How to Meditate – the simple guide


peas and Finnick waters diving deep once
again how to practice mindfulness
so I always talk about how I practice
mindfulness meditation which is where
you chew into the present moment a
hundred percent you become aware of what
is happening in the here and now you
stop judging how you are feeling you
become more aware of every little tiny
sensation and meditation means awareness
so the question I get a lot is okay
that’s all well and good but how do you
practice this kind of meditation in a
practical setting when you go out of
your house your home and someone is
beeping their car horn really loud
someone barges past you and they don’t
care someone steps on your foot
ouch helicopters above sirens going off
a foggy atmosphere do you get my drift
so how can we practice mindfulness
meditation practically to help us become
our greatest version I’m gonna share
with you what’s helped me along my
journey I am a big fan of the great
psychologist fritz perls who said lose
your mind and come to your senses
I just love that because look throughout
the day so many of us we are up here we
are upstairs when we need to go
downstairs I like that because
overthinking doesn’t change what is
happening it only makes it worse
so I love the film Inception and in this
film it’s all about the nature of dreams
and reality and each character has a
totem which is a small object or symbol
which allows them to remember if they
are grounded in reality or if they are
in someone else’s dream so you have the
spinning totem it’s epic
and my totem which I carry in my pocket
is usually a small crystal an amethyst
or a quartz and whenever I’m out and
about I put my hand in my pocket
get out the crystal and start feeling it
up and I say okay that’s my crystal I
know because of the way the shape the
feeling it gives me the color and
automatically it allows me to focus my
attention into the present moment
because a lot of us were in the past or
we’re thinking somewhere deep into the
future look I am so present all I can
see is my nose before me how more
present can you get the power of tuning
into the power of now means that we have
more awareness with more awareness now
we have more energy sometimes people say
I’m so tired man and I say it’s probably
because you’re thinking about what
happened yesterday right or you’re
thinking about what is gonna happen in
five years which isn’t even here yet so
another tool we just helped me is
slowing down look just slow down living
in this
Society of instant gratification where
we all want it right now I found that
just taking one step at a time literally
does wonders to practice mindfulness
meditation practically because where are
we rushing to look we are in a hurry to
get nowhere fast that’s how it is
because we always feel if we rush we can
get there in time but where are we
honestly going we are stuck in this
sphere we’re stuck in this sphere which
is a beautiful planet by the way
okay so just slowing down for me is all
about any activity I’m doing I’m giving
attention because once again anxiety is
born out of the desire to escape the
present moment a lot of us we’re doing
things but we’re not doing them our mind
is somewhere else and we want to get out
of what we’re doing but to become more
mindful is to have a communion with what
you are doing and see that getting it
done quickly is just racing towards the
finish line when in essence you have to
start enjoying the process and for me
it’s all about the senses sight smell
touch taste hearing yeah our five senses
some people have more depends who you
are but tuning into them for me does so
much each one of them mmm
what is that food someone is making did
you smell it or were you thinking why
you lost the lottery okay once you start
tuning into each sense the sight who is
around
but you don’t just have to become a
watcher you can become an active
participant in this game in this
beautiful experience called life taste
how did that taste when you drank that
cup of water there was enough taste okay
how was that orange oh it was a bit
AHA now you are tuning in to the actual
sensation in the here and now and
hearing what are the sounds can you hear
the birds can you hear that guy
screaming across the road probably you
don’t want to hear that
but all of this helps us to develop more
awareness and really it grounds us into
the present moment it makes us stronger
it gives us more energy because the
power is in the now and being here near
practicing an old art form called
hydro-man see from the Greek Hydra water
Mantia
divination so people would just gaze
upon the beautiful crystal oceans
turquoise oh it’s probably mucky where
you are up into some murky oceans
anyway you you are you’re gazing at the
ocean and you’re just seeing the waves
float around some are really powerful
waves and they’re just falling and
crashing it’s almost like a musical
piece now this is mindfulness meditation
because you are becoming aware you are
becoming one with what you are observing
and this is so liberating so
Oh energy generating that it chains us
into the present moment a lot of people
that come to the ocean they say I came
to the ocean and all my problems
vanished
well that’s a good thing that’s why I
come to the ocean every day no excuses
I’m always there what else many times
it starts with eating food there’s a
great story off a master and a student a
great master an old man is the old man
once again and the student says master
have you ever tried to become accustomed
to the truth
the master laughed and said of course
when I’m hungry I eat when I’m thirsty I
drink and the student laughed as well
and said master that’s what everyone
does
then the master replied no because when
you eat and when you drink you are
thinking of various other things
therefore allowing yourself to become
disturbed that is powerful and that’s
why when I’m eating some delicious food
I’m chewing it I’m taking my time but
there was a time where I was just going
it down I would be eating like how
people drink just chuck it in your mouth
but all of that leads to some serious
health issues in digestion constipation
all of the stuff that will prevent you
from going out on a Friday night now the
art of chewing your food is amazing I’m
still practice
but it is so powerful because once we
are taking one bite at a time it allows
us to tune into what is happening in our
mouth did we grind it down properly
because many of us when we’re eating
we’re also on the computer with shouting
at someone we’re doing our hair so we
are actually not eating so I love to
always just chew my food and it helps me
become my greatest version also taking
off your shoes is a powerful way to
practice mindfulness meditation
practically now from the Harvard studies
we already know what mindfulness
meditation does it improves brain
cognition and all of that other stuff
going to research it I’m not gonna sit
here and explain it to you takes too
long just kidding
Hey so taking off your shoes is
wonderful why because once again we are
earthing our body is comprised of a lot
of positive ions from all of this
radiation around us so the earth is a
breeding ground for negative ions so
this keeps the body and mind in perfect
equilibrium
it helps us emotionally and mentally but
the sensation you get from barefoot
walking is out of this world why because
now you become aware of that rock ouch
or that little stone and it feels good
it’s like a an acupuncture session for
free so it allows us to have contact
with Mother Nature so we get heightened
senses a lot of people from barefoot
walking they get more priority it puts
things in perspective it is
stress reliever it makes us feel better
it puts us in a better mood yeah it does
that it makes us happy and also silence
now I was walking around Venice and
there was a woman who was just not
saying anything and I thought okay
it’s probably just an act and I was just
staring at her and it was amazing what
that did it moved me into the power of
now it moved me into what was happening
right now and there was more intimacy
because a lot of us we talk a lot I
don’t know anyone that talks a lot okay
so just being silent more that’s what
I’m practicing when I’m not making
videos I’m just listening and it’s so
powerful because a lot of us when we’re
talking to someone we’re not really
listening it’s all about what we want to
say but when you’re more silent you
realize that it is wonderful because it
moves you into more feeling that’s the
key word feeling that is what
mindfulness meditation is all about and
from the silence we go into the eye
contact that is a powerful way to tune
into the power of now in becoming your
greatest version can you look at that
person in the eyes oh my eyes because
whenever you are looking into someone
else’s pupils now we are getting rid of
the separation which is the illusion and
we are seeing the truth of the oneness
what we call the unification of
consciousness don’t let me go there
again I contact is intimate it is
powerful and we stop thinking about all
of those
we have to pay we focus on who is in
front of us and we give them our
undivided attention and it helps us to
connect with someone else in the deepest
most powerful way that is meditation
because that is awareness now the reason
why a lot of us can’t look each other’s
we can’t look at each other eye to eye
is because we’re afraid of the intimacy
of what we’re gonna see in that person’s
eyes because the eyes reveal so much
that is why they say when you look at
someone in the eyes that is sometimes
even more powerful than making love to
them physically because you are doing it
through your eyes but now you start
noticing their iris oh that’s really
pretty and stuff like that moti tusky
hello we’ve got 1001 things to do you
want to go to the supermarket you’ve got
to go to the bank you’ve got to call a
friend hey can I just get a moment of
peace mindfulness meditation for me I’ve
seen what is really powerful is to stop
multitasking because I always say it
doesn’t matter how many things you do
guess what there are always gonna be
more things for you to do
so for me ice I realize a little secret
I said to myself if I focus on what I’m
doing right now and do it well put my
heart into it that’s all that matters
the other things take care of themselves
because a lot of us we we partake in
these daily activities but ask yourself
was my heart
in this or was I just doing this as a
mandatory behavior because the
psychology of mindfulness meditation is
where you start putting your heart into
it not just your mind is a whole body
movement
that’s why Yoga is so powerful that’s
why exercise is so powerful because now
you develop a greater sensitivity for
what you are doing so I used to love
driving and talking on the phone don’t
do that by the way it’s dangerous I used
to love eating and talking to someone
else across the room I used to love
cycling and reading the newspaper then I
said kinda like a cycle and be at one
with everything put my head back and
just chill then I said of course I can
and it felt marvelous and lastly I love
to breathe in that beautiful prana deep
from the base of my spine a lot of us
we’re breathing but with shallow
breathing the reason why we are shallow
breathing is once again we are having an
out-of-body experience now I talk of the
inner body experience that is a gateway
to practicing mindfulness meditation
practically because the moment we see
that a deep breath what I do I breathe
in for for hold for for release for for
for for for alignment works well but do
whatever works for you and through your
breath you develop more clarity more
relaxation because relaxation is what we
are stress is what we think we should be
so just breathing it creates more
clarity it gives me more space
and therefore it allows me to choose
into the present moment now all the
energy is in the present moment in the
past
that’s old energy in the future that’s
energy which is not accessible but right
here right now is where all the energy
lies once again
this is where all the diamonds lie a lot
of us we’re wanting to get somewhere
else not realizing we are sitting on
diamonds do you hear the word that are
coming out of my mouth yeah so there you
have it those are practical ways I
practice mindfulness meditation
practically we are all here to just be
happy have fun but most of all become
our greatest version so right now I’m
gonna head to the beach I’m gonna cycle
then I’m gonna head to the beach and I’m
gonna breathe in that beautiful prana
just for you we are here infinite waters
diving deep once again stay well stay healthy peace
