Meditation is not about something that "works" its about losing everything that doesn't work and realizing you worked perfectly all along without all the stuff. Your natural state is bliss. You have been avoiding your natural state your whole life with other stuff. Some people even are deluded by their meditative practice and it becomes a religion and becomes "stuff" which then hinders them even more. If you are wondering what new spiritual trinkets you can wear to look more spiritual that's just one example of being mislead by spirituality. Another example is someone who is so addicted to information that they become "Informationally Obese" A person who has read a thousand books and discovered a thousand things may be less enlightened than another so simply says "I will just be kind" What's missing from the world is not "How to do" The internet is littered with "How to do" It's "How to Be"
I mean asking if it "works" is a broad spectrum ranged question, mediation can be used for bodily balance for health and is to make you a more calm, patient, understanding person about your own thoughts and others so asking if it works isn't wrong lol cause it does lol and hes just discussing it to make others more aware and to have a clearer perspective on the practice
I really think you guys are forgetting there are like 100+ different forms of meditation. And all depending on which one you focus on...is the thing in which you're working on lolol
The how to do is important tho bc certain practices like meditation and yoga (bc theres a lot of different forms of that too) and magic practices need to be properly taught and researched before engaging in them bc they're very specific forms of practices created to help in very specific ways all teaching you to be a certain way yes but everyone has their own path and different types of practices that better suit them on their journey. So you need to be educated on the history of where your practices came from, the ideology that was created by the vedics before religion turned it more into rule books rather than guidebooks. To carry out any of those practices I believe needs to be respected through proper education and research and real effort finding out where these traditions came from to be aware of what they're truly for specifically
And the thing about the "trinkets" is so funny cause you're right but in a sense its still egotistical to think someone cant be prideful in their practices. And to not take into consideration the 100s of different through a 100 generations all traditionally wear certain garments and symbols and jewelry to tighten their connection to higher plane on a day to day when they're not meditating. Like wearing certain crystals to balance your energy bc you have certain anxieties or wearing tribal rings all over your fingers bc they make you feel more balanced, or like the bindi in hindu culture. Which is an example of both our points actually, bc in western cultures stupid fuckin "enlightened" ppl will put a bindi on their fuckin forehead but they're not even aware of what it represents, which a married woman in hindu culture, but it also is a symbol to enhance, balance, and ward off evil from the third eye
I got myself 16 months clean from heroin, without outside help or rehab. Largely thanks to meditation and starting my spiritual journey. You get what you look for intently. Namaste.
I’ve been on anti depressants and I’ve meditated regularly; the difference is, anti depressants lost their effectiveness over time, meditation is natural and has worked for me. I wish everyone I loved and cared about would meditate once a day because I want them to have an easier life
Wonder Woman that’s awesome, I’m currently going through a block in my meditation where it seems like I can’t focus and get in a meditative state. Do u have any tips to get around this?
@@frankdeezy5945 hi, have you downloaded the headspace app? You get 10 free meditations for beginners and it helps me get back into meditating and reminds me of the techniques to use. I wouldn’t pay for membership because every basic meditation is the same. But the techniques are great for calming, relaxing, breathing, and getting you into that space where you can carry on meditating. I listen to a ten minute meditation and when it’s finished, I carry on for another ten minutes, letting thoughts come and go, and gently guiding my thoughts back to my breathe. Not denying thoughts or resisting them, but letting them fly by, and gently guiding my mind back to the breathe. I find headspace free meditation starts me off and gets me into the chilled, relaxed, meditative state of mind. The honest guys also have excellent meditations here on RUclips. Wish you well!
Tyler Breeze - just throwing in my 2 cents. Let it be. Just watch the “block” and lack of focus. Just be with it and know it’s passing and is allowed to be there as much as anything else. Presence let’s it be.

I did my "modern day philosopher" project on you like 4 yrs ish back and ppl thought I was stupid for choosing you till they saw my presentation. Just wanna let you know Im fucking proud of you every day I see you bc how much you've changed your life, you're definitely someone I look up to and who has helped refine parts of who I am I love it and just wanna remind you how much of a difference you've helped and are helping make. You're a beautiful soul thank you for being here with us
I've only been meditating about five months. I love it so much. More amazingly, the people in my household all seem to be getting along so much better. I would not have believed that a change in my disposition would have had such a significant impact in the people that I interact with daily.
Yes. Children in inner city schools who were at risk for violence had higher grades better coping skills and slept better when they were taught TM to reduce stress.
@@fzuzka I am a career pediatric RN. I learned TM in 1974 as a 'hippie chick' and have used it since. Never too late to incorporate it into your daily routine. It's wonderful! ♡
Some people teach babies to meditate, allowing the baby to either be floating in warm water or not stimulating them in any way just allowing them to be safe, enjoy the sun and encouraging the feeling of happiness, it's the same for adults.
I had tried a meditation app, after a few sessions sensed enough to understand I could, with practice, possibly achieve an altered conciousness. I haven't meditated in a while, I know I need to, but I did eventually achieve a new perspective. Even if only for a while afterward, stress, depression, lack of control in my life took a back seat. The world could be viewed with a new perspective, the world would be a much better place if everyone could reset their mind and stop their endless thought processes of depression, hatred, and hopelessness.
Asking if meditation "works" implies that it is a means to some end, which, theoretically, it shouldn't be. That's part of my struggle with meditation -- should I just randomly be inspired to do it "just because," or should I do it because I know it's good for me?
I mean asking if it "works" is a broad spectrum ranger question, mediation can be used for bodily balance for health and is to make you a more calm, patient, understanding person about your own thoughts and others so asking if it works isn't wrong lol cause it does lol and hes just discussing it to make others more aware
That is a really excellent question. In my experience, it is best if you meditate "just because" with an open mind. If you go in with the mindset that it is supposed to be working on something, you will get frustrated when nothing happens (this happened to me when I started). Maybe this conundrum exists is because meditation exceeds some form of logic ?
If I say something like “hey, I’m joining a mens group” it changes every person that hears this, no different with any other group, the serendipity of connections is the ripple effect, not the actions. Marketing uses these processes, we should learn them back into our lives for betterment.
Is that you Bernard Shaw? A grand master with a grand beard. Yes to physical presence in a group. Meditation is so much more powerful in a group. It is called entrainment I think. Radiation of a state. Animals feel it fastest. Look at how a whole heard of cattle will lie down for a rest at the same time.
Medical Interest absolutely, yes we herd about, I love using serendipity for my things of interest, like drawing a slug on the sidewalk, suddenly a whole new thing begins, we can use it. If we don’t use it, we lose it. The beard is a snap chat beard, I learn more from my children, just as we should. I meditated on nothing and something came along. I concentrate on something, then I need a friend, or a holiday, same thing. Why leave out the world, when it can solve all the worlds problems? Cells grow, brain cells grow too, we need time for new thoughts or we need another brain to join our troubles.
@@mellonglass Yes to making life interesting. I presently have a really long beard and look like the European version of Jesus. Blue eyes and honey blond hair hanging over my shoulders, going gray. With sunglasses I look like a muppet and feel quite anonymous. My fun is in healing people and jokingly saying Halalujah, praise da Lorrrd and Thaaaank yoh Jayzus. It seems to work because the recipients laugh and feel better. Being tall and strong has probably rescued me from crucifixion :) so far.
@@mellonglass Yes, Jesus is a word that can be used anywhere. I just responded to Peter Stone's sermon. Some one told me that all people who follow a guru are miserable, snivelling hypocrits. Is this true? Christians certainly are :)
Meditation works for me and this is my experience. Deep breathing first to focus the mind and lower the heart rate. When breathing out, rest in your heart centre. This helps stop the internal dialogue. Once your brain slows down it's chatter, just observing, then you become present, in the moment. You can hear the birds sing, and have a greater awareness then LET GO, allow yourself to let go, go deep into the darkness and loose yourself, there your being becomes part of consciousness, you are multidimensional. You cease to be your body,. You are energy that is connected to every-thing. Group or mass meditation can change the vibration of the general consciousness on earth to a higher state of frequency if there are enough people taking part, however it has to be above a critical mass. This is normally hosted by a master who guides the meditation. You would focus on blessings, healing and bringing forth brilliant white light from the divine and channel it to all the beings and also the earth it's self, these type of meditations run parallel to astrological events, like last Thursday morning for example where to new moon was at its strongest at 09.00 am London time.
If someone tells u u shouldn't be making ur self happy you have the right to give them the finger and go f them self not sound harsh but thats what they get for trying put people down karma. Keep Meditating bud. :)
yeah... I fell out of the habit two months ago, after I managed it for the first time in my life to keep it up quite easily for a few weeks... I fell down that rabbithole of consuming the news in the light of recent events and am still struggling to find my way back from there... I know, with meditation I feel better, but just now I don't even know why, I simply don't start meditating again... strange thing
@@CIIZARmusic Thanks for responding. As you know, there is a lot mental illness arising in society due to the lock downs. Meditation is the healthy way to protect oneself from picking up the distress of the world. Ten deep breaths always centers me and gives me awareness of what tension I am holding in my body. The choice to relax becomes available. Good luck. and cheers from the lucky country. Australia.

There is no unseen world. Each one can live in their full potential if they enjoy focusing within oneself and wait for inspired thoughts and action. Unfortunately no one has the patience or no one knows how to enjoy this inward focusing of waiting....for your own high potential life in terms of thoughts and right synchronicities.
I watched Russell’s video on meditation for beginners today as it was my first time trying it, and I felt so spaced out afterwards in a good way. The only thing I could compare it to was being slightly stoned but without hitting or toking a joint, does this make sense ?
The whole foundation of Sikhism is meditation we sit in the early hours of the morning focus our eyes on the third eye to remove 5 passions which the mind is caught in a net which are lust,anger,greed,attachment and ego once we do this we listen to the music of the soul from within not our ears externally but internally listen to a melody of silence, Namaste
We’re all vastly different and the same method will not work for all of us. If you have a hard time being still, walking meditations and sound healing may work better.
practicing meditation lessens the inflammatory response in people exposed to psychological stressors, particularly for long-term meditators. According to neuroscience research, mindfulness practices dampen activity in our amygdala and increase the connections between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Both of these parts of the brain help us to be less reactive to stressors and to recover better from stress when we experience it.
Thank you so much Russell. Learning Transcendental meditation from your videos and Under The Skin has helped me overcome my addictions once rooted by destructive external means.
Hi Russel, have been listening to you for years. Still doing my same old shit, work , scurry, make money, scurry, survive, bring up kids, panic, worry, happy, sad, etc. you have helped, however, all this spiritual stuff makes me feel good but won’t make my family feel good if I don’t produce the goods. I think we are about to change as a society but a lot of people are going to get a an awakening that they were not expecting in any way. Hope you answer, probably not! Peace and love .
Thanks Russel, great minds at work. My opinon, there is no limitation what mass meditation can do. On a higher and selected frequence band we would be able to adjust our vibration alongside the electron of the atomic structure and would therefore be able to create through thought only.
I like the opening bit, it really all rests on the idea that all matter/consciousness is connected, as if the we are still connected from before the big bang happened. 🌏 🔥
Thats not how sum of sounds works bro, if you put 2 loudspeakers next to each other, lets say of 70 decibels, they won't multiply the loudness by 4 like you said (280 DB), that just stupid to think about, they would produce 73 DB together.
Transcendental meditation works. You and you alone are what you perceive you are...when you take control and responsibility of what you percieve...then that is who you will be. I believe this starts with music as it changes your mood...you are able to take this in yourself...no one can do this but you yourself...you are able to balance what you percieve...you can balance the good and evil perceptions when you,realize your weaknesses...this can only be done by going within...when you pinpoint the problem...which can only get there through PAIN. Once you pinpoint the WHY'S you can correct this in how you PERCEIVE....what hurts can be fixed if you want to take the time.
I suggest, don't intellectualize it (meditation) so much, but rather do it. Get others to do it with you and see how it feels. Remember there is always freedom of choice. The effects of group meditations for instance, to increase peace, love and harmony in the world, elevates those vibrations so that they are readily available and more desirable than their opposite vibrations, so like a river, consciousness may follow the path of least resistance bringing about more peace, love and harmony in the external world. The more important question might be for each of us to experience the answer to, "how does meditation effect me?" Meditation is letting go and allowing, and rather than making something happen, letting it happen. The cork naturally bobbs up to the top of the water, because that is the nature of it. In the same way, Peace, Love and Harmony are our natural state in being, so given the opportunity, we will naturally float to the top of that.
hello matey -- i love your programs and you. Meditation is powerful when you use it as a visualization tool and yes it can transform you and the effects you enable around you. As it is taught - change you and everything else around you changes and meditation in a group is more powerful if you have developed virtues like patience and compassion and begin to practice it in order to accumulate merit so you can dedicate the merit produced to your aims.
If we again want truth, the child is the best honesty, adults too quickly find spooks, children will play happily in any awful spot of previous atrocities or dislike our sterility of perfectionism and break it, snap the flowers, and trample our ego. Have we not seen the field of poppies?
Meditation frustrates me. Especially guided meditation. I keep coming back to it because I want to be able give my brain and body a rest, but I just sit there trying to let go and relax while thinking about some argument I got into when I was 14. Guided meditation is especially frustrating, when I've got someone telling me to visualise a light scanning through my body. I end up more focused on why I can't do that than actually meditating. I'll keep coming back though.
I've practiced meditation for over a decade; and I can say without a doubt - that it has positively affected my life. To the point where I am no longer homeless. There are other extraordinary things which I don't feel comfortable sharing on such a public platform, which have occurred and continue to occur; however... the greatest benefit has been how the lens through which I see myself has shifted greatly; and this leads me more towards a desire to connect with people on a deeper level. When I look at people... I can have an argument with them; but I no longer confuse their thinking, opinions, or their behavior with who they are at the core as a fellow spiritual being. Therefore, I can disagree with them totally; and even their value system; yet (at my best) feel compassion towards them in their own journey and wish them well; even if they are attacking me. It is not that I don't protect myself; or that I am naive; it is simply that, again, I don't confuse a temporal personality shift or even underlying life current with LIFE FORCE and LIFE INTELLIGENCE. Therefore, when I hate someone for whatever reason; I know that I am CHOOSING to do this. I'm not perfect and doing this CAN be of benefit; just like utilizing anger as a MOTIVATING ENERGY can be of benefit when used in the right way. Great talk. And I agree. Consciousness, barring more information at the moment... indeed seems to act like a field; but NOT TOTALLY. Because then military practices of remote viewing would be limited by distance; where distortion of signal or even loss or disintegration of signal would square with the distance between the viewer and the object or person or event being viewed. And that does not seem to occur. At least, not that I am aware of. Thus, consciousness, in many respects acts like a field; and other's is irrespective of the kinds of boundaries that we seem to witness with regard to other fields like gravity or electromagnetism.
I have paid and attended the course and believe that it should be taught for free.There are too many souls out there struggling. So heres a brief (although full) description of what you would be taught over 4 days and at whatever cost you have to pay wherever you are. if you search for 'TM mantra list' you'll find that info though as its a meaningless word it really doesnt matter (It does have to be a meaningless word though) but it does allow you to see what the teacher would have said. Other than that. Find a comfortable and quiet spot. Close your eyes and relax. Spend maybe 1 min finding some quiet.I was told 'Lets find some quiet'Notice external noises and acknowledge how you feel and think. . Now after a min or 2 (if you wish) begin to introduce your mantra.. Repeat for initially lets say 10 mins but work your way up to 20 and beyond. Theres no trick or mystery. When thoughts arise acknowledge them and re introduce your mantra. You will find you breath slowing way down along with your thoughts and more often than not (but not always) i find myself in a lovely quiet 'cozy' (if thats the right word)andwonderful place. its that simple. repeat often, though they say twice day . There is nothing more too it than that. If you still think you need to attend the course . Great. If you think you are going to invoke whichever of the 1000's of gods. Fine. All i'm saying is here are the instructions to turn on this 'tap'. If you want a drink of water , go for it. IF YOU FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT NOT PAYING FEEL FREE TO GIVE TO AN ANIMAL CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE.
Before anyone comments on why its so important to find a teacher or its so much more nuanced or even complicated that this (its not. I paid because of thinking it was and that I was missing something..I wasnt) I suspect they want your money or have paid themselves and thnk it unfair now that your getting it for free.
Meditation I think is maintenance for our Mental health. To schedule to slow down and analyse our thoughts and how our body works, what it needs to survive and how to manage being calm.
It works when you talk less nd do more. Another thing to add, don't take it like a typical psycho therapy , since its self healing nd there is no doctor patient game.
TRUTH Example of how when millions of minds when focused in ONE Direction can make a change Our farmers in Australia were suffering terribly from drought no rain So people put together a concert to raise money for struggling farmers, advertised it, got Well known singers/celebrities behind it to PUT it all over social media etc, all the big companies set up a buy a bail of hay for a farmer, so people could easily help support so basically nearly the Whole of Australia was FOCUSED on the farmers FOCUSED on wanting to Help the Farmers, Within ONE week it RAINED in all the places that were drought stricken, it RAINED for 3 days This is just an example of what can happen when millions of people are focused on achieving a POSITIVE OUTCOME for others For Myself Meditation changed my life, I use meditation to CREATE myself my life How I want it to be any changes I want to see with my physical eyes I go in & see it within my minds eye first, I always see with my physical eyes that which I first created Within my minds Eye I call it ... Meditation for Creation 🤔🙌✌💖
Meditation as most people use the word is a modern invention but which draws ifrom ancient practices and traditions. The breadth of its usage as a term spans present day religions, cultural/spiritual movements, and has even entered into business culture - this makes its impossible to adequately to sum up what meditation actually is. Early Buddhist texts, such as the Pali canon do not actually have a word for meditation as we would understand it. Bhavana - is used in the original Pali, the language of what is known as the historical Buddha. It is usually translated as cultivation as it applies to the mind -and specifically the development of samma samadhi - right concentration. In the Buddhist sense bhavana - or meditation if you prefer - can either be wrong or right. It’s certainly possible to develop the wrong kind of meditation too. The meditation which the Buddha recommends is the kind that is developed in conjunction with 7 other factors, which includes ethical behaviour and the right understanding of what the ‘problem of being alive’ really is.
It’s so lovely to sit back and listen to wise words. I really need that input now that I’ve lost my philosophical debate buddy. Could you do a program on trust issues at some point?
Thank you, for this video! Because I was very ill and the doctors told me I was going to die, I studied how to meditate. I researched many teachers and I actually learned to heal myself from some terrible disabilities through meditation. Take a look at the results and see for yourself! Hope this helps! 💜🙏🏻☮️ @
Intro Q reframed for an alternate framing focii...... Q) Is meditation Work? ...... A) Yeah, tend to appraise such! For metaphor purposes, for contemplative. Cept exert no ‘force’ pls!!!! Ok unless u identify as a Jedi perhaps ⭐️😌✌️ Ok now I’ll listen to speaker’s response & tune in morer collectlively 🧘🏽♀️✨🦋🐝😜
I meditate at work during my break and there's one woman at work who, if she see's me, will spend the afternoon telling me that i was asleep and tell others i was asleep and refuses, point blank, that i was meditating. It's got so bad i won't sit in the lunch room when see's there.
@Jordan P So there is no art or science of meditation, no correct way to do it, no way to compare one person's experience with another's. I can read porn while standing on my head and say I am meditating.
@Jordan P I take your point. But how then do you distinguish meditation from relaxation? Or do you? One person tries to shut down the mind and falls asleep, another becomes anxious. I'm wondering how there can be anything specifically definable as meditation when outcomes may differ and subjective experiences can not be compared. Mahesh claimed very specific results for meditation as he taught it and a specific method too. Within the systems Vivekananda taught there were huge differences between Bhakti (emotional) and Jnana (unemotional). So I'm afraid that if we say it is anything a person does while relaxing the mind you are excluding a wider discussion. Pandit Gopi Krishna wanted scientific testing of meditation experiences because he thought there was a precise teleology towards kundalini awakening. And Huxley and Castenada thought Mescalin and psilocybin would do the job. If we reject the systems and the conflicting theories then perhaps all we are left with is that it is good to sit still and be calm - which, of course, it is.

What is freedom ? What is education and how does it affect the human. I was brought up as a roman catholic in Belfast. I was not only divided on the inside but also a divide in the society i grew up in. The divide and rule game was ingrained in me by the 'religion' on the inside and outside by authority. Divisions that cause conflict. All that reflected in the self. A manufactured self. Similar divisions in most societies. Us and them. High self - low self always in conflict. All created by thought which is matter stored in the brain. That is our reality. Our totally messed up and confusing world is the product of thought. All the Cathedrals and Mosques, Temples, Ashrams built and books contained therein,, all the product of thought. And what is Meditation ? Meditation happens when 'you' a product of what's written above is not operating. And that is our difficulty. Because thought dominates the human. There is no space for the other to come in. Thought operates in the material world,, learning a skill, solving a problem etc etc. It brings time and control to the table. And it controls the self. Does not like to be ignored. Now can you live without it when it is not needed ? You do have 5 other senses. An eagle will nick a lamb from its mother, take it up 1000 ft and then drop it onto the rocks below. Ah dinner.
@@dorothywarren1441 Eastern religions usually have leaders or are systems to follow. Buddha said Die to the past but Buddhism destroyed Buddha's message.And is now corrupt.Like all religions. The Hari Khrisna's of this world are all corrupt. TM also corrupted. This is a task for you alone. Let me say this. If I meditate for some time then eventually 'I will' become enlightened, ie i use time to reach that state. '''This is false''' and it will never ever happen. Take care.
Krishnamurti said it best of all, learn the art of just learning to take time out your day, for yourself, and do absolutely nothing....and never feel guilty 🌞😎
I’d like to see more evidence that meditating in groups has positive sociological effects on a large scale but until then why not meditate in general. There’s plenty enough evidence for it mental health, focus enhancing benefits .
A lot of people who choose to meditate for the first few times suddenly experience the circus that exists in their mind as a natural consequence of the missing everyday distractions that are usually there. This includes praying as well because the focus on something in particular masks this circus. There is always some kind of resistance when trying something new and expecting results quicker than is possible is reason enough as to why we should all be meditating to begin with. I suspect that there would also be some resistance to meditation because it’s a practice originating in the East and for many people who subscribe to other religions might perceive this as conflicting. They might even fear experiencing positive results from it and what this might imply given that they pray for the same reasons. Give yourself permission and allow the madness to take place while you’re mediating and it won’t be too long before it quietens down allowing you to benefit from its absence. Faith is not required to reap its benefits hence no betrayal to your commitment of choice in other doctrines.
The moment you meditate because you want to gain something or attain something, You are not meditating . Meditation is like music , like dancing . You dance for the sake of it . There is nothing to attain or to gain while dancing ! You do it because you love it as it is . The more you dance the more flexible you body becomes . But flexibility isn't the reason you dancing . So in exactly the same way, meditation is an art form, a way of living. Meditation is not a "diet" nor a "medicine" . 🖐🏻🙏🏻❤️
If you're middle-class and financially well-off then you're surely already in a better position to benefit from meditation. If you're in poverty however, no amount of meditation is going pull you out. Sure you can meditate in your parents home in the ghetto which is on the brink of foreclosure and you're about to be homeless; yes, you can meditate in that environment but it won't fix wealth inequality which is the real issue on this planet.
The idea which we are evolving from, that doing all the things a person can do but do it better than anyone else, is grinding to a halt. The earth won’t sustain that paradigm in the medium to long term. Duality has outlived it’s usefulness. The idea which was secretly hinted at 2, 3, 4 thousand years ago, that each of us is actually connected to an infinite, omniscient, omnipresent and loving Oneness is just beginning to emerge NOW. It’s not a big deal, although it is, that we will be “forced” to evolve or face a reset. Either way, I am okay with it. Oneness is THE TRUTH. I love the fact that, with practice I can begin to move past the duality piece and however briefly at first, access the Oneness. Then I get to exercise seeing that Oneness in everyone I encounter. It’s a lot of work, or not, but it is doable. And perhaps now more than any other time in history. Remember, the folks who dis-covered this through the years, inevitably had people come forward who wanted those who had made access, to take responsibility for them. This is what has to be different this time. All sentient beings must find enlightenment. Yeah, it’s just the way it is. Meditation is a tool. The Truth dictates the Path.
unusual coconut As a Muslim, I'm trying to understand this myself. It's only very recently that I'm seeing the parallels Islamic ritual prayer has with meditation. The different postures - standing, bending over, prostration and sitting while keeping our gaze on the ground one might observe in the ritual (as suggested by a cleric from Indonesia I watched recently) corresponds with the different physical and cultural expressions of submission and accepting of God’s will on us individually - a central creed in the faith.
When my head feels like it's going to explode, I use your prayer position 🙂 works beautifully 💛 It's faster than 20minutes barefoot on grass, in sand or the sea - and they're not always readily available . Oh and I think there's a western singer / artist that actually knows this too 😉👍
I felt this way for a awhile. Check out calm app and listen to Jeff Warren , How to meditate. If have Samsung health app, it's free on it. Explains it in a way that I have finally started to get it. Just Don't give up, practice makes perfect. You got this!
mediation = taking time to stop, relax and see things rationally and clearly and be able to make calm decisions about your life and day afterwards -- yes of course it works
In UG BiomedSci I realised somewhat happily 👩🔬⚗️🧬 just coz ‘we’ don’t have a device ‘to measure’ .. (phenomena) doesn’t mean there is nothing to observe. They said, it doesn’t seem to be widely acknowledged when building knowledge empirically?? Hey man can’t stop progress! Hey but should we at least just see if our models still fit, or close enough does the relative job. KPIs.. stats.. funding.. prestige.. no bells! Ah that was helpful thank ful thsnk ful 🙏
Interesting when Russell said that the ocean would be the same on a molecular level.Would it? There are constant currents from upwelling from hydrothermal vents etc, so there is a continuous changing of heat, dissolved minerals etc; but if you stand back and look at the ocean as a whole,it appears 1 entity. Just an observation, said in love
Join Jon Kabat-Zinn's guided meditation session on Zoom every Monday - Friday at 16:00pm. Very insightful. We engage in a guided meditation and then people are given a window to ask questions or offer comments. Useful for beginners or experienced meditators...though I believe we all attain the beginners mind when we practice :)
Meditation absolutely works! I’ve used it my whole life and after contracting meningitis in 2015, I couldn’t sleep more than 5 minutes. I started using meditation to recreate the physical sensations from my memory and retrained my brain to release the hormones necessary to sleep. I can sleep 3-4 hours now.
I think meditation is most effective when its done under instructions of a master. Because as it was said once, a person can become very good at sitting down in a meditative posture and sleep. In this case it can be said that meditation is not meditation at all.
We can't just make up forces of nature willy-nilly. Meditation makes people calmer and more clear-minded, which is great. But it has nothing to do with "a field of consciousness".
I'm currently 33 years old. I still struggle with alcohol and mental illness. At around 20, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia/psychosis, and was bombarded with an array of debilitating drugs. Zombifying, consciousness-thieving, hospitalising (bla bla bla). After 5 years of the medication I was on, living in the homeless system, I found myself 'getting in to', meditation. Although my practice was unguided, erratic, potentially, irreversibly-psychologically, dangerous as fuck; Within 3 weeks of meditation, I just stopped my meds. And I never, ever touched them, again. I'll never understand it. But, it occurred. In absolute bi-polaris contrast, though, my (uneducated and unguided) continued practices led me into a severe state of psychosis, where I ended up in the cells, with 3 powerfully 'demonic', repetitively-defeating, swirling and attacking voices within my perception...'in my head'. (My mind snapped after 4 or 5 hours of naive meditation, focused primarily in the centre of my head). I've had glimpses of and tasted both the unfathomable depths of the personal-connective-magic, and the extraordinary, potential, danger of meditation. I think meditation could save the world....But with the assumed insanity and erratic-ness of the average, modern mind; it has to be done, very carefully. I believe.
@Tian Vermonntemg We all have voices of varying loudness in our heads depending on the depth of our reflectiveness. In dreams we hear things so clearly that we believe them and are effected profoundly. The dream voices are attached to memories we made during a time when our critical mind was undeveloped or forced into unconsciousness by fear. Call these memories trauma. Our life situations trigger memories of trauma. Listen to the voices for qualities that can tell you who they originated from. Think like a hypnotist and guide the voice by dialoguing with it. Pretend to be a therapist and ask questions of it. Imagine it is a spirit entity that needs to tell you something. Be kind to it and assure it that things will be ok. The whole of life is pretend anyway. If none of the above things work, hug a tree and ask for help. Be specific in a request for healing.
@Tian Vermonntemg Excellent. You have identified their behavior. That is the first step to controlling your response to "them." Re frame their behavior as 'children needing your attention'. You will take away their power by seeing the truth that your silent witness is beyond being hurt. It's the meaning you are putting on what they say that is keeping them alive. You are expecting them to be reasonable but they are cracked records made up from things you have been told as a child when you were looking for attention. Imagine meeting those abusers and quietly observing them. Offer them nothing but your presence. Look them in the eyes. They are circuits in your mind that you can pull the plug on. ie. just like a real live Narc that feeds off hurting people to balance the pain they suffered as a child. Study Lucid Dreaming. The objective is to be awake in your dreams without shattering the dream. To observe the deeper world of yourself. Don't believe anything.
@Tian Vermonntemg You're very welcome. I hope your experiences of voices will become a resource for something creative. A lot of people find religion through hearing voices. This can be a tragic lock down into obedience to a cult such as Christianity. If you want to see full blown insanity, visit a Charismatic Pentecostal Church. I hope you also realize you are a God in a universe of your own imagination. Wonderful healings can occur in the space that your silent witness (I am presence) observes. Early Eckhart Tolle talks really home in on that power. The Power of Now.
I don't know? I'm not going to get all woo woo. But I am going to do something with the golden ratio. There is something weird with networks I guess. Like, apparently the size of any given network is given by the number of connections each person has to the power of how many degrees of separation there is between each person. So for example if each person has 26 friends on average, and we're all separated by an average of seven degrees of separation then the size of the population will be 26 to the power of 7, which equals just over 8 billion. Or to put it another way, 7 = ln(8billion)/ln(26). But you could get the number 7 from any combination of ln(x)/ln(y). For example if you had a cube with 6 vertices, then each of the vertices will have 3 connections each. So we could just do ln(6)/ln(3) = 1.631.... its a messy number. I don't know what bizarre shape would have such a combination as to give 7 as an answer. But let's forget about shapes. What if we just had x and y to be less than one? - well then merely x is y to the power of 7. But here something interesting happens. If x is 0.20345, then to get x you just do y to the power of seven - which is 0.79654 to the power of 7. And what you may see is that 0.20345 + 0.79654 = 1. This is the same for any power you use, x + y will equal 1. The golden ratio is another example of this. The square of the gloden ratio, 0.618033989... is 0.3819660116. Both these numbers added together equal 1. By converting the numebrs to less than one, what I've done something very similar to what is known as 'Pareto Distributions' - it is something that Jordan Peterson talks about a lot - for example the 80/20 rule (that 80% of the wealth goes to 20% of the people). If you look at what I did with using values to the power of 7 (relating to 7 degrees of seapration), then you may notice that we have 0.20345 and 0.79654 as our values - these how you get the 80/20 rule, 0.2 represents 20% of the population and 1 - 0.2 (0.8) represents 80% of the wealth. So why not have a golden ratio rule of wealth distribution LOL? I don't know enough to critically evaluate them. But there are network theories of physics that attempt to unify the non-compatable theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In physics you find a lot of squared values and square roots and pi turning up a lot. The icosidodecahedron (a shape with 12 pentagons and 20 rectangles - similar to a football) seems to pop up a lot with theores of space time. A weird thing you can do is take a globe and then pick a point on the equator, then draw a line such that you go up 10 degrees of latitude for every 20 degrees of longitude you go across (so the line has a gradient of 0.5). You will reach the north pole by one half turn of the globe. And if you look at the globe from above you'll see it forms a fibonacci spiral (made from the golden ratio). Something really interesting happens if you then repeat this pattern on a icosidodecahedron, and even weirder if you were to then shrink that shape down by 0.618 (the golden ratio) of it's size and then put it inside another globe with the same icosidodecahedron pattern - ever noticed how a spiral on a flat sheet of paper looks like it's going off into the distance?.. Well imagine that with 60 spirals on one sphere, and then 60 inside that and 60 inside that and so on to infinity, with all the various spirals connecting up with each other in different ways depending on how you rotated the whole lot by viewing them in different orientations. A bit mad. But, I guess there's nothing in it. Nah, nothing of any significance...
I've discoverd so many practices and, secrets to strengen and empower my body, but meditation keeps you calm and collective and keeps you connected to your spiritual and higher self, and it's the only thing that's caused a true separation after around a year I was able to astral project to different realitys. And see beautiful huge magical landscapes, some worlds are purple in hue and enb abit like a game one world had a purple sky and beautiful blue stars 😍✨ and I went to this steam punk world. There was massive castle with like prepllers keeping it up, and there was loads of other flying houses and shops every where. Get meditating people also happy to share how to enter the astrals. But exercise caution you'll be going to a limitless reality with limitless possibilitys
Yes meditation works, then I stopped bc stupid me thought I didn’t need it anymore since I was feeling happy and guess what!? After a month or so I’m back to sadness.. I must start meditation again ❤️❤️🪂 I want to be free
I think one should be careful on how one meditates and what one meditates on. When I meditate, I meditate on the most high / God while being vigilant in prayer. Russell 🙏
I think that in order to get more people into meditation, we need to cut out misconceptions and false views on it, since if people see those views and discover them to be garbage, they might think that the whole meditation thing is garbage. We shouldn't believe in anything anti-scientific like what the guest presented about meditation having cause-effect relationship with global crime, etc. Meditation has a direct impact on the meditator, helping them to break free from their learned traumatic experience, including criminals. So, yes, there could be less criminals in the world because of meditation, but not through any sort of magical and new agey "global consciousness field". This view is, indeed, garbage, and people need to understand that corelation is not the same as causation. However, meditation does indeed work and could be transformative for the world.

Meditation is not about something that "works" its about losing everything that doesn't work and realizing you worked perfectly all along without all the stuff. Your natural state is bliss. You have been avoiding your natural state your whole life with other stuff. Some people even are deluded by their meditative practice and it becomes a religion and becomes "stuff" which then hinders them even more. If you are wondering what new spiritual trinkets you can wear to look more spiritual that's just one example of being mislead by spirituality. Another example is someone who is so addicted to information that they become "Informationally Obese"
A person who has read a thousand books and discovered a thousand things may be less enlightened than another so simply says "I will just be kind"
What's missing from the world is not "How to do" The internet is littered with "How to do"
It's "How to Be"
I mean asking if it "works" is a broad spectrum ranged question, mediation can be used for bodily balance for health and is to make you a more calm, patient, understanding person about your own thoughts and others so asking if it works isn't wrong lol cause it does lol and hes just discussing it to make others more aware and to have a clearer perspective on the practice
I really think you guys are forgetting there are like 100+ different forms of meditation. And all depending on which one you focus on...is the thing in which you're working on lolol
The how to do is important tho bc certain practices like meditation and yoga (bc theres a lot of different forms of that too) and magic practices need to be properly taught and researched before engaging in them bc they're very specific forms of practices created to help in very specific ways all teaching you to be a certain way yes but everyone has their own path and different types of practices that better suit them on their journey. So you need to be educated on the history of where your practices came from, the ideology that was created by the vedics before religion turned it more into rule books rather than guidebooks. To carry out any of those practices I believe needs to be respected through proper education and research and real effort finding out where these traditions came from to be aware of what they're truly for specifically
@@zoelewis4219 Sometimes you must take the heroes journey and go through all the crap before you realize you had what you was looking for all along.
And the thing about the "trinkets" is so funny cause you're right but in a sense its still egotistical to think someone cant be prideful in their practices. And to not take into consideration the 100s of different through a 100 generations all traditionally wear certain garments and symbols and jewelry to tighten their connection to higher plane on a day to day when they're not meditating. Like wearing certain crystals to balance your energy bc you have certain anxieties or wearing tribal rings all over your fingers bc they make you feel more balanced, or like the bindi in hindu culture. Which is an example of both our points actually, bc in western cultures stupid fuckin "enlightened" ppl will put a bindi on their fuckin forehead but they're not even aware of what it represents, which a married woman in hindu culture, but it also is a symbol to enhance, balance, and ward off evil from the third eye
I got myself 16 months clean from heroin, without outside help or rehab. Largely thanks to meditation and starting my spiritual journey. You get what you look for intently. Namaste.

I’ve been on anti depressants and I’ve meditated regularly; the difference is, anti depressants lost their effectiveness over time, meditation is natural and has worked for me. I wish everyone I loved and cared about would meditate once a day because I want them to have an easier life
Wonder Woman that’s awesome, I’m currently going through a block in my meditation where it seems like I can’t focus and get in a meditative state. Do u have any tips to get around this?
@@frankdeezy5945 hi, have you downloaded the headspace app? You get 10 free meditations for beginners and it helps me get back into meditating and reminds me of the techniques to use. I wouldn’t pay for membership because every basic meditation is the same. But the techniques are great for calming, relaxing, breathing, and getting you into that space where you can carry on meditating. I listen to a ten minute meditation and when it’s finished, I carry on for another ten minutes, letting thoughts come and go, and gently guiding my thoughts back to my breathe. Not denying thoughts or resisting them, but letting them fly by, and gently guiding my mind back to the breathe. I find headspace free meditation starts me off and gets me into the chilled, relaxed, meditative state of mind. The honest guys also have excellent meditations here on RUclips. Wish you well!
along with that also try out breathing techniques ancient. If you haven't already
Tyler Breeze - just throwing in my 2 cents. Let it be. Just watch the “block” and lack of focus. Just be with it and know it’s passing and is allowed to be there as much as anything else. Presence let’s it be.
i will , during my mindfulness practice send you loving kindness and anyone else that asks. I do it on a meta level anyway.
Meditation changed my entire life. I could not recommend it more! Thank you, Russell! Sending out love to this amazing community ♥️

Life has become much more beautiful since I started meditation
I did my "modern day philosopher" project on you like 4 yrs ish back and ppl thought I was stupid for choosing you till they saw my presentation. Just wanna let you know Im fucking proud of you every day I see you bc how much you've changed your life, you're definitely someone I look up to and who has helped refine parts of who I am I love it and just wanna remind you how much of a difference you've helped and are helping make. You're a beautiful soul thank you for being here with us
I've only been meditating about five months. I love it so much. More amazingly, the people in my household all seem to be getting along so much better. I would not have believed that a change in my disposition would have had such a significant impact in the people that I interact with daily.
Yes. Children in inner city schools who were at risk for violence had higher grades better coping skills and slept better when they were taught TM to reduce stress.
I wish someone taught me that when I was a child
@@fzuzka I am a career pediatric RN. I learned TM in 1974 as a 'hippie chick' and have used it since. Never too late to incorporate it into your daily routine. It's wonderful! ♡
Some people teach babies to meditate, allowing the baby to either be floating in warm water or not stimulating them in any way just allowing them to be safe, enjoy the sun and encouraging the feeling of happiness, it's the same for adults.
I had tried a meditation app, after a few sessions sensed enough to understand I could, with practice, possibly achieve an altered conciousness. I haven't meditated in a while, I know I need to, but I did eventually achieve a new perspective. Even if only for a while afterward, stress, depression, lack of control in my life took a back seat. The world could be viewed with a new perspective, the world would be a much better place if everyone could reset their mind and stop their endless thought processes of depression, hatred, and hopelessness.
My understanding of meditation is , the elimination of self centered activity.🙏🏻
More like less of an attachment to self centred activity, or actually just more awareness of your self centred activity.
Self centered sounds selfish to me lol
Meditation should be taught to kids in school , give them more tools to deal with the stresses of adulthood . 🙏🏻
Asking if meditation "works" implies that it is a means to some end, which, theoretically, it shouldn't be. That's part of my struggle with meditation -- should I just randomly be inspired to do it "just because," or should I do it because I know it's good for me?
I mean asking if it "works" is a broad spectrum ranger question, mediation can be used for bodily balance for health and is to make you a more calm, patient, understanding person about your own thoughts and others so asking if it works isn't wrong lol cause it does lol and hes just discussing it to make others more aware
Yes
The "end" is relaxation, less anxiety, more clarity, peace, natural joy. If you prefer chaos you are free to experience that too .
That is a really excellent question. In my experience, it is best if you meditate "just because" with an open mind. If you go in with the mindset that it is supposed to be working on something, you will get frustrated when nothing happens (this happened to me when I started). Maybe this conundrum exists is because meditation exceeds some form of logic ?

If I say something like “hey, I’m joining a mens group” it changes every person that hears this, no different with any other group, the serendipity of connections is the ripple effect, not the actions. Marketing uses these processes, we should learn them back into our lives for betterment.
Is that you Bernard Shaw? A grand master with a grand beard. Yes to physical presence in a group. Meditation is so much more powerful in a group. It is called entrainment I think. Radiation of a state. Animals feel it fastest. Look at how a whole heard of cattle will lie down for a rest at the same time.
Medical Interest absolutely, yes we herd about, I love using serendipity for my things of interest, like drawing a slug on the sidewalk, suddenly a whole new thing begins, we can use it. If we don’t use it, we lose it. The beard is a snap chat beard, I learn more from my children, just as we should. I meditated on nothing and something came along. I concentrate on something, then I need a friend, or a holiday, same thing. Why leave out the world, when it can solve all the worlds problems? Cells grow, brain cells grow too, we need time for new thoughts or we need another brain to join our troubles.
@@mellonglass Yes to making life interesting. I presently have a really long beard and look like the European version of Jesus. Blue eyes and honey blond hair hanging over my shoulders, going gray. With sunglasses I look like a muppet and feel quite anonymous. My fun is in healing people and jokingly saying Halalujah, praise da Lorrrd and Thaaaank yoh Jayzus. It seems to work because the recipients laugh and feel better. Being tall and strong has probably rescued me from crucifixion :) so far.
Medical Interest i have a hunch *jesus was a city.
@@mellonglass Yes, Jesus is a word that can be used anywhere. I just responded to Peter Stone's sermon.
Some one told me that all people who follow a guru are miserable, snivelling hypocrits. Is this true? Christians certainly are :)
Meditation works for me and this is my experience. Deep breathing first to focus the mind and lower the heart rate. When breathing out, rest in your heart centre. This helps stop the internal dialogue.
Once your brain slows down it's chatter, just observing, then you become present, in the moment. You can hear the birds sing, and have a greater awareness then LET GO, allow yourself to let go, go deep into the darkness and loose yourself, there your being becomes part of consciousness, you are multidimensional. You cease to be your body,. You are energy that is connected to every-thing.
Group or mass meditation can change the vibration of the general consciousness on earth to a higher state of frequency if there are enough people taking part, however it has to be above a critical mass. This is normally hosted by a master who guides the meditation. You would focus on blessings, healing and bringing forth brilliant white light from the divine and channel it to all the beings and also the earth it's self, these type of meditations run parallel to astrological events, like last Thursday morning for example where to new moon was at its strongest at 09.00 am London time.
Thank you for being so so dedicated to raising consciousness, you've been puttin these videos out strong for yrs now and I fuckin love it
If I stop meditating, life becomes more of a chore.
If someone tells u u shouldn't be making ur self happy you have the right to give them the finger and go f them self not sound harsh but thats what they get for trying put people down karma. Keep Meditating bud. :)
Hi Emm. Keep meditating to the point of your whole life being a meditation.
yeah... I fell out of the habit two months ago, after I managed it for the first time in my life to keep it up quite easily for a few weeks... I fell down that rabbithole of consuming the news in the light of recent events and am still struggling to find my way back from there... I know, with meditation I feel better, but just now I don't even know why, I simply don't start meditating again... strange thing
@@CIIZARmusic Thanks for responding. As you know, there is a lot mental illness arising in society due to the lock downs. Meditation is the healthy way to protect oneself from picking up the distress of the world. Ten deep breaths always centers me and gives me awareness of what tension I am holding in my body. The choice to relax becomes available. Good luck. and cheers from the lucky country. Australia.
The 'TRUTH is NOT Worldly. 'Knowledge' (nor Exposing falsehoods) But.The Truth IS, what it IS!'...it CANNOT be RATIONALISED , CONSEPTULISED, INTERLECTULLISED...nor can it be USED for our OWN ends.... It CANNOT be known from BOOKS, neither can it be known on a 'MENTAL LEVEL!' ..and NO ONE can even TELL us, what the Truth IS!
But to KNOW The TRUTH, as ABSOLUTE....can ONLY be
known...On our....
'CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM'
I.e. ..If you told a Child NOT to touch a CANDLE. ..NO MATTER what you SAID, or HOW you said IT,...they will STILL touch it, ...and ONLY then will they know the ABSOLUTE truth, in what you told them... so thus...on a mental level, the TRUTH can not be known!
The Child will not know whether what you said... IS the Truth, ...or its not the truth, as ABSOLUTE! (And NEITHER should we have 'BLIND FAITH' in the truth, either! ! BECAUSE blind faith in 'ANYTHING'....only TAKES US... to FANATICISM!
And so thus. 'NOW' ...The TIME has COME, that GOD, can be "PROVEN" .. ...on our CNS!
To SEEK the TRUTH is not the MUNDANE or 'WORLDLY' TRUTHS, but IT is INWARDLY, on a subtle level, this IS the PURE desire, because ALL other desires, are just like, mirage! World PEACE cannot be ACHIEVED by exposing non truths , or by demonstration and waving a PLACARD...but it can ONLY be achieved by achieving or acsent and connecting to the Universel truth of the Spirit! We all must Become 'COLLECTIVELY CONSCIOUS' The Spirit where we ARE, is the ONLY Collective part, in us ALL!
SELF REALISATION .... IS the STARTING POINT. ..of reality!
Sahaja yoga is different from other 'yogas' BECAUSE it STARTS with SELF REALISATION!!! . ...Instead of THAT being an 'Unobtainable GOAL,....of a FALSE Practice or a Ritual!
BTW Sahaja Yoga is NEVER ritualistic, but is a protocol, to achieving our SECOND BIRTH! Watch SHREE MATAJI public programme talks, at the end of these talks, the HOLY MOTHER gives SELF REALISATION, as an ACTUALISATION and not as a Nonsensical FALSEHOOD!!!
To KNOW THY SELF, is to BECOME thy SELF. ...our TRUE Self....The SPIRIT! ....Which is what we ARE....but it is also that, which we MUST also 'BECOME! ...'BECOMING'. ... IS THE POINT! ruclips.net/video/0STVhjA0jnA/видео.html
There is no unseen world. Each one can live in their full potential if they enjoy focusing within oneself and wait for inspired thoughts and action. Unfortunately no one has the patience or no one knows how to enjoy this inward focusing of waiting....for your own high potential life in terms of thoughts and right synchronicities.
I have a question about meditation: is it ok if i let me get driven by positive thoughts while i am meditating?
Meditation is ment to make you happy and at peace if that's what happens when you do it good for you
STOP OVER THINKING IT ALL JUST OBSERVE
In Buddhism meditation is allowed after deep reflection about impermanence of ourselves and all people around.
I watched Russell’s video on meditation for beginners today as it was my first time trying it, and I felt so spaced out afterwards in a good way. The only thing I could compare it to was being slightly stoned but without hitting or toking a joint, does this make sense ?
The whole foundation of Sikhism is meditation we sit in the early hours of the morning focus our eyes on the third eye to remove 5 passions which the mind is caught in a net which are lust,anger,greed,attachment and ego once we do this we listen to the music of the soul from within not our ears externally but internally listen to a melody of silence, Namaste
We’re all vastly different and the same method will not work for all of us. If you have a hard time being still, walking meditations and sound healing may work better.
Look into SOHAM SADHANA Yoga........ its free :)
Then, no thoughts of past failures or future problems will exist in the mind, and a truly positive mental state will result
"Follow the breath" focus your mind... the mind wanders so easily.
practicing meditation lessens the inflammatory response in people exposed to psychological stressors, particularly for long-term meditators. According to neuroscience research, mindfulness practices dampen activity in our amygdala and increase the connections between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Both of these parts of the brain help us to be less reactive to stressors and to recover better from stress when we experience it.
Thank you so much Russell. Learning Transcendental meditation from your videos and Under The Skin has helped me overcome my addictions once rooted by destructive external means.
Yes Bob Roth is very interesting and so are you. thank you for sharing your skill of eloquence. It's so nice to hear a person express himself so well.
Hi Russel, have been listening to you for years. Still doing my same old shit, work , scurry, make money, scurry, survive, bring up kids, panic, worry, happy, sad, etc. you have helped, however, all this spiritual stuff makes me feel good but won’t make my family feel good if I don’t produce the goods. I think we are about to change as a society but a lot of people are going to get a an awakening that they were not expecting in any way. Hope you answer, probably not! Peace and love .
As a relaxing exercise it works that's about as far as it goes for me , in effect to switch off .
Russell is making my journey with all this angst, more bearable. I wake up each morning frantically looking to see if he has a new video.
Thanks Russel, great minds at work. My opinon, there is no limitation what mass meditation can do. On a higher and selected frequence band we would be able to adjust our vibration alongside the electron of the atomic structure and would therefore be able to create through thought only.
Hey what's you thoughts on the crystallization of your pineal gland because of the fluoride the put in drink water and toothpaste?
I like the opening bit, it really all rests on the idea that all matter/consciousness is connected, as if the we are still connected from before the big bang happened. 🌏 🔥
Thats not how sum of sounds works bro, if you put 2 loudspeakers next to each other, lets say of 70 decibels, they won't multiply the loudness by 4 like you said (280 DB), that just stupid to think about, they would produce 73 DB together.
Transcendental meditation works. You and you alone are what you perceive you are...when you take control and responsibility of what you percieve...then that is who you will be. I believe this starts with music as it changes your mood...you are able to take this in yourself...no one can do this but you yourself...you are able to balance what you percieve...you can balance the good and evil perceptions when you,realize your weaknesses...this can only be done by going within...when you pinpoint the problem...which can only get there through PAIN. Once you pinpoint the WHY'S you can correct this in how you PERCEIVE....what hurts can be fixed if you want to take the time.
I suggest, don't intellectualize it (meditation) so much, but rather do it. Get others to do it with you and see how it feels. Remember there is always freedom of choice. The effects of group meditations for instance, to increase peace, love and harmony in the world, elevates those vibrations so that they are readily available and more desirable than their opposite vibrations, so like a river, consciousness may follow the path of least resistance bringing about more peace, love and harmony in the external world. The more important question might be for each of us to experience the answer to, "how does meditation effect me?" Meditation is letting go and allowing, and rather than making something happen, letting it happen. The cork naturally bobbs up to the top of the water, because that is the nature of it. In the same way, Peace, Love and Harmony are our natural state in being, so given the opportunity, we will naturally float to the top of that.
hello matey -- i love your programs and you. Meditation is powerful when you use it as a visualization tool and yes it can transform you and the effects you enable around you. As it is taught - change you and everything else around you changes and meditation in a group is more powerful if you have developed virtues like patience and compassion and begin to practice it in order to accumulate merit so you can dedicate the merit produced to your aims.
sometimes we can make our work meditation i think thats the best time to meditate - doing a complex thing really simply in a trance like state
If we again want truth, the child is the best honesty, adults too quickly find spooks, children will play happily in any awful spot of previous atrocities or dislike our sterility of perfectionism and break it, snap the flowers, and trample our ego. Have we not seen the field of poppies?
Meditation frustrates me. Especially guided meditation. I keep coming back to it because I want to be able give my brain and body a rest, but I just sit there trying to let go and relax while thinking about some argument I got into when I was 14. Guided meditation is especially frustrating, when I've got someone telling me to visualise a light scanning through my body. I end up more focused on why I can't do that than actually meditating. I'll keep coming back though.
I've practiced meditation for over a decade; and I can say without a doubt - that it has positively affected my life. To the point where I am no longer homeless. There are other extraordinary things which I don't feel comfortable sharing on such a public platform, which have occurred and continue to occur; however... the greatest benefit has been how the lens through which I see myself has shifted greatly; and this leads me more towards a desire to connect with people on a deeper level. When I look at people... I can have an argument with them; but I no longer confuse their thinking, opinions, or their behavior with who they are at the core as a fellow spiritual being. Therefore, I can disagree with them totally; and even their value system; yet (at my best) feel compassion towards them in their own journey and wish them well; even if they are attacking me. It is not that I don't protect myself; or that I am naive; it is simply that, again, I don't confuse a temporal personality shift or even underlying life current with LIFE FORCE and LIFE INTELLIGENCE.
Therefore, when I hate someone for whatever reason; I know that I am CHOOSING to do this. I'm not perfect and doing this CAN be of benefit; just like utilizing anger as a MOTIVATING ENERGY can be of benefit when used in the right way.
Great talk. And I agree. Consciousness, barring more information at the moment... indeed seems to act like a field; but NOT TOTALLY. Because then military practices of remote viewing would be limited by distance; where distortion of signal or even loss or disintegration of signal would square with the distance between the viewer and the object or person or event being viewed. And that does not seem to occur. At least, not that I am aware of.
Thus, consciousness, in many respects acts like a field; and other's is irrespective of the kinds of boundaries that we seem to witness with regard to other fields like gravity or electromagnetism.
I have paid and attended the course and believe that it should be taught for free.There are too many souls out there struggling. So heres a brief (although full) description of what you would be taught over 4 days and at whatever cost you have to pay wherever you are. if you search for 'TM mantra list' you'll find that info though as its a meaningless word it really doesnt matter (It does have to be a meaningless word though) but it does allow you to see what the teacher would have said. Other than that. Find a comfortable and quiet spot. Close your eyes and relax. Spend maybe 1 min finding some quiet.I was told 'Lets find some quiet'Notice external noises and acknowledge how you feel and think. . Now after a min or 2 (if you wish) begin to introduce your mantra.. Repeat for initially lets say 10 mins but work your way up to 20 and beyond. Theres no trick or mystery. When thoughts arise acknowledge them and re introduce your mantra. You will find you breath slowing way down along with your thoughts and more often than not (but not always) i find myself in a lovely quiet 'cozy' (if thats the right word)andwonderful place. its that simple. repeat often, though they say twice day
. There is nothing more too it than that. If you still think you need to attend the course . Great. If you think you are going to invoke whichever of the 1000's of gods. Fine. All i'm saying is here are the instructions to turn on this 'tap'. If you want a drink of water , go for it. IF YOU FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT NOT PAYING FEEL FREE TO GIVE TO AN ANIMAL CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE.
Before anyone comments on why its so important to find a teacher or its so much more nuanced or even complicated that this (its not. I paid because of thinking it was and that I was missing something..I wasnt) I suspect they want your money or have paid themselves and thnk it unfair now that your getting it for free.
"Luminary is not yet available in your country" (Denmark) :-((( Why the hell not?
Meditation I think is maintenance for our Mental health. To schedule to slow down and analyse our thoughts and how our body works, what it needs to survive and how to manage being calm.
Would love if you could get Dawn lester and David Parker on the Pod
I have meditating as often as possible lately 🙏 thank you Russell. Your shares are amazing and always help me understand more about life
It works when you talk less nd do more. Another thing to add, don't take it like a typical psycho therapy , since its self healing nd there is no doctor patient game.
TRUTH
Example of how when millions of minds when focused in ONE Direction can make a change
Our farmers in Australia were suffering terribly from drought no rain
So people put together a concert to raise money for struggling farmers, advertised it, got Well known singers/celebrities behind it to PUT it all over social media etc, all the big companies set up a buy a bail of hay for a farmer, so people could easily help support so basically nearly the Whole of Australia was FOCUSED on the farmers FOCUSED on wanting to Help the Farmers, Within ONE week it RAINED in all the places that were drought stricken, it RAINED for 3 days
This is just an example of what can happen when millions of people are focused on achieving a POSITIVE OUTCOME for others
For Myself Meditation changed my life, I use meditation to CREATE myself my life How I want it to be any changes I want to see with my physical eyes I go in & see it within my minds eye first, I always see with my physical eyes that which I first created Within my minds Eye
I call it ... Meditation for Creation 🤔🙌✌💖
Russell's falling asleep 💤
He's multitask meditating
Meditation as most people use the word is a modern invention but which draws ifrom ancient practices and traditions. The breadth of its usage as a term spans present day religions, cultural/spiritual movements, and has even entered into business culture - this makes its impossible to adequately to sum up what meditation actually is. Early Buddhist texts, such as the Pali canon do not actually have a word for meditation as we would understand it. Bhavana - is used in the original Pali, the language of what is known as the historical Buddha. It is usually translated as cultivation as it applies to the mind -and specifically the development of samma samadhi - right concentration. In the Buddhist sense bhavana - or meditation if you prefer - can either be wrong or right. It’s certainly possible to develop the wrong kind of meditation too. The meditation which the Buddha recommends is the kind that is developed in conjunction with 7 other factors, which includes ethical behaviour and the right understanding of what the ‘problem of being alive’ really is.
It’s so lovely to sit back and listen to wise words. I really need that input now that I’ve lost my philosophical debate buddy. Could you do a program on trust issues at some point?

Intro Q reframed for an alternate framing focii...... Q) Is meditation Work? ...... A) Yeah, tend to appraise such! For metaphor purposes, for contemplative. Cept exert no ‘force’ pls!!!!

I meditate at work during my break and there's one woman at work who, if she see's me, will spend the afternoon telling me that i was asleep and tell others i was asleep and refuses, point blank, that i was meditating.
It's got so bad i won't sit in the lunch room when see's there.
I love Russel! He is so transparent! This guy did the same thing to me.
How can we know that two people meditating are both doing the same thing? How can pure subjective experiences be compared?
@Jordan P So there is no art or science of meditation, no correct way to do it, no way to compare one person's experience with another's. I can read porn while standing on my head and say I am meditating.
@Jordan P I take your point. But how then do you distinguish meditation from relaxation? Or do you? One person tries to shut down the mind and falls asleep, another becomes anxious. I'm wondering how there can be anything specifically definable as meditation when outcomes may differ and subjective experiences can not be compared. Mahesh claimed very specific results for meditation as he taught it and a specific method too. Within the systems Vivekananda taught there were huge differences between Bhakti (emotional) and Jnana (unemotional). So I'm afraid that if we say it is anything a person does while relaxing the mind you are excluding a wider discussion. Pandit Gopi Krishna wanted scientific testing of meditation experiences because he thought there was a precise teleology towards kundalini awakening. And Huxley and Castenada thought Mescalin and psilocybin would do the job. If we reject the systems and the conflicting theories then perhaps all we are left with is that it is good to sit still and be calm - which, of course, it is.

Meditation helped me overcome my anger issues
Been writing pages and meditating very inspiring podcasts
What is freedom ? What is education and how does it affect the human.
I was brought up as a roman catholic in Belfast.
I was not only divided on the inside but also a divide in the society i grew up in.
The divide and rule game was ingrained in me by the 'religion' on the inside and outside by authority.
Divisions that cause conflict. All that reflected in the self. A manufactured self.
Similar divisions in most societies. Us and them. High self - low self always in conflict.
All created by thought which is matter stored in the brain. That is our reality.
Our totally messed up and confusing world is the product of thought.
All the Cathedrals and Mosques, Temples, Ashrams built and books contained therein,, all the product of thought.
And what is Meditation ?
Meditation happens when 'you' a product of what's written above is not operating. And that is our difficulty.
Because thought dominates the human. There is no space for the other to come in.
Thought operates in the material world,, learning a skill, solving a problem etc etc.
It brings time and control to the table. And it controls the self. Does not like to be ignored.
Now can you live without it when it is not needed ? You do have 5 other senses.

Buddha said Die to the past but Buddhism destroyed Buddha's message.And is now corrupt.Like all religions. The Hari Khrisna's of this world are all corrupt. TM also corrupted.
This is a task for you alone.
Let me say this.
If I meditate for some time then eventually 'I will' become enlightened, ie i use time to reach that state. '''This is false''' and it will never ever happen. Take care.
Krishnamurti said it best of all, learn the art of just learning to take time out your day, for yourself, and do absolutely nothing....and never feel guilty 🌞😎
What if that underlying plane of connection is actually God? Or the edge of the spiritual realm?
I’d like to see more evidence that meditating in groups has positive sociological effects on a large scale but until then why not meditate in general. There’s plenty enough evidence for it mental health, focus enhancing benefits .
A lot of people who choose to meditate for the first few times suddenly experience the circus that exists in their mind as a natural consequence of the missing everyday distractions that are usually there. This includes praying as well because the focus on something in particular masks this circus. There is always some kind of resistance when trying something new and expecting results quicker than is possible is reason enough as to why we should all be meditating to begin with.
I suspect that there would also be some resistance to meditation because it’s a practice originating in the East and for many people who subscribe to other religions might perceive this as conflicting. They might even fear experiencing positive results from it and what this might imply given that they pray for the same reasons. Give yourself permission and allow the madness to take place while you’re mediating and it won’t be too long before it quietens down allowing you to benefit from its absence. Faith is not required to reap its benefits hence no betrayal to your commitment of choice in other doctrines.
The moment you meditate because you want to gain something or attain something, You are not meditating . Meditation is like music , like dancing . You dance for the sake of it . There is nothing to attain or to gain while dancing ! You do it because you love it as it is . The more you dance the more flexible you body becomes . But flexibility isn't the reason you dancing . So in exactly the same way, meditation is an art form, a way of living. Meditation is not a "diet" nor a "medicine" . 🖐🏻🙏🏻❤️
Who is this guy talking to russell ?
There's no question. However, 99% of people who meditate, don't even know what meditation is.
If you're middle-class and financially well-off then you're surely already in a better position to benefit from meditation. If you're in poverty however, no amount of meditation is going pull you out. Sure you can meditate in your parents home in the ghetto which is on the brink of foreclosure and you're about to be homeless; yes, you can meditate in that environment but it won't fix wealth inequality which is the real issue on this planet.
The idea which we are evolving from, that doing all the things a person can do but do it better than anyone else, is grinding to a halt. The earth won’t sustain that paradigm in the medium to long term. Duality has outlived it’s usefulness. The idea which was secretly hinted at 2, 3, 4 thousand years ago, that each of us is actually connected to an infinite, omniscient, omnipresent and loving Oneness is just beginning to emerge NOW. It’s not a big deal, although it is, that we will be “forced” to evolve or face a reset. Either way, I am okay with it. Oneness is THE TRUTH. I love the fact that, with practice I can begin to move past the duality piece and however briefly at first, access the Oneness. Then I get to exercise seeing that Oneness in everyone I encounter. It’s a lot of work, or not, but it is doable. And perhaps now more than any other time in history. Remember, the folks who dis-covered this through the years, inevitably had people come forward who wanted those who had made access, to take responsibility for them. This is what has to be different this time. All sentient beings must find enlightenment. Yeah, it’s just the way it is. Meditation is a tool. The Truth dictates the Path.

Mediation in islam is the prayer,I belive..leave every thing behind you...and focous in Allah's words!bliss. ....Thanks❤
unusual coconut As a Muslim, I'm trying to understand this myself. It's only very recently that I'm seeing the parallels Islamic ritual prayer has with meditation. The different postures - standing, bending over, prostration and sitting while keeping our gaze on the ground one might observe in the ritual (as suggested by a cleric from Indonesia I watched recently) corresponds with the different physical and cultural expressions of submission and accepting of God’s will on us individually - a central creed in the faith.
Steps of Muslim prayer explained .RUclips. hope it explains.wish you all the best.
When my head feels like it's going to explode, I use your prayer position 🙂 works beautifully 💛
It's faster than 20minutes barefoot on grass, in sand or the sea - and they're not always readily available .
Oh and I think there's a western singer / artist that actually knows this too 😉👍
I've tried meditating but, I feel like I'm doing something wrong 😔 It just doesn't work for me.
I felt this way for a awhile. Check out calm app and listen to Jeff Warren , How to meditate. If have Samsung health app, it's free on it. Explains it in a way that I have finally started to get it. Just Don't give up, practice makes perfect. You got this!
Guided visual meditations work for me, I just can’t relax by just focusing on my breath or chanting
Brilliant. I meditate daily and it's dramatically helped me.
mediation = taking time to stop, relax and see things rationally and clearly and be able to make calm decisions about your life and day afterwards -- yes of course it works
My problem is I don’t think enough. My mind is always blank. Any ideas?

Interesting when Russell said that the ocean would be the same on a molecular level.Would it? There are constant currents from upwelling from hydrothermal vents etc, so there is a continuous changing of heat, dissolved minerals etc; but if you stand back and look at the ocean as a whole,it appears 1 entity.

Useful for beginners or experienced meditators...though I believe we all attain the beginners mind when we practice :)
Meditation absolutely works! I’ve used it my whole life and after contracting meningitis in 2015, I couldn’t sleep more than 5 minutes. I started using meditation to recreate the physical sensations from my memory and retrained my brain to release the hormones necessary to sleep. I can sleep 3-4 hours now.
I think meditation is most effective when its done under instructions of a master. Because as it was said once, a person can become very good at sitting down in a meditative posture and sleep. In this case it can be said that meditation is not meditation at all.
We can't just make up forces of nature willy-nilly. Meditation makes people calmer and more clear-minded, which is great. But it has nothing to do with "a field of consciousness".
I'm currently 33 years old. I still struggle with alcohol and mental illness.
At around 20, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia/psychosis, and was bombarded with an array of debilitating drugs. Zombifying, consciousness-thieving, hospitalising (bla bla bla).
After 5 years of the medication I was on, living in the homeless system, I found myself 'getting in to', meditation. Although my practice was unguided, erratic, potentially, irreversibly-psychologically, dangerous as fuck;
Within 3 weeks of meditation, I just stopped my meds. And I never, ever touched them, again.
I'll never understand it. But, it occurred.
In absolute bi-polaris contrast, though, my (uneducated and unguided) continued practices led me into a severe state of psychosis, where I ended up in the cells, with 3 powerfully 'demonic', repetitively-defeating, swirling and attacking voices within my perception...'in my head'. (My mind snapped after 4 or 5 hours of naive meditation, focused primarily in the centre of my head).
I've had glimpses of and tasted both the unfathomable depths of the personal-connective-magic, and the extraordinary, potential, danger of meditation.
I think meditation could save the world....But with the assumed insanity and erratic-ness of the average, modern mind; it has to be done, very carefully. I believe.
@Tian Vermonntemg We all have voices of varying loudness in our heads depending on the depth of our reflectiveness. In dreams we hear things so clearly that we believe them and are effected profoundly. The dream voices are attached to memories we made during a time when our critical mind was undeveloped or forced into unconsciousness by fear. Call these memories trauma. Our life situations trigger memories of trauma. Listen to the voices for qualities that can tell you who they originated from. Think like a hypnotist and guide the voice by dialoguing with it. Pretend to be a therapist and ask questions of it. Imagine it is a spirit entity that needs to tell you something. Be kind to it and assure it that things will be ok. The whole of life is pretend anyway. If none of the above things work, hug a tree and ask for help. Be specific in a request for healing.
@Tian Vermonntemg Excellent. You have identified their behavior. That is the first step to controlling your response to "them."
Re frame their behavior as 'children needing your attention'. You will take away their power by seeing the truth that your silent witness is beyond being hurt.
It's the meaning you are putting on what they say that is keeping them alive. You are expecting them to be reasonable but they are cracked records made up from things you have been told as a child when you were looking for attention.
Imagine meeting those abusers and quietly observing them. Offer them nothing but your presence. Look them in the eyes. They are circuits in your mind that you can pull the plug on. ie. just like a real live Narc that
feeds off hurting people to balance the pain they suffered as a child.
Study Lucid Dreaming. The objective is to be awake in your dreams without shattering the dream. To observe the deeper world of yourself. Don't believe anything.
@Tian Vermonntemg You're very welcome. I hope your experiences of voices will become a resource for something creative.
A lot of people find religion through hearing voices. This can be a tragic lock down into obedience to a cult such as Christianity. If you want to see full blown insanity, visit a Charismatic Pentecostal Church. I hope you also realize you are a God in a universe of your own imagination.
Wonderful healings can occur in the space that your silent witness (I am presence) observes. Early Eckhart Tolle talks really home in on that power. The Power of Now.
Indeed meditation transformed my life. Get it out there Russel!
I don't know? I'm not going to get all woo woo. But I am going to do something with the golden ratio. There is something weird with networks I guess. Like, apparently the size of any given network is given by the number of connections each person has to the power of how many degrees of separation there is between each person. So for example if each person has 26 friends on average, and we're all separated by an average of seven degrees of separation then the size of the population will be 26 to the power of 7, which equals just over 8 billion. Or to put it another way, 7 = ln(8billion)/ln(26).
But you could get the number 7 from any combination of ln(x)/ln(y). For example if you had a cube with 6 vertices, then each of the vertices will have 3 connections each. So we could just do ln(6)/ln(3) = 1.631.... its a messy number. I don't know what bizarre shape would have such a combination as to give 7 as an answer.
But let's forget about shapes. What if we just had x and y to be less than one? - well then merely x is y to the power of 7. But here something interesting happens. If x is 0.20345, then to get x you just do y to the power of seven - which is 0.79654 to the power of 7. And what you may see is that 0.20345 + 0.79654 = 1. This is the same for any power you use, x + y will equal 1.
The golden ratio is another example of this. The square of the gloden ratio, 0.618033989... is 0.3819660116. Both these numbers added together equal 1.
By converting the numebrs to less than one, what I've done something very similar to what is known as 'Pareto Distributions' - it is something that Jordan Peterson talks about a lot - for example the 80/20 rule (that 80% of the wealth goes to 20% of the people). If you look at what I did with using values to the power of 7 (relating to 7 degrees of seapration), then you may notice that we have 0.20345 and 0.79654 as our values - these how you get the 80/20 rule, 0.2 represents 20% of the population and 1 - 0.2 (0.8) represents 80% of the wealth. So why not have a golden ratio rule of wealth distribution LOL?
I don't know enough to critically evaluate them. But there are network theories of physics that attempt to unify the non-compatable theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In physics you find a lot of squared values and square roots and pi turning up a lot.
The icosidodecahedron (a shape with 12 pentagons and 20 rectangles - similar to a football) seems to pop up a lot with theores of space time. A weird thing you can do is take a globe and then pick a point on the equator, then draw a line such that you go up 10 degrees of latitude for every 20 degrees of longitude you go across (so the line has a gradient of 0.5). You will reach the north pole by one half turn of the globe. And if you look at the globe from above you'll see it forms a fibonacci spiral (made from the golden ratio). Something really interesting happens if you then repeat this pattern on a icosidodecahedron, and even weirder if you were to then shrink that shape down by 0.618 (the golden ratio) of it's size and then put it inside another globe with the same icosidodecahedron pattern - ever noticed how a spiral on a flat sheet of paper looks like it's going off into the distance?.. Well imagine that with 60 spirals on one sphere, and then 60 inside that and 60 inside that and so on to infinity, with all the various spirals connecting up with each other in different ways depending on how you rotated the whole lot by viewing them in different orientations. A bit mad. But, I guess there's nothing in it. Nah, nothing of any significance...
I've discoverd so many practices and, secrets to strengen and empower my body, but meditation keeps you calm and collective and keeps you connected to your spiritual and higher self, and it's the only thing that's caused a true separation after around a year I was able to astral project to different realitys. And see beautiful huge magical landscapes, some worlds are purple in hue and enb abit like a game one world had a purple sky and beautiful blue stars 😍✨ and I went to this steam punk world. There was massive castle with like prepllers keeping it up, and there was loads of other flying houses and shops every where. Get meditating people also happy to share how to enter the astrals. But exercise caution you'll be going to a limitless reality with limitless possibilitys
Meditation didn't help me as much as stopping doing things I hated to do.
I like that re-framing very clever. This is a more profound comment than the entire video :)
I can change the weather all by my self 💪🏾💪🏾
Yes meditation works, then I stopped bc stupid me thought I didn’t need it anymore since I was feeling happy and guess what!? After a month or so I’m back to sadness.. I must start meditation again ❤️❤️🪂 I want to be free
I love you Russell Brand
I think one should be careful on how one meditates and what one meditates on. When I meditate, I meditate on the most high / God while being vigilant in prayer. Russell 🙏
I think that in order to get more people into meditation, we need to cut out misconceptions and false views on it, since if people see those views and discover them to be garbage, they might think that the whole meditation thing is garbage. We shouldn't believe in anything anti-scientific like what the guest presented about meditation having cause-effect relationship with global crime, etc. Meditation has a direct impact on the meditator, helping them to break free from their learned traumatic experience, including criminals. So, yes, there could be less criminals in the world because of meditation, but not through any sort of magical and new agey "global consciousness field". This view is, indeed, garbage, and people need to understand that corelation is not the same as causation. However, meditation does indeed work and could be transformative for the world.
Meditation is natural for the soul its a tool...its how you use it really. For good or evil.
How does one use meditation for evil?
It WORKS!! 🎉😇🙏🙌🎆🌌🎇MEDITATION, affects the Universe... 🌌because WE ARE ALL ONE CONSCIOUSNESS... 🌌🎆#WeAreAllTheDivineOneSoulInATemporaryHumanCostume 😇🌌🎆✨🙏🎉🙌
