Thank you, I don't know what I would do without meditation at this point in my life. I wish it was taught to me at a younger age in fact I think it should be on regular early education curriculums.
Thank you for the great video! I can't wait to read your new book! I enjoyed your other book Buddhist Cleanse. I thank you for all your videos also. My life is so much better now because of your teachings 🙂❤
Great! Thank you Ven. Nick! How to explain meditation? After 42 years of NOT showering my mind, I couldn't imagine how dirty my "glas of water" got: just chaos in my head. 7 weeks ago I started meditation after discovering this channel and just two days after starting (2x 30' a day) I didn't know what is going on: my mind gets calm and bright and so peaceful and I can clearly see, what went wrong and where to go now to develop good within myself. It is amazing. But how to explain it may fellow men? AND HERE YOU ARE! Many, many Thanks! I love the way you share wisdom! Trying to get a copy of your book. Many greetings from Germany.
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial i had some hard days, only listening to you helped me, thank you for your videos🤗 I listen lots of stuff but your hamble voice makes a huge difference, specially in the crazy busy city .. i am not happy at all with my life, my everything around.. i suffocate in city.. i am in huge need of quietness, peace, fresh air, nature....
This is the absolute best explanation of what meditation really is! The visual with the water helped me to understand the purpose of meditation in great detail. I believe this will be life changing for me! I am excited to read the books as well. Thank you so much for this and all of your teachings. I just found your channel today and I have already learned how to look at life through a different (positive) lens.
WOW. Awesome teachings. Anger, greed and delusion boils, color dye and mud dirtys the mind, the cup of water , meditation showers the mind. Thank you Nick. Beautiful teaching.
Such an excellent way to understand the benefits of meditation. Thank you Ven. Nick. It is time for me to get serious about the meditation time in my life not be "flitty" with it. One day on; one day off....being distracted, etc. The analogy of the glass of water really helps visualize. I very much appreciate this video 🙏🏻
06:02 I'm aiming for no less than the highest possible state of consciousness. Have I come to the right place, master? 14:35 Hm.. I always thought we are processing the troubles of our days when we sleep. Could _dreaming_ be a kind of _showering the mind_ ? But 'sleeping' doesn't equal meditation. Right? *An exceptionally clear voice, and a good introduction for the topic* - thumbs up.
CONGRATULATIONS!! 🙂 Can’t wait to get it! Meditation is EXTREMELY important especially in this day and age. I love meditating. I go to group meditation and spend time alone doing it to. During the day I practice presence…aka no thought. Clarity is priceless. Thank you for all you do! ❤️ from Phoenix, Az
I just want to thank you!!!! Nick. I feel peace just listening to you!! I hope one day I can go there at least for 1 week 🙂 if you read my message. You’re doing very well ✨ also, I’m happy that you found your purpose 💚 thank you for being my friend.
I've got the book - haven't read it yet, but I like what I just heard. thank you so much for all you do. mental health is a HUGE issue in this world and you are helping people to recognize and alleviate it through meditation. I feel like I am always meditating in my mind throughout the day. Namaste.
and, actually, you are helping do this through pretty much everything you teach. you have made a significant difference for me as I have listened and followed your ways.
This is brilliant. One of the best answers I've seen the question of "What is Meditation?". I have some thoughts on a few words at the end though, at about 18:30 he says that meditation is a tool to "clean and purify the mind". I don't like the implications of that phrase. I'd argue that the stuff floating in the water isn't really "dirt" and we don't need "clean" or "purify" anything. The stuff in the water is just the flotsam and jetsam of life, some of it is positive and some of it is negative but it all obscures our vision. I'd rephrase it something like meditation is tool to "calm and clear the mind", which dovetails with water analogy. Meditation doesn't magically remove the "junk" that builds up in our minds, it lets it settle and separate so that we can see it more clearly and so that we can see other things more clearly. Details aside, still an awesome video.
Thank you 🙏. Just ordered book and journal from UK Amazon . My mind gets so distracted and I always end up giving up my practice. Your explanation of cleaning the mind is very useful. Our brain actually cleans itself too at night whilst we are in the deepest cycle of sleep with cerebrospinal fluid ( normally early hours of the morning) which is why deep sleep is so important . Meditation really helps me get good sleep so I commit to keep at it this time. Thank you for your kindness 🙏
Thank you so much for that one. Your words and examples are so clear, i'll share it right away. One thing really hard for me is that after practising meditation for years, experiencing the benefits from it so much I then tried to share it with people who just wouldn't be able to anderstand the importance of it. I'm sure that people like you must encounter situations where you see clearly the roots of the pain in somebody else situation, you have an idea of what could help to fix it but then the other one is unable to hear. It is so frustrating.
Beautiful explanation of meditation. As I have already shared, I have read the Dhammapada many times, so listening to you, immediately, a verse from it came to mind: "Cease to do evil, learn to do good, (the verse for emphasis), and purify your mind." I have read that many times, but when you defined meditation and gave those examples with the glass of water, that verse now has an even deeper meaning. Keep up the great work. Blessings to you and your family.
Congratulations! I'm so excited! I bought your book yesterday and I'm having such a wonderfull time reading it, Im a beginner in meditation and I like to draw, so this book is showing up to be my cup of tea!, the illustrations are being sooooo appreciated! as they're beautiful, cute and sometimes even funny, they keep reminding me that I have be kind and patient to myself as I am indeed someone how is still learning, and they are a perfect tool to visualize and understand better what you're explaining. such a kind way of learning 🥰 Thankyou to you, your masters and teachers as well everyone who participated in the construction of this book, I'm grateful with everyone for sharing their knowledge and gifts with us!❤
THank you so much for this video! It is very helpful. I enjoyed learning about meditation with the metaphors that you used. Especially the one about the cup of water. Throughout my day I can see myself tainting my cup of water with my thoughts and actions. Taking time to be present in the moment and see your life from an outside perspective is so important.
This is another very beneficial video from you, Ven. Nick. It further helps to understand the importance of meditation practice. I wish that more people would be reached by your channel.
I feel bad saying that I listen to your talk to fall asleep sometimes. But I think that your talks are very calming and soothing and when my mind is racing n so full of worries, I like to listen to it and so my insomnia goes away. 🙏🏻
This was such a good explanation of meditation. As someone who struggles with anxiety, meditation has been incredibly helpful in clearing my mind and improving my mental health. Then I started to learn about its Buddhist roots and listened to people like Thich Naht Hahh. It has such a long rich history in Buddhism and it's been a joy to learn. I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of your book!
This is such a wonderful explanation and makes it all easier to understand and make sense of. I always worry and put stress on myself that I won’t be able to sit and clear my mind effectively because my mind is constantly thinking and overthinking, but for the last few months I’ve been accepting situations and letting go. So now I need to discipline my meditation each day to make that glass of water clearer . I’m finding that your morning/night routines help so much and my daily life is becoming more joyful. Like you say the byproducts of the teachings really are positive … many thanks and blessings to you all there 🙏🏻
Thank you Nick. Great talk. Looking forward to all that’s ahead. Love your enthusiasm and compassion for all of us. At this time with world conditions as they are, we need your calming voice and Buddhist wisdom. Much love. 🙏🇨🇦
Thank you for your enlightenment. Hearing the birds and other creature of nature are so soothing. Congratulations on your new book. Since I have a very long drive to & from work I will get the audible book. Believe it or not my calm time is when I drive ( I drive at night because I work at night) Stay well, safe
Just bought the new book. If everything run smoothly l receive it the day before my departure to Thailand. That book finally might help me. Cheers from Switzerland.
"Showering the mind". Interesting because I downloaded your 30 minutes meditation with insects chirping in the background, and used it when I meditate. Your opening speech includes 'shower the mind'. I also saw your video on giving, and I kept a journal which puts the date of the meditation and a small donation to the local dog shelter. That was over a year ago. Thanks a lot for your help
Love your kindness, calm, sincere sharing. You are my good teacher for my meditation journey. Can't wait to read your book, The building blocks of meditation which I just ordered.
Hi Nick, I'm more than happy to support you and has just gotten my copy of your new book! Can't wait to read it and apply it :) Thank you for your wisdom 🙏

We speak of you often by discussing & using your gifts . Thank you for sharing your life's purpose. Bless us all who are on a journey of world peace.
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial I wish you could be here in person. I sure could use some support from one being who understands. Someone I don't have to " explain" to. I pray Gor you all!
Excellent video Ven. Nick, made so much sense and a great help to me and many others I am sure. So excited for you on the book release. Well done. I can't wait to read it. Cheers HelenD 🙏
Congrats for your book :) I somehow stopped doing meditation I was going through so much and i felt like running around too much In this process i stopped meditating Now it has become hard to get back to meditating
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial thank you for explaining what meditation is, I didn't know and I actually thought it was about cleansing the mind and spirit but I was partially wrong. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you venerable Nick, meditation has been fundamental for beeing a better person in my everyday life. Thank you for sharing the teqnique and the key point, that is showering the mind. For what is happening near our neighbor country I felt the need and began to chant. Reviewing one older teaching of you and downloading the Chants. I love it. I don't understand a word, then I read the translation but it flows like water. Please pray too, you know venerable the wind comes from the north, blows cold and brings an energy that something very serious is happening. Beyond news and broadcasts and political positions... I was waiting at the bus station and that is what I sensed. Sadhu and thank you for sharing the wisdom For us to become better human beeings🌷
Many congrats on the new book. I've just ordered it. I'm just getting somewhere with my meditation practice, after a few tricky years, so I'm always happy to receive more advice and guidance. Looking forward to this and my thanks to Ven Michael as well. BTW, I don't thiink there's a young boy on earth who enjoys showering better than cartoons. :) Take care, J
Thank you so much for this clear and easy to understand explanation of meditation. This is very helpful for me as someone who has recently decided to develop a daily meditation practice.
