despite what you may have heard meditation does not involve joining a groove paying any fees wearing any special outfits sitting in a funny position or believing in anything in particular it is simple secular scientifically validated exercise for your brain you don't have to do it yet but just so you know here are the three steps 1 sit with your back straight and your eyes closed to notice the feeling of your breath coming in and going out pick a spot where it's most prominent usually that's your nose or your chest or your belly and just focus your full attention on the feeling of your breath coming in and going out now as soon as you try to do this your mind's gonna go nuts you're gonna start thinking about what am I gonna have for lunch why did I say that dumb thing to my boss your brains gonna go nuts and that's fine the whole game is to notice when you've gotten lost and to start over and then to start over again and again and again every time you do that it's like a bicep curl for your brain and it shows up on the brain scan scientists have found this in the lab it's also by the way a radical act you're breaking a lifetime's habit of walking around in a fog of projection and rumination and you're actually focusing on what's happening right now meditation is unlike anything you do in the rest of your life failure is actually success as I said the whole game is just trying failing starting again failing starting again here's my advice you should be meditating every day 5 to 10 minutes a day that's it this doesn't require some giant investment I don't care how busy you are you have 5 to 10 minutes to give this a shot I guarantee you it will make a big difference

This is the best video on how to do meditation. Just saw it in a workshop yesterday given by Paula Butterfield in Ohio by the Institute for Brain Potential – for therapists.
Amazing video , only useful information without that spiritual BS

their was no number 3 🙁
Thank you for this simple guide. I thought it was very complicated, but now I know it's not, and I can start right away. Thank you.
Are the comments on this video fake or did this for some reason just attract people who can only type comments like "Good" with 5 emojis after?
1:07 Douglas Adams reference in the bottom left? I really hope you read this because I don't know what else the poster could mean, and if that is what it is, someone finally got it after 9 years haha
How can people believe in such a hoax like meditation?
