My intention for this thread is to "generally" add notes for each Link I provide; as I fully listen to, practice and experience each of the videos I share in this thread. I encourage others to share regardless of how much or little one wishes to write.
I'd like to begin with this Monk . I found him a hard to understand at first, however the scope of what he was presenting overcame my desire to stop watching. I was pleasantly surprised to find that several videos later I ended up understanding him fluently. In keeping with the theme of this forum I'll begin with sharing the following vid, which was how I first discovered him:
I had an extremely traumatic experience the other day which really helped to bring things into perspective for me. My head has been racing for days since! Having now been hard core with my eating and exercise for some time, I now believe it's time for me to seriously get back into meditation. This is why I have started this thread. The next video - I just now sat through had a really amazing effect on me. I guess having had some experience helps me to really get in tune with what's being said; as it's being said. I like this guys tone to which I am now well acquainted with. It's not often I float outside of my body, however using the visuals - I have embed into my mind over many weeks via using google maps to map out my runs really helped with my visualization ... I fell into a state where I obtained a high resolution satellite imaging sequence that started with a street view. ← Whilst listening to this meditation when it got to the part about extending my awareness beyond my room. I kind of had a trip similar to that of how I regularly fly in my lucid dreams. It was AWESOME!!!
I don't expect this will happen for many first starting out. I just wanted to add those notes because my ability to add visuals was an important part of that experience. Adding visuals from memory does not require much thought for me. Visuals are a big part of hypnosis and likewise induced states of awareness.
Here is that video:
