation and spirituality. And there are also genuinely good meditation teachers and spiritual teachers.
@@brianlittrell797 thanks for reminding me, I rewatched this video a year later now, and there's no disgust like there was back then. He's just a salesman, managing his thinking and doing a calm voice and pushing vulnerable people over and over throughout the video to choose his services. But he's still a person like everyone else :)
@@brianlittrell797 I don't know what exactly, but my disposition towards things happens to change a lot lately. Something to do with stumbling on reconnecting with my feelings and finding some process to stay with them or something. It's a long story and hard to convey accurately :)
@@brianlittrell797 ah, one thing I can recommend is to listen to everything from Alan Watts on TH-cam instead of this guy :) but I dunno, that's probably a personal preference, and I don't really _rely_ on him. Just makes sense and he often says things I couldn't formulate myself.
I'm new to meditation.. But it seems like my mind wonders towards a creative place.. I can often see levers, gear ratios, belts, machines.. it made me think about Tesla.. who was rumoured to sit four or more hours thinking.. I think meditating.. then he would start drawing
Tesla would often sit in a meditative state and visualize his machines, take them apart put them back together, upgrade and improve until he was satisfied with it's perfection then he would get to work. He was really spectacular
God realization does not begin in a cave high atop the Himalayas. It begins in the pots and pans of the kitchen. Treat all of your tasks, however small, as opportunities to see God and serve Him.
Thoughts on past life regressions? I’ve only gotten into meditation not to long ago about 1-3 months now. Started to find Jesus can definitely feel my mind way of thinking changing especially when it comes to temptation. But I heard past life regression can show u things that might help you. But I’ve tried I get into deep meditation the lady speaks and I’ll I see is black like the void. Only thing I’ve ever saw was water washing up on a beach like the waves coming in and out. Not really the main point of the video but if anybody in the comment have advise or insight would def love to hear
Many will disagree with what I am about to say, but I hope some people keep an open mind. I have found two poles to meditation, the first is meditation on the material aspects of life. Sorting out our fears and beliefs that do not serve our lives. In this state the mind and heart have a talk and try to reconcile reality. The second type is surrendering ego and leaving the rational mind and connection to body to exist simply as consciousness and explore what ones spirit wishes the individual to experience. I have found that cannabis and other plant medicines can greatly enhance meditation if taken and used with the desire to deep dive into ones own inner workings. Now most as I said will argue that this is a distraction and has no real benefits, just people trying to take an easy path that is inferior to thier ideas of Eastern teachings. But ask the question then... Exactly what grounds do they base this on if they have not tried it both ways, can they speak from actually experience? Either way it should be an individual choice and not demonized by opinions. But if you find you achieve your full potential in the Eastern traditions that is a beautiful thing. But the traditions of Central and South America have some beauty and mystery that are certainly worth exploring also.
Hi Tom, I ve got no idea if you ll ever read this, but I see in you someone who might be able to help me in my long struggle with benefiting from meditation and I ve been looking all over the planet for that, so here's my question : I was taught concentration techniques during my studies, and I used them extensively to be more efficient, happier, access stillness faster,... Sadly it became a natural thing I was doing all the time, and when, during my first job, things went wrong and I started to be burned out, it's like my mind kept over concentrating as a reflex on whatever would come to my consciousness, which was, at the time, mostly stress and negative emotions. And during that process, I kind of got stuck on 'hyperattention' mode. So my current problem is, when I try to meditate, my mind overconcentrates on whatever I try to do, think or feel, and that automatically produces a lot of stress, pain, and negative emotions quite quickly. The solution is in the meditation and I can't meditate! Some guided meditation techniques help cause I don't have to do much appart from listening. But I can't feel and do everything I am told to or the overfocusing takes over so the benefits I get are quite limited. Mindfulness is really difficult cause my mind jumps on anything I observe (which is mostly pain) and produces stress. I have never tried transcendental meditation. Would you recommend that? Is there an online ressource that teaches it and offers qualified support you might recommend? The ressource would have to be online because I have also been developing severe spine pain because of that stress and some accidents I had had before. Currently, I spend 90%of my time lying down so I probably can't attend traditional meditation trainings. This has been a growing issue for 8 years now, and you probably can't imagine how helpful it would be if you could help me start over meditating. Best, G

There are 4 major types of meditation. 1. Impossible to apply. 2. Not a fully meditation 3. Not a fully meditation. 4. A perfect meditation. The type you choose depends on your goal. Maybe if I'll do enough meditation I'll cross the logic bar and I'll understand for what purpose he thinks that the first 3 are better...
Can anybody who knows from experience recommend a suitable meditation to heal past emotional and spiritual wounds and weaknesses and to become emotionally strong and totally eliminate fear and sorrow from life since I am weak emotionally and mentally ...thanks in advance :)))
I have never been depressed or suffered with anxiety. I meditated every day for 2 years and even went to a retreat to study but I never, never, found any change or positive or negative result from meditation. Over the last 6 years I have studied attention, vippissana and transcendental meditation. My mind doesn't wander. I am still the same old me. I never found what meditation is all about.
I'm sorry to hear that when I meditate I just focus on breathing slighlty effortlessly and don't think about anything else. Instead of thinking about 20 different thought s you just focus on breathing in and out very slighlty. I felt a deep sense of peace and happiness and recharged really just like having a nap you just try to slow your brain and thoughts down.
Try editing your video in a more concise fashion, one video with you talking the whole time can be a drag (try entering a slide before you speak of a certain topic, so your viewers can know which practice youre discussing, and the viewer can fast forward to their practice of interest). The information, nevertheless, was on point, thank you.
tom, i have a question that i have still not found an answer to.....can you help me with it? can more than one type of meditation be done by a person. I'm from india and i have been taught the concentration techniques and it works good for me, but simultaneously i am also fascinated by other types of meditation. can one type of meditation interfere with another type?.........sincerely waiting for your reply
Look at him. Look closely. He is a true ex-douchebag. He left every shit behind himself and turn to meditation. It's clear he was broke at some point in his life, then he changed. Look at his hair, it says everything: "I don't care what you think of me, just listen what I try to teach you". It's a man who dropped most of his ego to the bin. That's what I see.
Funny you would recommend the most expensive meditation as the most effective. A meditation that "costs" thousands of dollars is only "healing" to the pockets of the TM people, and I guess yourself. Shameful.
Antonina Ramsey let it be boring....that means this video is not for you. But dont be rude if you understand the similarities you understand a big part of what he is saying all ready...
So he mentioned their was one style of meditation he really benefited from but did he say exactly which one that was that really helped him?? He says it but not the exact style??🙏🏻
Take a walk while listening to water sounds. While walking look for insects to capture with numerous small bottles which you bring along. The act of looking for insects will focus the mind.

Either way it should be an individual choice and not demonized by opinions. But if you find you achieve your full potential in the Eastern traditions that is a beautiful thing. But the traditions of Central and South America have some beauty and mystery that are certainly worth exploring also.
So sad that almost every comment is strewn with hate. Just goes to show how sick humanity is.
Hi Tom,
I ve got no idea if you ll ever read this, but I see in you someone who might be able to help me in my long struggle with benefiting from meditation and I ve been looking all over the planet for that, so here's my question :
I was taught concentration techniques during my studies, and I used them extensively to be more efficient, happier, access stillness faster,...
Sadly it became a natural thing I was doing all the time, and when, during my first job, things went wrong and I started to be burned out, it's like my mind kept over concentrating as a reflex on whatever would come to my consciousness, which was, at the time, mostly stress and negative emotions. And during that process, I kind of got stuck on 'hyperattention' mode.
So my current problem is, when I try to meditate, my mind overconcentrates on whatever I try to do, think or feel, and that automatically produces a lot of stress, pain, and negative emotions quite quickly. The solution is in the meditation and I can't meditate!
Some guided meditation techniques help cause I don't have to do much appart from listening. But I can't feel and do everything I am told to or the overfocusing takes over so the benefits I get are quite limited.
Mindfulness is really difficult cause my mind jumps on anything I observe (which is mostly pain) and produces stress.
I have never tried transcendental meditation. Would you recommend that? Is there an online ressource that teaches it and offers qualified support you might recommend?
The ressource would have to be online because I have also been developing severe spine pain because of that stress and some accidents I had had before. Currently, I spend 90%of my time lying down so I probably can't attend traditional meditation trainings.
This has been a growing issue for 8 years now, and you probably can't imagine how helpful it would be if you could help me start over meditating.
Best,
G

There are 4 major types of meditation.
1. Impossible to apply.
2. Not a fully meditation
3. Not a fully meditation.
4. A perfect meditation.
The type you choose depends on your goal.
Maybe if I'll do enough meditation I'll cross the logic bar and I'll understand for what purpose he thinks that the first 3 are better...
There are also these nice reads ... Practical meditation and The way and goal of Rajyoga from 'omshantistore'.
Can anybody who knows from experience recommend a suitable meditation to heal past emotional and spiritual wounds and weaknesses and to become emotionally strong and totally eliminate fear and sorrow from life since I am weak emotionally and mentally ...thanks in advance :)))
Look at the video’s of Nick Roach here on youtube. They are very helpfull for issues as you have.
I have to change and have a new mind. What type of meditation would help with that?
Why are all meditation instructors so odd? Can anyone recommend one that is just down to earth and ordinary?
Finding Sam Harris’s Waking Up app very good
Thanks for the update! I’m glad you found something in the end that works for you.
Me 🤗
I loved the background music
I hate it
The biggest ingredient in the success of any CEO is the wealth created by the labour of the working class
I have never been depressed or suffered with anxiety. I meditated every day for 2 years and even went to a retreat to study but I never, never, found any change or positive or negative result from meditation. Over the last 6 years I have studied attention, vippissana and transcendental meditation. My mind doesn't wander. I am still the same old me. I never found what meditation is all about.
nicholascremato your still alive :\
nicholascremato you have to change your mindset the only way you will change
nicholascremato you are a living Death!
I'm sorry to hear that when I meditate I just focus on breathing slighlty effortlessly and don't think about anything else. Instead of thinking about 20 different thought s you just focus on breathing in and out very slighlty.
I felt a deep sense of peace and happiness and recharged really just like having a nap you just try to slow your brain and thoughts down.
nicholascremato first times I started meditating I felt so much joy after .. now I can’t even focus 😢
Try editing your video in a more concise fashion, one video with you talking the whole time can be a drag (try entering a slide before you speak of a certain topic, so your viewers can know which practice youre discussing, and the viewer can fast forward to their practice of interest). The information, nevertheless, was on point, thank you.
Everyone is talking about how the background music is annoying. I can’t get past the lack of white balance..
Larry Morgan now that you said it, it’s fucking terrible. The worst I have ever seen.
Larry Morgan haha y’all need to meditate some more . I did laugh though 😂🤘
What kind of meditation is praying?

I'm from india and i have been taught the concentration techniques and it works good for me, but simultaneously i am also fascinated by other types of meditation. can one type of meditation interfere with another type?.........sincerely waiting for your reply
Which category would zazen fit into?
Vipassana meditation oldest and most purest form , turning normal person into god , the Buddha

More like another sales pitch for tm than an explanation
He's all about the money!
This guy blinks so much. I'm starting to think I stare. e.e
It’s tough to be human
Holy fuck get to it already!
I can't hear you ;(

Look at him. Look closely. He is a true ex-douchebag. He left every shit behind himself and turn to meditation. It's clear he was broke at some point in his life, then he changed. Look at his hair, it says everything: "I don't care what you think of me, just listen what I try to teach you". It's a man who dropped most of his ego to the bin. That's what I see.
He is misleading. He not.mentioning the dark side of meditation. TH-cam it.

I can barely hear the music with that guy constantly talking over it.
y u try too hard wit da music ?
What is the horrible background sound? Sounds like an insane organ emitting random noise.
Way way too much about you. Get to the instruction.
I would have liked to go straight to the facts instead of all the commentary
Although I realize this might be more of a Blog then an informational video
I've been having trouble going to bed early
Can't find even 1 answer of you,mr Cronin....
This guy is just another salesman. He's more interested in your money than in teaching and helping people.
Worst episode on meditation
Funny you would recommend the most expensive meditation as the most effective. A meditation that "costs" thousands of dollars is only "healing" to the pockets of the TM people, and I guess yourself. Shameful.
boring. the same story over and over again.
Antonina Ramsey let it be boring....that means this video is not for you. But dont be rude if you understand the similarities you understand a big part of what he is saying all ready...
So he mentioned their was one style of meditation he really benefited from but did he say exactly which one that was that really helped him?? He says it but not the exact style??🙏🏻
Grocery store must restock their bleach when you walk in.
Take a walk while listening to water sounds. While walking look for insects to capture with numerous small bottles which you bring along. The act of looking for insects will focus the mind.
Why would you remove insects from their natural habitat? Look for the insects and observe them.
Thank you
thank you
thank you
