The greatest lie your brain will tell you is that you "don't have time". The secret it to recognise this 'excuse' as a lie, and use it as a trigger instead to go and do your practise. After a few days and weeks it will get easier and easier and you'll gain improvements for years to come. To help make Meditation a habit, we built a Visualization App that includes Meditation Audios. Download it here - 'Manifestie' manifestie.app.link/soll. - Once you've installed it, navigate to the 'Meditate' section. - Practise the 'Mindspo Method 22min' Audio each morning (this is what i've done consistently for 10+ years with great results) Make this audio your mental health exercise routine. 22 Minutes in the morning, and twice a day if you're sick, going through turmoil, or just feel like pushing it. You'll highly likely experience - Less Anxiety, less stress, better sleep, more focus, better memory, improved mood, lower blood pressure, increased intuition + more. Install the app, give it some consistent effort and i'd love to hear about your journey below this comment, especially once you're past the 30 Day mark. Leave some positive breadcrumbs for other viewers who are yet to start their meditation journey. And a last word of advice, drop the attachment to a 'perfect' streak. If you fall of the horse, just get back on. The only moment is now, and you can close your eyes and calm down anytime, anywhere. Much love! Soll @chrissoll on insta

I am suffering from massive amounts of grief. My husband passed away almost a year ago now. No peace. I tried this for the first time today. Almost immediately tears just poured out, barely controllable. But after a few minutes the tears went and some peaceful feelings began to come through. I think this might help me❤️

Meditation starts at 23:10 for those who would like to skip the preamble because he sums it up right as meditation begins.

I was in the darkest place riddled with anxiety when I found your video. I was reaching hopelessly out to try and find anything that could help. I felt I would lose my mind that night. Then I stumbled across this. That was something like 5 days ago. Since then I use this and some of your other meditations daily. No joke, my life feels transformed. My anxiety is almost completely gone, it's a miracle. I will never be able to repay you for this except to say THANK YOU. I believe you may have saved my life. God bless.

I put myself on a 90-day meditation challenge. Today is number 39. I'm exploring different meditation techniques that I vibe with. This really gave me a peaceful, easy feeling. Grateful I found you. Thank you

I struggled physically. I was flooded by memories of past trauma. My reaction was so extreme, I threw up a couple of times. I managed to regain control and finished the entire fifteen minutes. I feel relieved and with renewed energy. Wow.

I am suffering a long term anxiety/depression which has slowly brought me to my knees over the last nine months. I have resisted medication and therapy thinking I could devise my own solutions. I realise now that my attempts to distract myself from the issues are futile and have only slowed the progress. This meditation practice has given me a new direction and new hope. Thank you.

Sending high frequency, healing energy to all of you amazing human beings 🙏🏻✨Do not give up, you've got this!! I forgot where I heard this phrase- "If you're going through hell, why are you stopping?" KEEP PUSHING THROUGH IT! 💪🏻🦋

Did this.. beginning I was a 7/10 for stress.. after the end, 3/10. Happy with result. This opens room for proper manifestation. Hope you all achieve same or better results. Namaste 🙏

Really most effective way to relax and meditate. I have been meditating for 4 years and this is the fastest way to get into the mode of cleansing your mind of chatter.

Holy cow that was amazing. You were right, this feels like 2 minutes I was zapped and shocked when it was finished I thought we were still just starting. I immediately cried after that was amazing. I’ve never been successful meditating before but playing the sound in my head and coming back to it was incredible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I've been meditating regularly for a month and have noticed the benefits. I'm not bothered by things that used to bother me. My anxiety has drastically decreased. I'm not obsessed over things that I want. In fact, I'm feeling so much more content over what I have already. I had been doing it cross-legged because I thought you had to do it that way, but then I focus on how uncomfortable I am and my feet go numb. Thank you for letting us know that we can sit anyway we need to be comfortable. This is really going to improve my meditations.

This might be the best meditation I’ve ever done…. I have tried so many…this simplified it to where my kids and I can all do this thank you 🙏🏾 so much!!!

It’s my first time doing this meditation. Im feeling lonely a lot lately and it hurts. It feels that there is no remedy sometimes. I do have an active life yet being retired I am alone most days. I have meditated in the past and it always helps. This one is wonderful. I like that it is not guided and focuses on quieting my mind. I feel refreshed and ready for my days events. A softball game and a music circle jam. I play guitar. However it’s almost two o’clock and like many days lately I am in able to get motivated. I’m thankful for meditation and this one specifically. Thankyou!

I’ve been meditating for some time and I’m now exploring different types of meditation and I actually had a vision (first time that happened) during this meditation! Ty

This was my first meditation with you, It was the best I had and I feel so relaxed. Thank you and I'm so grateful to you.

When I started I had a real bad headache about a 8 then when you spoke scared me and now I am about a 3 and a better calm. Will be doing this again thank you.

I meditated for 15 mins and yes my mind tried to tell me I didnt have time. I got through it and for the 1st time in a while my mind is not hoping all over the place. I feel so at ease. From 10 to 1 wow ❤ Thank you.

I’ve enjoyed this more than I can put into words. This came at me in at a very devastating,tying time in my life where anxiety, depression and stress has led me to hospital stays and medications. The meditation helped in ways I’ve never felt before. Thank-you

I am just now discovering meditation. Sometimes I do the sounds in my head, and sometimes I will breathe in and out various (Christian) Names of God. Has become very worship for me.

Hi everyone, i was at a 6 before the start of the meditation and after i finished it at a 4. i felt like the 15 minutes went pretty quickly. This was one of my early attempts of meditation as i have tried different meditations at different times. i really connected with the direction given to me and how it was communicated. During the meditation i had naturally stopped saying the sounds and when i noticed i was having a thought i pictured the out breathe as a slippery slide going down and i would put the thought on the slide until i no longer had the thought. I then put the thought that i recognised i just had a thought also onto the slide until i was just noticing my breathe. This was amazing.

I started doing this meditation about 5 days ago. I've been doing it everyday and I've been feeling noticeably and consistently more relaxed and more at ease after the meditation. I've been trying to meditate for a couple years and have had a hard time with it until I discovered this meditation with the mantra. I'm now totally committed to it everyday and I am feeling the benefits. Thank you!

I've been practicing meditation for over a year, however, I really like this mantra approach. I've always concentrated on my breathing mostly but this gave me tremendous relaxation by the end. I started to see bursts of light, like star bursts which was extra soothing. I'm downloading the app and will follow from now on. Thank you so much for the insight and practical instruction. Love and light to all...

I thought I would make a comment before I watch the vid so I'm not biased. I am 66 and have been doing this for 19 years now. I feel into it by what I would call a divine appointment. I never studied it but was guided by the spirit of God to proceed. It started out by sitting in my chair and closing my eyes, blocking out any light with a bandana and putting headphones over my ears to blot out the noise. At first it was very uncomfortable and all I could do was think about everything I forgot to do or wanted to do. I could not stop my thoughts from racing thru my mind. This subsided after about 3 months to where I could literally empty my mind by just allowing thoughts to go in and out freely until they just ceased to exist. That was step one. The next thing that happened to me after about 4 months was I had a OOBE. I was sitting in my chair when suddenly I had a vision. I was traveling up into the atmosphere as if I was in a rocket ship. I could see the earth leaving me then I went up into the stratosphere and into the troposphere passed the moon when suddenly I was surrounded by stars and planets. I freaked out. Suddenly I began to fall very rapidly going probably hundreds of miles an hour and Bamm! I slammed into the chair I was sitting in so hard that I jerked the chair into the drywall behind me and put a huge dent in the wall with the corner of the chair. I came out of that and all I could say was OMG! What just happened. I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. That was the only time that happened. After a few more months of meditation I began having visions of colored lights and swirling patterns. I would see all kinds of numbers and symbols and who knows what else. Much of it was nothing I had ever seen on this earth and suddenly I realized I was tapping into another dimension,. Then a few years went by and I stated having encounters with angels. At first I did not know what I was seeing but after a lot of study and hours and hours of prayer I finally realized that I was having some very deep spiritual encounters with heavenly beings and angels. I have had encounters with Metatron and Michael which are two of the archangels. These encounters would always bring me an incredible level of wisdom and revelation. Some things which I cannot even speak about. One night I woke up at 3 am and just as I began to fall back asleep I was sudden struck with a white light that was so bright it was as if I was staring into an airplane landing light from only inches away. My body began to contort and jerk and it felt like I got plugged into a 20,000 volt electrical socket. It seemed to have lasted for maybe 10 seconds when suddenly it stopped and I felt the most intense feeling of love and ecstasy that you could ever experience. Months later I finally came to realize I had an throne room encounter in the 3rd heaven. All of this has changed my life forever and I am not the same person I was when I started. It is awesome to say the least. Out of it came writings of over 30,000 pages of poetry and 4 books of which I have yet to publish. So who is ever reading this you must know that the road to mastery is a long and arduous one and much patience and trust will be required, My experience I am sure will be much different than most people because previous to all of this I spent years in prayer asking God to show me the truth about life. Friends its not what you think it is and this world we live in is broken and lost. YOU and I have gifts and callings in our spirits that we know not of and it is your journey on this earth to find out who God created you to be. SELAH... P>S> I put in many years of reading and study also of many disciplines and a lot of work into neuroscience and quantum physics. Note: I graduated high school with a C average and worked a construction job all my life so I'm no genius of any kind what so ever. I have an IQ of 118 If that ever means anything. If I can do it you probably can to. Good luck on your journey to finding your supernatural self. LOL hahaha

Doing this meditation makes me feel 35% more calm. Quite often, I neglect my meditation practice and sure enough, I notice that I'm more stressed and irritable. I always come back to this simple mediation and find it useful every single time. Absolutely love the music in the background too. I usually find music really annoying but this track was absolutely perfect.

I was attuned to Reiki 1 after my Dad passed. I now live with my daughter & her family. My quiet is at night for meditation. Thank you.

Started with 7 ended with 4. Your instructions and words of encouragement are priceless 🙏

Started out at a level 8. Ending at a level 4 🙏 Maintaining my breathe & Mantra w/the music. Initially unable to breathe in and out w/the length of the music. So I held my breathe at the inhale and released as the music went into the exhale sound. Also having to hold breathe prior to the following inhale. Through the progression of this medication I noticed my breathe was stronger. No longer holding breathe at the exhale, and the inhale holding of the breathe, was extremely shortened. Having then noticed my breathe work/breathing was becoming stronger at both initiation & completion. I held the music, breathe work on the left side of my head. Any mental thoughts arriving came from the right, back side of my head/mind. Yet never as consistent, not screaming for me to go down the rabbit hole, thus entering my monkey mind. As you mentioned, I simply took those mental thoughts, they were not overwhelming to my surprise, and shifted them to my left side, and they dissolved 🙏 ☺️ Question: Was my mental awareness on the breathe, then the holding of, to then noticing my breathe was improving in length & strength … Too Much Mental Outside Awareness (?) Or Was I assisting in a pattern of positivity(?) 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😅an answer I am presently unable to comprehend. Please 🙏 Advise…if able. ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou for providing one of 😢 least complicated of “must dos” in order to feel the progression of my body mind & soul relaxing, the lessening of anxiety & stress that my life is currently (always) involved in. ❤ I have been mediating within different modalities, for lack of a better explanation, since 2000 - and have had thoughts of not finding 😮 my niche. 1st time through this…. It was totally unique it worked as I came down 4 levels of anxiety/stress, Those MassiveEgoicMental Thoughts Did NOT override my ability to continue Calmly Comfortably Causally receiving such a level of continuity never perceived previously ❤ With Much Gratitude and Appreciation Judith ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to do meditation for a while but get discouraged feeling what I do isnt the correct way. You have simplified everything about meditation for beginners. This was really good. After this meditation I found myself moving and thinking slower. Reading comments I find that I focus more on what is being shared by others. Thank you again!!!

i chose to use IN and OUT because it was easier and i also visualized my monkey mind sitting in front of me also meditating. this is the best video i've seen and used that worked. i got close to falling asleep but remained aware and awake. i'm so grateful i finally found this. after - i felt like i had taken a 2 hour nap, my body was relaxed and my mind wasn't as.....um...monkey! thank you. i'll continue now because now i know how to do it properly.

thank you soo much Chris i am 80 years old and have been severely bi polar since age 16. i have accomplished a lot in my life because i am tenacious.i have been married for 50 years now even though i have been hospitalized 6 times from hallucinations. i am recently retired from my hair stylist job also about 50 years. we have moved to an isolated area . for the first time in my life i am without friends near by. we connect only by phone now. i struggle every day to keep a positive mind. constantly struggling to be happy frightens me. i listened to your video twice back to back because i found comfort immediately!please let me know how i can support your channel with a monthly donation. i am going to meditate at least once a day!

MANTARA!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Dramatic music plays"

Thank you Chris. I've always "given up" on meditation - mind too chatty, dogs barking, some excuse. In following a guided meditation the guides voice kept interrupting me so I'd just stop and give up. I'm 78, a young 78 but an amputee. I don't feel stress, sailed through my operation on an epidural, got the giggles during it because it sounded like the gardner cutting a branch off a tree😂. I don't feel "stressed" but find people around me discuss such boring, mundane things so keep to myself mostly because I've never felt lonely or alone, even after my husband transitioned 5 years ago. I miss that companionship after 53 years of marriage! I'm going to practice and will download your app. Excuses excuses - no more procrastinating. Gonna do this sitting up like i did just now. I guess practice makes perfect🤷‍♀️. Thanks again ❤

I have been meditating for about 5 to 6 yrs cant tell exactly as its a process which keeps getting better and yes its totally life changing! And you have such a sweet way of explaining it! ❤

I started at a 9This is my first try at meditation. I felt like I was in a dream state. I even teared up it seemed my mind was telling me this TX is so over due.❤ Ended at a 3❤

Have to say I'm a very busy and sprayed person in the now. I was about 7 before after 3. This is the most informative and soothing meditation I've ever tried. You're an amazing person for this video. Bless you brother and everyone reading this. Meditation is key I mean what is it gonna hurt to get away from this crazy world we live in

I was stressed at 8 now I'm 0, I calmed the mind body, and felt uneasy now I feel creative, and grateful. Love calm.

Fabulous video all round. Just perfect for beginners. The intro is insightful and funny. Love the analogies. Especially the puppy one. Love your calming voice, soft background lighting is perfect and the sound behind the meditation is so calming. Just heading to your App now. Big new fan. Thanks Chris ❤🙏

Historical day for me! Finally I meditate and understand the value of it for the first time ❤

I suddenly felt the opportunity to leave behind the sadness I was born with, I'm 69 years old next week, so could be possible now to be happy. Thank you, xx

I have tried to meditate so many times and I couldn’t, it never worked, I have never been able to calm my mind until now. I was at a 8 starting out and honestly a 0 afterwards. I have never felt this relaxed in my adult life. While I was listening to you and breathing I first saw a beautiful cardinal then I was at my grandmothers screen door. I could hear her, I could feel her hug, I could feel her love. I don’t even know how that happened and I don’t know if I would believe it if I read this but this is the truth. As I was breathing in and out I was in her house tears were streaming down my face. I have never felt so calm as I do right now. This was by far one of the best gifts I’ve ever received, thank you.

Whenever I concentrate on my breath I find I start to control it.

Thank you so much, Chris! What a blessing to come across your video. Before I started I was at a solid 6 with my stress level and as I opened my eyes I immediately dropped to a 3 and felt the difference. This was truly what I needed along my journey and I will continue to follow your guide. Thanks again!

My feet to my knees started to tingle. I felt relaxed with tears

This exercise has worked the best in recent time because I have annoying tinnitus behind the right ear area. I also have RLS (restless leg syndrome) intermittently. Drinking tonic water helps so I got up and drank some. I used to meditate a lot -in my youth (I'm 72), got out of the habit, and want to go back to it. Up comes the nerve neuroses. crickets singing helps me get to sleep because the tinnitus blends in. I also keep tonic water near the bed. So tomorrow I will play the crickets low and hav a drink of tonic water and do it again. But I was able to rise above the attention deficit mind babble for a while. My pre meditation stress was 3-4/10. For a while it went to 2/10. Now I have to figure out how to save your podcast. THANKS.

I started at a 10. I’ve tried many many meditation sessions and none of them have been successful. I can honestly say I was able to connect and felt completely relaxed. My level right now is probably a 5. I’ll take it! Thank you so much! Now I just need to learn how to stay at 5 or below. 😊

How to meditate: 10:40. How to sit: 20:07.

Thank you Mindspo for this lovely meditation. meditation starts at 23:15.

I realized how busy my mind is. The mantra def is a way to bring me back to nothing. But I found it amazing how many random thoughts my brain has!

I do this every day and I go from a stress level of 10 down to just 1 and I feel great thank you so much.

Thank you for becoming the person that can gift the world this much needed tool. And thank you for this gift❤. Btw, my stress level went from 7-2! That’s incredible.

Holy smoke... It actually worked. I'm 62 and was never able to do this. I was seeing a kaleidoscope of colors like Galaxy figures. 15 mins felt like 2.

I started crying during this meditation session. I’m feeling relaxed and realized how my actions in the past have hurt not only myself but the people closest to me and why I did what I did. Forgiving myself has been a struggle but I feel more at peace and asking for forgiveness and love for myself. ❤ thank you for this time to reflect 😊 went from a 7 to a 3.

My councillor suggested I start doing this and like you said I'm always not making time to try , but I've done it this morning and I actually felt the tension leaving my shoulders, thank you ❤️

I’m so grateful I found you. This was the best and easiest introduction to meditation I have ever done. I do feel so much better and less stressed. I’m going to continue doing this. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

Because of PTSD and realizing I’ve been living under a very abusive person, I though it destroyed me and I’ve been at a 10/10 for every feeling imaginable even if nothing was actually wrong and for the first time in years I feel like I can breathe and that I’m actually going to make it. After this I felt more like a 7/10 which may not seem like much to anyone else but just that tiny bit of relief is helping me take my next baby step. I can’t thank you enough for passing this along. Keep doing what you’re doing because this is helping to save my life. Thank You ❤ 🤗 🙏🏼

7 before. 3 after. Very glad I found this. With my palms up I almost felt a weight on them. As if my thought were on them.

Awesome. My tension reduced from 8 over 10 to 2 out of 10. I was sited on my office chair and at times i feld like the chair was literally going round and the voice was right above my brain and not my ears any more. What an awesome feeling and mind relaxing practice. Thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

This meditation changed my life

In the middle of my meditation, I experienced a huge shift of energy, and then I started coughing from the deep back of my throat. I was getting bummed about that, but then it occurred to me: I had experienced a vagus nerve release! So good! I love to meditate, and I love using So hum with the breath. I am That. THAT, I am. 💓

Just woke up, so a 3. I am not going out in public, haven’t thought about what I need to accomplish today. Sipping coffee, in my warm bed. It amps up over the day.

I really appreciate this video. I started at a level 4 maybe and after the meditation session I could definitely say I was at a 2ish. It's my first time but I definitely look forward to more sessions. Especially because I'm almost 5 months pregnant and anxiety sometimes take over. Thee stress of shopping for the baby and being a mom to my other children and a wife to my husband takes its toll on me

found it a bit hard to ignore all of my random thoughts, I do however feel so much more relaxed. I feel like I’ve zoned out for a few minutes. I think my stress level was around 3 before because of admin I have to deal with at work on Monday but after your meditation I really do honestly feel like it’s now 0 or maybe slightly 1 but nearly 1. thank you so much for guiding me through this. Time really did go slowly

I listened to this while I was doing door dash today and I didn't have any road rage. I love it

Thankyou I cried when you talked about the voice in your head I never thought I could meditate but I reached a point in my life where I am tried of the voice in my head. ITS TIME FOR ME TO TALK AND THE VOICE TO LISTEN. thank you thank you🙏

This was an amazing session. A whole new experience for me for sure. I started at a stress level 5 and now I'm a level 0, wondering and contemplating it at the same time what just happend. Thank you very much for this. This is for sure a new start for me ❤

It’s hard to start ignoring my random thoughts but it’s helps a lot. I just ended a rebound relationship and I was the rebound girl. It feels heavy coz I was emotionally attached. Have many thoughts running in my head. This helps me a lot calming my mind .

It's so nice to hear you say every one is doing these things because I thought I was the only one and there was something wrong with me.

went from about 6.5 to about 5, more importantly, realized how kind of 'broken' I am and how I tend to not like myself, it was a good start I guess, thank you

Meditation starts @ 22:44🧘

Started at a 10. And despite an outside interruption, (outside noise) i still feel a 5 now. Wow thank you!

Thank you….❤

My level of stress.. work, mom of 5, dv relationship.. im leaving.. im almost ready to sign myself in to a hospital for relief.. this new year, i said its about me.. 1/1/24.. here we go! This is a start ❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏 I think this just saved me. I have been struggling so bad with anxiety and insomnia. I can't describe how peaceful I felt afterward. Your breakdown of why first and the meditation itself= phenomenal. I have always avoided trying meditation. I got frustrated with trying it. You made this seem easy.

I was meditating alot and then stopped. I have a chemical imbalance when i was meditating life was 💯 better. I started back my practice with this video. I started at a 10 and came down to 7. For me its best to do it in the morning and at night or whenever u need to destress from this crazy planet we live on. Namaste.

WOW I was at 7-8 and now I'm at 3 or 4 after this meditation. Way better.

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for creating this meditation-tutorial 🤗 Before doing the meditation my stress level felt like a solid 8 - and now, after the meditation I feel like a 6. Somehow it feels as if my mind/thoughts are not yelling anymore, but more of a whisper 👀♥️

Hi ! Thanks a lots! I promised I do it all the time all day !! 😍🙏

Thank you! I was a 8 and now I’m a 7.⭐️🙏😇🌟❤️

I have been doing meditation lying down for many years This is the first time I am doing meditation sitting down The plus point it helps me to have a better posture for 15 minutes

Thank you for this video... I started feeling like a 7 then afterwards I felt like a 3... I noticed that at some point I was able to hear my heart beat... My sound box started to sync with my heart rhythm. I love this technique and now understand that I am not trying to turn off my mind, but I am managing my thoughts .... Blessings to you sir ✨✨

My stress level has at 8 and at the end I was at 0. I do meditation but this is by far the most effective! Btw I subscribed. Thank you for sharing/ teaching the world all this! 🙏

Thank you so much, Chris. Great video and meditation. Valuable tips !

at the beginning i had 5/10 and now i feel 3/10. after i opened my eyes i felt like i was dreaming but i haven`t and it's incredible

Thank You!!! I am new to meditation and I love this video. I've downloaded the app and plan on practicing meditation daily. Just these few minutes have made me feel much calmer.

The moments when you can feel the calmness between the heartbeats, those brief moments when your breath has stopped and there is no beat happening are really cool. I have started to enjoy those moments of absolute stillness.

My level of stress was 8/10 afterwards dropped to 5/10. I tend to be a perfectionist so "doing something properly" becomes a stress in itself !

I am came to me, we are part of this universe ✨️

Thank you!! So thankful the universe lead me to your video! Exactly what I needed. Stress level was a 10 at beginning now feels like a 6! I’m blown away honestly didn’t think that was possible especially for first timer! You’re my mind[life] savior! Grateful for you. 🙏✨💓🌻

Wow this was amazing! I honestly felt myself drifting into a deep sleep❤ thank you for sharing. I was about a 6 and I feel so very relaxed.

Went from a 7 to about a 3. I am currently suffering with huge anxiety around change, I’m moving schools, and always get the feeling of dread and anxiety when I have a big change in my life. I have never had control over my feelings and this gave me some control, and it felt good. When you can separate the anxiety from the situation it’s not as scary, thank you.

I was at 1.. now I'm at 0 stress :) so, thank you

This was a wonderful meditation , and easy to do, too. Towards the end I felt my vibe raise. I wasn’t particularly stressed from the beginning, but now I feel so peaceful and happy. I even started smiling at the end. Thank you for this. 🙏🏻❤️ I’ll try to implement it in my morning routine.

I just started meditating,,, it is so amazing! During the meditation my eyes tear up. I can not believe the end results,,, ie calmness! Thank you, Chris

My stress level was literally at an eight for many different reasons and now I'm so relieved and I'm actually smiling for the first time in days... wtf was that and why am I just finding out about it this must be a part of my life for the rest of my life

Began meditating in 2004. I also had a temper. It dropped away slowly over these years. I went through classic Buddhist purifications, the anger is gone entirely, as long as I don't use stimulants such as caffeine or provigil/modafinil. As long as I don't jack my system up with those things, the reactivity is gone. When I began meditating, I *never* thought what has happened to me would happen. Most of the anger I had towards certain people, has been processed out. A large percentage of the hurt, the woundedness and other internal stuff has been released. It was interesting how these things happened without any action on my part, other than just sitting to meditate. Research has been done with long term meditators. What they've found is that something significant happens around the 45 minute mark. So everything that is done after that point, is the deepest, most effective part of sitting/meditating. The worst thing anyone can do when meditating, is to have goals for meditating. DON'T DO THAT. Just meditate, and make sure to not ever set any goals or expectations for what you think will come from doing it. Just meditate for the sake of learning to sit and be quiet, and nothing else. Don't even expect to be calmer, or relaxed. Just do it, and whatever happens, happens.

Thank you for reaching out to all of us and for everything that is responsible for creating beings such as yourself. Was a little distracted by the glasses😆, but my desire to improve my being encouraged me to listen and glad I did. Your gentle, authentic voice/demeanor and positivity is what reaches my soul and am thankful and in search of that. I look forward to the benefits you speak of. Will let you know. Bless you and thank you 😊

I'm learning! I have covid right now so I'm having difficulty breathing, but I feel so much better. This is something I'll continue to practice. Thank you

This was amazing !!! My mind is so calm. I was at a 7 stress, now I am at a 2! Thank you for this !!!

I went through this four times this morning and finally I saw a thin tree with no leaves and some frost and snow and suddenly a branch broke free....I think that was me breaking free. I so want to feel safe.
