the balloons are a really good method to distance yourself from your thoughts. I found it really helpful!

These videos are helping me over come my addiction to alcohol. Any time I get a craving I listen to one of these and by the time it's over the craving is gone and I am calm and relaxed. This is so helpful! Thank you!

The balloon trick amazed me guys , whenever i do meditation the intrusive thoughts were not in my control ,but in this balloon way they went out , i am in tears right now , i wanna thank you from bottom of my heart , i wish you a achieve a lot of success and happiness in your life 🙂

“ they don’t control you, you have control over them” that’s the source of my hope

Thank you so much... I'm a 17 year old guy that goes to a school full of caring people but I still cannot help but feel judged all the time... I've been really suffering and my mind has been on full throttle for too long, I always feel like everything is too much for me. I use youtube as a remedy. I watch my favorite youtubers and they make me laugh and smile more than I do with my friends in real life. No matter who i'm with, i feel so... different, I feel so boring and it has destroyed my confidence in any thing I do. My family can't afford to get me a therapist or anything of the sort. These videos, though i just found them today, have helped me so much already. Thank you from the bottom, sides, middle, and top of my heart.

I started reading the comments (which is usually a mistake on youtube videos) and just wanted to point out what lovely humans the people who have commented are :)

I listen to this every morning! It's part of my morning 'routine' to help me maximize my day. I've found that using a combination of mindfulness meditation, practicing gratitude, and a cold shower in the morning helps me slow down my mental chatter and keeps me focused on the day. Thank you for uploading!

Mindfulness is the key to our inner peace and internal happiness. If you're reading this I believe you're in the right place and you can achieve this. Sending you Peace and Love 💖🙏🏼💖

Thank you, it's 4am and I'm very ill and cannot sleep, this helped me release all my stress of exams and bad thoughts. I really appreciate the work gone into this to help others.

Has anyone else felt like that was the quickest 10 minutes of their lives?

How the heck did a 10 minute meditation feel like 30 seconds!!! That was my first time seriously trying to meditate.... that felt so good! Felt connected

This meditation temporarily cured my depression, anxiety, PTSD. The first I did it, I passed out from relief. When I woke up, I felt refreshed, relaxed, in a blissful state. I listen to this at least once a week. It has helped me tremendously. Thank you!

Does anyone notice that his voice is soo calm?!

so im have never done any sort of meditation before and can't sit longer than 2 minutes without being bored. i did the full 9 minutes and oh my gosh. i totally just zoned out. i did not feel it was 10 minutes at all and didnt want to open my eyes. when i did, i was literally floating. feel so light. definately need to do this daily

i cried the first time i did this meditation, i've been having a hard time controlling my thoughts. i hope this helps me

We're in the middle of the covid 19 pandemic right now and my anxiety level is giving me even more anxiety. I needed this.

This 10 minutes has been the most peaceful 10 minutes I’ve experienced in months. Thank you.

His voice is so relaxing i almost slept.

Been years but this one still my most favorite meditation video on KZfaq ❤

Its great to see how the ancient wisdom of INDIA (yoga and meditation) is being adapted all over the world!

Anyone else has anxiety problems and have lot negative thoughts that scare him and make his heart feel ready to blow.

I read 10 pages of kobe's book and he said if your body feels like meditating, meditate... so I'm here now cuz I would love to be one of the greats one day. RIP Kobe Bryant and everyone who was on board...

This guide has been helping me to keep my anxiety and panic attacks under control. I cannot thank you enough for that! ❤😌🙏

Wishing everyone reading this comment ALL THE VERY BEST in doing the BIGGEST and quite frankly TOUGHEST CLEAN UP to be done in your entire life - Cleaning the GARBAGE inside our mind and making it CALM, SERENE and full of POSITIVITY and GROWTH. Let’s get this done together.

At first when I heard about mindfulness I honestly thought it was a load of rubbish but once I was shown it from my first experience It genuinely took so much of my stress away. I'm a 17 year old student really struggling with the stress and anxiety of school at the moment, I felt like I was stuck and had no way of reliving this stress that was seriously affecting me. These guided meditation videos have helped me so much, stress is so underrated in young adults and teenagers, depression and self harm numbers are rising year on year. If mindfulness was taught in schools and collages I believe it would really benefit a lot of young people with the stresses that they are faced with today. There's not enough help out there for teenagers such as myself and this is why they become quickly sucked into the depression hole with no way of knowing how to get back out. So I want to thank the people who make these videos because I'm sure they're really benefitting a lot of people just like me.

I have listened to a lot of 10 minute meditations and this one is the best! A good balance between voice guidance and silence. Plus his voice, it's so calming!

When I imagine my thoughts as color baloons and let them go driven away by the wind to the sky... I cannot control myself and tears begin to flow down...

I just did this meditation thing for the first time with this video, I cried. I have a lot of mental chatter going on right now and I think I have to add some meditation to my daily life. Everything is going to be okay. I can handle this. Thank you.

This video gave me one of the best meditative experiences I ever had. Thank you!

6 years later of daily meditation practice - this was the video that started it all. Thank you so much for this - for anyone on this path - these videos are amazing for an introduction until you are ready to do it without any guidance and just with yourself.

Cat jumped on me in the middle of this. Scared me half to death XD She's purring now, this is what it feels like to be mindful

April 11, 2020 Saturday Morning 10:10 AM I'm feeling a lot more in control of my actions, thoughts, and feelings. I'm starting to have positive automatic responses. I want to be kinder to my body. I want to be healthier. I want to be able to use my body to it's limit. Sending love and positivity

I listened to this two years ago for my first ever meditation when I was battling crazy panic disorder/OCD thoughts at 20. After months of constant listening and practice I found peace within myself and it is all thanks to your meditation ! Though I kind of lost my way the past month again and i'm back in the deep end of anxiety. So I just recently remembered that I found comfort in this video, It's a very hard journey indeed but reading the comments and taking in the comfort from this video I know it's something I can handle. So thank you so much Honest Guys, you inspire me to create positive change in this world and you should be proud that you help millions people.

I was so relaxed and focused in the last sentence you've told that I took a scare, it's as if I had repende being brought to this world again, after making a trip to a place far away in space and time.

This didn’t even feel like 10 minutes it felt like 5 min I was like wait .. that’s it ?? Haha it was very calming 🥺

I have been a Paramedic for 9 years and have personally struggled with Anxiety. This video has revolutionised my life and the way I view things. A long with some research around mindfulness and other videos. I share this video and channel with my patients who are suffering from anxiety and depression. I do everything I can to spread the message about Mindfulness and its many health benefits. Thank you.

This helped so much. I'm glad for the pauses you leave, and then that you came back in to tell us we can return to life whenever, but are welcome back at any time. It made me feel like I wasn't alone in this. Your channel is wonderful.

Some interesting thoughts I'd like to share... My Experience with Meditation Mindfulness meditation is great tool you can use to help clear your mind from the myriad sea of thoughts that randomly pop in and out of existence in your head which prevent you from seeing the world for what it really is. Just started taking it seriously and played around with it recently and wow, it truly is such an amazing feeling when you transition in and out of that meditative state. Coming out of it, you become more fully aware of your surroundings. You're no longer lost in thought (at least for a while, depending on how effective your meditation is) and you become more focused with whatever you're doing. There's just this burst of excitement after you come out of it and you're just fascinated by everything around you. It's like you've been born back into this world again. Coming out of mediation feels great and improves your perception of reality, but that's only one part of the experience. When you successfully enter the meditative state is where things start getting interesting. The state of nothingness- no thought or feeling at all, IS the meditative state. Letting go of your thoughts and being a thoughtless poo is a bit hard and tedious at first (for those that are so used to constantly thinking/worrying all the time), but over time, with practice, you'll get better at releasing your mind from your thoughts and eventually enter that state of nothingness faster*Maybe the longer you remain in that state, the higher the form of consciousness/view of reality you will come back with?*. Your thoughts of what other people think of you, your anxieties, your worries; all the bullshit you're thinking that's preventing you from actually doing the things that you want to do- everything just shuts off and you enter this new state of existence that's separate from both your mind and your body... A little taste of nirvanna It's such a euphoric, blissful state to be in. Some call it Jesus, nature, god, your higher self, whatever that thing is; you start feeling this strong, deep connection to something that's greater than you (at least from my experience) Transitioning back into the world from that state is even more bizarre, haha. It's like you've just came out of your mother's womb, or you've awaken from this really deep hypersleep. You're basically brought back into this world with a refreshed state of mind and you start becoming more focused and aware of this game we're all participating in. You're all like, wow, I just came out of that nothingness, and here I am now. Maybe that's what these luminaries: Tesla, Einstein, Newton, Mozart, the Buddha, etc- have gone through. Maybe it's this realization and intense concentration on reality that allowed them to play the game more efficiently and/or produce such great works? Gah, here I go again lost in thought, spouting out this mindless brabble like some kind of crazed lunatic again... I guess it's about time I enter that state again; I really need to get that firm, fully focused grip on reality. Definitely need to do a vlog on this sometime in the future

"you are not controlled by your thoughts. you can acknowledge that they are simply that: thoughts. they proceed from you, but they do not own you. you control them." helps me every single time

When he said the thing about listening to your heart beat it was like a switch and my thoughts were gone. My whole body relaxed and I was suddenly fully present. This was amazing, thank you!

This is my go to guided meditation whenever I need a quick pick me up. It always does the job! Thanks honest guys!

I'd like to have a version with no sound effects on the background. The voice alone is very soothing. I think it would be a more powerful experience.

I wish everyone would be more open to meditation..it’s so beneficial. This was the most calm I’ve felt in weeks! I need to get back into meditation for sure.

The music in this is so wonderful. The whole thing has helped me calm my overactive mind. I look forward to dropping in to this magical world. Thanks

This is my favorite mindfulness meditation I've found anywhere.

I love this so much. I do it every day. thank you

Been Suffering with Anxiety issues since i was a very young boy, now 42 years old, and without KZfaq and these videos, i'd be so anxious all the time, i couldn't probably even function that well. Thanks so much for having these available

Fastest 10 minutes of my morning! This meditation is a pleasant experience and the only one I've found that relaxes me in the morning. ♥️

This place is so beautiful. The birds living here must be really happy.

I'm doing meditation for few weeks and I felt big change in me

Didn’t even realize the video was over till an ad started playing and made me jump lol

i don’t know why, but after this meditation session, i cried a little. i guess it was just relief or something cause i found this very helpful.

This was my first time trying meditation and I straight up cried letting go of my balloons... that was powerful. Much thanks to you lovely blokes. I will be doing this regularly as a spiritual purge.

That was nice. I feel like I woke up from a really great nap, and this time I wasn't plagued by constant, disruptive yawning like I normally am when trying to meditate.

I opened my eyes with tears upon tears rolling down my cheeks.having lost my dearest loveliest mum to cancer last year I've been unable to overcome the denial of her passing as well as depression . No matter when I meditate.. it all comes back and I see her in every single thought. I miss her so much . I haven't dealt with her loss ..guess I just cant 😔😔😔. This helped me calm down . Thank you

Am I the only one who loves the sound of his voice? His voice is so soothing.

Wow I successfully meditated. I was so focused on being mindful of my surroundings that I didnt realize that the meditation ended. lol. This was nice 💜

very useful for stress people who needs to find relaxation.

I take ADHD medication, and it tends to make my heart POUND. This morning the pounding was quite bothersome and wouldn’t go away, so I decided to try some mindfulness. My mom has always recommended meditation to me, but I’ve just brushed it off and never really tried it. But now that I did... whoa. It was such a special experience and it genuinely helped to calm down my heart rate. Thank you so much for this video, I’ll definitely try this again very soon.

One tip for all is to have a Mantra. Repeat that mantra. It doesnt have to be Om. But your mantra. Ex. "I am free". Repeat this mantra in your head for the 10 minutes that you are doing meditation. While doing the things mentioned in this video. Having a mantra further increases your focus and helps to prevent thoughts coming in. Slowly when you have mastered this then you can try without the mantra!

I've been meditating for just 6 months and this is one of the best I've found, very hypnotic and balancing.... thank you 💞

First video I’ve found that’s allowed me to drift into a deep sense of relaxation. The balloon visualisation is a massive game changer, the chatter in my head can be overbearing at times for me. SO grateful to have found this video and channel :’)

This meditation saved me from one of the deepest depressions I have fallen into years ago, I did it today after a long time (remember If you are in a hole, stop digging, get out)

i love how they still reply to new comments after 5 years :) thank you for the meditation!!

Wow, I kept seeing all these colors when my eyes were closed, this really brought me to a really great place

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw the most beautiful sunrise on the screen. Very nicely put together and the guiding voice is always soothing. good job, The Honest Guys.

I was meditating to this and heard a sound in my room and then he said: "they don't control you, you have control over them" And let go to the thought thank you so much for this I really needed it

I listen to this almost everyday. I have borderline so my anxiety goes to the roof, when I listen to this I'm calm I'm fine there's nothing bothering me. It's so helpful.

thank you for this video ,,this video made me realise that because of my autisme i,m always mindfull ,,maybe a bit to mindfull ,,all my senses are very very sensitive

Perfect for. Someone who has ANXIETY ISSues

I was broken into pieces the moment I confronted my weakness. I was agitated by the fact that I had reacted in such a way when the person had not even been speaking to me directly I frequently encountered these situations, and the following was my fleeting mechanism: 1. I listened to music or watched a film to shift my focus away to something irrelevant 2. I went to a nearby cafe. 3. I made unnecessary phone calls with friends and gloated about something I continuously practiced physical relaxation methods instead of choosing to escape. The coffee shop truly was the optimal place to practice. I realized why I had wanted to go home early before. At home, no one would attack my vulnerability.

Just to let u know my Grandad died this morning and ur meditation vid has really helped me to calm down and process the situation. 👍

This is the most epic meditation video on KZfaq

I have been doing this meditation every day for three weeks now. It has made such a difference. I feel much calmer throughout the day and much more resilient to the effects of stress and anxiety. Thank your for making this available 🙂

This literally felt like 2min

Lovely meditation, thank you.

It was weird. When it was time to let go of the colored balloons (represented by my own thoughts), my head kept on moving forward and backward, just like lying my head on the waves of the sea. It was smooth yet continuous. The moving stopped after the meditation. In the end, I felt like I was in another world, attaining personal peace that I sought for months. I felt the comfort and confidence that I once had. Thank you for making these kind of videos. May they serve as instruments of attaining inner peace.

I literally use this before bed about 4 times a week

This video has helped calm me through countless anxiety-ridden days in lockdown in Milan.

I’m challenging myself and trying to meditate for 30 days and I have to say this was an awesome guide to begin with. Thank you!

this meditation has been one of the most wonderful things ever. It's like the first time, finally I could make it. Thanks.

Lovely, the music is beautiful. Put my mind at peace after all the stressful news in the world right now.

Wishing everybody seeing this love, peace and serenity 💕

Namaste 🙏🏼 we all have a wonderful life to be grateful for 🤍

This really helps with my OCD and anxiety :) thank you 😊 x

Hey, honestly your video is literally a life saver. It completely calms me down when my anxiety feels impossible and I feel unbelievably relaxed afterwards. Doesn’t feel real it’s amazing. I’ve used it for the past two years whenever I need to recharge the mind. Thank you 👌🏾

This meditation saved my life. I almost took my own life due to my anxiety disorder and I always came to this guide for help and to calm my anxiety. It saved me every time. I recommended my grandmother this as well and it saved her from insomnia. I owe the world to you guys for saving me.

As an international student who suffers from heavy academic works, I do this meditation whenever I have a panic or feel hard breathtaking. With my headphones on，I do it in library, classroom, and my bedroom before sleeping.

very nice and uplifting,made me feel really calm.We are slaves of our own thoughts,quote from eckhart tolle: There is a huge amount of suffering that is generated not by the actual challenges of life,but by the fictitious problems that the mind generates.

I started mindfully meditating about a month ago. I was mentally preparing for major surgery and feeling very anxious about the upcoming surgery. I am "hooked" on my daily meditations. 20 minutes in the morning and about an hour before sleep. I have listened to many different versions, but yours are the BEST. Thank you I am well on my path of healing and strongly believe that meditation is key to my overall well being. Thank you for making these, I enjoy them immensely.

observing the still point between breaths has really improved my focus

Hey. I feel so much refreshed now.. Thank you!

Best 10min meditation on youtube:)

This is my bed time meditation I have anxiety and this helps to bring my focus and my energy to a balance truly recommend to listen to this everynight

This is the best guided meditation on KZfaq. Your words enlighten my mind and soul. I will make this a daily routine. Thank you so much for uploading.

I've been listening this one for years every once in a while. It never gets old :) It's like the rule standard for KZfaq meditation videos for me.

You Guys are not only Honest, you are generous! Thank you for sharing these freely. You are blessing the world.

Hey. Sometime it's hard for me to function, for example this morning was tough because of panic attacks. Yet, I still have to manage a lot of things in my life, as I'm in charge of many projects because I always want to push my boundaries and not let me be dictated by my anxieties. Still, sometime it is very tough, and this morning, this video helped me through it. Thanks.

what I really like about this channel is that it is so real. It feels like real people are making this, sometimes with certain channels the creater feels more like a bot, I just feel super connected and calm

Never realised how good meditating is , the breathing and the balloon thing work so well I can definitely say I’ll use this every day
