How to Meditate for Beginners (STOP right there)


peace and finit waters diving deep once
again tips simple tips on how to
meditate let’s do it right now right
here can I get a hello now I always talk
about mindfulness meditation this really
was helped my life
it’s helped me become my greatest
version and a lot of people when we talk
of meditation what comes into your mind
probably someone closing their eyes
singing Kumbaya under a tree somewhere
no that’s not the kind of meditation I’m
talking about meditation is the subtle
art of absorbing your thoughts without
judgment
we’ll come to that later tip number one
for goodness sake go to a quiet place
why because if you are beginning to
meditate if you’re learning how to
meditate which is really being at one
with yourself being at one with the
universe let’s face it there are so many
distractions there is so much noise
around us sometimes you need headphones
I don’t blame you because yes when you
are very advanced at meditation you can
walk butt-naked down a crowded road and
still meditate but when you’re just
starting out go to a quiet place do
yourself a favor
so what I did along my early journey I
would go to a park and it was really
quiet well the birds were the DJs and it
was fun eco therapy go to a Nature space
you see a lot of us we’re trying to
meditate when the computers on someone’s
tweeting you someone’s Facebook
messaging you and you’re like hey wait a
minute I’m trying to meditate well if
you don’t want to say that get your butt
into nature if you see some green
trees celebrate if you’re near a
waterfall waterfall head over there if
you’re near a beach you’re near a beach
you’re near a mountain get your ass over
there because when you are in a
breathing space whoo you can breathe in
that beautiful fresh prana you see most
of us we try to meditate in our room
where the window is closed we’re getting
that stale air no you want fresh healthy
clean prana that is really gonna give us
the energy we need to for a split second
detach from the matrix okay tip number
two I always say you don’t want to judge
your thoughts you don’t want to judge
how you’re feeling this is a good
thought that is a bad thought you see
when a lot of people try to meditate
what happens they’re trying to think of
the most positive thoughts in the world
and then they start getting these
flashbacks of all the pornos they’ve
watched then they start getting one of
these flashbacks about crazy stuff right
no you want to embrace all of those
thoughts because there are no good or
bad thoughts it is all about our
attitude towards what we are thinking
how about that so when you surrender to
any thought you are feeling without
judgment once you let go of that
resistance that is what we call
meditation absorbing yourself in the
present moment a hundred percent
letting go of control I’m doing this
video in nature there are sounds all
around me and guess what that is the art
of meditation oh yeah number three is to
really let go of guilt and shame you see
a lot of us if you are starting out on
this journey of meditation really
reconnecting back to your true
authenticity you want to let go
you see that’s what meditation is all
about meditation is all about letting go
because we are always accumulating so
much junk while absorbing other people’s
energy
we can’t let go if we’re blaming
ourselves for something we did ten years
ago five years ago yesterday afternoon
at 2:00 a.m. what the hell were you
doing right so you have to start letting
go of guilt and shame to begin to move
more into the flow of meditation that is
paramount
a lot of ourselves a lot of us we give
ourselves death sentences see meditation
is all about complete acceptance of who
you are and where you are in that
present moment number four as soon as
you wake up your brain is in the alpha
state okay in the alpha state you’re
very receptive you are full of
creativity first thing in the morning so
what helped me along my early journey
was just really meditating as soon as
you wake up don’t wait until the
afternoon because goodness knows what’s
going to happen go for as soon as you
wake up go and meditate okay
whatever meditation is to you for some
people like me it’s skating in the
morning sometimes I might listen to some
beautiful bossa nova music I might go
for a walk into nature I might talk to
the birds and the bees
right I might eat some beautiful chia
seeds that is all meditation meditation
is really what brings you into the here
and now
meditation is your own unique definition
of what life is the total harmony of
your existence
oh yeah and lastly number five a great
tip to really begin to meditate is to
really embrace the unknown okay I always
talk about enlightenment is knowing how
much you don’t know see the reason why a
lot of us we can’t really let go because
that’s what meditation is all about
letting go is because we think we know
everything right when you are entering
total surrender you got to be you got a
you got to be prepared for the universe
to take you in any direction it wants to
take you okay just imagine that you are
a child and the universe is just going
to take you on this magical adventure
you’re going to go into land your nap
you’ve never been before places you’ve
always wanted to go but if you think you
know where you’re going then it becomes
less interesting you see many of us we
can’t meditate because we’ve got too
many outside influences we’ve got to
start living from the inside out to
really bring more harmony into our lives
you got to ask yourself ask yourself
this is my life meditation you see a lot
of us we go to work in a job a lousy job
at that which we totally hate which is
fair enough I don’t blame you okay
sometimes no actually I love my job but
there was a time where I didn’t like my
job so I was always thinking about
getting somewhere else
you see mindfulness meditation is all
about absorbing yourself into the
present moment can you hear what’s
happening can you taste what’s happening
can you
smell what’s happening that is
meditation but a lot of us we are out of
the present moment is somewhere in the
past or somewhere in the future total
surrender happens when you are not
trying to get anywhere else
all anxiety is born from a desire to
escape the present moment so I didn’t
want to work in a lousy job so I just I
ended up here in nature and everyday I
just enjoy what I do okay for me that
means there is no separation between my
lifestyle and meditation in fact just by
me making this video out here in nature
I am fully meditating oh yeah meditation
is complete acceptance there are no
rules or boundaries
ask yourself how how am i breathing
though see a lot of us the breath of
life is what keeps us inspired some
people say I have no inspiration Ralph I
told them when was the last time you
took a really good deep breath right you
breathe really deep from the base of
your spine because it is the breath of
life that connects you know reconnects
you to the infinite flow of life let me
say that again it is a breath of life
that connects us reconnects us to the
infinite flow of life if you are taking
shabby breaths chances are is going to
be very difficult to meditate if you are
taking whoa if you feel beautiful when
you breathe you’re going to be able to
meditate so there you have it just
remind yourself realize everything is
connected actually what I’ve really been
into lately is group meditation
sometimes when you’re holding someone’s
hands try this
stare into their eye
it’s really sexy woman a really fit man
someone you love something you’re really
attracted to oh boy you’re going to have
probably the best meditation session in
the world because meditation is intimacy
see a lot of us we think we have to be
alone when we meditate that is true to
one extent okay sometimes you see Buddha
looking like a boss duh just let it go
let that go okay but sometimes what
I’m realizing now in becoming your
greatest version you’ve got to be able
to meditate with someone you care about
also I’ve just realized that being a
vegan for ten years has really helped me
in such a positive way to see how
everything is connected
all animals deserve a chance to live so
when I’m meditating I just remind myself
that I’m proud to be a vegan right I’m
proud to respect life and once again
this reconnects me back to the infinite
flow of life so there you have it we’re
just taking it easy chillaxing getting
high have a beautiful day we’re out here
we’re out here we’re out here infinite
waters diving deep once again stay well stay healthy
