This was an amazing meditation. I have a panic disorder but I felt so at peace during this meditation. I did not have a single worry the entire time... longest I have ever gone without having an anxious thought.

[@jaypalnitkar4400]

make it a daily practice - twice a day or more.

[@Rubenhazelnut8087]

This is one of the very best guided meditations I follow. Clear, peaceful and effective. Much appreciate this great post.

[@LukasKratochvil]

Strongly agree

[@nfcoard]

Andrew Paisley What are the others? Could you give the the key words or the link so I can use them too? Thanks

[@Rubenhazelnut8087]

Jon Kabat Zinn guided mindfulness, Mooji- Remain as you are, Jack Kornfield Big Sky Meditation, Metta meditations on Loving Kindness, wishing love for all beings, giving to all with healing light. Those are my favourite ones, but especially like things kept pretty simple mainly :)

[@nfcoard]

Andrew Paisley You don't get simpler than this meditation by Kelsang Jampa. Thanks for directing me to those meditations.

[@Rubenhazelnut8087]

your welcome, yes i love this one, nice and simple and peaceful

[@itimk0]

as a seventeen year old guy, I hope to bring this newfound ability to finally calm and relieve my stress throughout my life, for decades to come.

[@kavi711]

+itimk0 hows it going

[@itimk0]

Meditation was a godsend for about a month for me. Being much more in tune with my body, i noticed some things going on that I later learned were the result of wrongly dosed medication. Since correcting that, ive been astronomically better. I still try to meditate once a week, instead of daily.

[@kavi711]

any techniques/methods you'd care to share?

[@thevillageyid]

+itimk0 I'm 33 and I finally felt how beneficial meditation is. You're starting young, how awesome!

[@didierlason6453]

You are the space between your thoughts. That is who you really are. Blessings and love to Kelsang Jampa. May we cease to react to our thoughts. May we free ourselves from our afflictions from illusion. May we drink on the nectar of emptiness. And may we all spread the love of true reality and enlightenment to all sentient beings.

[@RyuJinh]

this guy has perfected the meditation art of speaking!

[@oshadhakandawela7658]

He’s a monk 💁‍♂️

[@raysherrell3259]

Perhaps just taking the few minutes a day for this will be the start I need to calm my reactionary mind. Wish me well.

[@abhinavguitar]

all the best! hope you are still practicing,.

how has it gone?

[@sharadapoduval4863]

This is the best meditation video I have ever seen. Must have watched it a few hundred times !!

[@G30Grrl]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kelsang Jampa a few weeks ago, and his presence is extremely soothing. _/\_

[@mogeaux]

I have been looking for another morning meditation and I'm so pleased to have found this. What a beautiful spirit.

[@cindyparker8169]

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. Thank you for this great introduction to meditation. Love it!

[@victorperton]

"From inner peace naturally outer peace will follow..of course"

[@sarvgrover]

Inner bliss, contentment and we enjoy sitting quietly.Thanks Kelsang Jampa

[@filayton6558]

Simply pure and deeply peaceful meditation. May all discover this and create world peace through it

[@ennachshieykamble]

Soothing Voice, I felt so calm. Thank you.

[@Shareef2610]

This the best meditation lesson ever. Thank you very much.

[@myblrapp9627]

Best guided meditation. This video helped me to pass a very tough exam paper in my course.

[@vinayvardhanyt2415]

How

[@myblrapp9627]

This meditation helped me to get out the misery of any exam and tried to concentrate a lot.

[@rociobanderas5569]

Excellent oportunity to be guided by Kelsang Jampa and find some peace in my life!!

[@fatinawad]

Simple yet very powerful. I find this breathing meditation easy to follow and can be a great go-to meditation at any time during my day.

[@kellyjean8642]

I find this meditation is very practical and helpful. I can do it when I am under stress or too busy in my mind - just find a quiet corner and do it in few minutes. My mind can back to clarity and see situation better.

[@alokik]

Mam can you share the way of doing Meditation .. ? I am confused in the sence of "focusing on what" ..plzz

[@gabimaunz]

Kelsang Jampa is a dedicated teacher and true inspiration to me. I consider him my spiritual guide. His warmth and kindness towards all are exceptional.

[@maryphoa8479]

gabimaunz Thank you Master. God bless you from all of us.

[@stevepaine5852]

Wonderfully simple and clear meditation. Even in a crowded place and with only a few minutes to ground and center, this unobtrusive but deeply moving meditation helps to reset and re-balance. What a gift to be able to impart such peace and guidance in such a short window of time. I play this for my patients on the Acupuncture table and it is our most requested guided meditation.

[@rigden37]

Thanks Jampa for a wonderful Ted Talk on meditation! May everyone see this and be inspired to find peace from within.

[@innerpeace37]

Beautiful example Gen Jampa - thank you for being that example.

[@bobbuchman1072]

What a nice meditation. So simple but yet so profound. You make it so easy. Thank you!

[@residentteacher2415]

Great teaching on what we all want. "Deep inner peace and joy, Contentment and well being that we can share with others. Happiness that makes others happy! " Thank you for reminding me that it is possible!

[@050marsheila7]

Thanks for the guidance. It's really helpful to overcome my anxiety at night. I'm grateful find the video before the anxiety deeply devour me.

[@GorgeousGeorgeXx]

This is great :-) Thank you I listen to this about every day for 2 months.

[@ravishankartiwari86]

Any results?? Plz share

[@alokik]

It is useful .. ?

I felt this real among a variety of guided meditation available in this platform. Thank you so much.

[@emmcatherine1460]

Thank you very much Kelsang. Light and Love along your path

[@MonkeymagicsMum]

What a lovely, soothing voice.

[@Its_Lu_Bu]

this video helped *actually* meditate for the first time. it is an incredible gift to any of those it may have helped.

[@hemantdubeyIndore]

This is the best mindfulness meditation I have ever experienced of all those many videos...thanks...i had no thoughts after this session...magical..❤️

[@paulotoole4634]

It was until the advertisement was added

[@iemeve]

Very powerful. Energetically gripping. Thank you!

[@LukasKratochvil]

I find this meditation very helpful and beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@markharrison895]

Nice, gentle meditation. Lovely, soothing voice. Namaste.

[@antoniogalarza7923]

The most simple guidance, and the best yet ever had. Thank you

[@JeanOSullivan]

Perfect for me this morning. My thoughts took off running like a hundred little dogs running after scattering sheep and the guidance brought me back to the breath so cleanly. Now. Breathing rhythm.

[@Sanjeewaization]

Mind seeks power to go in to the past, mind seeks power to go in to the future. But everything is changing at speed more than the speed of light. Where can we find this moment happening at such a speed. The amazing thing is that most who found it had told, that the experience they got was uniquely calm & silent.

[@stevekille6239]

Wonderful to watch this again. Namaste.

[@BenFletcherVideos]

Lovely thank you! 12 minutes for a peaceful mind

[@fbabka]

Wow, I love this man! Thank you!

[@kelsangchogo1401]

What a beautiful meditation! Thank you very much.

[@divyavik4043]

awesome. . .raw. . better than the other long guided meditations available

[@martinortiz1019]

Thank you Sir!Namaste.

[@nhd8198]

I create the universe in my mind using thoughts to travel to the edge of my imagination !

[@meyerrex37]

This was a very helpful meditation. Strongly recommend!

[@Joe45011]

Meditation is the key to stop the cycle of life.

[@bws626]

This guided meditation is the best i've tried. Others talk too much and it throws me off.

[@s.leslie7230]

This was very well done. I will definitely come back to this video again. Namaste.

[@s3ntry948]

+S. Leslie Namaste.

[@rawalsinghmanish]

thank YOU..inner peace brings outer peace reaally

[@DhurinAmin]

Thank You!!!!!

[@Spashth]

Once a while just sit somewhere and be yourself... don't bother about the thoughts let me come and go, don't concentrate on them. Feel yourself and let yourself be in the lap of your god.

[@OpalRavenna]

Beautifully relaxing and centering. Thank you.

[@teresarooney9978]

BLISS BOOST! Thank you Jampa.

[@harneetkaur4345]

01:45 starts

[@benoliver1560]

I can't help feel a little sad if that enthusiasm is a reflection of ultimate inner happiness

[@Angloth]

i guess enthusiasm is not as foolproof as a meditative and peacefull state of mind. The brainscans will convince you ;)

[@jaypalnitkar4400]

Best guided meditation

[@0persona332]

the best guided meditation that ive experienced

[@rafaelfreitas2172]

Thank you... Namastê. _/\_

[@vincentfox4929]

you realise that "nameste" just means "hello" right?

[@kelsangdragpa8558]

Beautiful.

[@ssegal1001]

What a wonderful meditation and short talk. The Buddhist tradition that Gen Jampa is a part of is the New Kadampa Tradition founded by the internationally renowned teacher, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. I am so happy to see they were a part of this event.

[@Christina-fb8vh]

The 'New Kadampa Tradition - NKT aka International Kadampa Buddhist Union, IKBU" Be Warned - A Very Dangerious Cult. Please watch: *"An Unholy Row' BBC Documentary* about this Cult leader & the NKT & please read the comments.

[@BobF510]

I'm enlivened by this content. A book with like insights enlivened my approach to change. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash

[@stacykowtko3905]

I very much appreciate his tone and pace. I humbly suggest, though, should Jampa ever see these years down the road comments, that words like "resist" and "Immediately" tend to lead people to self-judgement rather than the calm of meditation - just my thoughts based on my personal experience

[@nicktinsley7779]

Ooh, ASMR moment for me! Calm, soothing voice... :-)

[@hirantachakma4839]

Thanks for shareing this knowledge

[@JapLawton]

Thank You Kelsang Jampa for guided meditation....I be part of the NKT tradition

[@pl4email]

He actually caught my mind initially wandering, at those moments where he guided you back to a clear center. Which makes you wonder... was his mind wandering too!? o.O

[@seadoglonelyseal]

+pl4email yes, but less than u of course, when u creat more urge to find answer then u cant calm the mind

[@preethirao4274]

This is a profound statement. Thank you!

[@minminthu2918]

Thanks for sharing it to us!

[@meifang0218]

Unless you have an ad-free KZbin account, don't try to follow the instruction for meditation, the KZbin ads will shock you during the silence.

[@mannukaur6675]

I will do everyday thank you 🙏🏻

[@arnelarson2849]

Thank you, and I will need more practice. I was alert enough to notice him checking his watch at 10:44 minutes, right after someone coughed in the audience.

I love him....god bless

it is very great guideline when starting meditation

[@damian2001111111]

thanks for this meditation.

[@YINGUZZ]

Excellent meditation! However, could you turn off the ads just for this video please? It really disturbs the meditation when ads pop up 2-3 times!

[@dtola22]

Listened to it again tonight. A monk's quality of life is probably much better better than most people's.

[@patrickobrienstr]

Beautiful meditation! This has helped me so much :)

[@lucindast5895]

So awesome I did not to come out of the meditation thank you🙏🏻👁❤️

[@punchoklamo1496]

Compassion of love and peace✌🌎💖🍃

[@alokk7347]

My day start with this

[@Rockandrouge]

@TedX please remove the annoying ads from the middle of this meditation. It is perfectly fine to have ads at the beginning or end or the sections where the meditation is not taking place, we get that you need to make money. But having a bunch of loud ads in the middle of it when you are deep in meditation just ruins the whole thing.

[@marenorstrum]

This meditation has been such a blessing to me for many years...however, today a loud ad started in the middle of it. If anyone knows how to stop ads from happening like that, please let me know. Blessings.

[@abbujaan]

keeping cellphone off and away can create wonders .

[@awdroket]

This guy slips off like a ninja, and you're suddenly sucked back into a strange realty that's no longer peaceful. But at least now you've learned how to come back to the peaceful feeling when you need to.

[@augustinaaidoo4697]

This is great post ever.
