I’m saving this video because I really have the hardest time meditating. Thank you for what you do Alex. I’m sure you’re helping more people than you’ll ever know! :)
I believed there is no wrong way to meditate, and the way you meditate is what works for you only. As long as you make an effort to close your eyes, meditate and do it consistently, over time, you will feel peaceful and noticed the change about yourself. Sometimes, others noticed the change in you, the better you. I went from struggling to meditate for 5 minutes to up to over an hour daily. Some people say they meditate in the morning, so that they can be in better mood to start their day. I meditate right before going to bed, because I believed it helps me fall asleep better.
31:44, “There is a purification requirement of the body…” I’m so glad he acknowledged that, because I’ve gotta tell y’all, in my experience, qigong is the way to go to break up any stagnant or trapped energy and get it balanced. It’s helped so much with my shoulders and neck tightness after sitting at a computer for hours on end every day, but it also balances my thoughts and emotions as well and gets me back to a much calmer, peaceful state. 🥰
I've done group 8 hour meditations (a few times) at Ananda in northern CA. Absolutely loved it. Now, I meditate 1/2 hour twice a day faithfully. I can't fall asleep at night until I've meditated.
That sounds super cool! Id be interested; it’s a struggle to meditate for long, except when I am receiving reiki, in a salt cave, or listening to solder goo frequency music.
I am forever grateful to have found meditation 3 yrs ago. I’m still at 15 min when I get up but it has definitely changed my life n led me to your channel , which I love all your podcasts. I always learn something new. I love being happy!!!
Meditation is the way I start my mornings. It has transformed my life completely. It sets the tone for a beautiful, peaceful day for me.🙏🌞 Thank you Alex and thank you Tom.
Yes meditation works, it took me years to master my technique, In this lifetime I been challenge with the energy of extreme anxiety and panic attacks, ever since I started to listen and meditate to sound bowl mediations, I been able to start curing myself, everyday is less and less. Now I’m able to move the energy of each of my harmed chakras, it’s a strange feeling, because they do spin around and sometimes I feel them palpitating, and at the same time they start to get very very warm, and it leaves you with a very heavenly feeling, of overwhelming peace and happiness like nothing else I. The world, well in my case it felt like my experience when I was 5 seconds in heaven. I do it on the morning now and night. It’s also possible to move your chakras energy with the suns energy. It takes me one but you can do it. I close my eyes and when I’m hearing the sound bowls or I am on the sun, I do circular motions with my head and put all my focus on my heart chakra for example and it moves guys
I agree. I love sound healing. There's so many things to explore. It's amazing to me how doctors push pharmaceuticals rather than so many other options first to try before FDA approved drugs.
Thank you for your explanation. 🙏 I'm new to meditation and have struggled with anxiety and panic attacks most of my life. I feel inspired to continue meditating. My anxiety has increased right now and I hope it will lessen.
I would also add to it: you can work with your guardian angel/s and ancestors. Just ask them whatever you need. I've asked so many things and there was always someone on the other side helping me move the energies or even pulling heavy energies out of my body. Whenever i try not to forget or dont know what to ask for, i simply ask for light for all my cells inside the body. Try it :)
My easy technique to “quiet” the mind is to think of a relaxing song I like, i repetitively think of certain lyrics or the hook of the song.. inhale for 5 sec, hold for 5 sec, exhale for 5 sec do it about 5x
I met Tom when I was living in Sydney and attended his meditation sessions in 2014 🙏🏻 Very happy to see him in your show 🤩 I remember seeing him and thinking 💭 how good looking he is and he meditates, perfection 😁😊
Great interview! Very encouraging for newbie meditators to not give up. I personally went through a period where I thought nothing was going to happen in my meditations, but sticking with it proved me wrong. I hate to miss a day now!
@pialind7643 I do mainly walking meditations, which are also an ancient practice, so I can say a little about what can happen. I might go out alone for the late afternoon/sunset walk in nature, trees are my preferred company when I do this. If its a quiet spot(no people around), my feet get into a rhythm on the rough and twisting earth foot track. I'm walking briskly and allowing my mind to empty, which then allows forest sounds to come in. Wind in the branches, birds, etc. At some point, my body seems to take over the automatic part of stepping each step, I start feeling slightly outside of my body but observing it calmly. Breathing gradually deepens after about 20 mins, and I can start to taste the pure air coming into my lungs like a cool stream of liquid silver...is the only way I can describe it! It's very delicate state, and only lasts a few minutes say five or ten. It's indescribably peaceful, exhilarating. The feeling gradually fades but leaves me feeling much better on the walk back to my car. Doing this practice now for five decades, since I discovered it by accident as a child.
Next Level Soul Podcast keeps forcing me to stretch further and further, and like the infinity symbol, I keep coming back to my Self. We are all so unique and yet so necessary to the WHOLE.
I have no doubt that mantras work; but I happened to find binaural beats first, not online, through a group I joined two years ago. With those beats, I have reached higher levels of consciousness in the theta waves state. I'm still a beginner, which is why I hoped to learn from this expert guest. "Not from lack, but from overflow." ! I hope I will suceed because as a former elementary and Special Ed. teacher, I recognize the concept of overflowing with creativity to inspire children and the joy of sharing it with them.
@sheRaRa101 I usually don't listen only to music. It does allow thoughts and distractions. That's why I like binaural bests --they actually have an effect on the brain that helps consciousness to expand. But some thoughts are not detrimental. They can be imaginary or creative or loving.
Thanks guys, I need a push to rekindle my meditation practice, got so lazy. Also I’m listening to several areas in this talk that resonate with past experiences I had and never could figure out what and why things happened. You have given me room for thought to ponder over. Very enlightening, blessings to all dear friends 🥰💚☘️🙏
He did briefly talk about mantra and transcendental meditation. But the problem with transcendental meditation is that you have to find teacher who will give you 'your' mantra. However, there is lots of information on mantra meditation and all sorts of mantras on the internet. That might not be what the title was referring to, but might be worth looking into.
I have a difficult time meditating in the traditional way. So I am still a work in progress, however I’ve learned how to meditate while I’m cleaning house or working on my art projects. It helps me get outside myself.
Alex, the information you are bringing to the world at this time is timely and very much needed. You will be quoted and spoken about kindly in the new future. There, that's my prediction! 😊
Hey, Tom. I am a fellow Aussie, recently retired from primary teaching. As a holistic educator, I can attest to the effect of meditation in the classroom. With our curriculum full beyond reason, many teachers are flat out teaching this curriculum and perceive that they don’t have time to afford their class (and themselves) a precious few moments in meditation. We cannot afford not to give our children time for them to go within through meditation. I’ve never seen such a stressed generation of learners. How do we change mindsets of our Education departments, teachers and parents????
Now that you're retired, maybe you could facilitate a "time out for educators" weekend, where some meditation options could be explored. I'm a lifelong walking in nature meditator, I discovered this works really well for me. I use little conservation parks on the edges of town .But it works only when I do it alone, this makes it possible for mind to fully empty and peace,/calm to suffuse body and soul. I find it very restorative, allows a space for joy to enter.
I took a meditation class in Jr. College and where I really found it useful was before tests. Before a test ones mind starts to get overactive with all kinds of ideas, images, and fears about how one might do. So about 15 minutes before a test I would find an empty class room and meditated for 10 minutes or so and end it with positive statements about how well I was going to do on the test. And so with a quiet mind, at ease, I would always do well.
@ Alex Ferari Have you ever interviewed Dr. Joe Dispenza? He actually monitors what happens to people's bodies and brain during meditation to scientifically show what is happening during meditation. I would love to see you interview him!😊
Meditation, for me, changed my entire CNS. External circumstances threw stones into my calm lake surface. Haven't been back since. True internal peace. I miss it very much.
Well I have done drugs to self medicate, and my sleep deprivation would put me in state of being, I at the time did not know about Kundalini Awakening, and boy did I experience the time of spirituality I got to see my Spirit guides and name them, it wasn't part of my life when I was 40 I will never forget. I am a spiritual Hungarian gypsy, and I'm still learning, for knowledge is powerful thank you so Alex and guest for these podcast, love and light to all. ALWAS smile 😊.
Interesting !!. I am calmer, not holding on to past, to anger , to resentment, to worry about future. I am fully aware we are all connected. I have love and compassion for all living creatures, plants and humans but I have never done meditation !!! It has been difficult quieting my mind !!
ALEX, I'm a fan of your channel and have listened to many. This was one of my favorites. There was such resonance in Tom and with you that it was a joy to experience this conversation. Thank you for all you do.
This is is true, I used to love taking extacy. When I had my first mystical experience during meditation (no drugs) I had an energy release that lasted 30-45 minutes and felt exactly like ecstasy 😊
What I would like to hear from any one of these meditation masters is the step by step process with explanations of the bumps that they encountered and how they overcame them. Knowing that everyone is different, I would like to know approximately how long it takes to get to the point where you are actually meditating and not being inundated by thoughts. I'm looking for a little guidance in terms of what I can expect.
Alex, thank you for your service to this community of souls who are interested in finding the best path of life and healing for ourselves and those around us. May you continue to be blessed! 💗🎁🌞
Good analogy, shaking the Echa- sketch, removing everything we know and starting again? Or maybe not, a big end to what we perceive to be normality. Something is happening and we can all feel it!
Thank you for the explanation of the meditation. It is good to know that meditation helps us to love others and gives us everlasting bliss for us that does not wear out like material pleasure.
Hello Alex! I've been enjoying so much of your content lately. I figured the least I could do was say thanks! Also, it seems to me you are indeed walking the walk. Your contentment and serenity really comes through. One last thing: this conversation did absolutely have practical advice for quieting the monkey mind. Much love.
For Gene Keys / Human Design studying: the moon is currently in transit conjunct my gate Jupiter 58.1 and this expression at 25:44 is exactly what gate 58.1 is about: inner bliss.
Thank you Alex and Tom. I will be sure to watch this film. Meditation has helped me so much. I have a long way to go but i am enjoying the journey. Blessed Be from Canada.
This explanation and conversation has been the most helpful I have experienced in all my prayer/mediation books and practices to date. I can understand the practice of centering prayer now as a deeper meditation practice of changes in vibration and releasing of what has been in order to accept the deeper rest of being fully present within myself.
While I loved the talk, I feel the title was quite click-baity as we didn't learn any technique, we learned the purpose of meditation and its benefits. Keep up the good work, just wish that RUclipsrs who have such a wide audience didn't need to resort to clickbaity titles.
I’m all about this channel, but this episode is totally misnamed. A lot of thoughtful convo on meditation-yes, details about technique-basically none. Time to watch is precious, so accurate labels would be/are important and appreciated. TY. ❤
Everything we get from anything is totally subject to what we are looking for. I found this title to be perfect. It didn'tclaim to offer techniques. Sorry you weren't prepared to receive this content.
No need for sorries, as I did not state that I didn't get anything from the interview. I said it was mis-named, and did not contain what was stated. @@Christinelifgren
Tom. I'm so glad you have been so honest and you are smart. i totally did my e-trips etc and also had death fantasies etc. because u have been so open I can totally relate to you and want to be like you. blessed be
👏 Fantastic conversation. Very inspirational to those who haven’t yet considered meditating and to those who have, not to give up if they haven’t been able to reach that bliss state yet! (Especially for those who can relate to said bliss states having got there through recreational drug use). Love Tom’s accessible approach that’s backed with some very interesting facts. Would love to hear more from him in the future 🙏🏻 🧘♀️
3, 2, 1, 0 meditation Close your eyes Sit spine erect Breathe rhythmically deep and consciously Observe all of existence 3 = 3 too many thoughts 2 = mind and spirit thoughts 1 = spirit thought 0 = no thought, union with the ALL
For me the answer of the question, what is the purpose of life, is this. To forever grow in complexity and mastery of our creative ability. Every thing from the rock, to the plant, to the animal, has the creative ability or consciousness. But as you climb the ladder from mineral to animal, you see that consciousness and the creative ability increases in its complexity. Awareness of what we are, can lead to an accelerated growth of complexity, only if we accept it and choose to act upon that awareness. Ignorance or the state of ignoring is a choice. I am not certain that simple awareness is guaranteed to lead one to growth. I think some people can have an awakening moment to awareness and ignore or reject it because they are not yet ready to advance and accept that level of responsibility. But they can still continue to grow in tiny increments as they are moving out of spiritual childhood and towards maturity. At least that has been my observation.
Love this conversation. So much knowledge shared 🙏 Tom Cronin has an awesome way of delivering his knowledge and has an excellent teaching style. Thank You for bringing him to us Alex 💜
I have been able to do 2 hours and in that time I was able to separate my body above myself. In that state all the pain in my body was gone, I didn't want to leave.
He so clearly has all the right ideas and information to truly help those seeking... these practices will do wonders for your meditation and spiritual practices... thanks you
Dear Tom and Alex I’m your regular listener. I have been meditating for almost 4 years. I had some ultimate bliss feelings 3 times in my whole lifetime. Now the most challenging thing for me when I meditate and start shifting from 3D to 4D, somehow something scares me and it gives me goosebumps. I don’t know what it is but I can’t shift my energy anymore. Help me please 🙏……
Of course it's scary... you don't want to go to the 4th, beautiful one, you want to go to the 5th floor, straight (or higher). The 4th one is the one you go to every night, where you dream, and also the place where the "ghosts" are, let's say, among other kind of entities... In any case, alwayd ask for protection, guidance and assistance before every meditation, and manifest your will to allow your higher self to take full command of the current human experience (now)... and just breathe and be receptive. It's going to be delicious and fun! Like a bath of light 😊
It’s interesting how some subjective perspectives think this time of Kali Yuga is somehow not normal according to their assumptions of how things should be, when in fact source consciousness has willed it to be the natural state right now
The choices ahead are even more difficult because we’ve spent the last 400 years building up the material world and it will be hard for many to turn away from the monetary driven world we all serve.
First time i meditated and hit the bliss state, i was totally blown away by the emotional happiness that overflowed ..im chasing that feeling, but i still dont know exactly how to reach bliss state consistantly and hold that feeling. Any experts please chime in
Great video on the benefits of meditation, what it can do for you and where it can take you. The title mentioned technics. I didn't seem to find the " how to's." I was a little disappointed. I've been searching for a long time.
I'm going to have to relisten to this as i think i missed the ancient technique.... unless it's meditate often. I want to go deeper faster to meditate easier.
?????How does one meditate???? Is there a how to video similar to an exercise video? It sounds like a magical state but I find it hard to come across how to, does one sit in a chair with back supported , on the floor, lay down on the bed, chant mantras, do a special breathing technique, listen to music or have it quiet. It’s incredible that so many people talk about how beneficial meditation is yet I don’t ever see any actual information on how to do it, so how did all these people learn???
Thank you both, this is helping me on this new moon to get back on the meditation bandwagon, here's to finding the oil this time and sticking with it!!
The tecnique promised was not included???? was it edited out? Please add in! many below asking too~ blessings and gratitude, love hearing Tom on with you!
17:36 yes, one of the classic psychoanalysts (I forget which one) said this decades ago: youth who are drawn to drug use as a way to deal with life are, without realising it, actually seeking a reconnection with the divine.
Not only is it sustainable it's addicting and like Alex if I don't get at least 2 hours I'm not happy😂 sometimes it's guided sometimes it's peace and quiet but it's always at the top of my priorities daily🎉 it's fun because sometimes things kick in while my monkey brain is still bouncing around I realize there's a really cool movie going on in my visual😮
The mind is a huge potent 2 create whatever dream or flow u like. Even more Awake or Aware or Conscious One is...even more higher and clear and beautyful it will dream...at least that is so far my insights and even 2 relax from the dream states...realms= perfectly fine...we call it muse or lila pause or a artistic time off. Thx 4 the beautyful sharing ur minds. Aum
I was a heroin addict for 20 years psychedelics helped me break away from that, but breathwork and meditation has forever changed me for the best
❤ Great to hear … well done you 🎉
Fantastic!
Wonderful!
So incredibly proud of you for taking that step , make no mistake YOU are an inspiration ✨️ ❤ 🙏 ✌️ .
What did you use?
to all who read this, and all who don't...sending you infinite peace, perfect health, abundant wealth, joyous freedom, and unconditional love...
🙏🏽💚💚💚💚💚🙌🏽
In many Asian countries they have meditation breaks in schools. It really should be done in all schools everywhere. Learn from an early stage.
I. Meditate 2-4 hours daily. The bliss and joy still elude me. Been doing this 7 months now.
I’m saving this video because I really have the hardest time meditating. Thank you for what you do Alex. I’m sure you’re helping more people than you’ll ever know! :)
I also will watch over, I have already rewind this twice ! 😊❤
Great, I don't feel alone. Thanks, Debbie Lavigne ❤😊
One easy entry point to an empty mind is to put yourself in a state of listening, because you can't think and listen at the same time.
@@sharonmassey2923Epic!!! That's why we turn down the radio when we are looking for our destination in our vehicles!!
Hard for me to do it too ❤
I enjoyed this conversation but I nvr heard How to meditate. When I try it, my eyes water and I can't stop yawning. Note: I'm not tired when I try.
Ah ha! 38:37 so it’s okay at first to kinda fall asleep when starting to meditate!!! Finally someone has said it.
Absolutely ! It's only for a few seconds, then the portal opens for me.
You can listen to Kelly Howell
Her meditation is most working when you sleep
I believed there is no wrong way to meditate, and the way you meditate is what works for you only. As long as you make an effort to close your eyes, meditate and do it consistently, over time, you will feel peaceful and noticed the change about yourself. Sometimes, others noticed the change in you, the better you. I went from struggling to meditate for 5 minutes to up to over an hour daily. Some people say they meditate in the morning, so that they can be in better mood to start their day. I meditate right before going to bed, because I believed it helps me fall asleep better.
31:44, “There is a purification requirement of the body…” I’m so glad he acknowledged that, because I’ve gotta tell y’all, in my experience, qigong is the way to go to break up any stagnant or trapped energy and get it balanced.

Yes! Qigong is fantastic.
Just wondering where you are getting your qigong instruction for. My intuition has been pulling me to this. Thanks for sharing.
Lee Holden, YoQi, and Bodhi Acupuncture are my top three favorites. They’re all on RUclips too. 🙂
@@adamjohnson339Spring Forest Qigong is lovely..

Wow, Alex. This was one of the best interviews you've conducted. Perhaps it's because I've been a meditator for nearly 50 yrs now.
I understand and appreciate what your guest is saying. Beautiful, but I don't hear the exact techniques as the title suggests. Thank you.
I'm glad it wasn't just me. I thought I must have drifted off during that bit, so I was looking through the comments for clues as to what it was.
Search for holographic breathing on RUclips. That should help you.

Good interview, but did I miss the "ancient technique"....??
@ Alex Ferari
Have you ever interviewed Dr. Joe Dispenza? He actually monitors what happens to people's bodies and brain during meditation to scientifically show what is happening during meditation. I would love to see you interview him!😊
Watch your breath.
Use mantra.
See how thoughts(when they slip through) effects breath.
Override them.
Mind over matter.

True internal peace. I miss it very much.

ALEX, I'm a fan of your channel and have listened to many. This was one of my favorites. There was such resonance in Tom and with you that it was a joy to experience this conversation. Thank you for all you do.
This is is true, I used to love taking extacy.
When I had my first mystical experience during meditation (no drugs) I had an energy release that lasted 30-45 minutes and felt exactly like ecstasy 😊
What I would like to hear from any one of these meditation masters is the step by step process with explanations of the bumps that they encountered and how they overcame them. Knowing that everyone is different, I would like to know approximately how long it takes to get to the point where you are actually meditating and not being inundated by thoughts. I'm looking for a little guidance in terms of what I can expect.
Exactly, I'm hearing a lot about the benefits, but I am over half way through the video and still waiting for the how to.
As you say everyone is different, so it's impossible to give an approximate answer.
Alex, thank you for your service to this community of souls who are interested in finding the best path of life and healing for ourselves and those around us. May you continue to be blessed! 💗🎁🌞
Good analogy, shaking the Echa- sketch, removing everything we know and starting again? Or maybe not, a big end to what we perceive to be normality. Something is happening and we can all feel it!
Thank you for the explanation of the meditation. It is good to know that meditation helps us to love others and gives us everlasting bliss for us that does not wear out like material pleasure.
Hello Alex! I've been enjoying so much of your content lately. I figured the least I could do was say thanks! Also, it seems to me you are indeed walking the walk. Your contentment and serenity really comes through. One last thing: this conversation did absolutely have practical advice for quieting the monkey mind. Much love.
For Gene Keys / Human Design studying: the moon is currently in transit conjunct my gate Jupiter 58.1 and this expression at 25:44 is exactly what gate 58.1 is about: inner bliss.
Thank you Alex and Tom. I will be sure to watch this film. Meditation has helped me so much. I have a long way to go but i am enjoying the journey. Blessed Be from Canada.
DIVINE GRATITUDE
I agree! We need to envision the New Earth. What do we want that to look like? This was amazing. Thank you and Namaste.
Again another great conversation to transcend. Thanks for the interview!
This explanation and conversation has been the most helpful I have experienced in all my prayer/mediation books and practices to date. I can understand the practice of centering prayer now as a deeper meditation practice of changes in vibration and releasing of what has been in order to accept the deeper rest of being fully present within myself.
While I loved the talk, I feel the title was quite click-baity as we didn't learn any technique, we learned the purpose of meditation and its benefits. Keep up the good work, just wish that RUclipsrs who have such a wide audience didn't need to resort to clickbaity titles.
I’m all about this channel, but this episode is totally misnamed. A lot of thoughtful convo on meditation-yes, details about technique-basically none.
Time to watch is precious, so accurate labels would be/are important and appreciated. TY. ❤
Everything we get from anything is totally subject to what we are looking for. I found this title to be perfect. It didn'tclaim to offer techniques. Sorry you weren't prepared to receive this content.
No need for sorries, as I did not state that I didn't get anything from the interview. I said it was mis-named, and did not contain what was stated. @@Christinelifgren
Such an excellent conversation! Thank you both so very much!
Just 12hrs put on yt and I saw it, just what i have been looking for to jnow. I am gonna watch it now. Thanks for this video🙏⚘️
Tom. I'm so glad you have been so honest and you are smart. i totally did my e-trips etc and also had death fantasies etc. because u have been so open I can totally relate to you and want to be like you. blessed be
My explanation of meditation is definitely the same as Alex explains. Awesome video ! Thank u
If you can't meditate watch this. This has an entire website with short and very simple meditations. Nanak Naam
👏 Fantastic conversation.
Very inspirational to those who haven’t yet considered meditating and to those who have, not to give up if they haven’t been able to reach that bliss state yet! (Especially for those who can relate to said bliss states having got there through recreational drug use). Love Tom’s accessible approach that’s backed with some very interesting facts. Would love to hear more from him in the future 🙏🏻 🧘♀️
Great interview! The science and information shared is fascinating. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the explanation of parasympathetic vs sympathetic states. Explains a lot.
I like what he's saying thankyou ❤
how about some actual meditation techniques please!!!?
yes, please!!!
@@janemckillip8020 what a tease and title is VERY misleading!
3, 2, 1, 0 meditation
Close your eyes
Sit spine erect
Breathe rhythmically deep and consciously
Observe all of existence
3 = 3 too many thoughts
2 = mind and spirit thoughts
1 = spirit thought
0 = no thought, union with the ALL
For me the answer of the question, what is the purpose of life, is this. To forever grow in complexity and mastery of our creative ability. Every thing from the rock, to the plant, to the animal, has the creative ability or consciousness. But as you climb the ladder from mineral to animal, you see that consciousness and the creative ability increases in its complexity. Awareness of what we are, can lead to an accelerated growth of complexity, only if we accept it and choose to act upon that awareness. Ignorance or the state of ignoring is a choice. I am not certain that simple awareness is guaranteed to lead one to growth. I think some people can have an awakening moment to awareness and ignore or reject it because they are not yet ready to advance and accept that level of responsibility. But they can still continue to grow in tiny increments as they are moving out of spiritual childhood and towards maturity. At least that has been my observation.
Love this conversation. So much knowledge shared 🙏 Tom Cronin has an awesome way of delivering his knowledge and has an excellent teaching style. Thank You for bringing him to us Alex 💜
I have been able to do 2 hours and in that time I was able to separate my body above myself. In that state all the pain in my body was gone, I didn't want to leave.
I can meditate when I do guided meditations but I really want to learn transcendental meditation
He so clearly has all the right ideas and information to truly help those seeking... these practices will do wonders for your meditation and spiritual practices... thanks you
Wonderful, thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Dear Tom and Alex I’m your regular listener. I have been meditating for almost 4 years. I had some ultimate bliss feelings 3 times in my whole lifetime. Now the most challenging thing for me when I meditate and start shifting from 3D to 4D, somehow something scares me and it gives me goosebumps. I don’t know what it is but I can’t shift my energy anymore. Help me please 🙏……
Of course it's scary... you don't want to go to the 4th, beautiful one, you want to go to the 5th floor, straight (or higher). The 4th one is the one you go to every night, where you dream, and also the place where the "ghosts" are, let's say, among other kind of entities...
In any case, alwayd ask for protection, guidance and assistance before every meditation, and manifest your will to allow your higher self to take full command of the current human experience (now)... and just breathe and be receptive. It's going to be delicious and fun! Like a bath of light 😊
@@eshamerita5970 Thanks beautiful soul ❤️
The Meninger Institute has studied these things, as well as things like prayer, healers when they are healing, etc.
10:57 don’t worry, I have this feeling that in the coming 20 years we will have more visionaries 🎉
16:37 Agree! A lot of the beliefs are programmed, but they can change! We can choose to reprogram those beliefs.
22:02 A charming device to lure the mind 😊
Of course we will! Everyone is understanding the fact that the truth is within 😊
So grateful! Thank you!❤
What's the technique?
(I don't have time to listen for an hour)
Wow! I love my meditation time ...2 to 3 hours...I don't want to came out😂😂😂. I feel what you feel Alex!
Thank you do much for this!
Thank you
It’s interesting how some subjective perspectives think this time of Kali Yuga is somehow not normal according to their assumptions of how things should be, when in fact source consciousness has willed it to be the natural state right now
Familiar information to me but expressed with such clarity thank you both from another Aussie! 🙏🙂
The choices ahead are even more difficult because we’ve spent the last 400 years building up the material world and it will be hard for many to turn away from the monetary driven world we all serve.
First time i meditated and hit the bliss state, i was totally blown away by the emotional happiness that overflowed ..im chasing that feeling, but i still dont know exactly how to reach bliss state consistantly and hold that feeling. Any experts please chime in
Practice without the chasing... It will come again 💛💫🌟
Great video on the benefits of meditation, what it can do for you and where it can take you. The title mentioned technics. I didn't seem to find the " how to's." I was a little disappointed. I've been searching for a long time.
I'm going to have to relisten to this as i think i missed the ancient technique.... unless it's meditate often. I want to go deeper faster to meditate easier.
?????How does one meditate???? Is there a how to video similar to an exercise video? It sounds like a magical state but I find it hard to come across how to, does one sit in a chair with back supported , on the floor, lay down on the bed, chant mantras, do a special breathing technique, listen to music or have it quiet. It’s incredible that so many people talk about how beneficial meditation is yet I don’t ever see any actual information on how to do it, so how did all these people learn???
Exactly. Me too!
Thank you both, this is helping me on this new moon to get back on the meditation bandwagon, here's to finding the oil this time and sticking with it!!
Breath loved ones!
Thank you Alex snd Tom for this conversation 🙌🏻🫶🏻💕starting to meditate more and more 💕 breathwork 🌬is my new way of checking in 👉🏻💃🏼
Thank you ❤
I love it. You go into the meditation and you can move through the future...WOW.. so how come those "Masters" have to write books to make living?
The tecnique promised was not included???? was it edited out? Please add in! many below asking too~ blessings and gratitude, love hearing Tom on with you!
17:36 yes, one of the classic psychoanalysts (I forget which one) said this decades ago: youth who are drawn to drug use as a way to deal with life are, without realising it, actually seeking a reconnection with the divine.
Not only is it sustainable it's addicting and like Alex if I don't get at least 2 hours I'm not happy😂 sometimes it's guided sometimes it's peace and quiet but it's always at the top of my priorities daily🎉 it's fun because sometimes things kick in while my monkey brain is still bouncing around I realize there's a really cool movie going on in my visual😮
Its all coming back :)
Awesome podcast, really enjoyed it. Resonated with me so very much. Thankyou!😊🙏🧡💫
What an awesome video! We need more like this.
Thank you ❤I really needed help with meditation 🧘♀️
meditation is a science. wow. nicely put and so true. think yr next book should have that heading. blessed be
Great content as always!
Thank You ✨💜✨
The mind is a huge potent 2 create whatever dream or flow u like. Even more Awake or Aware or Conscious One is...even more higher and clear and beautyful it will dream...at least that is so far my insights and even 2 relax from the dream states...realms= perfectly fine...we call it muse or lila pause or a artistic time off.
Thx 4 the beautyful sharing ur minds.
Aum
