- Mamata Venkat wants to empower people to unplug from their gadgets and inspire them to start working on themselves as much as they do their jobs. She will discuss the interaction between our internal and external development using her practice of meditation to exemplify how success in either does not have to come at the cost of the other.
A Perrysburg native, Mamata Venkat is a 2014 graduate of Wright State University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and a Minor in Spanish. After an internship with the United Nations' NGO Committee on the Status of Women, she decided to return to Dayton to achieve her lifelong passion of working in the healthcare field. She is currently pursuing a Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Certification at Wright State, with the aspiration of working in public health. Mamata is also employed with the Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program and is a certified meditation instructor.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

The present moment can unfortunately be unpleasant too :(
@@flute9354 well, not really.. you're probably chilling in a couch looking at this video, isn't it pleasant?
@@markjens9046 well is pleasant till you stand up from the couch and get back to your reality... But is your job to find peace and meditation is the way to get it
Nemesis Nemesis exactly you spoke my mind
@@flute9354 or boring
“It is easier to live in the past, It is more fun to live in the future, but it’s better to stay in the moment.”
I recommend everyone to do...minimum 20 mins closed eyes mindfull breathing daily...concentrate only on breath flow..where the breath touch ur inner organs
Watch videos of nanak naam 🙏
I agree
- as if we have any choice.
"Mediation is hard, but if you can create the willpower to stop your brain from thinking long enough, you can pretty much create the willpower to do just about anything." amazing line :)
Watch videos of nanak naam .it will help u
Wait I don't have will power? Guess I just gonna procrastinate because I am a normie.
Meditation is very easy... don’t overthink, just sit still and observe your thoughts and they will go away. Simple
Meditation is not to stop your brain...that way you go nowhere...instead meditation is more of let it go with ease approach...hence meditation is not being done but it happens when you just sit still and don't try to do or force upon anything.
That was so powerful
Hey Everyone!
I know this girl in real life! We took Anatomy and Physiology together- we sat next to each other during class in college.
She is an amazing human being! She's a honest, kind, loving person!
So know the information you are getting from her is genuine and with all good intentions!
Donna Monterey I remember my first lie
Still have her number?
And...... she is my girlfriend
So... you have her number then?
Well, I mean, would you??
I am sending this link to my daughter's email. She is still very young (2 years old) but she will see it someday when she grows old. I am collecting this kind of wise treasures for her future
Ana Bonn She is too small....😥😥😥
oh...that sound good idea.
and you are good father i saw.
i so adminded with her and actually i'm practicing meditation and read book of budda.
i'm so happie when i realized i become stronger
thank the budda.
finally i find out the way help me.
Your ideas are profound. Definitely you will substantiate yourself as a great father.
How can she have email
she is 2 years old and has an email!!?
I don't think I've found this by accident. I think we all feel this way in our lives. Trapped in an infinite loophole where the approval by "likes" from friends and even people we don't actually know that well, fuels our mind, and makes us feel "happy" for a fraction of a second. Our values are so superficial these days and our mind is constantly focused on the external situations. I've meditated a LOT in my life, and I know that it's amazing and life changing. So why is it that I still choose not to do it lately? Why do we constantly seek pleasure and happiness in the wrong places? The human mind is crazy! We know what's best for us, but instead we choose, as Mamata said: "to watch Ellen videos". It's always the same thing: "Starting Monday I will go everyday to the gym", "After this exam I will start studying hard", "Just gonna eat this chocolate one last time, and start a diet as soon as possible". We keep bullshitting ourselves, imagining a perfect future for us. But how can we have a perfect future, if we don't fix our mistakes in the present?
Thank you Mamata, for making me realize how fragile our mind is, and how important it is to stay in the present. It's a slow process for sure, but once we manage to conquer our mind, and work with it as a team, life can be much more beautiful, or as you say "in High-definition".
Well explained brother..
your absolutely right! we've got to do better. one love
Dan Wilkin thanks for this
Dan Wilkin true!
@TheEvolvedegg Hey man! So, the only person able to choose what to do with your life is yourself. I`m a bit like you in this matter; I`m also pretty good at everything I do! Which I`m very proud of, but at the same time, afraid, because that (fortunately) opens for us a lot of different paths to take in our lives. And the only thing that keep us from doing all of them, is money (let`s be honest, we need it to live in this modern society of ours), and of course, the ultimate deadline, which is our life spam. So, how can we know for sure what to choose for our career and life? Seriously, if that question had an answer, probably depression and doubt in people`s life wouldn't even exist!
Like you said, a simple change in our life, is capable of overthrowing empires and completely change the course of our life! But that`s why it`s so scary in the first place. If you`re passionate about something, and know you're good at it, why not pursue that? Life is too short for us to keep wondering of a possible future. I`m not saying leave your job and do what makes you happy without a plan. we NEED a plan. What I would suggest (again, only an opinion), is getting back to meditation, and create a plan while at it. It won`t just make you sober on your choices, but also organize most of your questions and dilemmas in life.
-Maybe save some money to keep you comfortable to leave your job for a few months and trying to go after your dreams;
-Why not use your free time to slowly master skills that you know will facilitate the path to following your dreams?
- Also just trying to find happiness in what you`re doing right now isn't a bad idea either!
Whatever you choose to do, know that there is no wrong choice. Life can be drastically different with every little choice you make, but that's what make it so beautiful. The uncertainty of tomorrow, is one of the best (and also scariest) things in life. Use it for your advantage, and not to bury your head in negativity and doubts.
There's a channel here in TH-cam that I found out about last week and it's pretty damn good for helping us make the right decisions. The name is "Practical Psychology" (search it up). I'm sure it would be of great help :)
Hope you find out meaning again in your life and pursue that with all your heart!!!
Meditation is just life changing. I meditate daily, if I miss a day or so I really notice a difference. I feel so much better and have more energy after meditating....life is more effortless. The ability to REWIRE YOUR THINKING through meditation is such a GIFT.
👍💜💜
What meditation are you doimg?
It helped me with ocd, meditation can literally change your brain structure!
@@floweryunicorn8888 how long did it take in order to work?
@@SimonHarrisononline it doesn't matter because all meditation type lead to same end goal .
She speak continuously for 15 min without break. Her each line is a gem. What else realistic example she can give for meditation.
and her english is so fluent too even though she isn't a native speaker, that's amazing.

"Anything is noise if it's loud enough to distract us."
2 years ago I start doing mediatation by only 3 minutes daily but now I m able to do it 1:30 hrs daily. I m glad to say that it really change my life, I feels more confident,hardworking,stress free and I enjoy life alots
mukul sharma how do you do it?
Good idea i will try
Divya Nair watch youtube video about meditation
Excellent experience...
That’s great! 👏🏽 I hope to get there one day also.
I started meditating 6 months ago ... Its was difficult in the beginning but here are the advandage you will notice. It will dramatically change your life in a positive way. Your inner world will drive you. Advandages are :
1. You can continuously focus on anything longer
2. Your inner soul will talks to you in terms by giving intiution.
3. You will realise what makes you happy, a realisation of your life purpose.
❤️👌🦅
How lond did it take you to see results?
@@leonardocosenza429 i started to meditate for 10 minutes straight from bed and i noticed difference after a month. I myself was a people pleaser, lack of focus, always needing external stimulai to make myself feel good. Those things all of a sudden fall away. I was able to focus on my work and able to find solutions quickly. I became more comfortable being myself. I was able to discard others small talks etc. The level of confidence is unexplainable. It makes sense how monks get incredible mental strength to walk alone.
Another important thing is the world of maya the matrix which is pulled to our own eyes will become clearer.
To explain this image a glass of muddy water. If u allow time it slowly settles down and water and mud seperates. But in real life we keep thinking and each thought is like stirring the muddy water again and again. Meditation is that time you give to that muddy water so the reflection of that is, you know who is the real you and naturally distractions falls away. Hope this help.
Im 19 and my biggest problem is being consistent. Its crazy cause I now find myself being more inconsistent then ever nowadays. Alot of change has come into my life and sometimes i dont know which path to take. Meditation has helped me alot but like other things im not being consistent with it. This video helped me alot. I was actually playing it out loud in my college hallway n i kept thinking " o my gosh ppl might get annoyed or look at me cuz im playing this video out loud" but i honestly stopeed caring after the first few minutes.. I rralized tht my mind was tryna scare me wen in all reality noone cared tht i was watching a video out loud. But anyways this video is a great one n i know tht im going to be more consistent and take my mental health more seriously
Great video but I kind of disagree with the idea of "stopping your thoughts". Accepting your thoughts and just noticing them as thoughts and not giving them power is my goal when I meditate.
Just witness when you sit for meditation , & slowly the magic will work
I agree
Yesss ur rigjt
damn true.....
Amen! Mindfulness is all about not allowing your thoughts to have power over you
At a very young age you display a great sense of maturity. I really liked the concept of balance between external and internal happiness and how they are inter related. Your sharing was very authentic and inspiring.
Thank you!
+Mamata Venkat you're like me.
matthew smith Yes it's amazing
matthew smith j
Mamata Venkat Hello ma'am. This video had been there on the recommendation list but I never managed to watch it until today, when it showed up at the top. It's strange how I've been through every single experience of yours, I happen to be a medical student in India, I was always in the top 3 of my class in school, and medicine was my only AIM but when I finally joined college I was shattered. The course was torturous, I had a few terrible experiences with some people and I was awfully homesick. I couldn't believe the fact that all that hard work for all those years that finally got me my dream course was useless because I just couldn't accept the environment. I was miserable and thought of dropping out of college several times. But I somehow sailed through.
I've only recently started meditation and I'm still in Medical school, getting good grades because I managed to pull myself together but I still feel only good grades and family time make me happy and there's a constant struggle to excel in class because maybe I've associated my self worth with it. But I do realise that nothing besides this makes me happy, absolutely nothing from within. So I can totally connect to your video.
I've found tremendous hope after watching your video and will be continuing the 15mins every day schedule.
Thank you so much.
I started practicing mindfulness since 2 days, now i feel more focussed and in present. Hope it goes good.😊😊
You don't need to forcefully shut down your thoughts. You just have to not interact with your thoughts and you'll realize you won't have any after some time.
Thats what has been a very difficult task for me to do while i sit down to meditate.
Watch videos of nanak naam 🙏
@@kismatshakya1858 try guided meditations they can help distract your thoughts
It's been only 40days that I've stared my meditation and I get to find more of myself and everything around me. :) Thank you for the video.
If u do only meditation how do you get to find more of urself
Meditation is not an exercise of the mind, it is a relaxation of the mind.
And it is not about stopping the brain from thinking, it is about accepting the content of your mind, which afterall has all been gathered from the outside, accepting your mind and watching over your mind as one would watch TV, or a parent watching their children playing around in the garden, from a safe yet considerate distance.
true :)
Beautiful !
That’s I thought
When she said exercise she meant it as TRAINING your brain to be fully conscious so that you are not bombarded with thoughts. Hence why she mentioned that she gained self-confidence. Because you aren't thinking about how you look, what others think of you and just the bad thoughts you have of yourself. You are fully conscious in the present moment. You are at PEACE.
For me, a devout catholic, meditation is prayer. Since I started sitting 30 minutes a day in the chapel, looking at him, him looking at me, thinking, etc. my life changed for the best. Her meditation is my prayer
No meditation is different
Amen
@@prathmeshkamble88 meditation ans prayer are very similar
@@mellamankill I think meditation is working on yourself and prayer is working on your relationship with god
Conquering Spaniard I think you misunderstood the video, that has nothing to do with religion
usually i don’t write comments, but I want to say that this is one of the best videos I‘ve seen! Thanks!
Inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Summary for those in hurry! *:D*
1. True success comes when you take the time every single day to work on yourselves internally and cultivate the values you want to see in yourselves internally.
2. Being able to hold on to those values and express them in any external circumstance whether they be *Positive* or *Negative*.
3. We will learn to do things when we choose to do them!
4. Learn about yourself every single day with meditation and using that and expressing it in any situation you are put in!
Mahaveer Jain
Sir I satisfy your opinion and also wanna say positive and negative both are helpful. Thank you sir
Thank you for the summary
Mahaveer Jain cool
I started to watch this video for my English listening practice!
But while listening her voice somehow my mind became very quiet! I think I was meditating unconsciously
Thank you
"Anything is noise if its loud enough to distract us."
That's deep!
It's so true that seeking gratification from external sources has become a way of life for many, and most "skeptics" to meditation are people who've never given it a chance. As with anything, it's important to stick with the practice to reap the full benefits!
From someone so young, this is amazingly insightful. God bless.
buddism not believe on god . buddism base morality
The way you explained your dissatisfaction with silence was really interesting. How by focusing on quieting your interior world you could quiet the exterior more easily. Awesome talk. One of my all time favorites on the subject.
Wow-- thank you!
Mamata Venkat inspirational
Clarity in your thoughts is visible. Inner peace is what we get from meditation. Circumstances change on a daily basis but that doesn't affect us internally. Thanks
She covered a lot in 15 minutes.
Great speech about meditation! I have been meditating for 8 months now and since then I been feeling every time better. I always try to explain to family and friends the benefits of it but I never manage to explain it properly, your speech has really helped me understand how to explain what meditation is and how it can help anyone
So happy to read this! Glad to read that meditation has been of benefit to you! Thanks for watching :)
Can you upload more of these speeches on your own channel?
Sam Lubbers plz tell how to do it
Simple and honest talk ,to which everyone can relate to..especially youths.Thanx for motivating us :)
Happy to hear that you can relate, Abhishek :) Thanks for watching!
Mamata Venkat ur an exquisite example of beauty n brain combination..Ur eloquent candid n appealing plus gorgeous..grt job mamta
+Kunjal Chawda Please speak proper English, I'm Indian but if you can't speak English you should go back to school.
xrx0R 9 It's ridiculous what your education has done to you to believe that speaking "proper English" is the purpose of education! You should be ashamed of yourself.
Perfect tone with confidence I love the way she us talking
Wow I related to almost every single thing she said from her experiences coming from a desi background, her emotions, her academic choices, just everything. You can tell she is successfully meditating based on how confident she speaks and with utmost conviction.
Spontaneous speech comes out of her heart which shows her pure experience. Useful to all younsters around the world.
I meditate ten minutes a day it has made huge impact on my life
Just the inspiration, I needed.. thank you
It's wonderful that you have reached this position of “loving silence” and “loving yourself” through meditation. I also thank God for having raised my level by meeting your convincing speech.
I can relate to her. I am of indian origin living in Germany. I gave up medical school and was seen as failure. I finished my masters in biotechnology. My passion lies in music, but
You're no failure.
masters in biotechnology!? yeah thats failing allright
archangel z She's an Indian, like even Mamata said, we are basically taught the way to success, and anything that deviates from that, at least, initially, seems like "failure" to ourselves or most of the people
Rethink.
ur not as pretty tho
Amazing short lecture on meditation and its benefits. Thank you so much Mamata! I wish you the very best. May we all be at peace!
For people like me who can't and dont know how to meditate: just search on TH-cam for guided meditations. They really do help and my life has pretty much transformed since I started listening to guided meditation. I'm currently listening to Louise Hay's work.
any specific recommendations ?? :)
i mean i try to do but i really dont understand WHAT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE DONE :"(
inspiring! Yup, meditation can be hard. Been a meditator 35 years, myself, and some days it's still hard. To make it a habit, I think it really helps to have a teacher and be part of a community, although there are apps now too that people love. Myself, I do OM Meditation now as taught by Buddha Maitreya. Its easy, yet profound.
Truly one of the best explanations of meditation I've heard thus far, Bravo!
Excellent talk. You have a great future. Good luck
I'm glad she was able to turn her life around, and have the courage to do something different from her social pressures. As an Indian, I can also say that I faced similar issues. While I did like medicine, it wasn't for me, but it's not something that I realized until much later after medical school I've always liked science and learning how things work. That's why I started with engineering before medicine. Now, I think my passion is teaching. Life is a journey of self-discovery and people will continually change directions. Meditation was not my escape though. It was martial arts. All you really need is to find just one thing, anything, you can focus on and that can be your "meditation". For others it's music or painting or rock climbing or exercise. It's finding something you genuinely are interested in that you can focus on and not have to force yourself. Having that will power to focus on one task can then be applied to other things in your life.
Best Self Improvement Video I've ever watched on youtube! This is pure GOLD.
A pure thought!..Meditation can be done in several ways...the best way is the way you feel it...its something you just know in that moment..
I felt really connected with you experience and fell really blessed to hear you ....felling relaxed
The way she delivered the speech shows a lot about her charecter. She was on point and each point made sense. Thanks for sharing the words of wisdom with us. Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing. I just started on my meditation journey. I feel in this season of my life. It is time to heal my wounds from the inside first. Then my outside world will change. Great video!!!
Wonderful description. At such a tender age, having that amount of experience is wonderfully brilliant.
so much clarity in thought!
She is such an kind and genuine soul ! 😇
Amazing human being ! 😍❤
every problem a beginner in meditation will face has been discussed very clearly..
and realistically...
awesome video..
Mamata Venkat - So elegantly presented with poise and wisdom. Your discipline and commitment to living an extraordinary life are so evident in every word. Love the humor you added to an oft confusing topic. Stay blessed.
Excellent presentation.
I just loved the way you explained the importance of meditation. Thank You.
What a talented young lady. One of the best Ted Talks I've seen. Nice work.
One of the best TED ever. It is just what I was needing! Thanks for this!
Amazing speech, very clear and mature. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this(me included).
Now I have to give meditation a try.
Thank you for this!
Thank you, beautiful and empowering speech!
Wow, this is incredibly relatable for so many college students these days, including myself. I wish I knew more people with the wisdom and genuine honesty as Mamata Venkat. I would absolute fall in love with this girl if I knew I her in real life. I can imagine just being able to chill and talk to her for hours and not ever get bored of her.
this video had been popping up in front of my eyes since long back but watched it finally today and gosh it blew my mind away. so so thank you. I was being careless about meditation lately but now I'm inspired to start again.
Amazing...I get a lot of inspiration from this talk..and watch it from time to time..
I felt the same dissatisfaction with education, society then I found myself through meditation. 😊💐
I'm amazed by her story. Simple and real. The problems that all of us go through some time or the other. And even though we all try to run away from the universal solution that is meditation, yet most of us need it desperately.
Well, she sure has clued us in on the number one formula to both personal and professional success in life: having a strong, effective morning routine such meditation or tuning into the right kind of media first thing, mindfully driving to school and showing for classes with motivation, and really getting the mind orderly and structured for a productive day ahead.
Meditation has also changed my life in ways I thought was never possible. It just makes everything more clear and shows you real path of your being a humanitarian and also what you are here to do.
my
How do you practice it?.... Like complete silence or with the meditation music?
@@Praddyy29 she is talking of Heartfulness Meditation
Such a well spoken lady!! Well done Mamata, I love this. I was the same - went to Uni (broke up with my boyfriend before leaving) then did accounting, dreaded all my classes, I ended up graduating but don't do accounting now :) I am chasing my dreams and loving it. I try to live mindfully, I don't necessarily meditate but I exercise daily and focus on breathing at some point in the day :)
focusing on breathing is the best meditation
Thank you, Mamata! Your story gave me great inspiration. Good luck with everything.
great reminder to get back to my meditation routine. Thank you for this gem of a video, and thank you for you honesty/transparency /authenticity.
This is by far the best thing heard on meditation. Thanks for sharing, so relatable. I am giving meditation a try from tomorrow itself. Need a bigger change from who I am today.Wish me luck ;)
Really inspiring talk Mamta! Beautiful! Agree with you that we all keep looking for external validations and are always in unhappy and chaotic state of mind and it continues as long as we remain slave to our restless mind. Practicing meditation gives calmness and the awareness of real Self the Soul, which anchors you so that you don't get tossed around by the storms of life!
I love the way she speaks... she is so very smart and inspiring speaker.. she's also very successful person.
Amazing clarity of thought and expression. God bless you
I love how she speaks! :)
Meditation is changing my life. It's amazing ❤
Masturbation changed my life also

Mamata, thank you very much for sharing your story. I have identified a lot and will meditate from now on.
It truely inspires me to start my amazing journey of meditation. Thankyou so much such an explorative and useful video
Brilliant! Tremendous content and insights, thank you for sharing. Appreciate you!
Good speech !!
I have been meditating from last 2 years it changed me lot. it showed me more clarity of life. at present my mind set while meditate is nothing matters in this lige when I start to feel this way my all sufferings and thoughts goes away. this is how you can restart your brain.
How eloquent! This was special. Meditation is everything. And the answers u search for are IN meditation
well said! and this video was very useful for me. I'm trying to get into meditation and it's proving to be very hard. But am determined to get the hang of it. your words and experience are inspiring. thank you xx
Not gonna lie, I can totally relate to and identify with more than half of it. I found this while meditation. Great presentation.
Happy to read that you could relate! Thanks!
Mamata Venkat I fall asleep or feel dizzy. cant concentrare
Thank you so much for inspiring me and everyone around.This is really helpful and encouraging.
All she is saying is 💯% true .. these are obstacles when we try to meditate.. she has given motivation to those people wo try to meditate.. awesome, and tons of thanks for sharing such a genuine experience.
She's gorgeous
I love this. I just started meditating for the first time a few days ago. It was simply amazing.
At first I could not get my brain to shut up but I have also been practicing law of attraction and controlling my thoughts for about 5 years so after 5-10 minutes I stopped being distracted by thoughts and was able to let go.
I used the time to connect with my guardian angels who are happy to talk with you once you get your brain to shut up lol. They told me how proud they were that I finally had reached this point in my life where I was turning inward for the answers. They made me feel like they had been waiting for a long time for this moment. I asked for help with finding a job. Here I am 3 days later and I finally got a call for an interview after 2 months of dead ends.
But back to my first meditation. I ended up meditating for 21 minutes but it literally felt like 5 minutes. I heard that your first time you'll be lucky of you can get five minutes down. And to try to work up to 20 minutes.
I also smiled the whole entire time. It was such a blissful and loving place to be.
Afterward I felt like everything was brighter, I was able to pay attention to things way better, and the backround noise of my mind didn't come back until about 30 minutes later.
I'm a procrastinator so I put off doing this for a long time even though I read countless studies about positive effects of meditation and heard good things about it. But after I was done I felt so good. Was so proud of myself. And vowed to stay in contact from this point on.
on that note.. its time for my meditation.
how do u do it
Great content. I myself is doing meditation taught by Art of Living foundation on regular basis but for some reason I was searching for rock solid motivation for doing meditation and I found this. Thanks a lot 🙏. God bless you young lady 😊.
It makes sense. By shutting off our mind, we will be left with just one voice. Inner self. Looks like meditation was what I was looking for. Thank you.
Lovely video, Mamta. I've started meditating but on most days, I don't do it because it's just too darn hard. Your video has inspired me to take it a lot more seriously!
Thanks, Rachita! Best of luck with your meditation practice :)
Thanks for the motivating talk Mamata. Until today I had been doing meditation casually without focusing much on how my life would change if I choose to be consistent with it. Though, I could feel small change in my life, I had never been taking it much seriously. But after watching this video, I feel I should practice it with a little more serious and see how the magic works!
Once again thank you.
God Bless You

Prolly the best speech I heard in TED! Very relatable!
I practise mantra meditation and it changed my life like nothing else. Sometimes I feel so happy while meditating, I start crying... tears of happiness :) I chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ...and growing in character is just a side effect :)
You can chant whenever, wherever... the only thing important is to sincerely try to listen to the sound vibration. If your mind wanders, just bring it back to the mantra. Like anything else, you need to practise and like our guru said, be happy. This is just a simple instruction... there's a huge base of ancient knowledge behind it of course.
You can sing it too if you want. :)
Dejan Burnik you are growing in character ? how do you know?
TFOGITBOW I see how other people who are chanting growing in character. I have a long way to go :)
what type of meditation you practice. send details
Growing in character is side effect means
I'm 21 years old, I can relate to all of this. Her story is pretty similar to mine, the only difference is that I used weed to improve my life. Weed brought meditation naturally to me. I don't think I would have done it without weed. I would have kept living in that mind bubble isolating me from my inner self. My confidence has improve, started hobbies I always wanted to have but I was always to lazy or afraid to start them. I'm really happy I got to experience this change at such a young age.
Im at that point right now in my life as im 20, might aswell try weed as i read all the beneficial thong that come from it, my confidence and self-esteem is preety down to 0...
Sure you can use weed, but use it as a tool to improve yourself, don't just smoke for the high.

I have been meditating off and on for years now. She has inspired me to be consistent and to go for longer. I have also learned of new benefits of meditation like confidence, tolerance, compassion and love; values i seek to possess.
I'm going to try harder, longer and consistently. Needed to hear this. Love her❤
I successfully dodged moving forward in meditation. Gave away the thought , as it was getting stuck. Now,this person has encouraged me to move forward. I will give it a shot. Great insights. Regards
This is great! I can relate to several of the things she talks about in this video. As a 16 year old girl, I have suffered depression for several years in my middle school and high school years and I have also felt very inadequate to others for a long time. I also understand the pressure Asian parents put on their kids to succeed. I have been meditating every day for the past 3 months, and it has helped me tremendously. I have also been learning more and more about self improvement, and I've been happier ever since. :)
Aab condition kaisi hai apki
beautifully spoken! this really motivats to reflect upon myself and start medidating too and regain objectivity over my life :D
Thanks for your kind response!
