It took me nearly 3 minutes of watching this video to realise you weren't wearing a headband but an actual hat.
Kyle0ng hahaha I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
omg... its a hat!!
Omg its a mask!
I can no longer concentrate on what he is speaking, but the head band.

Completely agree, compassion/kindness meditation has also improved my overall happiness. I have the most powerful experience when I meditate thinking and wishing well on a person(s) who have hurt me deeply. When the thoughts of anger towards that person return, I again mediate wishing them happiness and good. This is so difficult to do at times, but I can't describe the peace, freedom and contentment I feel after.
The most difficult part of meditation is understanding what it actually is and why you should do it. Great video.
TM is simply a more enhanced form of normal mind-wandering rest, and teh reason why you do it is the same reason why you take a break or nap or sleep at night: it makes the rest of your day better.
It’s not difficult at all just read rig Veda all the instructions Are given in rig ved for meditation.
Seriously, this was the problem for me for YEARS. Everybody who tried to introduce me to meditation in the past was some hippy type. I asked "what are you doing?" They said "just be". That answer makes sense to me now that I have a much better understanding of meditation, but it's absolutely useless to somebody who doesn't. It also didn't help when I followed up with "why? What does that mean? What does that do?" And I shit you not, almost all of them responded with "I don't know, just be."
Be, not do
Be you soul
Not your body
Not mind
Not thoughts
Not your experiences
Just soul
Meditation has greatly improved my life. One suggestion is to try the 'body scan'. Imagine a horizontal line scanning from your feet to the top of your head. You 'feel' the scan up and down. If I am distracted it gives me something to focus on.
Great video Tim! Keep up the good work. 🏄🏻
It's nice how Tim actually offers practical insight about how to do stuff, without the need for us to get our heads around things.
You put words to concepts I'd been unable to properly describe. Tim Ferriss thank you for being all that you are!
Thank you Tim for this wonderful video!! Sending you happy and positive vibes!!! ❤️🙂
I love this style of video from you. Thanks for the always great infoTim!
As usual... after hours of researching some critical, nuanced topic, the most impactful and concise answers are in a TF clip. Thank-you.
I was already a 2 x per day meditator (Headspace), but your information was still invaluable, and surprising, for reasons I won't go into. You're the MAN!!
Really appreciate these videos, Tim, l am learning a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video it was super helpful. I was thinking about meditation today I'm going to take this as a sign and start in the morning. Thanks again
you're killing it, love the videos !!
my phone broke for a month and the first week was kinda hard but during that months I went into a pace radically novel to my body. it felt so good and I felt so calm, especially at night when going to sleep and when waking up in the morning. kinda felt like a child actually. anyways it is understandable that we do need our cellphones why I am using f.lux and will 100% start putting my phone on flight mode and going to sleep without it. then wake up and then meditate and THEN turn the phone on. thanks Tim /Hugo
LOVE the 3 breath idea. I tell people to meditate for 10 seconds. That's it. This way developing the daily habit is easy. This is how I started out in April 2017. I'd be OK with 10 seconds but would end up meditating for 3-7 minutes most of the time. I've meditated daily since then and am now at 30 minutes per day within multiple sessions.
When evaluating the possible causes of different outcomes in regards to effective meditation, there were some very valid points made. Great Video Tim, I'm a huge fan.
One needn't coerce oneself into, but comfortably begin meditating daily after watching this. A big thank you, Tim! :)
I have been thinking about this for the last two weeks! Thanks Tim!
3 Tips on HOW to start meditating:
1. Remove all distractions - find a quiet place
2. Calm down - the simple and natural way is slow down your breathing
3. Direct the mind - focus on a certain subject (concentration meditation) or start observing (mindfulness meditation). Its two different types of meditation
TM is a major meditation method
Thanks Tim much appreciate the pragmatic approach here!
You're a legend Tim!
Great post. Thanks for that. Very honest about meditation. I follow others who aren’t involved in the TM group and doing just fine.
I am having trouble clearing my mind of that hat/ headband illusion. Love ya, Tim Tim Talk Talk :)
Make a video about that amazing plant wall you have!
Thank you man, appreciate it
Great video!!
Thank you Tim.
Thank you Tim
I wanna see a house tour. Looks like a nice pad.
After a lifetime as a transcedental meditator I found Abraham Hicks. This is one thing Abraham says about why it is important for us to meditate.
The process below is excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Ashland, OR on May 16, 2000.
“Here is the process of meditation that if we were in your physical places we would utilize: Every day for 10 or 15 minutes, and not for much more than that, we would sit quietly by ourselves somewhere. Maybe under a tree, maybe in our car, maybe in the bathroom, someplace where we would not be interrupted.
We would do our best to shut down our physical senses. In other words, we would draw the curtains if it is bright. We would close our eyes. We would put ourselves in a place where there is not much sound. We really would not even play music. Some people play music, but even that can be distracting in nature. Something like the ticking of a clock, or the dripping of a faucet, or the trickling of a waterfall, something of that nature can be very soothing. And some music falls into that same category. But it must be something that does not stimulate thought.
And we would focus inward, even on our breathing. We would be consciously aware of air in, and we would be consciously aware of air out. We would concentrate on long breaths in, and we would concentrate on long breaths out. We would breathe air in, and when we thought it was all our lungs would hold, we would bring still more in. And when we think it is still all our lungs could hold we would breathe more air in. And then, at a place of full expansion of lungs, we would take a long, slow, delicious time to let the air out. And our intention would be nothing more than being in this moment, and being consciously aware of breathing. We would let it be our fullest responsibility. Not fixing breakfast, not combing hair, not wondering how someone is doing, not thinking about yesterday, not worrying about tomorrow, not focusing on anything in this moment except air in, and air out.
Now, during this process, within 2 or 3 days of doing it, you’re going to begin to feel a detachment from your physical experience. A very common thing that you will feel is a sort of numbing sensation. Some describe that they cannot tell their toe from their nose. Some, if their eyes are closed, and we recommend that, may begin to see movement of light around under their eyelids, or even flashes of color.
There is no right or wrong in this process of meditation. There is nothing that you should be reaching for. This is a state of allowing. This is a state where, for just a few moments, you stop running the show. You stop trying to make anything happen. This is your time of allowing. This is your time when you are saying unto your maker, unto your Source Energy, unto your Inner Being, unto your God… whatever you’re wanting to call it, this is your time of saying, “Here I be, in a state of allowing.” And what am I allowing? I’m allowing Source Energy to flow purely through me.
15 minutes a day of that effort will change your life. Because it will put you in the state of allowing the Energy that is natural to you to flow. You’ll feel better in the moment. You’ll feel more energized when you come out of it.
You may spend 14 minutes before you achieve any state of detachment. You might not ever be consciously aware that you’ve achieved any state of detachment. It doesn’t matter, you are making enormous progress as you allow yourself to be.
A big benefit that you’ll notice, right away, is that things that you’ve been wanting will begin showing up. “Now, why is this? Abraham, I didn’t sit and intend. I didn’t sit and set goals. I didn’t sit and clarify what I want. I didn’t tell the Universe what I wanted. How come 15 minutes of just being will set those kinds of things in motion?” Because it has always been, ask and it is given. It has never been “ask and do something right and it is given”. It has never been “ask and get worthy”. It is ask and allow. Ask and allow.
And so, every day, you’ve been asking. You’ve been launching all kinds of intentions. You cannot live in your physical body, you cannot be part of this physical environment without endless desires being born within you. And as these desires are being born within you, the Universe is answering them. And now, because of your 15 minutes of allowing, whether you were petting the cat, or practicing your breathing, whether you were listening to a waterfall or listening to happy music, or whether you were on a rampage of appreciation… what happened, for that time of allowing, is, you set up within your vibrational auric field a vibration that, for the time, was not in the state of resisting the things that you’ve been asking for. And progress is made in that time.”

Very useful video 😃🍀👍 thank you for taking the time to record it ☀️🍒🎉

Thanks for sharing, Tim! :)
Thank-You TF 😊

Great stuff, thanks for this.
Exactly, don't care about the "hippy woo woo". I care about maximising my abilities. Yes!
Bob Ryker silly boy! Hippie woo woo is all about maximizing your abilities
"There is no hat" - OSHO
I have been practicing meditation since primary school - with breaks but I always come back to it - and what works best for me is guided Wim Hof breathing. Preferably guided by Wim Hof himself, because his voice is very calming to me. With 3 cycles it has the perfect length of something like 10-15min, it makes you focus on your breath, you have the DMT component, which makes the meditation much more powerful for me. And the benefits for the immune system can be seen as a huge bonus if you are just looking for a meditation technique.
I've been trying meditation with Tibetan Bowls. It's pretty amazing but hard to concentrate. Now I'm trying using 1 song, it's working wonders. My song is Souvlaki Space Station by Slowdive
you are the best
Hi Tim, I tried 2 meditation like you said 5 seconds inhale and 10 seconds out and close my eyes and wish happiness to 3 people. The day I did it my fiancee said I am changed. Thank you so much. I am now trying to implement it in my daily schedule.
awesome
In the fire vs watching it 🔥
So I havee started meditating this week and I immediately felt diffeerences. I really don´t know, whether I am doing it right or not, but I just sit down, close my eyes, listening to meditation music and just focus on my breathing for 10 minutes. Now, where it is weekend and I didn´t meditate I immediately feel more stressed, so I will do that every morning for a while and see where it goes
There are these nice reads.... Practical meditation and The way and goal of Rajyoga... these are from 'omshantistore'.
Cheers
Awe Molly❤️

#KEEPGOINGMACHER
great
Great video. Which form of meditation did you end up sticking with? TM or Mindfulness or other?
ivanalesi Thanks. I started doing TM based on instruction on the internet(nsr, etc). I notice a huge difference after a few days of doing it. My anxiety was 11/10. Now its maybe 3/10. So far 2x a day for the last 3 days. I'm going to read up on Wim Hof breathing now.
Worked from your podcast
I've been needing to start seriously meditating, but every guide and talk on it that is popular is from a pseudoscientific dummy. So this is a treat, I trust your mind Tim. Thanks.
Dogs are always present state aware. Truth! 👍🐕🐶
I will make You and Molly part of the people I wish happiness in my loving kindness meditation. Cheers =)
what is the plants on the wall behind him ? looks like they may living structure ..
What brand is the wall plant hanging in the background?
Yeh the sculpture
very nice video!
U kick ass dude
That hat is rad!
1:21 glad you clarified
4-Hour Budda!
The Apple Watch has a Breathe app now. Reminds you to take a moment to breath throughout the day.
Is there such thing as a meditation camp for teens? I imagine it would be terribly expensive, but I think my child would really benefit from it (severe anxiety and depression). If anyone knows of one that has a good reputation, please post some information. Thanks.
Podcast by Ferriss - yeh dishes
Someone who gets why I do the way I do
Molly's so cute!! haha
Molly awwww
Killing it 💪
Just feel the air
What phone is that?
I see read about a lot of people having practiced TM for 40 or 45 years, giving them lots of calmness and energy which is great. But none of them actually mentions higher states of consciousness in daily life, or awakening say like Eckart Tolle for example.
Seeing reality for what it actually is, becoming fully present!
This leads me believe that this form of Meditation which differs from all other forms of meditation is as Osho has previous said, just a deep state of rest and nothing more. This is a concern if one want's to develop spiritually!
I don’t know him but he seems cool
What is the difference if I listen to asong on my bed laying down or sitting
10 times
Okay
With podcast
Yeah, I thought meditation was bullshit and resisted it for a long time. I hated that word "meditation". It turned me off, you know? Well out of curiosity of it I tried a guided med on youtube and bingo-- that got me started. Now I love it-- should have been doing this years ago. They should teach meditation to kids in school.
Also wondering for the people in the comment section, what form of meditation do you think is best?
l all good. Start simple pay attention to your breath. When your mind drifts non judgmentally go back to your breath. Rinse repeat. not a job to get done but an experience.
All knowledge came from india read Ridvedas Meditation is an ancient practice that is believed to originate in India several thousand years BCE. Throughout early history, the practice was adopted by neighboring countries quickly and formed a part of many religions throughout the world.
All in one take?
Classes mostly
my TM mantra is one syllable....
Amazon music has plenty of guided meditation tracks.
Is it counter-intuitive to watch this at 2x speed?
How does meditation differ from Christian prayer?
