- Normally, we think feeling tired, bored, or dull is useless. But now you can make friends with
them, and they can become quite beneficial for meditation. In this video, Mingyur Rinpoche instructs us on how to meditate while sleeping. He describes the process of having awareness as you are falling asleep and how this awareness continues in the sleeping state.

he is so adorable,, “me not you”!!!!
Haha I was about to do what he's doing just when he said "me. Not you!" And I laughed and just watched him. useful video 👍
So right
Yeah, he is so adorable and funny.
He is so,, normal,, like a neighbor
How condescending to call an adult male adorable.
When I was in school, I had done this type of meditation during lectures
Ha ha ha
LOL, get out of here or keep doing what you had been doing in school.
No joke buddy
We all did classes teach u automatically 😂😂
They rightfully say that we learn everything in school
What a lovable guy. He doesn't take himself so seriously that he can't joke around and have fun when teaching, but still maintains an aura of such dignity.
He is a Tibet Buddhist monk famously know for the meditation all over the world.
yes! i aspire to be like him!
he seems to naturally cause people to smile and learn towards him and to listen. Wisdom, humility and a sense of gentleness and a sense of humour and happiness.
Well if he took himself seriously it means "a lot of ego". It would be an indication he isnt a monk.
This is the « enlightenment». The sence of superiority, you often see in alot of gurus is from their inate narcissism. That is they feel a need to protect their « self image».
This man has no ego to protect, and has the ability to empatise with others. So his humor and good nature makes others come to him for wisdom. But it never came easy to him, in his book « in love with the world» he talk about his anxity and struggle as a young man on his path to become a munk. And the pressure he feelt, from beeing a descendent from a lineage of patriarcal Munks in Tibet
This is the closest thing to a Jedi we will ever get
I finished your Book,In Love with the World just yesterday and I was really trying to look out for a video or tutorial on how to do sleep meditation. Today is my birthday and I received this video as Gift.
Happy Birthday!
How lucky.
happy birthday stranger!
Happy Birthday .......

Thank you so much what a lovely comment sending positive vibes back to you from Liverpool England 💫💫💫
Thank you so much i really needed this right now
@@stp4341 ❤️
This is something new, I really appreciate him making these kinds of videos. Even though I mostly procrastinate but eventually I come back and take 1 Hour daily for his soothing voice which helps greatly in being in state of Meditation!
He is like the reincarnation of master yoda, i love it !!
Correction, master yoda is reincarnation of him 😜
I accidentally fallen sleep while meditating in the evening, I felt really good and so fresh when I woke up! I think it works. Great work!
Literally : Jedi Master Mingyur Rinpoche :)
I THOUGHT THE SAME 😂💙
Thank you so much, Rinpoche!!!!! 💖💖💖
I love how the subtitles read „meditation“ at one point.
I'm not sure it's intentional but I find him hilarious (in a good way I mean).
I love his humor!
Yes he has a great sense of humour!!
Could you tell me where your profile pic is from? It's an anime right?
@@brianlittrell797 it's from a computer game called Nier Automata. The picture is of the main character in the game called 2B. :)
@@cad3nce My intuition is telling me it's a very good game and my type of game. Thanks.
Everyone please! Now don’t go around telling your friends you meditate for 8 hours daily. :)
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO SIR 💓🙏
Please someone else tell me they imagined him in a basket on the front of a bicycle
🤣🤣🤣🙏🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - ET go home!
No... But now. You're absolutely right☺️
👽 🤣🤣🤣
😝
Great imagination 😂😂😂
I actually wouldn't be surprised he he actually felt sleepy, as he is so relaxed and calm all the time. Don't be offended by no means am I saying that he is lazy, I just admire him so much
Somehow I doubt it, there is some data showing long-term meditators have shorter (more efficient) sleep cycles. He probably needs less sleep and still has more energy than most. I think the association between calmness and sleepiness arises from the fact that most people with modern lifestyles are chronically sleep-deprived; as soon as they start to slow down, the fatigue begins to catch up.
Sleep is basically a biological mechanism to heal from the damage you incur from wakefulness. The more you meditate, the less of this damage you incur, because there is significantly less self-related drama.
@@Milkshakman hahaha self related drama， what a great way to put it！
Yes relaxed and calm which is very interesting when you read about his debilitating anxiety and panic attacks when he was younger. Living proof of the benefits of meditation for mental health problems
You're absolutely right sir! Regular meditators have this ability to attain the state of meditation anytime-anywhere, as they are always relaxed...!
@@Milkshakman Yes you are right even I've read so about it. They sleep around 4-5 hours a day which are plenty enough as they are highly efficient and enough for them to recover and function properly. He must be pretty busy tho. I read somewhere that he frequently travels to do meditation sittings across the world. Must be traveling more than 20 hours a week. Meditation must help cope him with all the jetlag!
Thanks for all of your meditation tutorials Rinpoche. You're motivating me to meditate, thanks for your service to the humanity.
3:00 he knows me so well... my mind always drifts to pizza O.o
i think that is what he said too.. did he say mind goes to pizza?
@@jesp999 that's what I heard too
I understood "when your mind goes to peace out"
Mine to nuggets 😂😂
I wish you all reading this, a moment of clarity in your thoughts, peace around you and a good health. May the humanity care more about life!
Venerable Rinpoche la.. I bow down three time with respect and pray that I will be one of your many students in future who will spread the light and Buddha dharma..May all sentient beings free from suffering... Om Mani Padme hu 🧎🏻🧎🏻🧎🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sometimes it's like this (10%), sometimes it's just a blackout (90%). When you manage to maintain your awareness, it feels like one part of your brain is functioning while other parts are sleeping and I can get what happened only retrospectively. Like wow, I was conscious and sleeping at the same time.
That has happened to me today during a nap. Alert to the surroundings yet dreaming and resting.
Did you sit upright like him in order to do this?
@@studentofspacetime No, I was sitting and my head between my arms, bowed down against the table. I'm not sure it's exactly the same phenomenon but it felt the same
@@lauracrimsonmusic I see. Thing is, I find it hard to stay aware while lying down, I just suddenly black out. On the other hand, sitting like Mingyur Rinpoche makes it hard to fall asleep at all.
@@studentofspacetime no, usually this happens when I am doing my favorite part of yoga, which is shavasana :) I never have managed to do the same staying upright.
Thanks maharaj ji
Thank you Mingyur Rinpoche! 💙 Your channel is a valued part of CZcams and we're lucky to have you here.
If I want to do sittingmeditation, I always do walking meditation before, it gives me more energy
and I never feel in sleep again. It helps me a lot.
He's just so cute, just watching him and hearing his soothing voice is no less than a meditation to me~💓
I just love that he is always in a state of joy !
A true blessing 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank u so much for sharing ... for the past 2 months i have also been curious about sleep meditation...
Beautifully u explained...thank you sir👌👌👌🙏
Thank you so much, I've been trying to find out why I tend to fall asleep when meditating. I also felt that I was asleep.
Oh. THANKYOU
Very very thankful for the information
This is great! 💜👍
Thank you, when I uncontrollably slept during the course of listening to Mahavatar Babaji's mantra video, I felt I lost my meditation. But you made me happy. I really had nice sleep but I don't remember what I saw in my dream while sleeping.
Thank you❤
This is a great skill that we really want to master, because it will prepare us during the dying process, so we can avoid the next reincarnation.
Thanks Thanks 🙏🏻 for the advice it is Literally Life changing 😊😭
thank you.
This video also triggered my ASMR. Very nice
My guru.
I love ALL OF YOU so soo sooo much. Have no Fear.
I really, really enjoy your teachings...I'm christian, follower of Jesus and combined with your teachings in this times and in a city like New York, I feel truly bless..🙏 😭 thank you
This resonates with my experience ("pizza" is really strong very often though). Thank you for kindful explanation. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow.. never thought about that concept with sleep. 👏🙏🙏🙏
Ah ok, this is something new. Thank you 🙏🏻
In due an operation tomoz and this helped me to sleep so I thank you 💗
Thanks, 🙏
Just wanted to stop by and tell the person who is reading this that they are amazing and can do amazing things in this world and no mater what happens/happened it will be OK🙏🙂
Great performance for doing initial meditation process guru we need more logistics steps ....
Om maney padme hum🙏🙏🙏
mmmh good idea maybe I should try to meditate myself into sleep.. It always takes more than a hour for me to fall asleep... And it takes so much time for my mind and body to calm down .. Thanks for this video.. I really like your simple way of explaining :)
Just what I was needed ! This time I am having a lot of nightmares, maybe this practice could help before sleeping. Thanks a lot!
it could help, but i would personnaly record these nightmares to be able to identify their differences to real life, and then tell myself to identify these differences before bed, and if you are able to identify them inside a nightmare you can realise you are dreaming and wake yourself up, or explore your dream world.
Although i would recommend doing a reality check like pinching your nose and trying to breathe to see if it truly is a dream. btw it's called lucid dreaming
and also, did the practice help? it's been 2 years
Goodness!!! I love this guy. Subscribing 😊
I closed my eyes
You failed
Excellent! I have type 1 diabetes; if my blood glucose is high and I'm trying to meditate, it's like I am asleep. Or I feel like sleeping. Sometimes, I think I have had a really good meditation. Then I find out my glucose is high, and I feel disappointed. This video really helps!
Thanks
I was feeling so sleepy while doing meditation and trying to avoid sleeping maybe try next time for sleep to catch me in the meditation state..thank you la 🙏
OM gurudevaya namaha
Lol. So funny at times. Thank you for this meditation advice. Just what I need. Will try now. Zzzzzz
Right on.
Oh wow that's great.
Oh my God, I wish I knew this earlier...
Very nice explaination and technique
