Are they with the same guy that guides this one?

This was excellent. Really well balanced and easy to follow and find the stillness. Liked and subscribed and saved to my meditation playlist. Thank you.

Your comment helped me push play! Turns out, this is exactly what I need to help me keep focused! 😉

Omg me too! This comment is exactly what I was gonna write

I agree 100% , the attention span needed was perfect !

Same.. I was judging too

God had nothing to do with it, you need to delete that program or whatever is making you say that, that’s bad karma, putting down god , speaking that out into the universe does nothing for you but bring back that energy you put forth. Happy travels!

@@crimsoncollective that person may not be religious or have the same beliefs as you. don't push your views onto them

@@crimsoncollective its not "bad karma" to say "goddamn". first of all, that's not how karma works, second, not everyone believes in what you do, and also, you can't "put down god" lol. if he is the source of all, you think god can be "put down" or even materializes as a mere HE or a SHE. jeeeeez jfc. stop.

Agree!

Glad I’m not the only one 😂

Me😂

Omg im not the only one

I keep falling asleep and then he gently wakes me up, 😂

Lol

Thanks!

Me too

i agree, music is so overused in meditation

@@DeclutterTheMind you made an outstanding video

There is literally no music in this video Jack ###

Exactly!

So calming

Also the longest too 😊😆😅😅😅

Right? This world is so distracting that I forget sometimes how unbelievably good it feels to slow down and be present to one thing at a time.

I didn’t even notice it go by

You're okay

I’m proud of you

Yes. You can do this.

What's so proud in this?

How's it going? I hope you're doing fantastic!

Throughout the day?! Please tell me that wasn't an exaggeration because I have ADHD and am desperate right now!

​@@-SimonRileysince quite many month I also developed OCD and ADHD for no reason and this is final year of high school. I've no chance PLZ HELP ME LORD!

@@a.pal_yt2018 well if you are open to medications try Adderall. I've heard it helps significantly, but you will develop dependency so it's a give-and-take

@@a.pal_yt2018 You can't develop OCD or ADHD they are present since birth.Been watching a lot of social media recently?If yes I would advice you to cut down digital use

Let’s gooo man !! That’s the way to go keep pushing it

i guess there are two things to do to stop overthinking: distraction with something so hard that you cant focus on the overthinking (difficult multiplication, singing a song, saying the alphabet backwards), or meditation. Nothing else works because the first thing i try to do is rationalize with myself. but you can't beat the monkey mind. it's too strong.

That recognition is the first step. You are welcome!

The first time I meditated, last week. My head began to hutch for three days. I had a pressure on my forehead it was not fun, peaceful it was a bad experience. Why? I’m very reluctant to meditate ever again and I can’t find the answers I’m looking for in the internet concerning that pain. Will it happen again? How to prevent it? What did I do wrong. And what approach should I take

the talking suddenly stopping & starting again personally kept triggering my panic/stress response

❤🙏 Felt great, centered. Ready to take on the day.

This was really helpful.

@@jamarmartin884 I think it's because you're trying too hard to focus, rather than just breathing and making sure u don't "unfocus" meaning that your mind doesn't drift away. I used to keep saying '"breath in, pause pause pause pause pause, breath out, pause pause pause pause pause" rather than just doing the exercise and getting my focus back on the breathing when it drifts away. The goal is relaxed concentration.

all of this right back to you 💗

Likewise friendo

reading this in 2024, three years after u posted this comment. i hope youre healthy and well. love :)

joyful journey yes I definitely feel this way! This always used to fuel my anxiety because people would just tell me to take deep breaths and that always stressed me out more’

I'm so sorry for you! Meditation should actually calm you down, I think you should slow it down a little and don't take this deep breaths when they tell you to do in the meditation - it would maybe help you when you take in the next meditation only one deep breath and as often you practise you can do more breaths when you feel comfortable and your body geta used to it! Also you can do 'meditation travels' where you just have to listen and feel relaxed, there are no breath technices required :)

Meditation, especially such that's supposed to make you feel "calm" and "still" just makes me more jittery and annoyed. So I see how it can make someone anxious :( I don't know how people actually get relaxed with it, it's quite an unpleasant experience

Hello ! this is because your missing the most important concept in meditation: Do not judge!. Focus on what the speaker says without judging, so in your case, you are judging your breath: My breath is shallow, im suffocating, etc. Just feel the breath as it is. One more thing is that the natural breath is shallow. If you do not force your breath, it is very natural to be shallow! :)

Abbabb12 Abb I second that! I know my breathing is not that great , and I have gone down that path of feeling anxious because of my breath. One thing that has helped me is just reminding myself that I am surrendering to the experience, regardless of what I think of it

(Imposter imperceptible) I agree that the church is a little bit more than a few other people but I think I’m going to be able to get it to work on the church or after church or do I need to get a hold of them or do I need to be there in the morning office...............##################################

Yeah when he said you could let your mind wander it didn't wander at all but when we had to focus if was, I guess it shows the meditations working

Hope things get better for you.

Glad it helped and couldn't agree more! Thanks

Btw I just noticed I can’t edit comments now but here is the list of the things I tried to attempt to focus on my study’s: 1.stopping social media 2.managing 3 hours on my phone 3. Excercising /doing “dance” As a form of workout 4.horribly attempting yoga 5.deleting and cutting off applications like Netflix KZfaq and phone games 6.doing to do lists for the day and or week( actually I’m still doing this and I think it’s going ok!) 7.set up a work space 8.Read a book , a self help book(I hate reading btw or at-least I think I do) 9. Organizing my room daily because “ your room is what your brain looks like “ 10.journaling (just started I can’t fully judge it yet) 11.waking up early ( by far the best tip to focusing longer , just straight out of bed and off to work not even breakfast) 12.talking through my task (mentally getting through it through speaking it out loud ) 13.blocking sites on my computer using a chrome extension (painful because I would go through a crap ton of settings to watch a KZfaq video) 14. Plomo doro methods (personally not for me) 15. Reward system (honestly I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly) 16. Lofi music (no) 17. Rain sounds (before a study session sure, during Noooo) 18.librarys (I get work done sure but it’s usually minimal work like 4 hours but only reading two pages from my not so dense text book And writing mediocre notes) 19. Eating healthy ( I think this is a myth how can food help you focus) 20. Meditation (yup lol that’s it I’m still doing it though 😌)

Keep it up and keep updating

Ah I like that analogy! I might borrow that in a future meditation if you don't mind. Watching traffic go by is a brilliant way to put it.

Update???

Something effective??

Please update us

***Update Omg I actually forgot. I've actually made meditation a habit now, my problem is I get bored so I don't use one guided meditation. Do I use other channels like Abide, etc. I mostly do this in the morning, before I open messages or social media. I've had problems with attention for a while now, but once I made meditation a part of my morning routine: * I could control my thoughts more, * I my study intervals went from 30 min to 45 min to an hour, * I haven't had anxiety in a while, also because I stop during the day and for 5 min I pray, put on guided meditate or just breathe. In the evening, I also refocus. Through prayer or guided de-clutter audio. There are days where I don't take some time to meditate... And I can tell the difference. But we always just get onto the wagon when we fall off. I use HabitBull to kick start a new habit. Or to get back on the wagon. It helps you keep track of your 21days and reminds you when you have not.

I've also learnt that being present and mindful when I do something really helps. So sometimes I actually make mental notes of making my bed, folding clothes, I eat without looking through my phone or watching TV. Actually be present when I'm talking to someone. Just minimizing multitasking in my mind and being present helps build focus.
