Hi Nick, it's been so. long. 1 & half year ago, I was going thru a divorce but that time I chatted with casually on TH-cam comments and also based on your teaching I flew to Thailand (at Koh Samui) and took meditation class. I really felt good and survived the bad time of my life. Few months back I met a wonderful person and just last month I got married. Right now she is in Mumbai and I am in Seattle. We are both on the hotbed of Coronavirus crisis. We both are holding each other over face time. & skyppe. Both during the crisis time, we now spend more time together and it has bought us a strong bonding. I am very nervous, anxious and worried, especially knowing that we both are so apart. Her visa processing has started but hoping to get it in next 8 months. Let's see. Thank you. so much for your support and meditation guidance. With lots of ❤️& respect. Bobby
@@dbiswas hi Bobby! Your message makes me so happy. I remember how difficult that period was for you. I'm glad you were able to find some healing and had the opportunity to come to thailand. You should have stopped by our temple to say hello. Haha. Next time. And congratulations on the marriage. Regarding your situation, just try to stay calm. The Corona situation is already bad enough on its own, so don't add ther extra stress, anxiety, etc.. just take the precautionary steps, and do your best. Make sure you make time to day to "shower the mind." Also make resolutions/wishes each day. It will help you 😊😊❤
Had the privilege to join the 3 day retreat in Pa Pae. What a experience. The monks give great lessons, share their personal stories and struggles in meditation which i thought was amazing. Anyway, i felt absolute amazing these 3 days, so i am so happy i found your channel and go back to the peaceful days during this strange times. Thank you! 🙏
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Yes very happy with this! Around 12th of march. From the Netherlands. We didn't speak personally btw, found your channel on facebook via an other participant
i am sick and it is winter here. i visualise to this video all my past memories travels in Guatemala, vietnam, india. all of the forests and waterfalls, i smell the earth. im moving slowly through the forests but strong. I do visualisations everday and my health is recovering. love and health to all ❤
I love this. What a beautiful gift. I will treasure and use.often. Thank you. Bless you. May you be filled with peace, love and harmony and know how many lives you touch. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Meditation is good for those that are not in constant turmoil.....I practise walking meditation to help my body understand where the pain is and to let it go. The serenity gained of self awareness of ones continual suffering of the three afflictions (physical pain) (mental anguish) (spiritual loss). Since my life is suffering and my attachments are many, walking meditation allows me to see the path, hear the path and accept the path....You are my teacher and my student as I am your student and your teacher,,,,Freely to share the life experience from two different paths....Sadhu sadhu Buddhist Brother Nick
Thank you Nick for this wonderful video. I felt so peaceful by the end, I didn't want to come back. I got to a point towards where I was feeling an energy of some sort in front of me (like a force I could breathe into which made me relax even more). I've never experienced that before, but I'm glad I did. I was doing a loving kindness meditation, which I (and I'm sure others too) need right now. Many thanks for your help by creating this video. 🙏 😊
I’m not sure what happened but I did the meditation. Fell asleep and woke up high as a kite 😂. It was AMAZING. I’ve since normalized but It was probably the best meditation experiences I’ve ever had. I truly am thinking about visiting the meditation retreat one day! Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for your videos~ They bring be peace! I would love to come to Thailand. I do not know much about women becoming ordained... I have a calling for a devoted life.
Thank you (I)thank you so much now I did walking meditation 20 mnts independent (m) and 30 mnts your meditation with 3 Monks. I the end I feel all one whole without division and separation fulfilled and complete. That gives me Peace and relaxed. This remains most of the time 🙏👍😄😀🌹❤️
These 3 meditations have Peace Love and energy in between different thoughts from memory in the past but all not unethical chanting the mantra thinking and letting them go giving the benefit of this meditations to the world. Thank you 🙏😄😀. Excuse me without cama wrote in one sentence
Hi Nick, your channel opened my eyes and mind. I begun my journey with meditation and as you advised I’m having my journal. Could you please add some more meditations with monks or any kind lasting about half an hour? I know there’s a list of meditations- I did the longest. Kinga
I'm so grateful for this video, it allows me to do meditation as a virtual practice with others. I live out in a rural area of North Florida. I am now retired and don't have much money to go out and socialize, buying gas is reserved for necessity. I am fortunate that I have a "Zen-ish" practitioner right down the road from me so I am in good company. I mostly practice quiet meditation by myself (of course I am actually with everything else around me 😁), but this is a nice way to glance and see that I am in the company of other humans. 🙏💜
Thank you for this wonderful experience. I was able to participate the meditation of the monks. Closing my eyes and letting go everything and as I experiencing in me the emptiness I really felt that sort of nothingness but at the same time I felt that PRESENCE inside me and I truly enjoyed it. I experienced that kind of inner peace thanks to that presence.
Requesting my friend mind appreciating that now coming to this state is by his co operation and help so asked to take rest and be still for 2 mints Mind still for more than 5 mints then dinner time food thought there using mantras letting go Satisfied and happy my gratitude to mind 🙏🙏🙏🙏😄😄😀😀🌹🌹🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️and ayou and all the Monks
At rest and peaceful with the present Reality. Wish you happy new year. Thank you. I have started practicing mindfulness in daily life Very interesting but not successful all the time. 🙏😄😀🌹🌹
Can you do a video about the different meditation methods and their specific uses? Apart from the Dhammakaya-specific crystal ball meditation, apart from different sorts of walking meditation, tons of different ways of breathing meditations, there are all sorts of meditation methods described in the Visuddhimagga, all the Zen and Tibetan meditations methods, all sorts of Vipassana meditations etc. What are their different purposes? What's best for whom? Do they all ultimately lead to samadhi and panna?
Clarity there. All past objects lose their solidity and feelings and emotions Nothing can be held on to every thing same and neutral No subject object separation mind and objects are in union and Whole. Thank you very much for your help But election thoughts come but no attachment to it simply seeing it nothing to do with it. 🙏😄😀
Moment to moment experience comes and disappears and gone so clinging to experience is only strain so we have to appreciate birth and death of every moment. 🙏😄😀
This time not successful many distracted thoughts all insignificant half the time chanting distracting distracting then still the mind So not keeping still but practicing Satipatana. Thank you so much. 🙏😄😀
Why are the trees still as stagnant water? Why no birds fly by? Why doesn't the wind move? Why do the birds chirp in loops? My beginning thoughts to meditations...I guess I am a beginner...way to go....
Both rising and falling Nama is doing both rising and falling of the stomachToday meditation is very slow breathe in a a is rising and namadoing the falling of the stomach But ai am very slow forgetting the words find it difficult todo it but Reality is moving very quickly and changing. Today I realized again how temporary my experience how unsatisfying how I fall spray to Nonself nothing in my control This I learnt from Yutthadhamma monk Thanks Toto the monk and to you so much Please excuse you mistakes in explaining Here when I am writing this advertise ment is loud I hope you please join my words and find what I want to write🙏🙏😀😀😄😄🌹🌹
I still meditate on this video every night before bed; it truly has made a difference in my life.
Wow that’s so wonderful to hear. Keep it up Michelle 😊😊
