Awesome video

WOW! I'm currently detoxing from methadone and nothing short of drugs will make me feel better.....or so I thought. Meditation is very hard withdrawing because of the restlessness, I did this for 6 minutes....only 6 minutes because that's, and I felt such a surge of energy and peacefullness, gonna go ride a bike now, but I had to lie down. Of course it was only a few minutes, but it was relief, I am going to do this multiple times a day now, until I get better at it. Great vid!.

This stuff really doesn't work... it's all loosely based information. Maybe it's just me but I can't believe non-hard evidence... it just doesn't make sense imho.

[WakeUp2Love]

@eagleduzt the only evidence you need is your own personal experience. Once you practice and reach new states of mind then you know it works. I am grateful to have had such experiences as a teen, but it's hard for many to get out of their mind.

Thanks for this video. Far too many people try to make meditation more complex than it already is. Perhaps that is why so many people can't do it. This video is a simple, yet effective approach. There is only one way to describe meditation. Focusing on one thing. I think that is meditation in it's simplest form. Thanks for your input.

@ThisFlat Hi, I am an Iranian and I do meditation in an other way, as Rumi taught me. We stand up in the morning and think and think and think when we are alone.....whole day long about past or (near) future. Rumi says past times does not exist in real. It only exists in our mind (memory). Future will come and will be past. So what you need to do is not thinking at all. Free of thoughts.

[MrGodkid]

Buddhists should be the most revered of the world: though they are carnal, yet they are not lawless; though they are free, yet they wait with us; though they are superhuman, yet they follow judgement first. And have you met a Buddhist who has transcended this life? I tell you, you have met someone who has gone to be with God.

Thank you

[ruzickaw]

this is a too general introduction. Most people cannot be aware of their breathing

just like that. It needs some breathing exercises before you can start observing.

Sakyong, I found this video through reference of a friend. I, too, believe that I meditate constantly. I thinks it is about being aware of what my mind is aware of. Thank you for the video. Namaste.

[beroset]

Thank you for posting these wonderful videos that are so encouraging.

[fullmetal426]

ooohhh, so when people say "meditate on it" it could mean 'get familiar with it' that makes sense :)

[eagletree2006]

Meditation changed the way I think
