Hinduism and Buddhism has beliefs which are false. So Russell should involve himself into only true beliefs which are supported by sound evidences and facts. Not just because the belief or its explanation sounds beautiful. Like idol worship is an insult to human intelligence which is bless by great one true God. How can human worship something created by their own imagination and reasoning? If I am wrong, then why humans worship computers, mathematics, logic, machines, ai and so on which are intelligent and benefits man more than idols. Worship and praying to idols is wrong because they cannot even protect themselves then how they can protect you. Regarding buddha, buddha says all desire leads to pain which is non sense. Socialist, psychologist and thinkers and philosophers has identified that there are two types of desires or impulse - one more possessive & harmful for humans and other more creative, constructive and beneficial to humans which gives great true pure right happiness. But buddha didn't realise that achieving positive desires leads to true happiness. Read book of Bertrand Russell called conquest of happiness.

Just to add, I find that meditating as soon as I wake up after a bathroom visit is the easiest time of day to do it, because that's when the mind is the quietest.

"Om Nama Sivaya" is the one I use, but dont FIXATE on the mantra, just let it go over and over and over very freely in your mind...

Each mantra resonates on a different frequency that, when repeated, lifts your own frequency. Mantra are made from Sanskrit letters which are a collection of primordial sounds, connecting us to everything and everyone. All Sanskrit mantra are different but one is no better than the other. Find the one that tugs at your heart and chant that in your meditation practice. Peace 🌺🕉🔥

I'm relieved to hear that the mantra can be said in your head rather than out loud, as I'm not confident enough to vocalise them as yet. Like you, my mind has an endless commentary playing, or a song stuck on repeat .... so repeating a mantra sounds like the perfect way to declutter the mind! ✨🗣️✨

In your head is certainly better than not at all, but my understanding is that the sounds and vibrations they produce in the body are VERY important - they’re not simply Sanskrit translations of a random phrase.

I've been. Trying to do all this & seeing this at this moment where so much is going on around us that seems confusing is honestly a sign!:) I love it!

Thank you Russell! I am a beginner meditator and have recently made up my own mantra (a series of sounds that have no meaning to me but help me to still the thoughts that try to constantly come in). I have been able to meditate two times a day (most days) and that remains a goal. You have been and continue to be a teacher to me and I hope the best for you and your efforts, your life, and your family. Namaste!

Thank you for spreading this information to the masses

Wow! I listen to Russell all the time but never listened to him speak on meditation. I pray which I guess is meditation. I’m Catholic, so the Rosary is definitely meditation. I’m going to try the Mantras. I’m such a lunatic (thought wise) so I’ve never been able to stick to it. I’m inspired to try again. Russell is a gifted communicator.

*I CHANGED TO MANTRA* based meditation 2 months ago and I have had some FANTASTIC trips around the universe, two, three, even 4 levels of spatial awareness... DEFINITELY worth it. Today wasn't spatial - but very out of body.

It is best to find a guru and at first using a visual anchor to hold in your mind like an idol or a yantra that goes with the mantra. Chanting mentally is best and not getting frustrated or having an intention. Set your attention first and do a simple puja. During japa however just let go of all thoughts, let the mantra be the only thought, no goal, no asking for anything, no expectations, simply tuning into a current of energy which is the mantra. Trust the mantra to do the work you dont need to do anything other than just focus. The only effort is returning the mind to the mantra gently over and over as the mind wanders. Eventually concentration will lead into true meditation as you said the mantra will dissolve and all visualizing will dissolve there will just be void and awareness. Eventually the void and awareness become one and the same

Very strangely, I was meditating yesterday and having a bit of a busy mind problem & I wondered if a mantra would help. And then this popped up today. Cheers! Very helpful & just when I needed it! 💐

Thank you for this video. I personally practice transcendental meditation and it's been one of the best things for me. I can't recommend learning to do it enough.

A mantra without meaning has worked wonders! I wrote down syllables and drew 3 from a hat. I got Ra Ma Sa. That's been my mantra since 2017. This way the word doesnt drum up any imagery. As long as Im repeating the mantra im not thinking about other things. Eventually theres this sweet spot of transcendence, but, it seems as soon as i notice the state that "noticing" knocks me out of it! Its a fun game!

Thank you for this video 💚

I'm really liking both your channels these days! A topic I would be really interested to hear your take (or do an interview with some wise person) on is aphantasia (lack of any mental imagery), which I ahve. I only realised aphantasia is a 'thing' a couple of years ago, and it made total sense to me years of frustration with guided style meditations. All that imagining doors and gardens and beaches puts you in a really stressful place when you just see nothing with your eyes closed. My husband is a hypervisualiser and now that I understand that when people say "I can picture that' it's not just a turn of phrase, we gradually explore the profound differences in how we experience life and the world. At first I felt i was missing out (as do a lot of people in the aphantasia fb group), but I've come to realise that it's actually easier for me to still my mind, even without meditation. I'm now exploring breath meditation, and I am really drawn to mantras, but find it hard to hear them in my mind too.

Thanks for this explanation. Needed to know this.

This is the best Russell video, ever.

You speak so quickly and your mind is all over the place, Classic ADD. Might I help.....Here are the best friends of ADD.... A) At least 8 hours of nightly sleep. B) Lots of protein and vegetables, less processed foods the better! C) Multi Vitamins and an extra supplement of B-Complex. Here are the enemies of ADD.... A) Sugar B) Alcohol C) Stimulants; Nicotine, etc. HOPE you will try these, they really make a difference. May the Lord Bless You

I did the one yesterday with you online. I could not stretch out my right arm at the shoulder. As we continued I focused on other parts and it relaxed the shoulder muscle not. Enjoyed it immensely and plan to incorporate 3 times a week. Thanks!

I love you Russell!

Thanks for the reminder, Russell. I used to do mantra meditation a lot and it worked for me, but I've been trying to do silent meditation and I just kind of suck at that. So back to mantras.

By having minimal understanding of nakshatra and the natal chart, I was able to uncover a personal mantra based on those things by using both. Gnostic Teachings also recommends intoning vowel sounds, chakra sounds (Ut-re-mi-fa-so-la). They also recommend runes but runes have not as yet resonated with me. Om Ah Hum, AUM, Om, Krim, etc. The personal, natal based nakshatra is probably very empowering on an individual basis. Thank you for visiting this topic. I hope it helps a lot of people.

Love your stuff brudder ☺

I don't know if many people do this, but aside from just sitting down and going into mediation, either breath or with mantras... but I tend to prepare the space a bit as well, usually involves lighting a candle to place in front of me which I've found helpful to stay in the meditation so even when a distracting thought might get in the way, I can focus back on the candle as a way to kind of hone back into the mediation... I hope this might help people who might also get distracted during mediation. At the end of the meditation, I tend to put the candle out and wait for the smoke to dissipate.

Chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra will make you happy!

i do like the mantras when said out loud, because you can feel the vibration and effect all through the spine. I also find that certain mantras will have an effect on how i will feel for the rest of the day. - I held off doing them for a while until i knew what they meant and decided whether that was appropriate for me to use them. They do help - i have a very electric speeding train mind - and i need something with a vibrational tone to calm that stuff. My favourite of your most recent ones is Aum Namah Shivaya. I just really liked how i felt after that one.

Russell you are a legend

Turns out what a lot of mantras are doing is activating the vagus nerve, or the parasympathetic system. I find "Aum" does that for me, esp when I focus on the throat/chest resonance, sends me into that deep relaxation state that feels connected to all. Those Yogis knew their stuff.

With me, I tend to use the chakra mantras because they're easy to remember and to chant out when you practice in generating the right vibrations in both mind and body. Plus they symbolise each different meaning that resonates different human qualities. They can also be done at any time with or without the meditation through either silent or loud utterances which helps in making them stick.

Hi! Your videos have helped so much and I was wondering if there was any way you could do a video on how you began meditating as an absolute beginner and what are some things that helped you stick with it? 🙏

You can tell he practices what he preaches (love it). Try the [[[waheguru]]] mantra, it's known to be the most powerful mantra there is up to date by the spiritual masters. It means wow god or wow guru, chant it in feelings and emotions of gratitude, wonderment, and praise for the divine. If you give this mantra your attention while chanting by focusing on the 4 sounds wa-he-gu-ru it will merge you with the divine frequency leaving no trace of "I" or "me" ie.. (ego or self existence).

Always looking for ways to get back to that calm of meditation- seems some are better than others.
