Same here. There're so many people with short attention spans and I found myself constantly distracted by them. I assume they have unhappy minds.

Such a good quote.💯

How did you do? What kind of meditation did you do?

Me too

Please tell me how! Desperately need to quieten by busy mind

Oh how I wish to be you… it’s not the easiest.

But this is NOT the goal of meditation / mindfulness. The goal is not to control your thoughts and “only allow positive thoughts in” or even to silence your thoughts. This is impossible. None of that is the goal. This is a common misconception. The goal of meditation/ mindfulness is simply to observe and let it go… _without judgement._ Thoughts are neither negative or positive, they just *are.* There is no way to silence our minds or experience only “positive” thoughts. It sounds like you haven’t studied meditation/ mindfulness to say these things.

What was the 10 minute meditation practice please

@@jodiescott8731Hi! It was a 10 minute unguided meditation. Just set a timer. Usually I follow my breath. If I’m in a stressed out state I will say inwardly: In then out and so on. I sometimes include the practice of counting down and counting up. This involves saying inwardly: 30 then 1, 29 then 2, 28 then 3, etc. It’s great way to train your attention. Hope this helps!

I just want to say thank you very much Steven, for taking the time to reply and give me a guided start. I have been through a very traumatic experience, and greatly needed a start with meditation to hopefully improve my life. So much appreciated. :)

What are some of your meditation practices?

Me too

We are social beings that are conditioned to live in individualist society, so ofc these stuff would happen, unfortunately. We need to bring community based back!

Thank you.

​@@adamtaylor9189sounds like you need it 😉 Just for your self reflection: with what tone of voice do you talk to yourself in your mind?

I have been paralyzed by loneliness, lack of purpose, feeling of anger and depression for many years. It is only through meditation that I find deep peace and contentment. I am now inspire to teach this to my own kids that there is a way to find inner happiness and peace despite what is going on around the world.

happy and inspired to hear things are going well for you. keep at it. i'm starting my journey to a healthy mind, today.

Good for you!We really do create our own world for better(or for worse)!

@Chertsey Nermal It's actually very simple and boring, unless you bring all of preconceived notions and baggage with you, then it can be downright terrifying! There are plenty of great KZfaq videos and meditations to help get you started! Namaste

this is honestly so inspiring and i hope to be able to get to this point one day soon. i am 16 and drowning in anxiety, depression, fear, and my past. i am honestly desperate at this point to get better as this is ruining my teenage life. i have heard about meditation and mindfulness and have been tempted to try it, but having adhd its very hard to just focus my mind on it and be motivated and consistent with it. i believe so deeply that i can get through this with support and self-bettering. thank you for sharing yourbstory

Did you cure your anxiety by mindfulness?

Now pray for those you do not know or love. Therein is peace

Meditation and praying can overlap, but they're not necessarily the same thing.

changed my life! i second this.

Love the Power of Now, listened to the Audio book several times. Started me on the journey!

I purchased The Power Of Now back in 2005 & it changed my life drastically! Because of that book I don’t worry, stress, fear anything... I am always present in pure bliss. I highly recommend it as well. ✨

I suggest you do a Google search to see what Real mental health professionals have to say about this guy, Tolle.

Saved my life!

Thank you.

That was so true! "A wandering mind is an unhappy mind." Four challenges: Distractions, Loneliness, Negative self-talk/beliefs, Lack of purpose Four pillars: Awareness, Connection, Insights, Purpose "META AWARENESS is knowing what our minds are doing."

Thank you!

and how do you do that?

@@illyrosen9772 The simple way is to think about the situation when you felt love. Like hugging somebody you love, a child, or even your pet. The best memories are when you felt the mutual love that you shared with somebody. But other happy memories are good too, like watching beautiful landscape or feeding birds. It is an individual thing. When you think about moments you felt love you start feeling love. It doesn't even have to be a real memory. You just have to think about something that makes you feel love. It works the same with all emotions. Thinking about the moment when you felt an emotion connects you to this emotion and you start feeling it (generating it). Sad moments, angry moments, peaceful moments, etc. After some practice, you will be able to generate love just by wishing to feel it, and eventually, you will feel it almost all the time. It will be harder to do when you are in a bad mood but it still works, you just have to make a bigger effort.

@@illyrosen9772 i find the easiest way is to always have at least one person you can practice love for daily. If you dont currently have an SO or not around family members, a dog works just as well.

Alexandru Gheorghe I began my meditation practice much the same way. About 2 years ago, very skeptical, a bit at a time. Found both Headspace and Calm app to be very useful. Now, I can’t imagine a day without formal meditation and informal mindfulness. It has allowed me to find more acceptance, happiness and the ability to be more present more often.

A photographer is taking a picture, he has the camera in his hand. But if that camera is moving up and down, he will not be able to take any picture perfectly. That picture will be blurred or it will be spoiled. So in order to take a perfect picture he has to hold that camera completely stationary. In the same way when a person meditating, the mind become the camera and the object becomes the energy of God,the Cosmic Energy,or the universal spirit or universal Energy. So when the mind takes a picture, first of all the mind has to be stationary, it has to be concerned. If the mind is moving up and down there'll be no experience of God and that's what happens to many people. But when the mind becomes stationary, through meditation , through concentration, then the mind is in a position to take picture of that Universal Spirit. So that is why, in order to experience, to get the experience we have to understand that we have to control the mind , make this mind stationary ,which is very important.

You are so right Lawrence. He talks of ideas that I am focusing on... especially the meta-awareness which I find helps a lot. When we are aware of our thoughts we can challenge them... realize that they can be destructive... and are frequently irrational... and most importantly, change them. ... I have found that being kind makes me happy! ... and maybe being kind to others is my purpose...

Amen

prayer is meditation

I suffered from incapacitating anxiety and despondency for months on end. I prayed, my friends prayed, everybody prayed and it didn't do a Goddamn thing.

@@e.cornell3345 You need to define how you prayed, I do not mean what words were in your mind, I mean physically how did you prey ? Because prayer has nothing to do with talking to an imaginary god !(that's actually you talking to yourself) ,that's the Roman slaver's version of how to pray (slavers lie)) . Did you kneel ? bum on your ankles ? for like an hour ? Back held straight, arms held up straight, hands clasped together for an hour ? head tilted back look up all the time for an hour ? , if you did not do ALL of the list mentioned for an hour , then you sir have never prayed ! Many today would really struggle to hold that pose for 5 minutes let alone an hour Give it a try. best outside looking at the Sky ! Words in your head are just like a song playing Just listen to the song and don't judge it, Whilst in this pose Stay here as long as you can, Reach the hour, nothing else is happening

I got really good at doing all those things. And still do. I have a lot of pain and surgeries and it is very hard to distract myself from the pain I do breathing exercises and been a meditater for quite a few years. a few areas. I have lost my passion which was the love and ability to see my grandchildren, this really threw me for a loop I did not see this coming I have mostly detached from it after 18months. My daughter-in-law is a narcissist. I resolved I can still love them and pray that this will will change. I have to get my sparks back. I had things I was passionate about but couldn't follow threw because of my health. I meditate to turn my thoughts off. But it doesn't work on my emotions. Feelings are painful especially grief have to be felt. But for how long? There are 2 opinions 1. They need to be controlled. 2. They need to be felt. 3. That is what I need to know? Meditation works and positivity. I now have a great deal of positivity affirmations and live a comfortable life. So that is not a problem anymore.

But can focus on what is happening in the moment. When I am tired I focus on breath and fall asleep within 5 minutes.Hospitals are noisy light busy places. I felt very traumatised. And full of medication but I need Rd this surgery to walk. And I can walk. But hospitals are not designed for healing. So many people in pain suffering. I am an empath soit was very hard for me. I wanted to heal everyone but I had focus on me. That was 6 weeks ago. The weather is cold. Even though it is Spring. Hopefully it will warm up a bit.

Never mind 2020 and the "stolen election" madness. Wait till we get to 2022 and the MAGA Republicans win back the House. Oh, yeah, we're already there. DAMN! I'VE JUST LOST FAITH IN HALF OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS WHO HANDED THE MAD MAGA GOP CONGRESSIONAL POWER. OUR COUNTRY WILL PAY VERY DEARLY FOR IT.

Preach!!! Big pharma would not like it.

That's so right!

Actually science is now just conforming what has been told by our spiritual gurus a millennium ago.

Sri Ramakrishna paramhans pointed to the need for fusion between science and spirituality. Nilesh Boher and his team has studied major Religion text while working on Quantum physic. Now science is reviling the truth pointed out by Religion.

You're right. Science discovers, Spirit confirms. Beautiful

["8/26/20, Science is at kindergarden level compared to knowledge one can receive from Spirit. No one talks about ones' 15multidimensional consciousness and anatomy. Imagine this either its been held from humanity intentionally or ignorance is bliss. We know its been held intentionally. (Ultimate Warrior)"]

I got emotional reading this because A, I am so heartened to hear of your journey, and B, such resonance with my own! I spent YEARS in such a funk because I believed such painful narratives about myself. Nowadays, after years and years of study and training (and being still such a beginner!), it is not that I do not get into dark places; it is that the light of awareness does wonders. May you be happy and free from suffering!

Jon Archibald, Christian meditation can help

There is no such thing as enlightement who walked this earth that were enlightened.they were all con men

You cant always believe your thoughts tho.

What is the name of the prayer song? ;-)

But you noticed the distraction.. thats a win!

I just had this exact thought almost verbatim while watching the video. Then I see this? Too many unsuspecting coincidences to count today. 🤯

I have meditate for 10 years sometimes for more then 3 hours a day and yes meditation seems to influenced synchronicity with that said you phone pick up a small words and objects you hang around send signal to your phone. That’s is the true power of syncronicity.

I have been emitting lottery winning frequencies but has not worked out very well so far

I agree. Teach it early.

Yes... teach it in all schools at all levels... this is where the money should be spent. Education is less effective in life success when one is unable to be emotionally strong.

I think wandering without awareness is the issue addressed here.

​@@viralpandey1720 "Not all those who wander are lost."

Good point. I think that he meant that while doing a task, if we get constantly distracted, we may not be able to finish the task and get frustrated, which may leads to uncomfortable and undesired feelings. Maybe even get disappointed or think we cannot accomplish something. Have a wonderful day.

Tell me more about the book please?

Mercury, check out DNRS by Annie Hopper. It's a specific program designed help re-wire the brain. Very powerful.

No wonder why Indian Guru's came up with this concept of Meditation & then turned into everyday practices. India is cradle of meditation.

They’re co-dependent on each other, both can affect each other. There are various studies showing long term meditation leading to change in brain structure. You can google it.

@@johnlogan4303 Of course it can, I am not denying a relation ship between the brain and consciousness, I am saying that consciousness is presupposed in anything we know., and the brain does not cause consciousness. All answers are not on google, a deep study of epistemology is needed. And a study of some of the great philosophies of the world especially some of the eastern doctrines.Meditation can affect almost everything in a beneficial way.

Lou Damiani could you point out the time where he says mind and brain are the same?

what is the mind if not the brain's interpretation of the world?

Lou Damiani Then we agree on the same thing. When I say they’re co-dependent, it doesn’t mean or imply one causes the other.

@@Charity-vm4bt Wouldn't you like to see a world defined by wellness? The 'abortion debate' is really a distraction, and is at root a result of inequity. People who choose abortion do so because their environments are inequitable and they cannot find a way to care for the child. They should not be punished by laws making them pariahs or by others who victimize them because their societies are governed by graft fools who have been corrupted by the wealthy. Give people healthy environments and and communities will not be divided by non-issues like contraception (which the world needs right now, btw). If people were not divided by such non-issues they might have a chance in collaborating towards creating an equitable world defined by healthy communities and healthy environments. The 'abortion debate' however is used as a strategy by the powerful, mendacious and wealthy few to beat already dis-empowered people even lower into the ground (and ironically by using other poor people who have experienced trauma themselves to do the beating!) so that the real issues (inequity) remain untouched and as long as religions keep on beating the abortion drum they only really divide society instead of bringing people together to tackle the far more pressing problems we all face. This is only one reason religions have zero credibility for the wise.
