    Before doing this meditation please listen to the introduction in the Samadhi Guided Meditation playlist: • Samadhi Guided Meditat...
    In this series of guided meditations, it is important to have the correct relationship to the instructions in the guided meditation. The meditative technique of focusing on the breath must be understood as simply a way to divert energy from the mind, and to bring consciousness deep into the unconscious aspects of your being. The technique is not something to add to your mind or self structure. Any technique is a "thorn to remove a thorn", so you must be willing to let it go once it has served its purpose. As you move closer to Samadhi there is less mind, less technique, and less self, until there is a cessation of all activities of the self structure. This cessation of self is Samadhi, and in that stillness the dawning of wisdom or prajna is possible.

    This is by far the best guided meditation I have come across. No frills, no music, straight to the point. The instruction is excellent. There are points that seem so obvious but I have never heard anyone else explain. I feel I know what I should be doing now!

    " 25:00 just observe the breath, and the thoughts will settle down on there own. They will lose power. The patterns of thinking will gradually lose energy when you don't feed them your consciousness . Don't feed the Mind. You are using concentration of the breath to divert the energy away from the mind patterns."
    That was the perfect description of meditation. Wow. I entered a very very deep state. You start to see a compulsive pattern the mind has built up. Self talk patterns, movement patterns, all from habit. wow I am a creature of habit
    Like we are going in circles.
    Like our very solar system haha. no coincidence.

    I had “thought” by reaching the theta state I was experiencing nirvana or samadhi for several months, & I was “convinced” “I” had “done” it. But as you have said “we don’t know what we don’t know” This is a beautiful work of art, & I am deeply grateful for your films & guided meditations. It was while listening to this for the 100th time that I finally was able to experience Samadhi. Thank you my friend! I will do my best to continue on my journey in ridding myself of the illusion I identified myself with for 30 years.

    I found myself, as I have so many times, on a plateau, my spiritual journey stalled once again. I was falling back to sleep and doubting myself. I was asking for my next step. Then the universe brought me to your movies, and I can continue once again. I have to get up before everyone else in the house to practice, but it will be a pleasure. Thank you.

    Thank you. As a result of doing this meditation, I was able to go back to the age of about 6 or 7 years old when I knew exactly who and what I wanted to be. I was able to speak to my inner child and heal myself from all of the past hurts. It was so powerful. I didn’t want to come out of that state of meditation.

    • @bobrobertson3558

      Exactly ! This martial arts master is spot on in describing this meditation technique. In Chinese martial arts circles, this breathing technique is known as "nei goong" (literally "internal kung fu"), or more famously "chi goong" (literally "pressure kung fu"). Anybody who reaches your level of mastery will develop a random ability that seems to literally come from nowhere. I've known people who does this same technique and after a few years, some people don't need to eat for a whole month, some people don't need to sleep for weeks, some people (especially the Taoist kung fu masters in China) develop this ability called "Yin Yang Healing" where they can activate their "chi" to heal all sorts of internal maladies and physical damages. You just happened to "receive" the ability to astrally travel back in time to your childhood years and heal/help your younger self. I've developed a very warm touch that I seem to heat up during the winter and don't need to keep warm as much as a normal person anymore. So keep practicing this Chi Goong martial arts, and who knows how much more invincible you may become. (The normal "hard styles" of martial arts like karate, kung fu, wing chun, tae kwan do, etc) that we're all used to seeing taught at "karate schools" all deal with "External" styles of fighting. This here is an example of "Internal" style of kung fu.

It helped only at the first few times. Like many previous comments mentioned, I appreciate deeply the silence in between the messages, which come at the right time to reset the focus. Thank you! This is exactly what I need now! And it is encouraging to see so many meditators in the path to pursuit of spiritual growth.

    The only effort that is needed to be done, is in recognizing the ever-Present Truth. Truth - that I am That (Pure Awareness).
    Once recognized, all effort shifts toward clearing the False Patterning of Consciousness with the Mind (which comprises of Thoughts, Emotions, Feelings, Memories, Body, Intellect) i.e fully transcending the False Identification and replacing it with Correct one, Detaching from the stimulus received from the senses..
    Then Creating the reality the way we want through Presence/through being the creator/through Manifesting the Ultimate simultaneously being in the Human Form which will be in Alignment and Congruence with the Laws of Nature & Universe and generate well being for all. Hence it is said that the Greatest gift that you can give to the world is your own Self-Realization.
    With Love, Light and Blessings to the reader
    May you realize in the Lifetime and be Free from False.
    🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
    Remember the Nature of False is such that it SEEMS True but Actually it isnt. Just like Mirage effect. "Seems" is the keyword.

    I had a cool experience applying your meditations as I drove across the desert towards Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. I was really focusing on allowing my breath to come and go; waiting for each inhale to manifest on it's own, without my prompting. Soon I was feeling very "blissful" which is hard to describe but physically similar to an opiod high. But also a very joyful sense of peace and (freedom?). I didn't want it to stop and remained in that state for a couple of hours; all the way to my destination. I had no desire to put on music, podcasts, or other distractions, which is very unusual for me. Of course once I re-engaged with the world it all kind of dissolved and the thought patterns were back in the driver's seat, so to speak. I'm still able to get back into that state just about anytime I want, but not for very long. Anyway, just though I'd share.

    • @AwakenTheWorldFilm
      @AwakenTheWorldFilm  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The blissful state that you are experiencing is a sign of progress on the path. However it is important to not become attached to blissful feelings. Enjoy them and experience them fully, but don't be attached or identified. If you remain inwardly surrendered to whatever phenomena or state is arising without reacting, you will remain in contact with your true nature. Accept the coming and going of all states and realize who or what is allowing everything to be as it is.

    Terrific. I have done 4x 10 day Vipassana courses. This is the basis of my meditation practice, and especially during the silent retreats, has led me to unspeakable… well... However, upon return to “regular life” and it’s tumults, I often lose the continuity of meditation practice and the quality of concentration wanes. I have known the breath to be a key part of the technique. “Pranayana” is so much more than a gateway to Vipassana: it also seems to be a gateway to Samadhi. Anyway, today’s meditation, with your precise guidance, was a rare gift. It aided me to become sharp as an arrow and to stay on target. The meditation was successful. I’m sure I will use it again. Thank you 🙏

  • @alejandromacias5673
    @alejandromacias5673 5 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Breathing Once before each sentence this will make this session One Hour, along with the additional Breaths below.
    Start with a calm and peaceful mind. Relaxing deeply, yet being completely alert and present. Your outer posture should remain strong, but not rigid. Relaxed, but not slumping. Observe the natural breath. During this meditation, do not try to change or manipulate the breath in any way. You are simply observing this one thing that is already happening. Breath is happening, you are just noticing it. Cultivating the skills of concentration and allowing.
    (3 Breaths)
    As you observe the breath, don´t be surprised or frustrated when your mind wanders. As soon as you notice the mind has wandered, bring it back to the breath. Remain relaxed.
    (3 Breaths)
    The mind will wander, and you will bring it back to the breath. This is the meditation.
    (12 Breaths)
    Sometimes you might get lost in thoughts for a while. The practice is to become disinterested in any thought; planning, remembering, worrying, fantasizing. Regardless of what type of thought comes up, just let it go, without judgement. You may experience thoughts, that are judging your meditation, or judging your present experience, as being good or bad. Just let them go.
    (12 Breaths)
    As you sit for a period of time, hindrances will arise. Hindrances can come in the form of sleepiness, or restlessness, maybe boredom, or pain and discomfort in the body. When attention is diverted to any particular phenomena, the practice is to be equanimous(calm & composed) with what is. Simply, let it be as it is, and return to the breath. Sometimes, if pain becomes too great, it may be necessary to adjust your position. But with practice, your capacity to work with the hindrances will develop. You may notice, that moving away from your pain, sometimes makes it come back even stronger. Allowing pain to be as it is, opening to it fully, lets it arise, express itself, and pass away. Paradoxically, the way out of pain, is to go into it and experience it fully.
    (12 Breaths)
    Another form of hindrance, is wanting or expecting something to happen. Sometimes, blissful feelings will arise, an the mind will try to cling to these experiences, or recreate them. The same thing that applies to unpleasant sensations, applies to peasant sensations. Allow them to be as they are, relaxing into the moment, and always bringing focus back to the breath. Do not look left or right. Only see your meditation object, the breath.
    (12 Breaths)
    Observe the pulsation of the breath, the in and the out, expansion and contraction. Be sharp, lucid, present. Simply, abide with the natural breath.
    The mind may want to do something more interesting. Don´t let it become dull and repetitive. Feel the aliveness of the breath. Go into it.
    (12 Breaths)
    Notice every sensation, connected to the breath. From gross sensations, to the most subtle.When you observe the breath, maybe you will notice more air going in one nostril than another. Maybe there is a tightness somewhere in the body, constricting the breath. Maybe in the Hara area, the center located approximately two inches below the navel. Or in the heart area, or in the throat, or any part of the body. Simply notice, and allow it to be as it is.
    (9 Breaths)
    Notice how the stomach rises and falls. Is it deep or shallow? Is it changing in quality? Is it sometimes deep, or sometimes shallow? Is it smooth and fluid, or is it choppy? It does not matter what you find, just notice. Don´t try to manipulate the breath.
    (9 Breaths)
    Is the air going in the nostrils cooler than the air going out? Maybe there is a tickling sensation at the the nostrils. Can you feel the pulse of the breath? Like waves rising and falling on the ocean.
    (9 Breaths)
    Let the breath be free. Let it change, grow and evolve if it wants to. Let it become subtle, or disappear completely, if it wants to. Don´t miss the changes, notice them, no matter how subtle.
    (9 Breaths)
    Continue observing, patiently, persistently. It may take some time and practice to be able to stay with the breath without the mind wandering.
    (9 Breaths)
    In deep meditation, the flow of concentration is continuous, like the flow of oil being poured in a continuous stream.
    (9 Breaths)
    Egoic thoughts are interruptions, in the flow of concentration towards the breath. Don´t push away these thoughts. Don´t repress them, or they will just come back in a different form. But at the same time, don´t become interested in the thoughts. Otherwise, you will soon be daydreaming. The middle-way is: neither pushing away, nor grasping.
    (9 Breaths)
    Just observe the breath, and the thoughts will settle down on their own. They will lose power. The patterns of thinking will gradually lose energy, when you don´t feed them your consciousness. Don´t feed the mind. You are using concentration on the breath, to divert the energy away from the mind patterns.
    (9 Breaths)
    The breath can move unconsciously, when it is not observed. Or, it can move consciously. Notice if the breath changes when you put your attention on it. Notice any subtle change, when you bring consciousness to your breath. Conscious breath is Pranic breath. It is alive breath.
    (16 Breaths)
    When you focus continuously on the breath, your inner energy might begin to increase. This may generate friction, or some uncomfortableness. It may increase whatever patterns are in play. You may experience friction between your intention to stay with the breath, and the old patterns of the mind. This friction may make you want to move, to interrupt the meditation process. But know that this friction is integral to meditation. It is the friction that creates the fire that burns up the self. It is the alchemy that transmutes the duality of your pain and pleasure, into Samadhi.
    (9 Breaths)
    Always be surrendering. Always be present.
    (12 Breaths)
    Let the breath anchor you in the now. Let the breath ground you.
    (12 Breaths)
    If you want to gain mastery over the mind, master the breath.
    (12 Breaths)
    There is only one breath, the breath that happens now.
    (12 Breaths)
    Let the breath take you deep into your being. Dive deep into the ocean of breath,of inner energy, into the pranic stream.
    (16 Breaths)
    If your mind has wandered, if some thought has interrupted the continuous awareness of the breath, the moment you notice it, you will actually be back at the breath. There is actually no doing, when you return to the breath. You don´t do anything to return to the breath. You are simply noticing what the mind is already doing, and letting it go.
    (16 Breaths)
    The breath is profound, mysterious, but we take it for granted. We don´t really inhabit the breath.We don´t really feel the breath. Like most things, we perceive only our thoughts about it, not the breath itself.
    (24 Breaths)
    Concentration and deep surrender.
    (33 Breaths)
    These are the two dimensions of meditation. Be patient, focused, remain aware, remain equanimous(calm & compose), relaxing, present.

    Ночь. Невыносимо сжимание мышц. На Небе тёмном, крупными буквами Самадхи. Настойчиво слова приближаются, отдаляются. Все, что мне нужно было запомнить. Утро. Мест свободных нет, стоять невыносимо, но солнце светит и все прекрасно. В эту боль нужно войти, это трудно, кажется, что мяско от косточек отделяется, только дома все стихло, когда нашла, что нужно было мне и всем нам. От души, Благодарю за исцеление, за перевод.

    Wow my breath slowed down so much I was only aware of it by my stomach slightly rising at one point. I felt like the energy inside was whirling around like a slow spin and then up and down like a wave, side to side. Everything became so serene and still. Amazing meditation. I was aware of my neck leaning to one side. A blockage somewhere? I also felt the point where my ego was fighting against me but I went back to my breath and overcame it

    I also did many Vipassana courses over 30 years ago including, at Sayaji’s U Ba Khin’s International meditation centre in Rangoon, but 16 years ago found I was not getting anywhere, so I decided to switch to watching the breath meditation got access concentration and investigated the mind using Sayaji U Ba Khin technique of insight meditation to overcome attachment to mind. So thanks to both techniques.

    Anyone else feel a pulling sensation when you obtained a deeper concentration?

  • @cylestine
    @cylestine 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Curious question - has anybody else experienced a ringing in their ears (mine went from left to right, right to left, and also in a single ear at a time) and, as the ringing grew louder, a sudden sense of fear erupted with a feeling that "something" was there? Not like a ghost, demon, or anything like that - more like.. Gosh, I don't know. It was such an odd sensation. My mind just screamed, "Something is here!" and freaked out, lol! At one point, it said it didn't want to die. It kept going on about being scared.
    I just allowed the fear and thoughts to be there (along with this pressure I felt in/on my head and shoulders), observed, and reminded myself I was safe. It ultimately passed. The ringing and pressure still came and went, but I didn't feel as much fear towards it as it did so. In the end, I didn't feel fearful about it at all - but it also didn't grow as loud. It was more subtle for the rest of the meditation.
    Also, does anyone else end up like.. Bobbing their head, rotating, or swaying? Without meaning to. It's like, when I get really deep into it, my body moves like that on its own. It's another reason I started meditating while laying down, but it was recommended to sit here and allow any discomfort or sensation. So I did. 👌🏻
    I honestly thought I wouldn't make it past a half hour. I felt the need to use the restroom at some point, allowed the pressure to be there and just held it, but I eventually decided to go ahead and relieve myself. It felt like only 30 minutes at most went by. I figured it was less.
    I made it just past 53 minutes.
    I've practiced meditation before - multiple forms of it - but wow. This was something else.
    Thank you so much for this amazing content.

    Edit: Okay, so.. maybe it was some sort of spirit? Because I heard the cabinets opening and closing at least 14 times in the restroom next to my room, but my Aunt (who I live with and also has her room right next to the restroom) was asleep when it happened. No one else but she and I go in there. It's about 4:30 AM where I am, so it's the dead of night at that. Not to mention, I'm still getting on/off ringing in my ears.
    I've had a similar experience one time when I focused on my breathing as I'd go to sleep (a type of meditation I'd do before bed; this happened about a week ago now). The ringing happened, and - at the moment it got HELLA loud - I saw images of this hand reaching out to me clear as day. It faded in and out at first, but when the ringing was at its loudest? It was VIVID behind my eyes and went from looking like it was reaching for me to like it tilted to lovingly caress/cup my face. I was almost fully asleep when that happened, ended up gasping for air and snapping out of it. I asked what it was (I try to make it a habit to talk to my higher self), and "they" said I received a download and all was well. Whatever the hand was - I think it comforted me after? I'm really not sure about any of this.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. I feel a tad spooked, not gonna lie. This is my first time doing this meditation, and it was intense to say the least, but I plan to continue facing this fear. Now, the ringing is almost comforting (so long as it's not overly loud). I get tingles all through my body, too. xD
    Oh, and I don't have tinnitus. owo"

      I felt something similar, I did this session lying down in my bed. I lost my sense of touch I didn't have pillow but it felt like I did. The whole session was calming Nothing extraordinary but as I opened my eyes I started screaming because this experience was something I had never imagined. It felt like my soul was being pulled inside the body back. It was spooky lol.

But not during this meditation. I was just doing breathing mediation in silence without any guidance .

    • @ab-cm9bf
      @ab-cm9bf ปีที่แล้ว

      Loud sound and loss of body. In 24 minutes I experienced 3-4 astral exits and the fear of stopping my breath. Like my heart is about to stop. I had to make an effort to wake up and regain control over my breath and body.
      I'm curious what's next. I think after an astral, the brain will simply turn off for a deep sleep

  • @superb2416

    Thanks for this video, I was in search of such one. At some point a sudden vibration in my chest startled me while watching the breathing. After some time I was totally blank and had no idea how long I was in it.. When I came back again in presence then I felt a very deep long relaxing breath came out of me. Thanks, my Gratitude.

    • @AwakenTheWorldFilm
      @AwakenTheWorldFilm  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It sounds like you get it. That deep long relaxing breath can be there as every breath you take. If you continue long enough there is a flip, so that your heart becomes awake, and the YOU that you experience becomes the emptiness itself.

    • @superb2416
      @superb2416 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      AwakenTheWorldFilm Thanks for the reply. I want to know more - when I do chanting or meditation after sometime I get totally blank and then after sometime I feel a strong blow in my Heart which awakes me from that state and a sound comes out of my deep. It happens regularly and I stay for some 10-20 mins in that state which I don't know. What is that strong blow for?

      Yes. I felt energy rising up through my chakras. I also felt swirling energy withing me. It was like it was going round like a washing machine on slow spin, then up and down like waves and then side to side. At one point I couldn't feel my breath and really had to focus to find it. It was like I'd slowed my heart rate down so much, I didn't really need to breathe. Amazing 🙏
