In this lighthearted invitation, spiritual leader Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche shares three steps to help you accept the ebb and flow of your emotions and learn to meditate anytime, anywhere.

Thank you for this! I've always found myself hyper aware of my mental illnesses i.e. agoraphobia, acute anxiety and generalized persistent anxiety, ptsd/trauma and adhd. This brings so much understanding to why my mind does this, I always thought it was my mind trying to cope and now I know why!!

I was lucky enough to meet Rinpoche just when he emerged from his wandering retreat In Sherabling monastery. His presence was incredibly powerful. He is a totally enlightened being but on top of that he is a humble decent man. No airs or graces about him, he genuinely wants the best for everyone he meets.

GOOD JOB, Ted talk!!! Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is such a gem to this world. Putting him on here, to be able to reach millions with his enlightened wisdom, you’ve created such good karma by spreading the dharma. ♥️
When he dropped the beads, it was very powerful because I noticed my panic, and then not immediately going to pick it up was a learning moment for me. Super powerful practice for the beautiful mind.
Everytime when i watched just feeling so touching
He is a true meditator. His father was highly respected as an achieved meditator.
There is Humility, Humbleness , energy, positive vibes, joyful , life and Wisdom .. Thank you Master 🙏 Namo Buddha 💐 🙏
What a great Master, he is the reason why I'm meditating. Since i said i wanna do something against my bad thoughts, depressed World, a stranger in my Body, not calculateable happenings in and outside, from horror to horror, anxiety ruled mind, panic by panic, felt lost in my borderless Imagination of hopelessness. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche gave me the courage. Just to sit down and to be with it, to stay friendly and to let it be as it is and now after 2 years. Meditating is a passion for me and these days are history. Now i'm living and loving the here and now. @all stay aware and keep care on oneself cultivate loving kindeness and compassion within and outer your world. 🧘

Not going to lie, I didn't know that pizza and meditation could go together. Life changing. Your eloquent rendering of meditation as a simple act of being present - seeing, hearing, feeling - is as refreshing as it is profound. It reminds us that the essence of meditation is not to silence the mind, but rather to tune in to the orchestra of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, without trying to conduct or control them. I particularly resonate with your analogy of awareness being like the sky, ever-present and unchanging, while our thoughts and emotions are like transient storms. It echoes what I often discuss on my channel about the benefits of daily mindfulness, the practice of deliberately paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgement. Just as you said, it's not about stopping our thoughts or achieving a state of eternal bliss, but about recognizing and accepting our mental states as they are.

He got enlightened for sure🙏❤️
I went on a ten-day meditation retreat taught by this guy. Good stuff! But then I went on a retreat taught by a westerner on the topic of :open Awareness" (which I did not know until just now was a Tibetan practice. It has been my experience that when Tibetans teach Tibetan Buddhism, it sounds very grounded and sensible, like this guy. But when westerners try to teach it, it sounds totally out there. This retriet was no exception. They kept saying "Sit but don't focus on any one thing" or "go outside and walk slowly back and forth, but don't be focused when you do it." This, of course, was the opposite of everything else3 I had been taught. Well, I don't know if this was their intention, and I don't think it was, but my mind rebelled by giving me strong, focused meditations. If they had told me to have strong, focused meditations, I probably would not have had so many of them.
I watched one of his video from 10 years ago and this man hasn't aged even a second. The power of meditation is incredible.

@@uncomfortabletruths7990 - Right from Veda to Upanishad’s and Gita it has been mentioned that self is pure awareness bliss. You are not mind your are not body you are not emotions but pure awareness or complete state of witness. It is due to maya or error or lack of awareness this realization is missing. But with this practice e played at the end you are trying to be experiencing the state of witnessing. Now with more such practice the intellectual enlightenment transformed to experiential enlightenment changing the entire life. Yogis remain in full bliss state and gains power to deal with any situation no matter it is inhuman.
Thank you for your wisdom Yongey. I am new at this and I am committed to find the truth. It has not been easy, but I am happy with the journey I am having. I wish you all a life full of love, abundance and awareness.
So grateful to be able to catch this. Thank you!
Such a lovely, free spirit
Wow it was interesting to hear his experience about his sensing of his body getting decayed during meditation. In Buddha teachings and guidelines to final goal which is eternal liberation, it is marked as one of levels/ states practitioners will experience which means also getting closer to that goal compared to normal people/ beings. I’m amazed and grateful. Also learnt some from this video. Thank you Master and Ted ❤
Dandapani, this is a profound exploration of the mind's complexities. Your insights are like a breath of fresh air in the age of distraction. Lisa Haisha, an incredible life coach truly appreciate the depth of your understanding during our recent retreat she really appreciate your greatness. Your ability to dissect and address this common challenge is commendable, and I'm grateful for the clarity you bring to the topic.

Alan Watts has an excellent discussion of how to enter the meditative state by listening - I use it regularly as some have put it on KZread with different music. I tried so many techniques with varying degrees of "success" but this instruction to use the ears to connect with awareness is damn near foolproof.
Meditation is simply ❤
I love him -I absolutely love him. Perfect combination of humor & understanding. Best qualities in a teacher!
Long life his holiness Mingur Rinpoche 🙏🏼🌺🙏🏼🌸🙏🏼🌷🙏🏼🌹🙏🏼
Love the way he puts his word so simple and beautiful - Our mind are like blue sky that are vast and beautiful. panics and thoughts are like a cloud to the sky. It doesn’t matter what or how many clouds comes and goes for sky. Its on you that need to connect that blue vast sky with those clouds. Be awareness, be presence. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

INDIA 🇮🇳 do have treasure of yoga & meditation since ages. Unfortunately new generation of India is inclined toward western culture as its a developing nation but people from developed countries are coming to India to learn yoga & meditation as they have all wealth & power but lack peace & satisfaction...Life is like a circle we get back to the point from where we have started . The more we collect the more we suffer. Simple life is the 🔑 key to happiness ladies & gentlemen. 😇
It is the knowing mind. I know that I am in pain. Or smell, hear, feel, think. So who are we really if there is always something inside us that can observe everything? It is pure, always there, and non-judgmental. And when we are in that awareness, we are already not the person with the pain.
Love you Bro 🌈🤣❣you are so good to share your experience and wisdom about how to deal with our🐒mind. Thanks for your joyful teaching 🌻🐞

Thank you very much Master🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had an interesting experience a few weeks ago. I had no intention to purposefully meditate while bathing, but here's what happened. I have a walk-in tub. It has jets in the back you can rest your back up against, below the seat at the back of your legs and in front of your legs near your shins. All around. I will submerge myself up to my chin off the seat. It's amazing. I have it nice and warn and all the jets on high. Once submerged I am aware of all the sensations of the warm water moving,the bubbles moving quickly around my body as I close my eyes. I relax and listen and feel everything with no distractions. It wasn't until I broke my awareness and sat on my seat that I was in a meditative state. I checked the time and a little over 30 minutes had passed. I see it as similar to listening to him ring the bowl 🥣. I had occasional thoughts pop in and out, but for the most part it was all about what I was feeling. I have meditated in the past mostly by watching my breath. I pay attention to my inhalation and exhalation. If I catch myself thinking I think "thoughts" and go back to my breath. This guy is wonderful. Amazing.
