This video has been littered with ads that I cannot disable (Long story). Please find ad free version here: • OCD Meditation | Guide...
I have been going through a little bit of a personal hell recently.
Guilt, shame, fear....about pointless and inconsequential things.
But I know that my mind can be peace. It is only a matter of time.
Thank you very much.
Yeah I thought the same thing about being possessed😢
Thank you SOOOO much. I really needed this... it helped me a lot. For all my fellow OCD sufferers, remember, you are more than your thoughts, and your true mind is the love you give out to yourself and others 😌🙏✨🌟🌈 medication and meditation can be life-savers, by the way, they’ve changed my life so much for the better ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for that x good comfort for me x
Which medications you are taking
😍
Thank you so much I am also recovering with medication+ meditation and ERP and ACT therapy 80% recovered
I found this very useful. I try to listen everyday or whenever my OCD is bad. Repetitive intrusive thoughts are mind and soul crushing. It ruined my life. Now only bothers me a little. I used to get migraines from fighting these thoughts and had poor concentration. I would resort to substance abuse to block out the unwanted thoughts. So sad. Thinking back. So many tumultuous years wasted. Many thanks for making this video man. Much appreciated !
i am also suffering.
I'm suffering too, I get migraines from fighting the intrusive thoughts. The migraines have went down so much and my OCD has been going away. This all happened bc I had dp/dr disorder. Things are easing down tho as time goes by.
If you don’t mind me asking how did you recover?
to anyone who is struggling with intrusive thoughts, just wanted to tell you that . YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. There is something i heard which might be of your use-"IF YOU STOP CHASING THE STICKS THE BRAIN THROWS AT YOU, IT WILL STOP THROWING THE STICKS AT YOU".
Don't you worry dear. professional help is always available. we are all together and there for you. all you need to do is ask for help and u will find tons of ppl willing to help you:) just don't give up. you are beautiful.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this video. But the ad in the middle scared the hell out of me. 😬
Yes
hi there, do you have Snap or WhatsApp?
Same
Yes, very intrusive.
I never thought of looking up meditations for this sort of thing before. This was so great for me and I'm feeling so confident now that I'll learn to meditate.
Get rid of ads come on man !! This is meditation 🧘♀️
I have anxiety and OCD for years, my body is ruined, and I cant control myself, always being mad, anxious, worry and have nervous breakdown, but now I am gonna start this meditation daily, hope this helps
Hope you're doing well friend, did you suck to it?
❤
Been getting constant thoughts of self harm and to the point where it feels like urges, I just started today with this video. Going to try again tonight
Hope you are well. I have had similar thoughts to these, the only difference is that it’s about my mother. I think it’s because my mother is one of the most important people to me, it always targets your loved ones. If you are still fighting these thoughts, make sure you keep telling yourself “just because I have the thought, DOESNT mean i want to do it” stay strong, you will get there.
@@_kcgaudsx how are you doing now?
Only thoughts. Medication will help.
Don’t be ashamed. Once you learn and realize it’s just thoughts your brain makes. Don’t fight it, except the thought and it will go away faster. They say Zoloft works good for racing unwanted thoughts.
I believe in you. You can do it.
@@_kcgaudsxthat is so true.
I have a brain injury and my OCD can be pretty bad. I have been watching different TH-cam videos, meditation videos. I think that this video is the best video I have tried so far!
This is the best short relaxation/meditation I've found for OCD. There are times (ie at work/etc.) where you just don't have the time or ability to listen to a long meditation or easily be able to refocus to something that can keep you grounded in reality/get you back on track. This is quick enough that you can go to the rest room/etc. or be at your desk and use this tool to help remind you that thoughts are just thoughts, and that its just ocd that is trying to make you distressed/etc.
This should work very well for people with generalized anxiety as well :)
My first time listening to this. I really like it. I stepped on sth dirty after exiting the shower and I managed to ignore it. To hear that that is not my thought is simply liberating. I am thankful I found this. I hope everyone here gets healed. You are all beautiful people, loved by the world and most importantly, by yourself. Hugs to all!
OCD/ Pure O specifically is a type of tourettes. Literally its mental tourette syndrome, it goes un noticed and only the sufferer can figure themselves out. Think about it. Unwanted thoughts that keep poking at you , and pop out of nowhere making you anxious and stuck = non physical tourettes.
I have "Pure-o" Hell on earth.
NOBODY Unfortunately, 99.9% of what's out there is about the conventional type.
meat Ismurder I've tried many; none have been helpful.
Others have had success with meds, though.
I've been doing some Kundalini yoga that seems to help. If you google " Kundalini OCD," you should see it. Good luck😁
meat Ismurder what meds are helping you?
I agree, I always tell my mom that. I feel like it’s a form of Tourette’s. Although you’re aware that you’re doing the compulsions, because you’re trying to get rid of the obsession. (No ocd isn’t Tourette’s I’m just agreeing with the person lol)
Sometimes I suffer from OCD when I'm doing an important task. Right now I'm having OCD applying for my upcoming exam. No matter how much I convince myself that I have filled in the proper details, my mind is just not stopping getting thoughts like "may be you gave wrong details in that column or in this column'.. Ohh the torture!!!
Make sure your vitamin b12 and d levels are normal. Deficiencies are common and deficiencies impact the neurotransmitters that regulate mood and OCD thoughts.
This was a lovely meditation. I struggle with longer meditations as I get distracted easily but this really worked well for me and made me realise a lot. Thank you.
This video has been my saving grace... i have repeated it hundreds of times.... whoever wrote this, thank you.
D M My pleasure. So glad this is helping. I know there is an issue with ads on this video interrupting the meditation, so will be uploading it again soon to see if I can stop this. It’s also available on Spotify and other streaming services ad free if this doesn’t work.
I listen to this nearly everyday in the morning and find it really helps, thank you for this video.
Best meditation 🧘♀️ for ocd and anxiety I came across
The best meditation on this topic on here.The ideas and comments he's making are so substantial and true.
I've suffered from OCD since I was younger and the bad phases come and go. In October I was sitting in class and I automatically had to erase a period mark over 4 times and I thought to myself, it will get better tomorrow. I kept saying that EVERYDAY since October, and it's now February. I have to think about a thought that I want to come true 4 times OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, and if I dont, "something bad will happen." Or "What I want will not happen." Everyday since that October I find everyday tasks a HUGE challenge because I have to Repeat and Repeat my actions. It's so annoying. Then I get thoughts that make me feel bad, but I would Never do something evil like that. I already know what I have but I find talking about it helps if people can relate. I wish someone could relate tho.🤦🏻♂️
Antonio Rojas I relate to every single one of that.
I hope you’re doing better now. Intrusive thoughts and ruminating have made me miserable. I feel like a literal prisoner in my own mind and that as long as I’m having the thoughts it will become reality. I’m trying to detach myself entirely from the thoughts but it’s difficult. We will overcome!!
Yeah dude- I do the numbers thing too. I can truly relate. I try to live with the notion that this is just bullshit sequences that have no reality. The emotion overrides it sometimes, but sometimes I'm rational. But I certainly feel you bro- you'll be fine.🙂
Truly the best meditation video I have ever used.
I’ve been suffering violent intrusive thoughts daily for nearly 30 years , thinking I was psychotic, only realising around 6 months ago, unwanted / intrusive thoughts is an actual mental condition, enabling me to feel comfortable to seek help, but of course due to the uk national health being what it is , there is very little support I have been able to get , I get slight relief from videos like this , I thank you for that ! 👍
Thank you so much! Such a relaxing voice. And thanks for the disclaimer. Professional help is important.
For everyone suffering with ocd, i suggest you try CBT, extremely helpful and can allow you to let your thoughts come and not be disturbed by them, instead of desperately looking for a way out. CBT and meditation have been way more helpful than any meds you can take, and I highly suggest using it since it can make OCD go away permanently, well not really, but to the extent where the thoughts dont bother you anymore.
blank bleak can I have more info on this? I think I may have it and was interested in any possible therapies or cures.
Can you reduce the amount of thoughts that come in with therapy?
i can easily say cbt & dbt therapy saved my life. i was very stubborn and afraid of it at first, since a lot of my thoughts were trauma based, my headspace was, “why should i have to do all this namaste bullshit to heal the pain others put upon me?”. however, once i went into an inpatient i really didn’t have a choice anymore and i am so glad i tried it. i was super oppositional to any sort of meditation because honestly, i was just an asshole. but the whole point is that with cbt you don’t have to put on a happy face. you don’t have to pretend things are fine. you find peace in acknowledging that they are not, but that it is okay, and the idea of things being “fine” is subjective and relative to individual experience. highly recommend.
Lovely, really good! Trank you!
If you dont want to be bothered by the ads. Just drag and fast forward the video till the end and play it again.
Thank you! This has helped me cope.
I have anxiety but I also have Autism and part of people’s with autism’s puberty is having thoughts like this and I have Adhd which doesn’t help
All of these make sense. Thank you!
Edelle Marie You are very welcome 🙂
Thanks for the video much appreciated
Thank you
Loved this meditation!
This is my favorite mediation video
My ocd has to do with guilt of things ive done. I cant just pretend thats a dilusion of the mind
Jake Bulette If it is of any comfort, I too have the same things as you do, have been struggling with this for a lot of my life, and still have no idea how to exit this cycle of anxiety and guilt. Hope you find your peace.
Please try the Sedona method to let go. Also read The mindful path to self compassion. It’s time to heal and move on with your life! It’s helped me tremendously
What happen if the action of this order is very critical like self hurting in extreme level very extreme?
Loved it
Thankyou for this
thanks for the meditation.
Thanks!
Thank You
I found the music actually heightens anxiety 😔
IT'S GOOD TO BE TOTALLY NUTS, THE DAY FLIES BY.
Y’all really complaining about ads? Smh
The ad was an unwelcome shock.
I am always tensed in ftont of boys. It seems like i am mad sometimes. Can i stay positive and achieve greats in life. I keeps myself engaged by involving in lots of activities like meditation, exercise, watches movies, short films, stand up. Comedies, participates in quizzes, participates in speeches, listens to music, goes for walking, damces attends public gathetings, prepares psc exams and attends interviews etc
has anyone taken meds and now worried ? I had to take anti anxiety for a few weeks and now am extremely worried about brain damage which isn’t obviously true but my brain is so ocd, please comment and help me out
I love this meditation, but the advertisement ruins it, however it is really useful.
This has been an ongoing issue. (Confusing copyright automation) I'm really sorry. I've tried re-uploading here. th-cam.com/video/phm_VPjijh8/w-d-xo.html Hopefully this is better
Why are there ads in a meditation video???
Hi Jen. If you select ‘skip ads’ before the video starts this should stop them playing during the meditation. Unfortunately I cannot fully remove them due to sync licensing issues (even though they are my own works) . If it helps, this meditation is available on Spotify and all other streaming platforms where ads won’t be an issue.
Why would you put ads..
Very simple and to the point. Well done. Thank you
very well said, I can listen in morning before work, my mind feels ready for the day.
mallik777 You are welcome. Very glad you're enjoying it. We are planning to release another, more comprehensive collection before the end of the year.
I see this guided meditation is available on Spotify. However, there is no music in the background on it. Any chance you will be able to add it?
Rebourne28 Hi there. There should be two versions on the album. One with backing music and one like this one 🙂
@@EasyPeaceMeditation Thank you, I checked and only see the thought defusion meditation. I went through each track and didn't find the one with backing music. I absolutely like both versions.
I can’t believe you have a freaking AD on this mediation program😡
I'm not over the moon having adverts for Headspace at the beginning of my much less commercially successful meditation videos. But unfortunately, I don't have a choice in the matter. You can however find this on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music or wherever you stream music, without ads. Many thanks.
One ad ?¿
more like blinking three ffs !!!
i’ve listened to this in the past and it has been fine but as of today’s listening....ad after ad after ad👎
The whole meditation is only 10 minutes 30 seconds long ....
what the hell is TH-cam playing it???

EasyPeace Meditation
thank you for taking the time to fill me in🙏🙏
be safe🌎
This dude makes you FREE. CONTENT. FREE. This has obviously helped a LOT OF PEOPLE. Let him make his damn money.
I feel so much better. I am awareness I am real I am present my thoughts are not real
does this help in curing ocd? Plz reply someone
payal shah
Cure? No . But it helps you
Hi Payal. I’m afraid there’s no cure as such for OCD. But meditations such as this help many people learn to deal with intrusive thoughts. As with all things - some people find meditation more useful than others. But have a go and see what you think - I hope it helps.
EasyPeace Meditation there is a possible way to reduce the intrusive thoughts until they occur only once in a while and you should be able to shoo them away. payal shah, therapy may help provide you methods for that do that or meditation may help ease you. you can try both if you wish, give them a go. i hope one or the other helps you in some way.
Thankyou bro really helped calm me down and get closer to God and my beautiful spirit
You have an advert problem. I did as you suggested to another viewer and pressed skip ads, guess what... After my meditation vacation was pissed on by the Longhorn Steakhouse commercial I have a craving for a porterhouse binge. Its shameful that these ads are suffocating the good from your efforts.
I just found this same meditation on spotify called Thought Diffusion Meditation. No ads and it was great.
This was really starting to help and relax me ,then bam advert half the way through! Adverts should be banned from meditations😒👎
Charley Hi Charley. Glad to hear you were enjoying this before the ad kicked in. If you select ‘skip ads’ before the video starts this should stop them playing during the meditation. Unfortunately I cannot fully remove them due to sync licensing issues (even though they are my own works) . If it helps, this meditation is available on all streaming platforms where ads won’t be an issue.
@@EasyPeaceMeditation thank you for your reply ☺️ I still love your meditations despite the ads and will continue to use this everyday ☺️💖
EasyPeace Meditation which platforms? Couldn’t find on apple music or SoundCloud
I can’t imagine a worse place to stick some dumb, noisy ad than right in the middle of a guided meditation! Yes, I’m totally going to buy whatever shit they’re selling after I peel myself off the ceiling!
Please see video description above. Many thanks.
EasyPeace Meditation Thanks very much!
Nice intro! way to make anxious people feel like they need medical attention before they try to relax.
I don't mean to argue, and while I'd like it without the intro as well due to it being kind of a distraction, it's a disclaimer. And besides, sometimes we do indeed need professional help.
And what's wrong with that? Therapy helps and is a thing that should definitely be considered when you're suffering from a mental condition...
For me I get intrusive thoughts about things I'm deeply fearfull about. Funny thing is I came to accept one of my fears and it wasn't so bad after that. Guess what my brain did next ? Took something else I was scared of happening and started obsessing about that .. sigh.
i feel soo scared that I can relate to this... have u tried consulting a psychologist ?
No really I haven't yet. I keep telling myself if it gets really bad I will. I can still do my job etc so I guess I'm kind of ok. Maybe I could be alot better if I did see a therapist. Recently I've been just trying to accept my self completely and practice self kindness. Even with all this issue I tell my self I'm ok. Also I recently went on a holiday and forgot all about my job/life. Since coming back I've been abit better. So I realise that getting stuck in a routine also doesn't help. So I'm going to make an effort to spend a weekened every so often away from the city in nature just to give my brain something different to experience. This is just how my brain is I guess. Everyone has some problems to work with in life, this seems to be mine
i like ur positive outlook.... my god bless u
hi you two, i suggest you do see a therapist or psychologist (you may try out a few to see who works best for you). When I found one that more or less worked for me, it helped me quite a bit. my ocd hasn't completely gone but she provided me with 'tools' which i try to use. also if you see a psychologist or a support group, there will be some kind of support system for you which you might appreciate. i still struggle a lot so i understand your struggle and i hope that it would get better all of us. i'm sending you courage.
thanks soo much ur soo sweet! if u need help we can help each other out since we both suffer from the same thing.
I love your voice, no homo
If you don’t want ads; skip to end then restart the video.
I refuse to do a meditation with an advertisement in it as you get relaxed. You got to be kidding.
Elliott B Hi Elliott. Try as we might, we are unable to remove the ads. Even though we own the track (weird copyright problems) You should however be able to avoid the ads by clicking ‘Skip Ads’ before the video starts. If this does not work, the meditation is also available on all streaming services. Sorry the ads have spoiled your enjoyment, rest assured we’ll continue to try and get these removed, as many others have had the same issue. Daniel - Easy Peace
Please. I literally feel like I’m not human, like I’m just whatever the hell pops up into my brain. It’s so unfair. I’m nice to everyone, I try to do good to everyone because I want to be treated good, and still these fucking thoughts somehow have a say in how I feel and it’s affecting literally every single part of my life. I just want to be a normal 18yo fucking man
So sorry to hear you’re going through this. I would really truly recommend reaching out to your GP or local mental health services if you haven’t already. For me they suggested Exposure Response Prevention therapy and it has changed my life for the better. I honestly forget I have Pure OCD most of the time. The thoughts barely register. More is known about this condition now and they will be able to help you. Just know that it can get better, it won’t always be like this.
I’d also really recommend Mark Freeman’s videos. Recovered OCD’er with amazing practical tips to dealing with intrusive thoughts.
I truly wish you all the best in your recovery and get the support you need. You are not your thoughts. Stay strong ❤️
This started as very helpful, I could feel myself relaxing into it, but at about 2 minutes an AD started and burst the bubble, didn’t get back to the relaxed state :(
Kelly Sikora Hi Kelly. Sorry these are spoiling the meditation at the moment. I’m trying to get these removed. TH-cam have added recently without my permission and it’s proving difficult getting them to stop. If it helps at all this meditation is available on Spotify and all other streaming services. Without ads (I hope!) Many thanks. Easy Peace
Your add is on a 10 min meditation! I've done mediations that are 20 mins plus and don't have an ad. This is ridiculous.

You should know that there are people with anxiety disorders who freak out at the sound of a soft voice.
That's why I can't listen to most guided meditations. Makes me want to jump out of my skin.
Adam Honesty and decency This meditation is relaxing and you're right, it is a bit soft but there are some people who might like that. i can't wear earphones because it makes me uncomfortable and most times triggers various OCD thoughts or obsessions so i do miss out on some of the words he says if the room is not quiet enough. but so far, i do like this meditation so i will be keeping it. there are lots of anxiety videos and meditations out there, there are some by BuzzFeed. keep looking, hope you find the right one for you!
Adam Honesty and decency PS. I haven't finished listening to it yet cause i got distracted when my house got noisy earlier but i will listen to it finished when when i can.
haha dude i feel you. I was listening to one the other day and he waa whispering about paying attention to my breathing and I about had panic attack 😂 i know what you mean and i usually try again later if one is bugging me out
Why is there ad right in the middle :(
5 min and and two ads already interrupting. WTF. Literally ruins it.

Nothing ruins a meditation better than a loud advertisement as you are settling in. 🙄
Bonnie Pedder Can’t get rid of them I’m afraid. Though clicking ‘skip ads’ before the meditation starts should solve the problem. Alternatively this meditation is available on all streaming platforms, ad free (hopefully)!
EasyPeace Meditation- Thanks for the tip! No advertisement skip option on my phone. Can you name some of the streaming services?
Bonnie Pedder Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal. There are more but I forget the names. Really a shame I can’t get rid of ads on here. An annoying copyright issue (even though we own the recording) TH-cam is strange.
EasyPeace Meditation Completely understand. TH-cam really has gotten ad-heavy these days. Apologies for stress!
An advertisement in middle of meditation?!?!? Would have been a decent recording other than that. Never heard of such a thing.
Seriously a commercial at 5mins in. I was getting so relaxed but that damn ad startled me. 👎🏽

failed to hold my attention well. background noise made understanding difficult.
Multiple add during the meditation...
Why...!? Kills the whole process...
And I was really into it.
Ugh.
Solution in video description above. Many thanks 🙏
How the fuck do you slap an ad in a meditation vid

It did not help at all 😒
