Mindfulness Meditation - Guided 10 Minutes 

the balloons are a really good method to distance yourself from your thoughts. I found it really helpful!

Has anyone else felt like that was the quickest 10 minutes of their lives?

I started reading the comments (which is usually a mistake on youtube videos) and just wanted to point out what lovely humans the people who have commented are :)

The balloon trick amazed me guys , whenever i do meditation the intrusive thoughts were not in my control ,but in this balloon way they went out , i am in tears right now , i wanna thank you from bottom of my heart , i wish you a achieve a lot of success and happiness in your life 🙂

Thank you so much... I'm a 17 year old guy that goes to a school full of caring people but I still cannot help but feel judged all the time... I've been really suffering and my mind has been on full throttle for too long, I always feel like everything is too much for me. I use youtube as a remedy. I watch my favorite youtubers and they make me laugh and smile more than I do with my friends in real life. No matter who i'm with, i feel so... different, I feel so boring and it has destroyed my confidence in any thing I do. My family can't afford to get me a therapist or anything of the sort. These videos, though i just found them today, have helped me so much already. Thank you from the bottom, sides, middle, and top of my heart.

These videos are helping me over come my addiction to alcohol. Any time I get a craving I listen to one of these and by the time it's over the craving is gone and I am calm and relaxed. This is so helpful! Thank you!

I listen to this every morning! It's part of my morning 'routine' to help me maximize my day. I've found that using a combination of mindfulness meditation, practicing gratitude, and a cold shower in the morning helps me slow down my mental chatter and keeps me focused on the day. Thank you for uploading!

Didn’t even realize the video was over till an ad started playing and made me jump lol

MY SCHOOL USES THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY WE HAVE A WHOLE PERIOD DEDICTATED TO IT LMAO

Mindfulness is the key to our inner peace and internal happiness. If you're reading this I believe you're in the right place and you can achieve this. Sending you Peace and Love 💖🙏🏼💖

Thank you, it's 4am and I'm very ill and cannot sleep, this helped me release all my stress of exams and bad thoughts. I really appreciate the work gone into this to help others.

“ they don’t control you, you have control over them” that’s the source of my hope

so im have never done any sort of meditation before and can't sit longer than 2 minutes without being bored. i did the full 9 minutes and oh my gosh. i totally just zoned out. i did not feel it was 10 minutes at all and didnt want to open my eyes. when i did, i was literally floating. feel so light. definately need to do this daily

Anyone else has anxiety problems and have lot negative thoughts that scare him and make his heart feel ready to blow.

We're in the middle of the covid 19 pandemic right now and my anxiety level is giving me even more anxiety. I needed this.

This didn’t even feel like 10 minutes it felt like 5 min I was like wait .. that’s it ?? Haha it was very calming 🥺

How the heck did a 10 minute meditation feel like 30 seconds!!! That was my first time seriously trying to meditate.... that felt so good! Felt connected

Does anyone notice that his voice is soo calm?!

i cried the first time i did this meditation, i've been having a hard time controlling my thoughts. i hope this helps me

This meditation temporarily cured my depression, anxiety, PTSD. The first I did it, I passed out from relief. When I woke up, I felt refreshed, relaxed, in a blissful state. I listen to this at least once a week. It has helped me tremendously. Thank you!

This 10 minutes has been the most peaceful 10 minutes I’ve experienced in months. Thank you.

Wishing everyone reading this comment ALL THE VERY BEST in doing the BIGGEST and quite frankly TOUGHEST CLEAN UP to be done in your entire life - Cleaning the GARBAGE inside our mind and making it CALM, SERENE and full of POSITIVITY and GROWTH. Let’s get this done together.

I read 10 pages of kobe's book and he said if your body feels like meditating, meditate... so I'm here now cuz I would love to be one of the greats one day. RIP Kobe Bryant and everyone who was on board...

This literally felt like 2min

I love this so much. I do it every day. thank you

Cat jumped on me in the middle of this. Scared me half to death XD She's purring now, this is what it feels like to be mindful

Some interesting thoughts I'd like to share... My Experience with Meditation Mindfulness meditation is great tool you can use to help clear your mind from the myriad sea of thoughts that randomly pop in and out of existence in your head which prevent you from seeing the world for what it really is. Just started taking it seriously and played around with it recently and wow, it truly is such an amazing feeling when you transition in and out of that meditative state. Coming out of it, you become more fully aware of your surroundings. You're no longer lost in thought (at least for a while, depending on how effective your meditation is) and you become more focused with whatever you're doing. There's just this burst of excitement after you come out of it and you're just fascinated by everything around you. It's like you've been born back into this world again. Coming out of mediation feels great and improves your perception of reality, but that's only one part of the experience. When you successfully enter the meditative state is where things start getting interesting. The state of nothingness- no thought or feeling at all, IS the meditative state. Letting go of your thoughts and being a thoughtless poo is a bit hard and tedious at first (for those that are so used to constantly thinking/worrying all the time), but over time, with practice, you'll get better at releasing your mind from your thoughts and eventually enter that state of nothingness faster*Maybe the longer you remain in that state, the higher the form of consciousness/view of reality you will come back with?*. Your thoughts of what other people think of you, your anxieties, your worries; all the bullshit you're thinking that's preventing you from actually doing the things that you want to do- everything just shuts off and you enter this new state of existence that's separate from both your mind and your body... A little taste of nirvanna It's such a euphoric, blissful state to be in. Some call it Jesus, nature, god, your higher self, whatever that thing is; you start feeling this strong, deep connection to something that's greater than you (at least from my experience) Transitioning back into the world from that state is even more bizarre, haha. It's like you've just came out of your mother's womb, or you've awaken from this really deep hypersleep. You're basically brought back into this world with a refreshed state of mind and you start becoming more focused and aware of this game we're all participating in. You're all like, wow, I just came out of that nothingness, and here I am now. Maybe that's what these luminaries: Tesla, Einstein, Newton, Mozart, the Buddha, etc- have gone through. Maybe it's this realization and intense concentration on reality that allowed them to play the game more efficiently and/or produce such great works? Gah, here I go again lost in thought, spouting out this mindless brabble like some kind of crazed lunatic again... I guess it's about time I enter that state again; I really need to get that firm, fully focused grip on reality. Definitely need to do a vlog on this sometime in the future

Its great to see how the ancient wisdom of INDIA (yoga and meditation) is being adapted all over the world!

This guide has been helping me to keep my anxiety and panic attacks under control. I cannot thank you enough for that! ❤😌🙏

This video gave me one of the best meditative experiences I ever had. Thank you!

April 11, 2020 Saturday Morning 10:10 AM I'm feeling a lot more in control of my actions, thoughts, and feelings. I'm starting to have positive automatic responses. I want to be kinder to my body. I want to be healthier. I want to be able to use my body to it's limit. Sending love and positivity

I just did this meditation thing for the first time with this video, I cried. I have a lot of mental chatter going on right now and I think I have to add some meditation to my daily life. Everything is going to be okay. I can handle this. Thank you.

I was so relaxed and focused in the last sentence you've told that I took a scare, it's as if I had repende being brought to this world again, after making a trip to a place far away in space and time.

I have listened to a lot of 10 minute meditations and this one is the best! A good balance between voice guidance and silence. Plus his voice, it's so calming!

His voice is so relaxing i almost slept.

Been years but this one still my most favorite meditation video on RU-vid ❤

This helped so much. I'm glad for the pauses you leave, and then that you came back in to tell us we can return to life whenever, but are welcome back at any time. It made me feel like I wasn't alone in this. Your channel is wonderful.

At first when I heard about mindfulness I honestly thought it was a load of rubbish but once I was shown it from my first experience It genuinely took so much of my stress away. I'm a 17 year old student really struggling with the stress and anxiety of school at the moment, I felt like I was stuck and had no way of reliving this stress that was seriously affecting me. These guided meditation videos have helped me so much, stress is so underrated in young adults and teenagers, depression and self harm numbers are rising year on year. If mindfulness was taught in schools and collages I believe it would really benefit a lot of young people with the stresses that they are faced with today. There's not enough help out there for teenagers such as myself and this is why they become quickly sucked into the depression hole with no way of knowing how to get back out. So I want to thank the people who make these videos because I'm sure they're really benefitting a lot of people just like me.

6 years later of daily meditation practice - this was the video that started it all. Thank you so much for this - for anyone on this path - these videos are amazing for an introduction until you are ready to do it without any guidance and just with yourself.

Lovely meditation, thank you.

I feel loose after meditating as if I was massaged.

One tip for all is to have a Mantra. Repeat that mantra. It doesnt have to be Om. But your mantra. Ex. "I am free". Repeat this mantra in your head for the 10 minutes that you are doing meditation. While doing the things mentioned in this video. Having a mantra further increases your focus and helps to prevent thoughts coming in. Slowly when you have mastered this then you can try without the mantra!

I'd like to have a version with no sound effects on the background. The voice alone is very soothing. I think it would be a more powerful experience.

When I imagine my thoughts as color baloons and let them go driven away by the wind to the sky... I cannot control myself and tears begin to flow down...

I listened to this two years ago for my first ever meditation when I was battling crazy panic disorder/OCD thoughts at 20. After months of constant listening and practice I found peace within myself and it is all thanks to your meditation ! Though I kind of lost my way the past month again and i'm back in the deep end of anxiety. So I just recently remembered that I found comfort in this video, It's a very hard journey indeed but reading the comments and taking in the comfort from this video I know it's something I can handle. So thank you so much Honest Guys, you inspire me to create positive change in this world and you should be proud that you help millions people.

This is my go to guided meditation whenever I need a quick pick me up. It always does the job! Thanks honest guys!

I‘ve tried hundred of guided meditation here on youtube and this is by far the best one. Thank you!

When he said the thing about listening to your heart beat it was like a switch and my thoughts were gone. My whole body relaxed and I was suddenly fully present. This was amazing, thank you!

Perfect for. Someone who has ANXIETY ISSues

thank you for this video ,,this video made me realise that because of my autisme i,m always mindfull ,,maybe a bit to mindfull ,,all my senses are very very sensitive

sitting in a dark room with a salt lamp in the middle and loads of crystals laid out my mum thinks I'm a satanist

The music in this is so wonderful. The whole thing has helped me calm my overactive mind. I look forward to dropping in to this magical world. Thanks

"you are not controlled by your thoughts. you can acknowledge that they are simply that: thoughts. they proceed from you, but they do not own you. you control them." helps me every single time

I have been a Paramedic for 9 years and have personally struggled with Anxiety. This video has revolutionised my life and the way I view things. A long with some research around mindfulness and other videos. I share this video and channel with my patients who are suffering from anxiety and depression. I do everything I can to spread the message about Mindfulness and its many health benefits. Thank you.

When i focus on my breath i start to breathe manually. I just cannot let go the manual breathing and whole video passes with me trying to start breathing freely and set some breathing rythm. I need to get distracted in order to get my breathing in tact. Any tips??

i don’t know why, but after this meditation session, i cried a little. i guess it was just relief or something cause i found this very helpful.

I've been meditating for just 6 months and this is one of the best I've found, very hypnotic and balancing.... thank you 💞

This was my first time trying meditation and I straight up cried letting go of my balloons... that was powerful. Much thanks to you lovely blokes. I will be doing this regularly as a spiritual purge.

Am I the only one who loves the sound of his voice? His voice is so soothing.

I felt like my head was spinning around...

I'm unsure what comes from this. I'm a motorcycle accident survivor and I have TBI. I have this uncontrollable laughter so my speech therapist recommended mindfulness techniques.

This really helps with my OCD and anxiety :) thank you 😊 x

I'm doing meditation for few weeks and I felt big change in me

very useful for stress people who needs to find relaxation.

I take ADHD medication, and it tends to make my heart POUND. This morning the pounding was quite bothersome and wouldn’t go away, so I decided to try some mindfulness. My mom has always recommended meditation to me, but I’ve just brushed it off and never really tried it. But now that I did... whoa. It was such a special experience and it genuinely helped to calm down my heart rate. Thank you so much for this video, I’ll definitely try this again very soon.

That was kinda spooky at first..sounded like Vincent Price LOL. But I liked it, thanks for that.

Been Suffering with Anxiety issues since i was a very young boy, now 42 years old, and without RU-vid and these videos, i'd be so anxious all the time, i couldn't probably even function that well. Thanks so much for having these available

Wow, the 10 minutes seemed to last only 2 minutes. I wish the 10 day Vipassana had been the same. "Start again"...

I wish everyone would be more open to meditation..it’s so beneficial. This was the most calm I’ve felt in weeks! I need to get back into meditation for sure.

You guys are my favourite on youtube! Not only do I regularly visit for my own use but I choose to use these videos during my coaching sessions with others. Is there a way these can be quickly sorted into video lengths to identify what might be available for the time we have available on any given day? I absolutely love your stuff, many thanks for posting these for all of us all to enjoy and benefit from.

Hey. Sometime it's hard for me to function, for example this morning was tough because of panic attacks. Yet, I still have to manage a lot of things in my life, as I'm in charge of many projects because I always want to push my boundaries and not let me be dictated by my anxieties. Still, sometime it is very tough, and this morning, this video helped me through it. Thanks.

very nice and uplifting,made me feel really calm.We are slaves of our own thoughts,quote from eckhart tolle: There is a huge amount of suffering that is generated not by the actual challenges of life,but by the fictitious problems that the mind generates.

This is my favorite mindfulness meditation I've found anywhere.

Wow I successfully meditated. I was so focused on being mindful of my surroundings that I didnt realize that the meditation ended. lol. This was nice 💜

First video I’ve found that’s allowed me to drift into a deep sense of relaxation. The balloon visualisation is a massive game changer, the chatter in my head can be overbearing at times for me. SO grateful to have found this video and channel :’)

That was nice. I feel like I woke up from a really great nap, and this time I wasn't plagued by constant, disruptive yawning like I normally am when trying to meditate.

I was broken into pieces the moment I confronted my weakness. I was agitated by the fact that I had reacted in such a way when the person had not even been speaking to me directly I frequently encountered these situations, and the following was my fleeting mechanism: 1. I listened to music or watched a film to shift my focus away to something irrelevant 2. I went to a nearby cafe. 3. I made unnecessary phone calls with friends and gloated about something I continuously practiced physical relaxation methods instead of choosing to escape. The coffee shop truly was the optimal place to practice. I realized why I had wanted to go home early before. At home, no one would attack my vulnerability.

Fastest 10 minutes of my morning! This meditation is a pleasant experience and the only one I've found that relaxes me in the morning. ♥️

This is the best guided meditation on RU-vid. Your words enlighten my mind and soul. I will make this a daily routine. Thank you so much for uploading.

thanks for this video! legendss!!!

Love it, great meditation, thanks so much! 💛 Many sweet and magical blessings for this channel and all its subscribers! 💛

Just to let u know my Grandad died this morning and ur meditation vid has really helped me to calm down and process the situation. 👍

Ok so I’m not sure what just happened at 7.49 I woke to the sound of running footsteps outside !! No one there that I can see lol !

I listen to this almost everyday. I have borderline so my anxiety goes to the roof, when I listen to this I'm calm I'm fine there's nothing bothering me. It's so helpful.

I feel like I fell asleep....

This meditation saved me from one of the deepest depressions I have fallen into years ago, I did it today after a long time (remember If you are in a hole, stop digging, get out)

Love it ❤

Honest Guys-- I have been using your videos consistently over the past year to deal with anxiety and just overall angst. I can't begin to tell you how beneficial they have been. Recently, I've really noticed just how profound an impact they have had on my sense of well being and I just want to say THANK YOU! I love that you added a mindfulness video as I practice it daily as well. I recently wrote a piece on mindfulness for the Wall Street Journal if you want to check it out--> www.wsj.com/articles/can-mindfulness-help-students-do-better-in-school-1424145647. Thank you again and keep the amazing videos comin'!

I’m challenging myself and trying to meditate for 30 days and I have to say this was an awesome guide to begin with. Thank you!

old Indian classic yoga way to meditate just by the charged name. vipassana

how do i know if i’m actually being mindful? after a few minutes of feeling peaceful and in the now, a funny memory occurred to me and i almost started laughing but i had to let it go, like a balloon. is this normal?

This one was great guys :) The music was particularly awesome. For some reason it occurred to me during this meditation that Rick's voice brings me into a state of allowing almost instantly :)

I literally use this before bed about 4 times a week

This is the video that got me into meditating 2016 in my junior year of high school. Now 23, my first ever( 10 day) meditation retreat is now a week away. Props to this video of getting me over the hump of meditating and making it a habit in my life. Beyond excited for the retreat, will be back to update you guys !!

Hey. I feel so much refreshed now.. Thank you!

Lovely, the music is beautiful. Put my mind at peace after all the stressful news in the world right now.

It was weird. When it was time to let go of the colored balloons (represented by my own thoughts), my head kept on moving forward and backward, just like lying my head on the waves of the sea. It was smooth yet continuous. The moving stopped after the meditation. In the end, I felt like I was in another world, attaining personal peace that I sought for months. I felt the comfort and confidence that I once had. Thank you for making these kind of videos. May they serve as instruments of attaining inner peace.

hi guys love your stuff can't begin to tell you s how much you're mindfulness has got me trough the last couple months if had a very bad time of it couldn't live in my own head and I just want to say thank you keep up tour amazing work 👍💟

Thank you for all your uploads you have inspired my mind and as a result my Channel Gratitude and Blessings my friends

I want to say thank you so much TheHonestGuys! This video is my favorite. I keep going back to it for anxiety/panics, stress, sleep, and just for meditating. Once I found this video my anxiety started to get better and I still use this video. Though I do love this video, can you guys make a panic attack talkdown? Something to remind me that I'm just afraid of fear and I will be ok, I won't get worse or stuck like that forever. If you can make the talkdown at least an hour that would be great because it takes me an hour to start feeling "hey I think I'm winding down". I think what I like this mindfulness meditation video compared to other guided meditations I've tried is that there's music in the gaps between speech that I can focus on instead of my anxiety. When I'm panicking I feel I can't me alone with my thoughts, so some music would be nice when you're not talking. ;) Thanks and sorry for so much input!
