Hey bro, this is a great video! 🙌🏻 cant believe there are only 2 comments below! Meditation does help me a lot, especially when I struggled with my anxiety, depression and OCD last year. I feel like meditation can really help me to be in the present, and at some moment I can feel I am literally alive and living in this world!☀️I like to do it simply on my bed and with eyes open looking outside of the window or just shut my eyes to isolate myself in the complete darkness. I am currently doing my A-level, and find it helpful to do a 10-minutes meditation 🧘♀️ before I start to do my work. And as I start to have drama lessons recently, it surprises me that many of the acting techniques require meditation to have a mindset and self-awareness. I also recommend a book called “the Power of Now” which inspires me to begin my meditation journey. Anyway, thank u for ur video and sharing! And hope to see more of your videos 💕
Thank you so much Joanna! 2 comments on a video was the norm for me until last week hahah, I'm really glad meditation has helped you:) it genuinely is so transferable to so many areas of your life. I listened to the power of now audiobook a few years ago, it's really interesting but also Eckhart Tolle is so far enlightened that he almost can't relate to anyone anymore? Like the book got more wishy washy as it went on, idk what you think
@@FrancisMadden yes I agree, his theories are not very scientific,it is more like a literature about his own experience rather than a psychology textbook loll. But i guess for a beginner who might wanna try meditation, this book does illustrate very well about what kind of feeling you will get by meditation. I’m not an expert so Im not really sure about this haha. Are there any books about meditation or psychology you recommend? Maybe you can make a video about that :D
Ah thanks so much dickie!🙌 I did it in 2017 before starting at Cambridge, honestly as soon as I discovered it I thought I have to try this. I guess because I'd been meditating for a while it sounded like the next step to challenge myself/experiment. Maybe I also thought "this will make me happy" but it's obviously not that simple in reality
Sometimes when we have repressed anger or some kind of unresolved issue in life which we don't want to deal with meditation can bring uneasiness, in your case anger. If you keep on practising meditation you would be able to resolve the issue or if you are unaware of the problem meditation can bring the issue on the surface and you would be able to resolve. This happened with me, I went to 10 day vippassana meditation retreat and a forgotten, unpleasant and unresolved event of my life came to surface.
Just going through your videos and found this one interesting. Unfortunately regarding religious values, it's also important to note that no religious values are allowed to be practised during vipassina, which is a shame as I wouldn't be able to pray. Looks enlightening though :)
