Hi all, Thomas here. This is a bit of a different video I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time. It doesn’t fit the typical Yes Theory adventure format and I wasn’t sure if people would care so for a long time I decided against it. I wrote this story 5 different ways and eventually decided that sharing my journey with mental health and how meditation has served me as an amazing companion through this, could help many that struggled the same way I have. This year in particular has been filled with unexpected challenges but we are feeling more and more like ourselves again. We are growing, learning and finding a new flow within our process that you will see the results of very soon. Excited to share and excited for more stories 💫 cheers to you all fellow Peace of Mind Seekers ✌️

Many are taught to ignore or not know how to express their emotions healthily and aren't guided by those emotions to be true to our authentic selves. I agree with you London. We need to address our whole being to be a whole being, otherwise we will have something missing which puts a hole in our being. With that empty space, parts of our true selves begins to seep out.

Sometimes. Emotions are also not always true because 95% of people have some sort of trauma and the nervous system responds with conditions anxiety even when the person is in a safe space. Artists like pablo Picasso was living in his gift , yet he killed him self. Loving someone else also isn’t all about an emotion because the heart is deceitful amongst all things. Emotions do mean out of alignment , but it’s easier said than done to simply “release” the thought or emotion.

​@@madlenj.4644 I know this is ages ago but you made me think of a quote. "The master looked at him and said, 'if you meditate four hours a day, perhaps you will transcend in ten years.' Thinking he could do better, the man then said, 'Oh, Master, what if I meditated eight hours a day, how long will it take me to transcend?' The master looked at him and said, "if you meditate eight hours a day, perhaps you will transcend in twenty years.' 'But why will it take me longer if I meditate more?' The man asked. The master replied, 'you are not here to sacrifice your joy or your life. You are here to live, to be happy, and to love. If you can do your best in two hours of meditation, but you spend eight hours instead, you will only grow tired, miss the point, and you wont enjoy your life. Do your best, and perhaps you will learn that no matter how long you meditate, you can live, love, and be happy." Moral of the story is: length doesn't matter, consistency does. I previously went about 300 days in a row meditating. Most days I only did 3 minutes worth of meditation. I didn't notice a huge difference while I was doing it but boy did I notice when I stopped!

As a Indian i was introduced to this meditation by my dad when I was 7 years old. Concentrating just on breathing which is called 'praanaayaamam'. I am 24 now. I am still practicing this.

I did meditated in 2020 during lockdown, when i was performing meditation, i was engulfed with past emotions and had no clue what to do about those bombarded thoughts and eventually quit after 5 months as those repeated mind patterns felt very hard to stop. This year in jan 2022 i was going through crippling anxiety as i was reminded/ triggered of my past mistakes, i decided to read the reading the book “Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle” and now in feb 2022 I finished 30 days meditation challenge from KZread and still going on ;). Now, i understand the essence of present moment, the essence of being which can’t be understood but felt and why meditation(breathing in and out) and observing your breathe is really important to help you reach your inner body to feel conscious presence within oneself. Thanks to the book which has a profound help on my healing journey. i highly recommend this book to those who is watching my comment and who is having a struggle to meditate because of their compulsive thoughts. My fav quote from this book is “ If there were no illusion, there would be no enlightenment.” :)

I did almost everything to become normal nothing worked... With no expectation I did mediation for a week (as I'm ready to take any step to become normal) and that week changed me..I still have those same problems , but it doesn't hit my heart (it's like water on lotus leaf) as I continue to meditate Im becoming a good human being, I stopped judging ppl which I did a lot earlier. Since I have seen the fruit of meditation I want my friends to get the same, but they laugh at me 😁 I request everyone who read this to try meditation atleast for a week , see the changes and continue.

Agreed. While you're young & fit enough, the body's recovery / detox mechanism is an automatic process you take for granted. Eventually that toxin residue builds up & if you're already habituated to the party lifestyle the chances are you're either going to fail to observe the early warning signs or you'll just ignore them until they reach a critical point your body/mind can't manage. That's the point at which you need to learn to reverse the damage & become more observant of the signals your body & mind send you. Nowadays I still get high off music & movement, I just swapped the intoxicants for sunlight, living foods & meditation.

I struggled to meditate for some time. I was expecting to receive some other world intelligence that would potentially shift my consciousness into enlightenment. When I realized that meditation was a means to healthy parenting of my mind and physicality and viewed meditation as nurture, I began to ease into it. The key for me was finding music that I could tone along with, creating frequency, vibration that is healing to the brain and CNS which is over stimulated for all of us in this age of technology. By engaging in the music, my focus goes to anticipating the changes in pitch and thoughts literally disappear. One can add oscillating colours to the inner landscape and shift their state of mind as well as their physicality as one affects the other. It has been said that meditation can be more restorative in a short amount of time than hours of sleep. It’s important to be comfortable, not assuming any “proper” form for meditation. Be kind to yourself, give it a try.

We can always start with our own self ✨

Two years ago I started having major panic attacks and I couldn't source what it was coming from. The chest pains were real, and I ended up going hospital out of fear I was having heart problems. It's a vicious cycle. I've luckily fallen out of that anxiety fuelled daily life thanks to the entirety of 2020 believe it or not! It gave me a full reset, and I believe that a change of lifestyle was needed. Regulating sleep patterns, eating healthily, and trying to avoid anything that affects my chemical balances (Alcohol, Weed, Coffee, Sugar etc). Sometimes you don't realise that your daily life can be a massive trigger because you're so used to it. Being able to reflect upon what in your brain is triggering anxious thoughts, or the feeling in general is a real game changer. I wish everyone the best with their own troubles, and I can say that meditation works wonders. Thank you for the video Thomas.

Got bit better after the surgery but since that caused pain while walking it still lingered. Only after I was allowed to message abdominal muscles ( had too wait 6 weeks for scar tissue to heal) and I got in to my psoas muscle was I able to get rid of all those thoughts. turns out that muscle is know as the flight or fight muscles because if it its tight your body and mind will be stuck in that state and can even affect your gut and hormonal health. From what I read it can be tight from even a foot surgery. That and some of the stuff scott mentioned above have been helpful along with making sure I go outside and get some morning sun ( The type of light your in can effect your hormones a lot). Mediation helped as well when I couldn't do much after the surgery but since then I find meditation to be easier then before

I never used to believe these kinds of videos till I actually was finally able to understand what meditation was really about. It's not about "not thinking" it's about believing in the power of the present moment. Even if I'm in immense pain I try to stop and move back from lashing out or reacting. Meditation can come in many different forms, you can figure out your own. I sometimes go for walks without my phone or just stay quiet for a few minutes no matter what thought comes to my head after a fight - I count those as mediation too and that's how I've been able to do it. Sitting quietly with my eyes closed doesn't work for me. And the most powerful realisation was the one where I understood that that was okay. It's about accepting things, letting go of what you wanted, but also not being disappoited or frustrated when you can't sometimes! Hope this helps somebody.

Always found meditation (& yoga) boring. But I got into a skiing knee injury and was bed bound for months. It messed me up badly, in all aspects. Gave meditation and yoga a chance and just really slowing down and making myself better. Very difficult but life changing. Very well said Thomas. Thank you for this ✨ “Practicing acceptance without causing inaction” 🧘🏻‍♀️

(EDIT) Please people, like this comment so they can see it and pay attention to it. I've sent them emails and such but no response yet. Hey guys, I just wanted to reach out to say that since I find this video so inspiring and useful for so many people, I took the liberty of transcribing it and translating it into Spanish and syncing the subtitles to the video. So if we could somehow connect I'd love to send you the .srt file so you can add it to this video and people from Spanish speaking countries can also access wonderful content such as this.

One of the biggest misconceptions about meditating is that it's about being still and silent. Couldn't be farther from the truth - it's about reconnecting with your inner guide, the voices that represent the true self. These voices and desires get buried under the louder voices of society and external expectations. Everything you want to know, can already be found within. You just need to look. ❤

I cried while watching this. I too had major anxiety at a point in my life and I just wanted to run away. I always felt as if something was wrong, and being so worried of the future. I can’t stress how much meditation has changed my life in a positive way. Once I realized that peace and happiness was found internally is when I truly found myself. I began to connect with the Earth, my family, friends, and even creating new meaningful friendships. I became my true self and have shown it off to the world without any guilt or shame. I learned to Love myself. Thank you for sharing this message Thomas. I know there are millions in the same situation as you were.

I just subscribed to the 1 year membership of headspace right after watching this video. The app has been on my phone for a while but I have been hesitate to subscribe. After my first 10 minute session the app popped an ad up for the 'Yes theory' podcast. Good work guys!

I felt when you said “If you don’t do what you planned you suddenly get a load of anxiety”. Everytime I have exams if I even miss 10 minutes of revision I planned to do, I think the world is gonna end and I’m gonna fail. I need to somehow learn that if you don’t reach a deadline or follow your plan that the world isn’t just gonna implode. Thank you for this video🙏.

Love this! We can’t stop our thoughts from coming but choosing which ones to dwell and focus on can make a massive impact on our mental health which is why meditation can be so incredibly helpful. 🙂

Thomas has really improved as a presenter, and i think part of it is because of his confidence and self belief in situations where he used to be uncomfortable. >>seek discomfort>>

I've been feeling exactly the same thing. I started meditating not long ago and that opened up a door self discovery. Lots of what I thought was normal, like being busy and productive all the time, it was actually quite of the contrary. I found out that the more productive I was, the less I was producing because I wasn't taking enough time to see myself from inside out, then I started to questions the underlying reasons I was doing so much as I was, and the finding was staggering, those were more about external than internal reasons - the focus was more about what people could notice I was doing than the benefits of doing it itself and I had a breakdown. After this dark moments, now, little by little, I can get myself back together. botton line is, meditating is the medicine everyone should take and the side effect are so positive that we ask ourselves why I hadn't taken that before. Amazing video, Thomas!

i do meditate every day, but i like the guided ones the best. been doing it everyday for 2 years, sometimes all day, sometimes afew times a day, always has my vibe super high, even with smoking a lot of weed

According to Bhagavad Gita “Mind is the best of friends for those who have control over it but for one who has failed to do so, their very mind will be the greatest enemy.” And meditation is the process of washing the mind by the mind so that you have your thoughts under your control.

How did to go?

Thomas the meditation you’re doing is called Anapana in Pali (ancient Indian language). In vipassana meditation anapana is only the first step to quiet the mind. Then you go way way deeper by doing “vipassana” (more or less a body scan). I invite you and everyone to check vipassana méditation taught by S N Goenka. An amazing meditation which truly changed many things in my life. 🙏

I have done Pranic Healing where after the first 3 classes you can join this wonderful meditation which starts of with heart -brain coherence through the Meditation of St Francis of Assisi, and others. There’s always someone to ask and speaks to, which really helps.. Have also done Vipassana twice. You would really love it, as over the 10 days, each day, builds on the previous day, and even if a bit challenging some days, I felt like floating after the first 3-4 days… It was marvelous. Am still not as disciplined as you and meditate every day, but it has certainly changed me over the years…🙏💛

Dear Thomas, At the end of 2020, I was preparing for my first ever road trip 16 hours long after only 6 months of driving it was a challenge I really wanted to do on my own. In preparation, i saw the 96 Hours Inside Afghanistan video and I thought what a badass. I took the road trip and successfully, did it I felt on top of the world. Then recently I had an event that has me in that dark place of extreme anxiety. Slowly making progress every day and this video sent me over the edge of emotion because to me you're such an inspiration so to see that you went through it as well, makes me so motivated. TDLR I'm currently going through what you went through in 2017. I've started using Headspace and it's helped, but this video just gave me so much motivation to continue on and for this feeling to not control my life.

Hey Thomas, what a beautiful story you’re sharing 🙏🏻 As a meditation teacher, I sometimes find it difficult to really explain why meditation is so helpful in life - needed even! Go give ourselves that peace of mind and clarity to start our day🧘‍♀️ But you explained it so well here and I’m truly happy you found meditation a way for you to feel better about self and life ❤️ Well done and keep up sharing your great work! Hopefully more adventures for you ahead 🥰

Meditation is who you are without anyone else's opinion. Or let's say that's how source sees us, with out any judgement. I was sexually abused when I was a child, abandoned, physically abused etc. Meditation has helped me tremendously. Almost to a point where I feel like my trauma has a lot of valuable lesson. I still have a long way to go. Namaste!🙏

I use to meditate and stopped until I came across a huge struggle in my life that emotional destroyed me and I used alcohol and weed to minimize my anxiety and depression. One day I decided to meditate I used chanting mediation and hypnotic meditation which I fell asleep in but after one night I stopped smoking and drinking completely. I used heart meditation to heal my heart which stopped all the angry and anxiety in my mind but I had to go thru all the emotions and I had to forgive myself and people. I am still meditating I make sure to make time and I work out a few days a week to move my body and increase positivity. Anyone who is struggling meditate it helps so much and recenters your mind and body.

I also grew up with dyslexia in the French school system. They decided I was dumb, so they held me back twice. But having gone through that and all the other struggles with dyslexia, it has taught me resilience. Just wanted to say this, cause its the first time I've heard someone have the same experience as me. And I don't usually comment. Thank you Thomas! ♥️

I am 20 and I would like to share something that I wish I knew at your age and could alter the way you grow up. Carl Jung was a psychiatrist/philosopher from the early 1900s and his writings are some of the most intricate and accurate resources on the human mind. He said that there are two categories of mental illness: 1) actual genetic mental illnesses such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Down’s Syndrome, etc. and 2) ones we unintentionally give ourselves without knowing. These “fake” illnesses include ADHD and all the depression/anxiety disorders. Modern psychiatrists (im assuming you have been diagnosed by one) benefit from diagnosing people with the “fake” mental illnesses because that is 90% of their patients. They aren’t evil for doing this, it is just how they are trained. However, meditation and exploring your own mind and self image will reveal that you aren’t a “broken” person with a mental illness. You can become confident and happy by just accepting the way you feel about things and changing the way you feel about things if you find your responses to be unproductive in achieving your goals.

"Your expectations are the biggest thieves of your joy" WOW the truth in that statement. So good! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you 🙏🏻 thank you so much for sharing this video… It totally hit home with me and the part where you talk about trying to suppress your emotions or your sadness, I needed to hear all of it so I am so thankful and grateful for you for taking the time to make this video and put it out there for other people to listen to and watch and learn from and I just really really appreciate you for doing that no matter how hard it was you did it!❤️🙏🏻

Thank you for this! You put my own journey into words and it's so nice to know that I am not alone because sometimes I think I must be imagining the changes and benefits. I bought the Headspace course years ago, before phone apps existed, and they've occupied my computer hard drives for all that time, unused. About 9 months ago I wanted to start meditating and dug up the Headspace exercises, starting at the 10 minute a day "Take 10" series. I r been more calm or more centered. Usually I start something (like exercise) and lose interest eventually. Not with Headspace. I look forward each and every day to the session, and then I do another meditation on my own later in the day. I have not yet missed a day. Everyone around me notices and appreciates the changes. I used to express my inner frustrations and shortcomings as anger, and could be quite cruel. Headspace has changed my life in profound ways, and I am so happy that it has done the same for you.

Thomas, even though this video might not get the recognition it deserves, for me it was the most impactful to date. I love you guys at Yes Theory and I hope I get the chance to meet you guys one day. Thank you for sharing this humanizing side of yourself, and for all of the amazing lessons within the context of your channel and this video in particular. You are a legend man!

I am so happy you figured this out early. I too got everything I wanted after working super hard for 13 yrs. unfortunately reality doesn’t quite work the same way. Sometimes it really doesn’t matter how hard you work or how much you want to achieve a goal, we don’t always get what we want. Reality doesn’t grant trophies to us for just showing up. I’m older- I graduate from a residential high school for gifted students 30 yrs ago. Meditation definitely helps me with anxiety, depression and ADHD. This past school year I became so busy and focused on my students that I forgot myself. I’m here today to try and find my way back to mindfulness. Practicing gratitude helps so so much. He is so right about expectations robbing you of joy. Good luck to you. You literally have your whole life ahead of you. I must say, this guy definitely speaks with some hard won wisdom.

Hey itsninarosa! 🙃 I'm sorry if this seems like a spam, but if you'd like, you could try the meditation (aura cleansing) I have on my channel and see how it helps with anxiety. This is not exactly the kind of meditation where you simply "empty your mind" - rather, you put an effort in visualizing something. In my video I explain in detail how it works, and how it affects a person beyond the physical realm. Regardless of that though, I'd personally suggest to also try and get some sunlight (well, I know it's not so easy in this season) or make sure you're eating healthy things. I know from experience that, even when everything was going well in my life (nothing to stress me out) the wrong food and the many days of physical inactivity had taken a toll on me. And there were also periods of time where I was feeling stressful - and if I ate the wrong things (mostly sugary or too salty food), my emotions and stress would just worsen... Whereas, when I started eating more healthy (along with trying to keep my body active - not talking about working but about physically working out), I was much better at dealing with stress and the anxiety had minimized. Hope this helps a little bit! 🙂

"Expectations are your biggest thief of joy", so true and powerful.

For anyone that loves Headspace: I highly reccomend the 10% Happier podcast by Dan Harris. He's also written two highly addictive to read books. The first, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story. And the second, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book. Ive listened to both of them repeatedly. They are so good and well told. The second books focuses solely on how to help you meditate. Very useful!

Thanks- that sounds like a good place to start for me.

Does this ever sound like me, I worked my whole life and was a single mom, Then took care of my son that had cancer. I was always on the move. Always taking care of everyone but me. When my son passed away my life came crashing down around me. I no longer cared about anyone or anything. I was really hoping a meteor would fall on me and end it all. For 4 years I could not leave the house. When I went to the store or anyplace where people were I had panic attacks and horrible anxiety. I hate pills but felt I had no choice so after trying a few I said F this I am going to find another way. I am slowly getting better but more work needs to be done. Thank you for this video it seems to be just what I am looking for. Namaste

V inspiring. It’s so peaceful to “look inside”. Listen to own heart, feel tiny nerve twitching, some pains, breathing into tight areas, feeling owns breath. The un-doing vs “just” doing is far reaching. There is so much to find on the outside after each internal journey of “quieting down”

Maybe not the video “everyone” needed, but definitely the one I needed, thank you Thomas. Thank you Yes Theory. I resonate with this video on a whole other level. 🙏🏼

"I noticed my own thoughts", that is the key... our thoughts (mostly unconscious) usually use up our psychology, creating havoc if they are not processed. Great job Thomas, you are in control! :)

What changed?

I love you guys so much. This video made me realize that I was trying to meditate completely wrong. I was always waiting for that “perfect moment” to meditate, like for example I don’t meditate when it rains because I prefer meditating in sunlight… But there you were, meditating in a corner in the room or on a pillar and even in ice! This was really a profound learning experience for me, and you might not have even intended to do that! Lastly, I have ADHD which comes with it’s own challenges… I have that wild stallion in my head too and sometimes I really get so overwhelmed because it’s not just dealing with the mind that won’t keep quiet, it’s also the self-defeatist content of the mind, like the voices that say “you’re just not good enough,” and actually that’s one of the nicer thoughts I can have on some days. Just… thank you, sincerely.

IMO those with ADHD will benefit hugely from meditation but also yoga. Do it enough and you will realize your life becomes meditative. You can meditate anywhere, even in line at the grocery store or in a traffic jam.

Hey Thomas, this is a great video. I started meditation 10 years ago and at first I would do it on and of for a long time.It’s been 7 years now were I can’t leave the house without meditating. Need more videos like these.

Meditation made me accept myself and see that we're all what we're supposed to be, that the nature is beautiful the way it is. Great video, keep spreading kindness

This hit home on so many levels for me. I’ve shared in so many of the struggles you expressed, Thomas, and I can’t tell you how helpful it is to here someone else say these things out loud. Appreciate you sharing your journey and all that Yes Theory represents. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

As a long time meditator and one who has experienced many of the same frustrations, this is the healthiest view of meditation and being human I have ever heard! Thank you!

I rarely comment on videos but i just want to say thank you!!! It feels so great to know you are not alone when hard times hit, and hearing you put into words many of the same feelings as I have had is so refreshing and gives hope for a better future. 🙂

Thank you for being so open and honest about this - I remember having the notion that meditation was going to solve all my anxieties and give me control over my emotions, but in fact I learned later on down the line that it helped me understand why it was I feeling anxious and gave me the tools to learn to be okay with those emotions. It's a very tough journey, but its comforting that there are others going through it as well.

This video literally came into my world at the perfect time, when I needed it most. This is the universe telling me to start meditation and that’s what I’ll do. Thank you.
