How you do meditation??

thnaks for saying this

I’m happy for you that you’ve found that meditation has given positive experience. I’ve been doing the same for years and found that it has helped me to stay sane when I should have gone nuts! 🤣😂

Do you take medication as well? Be honest

This is a common misconception of mindfulness (I'm a cognition and mindfulness researcher). In fact, mindfulness is NOT about switching your mind off. Instead, it is about observing and noticing the contents of your mind, accepting them and labeling or categorizing them as thinking, and then returning attention to the present moment (often helpfully linked to the breath, which is always present). In short, mindfulness is not the absence of thought or emotion, but rather these observance of these things within ourselves. Noticing/observing thoughts and emotions is mindfulness, whereas getting caught up in them is distraction. So mindfulness is a bit more nuanced than what you outlined, though your intuition about being present in the moment is right on the money :)

@@Jthom88 Thanks for sharing this

@Kirsty, meditation does NOT train the mind to switch off, if your mind switched off you would die! I meditate daily. Meditation, depending on the type you do, trains you to control your mind and have complete control over your thinking process. Even as the guy that is talking about meditation in this video does NOT actually understand what meditation is. Meditation is a tool used to understand GOD, GOD is in your heart (that is where the Kingdom of Heaven/light is centered there), the more you meditate, the more you connect with Yahweh the LORD and His beloved son Jesus Christ the LORD. Meditation is about uplifting your thoughts and NOT about watching them, watching your thoughts is just rubbish, NOT meditation - meditation is about building up your mind through right thinking and watching your thoughts does NOT build up your mind at all because you are just observing the rubbish clutter that is already in your head.

@@Jthom88 💯

@@kingsolomon_fitness this is the challenge of using a word like Meditation. Different traditions define it differently. People are comparing (arguin!) about apples and oranges 😅

How long do you meditate for at a time?

Can you send what u mediate to what song how long etc

@@Rumne I began 5 years ago with 5 minutes a few times a day. Morning, lunch, evening/night. Now if I’m busy I do 10 minutes about 5 times a day when I can find time and if I don’t there is a noticeable difference. On an ideal day I do 20-10-20. And if I have a day off I’ll just set a stop watch and sit until I’m ready to get up which is typically 25-45 minutes. There’s something psychological about not setting a specific time but just sitting until you feel reenergized and content that allows you to sit longer, even if it’s once a week, that makes increasing your daily sitting meditations easier.

@@lsmith3942 I started with guided meditations by Andy puddicomb (idk if I spelled that correctly lol) but he’s the founder of what is headspace now. I no longer do guided meditations and it’s my opinion that meditation is more beneficial without guided, but it took me 2.5 years to get off of guided meditations and have enough attention span to sit in meditation without guided. I probably could have done it earlier if I wanted but I was comfortable with it and didn’t know much about meditation so I stuck with guided meditations for a while. Nowadays I just sit in silence, set a timer for about 15-20 (maybe longer if I’m not busy or if I wake up early enough) and I establish an anchor point for my attention. Some peoples anchor is the breath, some the body, some the sense of I AM. I began with the breath, and anytime your attention drifts, recognize the thought and gently bring it back to your anchor. Its actually not too complicated. Feel free to ask any other questions

You've mentioned the attention and motivation stuff. What had changed? How were you before and how are you now? Why do you think that meditation was the impactful factor? I'm so curious !

@@mateuszwajcheprzeloz3737 cuz you suck , stop complaining and say to your brain that do it already try to stop thinking about different things and first start focus on one body part of the body, i suggest heart , try to listen your heartbeat and just focus , then focus on breath and then you can sit ezy for 20-30min i do this myself

Search for guided meditations by Ajahn Brahm or Thanissaro Bhikkhu. They're amazing teachers.

Meditation will blow your mind! It will bring more calm, ease, and creative spark/intuition to your life. If it seems hard to quiet your mind, don't worry, just allow your mind to be noisy. Try to watch without judgement or control, but don't think of it as effort or struggle. The point is to let it be, whatever it is. And don't worry about sitting in a lotus position or anything like that. Just be comfortable. If you fall asleep, that just means your body needs more rest so that's OK too.

You are in for a ride

trust me once you finally realize and appreciate the benefits of meditation you will never wanna go back, wish you all the luck ❤

Search heartfulness. Its a heart based meditation. Once you starts to practice there is no looking back. But ofcourse its a process and a journey nothing changes in a day or one meditation and it should not.

i love how u said this

I just lay down, close my eyes, focus on my breath, and try not to think.

I loved this as well. This was very helpful, it had to be long for it to be informative and as someone with ADHD this ticked my question that i didn’t even know how to ask for me to get this exact answer. Your lengthy comment spoke to me directly. Thank you for taking your time🙏🏿

Thank u Justin! Makes perfect sense

No problem! The best part is that you don't need to worry about your brain drifting off because your brain won't let you leave the moment because it wants you to move/scratch or whatever.

For anyone wondering what meditation to do I also took inner engineering by sadhguru and within 40 days I no longer suffered from crippling depression that had gotten worse every year for 14 years straight, there is no gift I have ever received greater. The last year of my life has been the first year of my life I was happy and felt like life was worth living. I had tried diet, exercise, and therapy and nothing helped even a fraction as much as inner engineering. Please if you want to invest in yourself and being happy and to end your suffering please try it and dedicate yourself for at least 40 days, you will not regret it.

I took Inner engineering by sadguru. The best decision of my life. Please give it a try guys. ❤

it's hallucination not meditation. it's another form of imagination and mental activity. meditation is to return back to your natural state of consciousness, in natural state there is no activity. there is only pure consciousness which can only be felt, experienced not understood.

Yes. Whatever 'God' is or what name you use. I thank: Mystery, the goddesses and their wives and husbands, my ancestors, and then particular people who have passed. My successes are 'through me' not 'by me'; my failures are the opposite.

I agree with is comments. Sometimes our meditation is not practiced appropriately and to do the prayers wholeheartedly may be more conscious act.

With 30 minutes you can't unlock any real benefits of Dhyana. It is one the hardest thing to do and practicing just 30 minutes if you believe you can achieve something meaningful you r my friend living in fools land.

I just wrote a similar comment. I'm a long time meditator and there are very few people in The West I'd recommend third eye meditation to for a variety of reasons.

@@awakenedtarot7306 Do not mystify the “third eye” because it can bring confusion and misunderstanding. In traditional philosophy the third eye isn’t a mystical eye of other realms but simply the eye of wisdom. You began to see life with wisdom instead of discrimination, ego, greed or ignorance. It is said in the Gita, Krishna says to focus on that point and in traditional yogi practices, yogis do so. But do not misunderstand. It is a purifying practice rather than a “spiritual entertainment bargain” as I see most people out stigma around it is. BG 5.27-28: Shutting out all thoughts of external enjoyment, with the gaze fixed on the space between the eye-brows, equalizing the flow of the incoming and outgoing breath in the nostrils, and thus controlling the senses, mind, and intellect, the sage who becomes free from desire and fear, always lives in freedom. “All yogic practices, including Raja (meditation), Karma (good actions), Bhakti (devotion), and Jnana (knowledge)- comes from Hindu philosophy, and in this paragraph, comes from the Bhagavad Gita spoken by Krishna. I say that so we know what I’m saying isn’t ideologized or my own opinion, it’s from the very source of what you strive to know. When the yogi meditates more deeply, he finds his mind automatically concentrated at the one point of the spiritual eye, in ecstasy with the Absolute/Infinite. “(Paramanhamsa Yogananda) And he goes on to say - “As the devotee progresses in meditation from restless consciousness to cosmic consciousness, his conscious and subconscious thoughts may materialize in his inner vision, weaving figures of light, like those seen in movies, both real and unreal-materializations of the will and life energy. Beware, young devotee, of these fairies of the world of life energy. Be not satisfied with anything less than Spirit and the bliss of Spirit. Pay no attention to variations of the inner light, but practice concentration on the light of the spiritual eye. The light of the eye must be used only to look for God, the One whose presence is hidden on the throne of light. (bg p.612)” - So it’s a very orthodox spiritual practice meant for those on the path of yogic practice. Yogananda indeed was a Kriya yogi. Another great story is of when Ramakrishna met Trailanga swami and Ramakrishna was told to focus “here” as Trailanga grabbed a glass shard and cut in between his brows. The great saint Ramakrishna fell into Samadhi (A state of bliss where all outward consciousness dissolves into the one reality/the Atman) for three days. Trailanga said “What I worked 50 years to achieve you did in three days!” And they both become disciples of eachother. I recommend the documentaries of Ramakrishna and the old film on YT portraying him. I say that to point towards the third eye isn’t some spiritual realm seeing, but it a very sanctifying spot to purify oneself, and I myself have practiced the yogic gaze of the atman. But anyways, it is a yogic practice and a metaphorical reference as the eye of wisdom which just simply means seeing with wisdom rather than ignorance. Blessings. Stick to a orthodox meditative practice as the goal is liberation from suffering, which is purity, and nothing else. Amituofo🙏🏼😁

@@awakenedtarot7306 I am from the east, I practiced the meditation that Buddha practiced. But I do wanna try third eye center, not for any mystical reasons, only for the reasons Mr. Huberman explained.

@@imdiyu I think Mr. Huberman is making some assumptions about causality that aren't actually backed up by data or my direct experience. He seems to over index on the fact that third eye meditation is supposedly focusing on the "organ that can't feel", the brain. That's not my experience at all. If you focus on the third eye, most people definitely feel a physical sensation between the eyebrows that is no different from a physical sensation anywhere else in the body. It's not special because that particular patch of skin and bone is closer to the brain. You are not somehow touching emptiness more effectively simply because you're stitching the brow. The claim is patently absurd to me.

@@Chase_Istre I'm not mystifying anything. I'm speaking very plainly.

If there is god it has to be pure consciousness. where do you find pure consciousness? in all living beings where it is active, (sagun) state of god. hence god is in every creature. and in potential (nirgun) state god is everywhere as everything. it simple logic. but most don't understand it unless they understand Nonduality (oneness)/Advaita Vedanta philosophy the most important, fundamental philosophy of Hinduism.

Nope

Nope correct your facts. Hinduism is not a religion. The rishis and sadhus who found the deep insights about our conciousness gave this knowledge freely to the world. The only reason the misinformation of Yoga, meditation, and mantras are from Hindu religion is because it originates from ancient India. The mughal invaders gave people of India the same Sindhu but pronounced is as Hindu and that's how we got the name. Most of us who believe in Krishna, Shiva, and Shakti are spirituals. You can call it Sanatana Dharma but truly we are free to worship any energy of the cosmos.

How do you do it?

@@Koraxus I started from 10-15 mins at the beginning for many months, focused on the triangle breathing in and out slowly and upper lips when exhaled and think of nothing else till my mind is calming down then increased time as I'm getting more comfortable with the uncomfortable of sitting. I may/may not works for anyone but it works for me as I have noticed the difference on daily life. I'm more focus, not easy to get upset, see things the way there are and not judgemental and more happy, more grateful in general and just much happier even many times bad things happened, no big deal. The one hour 1st thing in the morning was not lost because I made up by being more efficient, able to get more work done with a trained mind, quick to solved any problems so good luck and thank you for asking :)

What?! And have the pharmaceuticals lose out on all those profits? You must be crazy to suggest something like that. Make people sick by having them spend their money on crap food so that they then proceed to spend more money on pharmaceuticals and the medicine industry. That is where we want you!

I was taught in the pilot program at Brookline School in 89-91 by a Program designed by Dr Herbert Benson who led the clinical research community in this subject at the time, founding the Body Mind pain management clinic at Beth Isreal hospital in Boston. My teacher was trained by his colleague Dr. Marylin Howe. She wrote a book Minding the Body Mending the Mind. This was the most important class I ever took in high school. I would even argue that the approach it gave me to life allowed me to skip paying for college because and start a professional design career as a contractor because and have a robust design and music career for 35 years. Despite many struggles with anxiety, it allows me to navigate them and develop focus

I think part of the issue is that mindfulness practice isn't necessarily the same for everyone. Some people experience similar benefits from ongoing immersion in a meaningful task, for example sports or music or writing (or whatever works for you really). So mindfulness isn't a cure all nor is it right for everyone. With that said, I agree with your sentiment that it should at least be offered in schools to young children - there is a wealth of evidence to show the benefits to children and adults alike in improved cognition such as memory, attention, and emotional self regulation and socio-emotional functioning (e.g. anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, etc.)

I agree I am from India, the very origin of meditation practice since ages still it is not taught in school, I am surprised, like ppl all over the world have known it's importance then how in India it is not put into real practice by government authorities.

As a buddhist meditation is one thing we are taught the most. Sorry to say there isn’t a god who created anything. It’s nature and what you do coming back for you to experience your self or karma that decides your surroundings. Well if your a beautiful being you can go to heaven and become a god among others gods.

could you explain how exactly you meditate?

@@sobean9309 at the time I started I would sit in my car at a lookout overlooking the ocean. I started out sungazing as the sun rose then I would close my eyes and listen to binaural music. I visualised energy coming up through my feet from the earth and moving through my body activating my chakras. Once it passed through my crown I’d then visualise it coming back down through my body from my crown. Then visualise it coming back up through my feet and down through my crown until it hit my heart centre where it would beam out to the sides, front and back and diagonally from my body and spin around in rainbow colours, this is our Merkarbah. I’d then just allow my body to drop, like a sinking feeling until I couldn’t feel my body anymore, then my subconscious went off exploring the higher realms. I could easily stay in this state for an hour, I never really wanted to emerge, it was absolute bliss. I hope this helps💜🙏🏻

@@unlockedpotential2703 Thanks.

He didn’t say either was better. He’s saying both are as relevant as each other. If your in your head a lot, try external, and if you generally are focused on external, focus internally. Hope that makes sense.

Meditation is to return back to your natural/instinctive state of consciousness where there is no effort, in natural state there is no activity not even watching because it is activity but there is automatic mode of watching that's it that is meditativeness. there is only pure consciousness which can only be felt, experienced not understood. if you understood it then you weren't meditating. you can understand it before or after meditation.

I focus on my prefrontal cortex with my eyes closed while feeling and focusing on my breath at the same time always seems to work
