    To who ever is reading this. I am watching this in the Maldives in July 2023. I am thinking of you, connected through this message with you in the future. Thank you for joining me on this journey of life. I wish you all the best and only the best. With Love, Melvyn from Singapore.

    You gain nothing from meditation rather you lose everything that is not you. And you, you are Light - Pure Light.
  • @Sol-ui2if
    Meditation is the highest form of grace. A supreme state of awareness where you become so silent and still that you almost disappear. Meditation is the path to self illumination. It is personal and it is a self guided journey. Silence the mind and the Soul will ,,speak,,. Stay blessed!
  • @Enavor
    Meditation is just observation, literally watching. It is as natural as your heart beat; a process which happens automatically. The reason why this leads to a silent mind is because when you pay attention to your surroundings, that takes you away from thoughts. It allows a person, for a few moments, to forget. If my attention is on the birds flying or the ocean waves then my inner issues for a while are gone. More advanced meditation is when you realise the outer is the inner. If you find the outer at any point uncomfortable then that tells you a lot about yourself inwardly, just as if you find the outer very joyous (like me watching the ocean shores) then that also tells me a lot about myself. You environment can tell you so much about yourself if you know how to pay attention/watch to how it makes you feel.

    Meditation is a movement into a whole questions of our living. Our emotions and life and understanding them and getting free from all those is the path of discovering meditation.

    "Sit up. Shut up. And observe." I learned this from a friend. Been practicing this for a minute now. I highly recommend it

    ' to be free of one's anxieties, sorrows, fears. To observe how we live how we behave. To not have images about ourselves or others.' He explains thus the true meaning of meditation.by living it. Thank you for posting this video.

  • See the beauty of a mind acting without a reward and funishment therefore directly experincing j k
  • Sometimes I feel meditation is not giving a damm about surrounding and enjoying our own company. Living in the invisible world.
