Debunking the 5 Most Common Meditation Myths | Light Watkins | TEDxVeniceBeach 

LOL, true! It's hard at first, but it gets easier the more you try it :)

I've heard something similar, "If you have time to breathe, you have time to meditate."

@@Theprofishional ❤️

My version that I heard is if you don’t have time to meditate once a day you should meditate twice a day and I knew that as a fact for five years and I only started my true commitment to daily meditation last week but better late than never

Wow super b

Beautiful comment...

to Steven Barnes, I think that if you had disturbed your Grandmother, while She was meditating, that She would have been grateful for the disturbance, because She would understand the innocents of a child, & so She may have been prepaired for it sometimes, "because somebody that was so zen like" with her continued practices would, I think mean that you would be in a state of mind that would allow you to be prepaired for little interuptions every now & then, put it this way, if your Grandmother was ever meditating when you were around there, & She was aware that you were there, but never got disturbed by you I am sure she would have found it hard to concerntrate, because if She wasn't disturbed by you when She knew that you were around, that it may be hard to focus when you are expecting to hear little voices, but it's all quiet, some times hearing people even while meditating can help put your mind into a good place, because you know they're safe most of the time if you can hear them. for a small portion of my life I lived near train lines, & as funny as it sounds after you get use to them, even while sleeping if they didn't come for one reason or another you would be missing them because of being conditioned to your environment.

Really great talk. Basically well and simply explained that we should not go against the flow and accept everything as it is to be able to relax and meditate

I decided not to listen when I saw his name was Light. I paused at the 2 second mark to read the comments instead.

@@tzimmerhakl wow

i absolutely agree with you about how articulate he is, and how easy it was for him to dispense a lecture on such a topic. He was brilliant.

did t even notice 17 min flew by it felt more like 5 min much like meditation

@@thebutcherspecial flew like sanitizer

Steve Ngo bless u Steve

Thank goodness for you, cause I did not have time to watch this video.... wait.

Steve Ngo Highly appreciate

God bless you

@@faithfulsoldier04 sound like you need to meditate

Good compliment but I think those who practice Vipassana come to know these things within the first 10 days retreat.

@@paulocunha3799 I am sure they meant tips for people starting out. Anyone at any retreat would know these things.

Congrats on 20 years great accomplishment

Your exact experience may vary but there can be similar experiences which people can relate to. Else how can it be scientific.

except for samadhi

Ladislav Varga i agree✌

@@leododgewiper Beautiful, negates his whole sentence.

And before?

Try listening more public speakers.

That's because he meditates, and not only that; is because he know how to meditate.

I came here to say that same thing. First time I've ever been able to fully listen and comprehend a video at twice the speed without having to go back and relisten.

I thought it was just me

You should get out more.

I almost choked lol.

@@vincentdomingo3484 I can't remember writing this

@@codinginflow lmao

hmmmmm

@@codinginflow It just proves you didn't meditate Lol

Well said..in fact I once heard that "the practice of gently and calmly re-focusing the thoughts back to the focal point...THAT IS meditation!"

The powers of the mind has no limits

@@lyfelesscadaver1713 "I'll be young for all eternity"...yes, and so will Janis. Janis, you are missed. Me and my BobbyGee, I hope you are not 'missed' for a long, long time. peace.

You wont but it will feel like it...

Albert Thomas agree....

What's medation?

Meditation is the same as going to the gym but youre not going there with your body but your mind. I started meditation an hour a day when i was younger and the noise in my head almost completly disappeared. Now im older and i stopped meditation and my mind is noiser. So really mind is a muscle you need to train.

Take it easy man. You guys just jump on anything indian. Why do you have such a low self esteem.

pheng lee Hey uhhhhhh, this is literally what he said towards the end. He said focus on your breathe and if you notice the mind starts to wonder, gently bring it back (without getting mad at yourself or having any negative feelings). Do this everytime your mind wonders. Basic mindfulness. I wonder if you didn't watch all of the video cuz I was thinking the same thing you were until he got to the end :)

I agree, the talk isn't that clear, I've found that the basic practice is concentrating on breath, noticing your mind has wandered and coming back to the sensations of breathing. And he sound like if basic meditation was concentrating on a single object.

@@licandres01 good pt may I ask how had your meditation going I just started And realize that yes it is hard to start But I would like to keep trying

@@garysimone4977 there's a lot of benefit, just do it 2 minutes every morning, if you do that for 25 days it will become a habit, then do more time as you feel you need it, in two months you may be doing 10 minutes every morning which is good enough.

@@licandres01 thank you That is a great idea I will try right now and do 2 min in AM and 2 min PM to start Yes I did it today with some help as and wow so much came up WAS VERY POWERFUL ALL DAY AS I NEED TO RELEASE ALOT OF MY PAST AS WELL

@@garysimone4977 well I don't know what you mean by "came up", you are not supposed to look for anything, actually meditation is an exercise of concentration on one side and on the other hand one of observation, you need to observe feelings, thoughts and sensations, but you are not trying to see them to find something, you are just observing them, and what you are trying to do is refine your ability to be the watcher of those perceptions without identifying with them, let's say you observe a though of sadness, you are not supposed to observe it and feel that sadness, but just to note that you had a though with a sad connotation. You are trying for example to go from someone who thinks "I'm not good enough" and gets immersed in that feeling of unworthiness, to someone who perceives that same though and just notes it, that person wouldn't feel unworthy but would know that he is having thoughts of unworthiness, that person would say (mentally) "I notice that I am thinking that I'm not good enough" So don't look for insights during meditation, practice observation.

I was just thinking that

So true! I was just thinking that!

On point!!!! KMSL

No, you are not.
