Call it synchronicity but was going to ask for a talk on obsessive negative worrying about cruelty to animals and children worldwide. I tend to tape loop bad things I see or hear about in my head, that concern innocents. It brings me down even when I'm desperately try to be positive. Hope the kittens are doing well 😘

Think we can confidently say this is the only guided meditation on KZread where a cat's waters break

I am struggling with obsessive thoughts that keep me from properly loving the people closest to me. I burst into tears when I heard your voice saying "you are bigger than the thoughts and are able to transcend it and move beyond it". Such powerful TRUTH. It gets lost in our Societal Programming. Thank you for the timely reminder. Peace.

I was crying...and then laughing from an attempt to meditate as a beautiful magical moment. So now I'm "dying" to know about your 🐈 beautiful kitty.

in my opinion, meditation needs to be combined with mediation in action. by that I mean specifically taking a walk in a nice park

I don't have OCD and I'm certainly no expert on meditation, but I am an expert on dealing with the healthcare system and they have been no help. Medication seem to make things worse. but I do have a feeling that meditation will definitely help with OCD. As a matter fact, I do think meditation might be the only thing that can help me with my problem and I think I'm gonna try to get into the habit of doing it regularly. I tried it once before, 20 years ago, and it seemed like it would work if I Did it regularly, but it was hard trying to do it in a party house.

I was on a bunch of psychotropics, from Prozac to lithium to klonopin...none of it worked. I recently went to a chiropractor after a long stretch of time. He adjusted my spine and helped to end my cycle of obsessive thinking...(spinal manipulation can help to open your third eye, if you will) What helps me also, prayers and meditation, deep breathing and regular exersize. As soon as I stopped listening to quack doctors and started listening to my own body, things have vastly improved. All the best on your journey 💓✌☺

I find i am often thinking in fear of all the future possibilities that may or may not happen. Or i find myself in future potential conversations with people that will probably never happen. So meditation is the key. It calms down the thoughts and helps you realise when you are not present.

I have found that underneath every mental health issue there is ANXIETY and underlying anxiety is FEAR being one of our first basic instincts in which we use to protect ourselves from harm but rather than let fear consume oneself one should follow their fear for it is through following your fear and confronting it we overcome it and when we overcome it we free ourselves from it…

This was a near perfect video to watch. The beautiful vibe the cat brought, life giving life, was an additional bonus on an already peaceful and calm video. Calm seems to gravitate towards you. I can only imagine how many people surround you, to get a little bit of calm in their lives. Even the cat was affected by you. I hope she used your calm as a way to give birth. Beautiful video. Thank you

Hey Russel mate, I just wanted to say I've been dealing with pschiophrenia for the past year now, and thanks to you I have a way to reach serenity without the use of drugs or alcohol. You're doing a brilliant thing mate please keep going, you're honestly my hero x.

Your mama kitty profoundly displayed the cycle of life whilst you were discussing a death of a friend. My condolences,and my congratulations to your mama kitty giving birth!adorable and cute! Thank you for the meditation it helped. Skål🥰

The situation of him trying to help us to do meditation about not thinking, while his cat is meowing trying to give birth, made me laugh while trying to focus on his words. I couldn’t concentrate. I was like “mate , just pause and continue to recording later” lol Hope she wasn’t in pain, and her and the kittens are ok. Congratulations on the new members of your family

The video is couple of months old, yes the cat is alright and they decided to keep all the kitties, I think 5 or 6 of them. And yes, one has to try and learn to remain calm even when a lot is going on, and that is why this is in fact a good exercise. Cats do their thing completely on their own and she was alright shortly after.🥰

Me too I'm worried about the cat.😽

I obsessed over the way I think before the pandemic, like a cyclotron...Continue. The first time I attempt meditation, a cat goes into labor...

Cat going into labor while meditating with Russell. Life writes the best stories.

Watching in lockdown here in NZ. We'd had months of no cases until suddenly last Tuesday. Love Russell's channel and as a recovering addict living alone thank you so much for this video! Peace.

I really love this and I have to thank you very much! I plan to join in on your luminary. I have extreme PTSD from being shot randomly three and a half years ago and it has caused me to obsess more so than I used to, I'm well aware and in therapy and moving along well but at times I do not really obsess about the incident but I'm too aware of everything. Every word every thought every sound the sounds really bother me! What bothers me more is the unacceptance from my family, part of my family. And I cannot control them, I don't want to any longer and learn that they are narcissists. It is the saddest thing for me to realize but this incident has brought me to a new light and awareness of so many things. I am a new person from this a good person and I do my daily affirmations as well to get through it. Thank you again!

40 years old and I overthink massively about everything. Stops me being productive and having goals/ambitions. Thanks for this

"your mental environment is subject to your agency and your personal authority, particularly if you derive that authority from somewhere deeper..." this grabbed me. ❤️

Thank you so much for this video, I asked my guides for help 3 hours ago exactly when you posted this! Crying to them to help me let go of this anger, even though I have every right to be livid, I don't want to live with it, I don't want to pass it on to others. I want to be free of the obsessive thinking and negative feelings that come with it, regardless of what I'm dealing with... I really can't even believe you posted this right now, I'm a little shocked at how fast asking for guidance worked...

Brothers and sisters, still the mind and God will sing her song through each and every plant, animal, and object of her universe. All is one; everything speaks if we slow ourselves enough to listen.

Thank you so much for that Russell from the depths my heart thank you. I am in recovery and I've seen my life transform, getting out my head and into my body is the safest place to be for me and is something I try to practise daily because what goes on in my head is NUTS. Being able to do it with someone ie a community of people or yourself on youtube is incredibly helpful. A thousand loves and blessings.

I feel the same about not felling safe when I’m thinking about what others think about me like the government and stuff

Definitely need freedom from obsessive thoughts

When something like this happens we all need some help so thanks for these for Real

FFS you totally threw me off with the cat. I burst out laughing there 😂

Dude. You’ve changed. And I respect you 1000%

Thank you for all that you do and the time and effort you put into your work!

I've never cried and then laughed with relief within such a few minutes before, first time I've ever meditated like this, it's great!! I'm going to try it with my boys too!! :) Thanks Russel (Fellow Troubled Essex Boy)

I started to cry when this all began and your cat miaowing help me open up!🙀🥰thank you so beautiful all of this is much ❤️ 😻❤️‍🔥

Just woke up at 3:33am not unusual for me I have been an individual support worker for a person with mental health issues for 7 years and man have I learned some things but what I’ve learned mostly from my own journey and how I have love peace and calm within me like an ocean in motion is always being true to myself…Being true to yourself means you don't worry about pleasing other people; living by someone else's standards or rules. You don't care what people think of you. You live as your natural self. Without compromise….

WOW!! What a GURU the cat goes into labour and Russ just turns round and goes back to the moment💪🙏😇😍

Are you watching this because you’re trapped in your own thoughts 👌

Hi, I so look forward to listening to you every day! Thank you for your honest, unbridled, intelligent and intuitive thoughts on the “matters”✌🏼❤️

I can't stop thinking, obsessive thoughts. I'm stuck in my head and along came self loathing I mean true hatred, so I wake up with guilt immediately, then comes the internet KZread watch incessantly just to keep me from snapping going insane. I believe I already am. I haven't left my home in months and months I go to the Dr every 3 months and straight home. I don't like being raw out there. I'm terrified of people, even my own family. This is my life, there's not a lot to it but it's packed. Blessings Sir Russell 🇨🇦✌🙏🙏🙏

Not gonna lie... that was the best meditation I've ever had... I feel so good... I am the biggest smile... I am laughing internally in every place of my being... great meditation 🧘‍♂️... thank you very much Russell...

Tool said it best: "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind"

I'll be expecting newly born kittens in every video Russell. The bar has been raised.😂 I appreciate what you do man.

NOT ENOUGH CHEST!! seriously, this helps with what Im dealing with about a girl and my online communities I run. thanks

That was so sweet that you made time for your mumma kitty, it just made me melt when you said "she needs me" & her meow is so adorable even though I'm actually more of a bird person myself. 💞🐈🕉🌏

Don't pay the mind any mind...instead, focus on the experiencing and feeling of the moment. Kinesthetic instead of mental. Be fully aware. And regularly meditate...which is just sitting, being present, being silent, being still, and being fully aware.

I really needed this, thank you my friend. All the best to your cat and her kittens? Have a great day

As always, a massive help to starting my day and bringing calm back into my mind. Thank you.
