Best Mantra Meditation Technique - So Hum Healing Mantra

[shimmeringreflection]

TM's basically the same thing anyway, except you're given a 'secret' mantra, which is really the same for each age group. Originally, there was only one mantra, "RAM" -- which is pronounced "RAAHM". Just use that. Vocalise your mantra softly to begin with and over the course of a minute say the mantra softer and softer until you're only repeating it in your mind, while your consciousness rests on Oneness. You don't control the breath, just repeat the mantra. if your mind drifts, bring it back.

[solukhumbu911]

thank you so much Anmol, may you aquire dharma through all your videos that help viewers like us, Om nama shivaya

[h1nY]

@NicerThanUtho ... friend, you can find the information you want on this site...

 tm.org

[h1nY]

yes ppl, I would delete my previous comment that says (TM is the only way) I'm sorry for that,,, yes it's not the only way but I'm sure now it's the best way according to our daily life routine or to me at least, because it's easy, simple and doesn't need long time to practice it :)

[sankey220485]

Soham in Sanskrit means "I am myself(soul or atma / eternal being)" and is an answer to the question Koham?(Who am I?)

[h1nY]

Transcendental Meditation is the only right way to learn how to meditate...all of such these youtube videos waste your time and make you learn wrong mantras...or learn nothing...believe me cause I have my experience.

[jpayne68177]

@h1nY

You're full of shit. Transcendental meditation is definitely not the only game in town bud.

[h1nY]

@jpayne68177 You and your comment show  us a real example (result) about what your school is...

thanks for that

[jpayne68177]

@h1nY

I could say the same about you :) A person that presents an opinion as a fact is a combination of delusional and ignorant. To say that "your" way of meditation is the ONLY "right" way is just ridiculous. It's like saying that riding a bike is the ONLY way to get in shape.

[h1nY]

@jpayne68177

Yes, I agree with you, there are many ways to get knowledge on Guru hands, but not by youtube videos or other commercial investments :), so, according to our daily life routine I found that Transcendental Meditation is the best way to have that inner peace and knowledge even to learn Yoga in general including ( Yogic Flying ) technique.

[iwannaberich1]

@h1nY

I have researched on TM recently and found out that even Maharishi's videos are uploaded on youtube. They are all over youtube man, David Lynch, Oprah etc talking about the benefits and experiences of TM. So its ok to post on youtube. Its an excellent medium in this modern world. Besides Anmol is doing a good job by showing us these techniques for free. If you are aware TM fees are exorbitant.

[h1nY]

Don't waste your time on these YouTube actors, go directly to the main spring and get a right begining on tm.org

[33karmadharma]

and for peoples safety. so many people die of so many silly reasons. the biggest silly reason is disease. disease of the body, the mind, the intention , the character. people will be safe once they clear their diseases. if one starts to learn how to ride a bicycle, some learn it faster, some fall, some never ride it. so does that mean the bicycle is wrong? haha. great. if 10 years of meditation couldnt give you wisdom then your intention to meditate was to run away from responsiblities.

[33karmadharma]

if a person volition is wrong in case of doing meditation and wants the wrong things in life trying meditation then he is gonna suffer. you are getting attached to the person who tried it and was unsuccessful. he got what was due to him from his past life karmas and this life's karmas. if one gets slapped then the slapper and the one who is slapped both choose their own doings. one gets what one deserves. you are no one to cry foul. God ultimately has the red card.

[743729sci]

@nextnextdoor1 meditation doesn't tamper with the body. It simply let's the mind wonder into it's peaceful place, it's own little heaven. I'm a Christian and a firm believer in belief in Jesus as our savior. And believing will bring us salvation. In the meantime we would want us to pray, laugh, cry, etc. What others do means nothing as long as there is our trust toward him. Please do let you arrogance blind you.

[nevernextdoor1]

@743729sci Please don't be fooled. Jesus most definitely warned of the pitfalls of ANY eastern mysticism. All yoga and meditation are part of a system that is linked to energy pathways in the body that are linked to certain deities that are not of God. I could show you very real accounts of EVEN gurus who have got out of these practices because they say the deities associated with the energy pathways are not 'gods' from heaven.

Insanity, demonic possession, and suicide are all kept quiet.

[Wlk4acure]

@nevernextdoor1 meditation is not bad- do you know you can meditate on the scriptures you read in the Bible- it is about sitting and being still clearing your mind.

[nevernextdoor1]

@Wlk4acure  the word meditate, in the bible had nothing to do with the meaning of the word as it appears in buddhism. The clearing of the mind has nothing to do with biblical meditation. Meditating on the scriptures just simply meant thinking about what they mean. That's all. A classic example of how eastern mysticism has crept into the Christian religion. That exactly how paganism started. Peace

[DrTruthiness]

@nevernextdoor1 Cultural influences creep into every religion, even Christianity. This idea that religion is infected if a culture practices it even slightly different from the way Romans or ancient south-asian people practiced it is boarder-line ethnocentric.

I'm sure you learned things following certain krishna doctrines, but not everyone follows those doctrines. I have a hard time believing that a follower Christ is damned if he/she promotes finding inner-peace through meditation.

[nevernextdoor1]

@DrTruthiness I'm not condemning you to hell, I haven't a clue what your destination holds. That wasn't why I came here. My warning was about what dangers are present in these practices.  Who's talking about hell? You might cause major problems for yourself now, here on earth. I'm not turning this into a Christian ethic issue, I'm simply warning people who are looking for God, that this isn't the path and though you might feel a 'buzz' after it, it's very risky. I'll inbox you with a link

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 every technique has positives and negatives. depends what you are trying to achieve. its a very simple thing to understand, that unless you cleare off your own impurities how shall you get that is pure. impurities of the mind, body, and much more. do you even know how much time does it take to even cure a grudge? confused people go the insanity etc etc way. the one who has removed the impurities has clarity of not only mind and matter but beyond that

[mytalentedkid]

Cuz you believe it to be. All metaphorical. Jesus laid down rules. Walked a certain walk and talk. He did the same things we all can do. Even heal the sick. So, do some research, and let people seek themselves like it ought to be. Otherwise, speak not what you know not and if you are unable to experience it you cannot prove it. Our proof? Meditation that leads to enlightenment. It's scientifically proven.

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

-Albert Einstein

[nevernextdoor1]

@mytalentedkid Yes Jesus said walk how I walk and you're right. He also said not to get involved with eastern mysticism as it is an illusion disguised as an 'angel of light'. He warned it is not the path to God but seduces the masses into false promises of gifts from god. I could show you very real accounts of EVEN gurus who have got out of these practices because they say the deities associated with the energy pathways are not 'gods' from heaven. Angels of 'light' will come to deceive

[mytalentedkid]

@nevernextdoor

The kingdom of God lies within all of us. That's what your holy book says Jesus said sweetie. Your on the wrong YouTube search. As you are already... A little education wont harm. Jesus never built churches. We love that Being Jesus. Powerful teacher. Follow his direct teachings and you'll also be on your way to connecting with the kingdom within. Jesus never preached religion to be a way of life. It teaches pure fear. Hell is fire and brimstone? Sure it is. Cuz you believe it to

[nevernextdoor1]

There are dangers and people have died from these practices or gone insane. There is only one correct way to enlightenment and that is through Christ. He said, 'Treat others how you would like to be treated.' It's LOVE & FORGIVENESS. Enlightened comes through SERVICE. He also told us to keep his earthly commandments, to repent and turn away from specific things which include eastern mysticism / new age practices, and the reason is to protect you. He said many false messiahs will deceive

[xphorax]

@nevernextdoor1 Show me Where and how many people died; please don´t bring us your ignorance.

[nevernextdoor1]

@xphorax my own family member - noy yet gone, but could go any day, we pray every day about it. Trying to stay positive though. Do not tamper with the body's mechanics - Christ's way is THE way. Simple act of faith proven by acts of love, forgiveness and service. Treat others as yourself. Practice love every day and you'll gain enlightenment (not to mention salvation). False messiahs will come to deceive the masses in the end times. Don't be fooled with new ageism and eastern mysticism.

[xphorax]

@nevernextdoor1 More people have died in the name of christ than in eastern practices.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 to get to the panel of love and forgiveness, how about clearing the impurities within? do they vanish in one day? what you are saying is karma yoga. but even karma yoga is "yoga" i.e to be "aware" all the time. and how will reach that state? through meditation. loving and forgiveness without clearing the impurities within will only be a superficial action. the impurities have to be cleared at the thought level and not at the habit or character level.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 and how do you know all are false messiahs? are you the one who has been authorised by Jesus himself to give false and true messiahs certificates? if you havent even tried meditation then do not speak about it as if you know it inside out. go look for Buddha boy. and stop being a christian fanatic. dont be blinded by the name Jesus just because it seems you are the victim and fan of a false messiah.

[nevernextdoor1]

@33karmadharma I'm not authorized to do anything. Just want to warn people of practices that Jesus warned about. The path to God is difficult and narrow, it requires a simple life of love, forgiveness and faith in the example Jesus set. He warned of getting involved with all eastern mysticism. I have been practising meditation and following certain krishna doctrines for 10 years and saw some dangerous things, I'm now convinced of it's origin. I'm just warning those who might want to know.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 then dont warn in a fanatical way. there are more than 1000 techniques of meditation. one choose according to his/her inner calling. its not necessary that the path you choose also leads others towards salvation. if someone has to learn after a fall, he shall learn in that manner. if someone learns before committing a mistake then again he shall learn that manner. and about advising. dont advise unless you are asked for. you are creating an incorrect impression

[nevernextdoor1]

@33karmadharma Yes we all have choices. One of my choices was to warn unsuspecting aspirants of the pitfalls of certain practices. They are then free to also make choices based on knowledge as opposed to ignorance. You are saying, don't inform people of the facts, just let them try for themselves then if they fall they'll have learned a lesson.  Even if that 'fall' may be such a grave error they die from it. Protecting your traditions are more important to you than people's safety.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 mr smart, i quote again to make you understand that some people learn after they fall and some before they fall. neither you nor i can control their lives. if people want your advise they will come to you. you dont have to go on every door step like a salesman. just because someone practices black magic doesnt mean it is only for the evil. if it doesnt work out for you it might for someone else. every religion has its own vacancies and openings to the doors of heaven.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 and why are you so scared of death. we get so many life times that even 60 years of life seems a very minuscle unit of time. since there is no time and space its not even worth mentioning the 60 years. people die. they are reborn. everyone chooses for themselves. let them make their own choices. do not force unto them. everyone who seeks the Truth shall be bestowed with. all depends on the intention. and your intention is creating confusion for many.

[33karmadharma]

@nevernextdoor1 and it is not about traditions. (dont know what all you will bring in to support your reasons). its simply about let people make their own choices. their inner self will tell them the way ahead. they will get the right people at the right point of time in their lives. and what is wrong or right? there is just cause and effect. its the law of nature. one does wrong one begets wrong. one does right one begets right. so why dont you let the law of nature take its course.

[A4est]

thanks,THANK U SO MUCH

[mlsivaprasad]

Meditating regulary cleanses the mind and bring spirituality within, But before that lose all the confusions about the results and changes.. I am sure this would bring excellent results..PEACE!!

[boodestain]

Jesus meditated..... :)

[nevernextdoor1]

PLEASE, ANYONE READING THIS - PLEASE TAKE NOTE. THESE PRACTICES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. KUNDALINI IS NOT A WAY TO GOD. I KNEW SOMEONE WHO LITERALLY WENT MAD BECAUSE OF KUNDALINI AWAKENING, OTHERS BECAME DISABLED OR MENTALLY ILL.

THE ONLY WAY TO GOD REALLY IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. NOTHING CAN ATONE FOR THE SINS YOU KNOW YOU'RE GUILTY OF BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. IT'S A BASIC PRINCIPLE -ONE LIFE SURRENDERED FOR THE LIFES OF MANY. DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF ANY 'GURU' WHO GAVE THEIR LIFE FOR YOU?

[BestHappyEnglish]

@nevernextdoor1 so? what? Now i cannot meditate?

[nevernextdoor1]

@BestHappyEnglish well my friend meditation has been proved to arouse kundalini in many an individual. End times are upon us and many prophesies are coming true. I know you're seeking enlightenment, as we all are. But, it is prophesied that many false gurus will come and turn the seekers away from the truth. Forget a spiritual 'hit' from meditation, it's more important that you save yourself from what's going to happen. Your soul will continue, get saved -study what Jesus tells us :-)

[BestHappyEnglish]

@nevernextdoor1 i'm not looking for enlightenment

m looking to not having anxiety and being chill and centered thats all

[nevernextdoor1]

@BestHappyEnglish then find God my friend, we're in the end times right now and prophesies are coming true, Jesus warned of people being asleep. It's really important that you find him. I believe we're having this conversation now because you're meant to be hearing this. What would you do if you had been shown some impending danger that's going to happen to a passenger bus, wouldn't you try to get the people off as quickly as possible? Email me if you need more info

[BestHappyEnglish]

@nevernextdoor1 i'm so confused with God and everything. its just too much for me... i dont know how t believe in him

[nevernextdoor1]

@BestHappyEnglish I understand totally my friend, I was too and you're not on your own. I sent you an email.

[diageek1]

@BestHappyEnglish look for pascal's wager on wikipedia. It is an interesting take on why one might believe in god

[B1ggTuna]

@nevernextdoor1 You are half right. okay, mabye you are zero right, I don't know.

[roseagain2]

Thanks!

[leviton31]

Once I have meditate without closing my eyes. Was just like if somebody pause my existence, for 8 minute I was free.

[Midnitce]

Thank you very much, this So-Hum meditation was recommended to me, and I did not know how to perform it. First 2 minutes I tried it, and I felt really calm, I could go on and on like that. Good for focus, concentration, stress and also, anxiety. I thank you so much, namasté.

wow i tried it and all of a sudden i felt tingly and numbing feeling on my face and body....can anyone tell me if its a normal feeling?

thank you

[allaboutaliens]

thank you very much, love to you

[MissAppleMac]

can i seat on bed and do this?

[comanchio1976]

@MissAppleMac From what I've gathered, I think you're better off finding somewhere peaceful and comfortable, but not to get so relaxed as you fall asleep, or somewhere that you associate with sleeping for that matter.

Hope this helps.

[MissAppleMac]

@comanchio1976 thanks

[stephanieisinsane]

To those who comment negatively, look up the symptoms of anxiety and depression. If it's chronic it can't be helped through medicine- it just screws with you (side-effects) and you feel drugged, not happier. Therefore, if you can't rely on medicine or your conditioned-depressive mind, then the only way is to train your mind to relax and think positively. I've had chronic depression/anxiety for 6 years, and consequently I don't really care much about life. BUT mantra may work. Hope it works...

[SuperSkullDog]

@stephanieisinsane I hope it does work for you and you can discover how to be at peace in the world. I am always calmed and relaxed by the idea that energy is always borrowed, not owned. The less mental attachment I place on things in the world the more I can relax and just let stuff be.

[32lanting]

Inhale - put tongue upward, gently close mouth, focus breath in through nose. so gentle and ease that you can't hear a sound (relax stomach & rips, bring energy to Dan Tien); Exhale - slightly open lips, place tonque behind teeth hanging in between. Gently and ease that again hear no sound.; One in- & exhale counts as 1, count to 9 and then revert back to 1 till number counting silently disappear. For beginner, would suggest to join a group.

hi..so.. hum seems very similar to ancient egyptians use of, SIA...HU..sia on the in breath...hu on the out breath..this was used mostly in tantra...kind of like..ying..yang..although you do not mention anything regarding the male..female.here..would appreciate any feedback..i enjoyed this...thankyou....namamste...­william

[MissChrisa]

Yeah keep at it! I learned the Sudarshan Kriya technique through The Art of Living Foundation which is like this one in some ways. It does work for the anxiety and depression. It also helped for my PMS, ADHD, and irritable bowel syndrome. What can be troubling is when you feel strange negative emotions and even diffuse emotions you have not felt for years but suddenly come back. I am pretty sure this is just negative karma being cleansed from the system!

[zingzangwallawalla]

Awesome... floaty feeling. Can you do it sitting on a chair? Say over lunch time in the office?

[wonszlol]

So you Hum and then what? Ahahaha xD

[umayavan]

Hi Anmol,

This meditation is working wonders for me, I am working on "So" and the "hum" part is I nailed it. when I inhale I can't seem to sync my breath to "so" I mean think it my mind. I think I am putting to much pressure to get it right, I am going to take it slow and not expect anything from it but escape from the world to my mind.

thanks for you're teaching

[weltball]

I would like to learn meditation but is so difficult

[dridacostapaula]

How can i observe a thought? This is a concept that I can not understand. Can someone explain to me how to do it? Tnks.

[Phil86vie]

@dridacostapaula i'm trying to concertrate on my body and visualize whats happening with the air that i inhale in my body.. enjoy breathing

[gabigobstopper]

@dridacostapaula you are not your thoughts, you are a silent being who is listening to the thoughts. focus on your breath for a while and become aware of all of things that are happening in your body, as well as thoughts. be aware, listen, observe them, but do not believe them. you are the silent presence.

[Sorceress797]

Does this help people with an extreme level of anxiety? I get panic attacks at least once a week and I become hysterical. I completely become derealized. I'm trying to avoid having to take medications because this panic only started a few months ago.

[bhaugart]

In beginning the posture might create some tension in your body. Don't try to fight with that. just sit in any posture as long as your body feels relaxed and calm. Med. is for mind. And mind is connected to body. So, once you over come of your mind, it will be easy for your body to follow your order and you can sit in posture, because once you over come of your mind, it will be easy for body to obey your command.

"WE ARE PURE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THIS CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE" Suffering is just a word.

[tkuchroo]

excellent way of presenting technique. dr kuchroo

[simmerahluwalia]

continued...my question to you then is... how is this technique helpful in real life tasks for the purpose of which we are trying to improve our concentration. If you take the case of test, the mind is constantly occupied by a highly engaging tasks, so it cant put itself on autopilot, so the awareness is as it is heightened , more so because of adrenaline..

please elaborate on the benefits of these techniques as i would love to adopt them if they have some real benefit.

[simmerahluwalia]

..continued..

but since we have a very capable mind it sets easy tasks on autopilot (just when u have been driving the last 10 miles but dont remember doing so), The thoughts start creeping in after a few breaths, because the actions of the task have been easily understood and we can perform them on autopilot., so the mind begins a second task and begins wandering.

[simmerahluwalia]

it is scientifically proven that when we think vocal thoughts or read, or larynx moves.

so in a way our reading speed is limited by the movement of our larynx. this is also y if you wish to improve your reading speed it is advisable that you "hum" so that you develop a habit of reading with moving the larynx.

I think the significance of thinking the sounds is the same as it assigns a task to the mind, so it would not be able to think of other thoughts, its like creating a diversion.

[simmerahluwalia]

i have started meditating recently, though i have been in touch with a few knowledge able who have been doing so for years and are qualified yoga practitioners. They have all told me that they have themselves many so called "enlightened men" and non has been able to prove the veracity of the chakras.

Look at symmetrical figures and soothing music is not even close to the real thing. this just give us false experience of the real phenomenon. if anzyone one has any info please reply.

[Galavya41]

I doubt this guy even understand the true meaning of So-Ham , just repeating it intellectually wont do anything , So-Ham must be realized internally , Mansoor an arab realized it and was able to say " anlhal-hak" even when fools were threatening to chop of his head for saying it.

Sir if you cant make people renounce the world (internally)& make them exp the atmn, so that even this physical body looses its value & one is not afraid of anything , whats the point of asking them to repeat a word.

hoping u keen on make people happy

[igemini48]

@happytohaveguruji

yoga has been around for 5,000 years and is not for entertating purposes. It can't be changed just to get someone impressed or amused.

It is what it is.

Hope it helped.

Shanti

[Galavya41]

@igemini48 Sir actually yoga has been there for more than 5000 years , the indian rishis and masters have told us again and again that the vaidic dharma( of which yoga is a part) has been there for a lot longer than what the western, so called, scientist would like us to believe.

[Galavya41]

@igemini48 For example Swami Parahamsa Yogananda a great saint mentioned his dada guru BabaJi in several of his satsangs . He also told the Baba ji is thousands of years old and is still doing sadhana in some part of india. Babaji is just one saint in the great vaidic tradition of saints , god only knows for how long yoga has been around.

[venumkvanantam]

yes, this soham (I am GOD) meditation can help in stress, axiety, health problems but have not spiritual value, so as it is, it is not selfrealization... better maditate ahambra masmi (I'am spirit soul... but not supreme!), however good luck and I wish you good health and no stress :-), haribol!

So hum is also same as Hamsa (So and Hum in reverse) or Hong Sau meditation. Very powerful.

[BradBrassman]

Can you lean against something when you meditate? Its funny, I go around all day with no problems, and can sit for ages quite still too, but as soon as i meditate i get neck ache. Any Ideas?

[lacuriouscurator]

@BradBrassman You absolutely can! I like to sit in a chair when I meditate, but you can have a cushion and meditate against a wall or padded surface.

Good luck + Namaste, friend!

[ClaudeMcBanister]

Hi. I've decided to start meditation as i have depression and anxiety. Idon't really want to take anti-depressant drugs like prozac as they have side effects so mediation seemed like a good idea.

I found that doing this mantra relaxed me but i for the rest of the day i was in a very strange mood. I wasn't exactly depressed but i just felt empty and confused. If i keep doing this will i become happy or is it just making the mater worse.

Any help would be great thanks.

[AnmolMehtaCom]

@ClaudeMcBanister

Hi there.

Try this meditation for a month and see. As with any natural solutions - the results are not instantaneous so give it a try.

Also start with 10 minutes and gradually build up to 20 minutes.

Let u know how you progress.

All the best,

AnmolMehtaYoga

[ClaudeMcBanister]

@AnmolMehtaCom

Thanks very much for your support. I will keep trying this and hopefully things will improve.

[Livinginfullenergy]

Hope things are going well for you. It is not unusual, in fact it would be unusual for all hell to not mentally brake loose. In the first month or so... Let me assure you that it is natural and a sign that things are taking a turn for the better. Most people don't realize that they are standing in a bucket of **** until they start meditating.

[thejugglenaut91]

@Livinginfullenergy "Most people don't realize that they are standing in a bucket of **** until they start meditating. "

Couldn't say it better myself.

[Livinginfullenergy]

Also, perhaps the feeling you were having was simply because it is new and unusual for you. The reason being that us humans have a habit of thinking we need to "hold onto things" instead of letting nature take its course... Initially letting go can feel unusual as it is new to you. LTY (Light to you)

[selenabelena]

@ClaudeMcBanister you might want to see your doctor, you may have a low level of seratonin which can easily be treated with the help of mild anti-depressants along with therapy, conscious living including mediation. All have helped me tremendously live with Depression.

be well

[selenabelena]

@ClaudeMcBanister The confused and empty feelings you feel after meditation, is a shift you are going through. You are evolving. This is your body begging you to pay attention, so be aware of your feelings and your thoughts and the rest will all fall into place if you continue to always come back to the breath.

To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. - Buddha

_()_

[jazzflutist]

@ClaudeMcBanister : Make sure you stay away from alcohol. Alcohol - even one drink - causes depression, and anxiety. That may not be your problem, but I just thought I'd mention it for others. Alcohol causes depression. I'd give up all anti-depressants. A true anti-depressant has NO side effects. I'd switch to something like marijuana while coming off the pills - it's been in the Chinese pharmocopaeia for over 4,000 years.

[Kdawg25]

@ClaudeMcBanister

Keep at it! I had bad anxiety and depression and turned to yoga and meditation. It's not easy in the beginning but it's somethign you have to work at. I've been doing it atleast once everyday for the past 6 months and I'm telling you it really opens up your mind and smooths out any inner edginess. Meditation is something I can't live without now

[bhaugart]

@ClaudeMcBanister Hi, In order to get benefit from Med., You must believe it is just for you. It will help you to cure your depression. Med. is nothing but just a process to going to your real self. Meditation is not magic or it won't create any miracle for you. But, It will help you to cure all suffering and will give you the understanding of Life.So, No mater how you feel, You must do meditation for 10-30 mins a day at once. You won't need teacher to do meditation, You are your own teacher.

@ClaudeMcBanister Hey there claude, I originally started yoga and meditation to deal with depression because I was getting worse on anti-depressants 10 yrs ago. It was the most beneficial step I have taken in my life. I am now a yogi and am a ray of sunshine to all who come into my life. You can do it easily, and the benefits you will definitely see in a short time.

I have full faith in you there is a power within you capable of anything.

take charge the power is yours

@ClaudeMcBanister You need to make sure you do absolutely nothing for 5 to 10 minutes after your meditation. If you meditate and then jump right back into daily life, your mental energy will be all out of wack. Also look up some grounding exercises. In a mental sense, meditation elevates your mind, but you should not leave it up there and go about the day, there are very specific grounding exercises you can do after meditation. Hope that helps.

@ClaudeMcBanister

To download a day's stress I normally mediate in the evening when I can clean and ease my mind and body, then enjoy a good night sleep. Also meditation in the early morning, that give me a lot of pure energy to perform in the day. "Letting Go" is important during the meditation, let go those images or thoughts you have during the meditation. Free your mind and body. Can try head massage afterwards to stimulate your energy flow. Mei Lan.

@ClaudeMcBanister The meditation is a path for your entire redemption take it more seriously day by day and you are going to be more and more happier I LOVE YOU completely so you will listen to me

[comanchio1976]

@ClaudeMcBanister Hope you dont mind me asking...but how are you now?

[ClaudeMcBanister]

@comanchio1976

Thank you for asking. I'm not going to lie but i'm awful. I dont think i have depression. I think it is depersonalisation/derealisatio­n. Meditation probably will help, but ive read that it can cause depersonalization in some people. Im kind of stuck in this spiritual/philisophical rut where i question everything and i believe that ultimately my existence is pointless. Literally everything i experience i question it and its really really horrible. I appreciate your concern though.

[comanchio1976]

@ClaudeMcBanister That's awful. I'm a great believer in the benefits of meditation, but it's by no means a cure all. I work in mental-health and will message you if t hat's OK.

@ClaudeMcBanister meditation works like homeopathy, even at a slower pace. You never realize when you improved and how much you have improved. What you are experiencing is just temporary and you would start feeling same or less depressed after a few days. it takes 3-6 months for meditation to transform you. TIP: do not eat non vegetarian food, fast food, alcohol, and nicotine etc. talk less and ave lots of water. do pranayam before meditation. it is must. for more deatils feel free to contact.

really awesome! i tried while the video was playing and almost instantly felt very relaxed. i also lost track of time and when i opened my eyes again i had no idea how much time had passed (the clock showed 7 minutes though). Even now a while after i stopped i feel affected of the meditation. will be doing this daily from now on!

[3n50ph]

I appreciate you very much for taking the time for developing these productions. I honestly hope life works in your favor.

[mentalvagabond]

A question! I have taught myself a relaxation technique to fall asleep at night which I have used for many years. I lie on my back, hands crossed over my chest, focus on darkness and my breathing my only thoughts are of heavy arms and legs, pushing into the bed, then I can feel it begin. I seem to enter a place between awake and sleep I can stay there or fall asleep. Is this mediation or something else? Should I be using this type of technique or have I taught myself some bad skills?

[wolfhomme]

Thank you. That was great. The feeling was wonderful. From now on I will remember this. I just discovered you. I want to let you know that I am adding you to my Channels.,
