I am a teacher and I have added five minutes of meditation to the beginning each class period. I have found that this provides my students with an excellent break during their day and provides some space between what has happen before and what happens next - time to breathe. This video is an excellent resource in helping students understand how and why we are sitting quietly to begin class time.
I'm a section leader in my marching band, and I've done the same with the members of my section! It really gives them a chance to breathe and clear their minds before learning new stuff, has made for much more productive rehearsals!
I've been practicing it for 3 months. It really works!! But most people don't continue it, saying that they can't control random thoughts. But this will happen at first. After a couple of weeks of continuous practice. Things will improve, the food will we be tastier, you will see beauty in everything. No anxiousness and all that great stuff. But for this you have to give atleast 2 weeks. Then you ll be addicted to meditation. Which is great. Love from India
Jonas Geiser i don't use any apps or anything like that, lots of people recommend headspace tho, i just set a timer and focus on my breathe or the sounds around me. there are a ton of tutorials on youtube. just search how to meditate. don't get caught up in all the frills of the tutorials, like how you sit, what you do with your hands. etc... its all about what you do in your head

I've been meditating regularly for 17 years. It's not a cure all but it does make a difference in your outlook and attitude. That being said it's not easy and it's important to not get frustrated when you don't see immediate results. You won't see results at all. You'll just transition into them naturally over time.
Had never thought that this channel would be anything, however, I was completely wrong. I am so glad I found it and you really have made a difference in my daily routine. Thanks, and keep it up
Excellent information! I've been practicing meditation in the Yoga tradition for 25 years and it has been a blessing in my life. Everyday I feel the benefits of meditation in my mind, my capacity to overcome challenges in life and to be a better person in general. For people who suffer from mental health disorders, anxiety or for people who want to improve their lives I highly recommend practicing meditation twice daily.
Bro i just started to meditate and try to make it a habit because i have so many problems but u make me so mativated to get as many hood habits as i can and have a better life!So thank you man!!!
You are doing a fantastic job Improvement Pill. You have for sure established yourself as one of the best youtubers in my opinion, keep the great videos coming!
Woow man. I seriously can't wait until your next video. I don't know why or how you don't have over a million subscribers already, you say allot of useful information in your channel. You seriously helped me out allot. Thanks 🙏
i just want to say thank you for all the informative information. i was looking for info to provide to a friend on this topic in general and came across your chan. You got a new subscriber here. Keep up the great work please. Personally i have been meditating for over 15 years and i must say to anyone reading this... yes it will change your life beyond your wildest dreams.
I started with video what to do in your free time after it had a que how to medidate ( before suggestion pops up) After it thought what are the benefits of meditation (before suggestion pops up) Great job ❤️
i dont have a particular routine for meditation but i try on a consistent basis, when i dont need to use my mind, to enter a meditative state. at first its hard to silence exessive thinking. but with practice, thoughts have less of a pull and you are no longer thrown around or at the mercy of your own mind. its seriously beneficial to heath.
meditation helped me more then anti-depressants provides some relief in short term and makes my mind stronger in long term i had high blood pressure constantly for months(maybe years) due to stress and anxiety (i was only prescribed with small dosage for 10 days)
I bet you can't find someone who still thinks like "Meditation is..mehh", after watching this and hearing all those study-references you mentioned. Good work brother, very appreciated!
Your videos are so logical and informative... I've never, in my life, been so low.... hoping these are going to help.... gonna give them a go... thank you
Meditation is like having myself as a teacher to clear, think, and use my mind to its fullest potential. Great ideas has been created by me mediating and gives me less anxiety about the past.
in karate class a few days ago we did meditation. it was very fun. then I watched your video today and it's just told me in the face that I want to try more.
Even if you have nothing in life you will feel happy and relaxed. Thats the magic of meditation. I have seen many people who have everything and still they are not happy.
Can't wait to know from you how to meditate. I consider you a reliable source of information and I have been changing some bad habits inspired by your videos. Thank you.
Nice work on this video and all your other ones as well. Keep it up! Going to start a meditation challenge - meditate everyday for the rest of the month.
I’m an MMA fighter in training, I just started training 9 months ago and I realized I wasn’t reaching my full potential in training, so I was looking for a way to improve so I thought maybe I should work on my mental state since working on my physical state is only taking me so far. After watching this video I know now if I want to be the best fighter I can be I need to meditate
Thank you for making this video short sweet and to the point. My mom has been telling me for ages to meditate I would tell her I am going to, but I never did . I really want to start ...
1. Changes your brain structure to improve your life 2. Reduces bad emotions like stress, depression and anxiety 3. Helps overcome bad habits by stimulating brain growth in willpower 4. Increases ability to concentrate and focus 5. Is better for health such as decreasing risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure and decrease telomere length 6. Makes you happier
Meditation practiced over thousands of years in Indian sub continent but all credit goes to some American doctors who studied meditation for 50 years. This is really nice video, very informative, but need to point out it's origin. Thanks.
Great videos! Thank you for being more specific in the studies your basing these on. Next time could you make a list of them in the description and include links for the studies that have one?
Hey is it possible to link the studies that you mention in the video? So I can read the study myself. Thanks in advance! Also good video! A lot of information.
of course it would be good if they were linked in the description. but for the time being you can usually really find them on google. i know since i tried myself. just type in the year and the author and it should work (not sure if that'll be fine for all of them).
Some of them can be easily found: www.matthieuricard.org/system/resources/W1siZiIsIjIwMTMvMDUvMTMvMTlfNDhfNTRfNzY3X0x1dHpSaWNhcmRldGFsMjAwNExvbmdfdGVybW1lZGl0YXRvcnNzZWxmX2luZHVjZS5wZGYiXV0/LutzRicardetal2004Long-termmeditatorsself-induce.pdf But good point!!
***** How is that a problem? For example, if you use a study and cite them down, we can contribute to the subject or just read it. You are the creater of the video that used a study or more, therefore you have to cite the link(s) because you are responsible for that.
+Leone Silva I think it is kind of the video creators responsibility to leave his sources in the comment to make his points actually valid. Just as scientists do that when they write a paper. Because it's unnecessary to google 20 things. I also struggle with searching studies somehow. I tend to not get to the papers but only descriptions of the study. Why do you have to be a bitch about it anyways
I'm glad you're going to be going over how to meditate next time. While watching this video I was thinking "He should have his next video on how to meditate." and what do you know, it's exactly that. Can't wait since I've been too lazy to look it up for myself. :D
it is true.. Plz practice. just 10 minutes your life will be under your control n the happiness that came out of meditation not just a ordinary one. words can't describe that. Plz try n see. U will thank this wonderful man who created this video later.
Nice. Some links to those studies would be much appreciated. Also I cant wait for your next video. I have tried meditation and it is hard! I hope your tips will help.
Its crazy I just meditated for the first time and the amount of negative thoughts and emotions that came up was crazy. I have alot of anger and frustration inside from what I got from it. Feel better already.
Just tried it for the first time and thought I wouldn't be able to last 5 minutes. I lasted 10 and it didn't even feel like it. I know it's not a lot but I could feel my heart rate slowing down and already felt better just after my first attempt.
I've been meditating for 2 years and have noticed some benefits. I meditate about 2-3 hours per day, and can tell you that I certainly have not experienced great surges of motivation or sudden insight like Einstein or Newton had during mere moments of stillness. All that happens for me is I don't think much at all anymore; my mind is like a rock until I really need to think. I still have bad habits, can name 100 people more successful and yes, even more balanced than I. It's helped with a few things, but it hasn't improved my willpower, compassion, or happiness much at all.
Just do it, nothing to lose but everything to gain!
*time
@ the sole purpose for watching this is because im tasked to.
@ i didnt click on it to complain i was told to watch it and i didnt like it.btw learn to spell and go to school

I only took up meditation a few weeks ago. Upon seeing this, I feel like I should've started years ago!
That thing with Telomeres is new to me, but kinda resonates with me
hello I came from the magic pill channel, I watch your videos to learn English
Its crazy I just meditated for the first time and the amount of negative thoughts and emotions that came up was crazy. I have alot of anger and frustration inside from what I got from it. Feel better already.
I wanna meditate for one thing...
I dont want to be depressed ever again. 😢
AFTER WATCHING THIS
I WILL JUST SAY
''Amazing''!
Just tried it for the first time and thought I wouldn't be able to last 5 minutes. I lasted 10 and it didn't even feel like it. I know it's not a lot but I could feel my heart rate slowing down and already felt better just after my first attempt.
Great video! I'm looking forward to the next
I've been meditating for 2 years and have noticed some benefits. I meditate about 2-3 hours per day, and can tell you that I certainly have not experienced great surges of motivation or sudden insight like Einstein or Newton had during mere moments of stillness.

I still have bad habits, can name 100 people more successful and yes, even more balanced than I. It's helped with a few things, but it hasn't improved my willpower, compassion, or happiness much at all.
2-3 hours??? Thats way too much.
