Floating Buddhist Monk Woman of Kanchanaburi, Thailand

[@kick2krack565]

We can float by controlling the breathe , but what's interesting for me is here she is able to change the poses in water effortlessly. It must be out of practice

[@anshuman5331]

salty water hai

[@deandrealexander6172]

Yes I agree do you have a specific technique you practice to do this ?

[@dParakeet]

@@deandrealexander6172 it’s similar to how an infant baby can learn to float on it’s own, this woman learned to float in interesting ways

[@bigbiemacaw]

I do this all the time when meditation in the pool while the kids have there swim..

[@obscurelyvague]

"Kick2Krack" it could be because of floating devices in her suit and camera angles (as well as practice).

[@nocentre6355]

This is called swimming lol

i can do this since i was 9. the key for doing this is your breath, keep it in your centerbreast and upper stomach. while doing this keep your backbone and waist in balance. everyone can do it :)

[@SickTwistedQueen]

I don't think it's supposed to be amazing or shocking, just calming to watch.

[@Abcdefghijllmnop]

Let’s hope

[@tohkimlin]

If we relax it is not so difficult to float. I used to have problems to float until I learned how to relax. Great video. This is an inspiration. Thanks.

[@nuclearspike]

simple: eat taco bell, wait until the gas builds up, go in water. :)

[@AmericanYogi]

This is actually a beautiful kind of yoga that i also do in the swimming pool but most people cannot do it because they dont know how to swim well or how to regulate the breath.Its all in the breath.

[@monikaguruge8939]

Buddhis is not a magic show like this its path to Nirwana which can stop reincarnation. that's it.Any body can do these kind of thing.

"It is told by Buddhist monks that these women can walk on water." Is very different than "In The mountains of Kanchanaburi Thailand a Buddhist woman monk is Floating in fresh water." LOL

[@demonface666]

wow an old lady going for a swim......amazing!

[@Fretless99]

She is a Buddhist monk, and, as such, has taken a vow of poverty. Buddhist monks collects alms (offerings) from other people, usually in the form of food, or sometimes money, so they can purchase food. She was doing a graceful demonstration, but there is nothing 'miraculous' about this.

[@markkoh888]

The trick is very simple. You can do it on your backyard pool too!! Just increase the density of the water until it more than human body liquid... By adding lots of salt, I means Kilograms of kitchen salt into the water..... Those who study chemistry/physic should know what I meant! cheers!

[@ashishkumar-pi4ns]

Then why don't people sink on sea?

It doesn't need that amount of salt haha . Just need the breathing control lolz . Kind of swimming technique I should say to make it easy for you.

[@jmmahony]

There's nothing unusual here, and you don't need salt water, but body fat helps. My mom floats very easily and has even fallen asleep while floating in public swimming pools.

1000 Lbs of Epsom salt....

as im reading the comments....hearing the music...then scrolling back up to see a bald chick floating oh so gracefully around the pool in meditation pose..hahahaa im high as shit laughing

[@K6GSXRider]

Amazing. This is the long lost, ancient Chinese art of floating in water that used to be taught in swim schools to children. Only a select few who could afford $20 a lesson could learn to focus their energy and float in water this way. This woman needs a new teacher though. She spent her whole life to learn something i could do by the time i was eight or so. I guess the Monks of the YMCA don't have a temple in Thailand. Their Chi is so strong you can lean to float by the end of the afternoon.

[@michaele.stovall6364]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ermal234]

I can do this all day

[@blessingribeiro22]

maybe people there cant float or swim so its really amazing to them when one person masters the art of "floating"...she said a prayer before floating....uhm....#sideeye#

[@spookym123]

I can do the same damn thing! When I was a kid I learned that if you take deep breath and hold it, you will float. Exhale slowly and you will descend accordingly! It's a common misconception among non-swimmers that you will sink as soon as you get in the water.

[@central941]

Yeah! i can hold my breath in water too so my airated body floats until i exhale..

[@masta12ful]

inspiring....nice way to meditate..its good to see people who dedicate themselves to the great spirit....awesome...thx for posting

Beautiful Meditation.

[@ubermench1000]

she's just taught those who can see.How to do a nice peaceful water meditation that any of us can learn to do.I thought the music selected was very congruent with the meditation and that was kinda neet. But I don't think she's in any way trying some bs illusion ,but rather the real magik of a pleasant ,groovy meditation.I'll bet this woman has perfect blood pressure , no migrains ,no ulcers and has just about perfect health for a woman of her age. She gets a B+ . Nice job nice floating lady !

[@monakw]

I used to do that..until I took an arrow to the knee ;)

[@HigherThanTrump]

the problem with stuff like this is that she doesn't levitate to the kitchen nearly as much as she should

[@TheCaptain008]

This amazing feat brought to you by Sprite. I don't know. I think it's impressive and shows a lot of control.

[@gstjr1968]

The suit has something to do with this,the space inside with air holds the weight of an object in order to float on the water surface!That's the explanation!

Amazing! Focused and controlled.

[@maxjovine]

I was not explaining anything. You asked if i did it without paddling and I answered that the idea of the game (when I was a kid) was to remain very still (thus letting you know that it was a requirement NOT to paddle). I am not here to provide a tutorial; once again, I said I haven't tried this as an adult. Just my opinion that there is nothing supernatural about this and there are no tricks, nor salt water involved since I remember doing it as a child in a regular pool.

[@cicoti]

Respiração e tranquilidade. Isso faz flutuar na AGUA!

And the trick is: don't fart for a week and you will definitely float.

[@MrDoremouse]

It has just crossed my mind that while accounts of levitation occur amongst Hindus and Roman Catholics (some saints such as Gemma Galgani were said to levitate) there are no accounts of Protestants levitating. I just find that strange.

[@nostradamus1915]

She is not skinny, so her bodyfat will help her float. Plus you inflate your lungs and your body will stay afloat. It's part of the practice you're thought in the military if you find yourself stuck in the sea.

[@bigbiemacaw]

I'm so confused why is this so special I do this in the pool when my kids are playing, to meditate you draw extra air into your lungs and stomach..

[@maksenDK]

if you fill your lungs with a good amount of air and stay still in the water you dont need to pray for this to happen :=)

[@sugarfree1894]

I like to float completely immobile. It takes a lot of concentration but it's very meditative.

[@bfebrian1]

Even if she can levitate, it is forbidden for Buddhist monks/nuns to show that to other people.There are rules for monks and nuns.

[@callumjoe]

It's her controlled breathing allowing her to do this. Do you notice how she isn't breathing through her mouth? A slow heart rate and relaxing.. It isn't some sort of magic she's performing.

[@milowagon]

Aw come on! I did the same trick when I got my survival medal at 10 years old. A cotton fabric will trap and hold air, as you enter the water. You can make a life belt out of a wet shirt. She did look very graceful, when she took her dip though.

[@wjcolby]

My mother-in-law used to float like that in the pool for hours in the summer.

[@JYHD]

Stable water. All swimmers are floating budhas 😇

[@sesocr]

with the right amount of salt in water any one can float like this

[@mikesobirey9529]

Important (this technic)! If you are alone, in a lake or pond (when there is no wind). Close the eyes, observe sensations, let it happen, observe only the breath, the air inside the body & the connection (air) outside the body, after a while (noise nature), don't react at all ! Mind cooling, peace comes (calm&quiet in mind). Practicing ! If winter or summer...It's worth it. If the sun shines..your body..(eyes-closed!).. slews automatically, to face to the warming sun, without doing something.

[@DavisStillson]

Actually what she has done is learned to control her breathing so that she keeps her lungs inflated fully and you will also notice that she is overweight. Fat is lighter that water and it floats to the top of fresh water, any water for that matter. As to the clothing being heavy, well under water the clothing is not extra weight because once wet, it weighs no more than the water. Concrete will float is there is adequate displacement surface area.

[@MoniqDiazRose]

That is not salt, that is the power of the mind.

[@thesameasyoursasisaid9567]

wow, she found a skill that only 5.5 billion of us can do! OMG wow, she's holy, wowwwwwww

[@bestaeroplane]

I like the way her face look serious whilst her legs moved in the water.She is fully convinced and many people is also convinced.

[@julesxoxoxoxoxox]

there was probably a lot of salt in the water that kept her buoyant

[@ung427]

This is the first thing that I teach my swimming students that they can float right side up with lungs full of air. Then they realize that the water won't swallow them up. From there it's just moving the arms and legs in a way that keeps them up.

[@eukodol]

I can't believe they only sold 3 tickets to this show.

[@ung427]

"From there it's just moving the arms and legs in a way that keeps their already floating body up higher rather than push it down." That's what I mean by the last sentence for those of you who say, "well then how is she staying up without moving her arms or legs." Really it's quite a remarkable experience in a still pool because almost EVERYONE thinks that they will sink. Just take a quick breath and fill your lungs again and you will bob up and down a little but won't sink!

[@OWR_Mission]

change the title maybe? I waited five minutes for her to levitate

[@HiawathaOh]

What an amazing video.. floating woman.. and some people clapping.

Her postures in the water are very beautiful.

[@frdrcksncn]

here;s the trick: inhale....then hold it in as long as you can as composed and cool as u can lol

[@Bobbythewrecker]

If you try it you have to be utmostly still. if you move you will sink. When you are a ball your surface area is reduced thus its harder to stay afloat, To do this you must have the ability not to panic or move

[@Inceptid]

who came to the super human side of youtube just because they watched the movie chronicle and are now intrested? lol ;3

Well played, Buddhist monks, but I too have the power to float in water, and it did not take spiritual enlightenment for me to do so. I am the chosen one. Bow to me.

[@YAICHIYA]

In fact, this video teaches you how to meditate. Known to stop the chaos in the mind. And fantasy in mind. She doesn't come to show off.

[@aliensanonymous5063]

If you breathe in deep you float more. If you exhale completely you will sink to the bottom.

[@jutsubushido]

A female "monk" is called a nun by the way. Though of course in Asia their language doesn't really have different words for different genders.
