I'm meditating nowadays for 2h a day and I could say that it's amazing what you adquire: more attention to the present moment, more memory of your experience, more consciousness about sensations, emotions and thoughts, more peace and less stress, more control in general. When you have a consistent meditation practice, sitting isn't the only meditation, but you become a meditative being.

I recognise what he describes. It doesn't mean absence of stress, it means stress doesn't take over. I am leading the orchestra, so to speak. And I'm grateful for learning from the best ❤

I started with your wonderful 15min body, space& awareness meditation everyday. Now 10 weeks later im up to 1h daily and feel better than i have in a very long time💪Thank you Rinpoche🙏

"I" noticed that lately I don't feel time when meditate. It used to be "oh, I spent whole 15 minutes, oh Lordy, me so smart" and now I can get on my cushion and get back in couple hours and get surprised after, because time somehow is not there with me. I have to set timer if I must go somewhere, don't feel time at all. Maybe I finally tapped to big C, since consciousness is eternal and doesn't "think" of time

Thank you for your kindness that you bring in this world, dear master 🙏

i started a new job and i remember crying just from being overwhelmed from all the new things. i had been doing meditation to help with the transition and i remember distinctly thinking "wow i am crying but im not even really that sad." its almost like i just needed the action. as ram dass might say i more identified with the watcher than the actor. there really is magic and beyond to be found in simple breathing. thank you for this video i am more encouraged to mediate thank you :)

Just today i experienced the peacful and clear parts he talks about! This video is really reaffirming. Great to live in an age, where ordinary people can listen to and learn from a master like Yongey Mingyur!

I have been quite unwell for many years. I have tried to meditate and have had some success, but there was a lot to work through and a lot still going on in my life. I discovered a huge amount of my own truth recently. I took your advice and meditated while walking. I think I thought for about a week and came out with a new truth. This is a new and ground shaking truth for me. My life begins.

Your voice is also very calming and soothing for soul.

I like how casually he just talked about Superpowers and also how they keep it between them and not show off with it. Meaning it does happen and the masters let the students know there's more to realise
