The key to any meditation is observation. In the words of Krishnamurti, "the observer is the observed." Stay blessed everyone!
Russel is a comedian, he is a master in observation 😀
Russell spoke Ill of Krishnamurti- said he was crazy at the United Nations. Get to know the #Brand a bit better. Namaste! occultpriestess.wordpress.com/2019/06/26/russell-brand-mentors-in-recovery/
We love you Reyna

I discovered him on your POD 2 weeks ago and I got reacquainted with myself for the first time in my 47 years here on Earth. I spent the entire day, prob 12 hours and at least a few hours a day since just listening and being guided by this amazing soul named Mooji! :). My person-hood and ego are not in control ever anymore and that is the biggest gift ever, I only Live in gratitude, peace and love now and these words actually seem silly, they can never do this discovery justice. :). I Love you Russel for bringing him on, that conscious gesture, changed at least one life here! I'm still kind of on cloud 9 but with feet so firmly planted now! :). Much Love, Peace, Tranquility and continued self discovery for all of Human Kind.
beautiful!
that’s power! how beautiful
Sounds like a spiritual awakening there amazing stuff.
Beautiful. So happy for you 🥰
@@29tinx Thanks, always work to be done and vigilance becomes the norm, but it does become 100% effortless and a true joy! :). Many Blessings to you and yours. :)
Mooji is such a saintly BEing. A love that shines through his speech and grace.
We are fortunate to live in his time.
Mooji used to be a youth worker in London. Lucky kids - getting to play pool with him down the youth club.
I don't think I've ever felt anything like that before in my life. I don't know why but after it there's tears in my eyes and but I'm not sad at all. I feel at quite at peace, this is incredible.
I tried meditating before but not guided meditation, I'm going to do this every day from now on. Thank you Mooji and Russell.
I've transcribed the main part of this exercise to use with students I work with. Feel free to also use it (I've cleaned up areas that were a bit too conversational):
This is a very gentle exercise.
Just suppose that nothing exists but you. I know that sounds crazy but let’s try it. Suppose there was no world and no memory of a world, and so on. There was only yourself.
So, the attention did not have anything to go out towards and to talk about this and to talk about something from yesterday or some future. There’s only your being.
You’re only here. So, your attention has nothing to keep referring to apart from being aware of just being. Just here.
Anything about “how I was yesterday” or “how I want to be tomorrow or next week” is simply some kind of myth. All that really exists is right here, right now.
Let’s suppose that you could leave aside for a moment every idea that you have about who you are. Just for a short time. Just leave every description about yourself, your self-image and so on, just leave it aside for a moment. We’re not going to ask you to destroy that, just leave it aside, and when the exercise has finished we can reclaim whatever it is that you’re leaving aside for a moment. But really be earnest about it and say “whatever it is about myself, such as what I’ve done in my life” - let’s just not include that in this present moment. And “whatever I may want from something called the future - how I would like to see the world” let’s not engage with any thoughts about that.
Any desire, even for enlightenment, let’s just leave that aside for the moment. So, the past, your lineage, your background, the person you consider yourself to be, your relationships, your desires or aspirations for the world. All these things you’re going to leave, just be empty of them. And genuinely participate in this exercise.
Empty beyond even the idea or concept of emptiness, meaning not holding on to anything at all. Let’s imagine if everything you’ve learned or believe or think could somehow be taken out. Everything is taken out. There will remain here, whatever it is that this is, something that cannot be taken away. It’s just here. It’s not an object, it cannot be removed. Take everything that you have learned, everything that you’ve experienced, everything that you could desire, just take it out. So you are totally empty of any content, memory, past, future, desire, even for enlightenment. And you are simply here. You are aware that what I am calling you now, even your personality, the sense of personhood, your rights, whatever self-descriptions, everything you will suspend for a while.
And I’m asking you to do this so that I can ask you just a few questions which are yes or no answers. Very very simply. If you have come so far to leave these things aside.
1. That which is “here” now, which remains, which cannot be taken away, whatever it is, is it an object of any form at all?
2. If everything could be left aside, this which cannot be taken out, does it have any shape or form or design at all?
3. What about, could you say that there could be a boundary beyond which this does not exist?
4. Can this, whatever it is, become depressed or addicted to anything or become sick?
5. Can it be for or against anyone? Can it take sides with anyone at all?
6. Are you creating this? Or are you imagining this at all?
7. Can this, whatever it is, fade?
8. Was it created or born?
9. Can it perish, die or end?
10. It is a philosophy?
11. Can what we call “mind” exist apart from or independent of this? Outside of this?
12. How close are you to it? Is there any distance that separates your natural sense of being from this?
13. So therefore, would it be unreasonable to say that if all your answers are as they have been, could we deduce that all these answers are about you? What you are? Uncreated, not merely an object. Cannot become sick or depressed or become addicted to anything at all. It cannot fade. There are no natural boundaries beyond which it ceases to exist. It is not merely a philosophy or a belief system. That it was not born, you did not imagine it and that it cannot die.
14. Could you say that it’s just a feeling that you’re having?
15. If all these things are so, then what you are confirming is your own true self.
16. If this conversation should continue in whatever form, will it make a difference to this which is?
17. Is this in waiting for something to happen?
So that is it. You can have this direct recognition and that is here irrespective of what is playing within the field that we call the mind.
Thank you
Thank you so much for the transcript
This is wonderful. Thank you
Awesome job! Thank you!
Yes! Thank you!!!!
Super grateful for this Russel and Mooji 🙏 Who else is ready to raise our vibration level with this meditation?

it’s nice to heal after a long day at work… Sending everyone who sees this positive energy, stay safe :)
You also unio🙏❤
Peace be with you
Back at you mate.
Was great until ad Ad came on 😑
🙏 have a bless day
No adds on this anymore! Thank you 🙏
Mooji has been my Guru for almost 10 years now and he is cherished by many. Im grateful for you bringing him to more people worldwide ❤ I hope this brings more to his pointings and awareness of love & oneness that this world needs so badly. I love you my Sri Mooji and thank you thank you thank you 💋
I feel like I have such a long way to go in my spiritual journey, so many of these questions I didn't know what my answer was, and that last question made me cry, because I felt like the resounding answer for myself, was "so, so far away.. I don't feel close to this, whatever is left, at all. In fact, I didn't feel like I could say that what was left after leaving everything outside of myself, was remotely close at all... And that was such a sad, lonely and hollow feeling. But it also was an eye opener for me, because it really drove home the fact that I need to get clean from drugs, and do a lot of healing and get the heck out of myself and my comfort zone and get to a place where most of my life isn't dictated by drugs...
I got teary-eyed after some of those "no", such a beautiful meditation. Thank you for this 🙏
Me too I thought it was just me
🙏🏻 thank you mooji , the sound of your voice has such a calming tone to it .
Sending Love to everyone especially those close to me in the wildfires 🙏🏻🇺🇸California
the antifa ones ?
I meditated on this for quite a while tonight
Dave Dublin no definitely not
I literally got teary eyed, out of every meditation I’ve done the way he described removing everything else and establishing that true self, worked so amazingly, I’ve never experienced that with that kind of depth. Wow.
You really should attend one of his retreats in Rishikesh, India or Lisbon. You will never be the same again!
Thank you in all sincerity Russel for this meditative experience with Mooji. Deeply appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Honestly, there’s no point in even having this up, Russell, if it’s going to have ads every 5 mins. I felt like I was there, alone, until I was joined by the advertisers who I already have at the front of my consciousness constantly.
Otherwise, lovely meditation.
This is the the first time I've clicked on one of your meditation videos, and I just want to say thanks. I didn't realize how much I needed that.
Thank goodness
no ad's on my feed! Please give us more of this.
I know this was from a year ago, but congrats RB on having over 5 million followers. And thank you for all the beautiful practices you have brought to me.
Russell I love you so much!!!!! I really appreciated watching you experience meditation, I saw you soften and drop in. It was quite a humbling experience for me. Its like I witnessed the soft young boy essence of you. So sweet. Thank you Mooji for your gentle guidance. You are love!
Thanks again Russ, I did the same and closed my eyes and listened and by the end, felt much more grounded, having remembered that a meditation today was well needed. Thanks to you both for today's vid. Peace, Love, and Blessings
This was my first meditation with Russell and/or Mooji. I am feeling very satisfired with the results I received from this simple, yet not so simple, meditation. Thank you!
Never heard a meditation like this before. It’s a reminder of coming home 💛
3 minutes in and I was in tears...I’m going to have to loop this
Wow! The most amazing guidance I have ever heard. Impossible to forget ty so much x
This was great. I didn’t expect to cry like I did. Thank you
The observer of true self coming from the place of stillness.....such a devine healing energy thankyou ✨ 🙏
All I felt was Love. Thank you Russell, I really needed this right now💖🇨🇦💖
Beautiful! Thank you💚
Know and have FAITH in your deepest heart that we are exactly where we are supposed to be and that we are headed exactly where we need to be. Open your sacred heart chakra and practice unconditional love, that is what we are at THE CORE. And operating from that core space will NEVER FAIL YOU. May love, peace, happiness, health, and abundance be upon us all💚💚💚
Mooji sounds like a delicious name for a chocolate coated treat that you might purchase in the candy section of a convenience store. May we soon see this suggestion brought to reality and may the chocolaty treats be both nutritious, and affordably priced for children on their bicycles riding home from a long day at school.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Russell and Mooji!
Thank you. It helped me a lot, I thought I was struggling with my studies and then I meditated and I realised I’m not. thank you Russel and mooji.
Mooji is a life saver. Helped my depression when nothing else worked.
Thank you Russell for having so many awesome guests. Meditation 🧘♀️ saves lives 🧘🏽😎❤️🧡💛💚💙🤎🤍🖤💜

Glad I watched this on Mooji’s channel...ad free. That was an amazing experience. So I had to come on over and see Russell’s channel as well.
I was just thinking about checking his channel for an ad free version.
Moogi thank you so much! That was wonderful and thank you Russell.
I felt so happy like I came home. I'm now very calm. Thankyou
Beautiful meditation, thank you 🙏💚
Full of colorful waves and full awareness of oneness 💚
I have to wonder if the comments are edited. Mr.Brand you are fantastic and a light in this world, I would strongly recommend you do some research on Mooji - I would recommend watching David Godman,s interviews with Rick Archer. Oral Roberts and Jimmy Swagger have/had legions of adoring fans also. If I said what I really think of Mooooooji he would have his team of lawyers after me like he has so many others. Thank you for your humour and contributions to "Humanity" P.S. if Ramana Maharshi saw what Mooji was doing he would never stop throwing up! (If he was the body/mind of course)

That was simply lovely. Thank you for this beautiful upload 🙏
This is Amazing, very Cleansing and Healing. I saw a Vision of my True Self I had never seen before.
Once you learn to not be annoyed by the adverts, then you are truely enlightened :)
I feel Mr. Rusell Brand has done the practice! Thanks for your example
Man thank you for this one I have been into mooji for a few years now and the way you were able to have him him open up to us really put things into a place of understanding 12:50
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this. Iam truly entering into the age of Aquarius. A different form in the everlasting, good and true existence. The Universe works through you.
❤️
It's too bad about the Ads. But this was a wonderful experience. Thank you to Mooji and Russell.
You changed my life Russel brand when you introduced me to Mooji Baba
Thanks a million for that 🙏🙏🙏
I love your videos. They help me get ready for the day ahead. Sending love your way.
The experience was so wonderful that not even the ads swayed me!
I love guided meditations, I loved this guided meditation and I love making my own.. generally making subliminal affirmation or healing frequency videos ♥️💎
Blessings 🙏🙏
Incredible. Thank you Mooji
This is an interesting twist on just my normal goals towards meditation. Truly fascinating.
Thank you very, very much! I am so happy and peaveful now that I cant explain. I wish this experience to all.
Anyone else just LOVE Russell’s personality?!😍😃
So glad I found Mooji years ago. Wonderful. Drop your story/personality, your path, your past, your future plans - what is left? What remains that cannot be dropped/removed? See more of Mooji teachings on youtube. Eckhart Tolle also.
Fabulous thankyou mooji and Russell 👍 much love x
Two of my favorite people, floating in the space. Thank you for this. I forgot who i was.
Thank you Russell and Mooji. This was beautiful 🍀🍃🌿
Thank you Russel- this video changed my life....
Wow. Great guided meditation. Like a mainline straight into the zone
This is the only space from whish the great deceit thats tryin’ to take over the world right now, can really be seen… So this we need to spread🙏🏻😌
So important for humanity at this moment. Why on earth would you put ads right in the middle of this powerful exercise? Please put them at the beginning if you must have them. This is too important. Thank you!
I love what you are doing now Russell. And love mooji. I want to attend a Satsang. 🙏
Feel this shows something bout Russell's progress. I valued the shade of my closed eyes which held some intonations of form while noting I was construing awareness methodically,mentally
❤❤❤Hello. I make interesting content, Check out my work. Have a good night❤❤❤
I felt the same way. I'm just beginning my journey of enlightenment, and my conscious mind wouldn't allow me to let go. I felt relaxed, but couldn't let go of seeing my body, being on a tropical beach, and my awareness was battling to reframe ("Oh, right, let go. No clothes because that's holding on to identity. Oh that island in the distance of my mind shouldn't be there because that's not letting go so remove that. Oh, no, now I'm editorializing. Need to stop doing that." My conscious mind was trying to drive the car towards enlightenment through analysis. That's how I live my life, what I'm trying to let go of, and an important realization in itself.
Brilliant left me in tears 😭
I hope, your creator, whatever name you may give it to, is the pivot of the meditation! God bless!
Both Mooji and Russell are just lovely human beings.
"Are you imaginging this?" ...."no"..........................no ???? ....YES !!!!.....ABSOLUTELY !........
Wow. That was incredible.... until I flew out of my skin due to the startling ads. Love you Russell, don't love the jump scares.
Beautiful to share. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love his voice. Great exercise.
Ad blocker folks!
I came out of that meditation with tears down my face and had no idea until it was over. How profound!
How do we do the ad blocker?
@@energization it's an app you can use on your browser.
An actor like no other. It was a pleasure👌👍❤🙏
thank you, thank you, thank you - really touched my heart, beautiful
Lovely images my mind created I will always be able to access and view as I close my eyes. Beautiful
I felt like all that was left from me was an attention, a focus. A focus whats function is to concentrate. To concentrate on anything - material or unmaterial, good or bad. And this concentration makes things appear, exist.
Self realization is like looking for yr glasses yr whole life and one day realizing they have been on yr head the whole time
Lovely both!! Blessing and thanks from spain
Please Russell! It's a guided meditation let it be and let it play! ❤️
Gold,,, thank you for this nugget 😊❤️🌻✨🌈🦋
❤❤❤Hello. I make interesting content, Check out my work. Have a good night❤❤❤
Right in the middle of this beautiful meditation a blaring ad came in from Amazon...wow...brutal
2 adverts in the MIDDLE of the meditation. One a 20 second one that cannot be skipped. This is the last meditation I'll be watching on this channel
I am thoroughly digging your content! Thank you. ☮❤🙂🎶
This meditation has stayed with me.
gotta love those mid-meditation ads...They add a lovely "advanced practice" element...
Russell, this guided meditation, which at the time i found exhilarating, bowled me over. I was happy to have found a spiritual teacher and the timing was right for me.
Nearly two months down the line listening to Mooji on you tube and my son comes to me saying, "mum, he's a cult leader" i kinda poo pooed the idea until he started reading stories to me from people's experiences at Mooji's satsang. Have spent the entire day researching the accusations and they seem to be true. There's quite a bit online, facebook groups dedicated to mooji, speaking their truth of what they saw and experienced staying with him, it's pretty damaging stuff.
Am gutted, there's no denying that this meditation is helpful and it certainly helped me but from the testimony s I've read he isn't the man he appears to be. Truly gutted.
That's because when you put your faith in any human, you will be disappointed. Humans are all created by God and are created in a state of weakness and forgetfulness, and as such prone to err. That is why God sent down prophets and messengers as examples and teachers of His word and the straight path. When you try to create 'a way' or a 'practice' taking God out of the equation, you can never attain true peace. God knows what we need better than we do and what will bring us true rest. We are not simply beings of light floating in the ether without purpose. We are here for a finite period of time with a purpose. That purpose is to know and worship our Maker, the Creator of the heavens and earth and all that is. To be the best version of ourselves and exemplary humanitarians serving His creation. Enjoining good and challenging wrongdoing. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and all the prophets from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jesus (peace be upon them all), was the seal of the prophets. Following the example of the prophets will never lead you astray and will lead to siratul mustaqeem 'the upright/straight path. We have been created by God, we have purpose, we were designed to worship which is why there is such an intense desire in humans to be 'followers' but when we idolise anything created being (entertainers, celebrities, spiritual gurus, sports stars etc ) we put our faith in a human that was never designed to be worshipped and is in themselves in need.
True rest will only ever be attained in the refuge and safety of our Source, with the most sublime communion with God and when we surrender to Him. Everything else will leave us with a sense of incompleteness. This is beautifully articulated in the talk by Linda Salima, True Rest
@@smillailyas3974 i feel you've misinterpreted my reply
* not reply, rather comment
My points still stands. Mental health issues are rampant because no amount of meditating can bring true peace when it is done in isolation of the bigger picture. We were not created without purpose.
The human soul will be in a state of flux because it is longing to return to its Source. The separation from our Creator when we are in this physical existence creates the longing for reunion. When you have a jigsaw puzzle with even one missing piece, it will be incomplete, and regardless of how beautiful the picture is, without that missing piece, there will be a sense of loss.
Anyway, wishing you peace and blessings in your walking on the spiritual path. You know pain and hardship cannot be avoided in this journey. In the final Quranic revelations, God emphasises 'You will certainly, most definitely (basically a double emphasis) be tested by any of the following: death, fear, loss, hunger, fruits of your labour (things not turning out how you want after you've put in all the effort) but those who hold tight to God with patient perseverance (spiritual fortitude/trust in God's grace and prayers, will attain success. We can't avoid trials/tribulations, as much as we want to create heaven on earth. Toil and anguish will only cease once we return Home in the Light and presence of our Lord and Creator.
Whatever we accept, deny or choose to live by in this transitory journey, we are already all on the way towards physical death as soon as we are born. Death can occur at any time and time is measured in the breath. Death does not discriminate and comes at any age, cannot be controlled. So it's a case of being prepared and understanding our purpose will help us in our journey. God promises to respond to all who call on Him so if you seek truth, pray and ask for guidance on His Truth. Truth is universal. Spiritual truths are universal. Rick Warren's ted talk on finding purpose was profound and worth a listen. Ok wishing everyone peace.
@@smillailyas3974 Have a great weekend 😀
Whhhhhhyyy!!!!! Freaking ad snapped me out of the what is😩
Unbelievable he has ads during a meditation! Surely an oversight.. I will give him the ad revenue to remove them.
Soooo relaxing Thanks Russ ❤️💥
dude, I love you buddy. I will admit, I was never really into the roles you've taken on in movies... But I get it now, and you are most definitely one of my "idols"... I say that loosely because it's an encompassing term that defines really looking to improve one self on an internal bases.. And imply a standard by simply being it yourself. Though I do find much of your content disturbing, I don't feel LIED to... I really don't know how to say thank you in any magnitude that really speaks to the way I feel. I love ya buddy, you are on my favorite person list..
Thanks for the moment, Russel!
Off-topic: I think it'd be epic if you'd do a reading of Jabberwocky!
I love this exercise. Thank you
Just beautiful! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I met Mooji in 2017. This being is so wonderful. Check out his Thank you meditation.
Mooji's voice and attitude is so relaxing in itself :) Nice meditation, will use it for later. I agree with all you said except the part about being born and eventually die. Everything in the universe has been born and will die.
❤❤❤Hello. I make interesting content, Check out my work. Have a good night❤❤❤
While it's true that everything in the physical universe has a beginning and an end, Mooji is pointing to something metaphysical; timeless & eternal.
@@Ottee2 Yes, you're right. But does the idea of eternity exist in us when meditating, or at other times, because we are alive and conscious, or does it die with us?
@@ninnithecat , I hold that Consciousness is primary and substantial. Any God, selves, or objects, whatsoever, are secondary and insubstantial. As humans, we experience a toned down or distorted version of dual consciousness. Which is a good thing because we would not be able to handle the full force of Light of pure Consciousness. When we die, from the perspective of pure Consciousness, it never happened. Our lives have all the substantiality of a dream. Don't know if this answered your question.
"Empty your mind of thoughts...."
Bang!!!! - are your teeth yellow you need this teeth whitening toothpaste.. 😵🤯 scared me to death. Stupid ads.
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing. I have much-needed space in me 💚🙏
Nice, so cool to see you talk with Mooji !
