How to Meditate?

[piekopjotterpedro]

Does she got a lisp or a tonge piercing.... Btw How did i get on this part of youtube

[JasonGafar]

This lady clearly doesn't know anything about meditation...

[SeatownGreen]

She is pretty!

[dunner079]

ye 15 mintues is just a warm up.you need to be doing half an hour at least.she does not know what she is talking about really.

[obeawoman]

i dont know if this happens to everyone else that meditates but near to the end i breath through pursed lips open my eyes and i can see what looks like my breath blowing a clear hole through smoke which is just above my face. i usually lie down by the way. does anyone know what the smoke is? it happens every time.

[cooldog60]

You look very sexy.

[summerstone7]

you are beautiful

[TheBuddhaLight]

It does not depend on the length of meditation but the time one takes to focus clearly on the present. If someone can meditate well within fifteen minutes then that may be so.

Do not stray toward rating different things or categorizing things into "good", or "bad", accept things how they really are.

[689ann]

why do u talk so much?

[parisprada777]

Lilou-your videos are always well informed and interesting, but wouyld be so much more enjoyable and I would watch every day if the sound was better. maybe u can use a different mike or sound system?

[AdventuresOfDAR]

wow i just meditated for the first time, and wow.. my head is so clear only thing im thinking about is this, i cant think of anything else if i tried, its amazing.

i saw images after i was stable? i guess. first one was waves in an ocean the second was the shore and coast then the third i saw inside of my head like the shape of my skull from the inside, crazy stuff, so glad i looked into this.

[jin54363]

this is not meditation at all

[jin54363]

about meditation watch this

[19ufo47]

What is it with these meditation Youtube videos and beautiful women?

[HealingMudras]

do You meditate? every day? even 10 minutes... do You meditate and empty your mind?

[fntime]

@HealingMudras You should try to meditate daily.

There are a number of goals for meditation, usually examining you

thoughts and the egoistic mind that create them, is the goal.

When you examine your thoughts, you will find they for the most

part aren't volitional. At some point you will 'meet' the creator of

your thoughts and you will see, that your thoughts are not necessarily

true and your 'belief system' is controlling your thoughts & you.

Good Luck!!!

[HealingMudras]

@fntime I actually DO... thank you... and also lead a group of meditators.. my comment to the video is if you look close... the capital letters are " YOU" ... addressed to Lilou...

[fntime]

If you intend to meditate only 15 minutes,

I doubt you will get the benefits that she

speaks of. I find it takes me 10-20 minutes

to 'warm up'! 15 minutes is just a 'boost'

when you don't have time, But, effective

meditation, I have found, needs 30-60

minutes, more is even better.

[zilbe333]

@fntime I must agree. Even I with years of practice can go to state in 10 minutes,but that doesent mean you are done. you need at minimum your age number. 30-60 is good. 15 minits is just warm up.

[LunaSeaSane]

According to professionals, it's:

45 mins - Exercises / 15 mins - Meditation

[fntime]

@LunaSeaSane Which professionals? Professional meditators, (lol), I'm not laughing at you, just the concept is weird. And to reiterate, longer is better when meditating. One of the meditations that I do, is the Meditation of Negation, no thought. In the beginning, I could only do this for a few minutes, but over time, I've increased it. Luna, I'm interested in what you are trying to accomplish by meditating. If you want to discuss this more, why don't you send me an e-mail.

[LunaSeaSane]

By professionals, I meant Gurus. Instructors; poeple who have learned & practised this for a number of years and have developed techniques in order to make the experience easier on you. I bet most people only meditate but make no physical preparation before meditation.

Sure we can talk about it, time.

[Slyfer7]

@fntime Everyone is different. There is no one size fits all.

[TheCarvalc]

i would love to meditate with you! and this chick isn't weird about meditation all the other videos are so weird.

[nysyc]

God lady you are you trying to convince. It sounds like your trying to convince yourself it works. Take it one day at a time without expectation and do it for a greater understanding of your who are, so you can evolve past your selfish desires and serve the world like a prophet to help others. She is doing this to boost her ego and so she can watch herself on the internet. There is a depth of the human mind with its wants and needs go beyond it. Meditiation is a tool for doing just that

[TheyFeedingULies]

@nysyc I don't think she is trying to convince anyone. She is just very enthused about meditation b/c it actually does work. I believe she just wants everyone to experience to peace and tranquility that u get when u meditate. This is ironic coming from me b/c I'm the most anxious person I know, but when I do meditate it works as a natural sedative with no negative side effects. I would be doing injustice if I tried to put into words the feeling I get from meditation.

[perstefekim]

Meditation helps me holding my colitis ulserosa in remision.Meditation with good food makes me smile and welcoming the morning as a new life every day....

[allsmilesin2010]

Can the numbers be replaced with words such as love, joy,peace,hope,wealth...?

[ExplosiveNutSack]

think for yourself...question authority

[SuperEarther]

"discipline"?????

Bullshit, meditation is about freedom of expressing yourself and a personal way of finding your true self. Do it your own way people.

[me128166]

@SuperEarther it's all about being to yourself. meditation has been WAY modified over years. no one's meditation is exactly the same. do it the way the most pleasing to you, and if you want true beneifts, please do at LEAST half and hour to forty five minutes. i do an hour in the morning and evening and it is VERY relaxing that way

[SuperEarther]

thats what i just said about expression. Still not sure if you can define time periods on this tho.

[StudsTheExtreme]

if you think she is not teaching or advising correctly fntime,

why do you not sugguest the time one should meditate.

Or closing the eyes maybe expand on that. Just some friendly advice.

[fntime]

If you only meditate 15 minutes a day,

you are not getting any where near the benefits.

It would be the same as if you did only

2 pushups, to condition your body!

Frankly, I think she is a 'poser'! No matter

how well intended.

Closing your eyes? That is not a good

idea, it makes you susceptible to phantasms or false images.

[SCMalone]

I have nothing and never did. It is the way it is and cannot be other wise.

[AshRNand]

no one can you teach meditation.

[Hawaiiancosmoguy]

What a beautiful women...

[maneatingtoilet]

I find it hard to stop my mind wandering, so should I let my mind wander if it happens and once I notice discard the thoughts and start counting from 5 again?

[JPMian]

Indeed you can and she does say to in the video. But if you find that to restricting, instead of discarding, acknowledge your thoughts and follow them do not alter change or interfere just simply observe them and if they grow let them, if one passes and another comes allow it. The whole time being or staying conscious of your breath for that is your guide and you guard. At least in this meditation style.

[Nickl245]

lmao thats levitate

[thetexasguy]

id love to meditate with you. If youre ever in the Dallas area give me a shout. We could get our collective energies flowing.

[cyberdaemon]

You sound like "its easier to fuck us" instead of "its easier to focus" :D

[cyberkid111]

lol... you have a good user name. : )

[Zerocreature]

haha... there was a scene in Hellboy 2 where a man with a french accent says "focus", and it was the same. I mean this only in good humor, not insultingly.

[annmarielws]

I am a complete beginner and found it hard to keep still for 15 whole minutes but practice will make perfect, I hope.

Thank you sooooo much for this video .

[ciceronissimo]

15 minutes? lol...it is not even the time to close the eyes...not even the time to get into a meditative state. Are you really sure what meditaion is?

:O))

[zenforaday]

you can meditate for 15 minutes.

[y0utube1legand]

this video is great for beginners like me, she is good to advice for 15 minutes--and it works to get more mental clarity and relaxation. im not looking to be some great guru meditating for days, im just a simple man, and this video is great for me, maybe not for you great guru . thankyou lilou

[littlepebble2]

"Anti Christ" is "Lord Maitreya".

He is truly "Lucifer" himself !

"Little Pebble" & "Father Jean-Marie" defeat "Lord Maitreya"!

[darkmile15]

So you are saying......that the one whom ends the world, reaps the harvest is the anti christ? i thought that was the christ, the dude, who you know, kills everyone at the end....

[Hakiblack]

You're saying that like it's a bad thing. Christian Sheep, bahhhh, you fool.

[cosmc77]

All this 'power and energy' are similar to the 1st and 2nd layer of an onion, you need to reach the 'core' (aka The Source) of an 'onion' in order to achieve the light above light. The 'core' contain all your aka overself, innerself, He, I (or any names according to your religion).

Since born, human carry "3 things" =

"Me, myself and I".....

Who is me? Who is myself? And who is I?

There's so much way and hard to access inner/over self...but there's one easier way..no need to meditate :)

[makemyownway]

the core contains nothing, and everything. because there is no core,overself and innerself only mind "ego"

enjoy your onion my friend, its seems heavy to carry.

[liljoe3106]

thankyou for this video :D

[needinsight]

do you get visions??

[Lequebecois6]

Je la trouve pas si belle

méditation is only for relaxing our spirit

[chumbawomba]

WOW! Elle est trop belle,

but meditation is not about feeling ANYTHING!!!

She is talking about relaxation and energising the body - meditation is about feeling, being NOTHINGNESS!

[chumbawomba]

WOW she's hot!!!

I will meditate just because she told me too!

[ladyrose4545]

have you reach astral body using this method

[washyourhairpooch]

"Lilou was born in Santa Barabara, California in August 1977 from French parents. She grew up in Nantes (France) and has been living in the United States from November 2000 until July 2008, after graduating from Oxford Brookes University (UK) and ESC La Rochelle (France) with a BA in European Business Studies."

[washyourhairpooch]

OMG I'm not sure she's an american. OMG She has an accent!!!!

[perdurabo1]

15 minutes a day?Make your sesions 30-45 minutes atleast and do them 2-3 times in one row with brakes for walking meditation only then you will feel what it means meditation!

[frankiboy1111]

My comment is about the way meditation is presented in this video

[frankiboy1111]

This is sooo american...omg

[DailySmokerWien]

eigentlich überhaupt nicht

[CanadaOwnsYou]

So what if it's sooo american? I'm Canadian (Clearly) and I still enjoy meditation very much.

[frankiboy1111]

My comment is about the way meditation is presented in this video

[ZenSlider]

I agree, it is soo American. Especially the wording. "Awesome" isn't usually used by adults outside of the US and Canada. In fact, when I was a kid people didn't use it after adolescence. A pleasant video anyhow.

[Daniyoyo]

now thats beautiful..even the way she speak is a lil cute..i think i'm in love hahahah

[Calminmind]

a few other ideas- When you have a thought during meditation. Let your next IN breath cirlce it in the mind and remove it on the exhale.

[Utubeprema]

If any thoughts come up, notice them and let it go, dont dwell on the thoughts and get frustrated, it will be difficult at first, untill your brain interupts your normal pattern and gets used to the new pattern of discarding recurring thoughts. It's like learning to play a musical instrument, practice everyday until you master the instrument.

[Texturedscarfs]

for me.. i think if i were to think of myself as exhaling out my mind i may have a seizer. Anyone know why?

[mrcuteblackie]

she is soooooooo beautiful. I wll meditate on her!!!

[Daniyoyo]

true to that

[mynintendobroke]

@mrcuteblackie  so very agreed.

[hockeyhubbub]

@mrcuteblackie 100% in agreement! I meditate about her too!

[Jupiter98111]

I've been fairly consistent with meditation since I found this video, but I CAN'T stop thinking about anything and everything durring the whole time!

I'm thinking that I'll get better at it but I don't know.

How do you stop the random thoughts and get the benifits of meditation??

[LPGfan]

Jupiter98111: there are five techniques for reducing the random thoughts and benefiting from meditation:

1) practice

2) practice

3) practice

(you get the idea)

There are many "tips" but what I did in the beginning is try to achieve "quiet" for one breath. After you get good at that, try two, and so on. Beginners try 20-30 minutes max. After a few months, you should be able to sit for 20 minutes without squirming, then longer and longer. Long sits are a different experience.

[babs5005]

She kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon

[devongreenlaw123]

umm

no

[babs5005]

Well. . . .I think she does. So there :P

[merfwriter]

Have any paranormal stuff happend to you like a spirit wispering in your ear. I was in a meditative state that I had never been in before. My mind was clear of thought, my eyes felt heavy and I was suddenly aware of my breathing. I was in that state for about a minute when I out of the darkness of my closed eyes I heard a male voice whisper in my ear "hello". I was so startled by it that my eye flung open. I thought I was going crazy. I would give anything to experience it again.

[mrcuteblackie]

cling not to experience. et experience, be it earthly or spiritula, happen by itself. That is the joy of being that I attained. A state of doing, and non-achievement. The doing does by itseldf. There is noone doing it.

[captnmike642]

Thank you and Blessings to you.

[ehtep]

Hello Lilou, can you please teach the people or post a vid on how to meditate when you sleep...Can you teach us how to breath when we are not doing it automatically.

Thank you so much, God bless you, namaste.

[FikiNom]

yes please do teach us that

[jelopysloppy]

thank you

[NeskaBean]

This is a wonderful guide. Once again - merci, Lilou!!

[SKCFILM]

Oh to be perfect!

[wingobingo]

hey thanks.... i spilt my tea

[kbloodshot5]

great video.

what kind of accent do you have?

=]

[cmatthews926]

Is this similar to Transcendental meditation?

[evan711heaven]

no this form is strictly releasing and emptying of stress in a day..transcendental is more of a focus and contemplative meditational practice...personally though, i would suggest combining prayer with meditation practices as a tool to help focus in prayer.

[cmatthews926]

Cool. Thanks

[evan711heaven]

anytime my good friend.

[tundrasheep]

thanks, going to give this a try :)

[kmrang]

wow.. you are amazing. thank you so much. This is the best use of Youtube i have ever seen.

[alonnakyle]

I am going to try that. What do it do clear your mind.

[andrewdick]

your popped collar rocks

[anniina00]

Is it just as good if you meditate at night just before going to bed for 10 minutes? Cause I'm not a morning-person and at least at first I'd like to do just 10 min cause 15 feels so long.

Anniina

[liloumace]

Yes. evening are great too. anytime!

[godalex4real]

Antonio,

It is a greeting: Literally "I bow to you" but implicitly "the divine with in me greets the divine within you".

Hi Lilou! Enjoyed the video. xxxooo

[livingwithintention]

I've been silently meditating by focusing on my breath. I have also done Japa meditation introduced to me by Wayne Dyer (Getting in the Gap and Meditations for Manifestation) which involved chanting "Ah." I have never done the counting as you have demonstrated here. I will definitely give it a try. I think it is good to try different techniques.

Thanks Lilou.

Love,

- Sue xxoo

[antoniosjourney]

WHht does "namaste" mean? I've heard others mention it.

[godalex4real]

It is a greeting: Literally "I bow to you" but implicitly "the divine with in me greets the divine within you".

[antoniosjourney]

Alright, I think I may want to try to meditate more regularly now. It's been a little difficult recently, but, you've motivated me to try and be more discipled now. THANKS, my dear! XOXO!

[todieandwither]

Thank you for sharing your experience w/ meditation. That would be too much going on for me to truly meditate.

If I cannot clear my mind I will count but I try to just focus on my breath.

[vrajavala]

Lilou there are two kinds of meditation : impersonal and personal. The latter is preferred because what the purpose of meditation is to connect with God. that is the meaning of the word yoga.

[roeaster]

good stuff!

[gerry2345]

great vid Lilou.

[VibeAsia]

Great!! Thanks for sharing..I was looking for some technique that helps me relax also..I am learning a lot about myself through the help of my 100 day challenge..Season 1 has been a great experience so far..Peace and Love..

[liloumace]

yes, the 100 day challenge is amazing! I am happy to hear you are fully using this awesome structure and community!

[earthflake]

mercy bien madam.
