O I love that, I'm going to write it down. The mindfulness technique I learned was to imagine your at a train station, u don't get on the first train (thought) that comes u want to pick the train based on where u want to go. I think I've come a long way because I started stream of consciousness writing, it helped me b more accepting of my thoughts on paper but it lead to being less judgemental of my own thoughts in my head too

Two things I noticed myself when it comes to mind-calming: 1. Some people will find (me included) that being still is worst thing they can do to calm their mind. Instead is worth to notice when our mind is naturally near this meditative space. It can be in hot bath, it can be during specific physical activity that does not require much of thought. For me it's walking so nice, long walk to the forrest will do the trick. My "foster" sister is calmed by house cleaning (she'll konmari whole house if she is too nervous). My mom will enter this meditative space when she is doing some needlework. Fidgetting or doing something simple can be better for some, so don't be disheartened by "staying still" part. 2. Other people will find that removing distractions from surroundings actually makes things worse, with mind will trying to fill the gap starts to flood your conciousnes with more and more thoughts, up until it won't longer look like different screens, but instead like stroboscopic lights. If you find that you are one of those I'll recomend to find "right things" to focus on. It don't have to be one thing, it can be a lot of stimuli, as much as you need. I found that things like overlaping soundtracks can work great for me. I use deep focus music, rainfall and some other music that matches my emotions in the moment playing in the same time. In the past (long time ago when KZbin was just starting) I was turning on TV, radio and music from computer all at once to get similar effect. For some people it can be more natural to flood their visual space with something, there are lot of apps that helps focus with some random animations, but in early 2000s some would use just untuned tv (I cannot find how visual effect of "no channel" in old tv is called in english, we call it "snow"). Sometimes it can involve more senses, so feel free to experiment until you find "the right thing" for you. I hope it will help someone

As someone who suffers from ADHD how you described your mind jumping to different stuff like that is soo true. For years I have had a terrible time trying to quiet my mind. You are so right about there being alot of info on meditation but almost all of it is the "Clear your mind.." approach which for most people is next to impossible. I greatly enjoy how you are explaining it as mind calming not clearing. In close to two decades you are the first person I have come across that has taken this approach and it just clicks. Thank you for sharing this info for those old and new alike in a straight forward and approachable why. Edited to add: as someone who struggles with insomnia this is a great exercise to help calm you mind before sleep.

So I've been trying these techniques for close to a year now! They work great but I've discovered some new tricks that help me. I'll talk about them later in this comment, but first, a basic explanation of my personal experiences and distractions. I'm typically a very "chill" guy, but have some distractions that I really need to work around: loud neighbours, intrusive thoughts, uncomfortable temperatures and attention seeking cats are my major distractions. As I cannot tell my neighbours to stop stomping around and moving furniture, don't have control of the heating/cooling of my building, or can stop my cats from clawing at a shut door; I use 3 methods: 1) baths (or blankets) 2) ear plugs 3) ambient music Sometimes it's uncomfortably hot or cold in my apartment (flat) which leads to minor discomfort when trying to enter a calm state. Cold toes or sweat tingles can be very distracting after all. On hot summer days, I'll run a lukewarm bath, or a hot bath in winter, and try my best to submerge my body (most importantly my ears and toes) into the water. The water helps to mute or dampen the noises around me, allowing me to create a quiet place. Then once my body is relaxed, I try to focus on my breathing - count of 4 to 6 inhale, 4 to 6 hold, 4 to 6 exhale, 4 to 6 hold. Doing this until my body feels that low-humming vibration of absolute relaxation (like after you use a coin-operated a massage chair). Then I let my mind drift like those amazing semi-conscious naps we take after hitting the snooze button. It works a charm for me when trying to do trance, lucid or dream recall workings. The same works when cuddled up under a warm blanket, or a wet sheet in the summer heat. Regulating my body temperature is key for really productive trance works. Ear plugs are a blessing for those times when I can't run a bath or wrap myself up in a blanket. I listen to the sounds of my own heartbeat and focus on my breathing as mentioned above. Similar to counting sheep, chanting a mantra or following a guided meditation, this allows my brain to focus on something mundane and repetitive rather than getting bored trying to not.. , well, try! These rhythms naturally slow as you sink further into a calm state until you've reached that liminal point of riding the hedge, no special scents, videos, chimes or noises required. Just a pair of cheap ear plugs. The last is ambient/white noise music. I personally like thunderstorms and heavy rain; but it could be wind, waves, a babbling brook, shifting sands, birds, lofi beats, techno-rave music or whatever allows you to simply project your mind into an alternate state of reality. For me, this is my go to method every night to trigger my brain to fall asleep, and allows me rapidly go back to sleep after a trip to the loo in the middle of the night. It's not exactly witchy, but the same technique can be used in the daytime to achieve that out-of-body, astral projection state needed for dream working, lucid dreaming, spirit communication, spirit flight, communing with deities and nature spirits etc.. Hope these help anyone looking for more tekkers to apply to their witch craft?

Thanks for this video. I realized in listening to this that I need to come up with a few steps for my work day to stay focused, and I think I'll start by dedicating different scents and instrumental music to work and meditation. Signals so my brain knows it's work time. This video was my kick in the pants to do it! One thing I want to share with anyone is you can learn to calm your mind! I learned something that changed my perception a long time ago from a doc. He said you can learn to relax. I was raised being told I'm a "worry wart" and didn't think I could be anything different. The doc said "You're good at worrying because you practice it. You can practice and get good at relaxing too." Mind blown! Hearth, I've listened to your videos for maybe like 3 years and I find your voice very comforting at this point. It was fine and neutral before that. Funny thing to share though, when I hear "Hey everyone" from anyone, usually i hear that in a work setting. My mind follows that with some work issue "so it's Hearth and today we're going to be talking about why the server is down" I work with technology and I feel like that's the last thing you'd want to talk about 😆

One visualization that has helped me in the past and what might be particularly nice for those connected to water is to actually visualize the thoughts and feelings as a waterfall coming down in front of you, just streaming down and further away into a lake. You don't have to interact with them, they just come by and then drift off. It's helped me before to let go of them to just to consider them as part of the flowing of the water.

Vase breathing also should be 2nd nature for anyone with vocal music training. When you sing, to get the best tone you use more your diaphragm (muscle under your lungs) than your lungs themselves. So the spot you want air coming out of in singing is where you want air to also return to when doing this kind of exercise.

@jonathangauthier3549 Жыл бұрын
This video is extremely helpful. Thanks Hearth! You mentioned techniques for dealing with distractions and I thought I'd add mine to the comments section, should anyone need help. Firstly, I'm one of these "chill" people you spoke of, so you might want to know that before reading further. Secondly, I also do A LOT of crafts, woodworking, and researching my various crafts on KZbin - hence why I'm watching your videos. Thirdly, I try to keep myself in a positive mindset while crafting, cooking, woodworking etc, as being angry/distracted with a sharp, noxious or hot tool in hand can be dangerous. Now for my techniques: 1) Let things simmer, ferment, roast (both in your mind and IRL). Having things getting done by themselves clears my mind. I don't have to think about what's for dinner if it's slowly cooking away by itself. 2) give things time to cure and set. Whether crafting or otherwise, some things just need time to come together. Whether it's a painting or glue that needs to dry, or waiting for a loved one to realize that you were right, we all need to just let things "set into place" or cure (depending on the situation). 3) some things need to be done now rather than ignored. Whether it's filing taxes, addressing a scraped knee, sending a message/link to a friend while you're thinking about it, or pulling something out of the oven before it burns, there are some things that simply need to be first BEFORE doing meditations or spells. After all, distracting yourself from a burning roast to cast a spell, while trying to ignore the screaming voices in your head telling you that your food is burning is not exactly a positive thing. 4) some things can simply be put off until another day while inspiration strikes. Most chores don't necessarily need to be done immediately. A little dirt on the floors or a pile of dishes in the sink CAN be put off until later in the day or week while you concentrate on doing your spell workings on a specific date, time, lunar cycle, etc. I hope these tips help someone out there to better muffle out the constant din of mental chatter within their mind. It's a constant work in progress. I let dishes pile up and meals burn while I work all the time, but I try to better myself with each day. As of the time I'm writing this, I've paused to send a link of this video to friends while the right words were in my mind, played with my cats, and ignored my chores to ironically watch a video on how to deal with distractions. Like I said, it's a work IN PROGRESS, lol. Peace

I think your voice would lend itself well to guide meditations and I'd be happy to add more to my tool kit. Another option for anyone reading is to find a meditation in which you enjoy the visuals, but if the voice is grating, you can re-record it either on your own voice or a loved ones voice (I get most people "don't like the sound of their own voice" but I found I got over it pretty quickly with these exercises). In a pain management program where I learned about guided meditations, we were given this advice because it's hard to trust a stranger to keep you safe while they're guiding you somewhere unfamiliar. If it comes from yourself or someone you care about, that aspect of uncertainty is eliminated. Thank you for this video! I hadn't heard the one about focusing on the in-between-breaths one. I look forward to trying it out.

Your explanation reminds me a lot of how mindfulness practice is done. You pick a sense and then a task related to that sense. So for sight, looking at a flame, or for touch, handling something like cloth. The core point to mindfulness practice is to notice the thought, and let it go on its way without forcefully pushing it, or ruminating on it. Refocusing back on the object of your attention (Ie: Looking at the flame, or noticing the texture of the cloth you hold). Mindfulness is great because you can do it in anything. Washing the dishes? focus on just your hands doing the job, and allowing the thoughts and emotions to come and go. Eating? Focus on the flavours or textures of the food you are eating, and letting the thoughts come and go. The point is one focus of attention. Multitasking is a no go here. It's its own form of distraction. I highly recommend looking into mindfulness practice. It's a good skill to have day to day

I breathed in for 1-4 then breathed out for 5-8, finishing the count rather than stopping at 4 and starting again seemed to help. Ironically didn't remember any dreams but that has actually improved since I have started doing it a little bit ago.

Focusing on the pauses really spoke to me. Thanks! I also find some ASMR sounds really calming. There's an hour long video of a guy playing with a Zen garden that just really helps me focus.

Thanks. I'm a singer and do a lot of yoga so I knew about most of the breathing techniques. But I loved the idea of focusing on the space between the breaths, I never heard about it and definitely want to try it. In addition to meditation I personally also find either playing music/singing or crafting/painting very calming. It's something you can totally get lost in, if you just concentrate how to move your fingers or on the sounds (in case of music) and textures (in case of crafting).

Wonderful video to watch after waking up from a nightmare.

There is this very strange method that sometimes works for me so I'll write it in case it's useful to someone. Simply, I focus on one thought and try to think as many thoughts in parallel to it, my mind gets overwhelmed and short-circuits. It is one of the hardest methods I know but it usually takes around 2-3 seconds for it to work.

One time I was meditating without any guidance or anything, just the sound of the rain in the background. I just let whatever thing I was imagining to happen and it was going pretty well until all the "ppl" I was imagining started charging up to me like freaky demons. All in all, ive started using meditation guides bcz of that experience

I was trying each exercise a little bit with you and the last one focusing on the break of breathes I immediately understood what you meant

I think you should definitely consider doing a guided meditation video. Also I think most people hate the sound of their own voice.

This is really helpful, and exactly when I needed it! I've just knuckled down to really try at meditation. Thanks! My favorite idea that was taught to me is imagining thoughts like leaves on a stream you're sitting next to - you notice it and it flows away. I'm such a fan of Pavlovian anything :D (I have to explain to every new friend what "Pavlovian" means lol) I do all kinds of things like that, playing ambient music, varieties of tea, scented candles, etc. for meditation, divination, studying etc. Anything that signals to my brain what I want it to do ... usually settle down :) Adding magical intention, crystals, herbs etc. (like to the tea, candle etc) is just another dimension of it. It's amazing to me how much overlap there is in magic and psychology! :) Psychologists: *theory!* Witches: ... Y'DUH.
