Video

2:55 - i have a question, not being able to keep the focus on the sensation for long, for example 5 second, can keep happening also at the level that you are at? i want to know that to accept myself better in those moment and also to have some metric for progress... thanks in advance!

So ‘masculine’ can’t be ‘compassionate’? Really appreciated the video but this critique of ‘Waking Up’ really grated. 🤷‍♂️

He just has clothes? Whats the purpose of a minimal wardrobe if this wardrobe doesnt support the way u want to present yourself to the world.

I’m not sure exactly when I first saw this video, maybe almost 2 years ago but I keep coming back to it every so often. Your straight talking, blunt approach is a welcome change from most other minimalism videos. Addressing the backlash from family and friends in such an honest way was particularly helpful. I also like the part about taking responsibility for our things and the link to our egos. Very useful video, thank you.

Would it be fair to say that the thinking mind is "loud" like 110% but thinking is really a sensation like any other? Because of the "loudness" it feels like the ego/thought is primary? That is, we're fundamentally the world/experience but since the ego/thought is so incessant and intrusive things appear like sensation are in service/subordinate to the ego? I wouldn't say the sensation of an itch is me, then can I confidently say that a thought I'm experiencing isn't me? If this is true, how then when I'm not meditating, the talking watching interactive me still feels like it's "primary". Or do I need to recalibrate and see this too as just another experience? NOTE: I'm a faithful user of the waking up app and I find it incredibly frustrating when Sam snaps his finger. It's a bit demoralizing as I'm a long time user of his app and I have yet to experience or recognize non-dual nature. Totally get your snapping finger reference and thought it funny.

La dernière chose dont j'aurais envie dans un tel décor c'est écouter de la musique. No need to, just de sound of the Wind, water...

When I can't subscribe let me know. I like learning new things

Does thinking about the thing that you're meditating on count as thoughts or awareness? Like, if I imagine the bird that's chirping or if I wonder what material your ring is made of--am I meditating or getting distracted?

thankyouu

i used to do that kaleidoscope kinda thing. i'd let images and scenes just morph about while not being invested...just observing random things that pop in my head as kind of an overseer. i ended up lucid dreaming a lot from that though and had an awful experience lol. anymore i kinda basically just focus on the "blackness" from having my eyes closed and just push out thoughts that enter and refocus on the black behind my eyes lol. works so i just go with it. i'm gonna try that visualizing a nice space though!

Thanks you very much 🙏💚

It is easy for men to wear black all week I like colours and wear depending my moods

Permit me to suggest to take a beat before going on to the next type of meditation 📿🙏🌷♥️

I'm not getting rid of my hobbies tho. Pistol, Yugioh cards, bow, guitar etc

What country is it?

What about the emotional part of throwing things from your childhood away?

Thank you for your contributions to reducing confusion over this concept. One thing I believe that is missing from the “look for the looker” instruction is context- in what sense are we supposed to? Those who haven’t had a moment of awakening could be confused, and believe it’s meant spiritually or as an instruction to imagine headlessness etc. When in fact it is an instruction to help you notice firsthand the reality of the subjective experience. To that end, I appreciate that you don’t attempt to assert that the subjective conscious experience is definitely the only reality that exists. So many get hung up parroting this assertion without understanding what it truly means. Again, thanks

I think so many of us millenials have grown up in overcluttered houses by parents of the boomer generation who are massive hoarders (because they were deprived as children) that we ended up detesting stuff.

I love this review. Thank you. I am also a fan of balance

Thank you so much for addressing my question so comprehensively in your video. Your insights have provided valuable perspectives that I will certainly apply to my practice. Regarding my meditation practice, it is based on Lama Lena's live online teachings on "The three words of Garab Dorje" .

Thank you so much for this video, it has really helped me out and I really appreciate it!

You’re the first person (and I’m addicted to minimalists videos) that has described sentimental things the way you do. It’s very insightful and profound. Thank you. If you wrote a book, I would buy it… especially if you recorded your own audio because your voice is soothing.

Hello , I hope you are doing well. Lately, one of the seemingly biggest hurdles which I have been personally been facing during practice is that of - boredom and dullness. This automatically disincentivises me from following my daily meditation routine . Is their something that I am doing wrong or is it just plain laziness and lack of discipline on my end. Kindly advise upon how you deal with monotony if at all you face it .

Which is the best meditation app to help focus and concentration

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

I applaud your stomach. I’ve always mixed it with my baked chicken so one day i decided to try “golden Milk” and it tasted like chicken flavor milk 😂 I’ll stick to spicing it on my chicken.

does it help? i actually found the Mediterranean diet by googling "diet that's good for inflammation." i have awful reflux and had to take nexium everyday or i'd choke on food. that's gone (mostly) and i don't take nexium but once every other week or so now instead of daily. i don't even follow the diet 100% but i've cut out most processed foods and i eat out probably once a week now. feel like a different person. my joints still hurt at 40, but i started yoga and that seems to be helping maybe? 2 weeks into that. i ended up buying a year of the waking up app. i'm like 2 weeks in. i like it. some of his ideas seem wild to me, but trying to keep an open mind even if i don't agree with everything he says all the time lol. oh, and i tried out a sensory deprivation float tank, that was defintely cool! pricey though so probably won't do it again lol. good luck on whatever you're trying to achieve here!

Thats great man. You are my favorite channel from New Zealand! Wish you uploaded more! But steady wins the race

I know calm subscriptions is high but any can download calm mod apk has access to all content

I assume it would be hard to have jst 15 items in ur wardrobe here haha

I wish I worked at a job that allowed me to have this wardrobe :) Unfortunately, not practical for everyone :(

It depends on multiple factors I guess. I calculate my number of clothes based on how often I do laundry + the time it takes for it to dry. So, if I do laundry once per week, I will own 9 T shirts (to have 2 to use while the others dry out) and 5 long shirts (I wear long shirts twice in a row as they are usually worn in the winter, which is a time I don't sweat much at during the day.)

Can you review mindspa synctuition?

Appreciated! Thanks

Really good explanation video appreciate it ☺️🙏🏾

My daughter in law lost all four grandparents in less than a year...it took another 8 or 9 months for the family to go through the hoards of stuff and clean the homes out to be sold. Very sad, but also very overwhelming, it made me realize that I don't want to put all of my stuff on my family and im steadily trying to minimize my possessions now.

Every decision we believe we make is actually only the response to the greatest influencers in our life and before it.

Seemed more about showing benefits of NFW but little about why…

Please re-record in stereo. The audio is super hard to understand. Thank you.
