What I always try to encourage is that we really know why we are meditating...
Meditation by just posture is not going to work, the attitude is important. So the view and attitude is "Why am I meditating?"Because it is the mind that's mediating, it is our attitude, it's ourselves...
Today I would like to talk about how to meditate and learning to meditate and in particular just what the approach is and attitude is.

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!.

@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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.
