In my opinion, there is a difference in concentrating, focusing, and meditation. In Hinduism we call these methods as tap, jap, dhyana, sadhna, samadhi and shunya. There is so much to learn by realizing your grounding in religion (so no hesitation in saying, I am a proud Hindu). I hope that there should be no taboo in being spiritual. Just my humble thoughts, stiĺl learning!
Hindu is a geographical and cultural identity, the word Hindu was coined by foreigners entering the indus valley, Sindu is the correct name for the natives of Bharat and that which is eternal ie Sanatan Dharma, it's not limited to some land or culture.
Dr Huberman thank you for this technique. I’m a big fan of your work and research. Your podcast on Leverage Dopamine is an eye opener. Thank you for your efforts to bring awareness and educate.
Though you are correct, that this video is not about relegion. A lot of the meditative techniques being studied at Stanford and other research institutes were described in texts belonging to Sanatan Dharma (most notably the Hath Yoga Pradipika and Bhagvad Gita). The techniques that were found to be effective in research studies are slight variations of what is taught by Sri Krishna in Chapter 6 of Bhagvad Gita
Thankyou for the reply, your reply really surprised me 😊 , you really have a good knowledge and understanding.. Feeling so happy and proud that people outside india study texts deeply, thanks for the bhagvadgita reference I learnt it today from you 🙏💙
This kind of meditation is most practical, reasonable and doable. I like having permission to be veer off as human do, as well as taking control of what I want to focus on. Very satisfying!
This is really working. I have been doing it for nearly one month. It is showing great effect on my decision making skills and I am able to study longer. Do it twice a day for better results. Thank you sir for this wonderful teaching. Looking forward to learn and implement more from you.
Bro he's saying to focus on both breathing n dat inch behind forehead. Are u able to do dat? Can't u just focus on d breathing coz focussing on both is not possible...atleast for ne
why don't you listen to our Hindu Gurus who have been telling you to practise Yogic Meditation since time immemorial, instead of listening to these white people????!!!!
Do your best to attend only to the third eye region. Try to breathe without thinking a lot about it. With some trying you should be able to do it without much trouble. Initially attention may alternate between breath and the third eye.
There is undoubtedly a wealth of knowledge by hindu scriptures. But most gurus of today can be shady and almost all of them claim to have a particular proprietery technique which they claim is superior. People like research backed techniques. And hence may choose to practice this technique. This doesnt really have anything to do with Dr. Huberman being white. Also this particualr technique in question just like most other techniques being studied and proving to be good are from Indian yogic literature.

This is setting a new standard. I read a book with a similar theme, and it set a new standard for me. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
Thank you for that Andrew, good realities you speak and impart. For many years one hour was the meditative timing for me. I have been doing the 15 minutes of late and it is quite a good practice. At the age of 81 wonder still presents itself in a myriad of ways. Dandy Andy!
Well done Stenen , I'm 72 and this does seem a challenging meditation practice but I intend to give it a go as I believe it may help with my creativity.Good luck to you.
To make it easier to focus, you can hover your finger in front of your third eye which is typically the point of focus. Holding your finger just close enough that you maybe feel your brow/forehead hair but you're not touching your skin to build the focus on the point. After doing this for a few minutes you let go and keep your focus on the point. Hope this helps, it helps me focus more on the meditation and the location where to keep my attention.
perhaps even more important before starting this practice, is to consider what is truly beneficial to place focus upon once it has been developed. strong focus in itself can be used for anything, including a lot of destructive things. meditation without ethics and a compassionate value system already in place can cause a lot of problems for self and others. this has been a drawback to the "secular" meditation movement.
I've already been doing this but I came from a different sector, let's say that seems very frowned upon by many of your fans. But this is Awakening your third eye lol. You might not like the term and some of the woo woo stuff that comes with it, but it's like two people doing the same thing. Just speaking a different language. For me, I wasn't crazy about the woo woo, but I knew what they were doing and what was happening to me had some real benefits. So that's why I came here, to look for the actual science because I know behind every woo woo story. There's some truth. And in many ways, more truth than science could ever tell us at this point in time.
It’s great but I will really appreciate if content creators will use original name of the practice which is Vipasna. At least peopel can find full knowledge on the practice and other resources. There is so much literature available to help by experienced people. Vipasna is the name of this practice and it’s just a tiny part of practice. One can also process emotions and heal completely through Vipasna
Im 39 years old and ive smoking weed for 20 years and i quit weed for 10 days now and i can't sleep AT ALL, few days in i was able to sleep for 3-5 days a night but now NOTHING. I've practicing meditation since 12 grade (not continuously) and its SAVING MY LIFE right now because i am able to do this for 4-5 hours at night and for the rest i let my mind do/think whatever it want. I don't know what to do with myself at this point, i am suffering like a dog... i m tired but at least my eyes are rested and i can think kinda of clearly Any advise will be GREATLY APPRECIATED

@@tahmidefaz-li3ek The mantra speed is whatever speed it is. Meaning: if you think it rapidly, that's what speed it's supposed to be. If you have pauses between each repetition, that's the speed. If you go slow, that's the speed. You meet it wherever/however it presents itself to you. Even if it feels a bit forced by you. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said in regards to the mantra that we don't want to force it, but if you have to walk up to the door and open it to let it in, then that's what you do. A lot of the time, people say that it should be effortless as if you are hearing the mantra in your head, but if you actually have to say the mantra in your head, then that's what you do.

try 60 mins meditation daily (or 40-45 mins twice daily) for a week and come back here to like this comment. meditation time is not wasted. but stay away from excess sprituality, only the technique yield the results you want
Uh, I did Scripture meditation. I memorized Psalm 91 and focused on rehursing it 100 times for 3 hours. It hurt my brain but i slept so well afterwards.
Used his technique to get out of mind racing this morning. I had to bring myself back into focus because my mind wanted to drift several times. We need to breathe so what a better way to get your mind on the here and now.
Which book, by which author, does he mean when he says "Altered States of Consciousness"? He says it is a beautiful book, which sparked my interest. But, when I went to Amazon, there were several with similar titles.
Wim Hof breathing exercises or Pranayama is a catalyst to proficient meditation. Deeply oxygenated tissues and slower breathing facilitate the desired state of consciousness.

Excellent question! I would go with the latter since it addresses meditation directly and is grounded in current research. Most likely research that Huberman is already familiar with.
he means thinking about it and feeling it, bringing all of your senses to it, feeling it basically, just try and think about it and be aware that it exist
No, absolutely not it is forbidden. If people are stupid enough to think this is the guy I should learn about meditation from or just about anything else they are complete idiots.
This gets harder every time. I'm now at day 3 and I can't even focus on the point anymore. Like it has taken away all my energy, and I fall asleep like in every other meditation. 😢
Instead of lying down or sitting, stand up. Feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, spine straight, arms by your sides, shoulders relaxed. As you keep your mind on your breathing, relax your body. Standing meditation is a core practice of Qigong, you'll find yourself returning to focus more and more as you continue to practice.
Many thanks, Dr. Huberman. Really enjoy learning from you & the knowledge you share. You hit many of the topics I'm interested in. Curious about the book you mentioned. Altered States, who is the author?
I w@s all into “monking out” as my friends and family call it, which got me nicknamed “Munk” (yes i am sadly and horribly Dyslexic BUT its misspelled on purpose)… to not offend or portray I’m actually a Monk.. or guru, sage, mystic, medicine man, prophet, etc. I Munk out for very different reasons than most and have more trouble with than most. Not only ami Dyslexic, at 12 is was discovered I have Narcolepsy/Cataplexy and Dissociative Amnesia… Something I wouldn’t wish on the most hated peon on earth. And if you picture Mr. Bean on the Narc part… nope. I instead use to terrify people because it’s basically like I pass out. So, they thought I was having some medical emergency and then no one at that time suspected Narcolepsy so they said, “Nothing wrong.” Okay that made me a FAKE TO EVERYONE! Except it kept happening and got worse. Then I go from fake to people terrifying me thinking I had a brain tumor. But a teacher noticed something that others finally started noticing. I lived most the time with my ears covered, especially at stupid pep rallies or assemblies where things were loud. It was/still is like ICE PICKS being jabbed into my melon and the. I would “check out”. So medical and neurological exams happened and Sensory Processing Disorder was instantly added to the growing list because I had PAINFUL HEARING (Hyperacusis) which wasn’t causing Narcolepsy just becoming that straw where I couldn’t fight to stay awake anymore. I can get more worn down with sound blasts than working out really hard. So I was shown how to meditate and box breathe to try and not fall asleep every time. Without meds it’s simply impossible And even with Adderall or Modafinil I can still do to sleep any time I want (at least I have the option and it lets me have 6-8 hours of mostly normal life today. The newest med WAKIX is the perfect example of why our nation is falling apart and people are losing faith in ihe lies it’s built on. That med for 60 pills (one month) retails W/o insurance at around 7,000.00 a month AND MOST INSURANCE SAY NO. So I went back to Munkin out with a whole different approach… Now I do emptiness or nothingness meditation (basically what Andrew discusses here) to NOTICE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHECK OUT… I cant do this alone BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHEN I DO! People think Narcoleptic folks are simply sleeping that’s total bs for me. I’m instantly off somewhere involved in life in some other parallel or realm and TIME THERE & time here have ZERO in common. Ten-thirty minutes here can be hours days “on the other side.” So I come back often sleep paralyzed and confused If I wake up still “on the other side.” Remember TO ME IM NEVER ALSEEP DURING THIS (usually) sometimes yes, I check out, nothing happens. I wake up and fight sleep demons the resort the day which is what I have been doing ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND ALL NIGHT… Which is why people with Narcolepsy often LIVE TOTALLY EXHAUSTED… TO US WE HARDLY EVER SLEEP, yet to the normal folks all we do is sleep. So if you know anyone with Narcolepsy cut them some slack please. Most of us are known to be very intelligent but can’t live much of a normal life and often show up as the dumbest person in the room. Why? We spend most of our LIFE FIGHTING TO STAY AWAKE and then FALL AWAKE while everyone thinks we sleep. OR IT GETS ALL WONKY and we can’t do nothing but cycle in and out of this living hell that takes so far past exhumation that (myself) will finally truly fall asleep for 12-18 hours because if I don’t my body will actually start shutting down and things get all messy from there. I Munk out to try and help regulate the severity (because it’s gonna happen regardless) AND IT HELPS PROBABLY ABOUT AS MUCH AS MY MEDS but in a totally different and fulfilling way. I lost interest because of the hoards of fake people and the masses of pure bull shit Thayer were claiming BUT I got past that and all the religious niches people try and suck others into and simply FOCUSED ON THE CRAFT. SUDDENLY, things got much better, and these weird cycles don’t last as long.
if somebody loses their mind or went crazy, don't cry later.. this is extremely complex thing n needs to be done under guidance, but ppl just freely talking about chakras, meditation etc knowing nothing about it.. n if u go crazy, run n ask this guy only how to be normal again.. SPIRITUAL PATH NEEDS A GURU's GUIDANCE..
@@azadestroyer u will lose ur mind n nobody can treat that mental illness.. its not a play, it used to a big thing in ancient religions like Hinduism buddhism etc, nowadays its a very dangerous fad.. n ppl think its so easy with no repercussions.. can u go to that same person who told u about a drop of an ocean, to treat u if anything goes wrong?

Should focus be on 2 things parallely I.e on breath and between eyebrows ?

both - you will feel your breathe moving there anyways with very little practice.

Geniussss
so isha kriya basically
Can someone explain what he means by 0:50 "Bring your awareness [...] to a point just an inch inside your forehead"?
he means thinking about it and feeling it, bringing all of your senses to it, feeling it basically, just try and think about it and be aware that it exist
TL;DR - do mindfulness meditation for 13 mins per day for improved focus AND concentration.
Life itself is an addictive sensory experience.So practice transcendental meditation.Beyond the senses.
How do I focus an inch inside my forehead?
Is this good effect even of us who has PTSD 4-th deegri?

No, absolutely not it is forbidden. If people are stupid enough to think this is the guy I should learn about meditation from or just about anything else they are complete idiots.
@empower thyself, will the alarm clocked disturb the meditation? Sometimes it like shocked one in deep meditation. Thanks
It should not, but deepends on how regularly one meditates.
Do this meditation to be a more effective corporate drone.
It is also important to not get upset when your mind drifts and just accept the drifting as a normal part of your meditation.
Exactly! Sadly, so many people get frustrated because of this and give up on meditation. I love Andrew's driving analogy in regards to this.
This gets harder every time.
I'm now at day 3 and I can't even focus on the point anymore.
Like it has taken away all my energy, and I fall asleep like in every other meditation. 😢
Same here. What helps me to stay awake and not doze off during it is to keep my eyes open and focus on any random object in the room.
@@chintanwadhwa good idea thank you. I had already switched back to normal silence-meditation.
Might help to pinch your forehead before starting the practice.

And if you picture Mr. Bean on the Narc part… nope. I instead use to terrify people because it’s basically like I pass out. So, they thought I was having some medical emergency and then no one at that time suspected Narcolepsy so they said, “Nothing wrong.”
Okay that made me a FAKE TO EVERYONE! Except it kept happening and got worse. Then I go from fake to people terrifying me thinking I had a brain tumor. But a teacher noticed something that others finally started noticing. I lived most the time with my ears covered, especially at stupid pep rallies or assemblies where things were loud. It was/still is like ICE PICKS being jabbed into my melon and the. I would “check out”.
So medical and neurological exams happened and Sensory Processing Disorder was instantly added to the growing list because I had PAINFUL HEARING (Hyperacusis) which wasn’t causing Narcolepsy just becoming that straw where I couldn’t fight to stay awake anymore. I can get more worn down with sound blasts than working out really hard.
So I was shown how to meditate and box breathe to try and not fall asleep every time. Without meds it’s simply impossible
And even with Adderall or Modafinil I can still do to sleep any time I want (at least I have the option and it lets me have 6-8 hours of mostly normal life today.
The newest med WAKIX is the perfect example of why our nation is falling apart and people are losing faith in ihe lies it’s built on.
That med for 60 pills (one month) retails W/o insurance at around 7,000.00 a month AND MOST INSURANCE SAY NO.
So I went back to Munkin out with a whole different approach…
Now I do emptiness or nothingness meditation (basically what Andrew discusses here) to NOTICE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHECK OUT… I cant do this alone BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHEN I DO!
People think Narcoleptic folks are simply sleeping that’s total bs for me.
I’m instantly off somewhere involved in life in some other parallel or realm and TIME THERE & time here have ZERO in common. Ten-thirty minutes here can be hours days “on the other side.”
So I come back often sleep paralyzed and confused If I wake up still “on the other side.”
Remember TO ME IM NEVER ALSEEP DURING THIS (usually) sometimes yes, I check out, nothing happens. I wake up and fight sleep demons the resort the day which is what I have been doing ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND ALL NIGHT…
Which is why people with Narcolepsy often LIVE TOTALLY EXHAUSTED… TO US WE HARDLY EVER SLEEP, yet to the normal folks all we do is sleep.
So if you know anyone with Narcolepsy cut them some slack please.
Most of us are known to be very intelligent but can’t live much of a normal life and often show up as the dumbest person in the room.
Why? We spend most of our LIFE FIGHTING TO STAY AWAKE and then FALL AWAKE while everyone thinks we sleep. OR IT GETS ALL WONKY and we can’t do nothing but cycle in and out of this living hell that takes so far past exhumation that (myself) will finally truly fall asleep for 12-18 hours because if I don’t my body will actually start shutting down and things get all messy from there.
I Munk out to try and help regulate the severity (because it’s gonna happen regardless) AND IT HELPS PROBABLY ABOUT AS MUCH AS MY MEDS but in a totally different and fulfilling way.
I lost interest because of the hoards of fake people and the masses of pure bull shit Thayer were claiming BUT I got past that and all the religious niches people try and suck others into and simply FOCUSED ON THE CRAFT. SUDDENLY, things got much better, and these weird cycles don’t last as long.

Altered Traits?

Vipassana meditation?
Where is the 13 mins meditation?
Want to focus on two simcard one is not wo8another whatna game
By calling sanskrit words (dhyan sadhna ) as meditation, people have killed the (soul & energy) of it.Sanskrit words are nottranslable.Use it as it.😊
As soon as the timing was set at a finite number, I got stressed.
if somebody loses their mind or went crazy, don't cry later.. this is extremely complex thing n needs to be done under guidance, but ppl just freely talking about chakras, meditation etc knowing nothing about it.. n if u go crazy, run n ask this guy only how to be normal again.. SPIRITUAL PATH NEEDS A GURU's GUIDANCE..
What do you mean"lose their mind"?
@@azadestroyer kundalini activation without supervision..
@@kintsugi2262 yep, what's wrong with that?
@@azadestroyer u will lose ur mind n nobody can treat that mental illness.. its not a play, it used to a big thing in ancient religions like Hinduism buddhism etc, nowadays its a very dangerous fad.. n ppl think its so easy with no repercussions.. can u go to that same person who told u about a drop of an ocean, to treat u if anything goes wrong?
@@azadestroyer let's say u want to drive a car, truck or fly a plane, can u without first learning a to z about it? u r going to harm urself only..
Je crois qu'Osho ( Rajneesh) confirmerait ce que vous avez bien exposé dans votre présentation.
Who cares what Osho would think ..

Great video- Andrew is the reference you meant to the book Altered Traits Dan Goleman and Richie Davidson or Altered States as you mentioned? That is a horror story made into a movie.
Our brain is just collecting information and processing them.
input is junk,output is also junk.😂😂😂😂
😂😂see if you can work on the energy that is using your physical brain ,
The frontal lobe is the seat of the CROWN CHAKRA ..the ALL KNOWING MIND OF GOD, visualize it as a white ball of fire. Then move to the upper middle of the brain whr the pineal g is. The ALL SEEING EYE OF GOD. INTEND to connect those 2 with a white laser beam ...when connected ,you will have the ARC OF THE COVENANT. You'll literally become the million dollar man😅😅😅😅😅

so you want attention to be both on breathing AND 1 inch behind forehead at once , you are spliting your attention.
All these things trace their origin to sanatan dharma. Namo shivay 🔱
