Learn To Meditate with Deepak Chopra & Russell Brand! 

Do you meditate? If you do, how has it helped you? If you DON'T...why not?! Sceptical? Can't be bothered?

5 ad-breaks in a meditation teaching is as helpful as running a church club in a table dance bar

I believe everything we want in life starts with connecting deeper into the present moment. Meditation daily where for the almost 4 years has completely shifted my life. As you become more aware of the unconscious thought processes that don't serve, and step out of the false created ego identity, everything in your life will naturally align to your higher purpose. Thanks Russel, much love. 🙏

So, there I am, halfway through this meditation when Mr. Chopra says: "Now say your full name: I am Russell Brand". Me: "I am Russell Brand" Treacherous meditation this is.. But aside from this, thank you for sharing!

I love how eager Russell gets in the beginning when Deepak says "Lets begin". Man, this is amazing.

Why all the negative comments, if you don't agree with the content of this video surely you can find something else that makes you happy.

Can you do more of these? They help in my meditations 🙏🏽

I’ve used this video numerous times in my meditation but lately with the 5 ad breaks it has sadly become unusable, could you please move all ads to the beginning of the video?

I've never watched anybody meditate before. It was very calming and somewhat interesting.

Am self aware and don't look to others for guidance in my meditation but I understand we all have different needs and input. I practice my yoga in the morning to start my day and in the evening to wind down I also stretch to relieve tension and tightness. Sleep well in the center of calm.😌☮

I dont remember meditating? Did I do it right? I feel really good now, almost liberated, it was my first time. I plan on meditating everyday

Awesome. I love meditation. I learned TM @ 20 years ago. I find it helps me organise myself by problem solving and letting me know what is possible to create. Nice to see Deepak too. Thankyou both.

Russell, its so incredible to see the transformation of how you are today vs years ago. Obviously as fans we don't know everything about you but you definitely radiate something very different from your soul. Thank you for helping us try to figure this shit out. I've always been taught that meditation is evil... Good lord why?!

Hey Russell, could you please upload the second part of this video. I would like to hear what he explains! Thank you :) and guys, please thumbs up so he'll see..

Man I have done a lot of meditation but after doing this one I felt so good. I wonder why....definitely a new experience.

The art of meditation is to quiet your mind by focusing on something inane like say a dripping tap or flickering candle so that you quiet your mind and ultimately release resistance. In this state one can receive an impulse through inspiration which can create a new experience of say fun/creativity/interest etc...its a lot easier to achieve than we think!

I simply had to spotaneously join them in meditation while watching this video. It was awesome so thank you. Russel looks so seasoned in meditation.

The air conditioner and the fireplace are going at the same time? Is that a haiku?

Russell, thank you so much for putting this on here. Unfortunately I'm at work, but did start to mediate early in the am, following your video. I can't wait to do it at home. I have been meditating on and off for many, many years. I first went to a place in NY. It had a name, but I don't remember it. We were taught to use mantras back then. I find that when I allow my thoughts to just be there I have more of a powerful mediation. When I do it at home I'll let you know what I think (ha, ha). I enjoyed what ever I did. I so get it!!!

I have meditated and love it...but I find I’ve gotten out of it. I’d love to get back at it. This video has given me a boost. Thank you, Russell and Deepak!

Thanks for this. I had never meditated before. I have become recently aware of having an inner habit of negatively grading myself in every action/thought.

As an earnest mediator since 1979 guided by Baba Hari Dass, a revered east Indian Master, I was touched by your willingness to meditate with Deepak Chopra guiding in such a lovely, natural manner. I've listened to his Teachings for many decades, starting with a cassette recorded series! My husband and I witnessed the authentic quality of someone (you) who has embarked on this path, with all it's challenges (like trying to stay awake when the body so desperately wants to rest, for example) as sincere meditators can relate to. This is a beautiful guided meditation and so are the participants!

This is a great technique, I used this guided meditation yesterday and had the most wonderful experience. After using transcendental and Kriya Yoga techniques for a number of years I'm constantly trying to evolve and source ways in which I can find a deeper state of consciousness. This was really great, thanks for sharing

This mediation is awesome Deepek Chopra is a living legend he has taken spiritually to a higher level he is genuine and loved by millions of people around the world, Namaste

Dr Chopra has a great voice for meditation 🧘‍♂️

I do meditate! Russell has left the building...

He is not falling asleep, but falling into a deeper state of consciousness. But continually interrupts himself. I’ve done it and completely allowed myself to completely to dip and fall. Because that is where we should be.

That was brilliant some of it emotional and uplifting.

thank you both, this was a much needed moment.

Meditation has in a way saved me from whatever is going on, on this earth 🌍

OMG Russel Brand doesn't talk throughout this ENTIRE video!!!! What a gift!!!!

love this reminds me of the Betty Erickson induction - wife of Milton Erickson hypnotherapist

Thank you so much. The both of you. You’re doing great things man the younger crowd here’s you and appreciates the wisdom and guidance.

His voice is very soothing. I was literally sleeping by the 4:30 mark, thank you 😴

A profound and deep thank you for this Russell and Deepak 🙏🙏🙏

wow...i can't believe that was thirty-four minutes?! That is the best 34-minute video I never watched. Will be not watching this one many times over. hard to describe but the relief from life itself is profound

I see many came here to focus on a man and not the message. Meditation helps me to recognize those I have the strongest reaction to are my teachers. Why am I carrying such weight? Why do I rent space in my head for such things?

Ajahn Brahm - Buddhist Society of Western Australia - he's the guy you want to meditate with

Wow... from someone who has only really done TM.... and a visual meditation in my forever growing vast garden somewhere between Bagend Hall and the Dagaba system and wonderful gardens ... it was nice to separate my seeing, breathing, hearing and sensations and with them I am. my imagination my mantra and then meditating my self on my self...... I really went through a few gears their and it was all heightened as well... Really worked for me ...I genuinely felt expanded consciousness hearing and all as one...... Impressed : )) Worked for me in. a great way. : ))

I don't know how and i know its just me stopping me and i'm pissed at me for stopping me. I had a spiritual awakening this spring and i can't seem to do anything right lately. okay, also, so glad you are awake, Russell. So many people all over the globe in different ways waking up.

With his half closed eyes and big smile Russel brand sometimes reminds me of the Moon from the Mighty Boosh

Please fix the mic clipping! It's highly distracting, especially if you're actually trying to meditate. Not the only video that has this issue.

Did the meditation with you guys. It felt like I accessed the energy of it, from this point in consciousness. Pretty cool. Maybe the information generated is now stored in the field? The universe observing itself? Thanks for bringing Dr. Chopra on the show. Best Wishes

When the meditative experience becomes electromagnetic, then, the body, which is what actually meditates, reveals the false existence of a self, individual, person or human being! Meditation is what arises! I'm actually impressed at Russel Brand! He has actually transcended into incredible energy! Deepak is just as impressive! Great show! A lot of information of course, to nobody! Just bodies interacting with ENERGY! Energy aware of itself!

Enjoyed this so much

Fave part of the video is the very beginning when DC says . So.. let’s do our meditation and Russel smiles and wiggles excitedly into position! Then...lol... he obviously reeeeeallly wanted to close his eyes but like a good boy on cross legged on the classroom mat - he opens them. Made me smile so much!!

So awesome ya got Deepak on! I got to meet him twice was fantastic. I skipped seeing AC/DC to see Deepak one of the times

He was about to explain the meditation. Can anyone kindly send me a link to the next part of this video. Thanks

Profound Relaxation: why meditation is rest A defining characteristic of meditative procedures is that they are practiced intermittently and over set periods of time. One practices meditation or mindfulness at certain hours during the day and for certain amounts of time, generally a half hour to an hour. The reduction of perseverative cognition (worry, rumination, distraction) through meditation gives the musculature the time to completely relax, and this state of persistent or profound relaxation elicits a state of pleasure or mild euphoria due to the concomitant and sustained elicitation of endogenous opioids (or endorphins) in the brain. The sustained increase of endogenous opioids also down regulates opioid receptors, and thus inhibits the salience or reward value of other substances (food, alcohol, drugs) that otherwise increase opioid levels, and therefore reduces cravings. Profound relaxation also mitigates our sensitivity to pain and inhibits tension. In this way, relaxation causes pleasure, enhances self-control, counteracts and inhibits stress, reduces pain, and provides for a feeling of satisfaction and equanimity that is the hallmark of the so-called meditative state. We normally do not associate relaxation with a natural high let alone deduce its benefits, and that is because we rarely have but a few minutes’ respite from the next distractive event or thought. Because it is so unusual and unexpected, it is easy to ascribe a unique meditative state to meditative procedure, an inference that is easy to demonstrate as wrong. If perseverative cognition elicits tension, then the continuous avoidance of such cognition for an hour or so will result in total relaxation and a feeling of pleasure, along with greater self-control and rationality. from ‘The Book of Rest’, at web site doctormezmer

That was amazing.

Thank you for these podcasts, Russell. They've been very influential, before I was able to drive myself. Not to mention the others you've introduced me to... Like, I haven't fan girled in 20 years, before a couple months ago when you cast Brene Brown.. And she just made sense to me.. She spoke my language. And somehow that gave interlude to my rut mentality. It began something real for me. And this meditation was amazing! Btw..

I would also like more of these! Thank you!

Why so much hate? He doesn't seem like a scammer to me

Fantastic episode! Thank you Russel, and thank you Mr. Chopra.

This was a great experience, maybe even a “primer” for the uninitiated? An excellent introduction, with wonderful instruction from Deepak. :) The TM videos and IOS apps I tried were just okay, or mediocre. This really worked. Wow. Thanks Russel and Deepak. Big ups! TM is expensive, but I think I might cough up the cash after this. Wowza!

Please, if you could, post the whole video. I`ve enjoy it so much, and for sure a lot of people do too...there`s a lot of places in the world that luminary do not function. If you may it would be awesome. Anyway, thanks for all.

I am having the experience of sleep.

Meanwhile Russel is actually falling asleep.

This was great. Had to cut it short because I’m at work. I wish it wasn’t interrupted but multiple commercial breaks, but even with that I was still able to relax and enjoy it. I’m saving this ideo to use it again.

Hi again Russell. I sincerely thank you for what you do, for helping so many in need. Zeek Banister replied to my first thank you note to you implying that you are a nut. That made me smile and I thought of Eckhart and his teachings. If you are a nut, I’m a nut, at least we are awake sometimes..... .....and Zeek, I wish you all the best, love, peace.🙏

Thank you Russell. It is the best guided meditation practice I watched on RU-vid, and it was the type of meditation that I was looking for. I appreciate a lot your work and the time you put on it. Cheers

🌸 meditation saved me from countless issues and made me more attuned to enlightenment and Devine guidance We all carry the answers we seek deep within ourselves, just staying quiet and refocusing can do wonders for our wellbeing

Es una meditación magistral! Maravillosa para superar cualquier cáncer, depresión o enfermedad. Simplemente aplicada a tu bienestar, lograrás un estado de plenitud y paz interior. Gracias Dr. Deepak Chopra!!!!

I am adored, Deepak Chopra’s mantra of “I am”

“Alright I want you to close your eyes” and Deepak steals his wallet and runs off

Russell, that was great! Thank you so much or sharing. I actually went into a meditative state which is very difficult for me, and in fact have only ever before gone into this state at DAMIEN ECHOLS, Joshua Tree medidation retreat. Are you familiar with his story? A meet up between your 2 minds would be a great thing to see. Thank you, -Julie

Two of my favorite inspirational men! Great video Russell! One note to make though, if you have Deepak back you should get a de-esser in his mic or turn down the highs...His S’s were too much to take at times. Cheers, Adam

Wow! I've just found this, what an amazing person to guide you in meditation. I will have to save this.

I like the work of Jon Kabat Zinn His guided meditation helped through rough times

""Intuition fears existential potentiality" - Deepak Chopra

What a gift. Meditation undoubtedly brings benefits but it is not immediate and too many of us want immediate gratification or immediate results. Even 10 minutes a day given to meditation will give huge benefits. What is there to loose by giving it a try? Surely we can find 10 minutes in a day and benefits are guaranteed. To practice 10 minutes in the morning and at night has been invaluable o me.

Nice to have about 4 adverts in a meditation video, well done Russell.

Hi handsome.,meditation helps me to remove stress and anxiety😎

It’s a service to demonstrate meditation to people who mystify it.

Beautiful!!! Really beautiful! 😊😊😊😊 Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fantastic! Grateful to you both. The nod out from RB was classic, not once but several times. I would have been there too my friend but I was RIDLEY DISTURBED BY ADS 🙃 In light and love to all beings ❤️

Thank you, Russel and Deepak for sharing this. I feel high and very aware of my body and surroundings afterwards. Thank you for making these videos available - they make a huge difference.

I would love a video about why you chose to do this video. What is your opinion on his teachings?

Aha, these two are finally together! Two genuine genius!

Thank you. 💫

That was lovely, almost nodded off for a sec, also around 15 mins in was aware of an inner sight opened Infront of me...awesome, thank you Russell.

Y is this guy telling Russell Brand what to do and why is he letting him?

I enjoyed this. But I also notice I bore easily, LOL! Especially if I don't 'get' the rhetoric or fear I'm not 'good enough' to get it... interesting points for me to note! And I assume the explanation of the meditation will be available soon? Thank you both for your energy & time x

Wonderful. Thank you.

All of this negativity in the comments really shows how far we as a society still have to go. Instead of listening to this positive message about meditation, you are more concerned about tearing a man down who is providing very beneficial information about ones self on Russels platform. I truly hope one day those of you who ignore the message and shoot the messenger will wake up and see how this circle of negativity affects you. 🎸🇺🇸🦅

Holy shit this was awesome! 😌😍

AMAZING !! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPERIENCE 💛💚💜

Thanks, I needed that.

You radiate peace, light, love, calm and wisdom thankyou for letting us watch your meditation.

I'm going to live a simple life in a cave, where i just drink tea and meditate all day long. Does anyone want to come?

Thank you

Really enjoyed the grand canyon university ad 5 minutes in. That helped me get deep into meditation

Idk what Deepak Chopra did or said in this meditation that proved his “scams”. Russell is just chilling in silence and hanging out with someone guiding a meditation, just sensitizing and desensitizing. Context people, context before condemnation. Russel meant for the video to help and offer a moment of reflection. What good is it to defame someone who is offering support? You don’t have to consume everything he offers in his channel, if you see something you don’t like, that is no reason to be mean and throw dirt.

C'mon man, not Deepak Chopra

Thanks, Russell. I enjoyed this.

Deepak has some nutty ideas when it comes to like metaphysics and whatnot, but transcendental meditation as it’s called is a useful practice.

He's doing yogic sleep - nodding off!

i'm a simple man: i see Deepak Chopra, i downvote

What is the difference between this technique and Transcendental Meditation (TM)?

love the podcast..he is most fun alive rather than a book.,salute
