Stress Relief Mindfulness Meditation Exercise
I feel like every time I pray I always feel like a negative energy come my way. N something crazy always happen to me. That's why I feel so scare to prayer.
I haven't meditated in a long long time and this is a great illustration on how to start (over), thank you. Peace
The gong sounds really nice!
So is mindfulness meditation exactly the same like Vipassana?
Good questions, yet too complex for instant answers in this forum. Depth of effort, devotion to something beyond yourself, motivation and sound guidance are the foundations of progress in developing a meditation practice. You must work closely with an authentic teacher for best progress.
Does mindfulness (vipassana) within itself give rise to higher states of consciousness? Also, will it increase the level of compassion we can extend onto others? And if so, how long would such achievements take? I just want a rough idea (six months, perhaps a year, maybe even a decade; I don't know) thank you.
Any thought, feeling or sensation is a temporary state. Meditation creates enough space around experiences to just be with them without identifying with them as our 'self' or make our life shrink within limiting sensations and thoughts. It is the spaciousness which gives rise to seeing we are beyond all these states of mind, thought, feeling and sensations.
In-depth questions require a deeper answer for which this forum is inadequate. If anyone is dealing with intense feelings which feel overwhelming, stop meditation for the time being, seeking additional personal guidance from either a licensed health care professional or an advanced meditation instructor with vast experience.
Good question. Rather than "focus on breathing" try a more gentle noticing of the breathe. Awareness can be spacious, open and relaxed rather than focused like a laser beam. Breathe into the space around with a feeling of relaxed awareness. Or, sit outdoors while seeing the sky. Let the breathe be natural, uncontrolled or contrived.
I have anxiety, and i noticed that because i was suppossed to be breathing and focusing on that, it gave me anxiety… is that suppossed to happen? how can i calm myself down and not acknowlege the fact that im suppossed to be focusing on the breathing?
The sound helps a lot. Especially when I am under stress and my head is aching. The sound clears away my mind.
Although your voice was calming, The loud tones were very distracting and disturbing…….. 🙁

a peaceful practical introduction—–you seem to embody what you're teaching, I love the approach, the images, the gong and your floating right hand: but when I breathe and relax I tend to get sleepy and nod off, which isn't the point, I don't think. It happened as I was concentrating on this clip. Advice?
thank you
Such a wonderful video i haven't slept for two days i think ill be able to go to sleep now X3
@insaneyanish Hello. Have you tried lying down instead of sitting? If you are not able to sit with ease then breathing will be very difficult and meditation will be impossible. It's okay to lie down if it enables you to do the meditation. Good luck! I am starting a group wellness effort…we will be streaming healthy cooking, yoga, meditation and other alternative treatments live. ustream.tv/channel/joy-s-wellness-trip
i like this guy the dingggg was cool it made me feel relaxed and almost fall asleep… hes good and i laughed about the floating clouds ha cooollll 😛 stefi
@insaneyanish Everything is energy, esp the food you take. So meat contains lots of negative or bad energy, the amount of suffering are stored in this fear, hate and anger. Just be veg. and over time you will notice the difference.
@fourgates4591 @insaneyanish It is all in the emphasis and how you are breathing. Anxiety is about anticipation of something in the future. There are thoughts behind the anxiety the will clear up if you stay in the moment, not worring about future events so much. Also, check out our website at FourGates and see the title Loving-Kindness Meditations. This clears the anxiety based thinking causing the discomfort. Where there is an effect there is a cause, treat the cause and it will clear up.

Something I've been noticing is that when I try these sort of meditations, with every breath, I experience high levels of anxiety. I was wondering if this is normal, and what you (or anybody reading this) would suggest to try and work with this. If it helps, it feels like tightness and a searing hotness and acidic feeling in the chest. It really sucks, and I want to be able to surpass this.
Heck, even after I took a break with it, after doing this it's still evident.
@thekobes Hello Friend..Go to our website at Four Gates. We sell many sizes of Gongs. I think the URL is also mentioned in the video. Blessings and kind wishes…Christopher
i realy want a rin gong i have been looking all over
for one
any tips for where to get one
"do not engage in them" that really resonated with me
Thank you so much!
I don't know if it the bell itself or some recordeing distortion but I found that bell sound had some very high overtones that were quite painful. I'm sorry I couldn't watch the entirety of the video, maybe if the sound quality was imporved.
Nice video, love the way the bell resonates.
Sound it energy. Positive energy releases healing endorphins(hormones) in your body which creates a sense of well being, happiness and joy.
Listen to mantra, uplifting music and healing sound daily.
Blessings and warm wishes,
Christopher
Yes, "guiding" your thoughts can be helpful, however, engaging the mind will activate it more, rather than resting the mind. What ever you focus on will grow. Even positive thought can become habituated.
Warm wishes
Christopher
i need a robe where do i get one?
Christopher – thanks for the guide. I found that it can be useful if you concentrate on guiding the thoughts to restfulness with positive thoughts. When I focus my mind, your voice comes back and tells me that my mind may wander… and that causes it to wander, it would be more productive to say, focus on your breath, and repeat the actions that we need to do. Just a suggesttion for your next video.
i dont knoe why but i want to hear that sound ring again and again
