No truer words were ever spoken

@@Droctagon1not exactly true

+Gigsand Busking great stuff!

Can you please help me how to do mindfulness meditation. Please provide any video links which helps you because there are hundreds of video which makes confusion.

@@Kishor_Kumarr unsubscribed to the GAIA app/channel because it has an incredible amount of meditations! It’s worth it!

Maybe even to feel timeless.

+ShakinJamacian see I can't be mindful because I could care less abut the present I already know I'm not as skilled as people think they call me musical, I think a grade two can count to twelve and read a list, not to mention I don't have the certificates to teach it anywhere. most places around here in general I couldn't care much less about because they are likely all minimum wage low hour jobs in a conglomerate. people may say I'm skilled at knitting and crochet but it doesn't usually take much skill to mimic what you see on a KZfaq video or tie a slip knot. people may say I'm good at searching for things but after you find websites that tell you how to do things it's mimicry to be able to find things on google etc. I don't have a job and don't have plans to gain the skills to would make me stand out in a workplace.

ShakinJamacian I agree mindfullness is the answer to a free life

shut up

The best way is to experience what is says. Try to listen to his words and live them, experiment them again and again and you will see progress everyday, it's a trip not a destination.

SO what happened?

I bet you give great head

I guess if your thinking negatively all the time, or insisting you must be happy all the time.... you haven't quite mastered it yet. I think it's about stopping and saying "whats the pros and cons of this situation" Listening to your emotions so they can help you make decisions instead of taking over you. Meditation is useful though, it's like resetting your mind, so you can think more clearly and take a fresh look at things.

Edie Brown You don’t because this is just another new age crock that will make you NOT pay attention because you’ll be obsessed with being mindful all. The. Time. Just relax and be you. Funny that,isn’t it?

+Faure Swanepoel So there is a lot to this question. First of all, there is the suffering that life gives you, and there is the suffering that we create ourselves(through ruminating on the past, or worries about the future, trying to avoid negative feelings in unhealthy ways, etc.). Being able to be present, in the moment, and be willing to experience your emotions nonjudgmentally (in an observer mind) significantly helps people stop the cycles that create their own suffering and be at peace with the experiences that they are having.

I'm a little late here but meditation is a way of being mindful and its more of an exercise to strengthen mindfulness. But mindfulness itself can be done at every given moment. Its focusing on the now and noticing things like your breathe just like meditating and everything else around you. Its also noticing your feelings and accepting them but not letting them control you.

Buddha if fiction, fake, not real

Andrea Lovely That is not the purpose of mindfulness. But it might help you to spend more time in the present than the past, and come to terms with whatever happened in the past. I wish you peace.

Thank you! I had recent bad experiences with a neighbour. Horrible people. I want to put that in the past and move on. Thank you once again.

Ruminate "over and over"

Nah :D this is totally normal. gotta start small. you cant meditate for like half an hour at first.

Every human being has a seed of mindfulness in him and does practice it without even knowing about it. it just need to be nurtured by practice, it can accomplish literally miracles.

What would constitute 'working' for you? And what have yo tried and for how long?

@@mindfuleats4517 Sorry for the delay in responding. I was 'roped into' Mindfulness training at work two years ago. We were told all about how great mindfulness is, but not what it was or how to do it (other than the annoyingly vague 'be present'). So, me being me, I did some research. All I found were repetitions of the same woolly explanations without serious scientific backing - in fact, the scientific 'facts' were cherry-picked benefits and any negative scientific results were not published by mindfulness advocates. Every website and blog had a shop to buy hippy stuff and a 'Donate to us so we can continue to live our mindful life' paypal account. Mindful scrounging. Jon Kabat-Zin is worth millions. Andy Puddicombe (headspace) is worth 25 million pounds. Any book with 'Mindful' on its cover is more expensive than the non-mindful equivalent. It's a racket in sandals. They are the prophets of profit. Companies like mindfulness because they can appear to be doing something for workplace stress, rather than eliminate the stress. It's medicine, not a cure. I don't need mindfulness. It's a con.

@@Chebab-Chebab Ahh so wrong, but I feel the pain in your words. I hope you've found some peace.

Calling them haters isn't being very mindful. You're supposed to be non-judgmental.
