I don't usually talk about stuff but you have saved my life. Your videos are so helpful. Following this video was my first attempt at meditation and afterwards when I opened my eyes I found myself in tears, but I was smiling at the same time. I found a way out that's relaxed my mind and body. I cannot thank you enough
I spent 13 years in prison when I started to meditate towards the last 3 years. The vibrating, the oneness, the bliss were beyond words. I began playing basketball (which I never had done up until then because I couldn’t have my ego bruised by not being good enough), but I began to put my emotional reactions in place. Walking the court yards alone in the rain, entranced by the moon, trees leaves dancing in the wind etc….I could go on and on. We are not our thoughts. That’s liberating.
Dear Teal, i am practicing the same meditation since many years, You explained it perfectly! I just want to add that when You arrive to observe what you call the "silence" and maybe just little further, You will feel so weightless and joyful that you will perceive the happiness in the very state of being, and that will change everything... Life is beautiful
i have never understood what meditation is until now. i've never even seen an explanation of what the state actually is, as if people are just supposed to take it at face value without understanding it like a religious practice, and eventually realize what it is and its purpose, maybe, over time; that's why i never practiced meditation, because i didn't understand the point. you explain things in the same way that i understand things and hope to be able to explain things. very glad to have found you, but i am not surprised that i did.
As a teenager and almost adult i suffered from intrusive thoughts. I did not want to loose control of my body so i watched my thoughts everyday every second. Now i can observe them neutral. Guess thats some kind of meditation too, So you could say that these "disease" are some kind of blessing.
Washing Machine Ka Bhoot There is a difference between thoughts and intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are usually created by a negative emotional state, ie anxiety. They pop up in your head when you don` t expect them there and they cause even more anxiety and distress....Now, if you are trying to think of new ideas,solutions or whatever and a thought related to that pops up, it is not intrusive, it is related to the activity and it is welcome to be there. Get it?
PhilBo eh, if u dun want to lose control over ur body then u still suffer from your ego that creats fear of losing control when there s nothing to be controled and that is not meditation XD. May be just may be, u scare of your thought (some of it) so u need to watch it every second to be not out of control?
Bruno Moon intrusive thoughts not cause anxiety or distress, its just that if u want them to cause anxiety or distress it will actually be, and if u re mindfulness then u can choose otherwise. The same apply to every kind of thought, thoughts are just thoughts but u r the one that choose how it means or works.
You have a way of explaining the mechanics of meditation that I have not heard elsewhere. I like how you explain it without that aura of "otherworldliness" that is so pervasive among new agers.
It took a long time for me to understand what mindfulness is, and how to practise. From retrospective the explaination in this video is the best I have heard so far.
Teal's speach is the bright day of my week. She is beautiful and calming and sophisticated. I wanted to do meditation regularly, but I always arrive home and waking up feeling too tired. Probably i miss the major point with not using meditation as a stress relief that would end this witches circle of dragging my tired body around all the time. I feel she really turns me back on track.
Hello Teal Swan, I have been listening to you, since end of the year 2016. Read a lot of reports on your life. You had a tragic life in your younger years. I knew most all the mediation techniques, exercising techniques to calm our mind and body. The third eye is about our intuition. Begins with our sight, hearing, sense of smell, sound, touch feelings. ANd our breathing in 4 seconds inhale and exhale. State of concentrating of our conscious and sub-conscious.
I feel like I'm finally at the place where I can understand and apply her teachings. Before it was ego based, perhaps. Now I simply feel excited to progress and learn from this woman! Thanks Teal for your videos!
I love how you explained what mindful meditation is. Ive been trying this meditation out and it works wonders. I've slowly been realizing that I have choices on how I want to react to emotions. Choices meaning on how to react to negative emotions. A good example would be anger. My mind comes to a state of awareness and it sort of feels like I'm in a crossroad. In this crossroad, I have a choice on whether to act violently to that anger or simply let go of the anger and try a peaceful alternative. It's like you become aware at that moment everytime and you can realize that reacting to the anger in a violent or unhealthy way, never really worked. What I mean by "never really worked," I'm simply stating that I've become aware that through my years living on this Earth, I have noticed that my classic reactions to anger never solved the peoblem, never eased my mind, and it never ended in a positive manner. This meditation practice is extremely helpful for all of us. Whoever read this long-ass comment, I'm going to safely assume that you're interested. And if you are; try this meditation. Teal; you're awesome. Namaste.
MEDITATION: I have never heard such anatomically correct and helpful guidance in meditation. I can be very " effective" in my 10 min meditation thanks to you. Only deep love for humanity, deep intention to heal and love us is what makes this so clear, helpful and effective. Thank you for your love and generosity!
Sometimes ppl like myself are crippled by emotions such as fear or anger. I have catalepsy and sometimes intense experiences render me physically incapable so i withdraw from being fully submersed in my emotions. I am afraid to feel sometimes, but I do and never try to resist it. Feeling makes me empathetic to others.
travelling my path i meet many people some like minded and some not, each to their own but i am so grateful to have met you, even being virtual. This is such a basic but powerful way to be in the “I Am” State loved even for someone who is not new to meditation. I look forward to connect with your energy along the way. 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻💞
Thank u u teach in a step by step way that I find very easy to follow or maybe I finally reached a place in my development where I am ready to b mote attentive whatever the reason I find I can finally stay in a constant state of awareness in my day to day activities and the constant chatter of my thoughts has been greatly reduced. .I seem to have reached the point where I can choose silence at will and b mindful of a thought but choose to put more attention to the thought or let it go..my goal has been to learn why I experienced so many spontaneous spiritual things without trying since my early childhood..they made me aware of the fact we equal the sum of all our parts but so much more though I can't prove this to anyone it has always been fact.for me helping choose to live with this concept in mind no matter the hell I found myself in..there has been many..finally I have begun to explore the reason for the spontaneous experiences that have had such a profound affect on my choice of reaction to the horrible actions of others that seem to happen to me over and over in my life..if I chose these experiences of being on the receiving end of other people's bad intent or reckless actions then why?What is it I am meant to learn by choosing such ugly experiences?this brings me to my present state trying to find these answers that u seem to have.I have learned how to ask you questions finally so if u see any of my comments I hope u will notice my email coming soon..I really have to converse with u In some way. .I'm following my intuition here and a certain guiding force that says u have some answers I need..in all my life and researching I have heard of very few who have experienced what I have making it very difficult trying to find the answers I need for my personal growth but my intuition tells me you r the one I been searching for to help me understand.but my questions r not covered in your videos that I've been able to find tho u touch on them in many..so hard to communicate my thoughts with a phone so I will try to email my questions ..I hope if u see any of my comments it will make u notice my email in case u r overwhelmed with so many I may get lost in the mix..the importance of my quest for answers could not b greater and has become almost urgent due to circumstances in my life this explains my writing this way as I'm very sure u will feel my need.. actually I'm counting on it
Her new book "Shadows Before Dawn" is extremely wonderful. It is an easy read, even young teens would/will find it very comprehensible and also find the techniques very doable. This video is excellent, too. And the setting, oh wow! Beautiful - she included.
I've just have started learning about meditation and this was so helpful in understanding how to start without the frustration. Understanding how our mind work through the Meditation, when we first start learning. Thank you Teal
Thank you so much, I have struggled for so long with presence and this helps me to observe everything that I’m feeling and stay in the observing state. THANK YOUUUU!!!! ❤️
Thank you. You can observe the observer. You can observe the observer observing the observing and so on.. up to an almost infinite number of observers.
This is Relaxing and de-stressing as I've been through a lot lately it's great to know that There are people like you who can heal the mind and heart and other things in life can fall into place
Thank you, I've been looking for a guidance my therapist spoke about understanding the observer self. I will be using this guided meditation to build my mindfulness muscle so I can do this on my own.
As a child I played in the woods everyday without a care, nothing but great memories, Setting meditation in nature seems like the perfect place however I would not trust being alone in the woods nowadays. Seeing Teal in that setting makes me nervous for her. There are other options but I do feel really sad about the woods. Feeling safe and secure has to be a starting point.
That is really a Thing I do mostly intuitive since years. For a Long time I was afraid of being absolute subjective because that would mean that I Show my self to others. Over the years this daily mindfulness of my own Feelings and Actions has ironically brought me to Meditation and more self realization. Now I have to learn to be much more subjective at times because that's a beaty too. But I feel like this mindfulness helps really to see the truth in a Situation because you can watch your self really neutral how you react to an Information like a spiritual message. It is then that you really quickly manage to filter those negative and resistant believes out of your mind. Especially esotheric concepts are interesting because you can watch yourself disbelieving in them and realizing that it is that resistance that is Holding you back from the very Things you want.
Omg I had depersonalization for 1.5 years and I started doing this before seeing this video and it was under control! Now I just got to get out of derealization please a video on that Ms.Teal ....or Mrs idk lol I love ur teachings so much! :)
Teal Swan, you are absolutely beautiful and very smart to boot. I really enjoy your videos. So kind of you to post videos that help people. I would love to have A lady like yourself.
I'm trying to learn mindfulness meditation because I have borderline personality disorder and bipolar depression 1. I'm in the beginning of my treatment and am trying to find something to calm me when triggers arise so I can keep myself from having a terrible meltdown or bad rage. I read that this could help, and I can see how. thank you Teal ☺
I used to switch instantly into the observer self when I needed it as a child. And I emptied my mind and opt into the silence (because it gave me relief, calm and energy) to the degree I was afraid of leaving my body and beeing unable to return. (And possibly become posessed because of this) and stopped doing it... now as an adult Im the oppositeXD im an obsessive thinker....
