In this lighthearted invitation, spiritual leader Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche shares three steps to help you accept the ebb and flow of your emotions and learn to meditate anytime, anywhere.

Thank you for this! I've always found myself hyper aware of my mental illnesses i.e. agoraphobia, acute anxiety and generalized persistent anxiety, ptsd/trauma and adhd. This brings so much understanding to why my mind does this, I always thought it was my mind trying to cope and now I know why!!

Since i said i wanna do something against my bad thoughts, depressed World, a stranger in my Body, not calculateable happenings in and outside, from horror to horror, anxiety ruled mind, panic by panic, felt lost in my borderless Imagination of hopelessness. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche gave me the courage. Just to sit down and to be with it, to stay friendly and to let it be as it is and now after 2 years. Meditating is a passion for me and these days are history. Now i'm living and loving the here and now. @all stay aware and keep care on oneself cultivate loving kindeness and compassion within and outer your world. 🧘

Not going to lie, I didn't know that pizza and meditation could go together. Life changing. Your eloquent rendering of meditation as a simple act of being present - seeing, hearing, feeling - is as refreshing as it is profound. It reminds us that the essence of meditation is not to silence the mind, but rather to tune in to the orchestra of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, without trying to conduct or control them. I particularly resonate with your analogy of awareness being like the sky, ever-present and unchanging, while our thoughts and emotions are like transient storms. It echoes what I often discuss on my channel about the benefits of daily mindfulness, the practice of deliberately paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgement. Just as you said, it's not about stopping our thoughts or achieving a state of eternal bliss, but about recognizing and accepting our mental states as they are.

@@uncomfortabletruths7990 - Right from Veda to Upanishad’s and Gita it has been mentioned that self is pure awareness bliss. You are not mind your are not body you are not emotions but pure awareness or complete state of witness. It is due to maya or error or lack of awareness this realization is missing. But with this practice e played at the end you are trying to be experiencing the state of witnessing. Now with more such practice the intellectual enlightenment transformed to experiential enlightenment changing the entire life. Yogis remain in full bliss state and gains power to deal with any situation no matter it is inhuman.

I went on a ten-day meditation retreat taught by this guy. Good stuff! But then I went on a retreat taught by a westerner on the topic of :open Awareness" (which I did not know until just now was a Tibetan practice. It has been my experience that when Tibetans teach Tibetan Buddhism, it sounds very grounded and sensible, like this guy. But when westerners try to teach it, it sounds totally out there. This retriet was no exception. They kept saying "Sit but don't focus on any one thing" or "go outside and walk slowly back and forth, but don't be focused when you do it." This, of course, was the opposite of everything else3 I had been taught. Well, I don't know if this was their intention, and I don't think it was, but my mind rebelled by giving me strong, focused meditations. If they had told me to have strong, focused meditations, I probably would not have had so many of them.
