I don't need a place ON the ark Russel, because I'll attach myself to the hull like a crustacean fungus and learn to breathe underwater We leeches of society will not be left behind😉 I can adapt in any environment to survive... like a cockroach
The fact that we're all taking life advice from Russell Brand will never fail to make me laugh. Never has someone explained a meditation technique to me with an analogy about smoking crack. I have found my people ❤😂
Me too, I still smoke cigarettes like al chimney, but they're organic!? Haha... I loved coke n acid n x etc.... been mostly sober 10 yrs but I'm a methadone user due to pain pills.... ugh, opioides.... thats been my Achilles heal. But so happy I don't buy street drugs anymore. The mentality of being " a user, boozer, and a loser" Strangers w/ 🍬.... still is stuck in my head.... n image/p.r. probs.... but, gives me street cred!? Yay!!! Hahaha
I love the way how whimsical he talks about his past drug use and sees it as a component as growth, rather than a stain on his soul. Thank you for making me smile mr Brand, stay blessed 🙏🏾💜
Did a bit of research regarding the chanting and found these meanings, for those wondering: Ong namo guru dev namo (Sanskrit: ॐ नमो गुरु देव् नमो) is an important mantra used often in Kundalini yoga. This mantra means “I bow, or salutations to the divine teacher.” It can also be viewed as meaning, " bow to the teacher within." It is also sometimes called the Adi mantra. Sat Nam essentially translates into something deeper: “I am truth,” or “Truth is my essence.” Sat Nam is known as a bija (seed) mantra-a one-syllable sound that activates the chakras.
@Darren you're using Jesus to cover up the fact that you're deeply negative and resentful, your negativity brings you closer to Satan than it does Christ
@Darren The really amusing thing is that you know Russell would agree with you on so much of this? He's well aware of his vanity. He also knows that he can be full of himself. These are not things he tries to deny, in fact he has frequently acknowledged them. I would also point out that meditation could quite easily bring somebody close to Jesus. Meditation fits perfectly fine into what you're saying.
@Darren Jesus has many faces, as are the paths to God. Be mindful of this fact and judge not. In whatever way peace and love light up our hearts we are in the presence of God. In reading your comment one could judge that it is you yourself that is being duped. Also Jesus does not suffer from such arrogance as the traits you ascribe to him. Outside my window the sun is shining, the birds are laughing and chattering at the absurdity of humans, the trees are stretching out their arms, covered in buds as offerings to the world. Indeed I am in the presence of God. Amen
I found Kundalini yoga in the early 90’s, way before it became popular on the east coast. It helped me function without medication after years of self destruction, rehab, then having to go to work and raise a child in the real world. It was so helpful but I got out of the habit. Now at 65 I’m trying to get back into it again, and Russell these videos are so helpful. You are so helpful. And thanks for the humor, crack reference, and the fart at the end 😄. Just makes it all so much more relatable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Well done 👍🏼
@Darren I know people who are afraid of Kundalini- based on here say. If you don’t understand it that’s fine. As for Russell being full of himself 🤷♀️. Personally I have to give him credit for being a brilliant I interviewer and courageously speak on subjects the main stream news doesn’t speak on. I wouldn’t be judging the guy- he’s doing a great service here and in his podcast- RUclips is free, and you don’t have to watch it if you don’t like him, let alone comment. In fact I can’t believe I just wasted all this time answering you. 😂
I rarely comment on videos, but... I have just started my journey into meditation (looking for a TM teacher that's close to me, at the moment) and thanks to watching a ton of videos, many with you, David Lynch, Dr. Bob Roth I've stumbled upon this channel. So happy I did! Just listening to this video "feels right" and I am so excited to keep going. This is the first time anything has "clicked" with me and my intuition is basically screaming at me to go further. ❤ Thank you for creating such helpful content!
Venereal? I'm crying! THIS is why I tune in...your lovely unique concoction of heavy + a lil levity...you never fail to crack me up in the 1st minute of your videos which is saying something since I am seeking healing from depression, anxiety + all that jazz...so Thank You, Russell! You always make the cloud less grey 🙏💚
The more I still my mind, the more I find I trust when it is guiding me somewhere. can't wait to try this during my morning! *edit: Did it and thoroughly enjoyed. the breath is so important. P.S. Russell I fucking love you, don't ever stop being you
Don’t care what the nay sayers say, Russell is on point with his meditation techniques and spiritual advice. Jesus would’ve been his friend over the holier than thou people. Namaste 🙏 ❤️
Russell I love you 🙏. I have been connected to teachers such as Ram Dass and psychedelics since the early 70s as a young teenager. My spirit has always remained there though my life has had many incarnations. Have felt a kindred spiritness with you for many years. BTW it is the pineal gland, not the pituitary just above our eyes. As a reflexologist I know that the pituitary and pineal reflexes seem to be interchangeable but for me pineal is just above the nasal cavity. Namaste, Big Hugs, Stay free! 🙏😊👣
Congrats 21 weeks...Some more vigorous breathwork techniques may not be recommended during pregnancy...but this one is great! Sending you 💓 on your journey.
You have grown so much. You are a great being of light. I enjoyed every bit of it....I am so proud of you. You are a great spiritual teacher. Love and blessings!!!!!!
I love you and your message, Russell... and I love that you're looking more and more like a Jedi every day. I'm going to manifest a life that's so great and about me living as my highest self that I get to talk with you in person one day. That's what my intuition tells me. Blessings to everyone reading this. 🙏🧡
I love this channel. I have also been listening to Andrew Huberman's podcast (neurobiologist) and a lot of meditation, breathing, social interaction benefits are backed by science. So this isn't all nonsense. I have never felt better both spiritually and physically!
Being Diagnosed w/ASC at 36, 14 yrs ago, losing both of my parents 3 years apart & then the Pandemic happen leaving me feeling Isolated. I left my faith to find a Balance. Something w/ less Daily Guilt. It’s been rough yet I do a Job I LOVE!!! Yes at times, I do Bark. No worries, my Bark is worst the my bite. Lol (JK) What typically keeps me sane is my job. Your Content is Entertaining & makes my Day🤗. I Appreciate you! So i forward to seeing more of you! Take Care Today, Russell☮️
Meditation in any form is a great way to detach from our grasping with the causes and conditions of everyday reality. We all have to make a living or governed to be productive contributors of society. The more we can connect with our inner consciousness and not reactivity the better or wiser decision will arise when confronted with either internal or external challenges. Interestingly though, after listen to a conversation between Jordan Peterson and Jocko Willink last night I wrote this comment, in relation to mantras. Throughout history wisdom traditions have always been manipulated to fit the needs of those wanting to dominate a narrative, i.e. corrupting the teachings with the egoic thinking mind. Something to reflect on. "As a New Zealander and past member of the logistics team in the New Zealand army we were always told about our S.A.S soldiers as being the pinnacle of soldiering. Funnily enough after watching a documentary about their training, most if not all, stated, the hardest challenge was in interrogation/prisoner of war scenarios. These situations are usually conducted with being blinded and deafened or instilled with disturbing audio and forced to sit or stand in stress positions with no end time specified. Definitely demonstrates to the instructors those whom have a deep drive to handle internal and external demons and to find a safe spot between the two. I also read a recent article about US special forces soldiers being put through contemporary 8 day mindfulness silent retreats and stated at the end that it was far harder than any of the training scenarios provided in the field. All soldiers from the very beginning get their military number ingrained to memory. If caught a soldier simply responds to the enemy their rank, number and say nothing else. A single focused form of meditation, not to dissimilar with any religious faith that uses mantras as a means to focus attention on the here and now".
Thank you so so so much for this. ❤❤ following along with you is the first time I have ever tried anything like this before. I feel so..... energized! Almost like watching the sunrise on a crisp morning. ❤
Sa Re. Russell, I'm so glad u r sharing this type of technique. Because u r doing great, so whatever your doing has got to be worth it. I'm taking a class for communion with divine. I have to find one. I have thought that all things were more powerful than me. I learned some cool ways of letting the animals out, so healing can happen. I'm super supporting your new channel. Body centered healing, pranayama, is a good thing to learn.
Dear Russell , I would like to thank you so much for this great content. I love your channel. I got a spiritual connection with you brother . I hope you have a great long life . It is fun my friend because 10 years ago I used to hated you. But when I get to know your throughout this channel. You changed my view about you . It was the mainstream media gave you a different image .I am glad to get to know you , it is even I start to feel connected with your spirit . And you gained a huge respect and I am really glad you made this channel . Peace brother
Been wanting to get into meditation and reconnect with my spirituality for quite some time. I've recently reconnected with my spiritual upbringing (which is Christianity and of which I hear of much in what you say and how you say those things) but meditation has continued to elude me. This was such an amazing explanation. Great guidance. So many useful sort of "touchpoints" where I could connect what I know about the respiratory system or this or that. This was so helpful and I truly believe I will keep coming back to this as I learn to practice this form of connection. Thank you so much.
I love meditation. I have one where the woman is singing it and i have trouble with some of the breathing because i have been sliced and diced. i have found sometimes i have to meiditate and do self hypnosis or guided in positions that i can elongate my spine.even laying on a bed or medicine ball and have to breath out hard several times but i do love it and there are so many dialects so thank you. I am glad you are breathing much better things. I do know myself. I am hypersensitive to what is around me. I have to get away from my massive stress and decompress and it is difficult sometimes but it takes practice because my body is so messed up surgeries and spine damage but stress is the worst issue i have. Often it is because of other people with negative energy. i tense up immediately and people think because i am a survivor of so many trauma's that I am strong. I am not. I have worked hard to be even alive, let alone walking but I like the breathing ( even at times it can take forever to get space in my chest cavity) i sleep best with self medication or lucid dreaming if i go to bed early because some of the past life regressions are a way to make your own dreams. there is not much anywhere on the net that uses that same technique. for dream and i think it would benefit to have more. this was very interesting and a bit different than my usual.
When I think I can't possibly love you any more than I already do, you say "plopera" lol forever grateful to be sharing this blip on the radar of infinity with you ❤
Oh my. Thanks Russell, I just took part in your meditation: you've certainly got the, errr, throat for it. During your opening ditty, I felt myself sink to a spot within myself I'd not quite reached before. It was as if I literally had the magic of the now moment in the palm of my hands. Noone else's. It is just me who can influence my own reality, the primary take home message from that experience. Then I ascended toward what can only be described as a sheer brilliant white light that engulfed me and, well, I didn't want to leave that throne for long after you'd stopped rambling on about whatever it was you were saying while I was in a state of total blissful, heartbreaking, truth. So thanks a lot :* I may be hooked. Enzo xx
I kinda ruined it on the first run, lol, forgot to keep the 20 sec when breathed out and then forgot to inhale again on the nose 🙈 will do it again next time it will be better 😁 thanks for these videos, please keep sharing these exercises. I have no chance to find a teacher so this is the second best thing right now. Big hugs. Love the way you are going now
It is a way of relaxation. I used to be a musician and this seems to be a variation of that. Music has rhythm and sound and singing and wind instruments require breath control. The string instruments require bow control.
A fantastic local kundalini teacher I’d recently started learning from passed away from COVID last year, sadly. While doing this meditation today I felt the same warmth and peace I felt in his classes. Very approachable. Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏽
A tear rolled down my cheek during the practice and I don’t know what’s that about 😅 but now my head is calm , i’ve never felt this calm in ages ! I feel serene .. thank you Russell
I've started watching these sort of videos of you on your awakening channel, however many times I didn't follow up on joining the practice. I did not believe, now, at those moments, was the right time for me to do those practices, because I was busy, wanting a smoke or another sip of my beer, but I did experience a willingness to try them out, based on the belief and previous experience that they work. This time I made a sort of compromise and thought, let's just watch the whole practice, also since I've learned and experienced the placebo effect of visualizing an exercise can have on your actual physicality. So I did, and it was very calming and I joined in on some small parts, for instance joining the finger movements, chanting along mentally and the breathing bit for the most part(doing Wim Hof daily for two years now, although with short pauses in between sometimes, made it so probably, that this was not so much of a challenge). So, this helped. I guess I am sharing this, because this might be a good way for others as well, to step in gently into the spiritual practice of kundalini yoga.
Love ya Russel. I am a supervisor in a jail working towards my degree in Family Studies and then masters in Drug and alcohol counseling. I’ve read your books. Great stuff and so proud of your growth!!!!
Hey, whatever works for you, but it does seem that you feel it has to be challenging. It doesn't. I'd never meditated and went to my first ever metaphysical anything (well, aside from lotsa church as a kid). It was a class on intuition. Basically, the instruction was just deep breathe, lol. This was a large class of about 40 ppl. She had us just look around the room and lock eyes with someone, and a nod of agreement, and then we'd sit down and "read" each other. As far as I could tell, everyone was knowing things about these total strangers. We did this for hours. It was amazing. Life-changing. Again, this was a totally new experience for me. I will say, a friend of mine said she'd been meditating for years, before she could read ppl like I was. I like to do mantras sometimes, but it's more about how calming it is. "Ohm" makes my brain happy, ha. Saying it very slowly "AhhhhhhOhhhhhMmmmm" (each part has some specific significance). As far as the index/ring-finger thing, I immediately realized this is about the repetition. ANY repetition is going to make one more intuitive. Years ago I was working in an office, doing a really repetitive task, going over computer printouts, the same sh*t over and over and over... And this was long before the above "awakening." It's a cool story what happened, but in a nutshell. While doing this repetitiveness one day, the radio caught my attention. An advertisement that I'd heard a million times (radio on all the time), but in this moment it spurred a fun story that I felt compelled to share with a co-worker. Her desk right across from mine. Long story short, after I finished the story, her phone rang and essentially the person on the other end was saying things that I had just said to her. So much so that her eyes bugged out and she looked over at me while still on the phone, like she'd seen a ghost, lol. So yeah, repetition is the deal. It's kind of mind-numbing; i.e., it gets the mind (or left-brain) out of the way so the fun woo-woo stuff can come through, ha. Babe, don't make it so hard, so "up there" above you/others. It really isn't. Oh, it would be fun to hear any intuitiveness that you experienced after doing the finger thing though. Another thing meditation tends to do is stoke synchronicities in one's life. That's fun too :-) Speaking of fun, just being light of heart and playful can stoke one's intuitiveness. And creativity. The two kinda dance together.
Great (and hilarious!) authentic teacher, philosopher and freedom-fighter. Definitely attuned to the infinite and the real deal. Love the meditation. Thank you, Russell, for brightening the lives of myself abd so many others with your clarity and wisdom. I hope I have the good fortune to meet you someday. Love & Peace
I was a practitioner of Kundalini yoga for two years 15 years ago. I think it was a some of the happiest most well adjusted time in my life. This have me a taste of that. You're right, it works. Thank you.
I’m surprised at how well this worked in just the 3 minutes to clear my mind and I did feel more connected- Body-Mind-Spirit. Will have to give 30 a go! Thank you 🙏
Thank u Russel. Which I can say with an unabashed perspective. That I am currently an addict, with some promise of relenting. A good deal of help from yourself and others. The anonymous verity as well. Becuad I a firm believer that if u want 2 get clean and sober. Then there's 1 place 2 go that can truly do just that. UC I am a brain I love using it, and try everyday I go 2 some lengths to improve on it, open it up, and strengthen it. Both mentally and physically. I take supplements 2 feed my mind (more so) and body (I'm far 2 skinny, thanks metabolism, diet, skateboarding {lots of it on my days off}, and the before mentioned). My living situation is my biggest down fall. And working helps the most, more so if myself and every other coworker didn't hate the place and express it every day. But this is another very, u don't need any1 but yourself and the patience to get some healthy mind state in order to get to the healthy body part. Thank u again. Btw this is the chopped version I had to go back and earse SOO MUCH lol. But it's ok the life story is a bit to much for a comment area 😁 thank you so much
This is great. A most excellent yoga! Thank you for sharing and demonstrating this technique, I think it has profound effects… I’m ecstatic knowing how many are choosing to connect to kundalini.
“I could do a poo without changing my facial expression, you know, there wouldn’t be an opera” 🤣🤣🤣 You do know, Russell, that your sense of humour with draw many to these practices who otherwise would not be interested? I know you know; great job mate!❤️
Thanks so much for this Russ. Trying to process some difficult things at the moment and this new channel has already steered me in a clearer direction. Thanks for even more generous content. :)
Sceptical, buggered lungs from many years of drugs, didn't really feel much different afterwards tbh, but I'll keep doing it for a few days . Cheers mate 🙏🏻
3 года назад+3
Took me a month of meditation and pranayama to feel a difference. And 3 months to change in almost every aspect of my life.
I agree with you about needing a routine Russell, but, prayer to the One and only God is needed for your salvation. Jesus is the Only Way to Him! God has shown you that there is more to life, and He gave you your many talents and gifts for a reason, but He won't force Himself on you. The Holy Bible is True, Real, and: " living, effective and sharper than any double- edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and morrow. It is able to judge the idea and thoughts of the heart". God bless.
and again - - -after the day has gone by, and just coming in from a bike ride under the stars - - i didn't want to come in, nor go to bed-but have appointments in the day . . . so i did this - and I feel really calm - this is good - i hardly ever feel calm
“Pleasure is distraction, contentment is connection”. Perfect. I'm with you. Then it goes, "now we pray"... Ahem, to whom? Ahem... I'm an atheist. What do I do? PS Love the robe.
I love these moments, I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia Affective Disorder in 2019, n I've been blessed with some media attention/respect of peers. I'm trying to NOT be the hysterical mess I have been because of the Ups n Downs of my life 🙃.... I love the creative flow of my ailment, but it takes daily management to create my writings/speeches(borrowed by the Billboards' Mania Mondays" haha) without mood stabilizers. Much needed in 2019, but now I'm choosing to manage my health on my own terms. I feel the messages I "channel" haha r important for my personal po, lil misunderstood Jew, Jesus Freak, musings, AND the collective consciousness n evolution. Thanks for all you do to help us, buddy!!!
I cannot do the excercise as yet my 19 year old is visiting and will take the Micky even more than usually🤣 but will do it when she goes back to uni. Thank you so much ❤
These are so helpful Russell . Please do more of these . I love the way that you do them and make them more accessible . It’s fantastic. I cam e to kundalini in the90s and have been doing it again much more . Rally love Guru Jagat and her no nonsense rock and roll approach .I have got to say that you very much are taking on the baton that she left behind and it’s so lovely to watch and participate in .the whole channel awakening with Russell is just so beautiful . I really am so impressed by the way you teach it all . Fab! Keep on keeping up .

Pleasure is just fine, as long as it's not used to numb or avoid any uncomfortable emotions. After that, pleasure away! 🔥🥰🔥
That Could of Been Lost Forever!!!👏👏👏🧐
I love the way how whimsical he talks about his past drug use and sees it as a component as growth, rather than a stain on his soul. Thank you for making me smile mr Brand, stay blessed 🙏🏾💜
How can you grow without experience.
You know you say your not a guru but your my guru, changing my life everyday with these
You are your own guru by doing them :D
Yep, to both

I found Kundalini yoga in the early 90’s, way before it became popular on the east coast.

id never do hippy chanting this id rather kill someone

I thought I heard something there but dismissed it with "Russell wouldn't jest on the naughty bits". I was wrong - thank God

This is what I believe, I pray a protective hedge around all that I love and, all that are lost, that they may come to see the light.
Pleasure is distraction... contentment is connection...I like that 👍
I honestly myself thinking Russell Brand is A Great Human Being , doing the best he can to help civilization survive.
I’m 21 weeks pregnant and honestly your exercises help so much with connection and remembering self worth, Thankyou ❤️
Congrats 21 weeks...Some more vigorous breathwork techniques may not be recommended during pregnancy...but this one is great! Sending you 💓 on your journey.
Thank you for this. A full 31 minute version, guided by you would be wonderful.
My favorite thing is when you say something that catches me off guard so much I burst into laughter. Best medicine.
You have grown so much. You are a great being of light. I enjoyed every bit of it....I am so proud of you. You are a great spiritual teacher. Love and blessings!!!!!!

Meditation in any form is a great way to detach from our grasping with the causes and conditions of everyday reality. We all have to make a living or governed to be productive contributors of society. The more we can connect with our inner consciousness and not reactivity the better or wiser decision will arise when confronted with either internal or external challenges.
Interestingly though, after listen to a conversation between Jordan Peterson and Jocko Willink last night I wrote this comment, in relation to mantras. Throughout history wisdom traditions have always been manipulated to fit the needs of those wanting to dominate a narrative, i.e. corrupting the teachings with the egoic thinking mind. Something to reflect on.
"As a New Zealander and past member of the logistics team in the New Zealand army we were always told about our S.A.S soldiers as being the pinnacle of soldiering. Funnily enough after watching a documentary about their training, most if not all, stated, the hardest challenge was in interrogation/prisoner of war scenarios. These situations are usually conducted with being blinded and deafened or instilled with disturbing audio and forced to sit or stand in stress positions with no end time specified. Definitely demonstrates to the instructors those whom have a deep drive to handle internal and external demons and to find a safe spot between the two. I also read a recent article about US special forces soldiers being put through contemporary 8 day mindfulness silent retreats and stated at the end that it was far harder than any of the training scenarios provided in the field. All soldiers from the very beginning get their military number ingrained to memory. If caught a soldier simply responds to the enemy their rank, number and say nothing else. A single focused form of meditation, not to dissimilar with any religious faith that uses mantras as a means to focus attention on the here and now".
My third eye feels alive! Thank you Russell Brand. I love you and your thoughts!
Thank you so so so much for this. ❤❤ following along with you is the first time I have ever tried anything like this before. I feel so..... energized! Almost like watching the sunrise on a crisp morning. ❤
I'm 75 years old and I have learned to roll with the punches. I'm here because I don't listen to my intuition enough.
I can relate to smoking pot 😇
Your voice is soothing. Only videos I can meditate with.
I am a serious practitioner of meditation and getting in touch with my own intuition.
I prefer these videos over the political ones.
Sa Re. Russell, I'm so glad u r sharing this type of technique. Because u r doing great, so whatever your doing has got to be worth it. I'm taking a class for communion with divine. I have to find one. I have thought that all things were more powerful than me. I learned some cool ways of letting the animals out, so healing can happen. I'm super supporting your new channel. Body centered healing, pranayama, is a good thing to learn.
Dear Russell , I would like to thank you so much for this great content. I love your channel. I got a spiritual connection with you brother . I hope you have a great long life . It is fun my friend because 10 years ago I used to hated you. But when I get to know your throughout this channel. You changed my view about you . It was the mainstream media gave you a different image .I am glad to get to know you , it is even I start to feel connected with your spirit . And you gained a huge respect and I am really glad you made this channel . Peace brother
Been wanting to get into meditation and reconnect with my spirituality for quite some time. I've recently reconnected with my spiritual upbringing (which is Christianity and of which I hear of much in what you say and how you say those things) but meditation has continued to elude me. This was such an amazing explanation. Great guidance. So many useful sort of "touchpoints" where I could connect what I know about the respiratory system or this or that. This was so helpful and I truly believe I will keep coming back to this as I learn to practice this form of connection. Thank you so much.
Like the transparency of your nature. First time I've heard of those hand mudra's and chants. Thanks.
Thank you for everything your doing, Russell, it is much needed and appreciated.
Thank you. Will start doing daily... not "trying" but "doing"
I love meditation. I have one where the woman is singing it and i have trouble with some of the breathing because i have been sliced and diced. i have found sometimes i have to meiditate and do self hypnosis or guided in positions that i can elongate my spine.even laying on a bed or medicine ball and have to breath out hard several times but i do love it and there are so many dialects so thank you. I am glad you are breathing much better things. I do know myself. I am hypersensitive to what is around me. I have to get away from my massive stress and decompress and it is difficult sometimes but it takes practice because my body is so messed up surgeries and spine damage but stress is the worst issue i have. Often it is because of other people with negative energy. i tense up immediately and people think because i am a survivor of so many trauma's that I am strong. I am not. I have worked hard to be even alive, let alone walking but I like the breathing ( even at times it can take forever to get space in my chest cavity) i sleep best with self medication or lucid dreaming if i go to bed early because some of the past life regressions are a way to make your own dreams. there is not much anywhere on the net that uses that same technique. for dream and i think it would benefit to have more. this was very interesting and a bit different than my usual.
When I think I can't possibly love you any more than I already do, you say "plopera" lol forever grateful to be sharing this blip on the radar of infinity with you ❤
I really appreciate this channel. Thank you. Reaching all the way into Appalachia. Helping more than you know.
Oh my.
Thanks Russell, I just took part in your meditation: you've certainly got the, errr, throat for it. During your opening ditty, I felt myself sink to a spot within myself I'd not quite reached before. It was as if I literally had the magic of the now moment in the palm of my hands. Noone else's. It is just me who can influence my own reality, the primary take home message from that experience.
Then I ascended toward what can only be described as a sheer brilliant white light that engulfed me and, well, I didn't want to leave that throne for long after you'd stopped rambling on about whatever it was you were saying while I was in a state of total blissful, heartbreaking, truth.
So thanks a lot :* I may be hooked.

You got lungs like mr Hoff no way could a hold it in for that long. The feeling afterwards is pretty miraculous, thanks Russ 💚
I kinda ruined it on the first run, lol, forgot to keep the 20 sec when breathed out and then forgot to inhale again on the nose 🙈 will do it again next time it will be better 😁 thanks for these videos, please keep sharing these exercises. I have no chance to find a teacher so this is the second best thing right now. Big hugs. Love the way you are going now
It is a way of relaxation. I used to be a musician and this seems to be a variation of that. Music has rhythm and sound and singing and wind instruments require breath control. The string instruments require bow control.
A fantastic local kundalini teacher I’d recently started learning from passed away from COVID last year, sadly. While doing this meditation today I felt the same warmth and peace I felt in his classes. Very approachable. Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏽
he died from sitting on the floor grunting ... lol
Beautiful. Thank you yet again.
🙏❤️
🙆
Very powerful Russell. Thank you ☯️🙏🏼
A tear rolled down my cheek during the practice and I don’t know what’s that about 😅 but now my head is calm , i’ve never felt this calm in ages ! I feel serene .. thank you Russell
You’re a gift. Love you so much.
I've started watching these sort of videos of you on your awakening channel, however many times I didn't follow up on joining the practice. I did not believe, now, at those moments, was the right time for me to do those practices, because I was busy, wanting a smoke or another sip of my beer, but I did experience a willingness to try them out, based on the belief and previous experience that they work. This time I made a sort of compromise and thought, let's just watch the whole practice, also since I've learned and experienced the placebo effect of visualizing an exercise can have on your actual physicality. So I did, and it was very calming and I joined in on some small parts, for instance joining the finger movements, chanting along mentally and the breathing bit for the most part(doing Wim Hof daily for two years now, although with short pauses in between sometimes, made it so probably, that this was not so much of a challenge). So, this helped. I guess I am sharing this, because this might be a good way for others as well, to step in gently into the spiritual practice of kundalini yoga.
Love ya Russel. I am a supervisor in a jail working towards my degree in Family Studies and then masters in Drug and alcohol counseling. I’ve read your books. Great stuff and so proud of your growth!!!!
Hey, whatever works for you, but it does seem that you feel it has to be challenging. It doesn't. I'd never meditated and went to my first ever metaphysical anything (well, aside from lotsa church as a kid). It was a class on intuition. Basically, the instruction was just deep breathe, lol. This was a large class of about 40 ppl. She had us just look around the room and lock eyes with someone, and a nod of agreement, and then we'd sit down and "read" each other. As far as I could tell, everyone was knowing things about these total strangers. We did this for hours. It was amazing. Life-changing. Again, this was a totally new experience for me. I will say, a friend of mine said she'd been meditating for years, before she could read ppl like I was. I like to do mantras sometimes, but it's more about how calming it is. "Ohm" makes my brain happy, ha. Saying it very slowly "AhhhhhhOhhhhhMmmmm" (each part has some specific significance). As far as the index/ring-finger thing, I immediately realized this is about the repetition. ANY repetition is going to make one more intuitive. Years ago I was working in an office, doing a really repetitive task, going over computer printouts, the same sh*t over and over and over... And this was long before the above "awakening." It's a cool story what happened, but in a nutshell. While doing this repetitiveness one day, the radio caught my attention. An advertisement that I'd heard a million times (radio on all the time), but in this moment it spurred a fun story that I felt compelled to share with a co-worker. Her desk right across from mine. Long story short, after I finished the story, her phone rang and essentially the person on the other end was saying things that I had just said to her. So much so that her eyes bugged out and she looked over at me while still on the phone, like she'd seen a ghost, lol. So yeah, repetition is the deal. It's kind of mind-numbing; i.e., it gets the mind (or left-brain) out of the way so the fun woo-woo stuff can come through, ha. Babe, don't make it so hard, so "up there" above you/others. It really isn't. Oh, it would be fun to hear any intuitiveness that you experienced after doing the finger thing though. Another thing meditation tends to do is stoke synchronicities in one's life. That's fun too :-) Speaking of fun, just being light of heart and playful can stoke one's intuitiveness. And creativity. The two kinda dance together.
Great (and hilarious!) authentic teacher, philosopher and freedom-fighter. Definitely attuned to the infinite and the real deal. Love the meditation. Thank you, Russell, for brightening the lives of myself abd so many others with your clarity and wisdom. I hope I have the good fortune to meet you someday. Love & Peace
1:20 wow you have my full and complete attention. I am everything you just described.
Remember to relax the shoulders and body. I felt myself tense and had to make my self relax my body.
Thank you uncle russ
@russellbrand I can’t stay ‘zen’ if you randomly keep CRACKING ME UP!! 🤣🥰
Thank you for sharing this! So happy I found this channel! What a wonderful practice. I’ll incorporate it into my evening routine. Thanks again❤️🙏
One of the greatest quotes ever!!
I was a practitioner of Kundalini yoga for two years 15 years ago. I think it was a some of the happiest most well adjusted time in my life. This have me a taste of that. You're right, it works. Thank you.
I’m surprised at how well this worked in just the 3 minutes to clear my mind and I did feel more connected- Body-Mind-Spirit. Will have to give 30 a go! Thank you 🙏
if this done something your mind was already empty
Thank u Russel. Which I can say with an unabashed perspective. That I am currently an addict, with some promise of relenting. A good deal of help from yourself and others. The anonymous verity as well. Becuad I a firm believer that if u want 2 get clean and sober. Then there's 1 place 2 go that can truly do just that.
UC I am a brain I love using it, and try everyday I go 2 some lengths to improve on it, open it up, and strengthen it. Both mentally and physically. I take supplements 2 feed my mind (more so) and body (I'm far 2 skinny, thanks metabolism, diet, skateboarding {lots of it on my days off}, and the before mentioned).
My living situation is my biggest down fall. And working helps the most, more so if myself and every other coworker didn't hate the place and express it every day.
But this is another very, u don't need any1 but yourself and the patience to get some healthy mind state in order to get to the healthy body part.
Thank u again. Btw this is the chopped version I had to go back and earse SOO MUCH lol. But it's ok the life story is a bit to much for a comment area 😁 thank you so much
Your every video makes me wanna cry. There are countless ways of cleaning oneself. Thank you for these teachings and sharings ❤
Satnam Russel! Waheguru 🙏
This is great. A most excellent yoga! Thank you for sharing and demonstrating this technique, I think it has profound effects… I’m ecstatic knowing how many are choosing to connect to kundalini.
“I could do a poo without changing my facial expression, you know, there wouldn’t be an opera” 🤣🤣🤣 You do know, Russell, that your sense of humour with draw many to these practices who otherwise would not be interested? I know you know; great job mate!❤️
Thank You Thank You Thank you 🙏 this has helped me very much, blessings to you and yours.
Thanks so much for this Russ. Trying to process some difficult things at the moment and this new channel has already steered me in a clearer direction. Thanks for even more generous content. :)
May the Force be with you.
Thank You Russell!
Its deeper always! Look into his backgrounds every post.
Sceptical, buggered lungs from many years of drugs, didn't really feel much different afterwards tbh, but I'll keep doing it for a few days .
Cheers mate 🙏🏻
Took me a month of meditation and pranayama to feel a difference. And 3 months to change in almost every aspect of my life.
you transport me to another realm - looking forward to my next trip
Thank You Russell!
Don't wanna waste that buzzz - cracked me TF up!
This is good for people who can never say sorry
Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks Russel!! I love this excercise!!! 🥰
Thank you for doing what you're doing Russel!! I recently found you're enlightenment page and I'm loving it!! Xoxo
You gotta love RB ❤️👍. It is what it is😎
I agree with you about needing a routine Russell, but, prayer to the One and only God is needed for your salvation. Jesus is the Only Way to Him! God has shown you that there is more to life, and He gave you your many talents and gifts for a reason, but He won't force Himself on you. The Holy Bible is True, Real, and:
" living, effective and sharper than any double- edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and morrow. It is able to judge the idea and thoughts of the heart". God bless.
In the silence of your soul, there is an answer. Thank you Russell, that was wonderful 🙏
i really liked this one. felt a pain in my back and it was dispersed back to the ether for transmutation, was really freeing. thank you xxx
and again - - -after the day has gone by, and just coming in from a bike ride under the stars - - i didn't want to come in, nor go to bed-but have appointments in the day . . . so i did this - and I feel really calm - this is good - i hardly ever feel calm
Thank you, Russel.
“Pleasure is distraction, contentment is connection”. Perfect. I'm with you.
Then it goes, "now we pray"... Ahem, to whom? Ahem... I'm an atheist. What do I do?
PS Love the robe.
I'm new to your channel but can I say that I love it already. I look forward to watching more of your videos 🤍
A real guru of life!! 🙏💛❤💞💟😇
Thank you, I enjoyed that, and will continue.
I love these moments, I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia Affective Disorder in 2019, n I've been blessed with some media attention/respect of peers. I'm trying to NOT be the hysterical mess I have been because of the Ups n Downs of my life 🙃.... I love the creative flow of my ailment, but it takes daily management to create my writings/speeches(borrowed by the Billboards' Mania Mondays" haha) without mood stabilizers. Much needed in 2019, but now I'm choosing to manage my health on my own terms. I feel the messages I "channel" haha r important for my personal po, lil misunderstood Jew, Jesus Freak, musings, AND the collective consciousness n evolution. Thanks for all you do to help us, buddy!!!
I cannot do the excercise as yet my 19 year old is visiting and will take the Micky even more than usually🤣 but will do it when she goes back to uni. Thank you so much ❤
