Break Out Of Your OBSESSIVE THINKING - With This Technique 

Are there any topics you'd like me to address? Let me know and I might just make a video on it! Remember to subscribe so you never miss a video!

This has been my first and most likely last time I meditate to the sound of a birthing cat.

Are you watching this because you’re trapped in your own thoughts 👌

This is the best video I've seen in awhile. Said allot about your calm that she came to have her babies with you. This was such a lovely video! Thank you for leaving the cat instead of redoing this. There are so many elements of truly good to this. Thank you Russell:))

Think we can confidently say this is the only guided meditation on RU-vid where a cat's waters break

I was crying...and then laughing from an attempt to meditate as a beautiful magical moment. So now I'm "dying" to know about your 🐈 beautiful kitty.

As a sufferer of chronic OCD for the last 30 years, who constantly reviews conversations I've had, I'm gonna find this really interesting. Love this channel Russell. Thank you.

I am struggling with obsessive thoughts that keep me from properly loving the people closest to me. I burst into tears when I heard your voice saying "you are bigger than the thoughts and are able to transcend it and move beyond it". Such powerful TRUTH. It gets lost in our Societal Programming. Thank you for the timely reminder. Peace.

I’ve gone from not really caring for you to thinking you’re one of the coolest, smartest and kindest people on the planet! Thank you for being a voice of calmness and reason in the midst of lunacy and chaos!

I can't believe I just meditated while a cat is giving birth, live 😂😂

I find i am often thinking in fear of all the future possibilities that may or may not happen. Or i find myself in future potential conversations with people that will probably never happen. So meditation is the key. It calms down the thoughts and helps you realise when you are not present.

Your calmness, kindness, the way you surrender to your environment, to life, is so inspiring & beautiful... You are a great teacher, and so is your lovely cat (I think they all are, for those who take the time to observe. Mine sure is to me) 🙏

🤣 Your cats timing was amazing, that has to be the most distracted meditation I've ever tried. Hope it's had its kittens nice and successful

I have found that underneath every mental health issue there is ANXIETY and underlying anxiety is FEAR being one of our first basic instincts in which we use to protect ourselves from harm but rather than let fear consume oneself one should follow their fear for it is through following your fear and confronting it we overcome it and when we overcome it we free ourselves from it…

The situation of him trying to help us to do meditation about not thinking, while his cat is meowing trying to give birth, made me laugh while trying to focus on his words. I couldn’t concentrate. I was like “mate , just pause and continue to recording later” lol Hope she wasn’t in pain, and her and the kittens are ok. Congratulations on the new members of your family

This was a near perfect video to watch. The beautiful vibe the cat brought, life giving life, was an additional bonus on an already peaceful and calm video. Calm seems to gravitate towards you. I can only imagine how many people surround you, to get a little bit of calm in their lives. Even the cat was affected by you. I hope she used your calm as a way to give birth. Beautiful video. Thank you

Your mama kitty profoundly displayed the cycle of life whilst you were discussing a death of a friend. My condolences,and my congratulations to your mama kitty giving birth!adorable and cute! Thank you for the meditation it helped. Skål🥰

I obsessed over the way I think before the pandemic, like a cyclotron...Continue. The first time I attempt meditation, a cat goes into labor...

Brothers and sisters, still the mind and God will sing her song through each and every plant, animal, and object of her universe. All is one; everything speaks if we slow ourselves enough to listen.

Hey Russel mate, I just wanted to say I've been dealing with pschiophrenia for the past year now, and thanks to you I have a way to reach serenity without the use of drugs or alcohol. You're doing a brilliant thing mate please keep going, you're honestly my hero x.

Dearest Russell... I have been trying to escape from my own head for the past 40 years.... yes I listen to/watch you to escape from the relentless narrative (yes I am an addict, not clean)... but Russell, your channel is simply WONDERFUL! GOD BLESS YOU, Always.xxx

Watching in lockdown here in NZ. We'd had months of no cases until suddenly last Tuesday. Love Russell's channel and as a recovering addict living alone thank you so much for this video! Peace.

40 years old and I overthink massively about everything. Stops me being productive and having goals/ambitions. Thanks for this

I really love this and I have to thank you very much! I plan to join in on your luminary. I have extreme PTSD from being shot randomly three and a half years ago and it has caused me to obsess more so than I used to, I'm well aware and in therapy and moving along well but at times I do not really obsess about the incident but I'm too aware of everything. Every word every thought every sound the sounds really bother me! What bothers me more is the unacceptance from my family, part of my family. And I cannot control them, I don't want to any longer and learn that they are narcissists. It is the saddest thing for me to realize but this incident has brought me to a new light and awareness of so many things. I am a new person from this a good person and I do my daily affirmations as well to get through it. Thank you again!

Cat going into labor while meditating with Russell. Life writes the best stories.

Thank you so much for this video, I asked my guides for help 3 hours ago exactly when you posted this! Crying to them to help me let go of this anger, even though I have every right to be livid, I don't want to live with it, I don't want to pass it on to others. I want to be free of the obsessive thinking and negative feelings that come with it, regardless of what I'm dealing with... I really can't even believe you posted this right now, I'm a little shocked at how fast asking for guidance worked...

Don't pay the mind any mind...instead, focus on the experiencing and feeling of the moment. Kinesthetic instead of mental. Be fully aware. And regularly meditate...which is just sitting, being present, being silent, being still, and being fully aware.

Thank you so much for that Russell from the depths my heart thank you. I am in recovery and I've seen my life transform, getting out my head and into my body is the safest place to be for me and is something I try to practise daily because what goes on in my head is NUTS. Being able to do it with someone ie a community of people or yourself on youtube is incredibly helpful. A thousand loves and blessings.

I feel the same about not felling safe when I’m thinking about what others think about me like the government and stuff

Not gonna lie... that was the best meditation I've ever had... I feel so good... I am the biggest smile... I am laughing internally in every place of my being... great meditation 🧘‍♂️... thank you very much Russell...

"your mental environment is subject to your agency and your personal authority, particularly if you derive that authority from somewhere deeper..." this grabbed me. ❤️

Definitely need freedom from obsessive thoughts

Just woke up at 3:33am not unusual for me I have been an individual support worker for a person with mental health issues for 7 years and man have I learned some things but what I’ve learned mostly from my own journey and how I have love peace and calm within me like an ocean in motion is always being true to myself…Being true to yourself means you don't worry about pleasing other people; living by someone else's standards or rules. You don't care what people think of you. You live as your natural self. Without compromise….

When something like this happens we all need some help so thanks for these for Real

FFS you totally threw me off with the cat. I burst out laughing there 😂

Well, this is the first time my cat ever came to sit next to me to watch a Russell video...😹😹...the sound effects were irresistible to her. 😽 😽

Tool said it best: "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind"

I've never cried and then laughed with relief within such a few minutes before, first time I've ever meditated like this, it's great!! I'm going to try it with my boys too!! :) Thanks Russel (Fellow Troubled Essex Boy)

My rescue donkey let me brush her while this played. Amazing. I can normally only get a minute or two at a time before she starts to freak out. Was able to get done with the whole thing at once and she seemed to want more!

Hi, I so look forward to listening to you every day! Thank you for your honest, unbridled, intelligent and intuitive thoughts on the “matters”✌🏼❤️

Dude. You’ve changed. And I respect you 1000%

I can't stop thinking, obsessive thoughts. I'm stuck in my head and along came self loathing I mean true hatred, so I wake up with guilt immediately, then comes the internet RU-vid watch incessantly just to keep me from snapping going insane. I believe I already am. I haven't left my home in months and months I go to the Dr every 3 months and straight home. I don't like being raw out there. I'm terrified of people, even my own family. This is my life, there's not a lot to it but it's packed. Blessings Sir Russell 🇨🇦✌🙏🙏🙏

Stoicism in action! E. Tolle, Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius.... The fact that Stoicism is still and or increasingly again utilized, is in itself a testament of it usefulness.

Thank you for all that you do and the time and effort you put into your work!

My obsessive thought throughout the guided meditation was, I'm afraid, "shouldn't we check on the cat giving birth"!!! I couldn't concentrate one bit & kept peeking my eyes open to see if Russell was looking at the cat. Also thought that would have been a beautiful thing to witness lol 😆

Thank you Russell! Also , it's so loving and sweet that you include your kitty. Blessings and Love. 🙏 ❤

God Bless everyone!!!! Jesus Loves you all very much!!!!

I started to cry when this all began and your cat miaowing help me open up!🙀🥰thank you so beautiful all of this is much ❤️ 😻❤️‍🔥

Love the channel Russel !!! Thank you so much!!!

+Russell - - If you still have any kittens, then I'll adopt one - - I found this channel/video from watching a video on your other channel ... I joined the guided mediation (why not?, as I'm an INTJ/Sigma Male who certainly overthinks too much) ... After the first few meows, I originally thought it was a new comedy gag (I appreciate your witty sense of humor), ... then at 8:00, I just had to laugh out loud ... then at 8:12, "We're not going to fall into obsessive thinking" (I thought, that was a brilliant joke), ... many meows later at 10:25, I spit my beer out (Yeah, I'm watching this video Friday afternoon, after a long week), ... I began laughing so hard, I was literally crying from the joy of the situation, ... then at 12:33, ... WOW, just WOW !!! (I thought, Holy $HIT, that was not a gag!) - - Seriously, if any kittens are still available, then PM me as I want to adopt a ... Karma Kitty! - - New sub from this video.

I am not at a level where I can stop obsessing about the cat. 😂

WOW!! What a GURU the cat goes into labour and Russ just turns round and goes back to the moment💪🙏😇😍

Russell I do not know how to reach you. I am horrified by what they are doing to you. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. 4 separate individuals who all saw me as a target for their paedophilia. 2 female and 2 male. Russell you have always been very open with all that has happened in your life. Not for a single second did I consider these allegations to be true. Not from blindly following a “celebrity” do I feel this way. I have read your books. Mate you are so open and honest. I could feel your pain at your own actions with your beloved pet , Topsy. I cried. Obviously a little child who was emotionally abused by your maternal grandmother. In the worst way. Dad - you can love him yet that doesn’t make him a good father. Step father. Goodness me ! I am sorry that was taken out of context. You are not an animal abuser. Rather you protect all who you see as your equals. Be they the smallest creature to all living things you show respect. Certainly no psychopath. You defend not hurt. Promiscuity in itself is not a crime. Please know there are many other people who believe in you. You have helped me in my struggles with trauma more than I can ever have begun to hope for. With your teachings- meditation, coping mechanisms and all manner of support for me. I have sought help for four and a half decades now. Russell you have helped me so very much and I am forever grateful to you for your support and ongoing encouragement. Please be safe. We know they are wanting you to fail. I will triumph you with every breath. Until I breathe no more. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and honesty. I hope your family and yourself are safe and healthy. Mostly I hope you weather this ridiculous storm and keep your own self worth intact. A million times thank you. I stand by you 100% . Love , Jude from Australia.

Awe the cat. 💜 That mediation was good. I was so relaxed into the meditation, I found it difficult to let my obsessive thought run wild. I thought the thought and that was it.

Russell, great video! Thank you for your time and effort with this video on "obsessive thinking". I believe you are such a very good person and I enjoy all your podcasts and your RU-vid video's! This really helped me in thinking about what really triggers my obsession in many areas! Your the best! Don't dwell on the past, Russell, just keep moving forward! You have came such a long way from your previous self! Love your cat! As you can see, I am a cat person as well! Be well and be blessed!

Fair play, Russell. Good work.
