Just lay down no specific technique. I've been doing just breath for almost 2 years now is very good I resolved most of my issues with long covid and anxiety depression gone I'm able to deal with things a lot better you'll gain a strong practice if you keep at it you'll be okay

He's my friend Phil

yes...im currently figuring out how to do videos...will eventually release talking/explaining videos in near future. but in short, 3-5mins is quite good. what matters is actually doing it what feels doable at the moment, aka overcoming resistance because we live in a very stressful environment and overcoming resistance to practice is already a huge accomplishment, regardless of form, duration or technique. will add more context in future talk videos.

Thanks Nate.

😮🎉

Well done! keep in mind that regularity is more important than duration. i have meditated for along time only for 10min - 20min when i started.

@@whyphilwise ... yeah I can do only 4 days for meditation, the fri-sat- sun. I feel more tired when the heaviness from work kicks in 🫣. I drive far from home to get to my job, come back, cook, make sure daughter did homework, basic things human stuffs 😮‍💨. But I am still conquering that part. But only 3 days that I feel super tired. Only those 3 days, I give myself a break 😅.

Thank you too✨🙏✨

Thank you!

Great! Well done! But quieting the mind is a huge goal. I haven't achieve this yet! For me sitting with a loud mind is also very valuable.

@@whyphilwise ... I shall start seeing it like that. Last night I fell asleep while watching one of your old videos. And today, will watch one from the forest. I will honor my loud thoughts then 🙃🧚‍♀️.

in my experience, no :) but this is a part of the experience, after some time they pins and needles stop bothering you. and you can even use them as an acnhor of your focus.

Well it depends. I don't experience pain anymore. Because I have an intense stretching routine. I will make a video in the future where i will share my stretches to achieve sitting painless for 1h. but without stretching, the pain most likely won't go away...

Your doing all fine. I also don't pay attention from time to time. its totally ok.

Thank you too. Can't turn them off at the moment. Will do when possible!

Well done! 20min right at the start is quite a lot!

@@whyphilwise thank you! The weekend is a bit hard to do them, as my tiredness kicks in from work, and I take my daughter out, but once I conquer that tiredness, I shall be like you eventually 😅. Thank you again 🙃🧚‍♀️.

Of all things on KZbin to criticize you choose something that’s helpful. Get over yourself.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for your feedback ✨🙏✨

@whyphilwise There is no goal in meditation, - Alan Watts.

Thanks ✨🙏✨

Yes i totally agree! Very well observed.

I feel honored! Thank you!

Thats a perfect start to feel the urge to practice and actualize on it!

Thank you! 😊

yes, that sounds very familiar: meditation on and off and having an inner voice like this. I hope you will find the strength to follow its direction. I did it in my case and its been very meaningful so far.

Thank you too. I also just until recently struggled in my live meditations with leg numbness and pain too. I just endured it...

@@whyphilwise this is the way...i'm going on a vipassana retreat in just 3 weeks now, and this is my only concern haha i'm sure it will be fine though

Thank you too ✨🙏✨

Interesting Idea!

Thank you Dubby for your positive words. Wish you well! ✨🙏✨

@@whyphilwise 🙏🙏🙏~ I have a traumatic brain injury. I meditate daily. But I can only sit for maybe 5 to 7 minutes at a time. I have more success with walking meditation.😊😊😊~ but I keep practicing. Thank you again.

yes, this has happend to me occasionally as well. because i do my live meditation in the afternoon and after work i was tired. so my solution was to always have a nap of 20-30min some time before mediation.

I was eagerly waiting for the reply,Thanks but I have tried all the possible ways to be alert but I sleep

Pls help

​@@sheshsharma5634I suggest trying a guided meditation so that you aren't in silence but paying attention to the guide speaking. That's what helps me. Don't give up trying 🙏🏼

I mean the comment section is not an appropriate place to deal with insonmia. it needs proper medical attention and diagnosis. so I would politely advise you to visit a doctor. I wish you well ✨🙏✨

i really don't know, sorry.
