The Art of Meditation (animated video)
What is meditation? And how can we use meditation to alleviate our suffering and achieve peace of mind?
🎞️ Animated by Munkaa: https://www.youtube.com/user/jus7yMeditation is probably a bit more complicated than most people think.When we meditate we watch our thoughts, while focusing our attention on a certain anchor that keeps us in the present, for example, the breath. While watching the breath we observe how our thoughts come and go, along with our feelings and emotions. And when we get dragged into them, we bring back our attention to our anchor.But this isn’t the whole story. Meditation isn’t just about watching our inner processes. It’s a tool to transform and cultivate the mind, used in spiritual practices as we see in Buddhism and Hinduism. Cultivating the mind is like a gardening project. By meditating, we train ourselves to become aware of our inner garden, so we can cultivate as well as protect it.This means that we prevent weeds from growing, eradicate the weeds that are already present, and replace them with beautiful plants and trees. A welltended garden resembles a serene and joyful mind.This animated video explores the art of meditation.Support the channel:

Stop Trying to Get It And You'll Have It | The Backwards Law
Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The backwards law proposes that the more we pursue something, the more we achieve the opposite of what we truly want and the more disappointed we feel. Or simply put: the harder we try, the less likely we’ll succeed. On the flip side: when we stop trying, we’ll have what we want.Now, how exactly does this backwards law work in practice? Or more specifically: how exactly do we get what we want, by not trying to get what we want? This video explores the backwards law and its paradoxical nature, as well as the cause of our ongoing dissatisfaction in life, and how we can liberate ourselves from it.Support the channel:
