Sam, I was not having good days since 4 days ago and I couldn’t move forward. I felt extremely caged with my own thoughts and like Alkesh said societal conditioning. Sam, you’ve always been the light to my darkness, and just right at the moment, this came to me. Neti Neti has been an eye opener for me, you know I’ve been putting all the blames on me & couldn’t control and compose my emotions, it really eating me up slowly. Thankyou for being there for me even without your knowing. Truly my guardian angel!!! 🙏🏽🤍 Alkesh sir, I really loved the part ‘not being introspective > not be self aware > no self acceptance > no inception to growth to happen in life’. Whole episode is just clean and clear and Sam being amazing host of the whole episode. Thankyou for this Sam and Alkesh 🥺🥺🥺 sometimes the things you are doing might not getting attention but it reaches to the people that needed it mostly and right at time. Mental health should be considered the most important priority in life, and people like you are being the great guidance to those who’s struggling. Meditation is about inner peace too. Thankyou angels. Lots of love and respect to both of you. Please keep it coming more 🙏🏽♥️🙇‍♀️🥺

Thanku so muchhh Samantha for giving us this high cost counseling sessions for free. U are girl with beautiful and kind heart ❤️. May God bless u and give u happiness and peace without anxiety. I am also in the transformation journey, but I was stuck in freeze response and in difficult situation to change thought patterns, don't know what to do, now u made me understand that meditation changes thought patterns is biggest eye opening for me. I know meditation calms down but don't know it can change thought patterns. Now I can try to change my thoughts patterns with ur help. Thanku Samantha. Thanku so muchhh heartfully ♥️ for bringing this free sessions to us. May be it was not getting millons and millions of views, but reaching to the people who need it desperately like a medicine. U are escaping us from mental torture and extreme anxiety we get. Not millions views U are releasing us from mental torture who needs that medicine.💖. Thanku so muchh sam heartfully ♥️. Let's fight together in this time taking enjoyable transformation journey. Yayyyyyyy... 🥳🥳🥳

This is such an insightful episode on the importance of meditation.

I was diagnosed last month with 7.3cm fibroid outside uterus attached to it. It's been very stressful. Your video related to coping up with dark times in terms of health somehow reached me during right time. Thanks for your positive words. Hope you are doing okay. Pray for the fibroid shrinkage please 🙏.

It's really nice that you're practicing meditation. Inner engineering designed by Sadhguru is a phenomenal program. If one practices this 21 min practice every day, it takes one into deep states of meditativeness very easily and the flow state persists throughout the day along with phenomenal energy. It heals the body so magically that many people come out of debilitating illnesses just by doing this practice. Please try to do this as well. It's been a life changing program for many and it will be for you as well.

Dearest Sam & Alkesh, as always thank you so much for this amazing episode! Its doing so much good - learning & understanding new things & the different aspects about health & of course trying to implement them slowly but definitely! You 2 are doing a fabulous job. Keep going & doing such great episodes. And I Cant wait for the next one.! This episode has discussed many things & thoughts that keeps going on in me. And now I have a better understanding, thank you once again! I am soon going to start with meditation (focusing on breathe) atleast for few minutes like Alkesh mentioned because like Sam told a racing mind distracts us easily.. So happens with me! It's going to help with overthinking that I often complaint about myself. The example of mindfulness of closing our eyes and focusing on sounds is so good.. Have experienced that & now have a better understanding of mindfulness! Gonna practice that too. And Neti Neti sounds so good! I have understood the scientific importance of pursuing something of our interest to keep us centered & in flow state & help us through the process of meditation. Thank you for these insights & this podcast is doing wonders with respect to learning & implementation! Its truly beneficial. Much love & power to both of you! 🤗♥✨

As someone who has seen loved ones who suffered from depression. There is a caveat to meditation and no one talks about it I don't know why. People who are overthinkers or are prone to depressive thoughts should not meditate. (initially), First approach to healing is always always movement. So go out for walks, play your fav music, join a gym or any form of outdoor sports, take in lots of sunlight, and breathwork!!!! omg it does wonders for everyone!!! (checkout so many great videos of that on youtube) and then gradually get into meditation after at least 3-4 months but again start with guided or mantra chanting instead of going into the silent meditation where you reflect or observe your thoughts.
