- 4 stages of the mind --- Association, Contemplation, Concentration and Meditation.
- How the mind works? The mind is continuously in "free associating mode". Which then triggers an uncontrollable stream of thoughts. This is how it works in default.
Then, there is the "contemplation mode". In which we dive onto something specific (eg/ scientists working).
Beyond that is "Concentration". This is when the mind focuses on one thing only. This is where most meditation techniques reside. (e.g./ focus on your breath). Because first you need to concentrate, before getting into a meditative state.
There are many meditation techniques. "The Book of Secrets" by Osho can guide you on it, with 112 different meditations within. You can find which one suits you the best!
The meditation technique that best works for Naval --- "The fourth state of mind"
Meditation is the art of doing nothing. Therefore, you can't do meditation. It is a state in which you do nothing and put no effort (at a physical, mental and conscious level).
Why to meditate? It will help you closing these unsolved thoughts (that come from living and are based on fear, pain, ...). Eventually, you will have resolved all of these unsolved issues, and you get into a state of bliss and peace (true happiness). If you can get there, it changes your life.
Recommendation to start meditating -- 60 days , 1h/day , first thing in the morning. No music. No sound. No apps. Get super comfy, because you don't wanna move for the next hour!
Give yourself an hour off from life!

Thank you so much. Could you recommend me an habit or daily action to do? Right now I am living an ansiety crisis and my body is very rigid. I want to live life because I am 39 years old and I know there's something good ahead.

Hey! I really like Kapil Gupta's advice of deep examination onto what may be causing that feeling. As they say, the solution of a problem (of relevance) most times resides in the same problem. You can check this out further in the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH3dap6diZKKqac&ab_channel=PickingNuggets Hope it helps !!

Great video! I have been trying this for a couple of weeks now. One issue I run into is that I daydream the entire session about meaningless stuff. For example, my mind will go on about the tv series i've been watching or have already seen. Or It'll be about movies, youtube videos, maybe I'll start thinking about my work day ahead, etc....I don't really think about myself or look inside deeply. I'm not putting any energy or directing my attention to myself or my past on a deeper level (since Naval says to let your mind run)...Should I concentrate a little on deeper issues and guide my mind? Or continue to not put any energy into trying to think. Just continue to let the mind go on its own and daydream.

[@PickingNuggets]

That's a good point! Thanks for sharing. Personally, when I meditate I try to not put any effort into anything. What helps me is to repeat to myself things like "I'm too lazy to do anything" and when I start thinking about stuff I also say to myself "I'm too lazy to have this thought" and that helps me to kind of shut down my mind while also not putting effort in trying to do so. I got the idea from a talk of OSHO. I don't know if that helps!

[@sycbball23]

@@PickingNuggets oh I see, so when I’m thinking about meaningless stuff I’m basically putting too much effort into my thoughts. What you just described is like a technique to help put in “no effort” when meditating. Got it, I’ll give the “I’m too lazy…” thing a shot! Thanks

thiền định thực sự là không làm gì cả 1 giờ mỗi ngày không làm gì cả để các suy nghĩ lướt qua nếu người ta không ngồi thiền, người ta sẽ thường bị xao nhãng mà không chú ý ngồi thiền sẽ xử lý các email trong tâm trí, lâu dài bạn sẽ giải quyết các vấn đề tồn đọng giải quyết các tổn thương của bạn ngồi buổi sáng, buổi sáng sẽ ít email nhất, bạn không nhìn thấy nhưng bạn vẫn giải quyết được một giờ hạnh phúc mỗi sáng tất cả những gì bạn cần là 1 giờ nghỉ ngơi mỗi sáng ít nhất 80% những người thành công đều thiền định mỗi ngày tắt tâm trí khỉ để làm việc sâu hơn, không sao nhãng thiền định là tắt tâm trí khỉ ít nhất 20p mỗi sáng lên cao nguyên tách biệt, lợi ích vấn tồn tại qua nhiều thập kỷ
