Me too, it's starting to all make sense and fall into place now. It's hard to see the progress in real time as its so slow, but if I look back at myself 18 months ago when I started learning and applying this stuff, the progress has been remarkable.
Better than ever. I'm content with everything that I have and I've realized that I can't control everything that happens in my life but I can control the way I respond or react. I know that shit happens regardless and I've learned to accept anything that the universe deals me. I try to only live in the present and not think too much about the past or future.
I actually cried from joy, this was so simple and relaxing, I really let go! I feel like I just woke up from an hour long sleep, ready for my day- even though it's the end of my day. truly amazing Leo. Thank you
What does it feel like to let go, when I do it, it feels great. Sometimes it feels like I can’t let go at all and I’m just struggling to let go the entire time
I have been doing this guided meditation like 30 times probably. I haven‘t had a single depressive episode since then and I had them as long as I can remember. This habit is my tactic from now on. I don‘t want to write a list now about all the amazing benefits I got in my everyday life. All I can say is, I feel like reborn, stronger, more peaceful and motivated in doing life. And that as a single :)
Leo.... i have been meditating for 5 year.... and i have never experineced this. i have expereinced reality. i felt like i was i was just "there". Just being there. I am actaully smiling. thank you so much leo.
Wow, that was the best meditation that I ever experienced! I meditate daily for almost a year and in last months I slowly figured out that letting go is the thing. Thanks to your guidance I really grasped how to apply it. That was mindblowing. Can't wait for that edited audio, gonna use it as introduction to every session. Thanks Leo!
I never comment on these videos, but HOLY SHIT.. I've been really struggling with meditation lately, but this feels like cheating - so good - incredible.
holy shit what did i experence right now?? i am just speechless i do daily medtation for 20 a day and time doesn't pass but rn now time 20 min felt like 5 mins i'm blowen away i did't move my body for 20 min and did't scratch or touch my face/hair at the end i was laughing and felt like crying at the end by this expernce its turly amazing....
can I ask how you implemented what he said? he said "push yourself out of your skull" and "be reality". how can someone implement those things? much appreciated if you could shed some light. thanks
Been doing this with my daughter daily for months now And as some one who has practiced and tried so many different approaches and modalities I can say this is truly special and has become such a blessing in our lives Much appreciated. 🙏
I am a bit lost for words now. I've been meditating/doing breathing exercises, more or less frequently for quite some time, never like this. Not knowing what to expect, nonetheless I really tried to set aside all preconceptions about meditation. During the first half I experienced a lot of fear, anger and especially anxiety. Then something gave way - long story short, I haven't even teared up in years, this changed things. The ego got tickled a bit and I now nearly feel ashamed for using "I" in every single sentence of this comment for lack of a better word :) Leo, your work makes a lot of sense, your insight is invaluable. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
For some reason, I teared up, too. It's only my second meditation in a row. If I had to pick my thoughts.. it was something to do with the satisfaction of knowing I had let go? Just the good feeling from it... from knowing I knew it happened without "thinking" about it. I can't even describe the feeling I had when it hit. I don't want to make anyone think it was magical... but nonetheless, I had a strong feeling of joy for a short period.
@@kkyyee How so? This is the only guided meditation I've done. But it seems to me that you need to listen to a new one each time (or the same one but with a long time in between each use (so you forget)) so your mind doesn't start making associations with previous sessions. Which distracts you from letting go. Now I've written this down I think I'm exaggerating a bit. But still... what are your thoughts on this?
@@westsidesmitty1 Thanks for the response! I left a comment under Leo's video about 'do nothing technique' and I was wondering if you have any thought on it? If you don't feel like helping then that's fine too. :) Here it is: When I get conscious of the thought-story I'm having during this type of meditation, I sort of resist it. My mind has some sort of short-cut that makes it resist the monkey-mind. So then I say to myself: "Monkey-mind is OK too."' but then the thought story is gone if I don't forcefully try to remember what it was about, and then I just let it go, because I shouldn't control my mind, right? Is it important to become conscious of the thought stories you have during this type of meditation? And am I responding right when I become conscious of a thought-story? Also.... am I overthinking this?? I'm trying to improve my meditation skills. Any help would be appreciated :)
I am a person who overthinks a lot. It's been going on for so long that sometimes I completely forget that I'm in the overthinking stage. So one method I used is I scan the body through a meditation, which helps to focus in the present. But this method was more effective, I could land in myself while thinking clearly. Thank you for your time and help! 🖤
This has completely shifted my technique I went deep really quickly and stayed there...this was amazing I will practice this technique daily and journal my thoughts.. Truly appreciate your help 🙏🏾
Thank you for making this stuff public. it's been a lot of help. I like how all your lessons are matter of fact and not proper and stuffy. Reality so to speak and not fake...
@@gaurabkayastha8716 i find listening to only one guided meditation and knowing what is coming next helps me to 'let go' before Leo say it. I suppose its a little like hypnosis in that respect. My mind knows its time to shut off as soon as it starts. Its familiar. It's also good content.
@@gaurabkayastha8716 just realised i answered the question i "thought" you asked. The benifits of letting go are numerous. Probably best to study it yourself because it'll take too long in the comment section
hope you see this leo. i hope good things happen to you and you get great karma, cause ive been watching all of your videos and its helping tremendously with controlling my emotions, being stable minded, calm and have less anxiety. your the man!
This is a really good guided meditation. I listened to it 6 years ago and learned a lot from watching so many of your videos. And I listened to it again and it’s still really good. Thanks and hope you keep going with these! Because you help people that you don’t even know. You are appreciated!!
DO. MORE. OF. THESE. Please! It's just what I need to start my meditation habbit. No blablabla, but actual experiance and guidance. I have to be honest I did chop down the end of the audio file, where you say welcome back, and I continue meditation after your last word. It's so awesome!
im in love with mediation, been doing it for 20-30 min a day for over a month now. Today i feel inner peace with myself and my body, when your guided was mediation was over, i wasn't ready ironically to let go of that amazing feelings, so i decided to try for myself for another 20 minutes. I allowed my self to go so deep that i feel like i almost lost contact with my body, its amazing and i just cant look forward to see what i still have to learn!
I usually prefer no do unguided meditation but I am more open to guided meditation after watching this video. I really enjoy how Leo communicates in his videos. I am planning on meditating 1 hour every day for 2020, recording myself and making weekly time-lapse videos explaining the different meditation technique I used for the week and my day to day experience. I hope I can communicate the information in my future videos as well as Leo did in this one.
I did not know mediation could get this GOOD, I was so happy tears ran down my face :),, Thanking you Leo doesn't seem good enough, this was like a miracle :)
I just got the realization of what awareness is and what I am. I'm not this body or this mind. After you told to open the eyes I realized that all there is, is awareness in me. I felt so at peace after a long time. Probably being stoned and doing this helped with the realization in much more intensity than I had before. I'm grateful for your videos and all the work that you do.
I've been doing this for years and I never thought someone would actually put all of it into words. Listening to you is like listening to the book I wish I could figure out how to write. You really do know what you're doing
This was beyond helpful! I really feel like I now understand why people meditate. I had a really hard time before letting go of control and it was exhausting. More people should experience this! Felt effortless 💜 Thank you 🙏
This was my first time to meditate, and never have i been soo relaxed in my entire life! Not even weed comes close to this. I've never expected to be so emotional during meditation! I cracked smiles, felt relieved, calm and sensitive, Great guidance btw. It kept me alert but in a serene way. Leo is the real deal guys!
There needs to be more guided meditations like this. Too many of them have the healing music in the background, and as nice as they can be I feel they can be dramatic and can really take away from the present moment. Thank you, Leo, for this meditation.
I felt joy welling from my heart. I saw a big flower opened in beautiful display, facing up and away from me. I big pink and red exotic flower. I couldn't stop smiling. I was grateful for normalcy returning to the world. When I opened my eyes, tears dripped out of the outside corners of my eyes and down my face. Really good session.
Leo, I love listening to you. Everything you say is so profound and helpful and beneficial. All our problems come from our mind, I believe. I would love to learn to quiet my monkey mind. It would solve all my problems i think. Keep doing meditation videos. It woul totally save me.
I love the part when you said, "if you can't focus on letting go; let that go." That is what I was trying to achieve, and feel I have achieved in some sense, but never as effectively with this meditation. I would always psyche myself out, trying to not to think by THINKING about not thinking. This meditation taught me the most important lesson I've ever learned out of all guided meditations I've listened to, and that lesson is to just let it all be as it is.
I find meditation incredibly challenging, but surprisingly, this video really worked for me. It's like no other meditation video I have listened to before. Really pleased I found it.
can I ask how you implemented what he said? he said "push yourself out of your skull" and "be reality". how can someone implement those things? much appreciated if you could shed some light. thanks
@chochooshoe you can't think your way into doing it. Let go of trying to think and understand what's happening. But rather, experience what's occurring.
i have been depressed for a long time now. i have memory issues. my days are just one big blur. i just go through the motion without feeling much. i did the meditation just one time yesterday and im having such vibrant and pleasant dreams! i stopped having dreams a long time ago. even if i have any, it's unpleasant or nightmares. I'm so speechless. i can feel an inner bubble of peace. im hooked. thanks a lot, Leo ❤️
Thank you. This has been the best meditation practice ever for me. Never have I experienced the stillness, both of the mind and body, and I've been practicing fir 15 years or more. Experiencing the present moment is rare and short lived, 10 minutes to a few hours. The mind takes over and I tend to lose the present moment until practice begins the following night. Thank you again. I can now see clearly with awareness that is unclouded by thoughts for now. Will surely visit this video each day before bed time.
Letting go is mostly about letting it be. Thinking while meditating is ok, just let it be. Focusing on your bodily sensations does help. But thoughts coming in is ok. Guided meditation also requires more silence. Great session Leo. Thank you for this.
First time I wake up at 4 am in a few months. This was definitely subconsciously because of some type of synchrony I got from watching so many of your videos and knowing you put them out at this time, amazing.
I could not be more grateful for this aid, I had great difficulty with meditation but this experience was extremely powerful The universe applauds actions not thoughts
Thank you, Leo, for a very powerful meditation. I've soon been meditation consistently for a year, and this was just mindblowing. Thank you for this, I'll definately be integrating this in my practices.
I started meditating today after I went out of practice for a long time. I've lived a hectic lifestyle during this time. I watched another video of yours that had a similar self-reflective orientation, and felt rather hungry in the middle, so I ended up going to have a meal. The second time I tried being grounded today, I watched this video in the afternoon, and as you said 'relaxed like you'd watch tv', I started to feel rather sleepy, with the feeling of uncomfortable body ache in my neck and head, so I ended up going to sleep. The third time I tried being grounded today, I watched this video again in the evening. This time I finally finished the full session and I feel that my mind is so relaxed (while all my physical needs are met haha). Before I tried picking up meditation, I went to do neck & shoulder massage with a friend last night to help my body relax and get ready for picking up yoga (also out of practice). I practiced doing yoga this morning before I started meditation. I think I'd like to dance a little improvisationally to some beautiful feminine music later after this meditation session, because I feel like doing it. My body being able to move easily in a relaxed way is a sign that I'm getting back my creativity.
The best experience I’ve ever had meditating so far, I could feel the overwhelming joy just before you said anything I actually started crying , as well as feeling the merging with reality. Thank you very much Leo , God bless you for the knowledge you are giving out !!
can I ask how you implemented what he said? he said "push yourself out of your skull" and "be reality". how can someone implement those things? much appreciated if you could shed some light. thanks
lovely. as a certified meditation teacher for almost a decade and a AVID meditator for the last two decades I have to say that this felt like a masculine meditation. I can appreciate that. What a nice offering. Thank you. :)
I've been doing this meditation almost every day for 6 months. my mind is so much better for having done it. today for the first time I did it submerged in water up to my neck in a pool. I got so much deeper without having to hold up my arms legs etc just felt so connected to the water. thanks for everything Leo.
I've been listening to this meditation almost nightly and I have to say it works extremely well for me. This last time though, it might have actually helped me realize something interesting... For a while now, due to some experiences of mine I've had some struggles with a phobia - panic attacks, aversion of subjects relating to it, the whole nine yards. I've been working through it as best I can, but there's one thing that always seems to stump me. I've managed to stop most of my panic attacks and psychogenic seizures, but any time I get distressed I suddenly find that I am really unable to think, to the point where I can't even form sentences anymore. I fully realize that I'm having a fear reaction, I consider those experiences to be pseudo-panic attacks, but because the reaction itself scares me and I can't reason through any of it it's a problem that tends to spiral out of control. That's what was starting to happen again when I decided to sit down and listen to this meditation. What I realized was that.... my mindset while that was happening was actually very similar to the meditative mindset. It made me realize that what's happening there that scares me so bad is that I am being forcefully pulled out of my own head. It was actually far easier than usual to focus on what was going on in my body then on my thoughts. That has a lot of things going through my mind now, but in the end this is a problem I've been struggling with for years and I believe your mediation just helped me solve it. Thank you so much!
Hey Leo, I've been listening to this track daily for the past two weeks or so. I'm a children's teacher in Japan currently. I have to travel 2-4 hours everyday on packed trains and buses to different schools. I am as well following my dream of being an artist. All of this pressure had left me emotionally overwhelmed until I watched your videos and began the practice of meditating. I appreciate you and your awesome personality. Thank you for the great videos, Z
This was an incredible meditation! So powerful. Thank you for this- this is exactly the kind of going back to the basics type meditations I love to see 😍
I have being doing Hatha yoga since 1970, and various meditation techniques since about 1978, but I have never heard such 'down to earth' techniques and instructions before as Leo gives. It is a refreshing thing to practice meditation now more than ever since the one thing I ALWAYS experienced in the past is that if I wasn't having third eye experiences, I always felt like I wasn't doing it right. Leo's descriptions of 'letting go' and the monkey mind and letting go of control is awakening a new side of meditation I have not experienced before. I am going to view and save all of Leo's videos for further instruction and practice.
this video let me recognize that awareness is being. therefore making "awareness effortless" is making being effortless which gives you positive association with your self-image.
Leo. Thanks. I have been doing your guided meditation for three days now, it’s so nice to let it go. Today was a bit hard as I could feel my pulse more and my breathing shorter then the two first times. I will continue meditating with you here as I see a great benefit from it. by the way...Awesome videos you have here. I hope your life is going great.
i"ve been coming back to this vid just to listen to your guide , and after years, this is still one of the greatest meditation guides i have ever seen.
damn, i went so deep into meditation that when i opened my eyes, i was actually completely leaning my body to the right and when i pulled myself back to the center, i felt like i was still in that leaning position. i layed myself down, closed my eyes and really felt like i was levitating and flying around everywhere for a minute. not sure if that was supposed to happen, though but i felt like it was right, and that's probably what matters. i'm way more relaxed now, i had this neck and chest pain bothering me for two days and while they are still here, i barely notice them and i honestly stopped caring. great video, will be doing this from now on 2x a day to see what happens and since i'm gonna start taking some tai chi lessons, this will probably come in handy
Psychedelic Traveller ASMR ahah really doubt it. probably just a weird feeling of dizziness after breathing in and out so many times lol but this was easily the deepest i felt so far while doing meditation. i only started meditating last week, i'm still a newbie lol this will help a lot i think
nikki desai damn, really? wow so he's right about all these methods since i didn't feel nothing at all during my prior meditations. i kinda felt like i was in a empty room after a while this time around, maybe that's why i was leaning myself to the right, i lost orientation. not sure how and why the rest happened though, since i'm new to this. maybe he will see this and give me an insight
My life has significantly improved since I started watching your channel. Thanks Leo
Me too, it's starting to all make sense and fall into place now. It's hard to see the progress in real time as its so slow, but if I look back at myself 18 months ago when I started learning and applying this stuff, the progress has been remarkable.
I reccomend you to watch Sadhguru...
+Adam TONEVIEM hey do u also listen to him. I find sadhguru's wisdom out if this world. he is amazing.
How is it now? your life. (compared to when you wrote your comment)
Better than ever. I'm content with everything that I have and I've realized that I can't control everything that happens in my life but I can control the way I respond or react. I know that shit happens regardless and I've learned to accept anything that the universe deals me. I try to only live in the present and not think too much about the past or future.
This was more powerful than I expected.
Guided meditation starts at 3:35 for those of us who likes to come back to this video every day. Thanks for getting me into meditation Leo!
Does anyone else love the way Leo says "There is nowhere to run."
I actually cried from joy, this was so simple and relaxing, I really let go! I feel like I just woke up from an hour long sleep, ready for my day- even though it's the end of my day. truly amazing Leo. Thank you
This began the process of remembering the ever-present Peace and Happiness inherent in being/Consciousness, still a gem 7 years later! ☀️🙏❤

This is incredible. I dont even want to come back. I want to stay like that forever .

My revelation was that I'm attached to the idea of being enlightened. I'm now letting go of that desire. Great meditation Leo.
There needs to be more guided meditations like this. Too many of them have the healing music in the background, and as nice as they can be I feel they can be dramatic and can really take away from the present moment. Thank you, Leo, for this meditation.
I felt joy welling from my heart. I saw a big flower opened in beautiful display, facing up and away from me. I big pink and red exotic flower. I couldn't stop smiling. I was grateful for normalcy returning to the world. When I opened my eyes, tears dripped out of the outside corners of my eyes and down my face. Really good session.
Leo, I love listening to you. Everything you say is so profound and helpful and beneficial. All our problems come from our mind, I believe. I would love to learn to quiet my monkey mind. It would solve all my problems i think. Keep doing meditation videos. It woul totally save me.
I love the part when you said, "if you can't focus on letting go; let that go."
That is what I was trying to achieve, and feel I have achieved in some sense, but never as effectively with this meditation.
I would always psyche myself out, trying to not to think by THINKING about not thinking.
This meditation taught me the most important lesson I've ever learned out of all guided meditations I've listened to, and that lesson is to just let it all be as it is.
I find meditation incredibly challenging, but surprisingly, this video really worked for me. It's like no other meditation video I have listened to before. Really pleased I found it.
can I ask how you implemented what he said? he said "push yourself out of your skull" and "be reality". how can someone implement those things? much appreciated if you could shed some light. thanks
@chochooshoe you can't think your way into doing it. Let go of trying to think and understand what's happening. But rather, experience what's occurring.
i have been depressed for a long time now. i have memory issues. my days are just one big blur. i just go through the motion without feeling much.
i did the meditation just one time yesterday and im having such vibrant and pleasant dreams! i stopped having dreams a long time ago. even if i have any, it's unpleasant or nightmares. I'm so speechless.
i can feel an inner bubble of peace. im hooked. thanks a lot, Leo ❤️
this was the first time i meditated and i felt so peaceful something that i havent felt in 10 years
This is the best meditation for me. I got “acceptance “ from this my mind actually quieted down.
This man is transforming the world. Leo, you are _/\_
Thank you. This has been the best meditation practice ever for me. Never have I experienced the stillness, both of the mind and body, and I've been practicing fir 15 years or more. Experiencing the present moment is rare and short lived, 10 minutes to a few hours. The mind takes over and I tend to lose the present moment until practice begins the following night. Thank you again. I can now see clearly with awareness that is unclouded by thoughts for now. Will surely visit this video each day before bed time.
Thanks for that Leo. That was so amazing, I wanted to stay there for longer than this video.
Letting go is mostly about letting it be. Thinking while meditating is ok, just let it be. Focusing on your bodily sensations does help. But thoughts coming in is ok.
Guided meditation also requires more silence.
Great session Leo. Thank you for this.
First time I wake up at 4 am in a few months. This was definitely subconsciously because of some type of synchrony I got from watching so many of your videos and knowing you put them out at this time, amazing.
I could not be more grateful for this aid, I had great difficulty with meditation but this experience was extremely powerful
The universe applauds actions not thoughts
Thank you, Leo, for a very powerful meditation. I've soon been meditation consistently for a year, and this was just mindblowing. Thank you for this, I'll definately be integrating this in my practices.
I started meditating today after I went out of practice for a long time. I've lived a hectic lifestyle during this time. I watched another video of yours that had a similar self-reflective orientation, and felt rather hungry in the middle, so I ended up going to have a meal.
The second time I tried being grounded today, I watched this video in the afternoon, and as you said 'relaxed like you'd watch tv', I started to feel rather sleepy, with the feeling of uncomfortable body ache in my neck and head, so I ended up going to sleep.
The third time I tried being grounded today, I watched this video again in the evening. This time I finally finished the full session and I feel that my mind is so relaxed (while all my physical needs are met haha).
Before I tried picking up meditation, I went to do neck & shoulder massage with a friend last night to help my body relax and get ready for picking up yoga (also out of practice). I practiced doing yoga this morning before I started meditation.
I think I'd like to dance a little improvisationally to some beautiful feminine music later after this meditation session, because I feel like doing it. My body being able to move easily in a relaxed way is a sign that I'm getting back my creativity.
Thank you for the idea of "letting go"! I needed something like this for so long! I just have improved my practice!
Resting the mind and merging with Reality. Thanks so much 🙏 And for doing your best to give direct, clear access. Beautiful.
This was amazing. I really felt one with reality for the first time in my life. Thanks Leo.
The best experience I’ve ever had meditating so far, I could feel the overwhelming joy just before you said anything I actually started crying , as well as feeling the merging with reality. Thank you very much Leo , God bless you for the knowledge you are giving out !!
can I ask how you implemented what he said? he said "push yourself out of your skull" and "be reality". how can someone implement those things? much appreciated if you could shed some light. thanks
omg! exactly what I was waiting for from this channel! Thanks Leo!!!
me too :)

Keep coming back to this. It’s my favourite meditation. Thanks Leo!
This was great. Definitely going to make this my daily meditation.
me too:)
Harr1sonDylan yep
lovely. as a certified meditation teacher for almost a decade and a AVID meditator for the last two decades I have to say that this felt like a masculine meditation. I can appreciate that. What a nice offering. Thank you. :)
I feel like I fell asleep and woke up a couple times... this was great
I've been doing this meditation almost every day for 6 months. my mind is so much better for having done it. today for the first time I did it submerged in water up to my neck in a pool. I got so much deeper without having to hold up my arms legs etc just felt so connected to the water. thanks for everything Leo.
Lmao I was so happy near the end and I couldn't explain why. It was like a relief or something.
That’s exactly what happened to me, Christopher.
I cried at the end when Leo said, “There’s nothing else.”
Profound peace and serenity.
Right with you Chris!
Thank yoy for changing my life. I am learning so much. Thank you for all that you do and the special way you do it! So much appreciated!
I've been listening to this meditation almost nightly and I have to say it works extremely well for me.
This last time though, it might have actually helped me realize something interesting... For a while now, due to some experiences of mine I've had some struggles with a phobia - panic attacks, aversion of subjects relating to it, the whole nine yards. I've been working through it as best I can, but there's one thing that always seems to stump me. I've managed to stop most of my panic attacks and psychogenic seizures, but any time I get distressed I suddenly find that I am really unable to think, to the point where I can't even form sentences anymore. I fully realize that I'm having a fear reaction, I consider those experiences to be pseudo-panic attacks, but because the reaction itself scares me and I can't reason through any of it it's a problem that tends to spiral out of control.
That's what was starting to happen again when I decided to sit down and listen to this meditation. What I realized was that.... my mindset while that was happening was actually very similar to the meditative mindset. It made me realize that what's happening there that scares me so bad is that I am being forcefully pulled out of my own head. It was actually far easier than usual to focus on what was going on in my body then on my thoughts.
That has a lot of things going through my mind now, but in the end this is a problem I've been struggling with for years and I believe your mediation just helped me solve it. Thank you so much!
Thank you sooo much for this comment!!! My son needed this!!! Much love to you♥️
Hey Leo,
I've been listening to this track daily for the past two weeks or so. I'm a children's teacher in Japan currently. I have to travel 2-4 hours everyday on packed trains and buses to different schools. I am as well following my dream of being an artist. All of this pressure had left me emotionally overwhelmed until I watched your videos and began the practice of meditating. I appreciate you and your awesome personality.
Thank you for the great videos,
Z
This was an incredible meditation! So powerful. Thank you for this- this is exactly the kind of going back to the basics type meditations I love to see 😍
I have being doing Hatha yoga since 1970, and various meditation techniques since about 1978, but I have never heard such 'down to earth' techniques and instructions before as Leo gives. It is a refreshing thing to practice meditation now more than ever since the one thing I ALWAYS experienced in the past is that if I wasn't having third eye experiences, I always felt like I wasn't doing it right. Leo's descriptions of 'letting go' and the monkey mind and letting go of control is awakening a new side of meditation I have not experienced before. I am going to view and save all of Leo's videos for further instruction and practice.
Leo, you should do a video explaining prayer. It's a topic that I know you can shed some powerful insight in.
I understood what meditation is with this video. I cannot stress enough how simply and clearly had been put
thank you Leo, im an old fan, you make my life much better and eazier
this video let me recognize that awareness is being. therefore making "awareness effortless" is making being effortless which gives you positive association with your self-image.
Leo. Thanks. I have been doing your guided meditation for three days now, it’s so nice to let it go. Today was a bit hard as I could feel my pulse more and my breathing shorter then the two first times. I will continue meditating with you here as I see a great benefit from it. by the way...Awesome videos you have here. I hope your life is going great.
Best guided meditation I've done on so far on youtube
This was amazing! I have never experienced anything like this, thank you Leo!
i"ve been coming back to this vid just to listen to your guide ,
and after years, this is still one of the greatest meditation guides i have ever seen.
wow. that was the most amazing experience. thank you for that, for showing me that
One of the very best meditations I have experienced. Thank you so much!!!
damn, i went so deep into meditation that when i opened my eyes, i was actually completely leaning my body to the right and when i pulled myself back to the center, i felt like i was still in that leaning position. i layed myself down, closed my eyes and really felt like i was levitating and flying around everywhere for a minute. not sure if that was supposed to happen, though but i felt like it was right, and that's probably what matters. i'm way more relaxed now, i had this neck and chest pain bothering me for two days and while they are still here, i barely notice them and i honestly stopped caring. great video, will be doing this from now on 2x a day to see what happens and since i'm gonna start taking some tai chi lessons, this will probably come in handy
astral projection? lol
Psychedelic Traveller ASMR ahah really doubt it. probably just a weird feeling of dizziness after breathing in and out so many times lol but this was easily the deepest i felt so far while doing meditation. i only started meditating last week, i'm still a newbie lol this will help a lot i think
u astral projected
nikki desai damn, really? wow so he's right about all these methods since i didn't feel nothing at all during my prior meditations. i kinda felt like i was in a empty room after a while this time around, maybe that's why i was leaning myself to the right, i lost orientation. not sure how and why the rest happened though, since i'm new to this. maybe he will see this and give me an insight
keep practicing ☺ don't try too hard though😄
Thank you so much, my life teacher and guid, you have changed my life 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
fully letting go and surrendering feels impossible at the moment. I get glimpses.
I'll put in the work.. ery day!
Thanks Leo. This worked for me and I'm 82 and very ADHD and practically nothing else has. Amazing. I'm doing it every day now.
