A Guided Meditation with Mooji & Russell Brand 

Such a beautiful exercise, spoiled by the intrusive Ads

The key to any meditation is observation. In the words of Krishnamurti, "the observer is the observed." Stay blessed everyone!

Those commercials made my blood boil

I was really getting into the meditation until a freakin Wendy’s commercial interrupted. Geeez

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.

Mooji used to be a youth worker in London. Lucky kids - getting to play pool with him down the youth club.

it’s nice to heal after a long day at work… Sending everyone who sees this positive energy, stay safe :)

Mooji is such a saintly BEing. A love that shines through his speech and grace. We are fortunate to live in his time.

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.

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 💋

Super grateful for this Russel and Mooji 🙏 Who else is ready to raise our vibration level with this meditation?

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.

Sending Love to everyone especially those close to me in the wildfires 🙏🏻🇺🇸California

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...

No adds on this anymore! Thank you 🙏

I got teary-eyed after some of those "no", such a beautiful meditation. Thank you for this 🙏

🙏🏻 thank you mooji , the sound of your voice has such a calming tone to it .

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. בס״ד

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.

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 💛

Thank you in all sincerity Russel for this meditative experience with Mooji. Deeply appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

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!

3 minutes in and I was in tears...I’m going to have to loop this

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 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.

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🙏🏻😌

This was great. I didn’t expect to cry like I did. Thank you

It's too bad about the Ads. But this was a wonderful experience. Thank you to Mooji and Russell.

That was simply lovely. Thank you for this beautiful upload 🙏

All I felt was Love. Thank you Russell, I really needed this right now💖🇨🇦💖

You changed my life Russel brand when you introduced me to Mooji Baba Thanks a million for that 🙏🙏🙏

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.

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. ❤️

This is Amazing, very Cleansing and Healing. I saw a Vision of my True Self I had never seen before.

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.

I love guided meditations, I loved this guided meditation and I love making my own.. generally making subliminal affirmation or healing frequency videos ♥️💎 Blessings 🙏🙏

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💚💚💚

Beautiful meditation, thank you 🙏💚 Full of colorful waves and full awareness of oneness 💚

Mooji is a life saver. Helped my depression when nothing else worked.

Wow! The most amazing guidance I have ever heard. Impossible to forget ty so much x

Once you learn to not be annoyed by the adverts, then you are truely enlightened :)

The observer of true self coming from the place of stillness.....such a devine healing energy thankyou ✨ 🙏

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

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. 🙏

I feel Mr. Rusell Brand has done the practice! Thanks for your example

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.

"Are you imaginging this?" ...."no"..........................no ???? ....YES !!!!.....ABSOLUTELY !........

Thank you, Russell and Mooji!

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.

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.

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

Love his voice. Great exercise.

I felt so happy like I came home. I'm now very calm. Thankyou

Thank you very, very much! I am so happy and peaveful now that I cant explain. I wish this experience to all.

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.

Thank you Russell for having so many awesome guests. Meditation 🧘‍♀️ saves lives 🧘🏽😎❤️🧡💛💚💙🤎🤍🖤💜

Two of my favorite people, floating in the space. Thank you for this. I forgot who i was.

I hope, your creator, whatever name you may give it to, is the pivot of the meditation! God bless!

Right in the middle of this beautiful meditation a blaring ad came in from Amazon...wow...brutal

Self realization is like looking for yr glasses yr whole life and one day realizing they have been on yr head the whole time

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.

I love your videos. They help me get ready for the day ahead. Sending love your way.

This is an interesting twist on just my normal goals towards meditation. Truly fascinating.

Wow! I need to practice this, then maybe mindfulness will help me to ignore the adverts when I feel myself getting deeper into mediative state

I am thoroughly digging your content! Thank you. ☮❤🙂🎶

Wow. Great guided meditation. Like a mainline straight into the zone

Whhhhhhyyy!!!!! Freaking ad snapped me out of the what is😩

I'm having a hard time with this. Most of my answers are honestly "yes". For example, when Mooji asks if this has a boundary, I feel like this has the boundary of my body, otherwise I would feel the wall that surround me, or my bed and everything else around me. Rationally I can understand my deep attachment to my body and mind and I wish I could see clearly and without reason (or mind) what his words are pointing to. Hopefully I'll be able to understand this better the more I keep opening myself to this exercise.

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

Please Russell! It's a guided meditation let it be and let it play! ❤️

For me when everything is taking care of itself I am wonderful in meditation peace

This meditation has stayed with me.

thank you, thank you, thank you - really touched my heart, beautiful

Moogi thank you so much! That was wonderful and thank you Russell.

Incredible. Thank you Mooji

depression can occur in the body and be experienced from “this that is” (Mooji’s description for context) and becomes a truly magical experience

Ad blocker folks! I came out of that meditation with tears down my face and had no idea until it was over. How profound!

Interview megan phelps, that would be fascinating! Thanks i look forward to it.

Look at the full version, there it is no ads in the meditation.

Lovely images my mind created I will always be able to access and view as I close my eyes. Beautiful

Just beautiful! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I met Mooji in 2017. This being is so wonderful. Check out his Thank you meditation.

Beautiful to share. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

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..

Fabulous thankyou mooji and Russell 👍 much love x

I love this exercise. Thank you

Brilliant left me in tears 😭

ITS WHERE WE HAVE AND ARE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE. ITS WHERE MY "PASSED ON" FAMILY IS. ITS ETERNAL SPIRIT OF US .

To discover ones self, one has to remove all the constructs they have, and beliefs about how consciousness exists, or how objects are, even the thoughts that they don't realise they have which underline the decisions they make they have to watch and see, so to discover ones self, one has to assume nothing about ones self or the world, or even how spirituality is suppose to be like. One must simply observe. Let go of ideas about spirituality is suppose to be and view their thoughts, view themselves, and view the world, how it actually is.

An actor like no other. It was a pleasure👌👍❤🙏

The experience was so wonderful that not even the ads swayed me!

Nice, so cool to see you talk with Mooji !

This perennial wisdom has been the way of the world’s religions since before religions. There are as many ways to practice this contemplative silence as there are people. I have done this WORK ( it is work!) for 20 years using the method advocated byJohn Main from within the Christian tradition of 2000 years. It uses a mantra - a word of choice to achieve exactly the state of Being practised here with Russell. For which thanks. Zap intrusive ads with mindful alacrity.

Soooo relaxing Thanks Russ ❤️💥

Seems to be great! Going to have to take a couple more tries to get it down, i get too relaxed and almost fell asleep.

made me cry

3 ads and had to stop video. Come on Russ. Leave the monetization out once in a while. Love you!
