    Thanks Yongey. I started meditation last week. I had a safety incident at work due to a complete loss of concentration for 20 seconds. This was like a wake up call for me to change, to stop reading negative news daily, to stop living on my phone in my free time, always looking for things to buy, to stop overthinking, which for me is saturated. I'm listening to you and Thich nahn han. 🙏

      May I suggest mixing in a little Ram Dass, if you find him to your liking? His words mix well in my mind with YMR's and TNH's. Wishing you peace and safety!

    Thank you for this. I've been practicing various forms of mindfulness mediation for nearly 15 years. I also have ADHD. When I started practicing, I tried to focus very intensely and narrowly on the breath. Over time, I found that relaxing the focus, as described in this video, actually resulted in more stability and less reactivity because I wasn't struggling so hard with my thoughts, feelings, and other "distractions." Now, I try to bring a kind of open, spacious awareness to everything I do and I find that this actually helps to improve my level of focus, more than effortful narrow focus ever did.

    I've been meditating, admittedly not on a daily basis, for quite some time, and after all that practice and many videos I've watched online regarding the meditation and Buddhism in general, this is first time, after a long time, that I hear some truly new information that I haven't heard before.
    Unfortunately I can't afford your online course, but well, thank you for sharing this information, I'll do my best to make it part of my meditation practice.

    I don't know how, but it just made sense to me right now, that I was always trying to delete my thoughts and then was focused to much on them. I haven't been watching lots of meditational videos anymore but somehow after I hear them talk, I tried breathing and accept whatever I'll be facing. I somehow was able to get into the mindset of just don't care anymore and, that I am just trying to be and then the freedom may or may not come to me naturally. Wow, this really took forever for me to understand

    This is a game changer concept, I get it now. Even I felt a rush of unsteadiness and the tunnel vision when I was doing meditation just to search for peace, the more I searched for it the harder it became. It was when I let go of that search and started focusing on breathing alone, thoughts and emotions came out and I accepted everything I felt without judgement and that's when I found peace. Thanks a lot for sharing this wisdom. This helped me a lot!

    I appreciate the effort that you are putting to film this videos. I've never asked to anyone about this, and I've never had a teacher itself but words of your friend when he tells his story about getting angry when trying to focus and meditate and that it was only making him angry made me write down this message, question. I remember almost 5 years ago I thought I will learn how to meditate and through 1.5 year I tried lot of things to get in state of calmness or meditation but I only made me desperate, I remember the feeling how angry I was because I could find meditation state in myself. One day I remember I got home from university so angry so tired, thinkinh every day from morning to evening to learn meditation.
    I was feeling that I lost interest to this I did not want neither meditation not myself, not friends, not family not studying, I would even say not even to live. I lied on my bed with no desire with no purpose and that was the moment when I felt myself enormously big, body feeling was kind of far away from where i was watching. I remember I felt myself as an enormous stilness, seeing that form of my body was dissolving and precise feeling I've always been there even before my body was created. This experience lasted for almost 3 hours and theoritically I remember that trying to seek yourself is like to try to find your physycall face without a mirror but even tough I remember that and I've never had a chance the get experience as pleasant and big as was that. I would be really grateful if you could reply to me how I will be able to clarify, to fully transform my actions into that. Thank you in advance and sorry for my english😅

    An interesting and timely discussion for me. I have meditated much of my life and used to find it easier than I do now and I don't understand why its getting harder! I simply cannot focus very well any more and I'm wondering if it's time to change the way I meditate and perhaps shift to more of an 'awareness' style as you seem to be discussing here and perhaps also try and just be in a mindful state more often during the day rather than only focusing on the formal meditation time in the mornings.

  • @HS-ki3sx
    @HS-ki3sx Před rokem

    Just like Bhante, the focusing on the breath part is so restrictive and effortful for me. But for beginners, focus on the breath is what is taught first. I find what YMR says, “being with the phenomena as it,” much easier (or am i just spacing out?) 😝
    What is also easier for me is focusing on an outside phenomenon, like a burning incense stick, etc.
    But i have been told, “you must begin with the breath!” Is awareness meditation only for those practitioners who have developed some stability? Absolutely out if bound for beginners?

  • @hear-and-know

    Is it true that mahamudra can only be learned with a teacher? And if so, why? Can a book teach it? "The song of mahamudra" really gives me some insight - meditating like that I get a deep spacious peace, but I don't know if my experience is what people call mahamudra.
    Concentration-type meditation indeed makes me angry. I feel most "elevated" through metta, or open practice such as do-nothing meditation. Mahamudra sounds like my thing. But I live very far away from every tibetan center in the world. I appreciate it if someone could clarify :)

    Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes.
    Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other.
    God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it.
    For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️.
