Thank you so much for uploading this ❤️
I’ve been depressed and has regular anxiety attack since last year. Also, I never had the consistency and focus to things I want to achieve. Even as simple as losing weight and exercising. I am very unhappy. And always alone since I live independently.
I just meditated for the first time today. I meditated for 5 minutes. At firsts I was struggling to keep my eyes closed and to focus on my breathing. But after awhile I felt a wave of euphoria wash over me, I was truly in bliss. My only thoughts were those little breaks in between your breaths…before I knew it my timer went off. It almost felt like I was sitting there for only a minute or two. I haven’t felt this euphoric since my first hit of cannabis 4 years ago. I am going to continue to do this everyday until I reach 30 minutes.
The fact that the sound of our own breath makes us feel calm is a gift from nature.
Beautifully said.
this is a beautiful comment. 🙂
This made me breathe loudly
Imagine if it didn’t.
Probably why it is like it is
Truth
So I just meditated for 5 minuets
1: It felt like a long time
2: I feel so peaceful
I felt a weird but also nice sensation throughout my whole body..then I just felt relaxed and relieved after that. I love this 🙂
@Luis that was the same experience I had
RandomEx for me it felt like i was meditating for a very short time
@Hoodlin same
I meditated at 3:00 and when I was done it was already 7:45
Wow – THAT went quickly! Just tried this for the first time and it was so pleasant and calming that I will absolutely continue on with this. I like the idea of starting and ending the day this way. Thanks for the instruction!
I meditate lying down in bed after waking up. Sitting cross-legged makes MY LEGS fall asleep lol
Lol if i laid still in bed for longer than 30 seconds after waking up, I fall right back asleep
i reccomend sitting down on a chair or sitting down in an elevated position on the floor
I sit up in my bed, I can’t on the floor
😂😂🤣🤣🤣lol
Nupeee- you gotta sit cross legged :O but at that point of legs falling asleep– that’s already crossing into buddtist meditation,
Yes I agree with what the person in the video has said but the most recommended (my mother side are all monks, and my mother has said that everything around u are distractions, including your body heat) so before meditation, ♡ wear light loose clothing, have your hair tied and nothing should be touching you ♡
**your entire body should be relaxed, yes u can slouch but not to a point where u should be feeling pain- nope**
▪︎ put a folded t shirt on your lap and put your hands on it, make sure your hands dont touch each other and fingers too
▪︎ make sure you arent meditating on your bed but on a mattress or a comfortable place, not a floor because it’s hard– remember, my mother (also becoming monk) foresaw all the issues and distractions ppl might have so she highly suggests for everyone to breathe easily in a meditation position first, no phones, no nothing, just you and your breath… then once a few mins have passed and you are more relaxed and ready for meditation. Start it ♡♡♡
Start breathing in and out of your nose abit forcefully in a pattern, not too slow, not too fast, but a little fast ♡ loudly so u can hear your breathing- focus your mind and focus on your nostrils- like they are the gate or door to a house, (know when the cold air comes in- do ur best to not miss it! Every breath coming in, only IN because only when you have practiced meditation to a point where you dont miss any INs, then start knowing when air goes out of your nose as well ♡♡♡ REMEMBER dont follow the air going into your lungs, there shouldn’t be enough time for that, and only your stomach should be moving- your whole body should be still and relaxed and down ♡♡ your face, shoulders, body, legs, fingers, toes- no tension should be present ♡♡♡
Eyes must be closed because people get distracted easily- yes know when your thoughts come into your mind, then refocus back onto your nose ♡♡♡ ignore anything that is around you, nothing exist except for your breath ♡♡♡ your house, your room, your family, friends, phone, your body, the floor nothing exist at the moment except for your breathing ♡♡♡
Hope this helped!
I just did it for 5 minutes, first time, right? I completely lost myself, focused on just my breathing. I was so surprised when my timer went off, it felt like such a short time! I enjoy this 🙂
Just had my first 5 minute session, it’s very relaxing and also hard to keep the focus on my breath, but everytime my focus starting to stray I did my best to revert back to my breath. Just in the one session did I feel very relaxed and peaceful. I recommend meditation to anyone and I am definitely going to do this daily from now on. Thanks for the video man. 🙂
When i was having anxiety problems i got help and had a few months with sessions with a Psychologist, most important thing i learned and will never forget is to FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS AND DONT RUN AWAY FROM THEM. Running led me to a deep place so medidate so that u can actually feel what isnt going right with u and feel that emotion ( which will leed you to feeling great and confident trust me)
Wonderful advise Manuel
be aware and feel all anxiety symptoms physically and mentally to habituate to what you fear. habituate and building tolerance against that fear is the best way. dont run away. FACE YOUR FEAR AND BE AWARE THAT ALL YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE JUST BECAUSE OF ANXIETY DISORDER AND NOTHING ELSE.
Do u do just this breathing mindfulness meditation or are there others you recommend trying? I’m new to this and struggle with dealing w anxiety and emotions
What if you have too much emotions and maybe you wana put some away? Would meditation help?
Decided to try meditation after years of believing it was a bunch of bs. Recently got dumped by a girl I love, and it’s been eating away at me. The first session was alarmingly nice – it felt so wonderful to be at peace for just a couple minutes. Not worrying, or stressing, or feeling alone/empty inside. Just thinking about my breathing and being alone with myself. I’m hoping this will be the first thing I can commit myself to do daily because I want to hold onto that feeling. I strongly recommend it for anyone going through a rough patch in life with no idea what direction to go in.
I seem to be at the exact place rn… So how are you after a year?
@Wangdruk Dukpa interested in the reply too
“Meditation is very simple. It’s just the act of making it into a daily habit that is hard.” That makes so much sense to me.
Habit-building is hard in and of itself. This is exactly why you shouldn’t trust fortune-cookie tips.
You don’t have to do it everyday, do it for the benefits.
I wish everyone the happiest lives they could live. You deserve it. You’re worth something, don’t ever doubt it.
This video helped me out a lot. I just did 5 minutes. Tried to do 10 but i stopped because it felt like someone was creeping up on me. Setting a timer definitely helped and it seemed like time flew by. Thank you soooo much!
As someone whos meditated for a long time, I find it more optimal to meditate without an alarm. When your alarm rings you can subconsciously associate that ringing to mean you are permanently done meditating, which can result in you compartmentalizing meditation only to the instant when you practice. You are also shocked out of the session. Meditation should be something that you try and do all the time. I think it would be better to simply have a clock in front of you without the alarm. This way you are not shocked out of meditation, you peacefully transition out of it and you realize that you can meditate whenever you want without having to rely on an alarm.
That’s exactly what happened I was scared out of it I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind
The alarm trick is for beginners , this trick should be used for like a maximum of 1 week
This was very helpful, I just did this for 6 minutes and at the end it felt like I was slipping into deep meditation and the alarm startled me but my mind was blank the entire time just focusing on my breathing it felt so relaxing and peaceful
You basically experienced what monks call “blissfulness”. The relaxed calm, when you have no need to replenish your focus or your energy and can’t fall asleep, yet you still clear your mind to find your “happy place”.
I’m proud of the people improving their lives. Keep it up! 💙
Thank you
Thanks to this video, I just meditated for the first time. Those 5 minutes went pretty quick. The hardest part was keeping focus. My mind kept bringing up the worst parts of my life and I had to keep shifting back to my breathing.
I’ve been trying the mindfulness based meditation the past week. I’ve been doing it in bed with the light on at night and having my feet out in front of me because it’s more comfortable than sitting cross cross applesauce. I haven’t had any bad thoughts to witness without judgment yet and have mainly just focused on my breathing how it was said in this video. It’s definitely calming because I’m also belly breathing when I remember to. I’ll have to try it earlier in the day when I actually worry
Your description of focusing on the breath to develop ‘mindful awareness’ is one of the best I’ve heard. The ‘bridge’ you talk about – that little pause between inhaling and exhaling – is such a subtle but profound aspect of our breathing. I think focusing on this could be a game-changer for me. It feels like looking at an old, well-known painting from a new angle and noticing details you’d never seen before.
