 Hey, it's David here again, and I'm going to talk about meditation is meditation bullshit Best part about meditation is that the inner peace and tranquility you get from it stays with you for the rest of your day As long as everything stays as quiet and controlled as it does during your meditation Which shouldn't be a problem well Is meditation bullshit? Well, yes and No, yes, and no the problem with meditation is That people have expectations about what it is and what it's going to do for them Okay, so I see an awful lot of people online talking about oh here is my plan for meditation and I'm going to meditate for this long for the next few weeks or months and There's always an underlying assumption that it's going to have this transformative Effect on their life on their mentality on their outlook and their perception now The truth is there is nothing transformative about meditation right meditation is Not an end in itself Meditation is a way to get you to a place or to a mindset Where you are clear in thought and you do see things differently it changes It helps change your perception. That is it. That is all it does now What do I mean by that right? meditation is particularly in today's society Vitally important because we have so many distractions going on We have all the social media all these movies all this music all this entertainment jobs that are stressful Relationships that are stressful a million different things going on in our lives And we're kind of bombarded with things right now with all of this Input right like think about it when we were hunter-gatherers for hundreds thousands years We were out in nature all the time and we were just doing what was obvious Just hunt and gather to survive not really that stressful In terms it was stressful, but it was your mission was clear You knew what you had to do and you just did it, but now we have all these options all this uncertainty in life And so with all of that going on Meditation is basically all it is it's a way for you to quiet your mind. Just be become quiet Right become quiet. That is it From that point once you quiet your mind you start to receive different Perceptions right your life the way you used to see your life prior to meditation changes slightly every time you do it okay, so Meditation is not the thing meditation When it's described as this transformative thing in and of itself is bullshit but Meditation will bring you to a place where you can start to perceive things differently Right, and you will start to look at things in your life in a different way You start to see things that upset you before slightly differently that is What transformation is all about it's all about changes in the perception the way you think about things, okay? So it's through that that you change you grow Your life becomes easier and more enjoyable and you become more useful as a person You're more effective in what you do and you know what you need to do so Where does that leave us in terms of what should I do meditation? Yes, okay do meditation But don't make it a chore for yourself. Okay meditation is Particularly important When you see yourself getting upset when you know you're pissed off when you know things are on top of you Right when you know things are not going your way when you know You're about to go into a spiral Okay, where you lose control and things get away from you. It's in those instances where meditation needs to be Practiced to quiet the mind before you can see things differently You can't see things differently when things are out of control if you don't quiet the mind if you don't stop the stream of Negativity that's coming at you or that you're generating through your beliefs and your thoughts so Do meditation? Don't make a chore of it do it regularly and don't do don't do this thing like I see an awful lot of people doing You have to meditate for half an hour a day. You have to I meditate for two hours a day So I'm really good right just think of think of it as Maybe a couple times a day. I'm going to be still for a moment and just see where that stillness takes you Sitting that for as long as you feel necessary And that's it. There's no big secret to it. Okay, it's not gonna, you know, you're not going to Start seeing visions Sorry to tell you you're not going to start seeing visions. It's about your life It's about the day-to-day stuff that's going on in your life That is what life is all about It's that's what it's all about. Okay, so let me know what you think about this and It's my annoy a few people But you know, there is a use for meditation, but it's not this voodoo magic thing that people think it is So that's my thoughts on it guys and I will talk to you again soon
