Spot on Kumail. The simple act of realising you're not in the moment is a powerful tool of mindfulness
You're not crazy Conan, "monkey mind" is an actual term they use in meditation. It refers to how your thoughts jump around every which way and it feels like you can't control them. Meditation is basically about trying to calm the monkey mind.
Exactly! A lot of people get discouraged by this but it's really not a bad thing at all. Every time you realize you've lost focus, bringing yourself back to the meditation object strengthens your awareness and through doing that many times, you can become more mindful. It's like working out for your brain.
Some days that monkey is A LOT harder to calm than usual, but I'd argue that those days are better for overall improvement than the effortless ones!
Kumail was not kidding when he said he's Conans BEST friend 😂
I think we might have a legit pickup here, in terms of finding Conan a real friend. Just a question of scheduling lol.
Watching Conan listen to Kumail describe meditating and touching the table reminded me of Conan yelling at Jordan in Italy about touching the wall!
"This guy is perving out touching a wall!"
hilarious 😂 and kumail's meditation advice is spot on
This Kumail Nanjiani interview on the podcast is by far the best of the "Returns" episodes.
Vapasana Meditation is- Focus on your breath- Wherever you feel it the most (Chest, Stomach, Throat, Nose). If a thought comes up- Gently come back to the breath. Don't beat yourself up. Just focus on your breathing. Practice, Practice, Practice. Always coming back to the breath. The mind will eventually calm down and sharpen. Meditation is just focusing on 1 thing.
I understood your reference Conan, you're not 'crazy'! In meditation we use monkey mind as an analogy for an unfocused usually anxious mind, and Conan just took it up a 1000 notches to 1000 monkeys in his head 😂And the discussion about mindful eating haha so funny!
I LOVE Kumail's example of touching the table as a way to ground himself back to the present moment. Damn But it's actually REALLY hard focusing on 'nothing' during meditation because what even is that; seems almost unimaginable. The best meditation is to focus on your breath, easiest thing to hone in on at any time, focusing on how the breath moves the body, through the nose, how the chest/shoulders rise and fall, etc. I had to use guided meditation in the beginning to get used to it because I used to be an anxious mess. It becomes much easier over time (with LOTS of practice). Good luck to anyone trying meditation and/or mindfulness! You got this!
Meditation takes repeated practice like anything else 💕🙏
Conan: look up Dzogchen meditation. You just haven’t had a good teacher try different styles. Anyone can meditate! It may be different for you but advanced meditators will know how to manage it. My friend had schizophrenia and he manages it with meditation but he hired a full time Buddhist to help him!
Try guided meditation. Even a 3 minute one. Good for beginners or people with focus issues.
As someone with somewhat severe ADHD, I can totally relate to Conan (minus the murdering everyone part 😅).
There is always chaos happening in my mind, never a quiet moment for me to collect myself or think a single linear thought. The *one* time I successfully meditated-almost exactly one year ago from writing this-I literally cried because that was my first time, possibly ever, experiencing what a quiet mind is like. I was so excited, amazed, and shocked that I had to tell a friend about it immediately, I didn’t know what else to do 😂. I’ve never been able to replicate it since then, despite even practicing the same meditation technique, which doesn’t really help with the depression part.
So when Conan is making these jokes using metaphors, I genuinely understood exactly what he was saying. And when he basically said, in a defeated tone, “no one here understands me, I apologize,” my heart sank. I get that he’s still joking a bit, but that’s exactly how it is. You exhibit ADHD symptoms or try to explain the chaos, then you read the room, then apologize for even saying anything.
Chris S. I did not the chaos in my mind when I was young Yet had the hyperfocus and creativity, there was no understanding of inattentive attention deficit in the Northeast (Connecticut and New York State) in Schools, just medication of children exhibiting hyperactivity. I am so sorry you cannot find Peace now in your mind yet have seen much Respect on the Internet from Practicing M.D.s on the subject. I really Hope you get the help you need because now in my 50's I can relate to the Distracted Mind. Bless You x
I'm exactly the same...
Notice how everyone in the room with him still answered his question, while continuing with the humor and laughs but still giving him their love and support, though.
It certainly can feel that way sometimes; but giving voice to things, as best we can, in the moments that we feel safe in/are right to...can be an incredibly relieving and emotionally uplifting experience.
Besides, people apologize for things that they shouldn't be apologizing for all the time! 😄
Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation. Its a voice-guided mindfulness thing. Worked wonders for my adhd.
Has conan officially said he has adhd? I often wondered
Kumail is genuinely funny and quick-witted.
No one has said that since his podcast ended.
I'm the same way..I'm an entertainer so being in that moment I'm totally ok..its when I'm not w/ others ..when I'm not entertaining is when I'm not ok!
What is meditation?
Awareness of just awareness…
The essence of being alive. A stage with no actors/object/ideas/words…just awareness. Instead of having thoughts for its pleasure, awareness’s pleasure comes from going deeper, there is “something to do” or let happen, it’s a dive into deeper levels.
"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times..." - Damn Monkeys!!
very good. 😂😂😂I never tried meditation, but that is good advice
Lol, Matt. I love you guys so very much!
Having David Lynch on the show to talk about meditation to Conan would be quite something.
This was surprisingly helpful and I totally get the 1000 monkeys needing Adderall analogy
Conan knows everything..
I have to say work is worship
Conan, try adopting a mantra to calm those unruly monkeys. I also gaze at a candle flame whilst repeating my mantra until I’m no longer in my body. It’s a trick to get there quicker. Much love from Long Beach. 💜💜💜
Meditation: get comfortable. Then start thinking about your toes, try to feel them without moving them or touching them. Locate them and feel them. One by one, each toe. Then move to the foot, the bottom of the feet, the top of the feet, then ankle. Try to locate them in your head and feel them. Before you get to knees, you are "in it".
From his webbed toes podcast, I think he might have a difficult time thinking about his toes…
Somebody tell Conan there are meditations where he doesn’t have to sit still!
There are? 😯
@@morrownow totally. Breathing and visual meditations are the most common, but that is only one piece of the mindfulness pie, and different minds need different kinds of mindfulness practices. Conan could probably find something aside from comedy to get that mindful recovery time.
Yes! I love walking meditations personally, and there are lots to listen to. A good free app to begin with is Mindfulness Coach by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Video you Good I love
Gourley and Nanjiani in the same room feels like 2014 Nerdist.
There's lots of ways. Running helps me. With or without music. I usually do zero music though
And there's Self Inquiry. It's basically ask yourself "to whom do my thoughts occur?" Obviously the answer is "to me"
So then think really deeply on what that me is. It observes your mind, so at the ground level, it has to be separate from your mind. (Anything to do with thoughts, feeling etc I classify as Mind). Basic logic says the observer and the observed have to be separate from each other
But then you'll realize that you are "pure awareness" and then if you think about it you'll realize that since that "pure awareness" doesn't have any qualities, that means it's exactly the same for all of us.
So even though it sounds super annoying and new agey, we literally are all "one"
Kumail Nanjiani was going to Pixar Animation Studio, Kumail Nanjiani wants to perform Fantastic Beasts and Kumail Nanjiani is gonna be in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.
Kumail Nanjiani is love. Kumail Nanjiani is life.
Turn some lights on in the studio.
Conan is an Aries so yes
Its more like a bundle of little clurichaun and/or leprechaun!!!
My meditation is me throwing bagels at the wall.....
5:42..." thinking " Meditation is whenever your thinking about something other than your thoughts. Activities bring a meditative state. It could be anything, people who use machines will experience it along with becoming a cyborg (union between man and machine).
If you can't meditate alone then listen listen Listen Truly listen to a guided meditation online
Try Sadhguru’s meditation. I swear it’s life changing
Damn tasty Mexican pizzas 😂
Have a Merry Christmas 🌻 🕊🌲✝️
Take care guys.
Hi yall
Hello 👋
To Conan - What you're doing here, during this podcast, that is MEDITATION. Meditation doesn't always look like sitting still and closing eyes. Peace.
Aww
That sounds really nice and heartwarming, but is unbelievably inaccurate. Lol
@@Nn-uh2kb it is absolutely accurate
@@Nn-uh2kb it's almost like the word meditation can mean more than one thing. Crazy, right?
Western ideology has butchered the meaning of meditation 🧘♀️ 🧘♂️
Back in the day those monkeys would have been busy with the typewriters
The main reason people feel like this is because there’s something missing in their lives!…. U can deny it all u want but once u bring God into your life that solves everything…. Depression/anxiety all of it will go away instantly and u feel at ease… this is because we all have a natural tendency to want to believe in a higher power!
Wish i could watch the full video of the podcast
Ravioli eyes 😂
it's the aries energy in conan
I always wondered what kind of person came up with that joke about Mr. Burns forcing a bunch of monkeys to write a novel. Now I know.
Whenever people talk about "being present" and the way their degree of consciousness dictates their interaction with the world, I wish they would use Heideggerian terminology, just because it would help paint a really precise definition of what they mean. As such, the conversation presumes a high degree of shared understanding that I don't think innately exists. There's an untapped conversation here in regards to the modalities of Dasein and the interplay comedy has between states like _present-at-hand_ and _ready-at-hand,_ because the fundamental ontology of comedy is probably the most fruitful social domain there is because comedy is practically pure etymology.
That’s not an eating problem? Classic
(mostly copied from a comment thread for better visibility)
More often than not, this "I cannot meditate" talk is the result of unrealistic expectations. The biggest mistake people make is thinking that meditation is about "achieving zen" or nirvana, being instantly totally relaxed and in the moment, not a thought in their mind, and if that doesn't happen, then they must be doing it wrong. NO. Your mind generates thoughts, that's just what it does. That is its job, just like your heart's job is to pump blood through your body to get oxygen and nutrients to all the cells. Your mind will NEVER stop doing that. Meditation is not about "stopping your mind", as that is an impossible task, it is about NOTICING what's happening in the present, including thoughts, as it occurs. Not just thinking and being absorped by the thoughts, but WITNESSING what is going on as it happens from a calm, neutral, and non-judgmental place. To even be able to get to that place, you need something like the breath as an anchor to come back to once you realize that you've been distracted.
So your ONE AND ONLY JOB in a focus meditation (awareness meditation is likely not going to be a worthwhile approach for a beginner) is to bring your attention back to your object of meditation (e.g. the breath) once you notice you've lost focus. That's it. It's not about trying to silence your mind, it's not about *trying* to relax or get anywhere other than where you currently are. If you make meditation into a means to an end to achieve some goal that is in the future (even if that future is just a few minutes or seconds from now), like silencing your mind, relaxing, getting to any kind of altered state, you've already lost the plot, because to desperately want to get to the future is to live in non-acceptance of the present.
Also, there is a learning curve to meditation as there is a learning curve to every other skill. You have to allow yourself to completely suck at first and keep at it. I mean, you wouldn't expect to be able to play a Beethoven piano sonata after practicing for a total of 90 mins either, right? Or get your black belt after training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for four weeks? So why do we expect to sit down and instantly turn into Buddhist monks? In that vein, starting small is also good advice. Meditating for 5 or even 2 minutes every day is way better than attempting to do 20 mins once and then not meditating for another 6 months. Once you have established the habit, you can then increase your time.
I added up the run times of all the Kumail video clips, they total 49 and a half minutes. The complete episode is just 1 hour and 2 minutes, which is about enough to fit a 50-minute interview along with the usual Matt and Sona stuff. So if they've already uploaded seemingly all the video footage anyway, WHY CAN'T THEY JUST RELEASE THE COMPLETE INTERVIEW ON VIDEO? What harm would be done by that?
i eat fast because i have always had 1/2 hour for lunch

It’s not literally meditating but it has helped a lot.
Once the breathing is sorted out it becomes easier to meditate
@Officialteamcoco537 to anyone that sees this, this isn’t real.
I wonder why they do this. It always boils down to money.
We need the things money buys us. Money is suppose to make life easier but it just made things like scams and ads possible.
Pakistan Zindabad!🇵🇰
Conan cannot do meditation because
Wanaaa waneee
Try meditating while listening to white noise….
it was the best of time, it was the blurst of times...
Please put me on your show Conan. I have almost something kinda cool to offer the world
I think the fast eating thing is likely a neurodivergent thing but I don’t want to assume anything. Okay now he said the monkey thing definitely adhd Conan.
Yoga...thanks to hinduism.🙌

Patent Tryptophan
