There is a quality of voice that all of the introspective , meditating self help gurus all seem to share and for some reason I just can't seem to pay attention to them. Why is that?
@purity4all this is just a possibility but perhaps you had a bad experience with this "quality of voice" and it's lying somewhere in your sub-conscience. maybe a subconscious fear that you may loose a part of yourself by fully listening and opening up to it?!?!
We see meditation as something to escape reality and rest. but it's more about being alert with reality. Notice when we need to think of something about work we suddenly sit upright and wake ourselves up for it. Do this for meditating and we are more there. This flows into better quality work, relationships etc.

Biggest waste of my time and energy. I couldnt deal with his annoying voice. He goes on and on and never says a fuckin thing. He's so fuckin vague it makes me sick. The pronounciation of his words makes me wanna punch him in his mouth. I just watched this stupid ass video when I could have focused it elsewhere. Don't waste your time. There are literary works that far surpass this joker. Wasnt worth a second of my time, sure as hell not an hour and 12 minutes that Ill never get back
@stllopez314 Really? I got an immense amount out of this. But then again I always like to say that theres something to learn from everything. Even if its small
@stllopez314 Wow you are upset about this. I would guess that you're not psychologically minded, especially if you watched this video on mindfulness and left a judgmental hateful comment. It's alright if what he said didn't resonate with you, but he's far from a joker. I think that you're not ready or willing to hear what he is saying.
I have realized I am constantly judging myself on everything I do, I try to slow down my pace and walk mindfully but the mind goes crazy, thoughts like "am I doing this right" and the one that is driving me nuts lately "who is it that decided to walk mindfully" then of course many more thoughts follow and I notice my pace speed up again. I feel totally lost yet liberated to admit that I don't know who I am, everything I thought I was was false. Has anybody got any advice? it would be appreciated
@PlaceForEverything01 It's part of the deal of society today. Keep practicing. Don't judge yourself if you miss a day. Try your best but remember to be gentle. Everything will get firmer with your life (even if that's becoming more comfortable in feeling totally lost).
@PlaceForEverything01 Loving kindness meditation is a practice that cultivates self-compassion, especially for those of us who are especially harsh to ourselves. Although it is hard to imagine now, through noticing your judgments you can practice letting them go versus holding on to them. We all have judgments or strange thoughts; sounds like you're gaining awareness into yours, which is a wonderful first step.
I have been practising mindfulness for about 6 months now and It really is the hardest work in the world. I constantly tell myself I will get up early to practise every morning, I will stick to a routine sleeping pattern, I will go for regular jogs, I will try to be there for my family yet I still get up late sometimes and I still find myself browsing the internet randomly it is really scary, it is also heartbreaking when I go to see family and friends and find that my mind is elsewhere...

For more instruction, you can find another video by searching youtube for the following: "Loving Kindness Meditation Instructions - First day of the Joshua Tree Retreat 2011." Also, there are a lot of fantastic videos by Youtube user, "BuddhistSocietyWA". They have helped me so hopefully you'll get something out of them.
The typical mistake is made once again, awareness over thought , subjugate thought to achieve awareness. This really is the most common mistake by all western meditation teachers, you cant just generate this ability in this fashion. Ive achieved dyhana many times other ways, suppressing thought is such a awful technique that doesnt work. You cannot detach yourself from your own mind its such a ridiculous notion if you actually analyze it for a second, youd see its just how preposterous it is!!
Meditation on mind or thoughts is the best way into "real" meditation, if you attempt to suppress thoughts they just come back harder , making true meditation impossible. You should begin to realize this is your mind even when thoughts seem to swarm. Directed thought is a fundamental component of dhyana, vitakka, when you come to understand this thought as mind, you will begin to understand mind. Then mind can become awareness. I recommend Wumen's koans in, 'Gateless gate'.
@oliverking90001 Yes you pretty much got it. As long as we dont identify with our thoughts/ego as "I" then they will have no power. We cannot stop thoughts because that requires us to be on high alert all day long. It would drive us insane. Just realize everybody that you are not your thoughts, you are the awareness of them. The space in which they pop up. Stay as that presence in the moment, without attachment or judgement, and then you will all be free.
@Nunzi1001 This is very helpful. Have been dealing w. a very annoying obsession/compulsion for more than a year and just recently decided to accept it rather than fight or judge it. It has helped. I wonder how much these ideas put into practice can help people who suffer from OCD. Does anyone here know of specific resources for meditation as it relates to helping OCD sufferers?
@funch357 Meditation surely helps in overcoming OCD.. there are various techniques.. the one which Jon Kabat is teaching is Vipassana.. you can try it out for a month and see if it helps..
Mindfulness is very important! If everyone should so this, the world would become a much nicer place :). Let's get inspired with this popular video: 2012 A Message of Hope. Has changed the lifes for a lot of people, spreading happiness
We all have to live and die, so the truth about life and death concerns and applies to us all. True or false? Search "TRUTH CONTEST" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the Truth. Let's get serious and honest about the truth of life.
I love this quote, "What we think of ourselves gets in the way of us being ourselves."- Jon Kabat-Zinn...this is the power of the ego and why we should be more mindful.
There is absolutely nothing mystical about mindfulness meditation. It is a simple, practical exercise that can help us become more present and aware in life and is has helped thousands the patients deal with chronic pain, illness and stress. We can never "get rid" of thoughts, but we can learn to slow down and observe them. This awareness and observation makes room for conscious choices as opposed to always being pushed around by our automatic reactions and preconceptions.
Meditation is overrated! You might get rid of thoughts that have nothing to do with you or your loved ones, but what about those thoughts that emerge from REAL happenings? Like, for ex., your wife has cancer (@crvc56), your home might get lost because you can't pay your mortage anymore, one of your relatives will die, etc...why do you think thoughts could ever go away through meditation as long as the REAL situation that stands behind these thoughts still exists??
@ijneb86 umm.. realism is a movement, you're not alone. but one thing that i feel is common with people that think that way, is that they can never seem to see past 'the way things are'. just because no one has proven it to you yet, does not, and can not mean that millions upon millions throughout the last 6,500 years are all wrong. you have probably never attempted to meditate more than five minutes, and are only quick to hinder others from learning to do so. you are a youtube troll, ownurrole
@ijneb86 As hemsjon says, the idea is not to make thoughts go away. Consider two people who witness a gruesome accident. They both feel terrible for the victim. The first one is overcome by the scene and vomits. The second has the presence of mind to go and help. Mindfulness is about having presence of mind.
@ijneb86 @ijneb86 I think your concern is based in misunderstanding. Good meditational practice has nothing to do with 'getting rid of' thoughts/feelings, or even avoiding them -- it's about confronting them directly with full awareness, but *without judgment*. It's OK to feel anything in meditation -- the point is to increase awareness and acceptance of one's stream of consciousness. If not anything else, it's a journey of self-discovery in which you learn the 'flow' of your mind. S = PxR :)
@ijneb86 - please dont form the impression that meditation = no action, it is not a surrogate for doing what you are supposed to do.. meditation helps you to get grounded and face situations with equanimity and with maximum awareness..

More than twenty years ago my wife developed cancer and her oncologist enrolled us both in a meditation course based on Kabat-Zinn's appoach. What helped me to turn off the myriad thoughts running through my mind was counting to 10. Start counting and the moment your mind strays, go back to 1. It's harder than you'd think. Once you can count to 10 without having to restart you're beginning to learn meditation.
@crvc56 i have read a lot of books on the mind, thoughts, etc but just got introduced to Full Catastrophe Living. I have never meditated so I am going to start using the methods from the book. Cheers for the extra tip!
@ArbitraryLifestyle nobody seems to know what's under his shirt but i guess they're man boobs..i still can't understand the first guy..google's jarlee gu farlow?
@bihitasu Oh come on. First, it's just the way the shirt is pooching after he stood, stiff shirts do that. It flattens out later. Second...you can only comment on the state of his shirt? Try absorbing the video instead.
This man is extraordinary and unique. You an see his empathy and compassion in this exciting field called: 'mindfulness' . Try out his book called: 'Full Catastrophe Living'; you will NOT regret it!
Acually studies showes that meditation makes people even more anxious than they where before they started. Only after years of practice meditation gives any results. If your not ready to practice and wait for years its useless. Very few gain anything from meditation.
@Mjolbaggar How about a link to one of these actual studies? I've read up a lot about meditation over the past year and no where have I read anything about it causing more anxiety. I'm just curious and would appreciate a link to these studies.
@halamala23 Its causing more anxiety becose people fail and therfore they feel guilt. That gives them anxiety. In the long run it gives effect thou. But most people give up after a few times. Read M.A:West, The Psychology of Meditation(Oxford:Claendon Press, 1987)
Even though many people believe that meditation is a quick fix and think that they are immediately sages after meditating once or twice or going on retreat, which is crap. There are real studies that show that the brain structure changes drastically after 10-24 hours of meditation practice. However not "years" that's just untrue. I have been practicing mindfulness and sitting for roughly 10 months and i have experience astronomical changes.
Thumbs up if you were linked to this video and were thinking: it will be some usual 4 minutes "internet thing" clip, but realised that this is a 1h video AND eventually watched/listened/enjoyed it till the end.
@jonivaio I fit the description but thumbs down. I kept listening, hoping to get something of value, but there's absolutely nothing here. First he spends an inordinate amount of time bragging about all the smart people he's coached, then he spends an inordinate amount of time getting people to breathe and be aware of your breathing. That's it. That's fucking it. He's a genius if he can convince people (and Google execs, of all people!) to pay him big bucks to dole out shit like this.
@transitionality I forgive you for giving a negative feedback about, what seemed to me, very delightfully clever and wise person, and for giving me thumbs down although I did not ask you to do so.
It is ok that you didn't understand every word or meaning that this person was telling. Perhaps it was just me, but every sentence, every word, every thought that this person expressed was very logical, clear and true for me.
I hope you are happy with your opinion and I wish you a nice day :)
@transitionality I think you did not pay enough attention.Let me suggest you actually try to be aware of your breath for 5 minutes. That's it. You may realize of your thoughts coming one after the other and it is not such an easy task. Who knows, maybe you even realize we all have a preconditioned mind that makes us to be quite judgemental, frequently..

The purpose of mindfulness is to escape the thought-form of I/Me/My/Self.
Before you can unlock the potential of mindfulness, you need to directly see there is no You.
You are not the body, mind or perception of either thereof. The is no thinker of thought, no 'pilot' of the body, no experiencer of experience.
Life lives itself. There is nothing standing behind the camera of perception. No audience to this movie. The movie is the totality of all things.

Also, there are a lot of fantastic videos by Youtube user, "BuddhistSocietyWA". They have helped me so hopefully you'll get something out of them.

The typical mistake is made once again, awareness over thought , subjugate thought to achieve awareness. This really is the most common mistake by all western meditation teachers, you cant just generate this ability in this fashion. Ive achieved dyhana many times other ways, suppressing thought is such a awful technique that doesnt work. You cannot detach yourself from your own mind its such a ridiculous notion if you actually analyze it for a second, youd see its just how preposterous it is!!

@Gargonzolo
Meditation on mind or thoughts is the best way into "real" meditation, if you attempt to suppress thoughts they just come back harder , making true meditation impossible. You should begin to realize this is your mind even when thoughts seem to swarm. Directed thought is a fundamental component of dhyana, vitakka, when you come to understand this thought as mind, you will begin to understand mind. Then mind can become awareness. I recommend Wumen's koans in, 'Gateless gate'.
oliverking90001 4 months ago
@oliverking90001 Yes you pretty much got it. As long as we dont identify with our thoughts/ego as "I" then they will have no power. We cannot stop thoughts because that requires us to be on high alert all day long. It would drive us insane. Just realize everybody that you are not your thoughts, you are the awareness of them. The space in which they pop up. Stay as that presence in the moment, without attachment or judgement, and then you will all be free.

@Nunzi1001 This is very helpful. Have been dealing w. a very annoying obsession/compulsion for more than a year and just recently decided to accept it rather than fight or judge it. It has helped. I wonder how much these ideas put into practice can help people who suffer from OCD. Does anyone here know of specific resources for meditation as it relates to helping OCD sufferers?

@funch357 Meditation surely helps in overcoming OCD.. there are various techniques.. the one which Jon Kabat is teaching is Vipassana.. you can try it out for a month and see if it helps..

We all have to live and die, so the truth about life and death concerns and applies to us all. True or false? Search "TRUTH CONTEST" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the Truth. Let's get serious and honest about the truth of life.

There is absolutely nothing mystical about mindfulness meditation. It is a simple, practical exercise that can help us become more present and aware in life and is has helped thousands the patients deal with chronic pain, illness and stress. We can never "get rid" of thoughts, but we can learn to slow down and observe them. This awareness and observation makes room for conscious choices as opposed to always being pushed around by our automatic reactions and preconceptions.

Meditation is overrated! You might get rid of thoughts that have nothing to do with you or your loved ones, but what about those thoughts that emerge from REAL happenings? Like, for ex., your wife has cancer (@crvc56), your home might get lost because you can't pay your mortage anymore, one of your relatives will die, etc...why do you think thoughts could ever go away through meditation as long as the REAL situation that stands behind these thoughts still exists??

@ijneb86 umm.. realism is a movement, you're not alone. but one thing that i feel is common with people that think that way, is that they can never seem to see past 'the way things are'. just because no one has proven it to you yet, does not, and can not mean that millions upon millions throughout the last 6,500 years are all wrong. you have probably never attempted to meditate more than five minutes, and are only quick to hinder others from learning to do so. you are a youtube troll, ownurrole
atlzdanniboi 5 months ago
@ijneb86 As hemsjon says, the idea is not to make thoughts go away. Consider two people who witness a gruesome accident. They both feel terrible for the victim. The first one is overcome by the scene and vomits. The second has the presence of mind to go and help. Mindfulness is about having presence of mind.

@ijneb86 The point isn't to make the thoughts go away. The point is to reconsider them and see them from a different perspective.
helmsjon 5 months ago
@ijneb86 @ijneb86 I think your concern is based in misunderstanding. Good meditational practice has nothing to do with 'getting rid of' thoughts/feelings, or even avoiding them -- it's about confronting them directly with full awareness, but *without judgment*. It's OK to feel anything in meditation -- the point is to increase awareness and acceptance of one's stream of consciousness. If not anything else, it's a journey of self-discovery in which you learn the 'flow' of your mind. S = PxR :)

More than twenty years ago my wife developed cancer and her oncologist enrolled us both in a meditation course based on Kabat-Zinn's appoach. What helped me to turn off the myriad thoughts running through my mind was counting to 10. Start counting and the moment your mind strays, go back to 1. It's harder than you'd think. Once you can count to 10 without having to restart you're beginning to learn meditation.

Acually studies showes that meditation makes people even more anxious than they where before they started. Only after years of practice meditation gives any results. If your not ready to practice and wait for years its useless. Very few gain anything from meditation.

Even though many people believe that meditation is a quick fix and think that they are immediately sages after meditating once or twice or going on retreat, which is crap. There are real studies that show that the brain structure changes drastically after 10-24 hours of meditation practice. However not "years" that's just untrue. I have been practicing mindfulness and sitting for roughly 10 months and i have experience astronomical changes.
