    I don't usually talk about stuff but you have saved my life. Your videos are so helpful. Following this video was my first attempt at meditation and afterwards when I opened my eyes I found myself in tears, but I was smiling at the same time. I found a way out that's relaxed my mind and body. I cannot thank you enough

    Dear Teal, i am practicing the same meditation since many years, You explained it perfectly! I just want to add that when You arrive to observe what you call the "silence" and maybe just little further, You will feel so weightless and joyful that you will perceive the happiness in the very state of being, and that will change everything... Life is beautiful

  • @gluntford

    i have never understood what meditation is until now. i've never even seen an explanation of what the state actually is, as if people are just supposed to take it at face value without understanding it like a religious practice, and eventually realize what it is and its purpose, maybe, over time; that's why i never practiced meditation, because i didn't understand the point. you explain things in the same way that i understand things and hope to be able to explain things. very glad to have found you, but i am not surprised that i did.

    I spent 13 years in prison when I started to meditate towards the last 3 years. The vibrating, the oneness, the bliss were beyond words. I began playing basketball (which I never had done up until then because I couldn’t have my ego bruised by not being good enough), but I began to put my emotional reactions in place. Walking the court yards alone in the rain, entranced by the moon, trees leaves dancing in the wind etc….I could go on and on. We are not our thoughts. That’s liberating.

    As a teenager and almost adult i suffered from intrusive thoughts. I did not want to loose control of my body so i watched my thoughts everyday every second. Now i can observe them neutral. Guess thats some kind of meditation too,
    So you could say that these "disease" are some kind of blessing.

    • @brunomoon9908
      @brunomoon9908 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Washing Machine Ka Bhoot There is a difference between thoughts and intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are usually created by a negative emotional state, ie anxiety. They pop up in your head when you don` t expect them there and they cause even more anxiety and distress....Now, if you are trying to think of new ideas,solutions or whatever and a thought related to that pops up, it is not intrusive, it is related to the activity and it is welcome to be there. Get it?

    • @seadoglonelyseal
      @seadoglonelyseal 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      PhilBo eh, if u dun want to lose control over ur body then u still suffer from your ego that creats fear of losing control when there s nothing to be controled and that is not meditation XD. May be just may be, u scare of your thought (some of it) so u need to watch it every second to be not out of control?

    • @seadoglonelyseal
      @seadoglonelyseal 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Bruno Moon intrusive thoughts not cause anxiety or distress, its just that if u want them to cause anxiety or distress it will actually be, and if u re mindfulness then u can choose otherwise. The same apply to every kind of thought, thoughts are just thoughts but u r the one that choose how it means or works.

    Teal's speach is the bright day of my week. She is beautiful and calming and sophisticated. I wanted to do meditation regularly, but I always arrive home and waking up feeling too tired. Probably i miss the major point with not using meditation as a stress relief that would end this witches circle of dragging my tired body around all the time. I feel she really turns me back on track.

    Sometimes ppl like myself are crippled by emotions such as fear or anger. I have catalepsy and sometimes intense experiences render me physically incapable so i withdraw from being fully submersed in my emotions. I am afraid to feel sometimes, but I do and never try to resist it. Feeling makes me empathetic to others.

    MEDITATION: I have never heard such anatomically correct and helpful guidance in meditation. I can be very " effective" in my 10 min meditation thanks to you. Only deep love for humanity, deep intention to heal and love us is what makes this so clear, helpful and effective. Thank you for your love and generosity!

    Hello Teal Swan, I have been listening to you, since end of the year 2016. Read a lot of reports on your life. You had a tragic life in your younger years. I knew most all the mediation techniques, exercising techniques to calm our mind and body. The third eye is about our intuition. Begins with our sight, hearing, sense of smell, sound, touch feelings. ANd our breathing in 4 seconds inhale and exhale. State of concentrating of our conscious and sub-conscious.

  • @CatastrophicChris

  • @esli4694
    @esli4694 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love how you explained what mindful meditation is.
    Ive been trying this meditation out and it works wonders.
    I've slowly been realizing that I have choices on how I want to react to emotions. Choices meaning on how to react to negative emotions.
    A good example would be anger.
    My mind comes to a state of awareness and it sort of feels like I'm in a crossroad.
    In this crossroad, I have a choice on whether to act violently to that anger or simply let go of the anger and try a peaceful alternative.
    It's like you become aware at that moment everytime and you can realize that reacting to the anger in a violent or unhealthy way, never really worked. What I mean by "never really worked," I'm simply stating that I've become aware that through my years living on this Earth, I have noticed that my classic reactions to anger never solved the peoblem, never eased my mind, and it never ended in a positive manner.
    This meditation practice is extremely helpful for all of us.
    Whoever read this long-ass comment, I'm going to safely assume that you're interested. And if you are; try this meditation.
    Teal; you're awesome. Namaste.

    As a child I played in the woods everyday without a care, nothing but great memories, Setting meditation in nature seems like the perfect place however I would not trust being alone in the woods nowadays. Seeing Teal in that setting makes me nervous for her. There are other options but I do feel really sad about the woods. Feeling safe and secure has to be a starting point.

  • @lucymadelengregg4482
    @lucymadelengregg4482 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to switch instantly into the observer self when I needed it as a child. And I emptied my mind and opt into the silence (because it gave me relief, calm and energy) to the degree I was afraid of leaving my body and beeing unable to return. (And possibly become posessed because of this) and stopped doing it... now as an adult Im the oppositeXD im an obsessive thinker....

    Some people do this instinctively through either years of discipline, or naturally. Some understand it on a grander scale, others can become depressed because they see more then others, don't fit in, can't understand why others don't see what they do, or know the difference, or they learn the why, start to understand it, and become whole again.

    That is really a Thing I do mostly intuitive since years. For a Long time I was afraid of being absolute subjective because that would mean that I Show my self to others. Over the years this daily mindfulness of my own Feelings and Actions has ironically brought me to Meditation and more self realization. Now I have to learn to be much more subjective at times because that's a beaty too. But I feel like this mindfulness helps really to see the truth in a Situation because you can watch your self really neutral how you react to an Information like a spiritual message. It is then that you really quickly manage to filter those negative and resistant believes out of your mind. Especially esotheric concepts are interesting because you can watch yourself disbelieving in them and realizing that it is that resistance that is Holding you back from the very Things you want.
