Had never made progress meditating yet two days ago sitting on a crowded bus for forty-five or so minutes there was sustained focus til l began to weep .

[@user-wm1lj7fj6g]

Thank you for giving me some hope that I too can achieve what you have. ❤❤❤

[@christinejackson3827]

So glad I came across this video and your channel. I am just beginning my journey into meditation and this is the first channel I have found that is accessible to beginners. This is like learning a new language and most channels do not explain the concepts or even vocabulary, there is a presumption that you already know the basics. Thank you.

[@agatigna]

Thank you Ben! Never looked at meditations in this manner and definitely makes sense 🙏 definitely intrigued with my path towards the spiritual side 🤍✨

[@sherrylbufton8940]

Thank you, Ben. Id love to know more about different techniques to meditation 🙏🏻

[@nontimebomala779]

Your channel popped up in my feed. So glad it did. I am at the beginning of my spiritual journey and I need as many pointers as you can get. Iooking through your videos I can see a lot of the questions I have being addressed so definitely scored a new subscriber here. 🙏

[@cisbani_sw]

Thanks Ben for sharing this insightful and clear logical line to follow, we all needed it

[@reikicatz8679]

100% without a spiritual teacher's guidance i doubt I would Ever have had profound spiritual experiences thank You Ben 🙏💜

[@ANDERSONBROWNSTUDIOS20]

How might one get/find a spiritual teacher?

[@reikicatz8679]

@ANDERSONBROWNSTUDIOS20 i put it out into the Universe and found Ben Smith (above) here on you tube and have signed up with him. He is so kind, and has answered so many of my questions that i couldnt get from previous teacher. Good luck🙏💜

[@ANDERSONBROWNSTUDIOS20]

@reikicatz8679 Thank you very much for your reply 😊 🙏🏽 Yes your right he seems amazing. I have recently come across Ben's page and have decided to start from the beginning of his videos in order of posting. I'm only on his 8th video and have learnt so much already!

[@reikicatz8679]

Youre welcome 😊 to be honest i mever realised "spiritual teachers were necessary, but the more i meditated sometimes i needed answers ...and not all spiritual teachers are willing to give explanations, understandably as its our ego doing the enquiring and that we should just let it go, but sometimes we cant move on until we understand 🙏💜​@ANDERSONBROWNSTUDIOS20

[@user-wm1lj7fj6g]

I didn't realise that it took so long to meditate cos on KZbin it sounds like it is just relaxing shut your eyes and try to stop thinking or just let thoughts float by and I could do that but I didn't progress into going deeper and I presumed it was my fault and that I wasn't able to let go enough rather than that meditation takes a long time to achieve the expected results, that's very depressing and very disappointing! I have obviously been very nieve and now I feel devastated because I am of an age when there is only a short amount of time left and I so wanted to be fully awakenedI before I go home.😢😢😢😢😢

[@markoffreedom4706]

Thank you

[@K.A.R.Y.O.N]

Thankyou, another amazing video. I’m so glad I found you. Your teachings resonate with me very much.

[@vincecallagher7636]

Also, you can shift from casual to spiritual anytime you want. Sometimes it happens on your own.

[@NeilBradleyMS]

Thank you Ben, excellent advice as always. 🙏👍

Much appreciated, my friend. Always learning from your videos 🙏

[@angalmeida29]

Wow this is brilliant Ben ! Thx so much

[@janetpeaches127]

I have been doing daily sleep guided meditation for 5 yrs now. I would like to take my practice into a morning ritual also. I would like to also get a pillow for sitting.

Great content ben

I repeat the name of Jesus all the time in traffic, I thought that was a bad thing 😂 only joking, great vid, thanks 🙏

[@quocphingo9807]

have you meet entities in higher dimensions in astral projection ?

[@vincecallagher7636]

My guidance is unavailable, I will use the internet, and the people I meet.

[@joeymartocchio7871]

Thank you for this, Ben. I’m curious, have you encountered someone reaching level 3 faster than usual? I started meditating and starting my journaling routine in early March, so I’m close to 4 months in. I had what you would call a “spiritual awakening” back in February and it’s what started this whole journey. I have always believed in a higher power or consciousness, but now I do more than ever!

[@bensmithreal]

I have! Some people tend to find themselves at that stage after just a few months. It’s less common, but I have seen it a few times.

[@pattishapiro4651]

Thank you Ben! Recently found your channel and have been going through many of your videos. I appreciate your suggestion of digging a deep well, as well as using the beginner’s mind. What are your thoughts on meditating lying down vs. an upright seated position? I would appreciate your input. Thank you :)

[@p14men]

Nice question, let's hope Ben will make another video comparing both Till then I'll give my understanding The mere fact you are asking this question means you tend to do it laying down Which shows you have kind of discomfort If you have the interest Then start with laying down on the floor on a thin yoga pad This will Re-set your bones structure, re-align all your bones Don't start pushing, Instead let the gravity do its job Do so for a week, Then you'll have the stability to up-righting your body On a further note If you have the discomfort, don't fight or ignore it Rather find the reason Untangle the blockage Ignoring the blockage will divert your energy into body inflammation You are not a hero if you ignore the body pain Rather gonna put asleep a blockage which seeds to illness Listen your body Be utterly aware of its raw biology Because it will give you the energy needed for the meditation depths And a real spiritual trip, instead of vague promises for imagination Don't ignore the Body Separate Biology from Ego Biology is important The ego should be harnessed in its limits by your awareness But for all that you need energy That's why the body is important

[@jonelliott9553]

Any suggestions on how or where to source an instructor?

[@vincecallagher7636]

How do progress without guidance.

[@5000NATE]

prefer silent meditation.

[@rkymtndeb61]

Hi Ben, I Posted this question in another video and repeat here: I started meditating about 8 months ago. I have a question??? I’ve been getting the feeling, while meditating, of I’m about to drift off to almost sleep/dream state. Is this a shift or am I falling asleep??? Should I let it happen or try to stay present and awake?

[@bensmithreal]

It sounds as though you’re on the brink of falling asleep to me. When you shift into deeper states, it happens naturally and you won’t feel tired or like your losing consciousness at all. I’d recommend staying present, but relaxed still 🙂🙏

[@rkymtndeb61]

@@bensmithrealThank you for the reply. 🙏 I will try to get more sleep at night so this doesn’t happen during my meditation.

[@bensmithreal]

Sounds like a plan🙂 I’m not sure if you lay down or sit up when you mediate, but if you do lay down I’d recommend sitting up in the future. That helps with this🙏

[@lavanderialoca7385]

I've NO idea if you condone this but I've been using 5 meo DMT. I don't think it's cheating. I've also found myself interested in remote viewing. I LOVE your channel Ben. Keep it up my friend. Simon

[@maxb1390]

Where do you get it?

[@yvettep1093]

You might as well take hardcore drugs and drink copious amounts of alcohol for a better trip. Anything that alters the mind outside of your own effort is worthless in your spiritual journey. Everything that requires effort is worth the struggle. Put away that junk and do the work!!

[@bensmithreal]

@yvettep1093 I have to agree

[@All-Is-One-zv6wc]

Me personally I have had profound spiritual experiences on mushrooms, I'ma big yapper but god made me silent, then I could see how everything dances with divinity. Side note, god is extremely funny🔥

[@_JacklNaB0X_]

@@yvettep1093I’ve tried to source some DMT for over a decade, now that’s effort… must be worth it!
