How to Meditate 🙏🏼

- Meditation is a practice that can benefit your health and wellness in so many ways. I’ve been trying to meditate more lately, so I was inspired to make a basic how to meditate video focusing on creating beautiful visuals and experimenting with ways I can improve my craft. Do you meditate? I’m curious to know why you meditate and how it’s affected your life :)

I’m glad your still here 🙏🏼
Don’t give up ever, you don’t have permission to.
when I was little, since I couldn't sleep, I found that focusing on my breath could make me fall asleep quite quickly, so now It's kinda tricky if I want to meditate, cause i'll tend to fall asleep lmao
Imao
😂😂😂
Could you teach me or enlighten me about meditation I would like to meditate too but I don't know much about it 🥺
@@masum1731 Hey, I'm not the best to ask about this, I'm not an expert, but the things I know about it is that you have to sit straight, comfortably, focus and visualize your breathing, and do your best to only have that in mind. It will be easier with practice. The goal of meditation, is to be mindful, and in the moment. To fully appreciate your life while living it, to be as tuned in with your spiritual powers as possible. ( it also helps a lot if you have anxiety). But please don't just take my word for it, read, watch videos, and educate yourself on the matter. Good luck !!💜⭐
@@laura_nix thanks a lot for this I need a person who can tell me about own experience you have that too :-) yeah I will meditate as you told me in your reply... By the way how long have you been to meditate!
Meditation is one of my daily practices, and I always learn so much from it. Be it gaining discipline, feel more calm, control my emotions, be more open, or get in touch with my essence. It's incredibly good to feel at peace and enhance creativity. I reccommend it to everyone!
beautiful!
Hello..when you say creativity what actually is that referring to
Dont lie
I got to ask.what is it that you learn?.. this process its so freaking confusing.. Everyone talks about the benefits..but the process is weird and confusing..I don't get it...
All your videos have some positive vibes ....love & light
Aloha crafts have you felt a difference
You are aloha crafts do you follow lavendaire. I am your subscriber
I'm here because my thoughts are a serious chaotic mess.
you gotten any better?
Same here, having terrifying thoughts about life, death, existence and time, as well as god
You're not alone bro
Consistency is key. Honestly, it matters more that you meditate consistently vs. how long you do it. 😊 Track your meditation habit in 2020 using the Habit Tracker in the new Artist of Life Workbook!

Great video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (do a google search)? It is a good one off product for learning how to hack your flow state minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
Lavendaire how long can it take to make it a habit
I started meditation a while back but now I’m seriously into it and I’m feeling much better I’m not really tired or hurting all that much anymore and I just want to say that it’s awesome seeing so many others being peaceful to others and themselves
I've never tried meditation while sitting down, but what I've always done is when I'm about to sleep, I just lay down and completely clear my mind and focus on keeping it clear. Minutes later I would feel like I'm floating off my bed and my head feels like someone is giving me a head massage. Feels really good and helps me sleep very quickly.
@@user-pm4jp5jk1nwhat?
@@user-pm4jp5jk1n dafuq u sayin bro
Out of body experience
meditating makes me happy with myself when I'm done, I feel like a good person no matter what I've done and I'm sorry for it, I feel bad for being a mean person but I cant help it, meditating helps me relax and I like to listen to subliminals, it helps me shift also so that's a bonus, love you guys 💙

Dear , if you really want to do yoga and meditation, then please vist India, Himalaya. Caves where sasdhus or yogis in almost naked at -50 degree with full covered in ice sitting still and practising yoga and meditation...
Please visit below video
ruclips.net/video/L9399hkdXFo/видео.html
There are many such videos.
They are real yogis from whom Meditation needs to be learnt,not the one in Meditation centre looting your dollars for the sale of precious knowledge and wisdom.
Shut your mouth up because its our spritual knowledge and we take these type of classes in our childhood as once a week its indian culture may be you are aware of it but it is the Sanatan dharam wich gives you that kind of knowledge and art of leaving kindly request to my frinds Don't follow them they all make fool of our self please read the concept of our dharam wich gives basic knowledge and simple leaving. Read about meditation in Vivekananda book they teach you well.
yo how tf do i sit like that

Never tried meditating...I want to try it after I went through the dreamlifeseries. My life is super chaotic with kids and trying to rebuild my life so something calming is awesome to try.
Meditation will help with that for sure... it may even spark an interest in your kids.
Get rid of those kids. Maybe sell them. It will make you happy and you will be in better financial situation.
I love meditation. It takes me away from the normalities of every day life.

Aren't you suppose to do it with eyes closed
I've dabbled in Headspace and Calm-- but actually one of your videos (Guided Mediation for Anxiety & Stress) was the first time I really felt swept away by meditation. I've used it several times since and it honestly has made me cry almost every time. And it was a good sort of crying-- the way you might cry if you finally found home again after being lost for a long time.
Namaste♥♥♥♥ yes I have been doing meditation from past 3 years.. its magical and everyone should do.. it calms you very well..
I have literally meditated twice and already feel somewhat at peace like I feel so abundant right now and I'm appreciative of it and I thank you for your video truly remarkable
If I start practicing meditation do I have to do it a specific time everyday??
@@farihasultanaazha no you don't. But it may be a good idea to get up like 30 mins to an hour earlier to do so. Best time in my opinion dumb early in the Rising. Like 5am to 7pm
@@iInspireSuccess tnx sis/bro
@@farihasultanaazha all good. Bro out. Happy manifesting
WOAH!!!! It made me feel like I was spinning around on a chair and then just drifted into outer space. I tried my hardest to focus on the breathing and I did it. This lasted about 25 minutes
@No Bubbles• really ? How does that work? Pls dm me on insta since i dont get notifications from youtube idk why (my acc is bb.37_1)
@@MM-vx3zo I think they might be talking about reality shifting wich if you google it on RUclips you should be able to find someone talking about it and how to do it
You’re doing it right
Watch what happened when I meditated for 8m ruclips.net/video/h59UXhHiNzM/видео.html 🧘🏽♂️
Thank you for this video. I have resisted attempting meditation for many years because I have ADD. But I've been having chemo for 2 years for metastatic breast cancer so I think it's time that I try. Thank you for saying it's not always easy in the beginning but to stick with it. That is very encouraging to me.
I've watched lots of "How to" meditation videos and this is the last and only one that I found helpful. Thanks I can finally meditate.
For once I dont know if it is "meditation" or not, I'm just a ten year old, I'm not some kind of monk. But once when I was trying to calm my mind by the way my mom taught me, "feel like your sitting by the ocean, feel the motion of the waves and don't think of anything." And once, when I tried that, in my mind, it felt like when I was "sitting by the ocean", a bird flew out of nowhere! I wasn't even thinking about a bird! And after that, I felt, more.. Umm.. How should I explain this.. Like... Calm and can think more easily? That is the most suitable way to describe it for me, srry if your confused😅
yes :) meditation will help with calmness and clear thinking
Lavendaire oh you have that mom
When I was way younger idk prbbly like 9 or less
I sat still VERY STILL
And felt like I was inside globe moving upside down right and left
Like a roller coaster but not aggressive
Lmao i told myself that oh when I sit still I can feel the earths movement 😂😂 wow me
Scowl8673 happy twelfth birthday little guy
Auntie Lizzette hahaha that’s actually really nice, great to see that good people still exist
Meditation is really a beautiful art of connecting yourself with nature. Taking positive energy from nature and negative inside is expelled out.
She knows what she's talking about cuz I researched a lot about meditating before watching her videos makes it so easy just by watching her do it
I've been meditating daily for about 60 days and it makes such a big difference in my mood and focus during the day! By the way, I really love your videos!
What do I talk inside while silent

I’m loving medication now it gets stuff off my mind and in my mind there no more sad and sad feelings so thank you so much 🙏🏼
I used to do diets and work outs all the time to get mentally and physically better. But nothing worked until this showed up on my for you page. It really helped me. Thank you. You have the thing I've been looking for for at least 7 years now. I'm being sincere. Thank you
I’ve been wanting to start meditating regularly for a while, but didn’t know how to get started.
Thank you so much for this video! Your explanations and guides left me feeling inspired and ready to incorporate this into my routine 🙏🏼
Wonderful............. The path of true freedom.
I love Meditation, I helps clear the mind from stress and anxiety.
I have never tried meditation before, but im really excited to give it my best shot, hopefully it goes well.
I have always wanted to try to meditate more, so I can see this proving to be very useful, thank you!
love the pfp
I really like how she said meditation is finding your presence in life. There's a really good book that helps with meditation and finding one's presence called "Stop missing your life."
i meditated for the first time 40 minutes ago and did it for 5 minutes
edit: it was so relaxing.refreshing and amazing
Did you know that you're the reason why I started meditation year ago. I still can remember the feeling of my first meditating so calm, beautiful, and kind. Thank you very much I always play this video of yours when I lost a drive to meditate. Never fails. Namaste.
I've done my first session and it felt A M A Z I N G. Those 5 minutes were truly, a special moment in my life. Thank you so much.
Yoga is truly such a great gift to humankind!

Hi Lavendaire ! I have been meditating for 3 days now and i entered the gap. I felt an odd sensation almost like i was watching what was around me even though i couldn't see. Then my timer went off. I dont know how long i was in the gap for but the chances are it was only about 20 seconds. I am going to change to ten minutes from 7 now and add a mudra.
sending my love in this difficult time and hope you are well . 💞
I have so many questions, if you ever have time, I'd like to pick your brain and ask a few questions.
This is excellent! Thank you Lavendaire for this guide! I'm sharing this with my friend who's dealing with horrible stress, she never meditated before. I'm hoping and praying she will get into it and get all the health benefits out of it.
I've just learned so much in 4 minutes.
I am trying to meditate for so long and now I know how to properly or are you lifesaver. With all that’s going on I just haven’t been myself with and just where I was going to happen next.Thank you you have been a real lifesaver as I was doing it as you tell me how to properly do it I just felt really calm like nothing else in the world mattered thank you so much
After 2 years of struggle with anxiety taking medicines, doing jogging finally starting meditation.Jogging helped me reduce anxiety but could not eliminate the root cause of it.Wish me luck🙏
How was it ? :)
I like mediation. It is my practice every morning. Thank you! This video is a beautiful!
Thanks so much for all the tips! I just start doing meditation about a week ago I am loving it 😁😁 I am using headspace as well it's AMAZING
I was listening to water and birds to relax and fell asleep during the day. I used it to calm before my dentist appointment and it didn’t really work, but I felt more relaxed and less afraid then before.

I really like meditating. My mind feels so relaxed and calm after meditating
Her: start focusing in your breath.
Me: okay... 1... 2... omg how do i breath? I think i need more air, oh shoot, why am i breathing so rapidly?
Yeah same happened to me at first when I was focusing I was breathing pretty fast just try to focus a lot more on it and calm yourself down.
aha, you just breathe normally until someone talks about breathing and you start focusing on that. It’s normal, don’t worry
I love your videos. There is one meditation video from your channel that I listen to every morning before I start my day.
Never tried Meditation before, but I need to. Your video is going to help

I'd love to see a video featuring the struggles with mediation. For example I used to beat myself up that I was falling asleep sometimes during meditations until I learned that it is ok and actually aids healing!
how to follow the breath with mind?
When ever I try to do meditation my head starts aching I don't understand why.
Maryam Dinal . it is strange. when i trying to follow the breath with mind, after meditation i dont feel happy, but im calmed. my problem is, that by follow with mind, i get effort
Lavendaire we should meditate together sometime:)
I used to be able to mediate fairly good. But lately I can't seem to quiet my mind enough. It seems to go a mile a minute with all kinds of thoughts. But I don't want to give up on mediation just yet.
Yes same here, some days my mind has to have the last word :)
Do you have to make inhalation and exhalation equal and do you have to breath in deep
maybe try just very short amounts of time at a time.
Like plan in 10-15 minutes, but really meditate in bursts if you have trouble keeping your mind quiet. Like, start just with a minute, focusing on your breath as mentioned in the video. If a minute works, even with a little trouble, try two minutes. I would just give about half as much time, then go again.
I don't actually know if this is a technique, but I imagine it could work. Just make sure you don't have any distractions, like your phone or another person. Just take time for yourself.
Siobhan N i just started meditating and my mind will not shut off no matter what i do
Siobhan N Hey sorry to hear your struggle at the moment. What kind of meditation videos do you follow? I’ve just launched a mindfulness/meditation channel and always looking for topics. I’d happily record a guided meditation on a topic of your suggestion :)
Thanks so much for your explanation of the hand poses and their meanings!
Thank you so much for the mudra definitions!😇
Meditation really help me to calm my panic attack and anxiety
To anyone reading this: You're secure. You're more than sufficient. You're just as you should be. You'll handle this, just like your past triumphs. And never forget, this too shall pass. 🌈🌠🌟
