Russell Brand says:

Do you meditate? If you do, how has it helped you? If you DON'T…why not?! Sceptical? Can't be bothered?

Nayaab says:

Meanwhile Russel is actually falling asleep.

Pharmer David says:

Two of the biggest fakes in the world together……BRILLIANT IDIOCY. Brand closes his eyes, and Deepuke tells him to keep them open, but he doesn't hear…then he hears a smirks like the idiot he is………

FRÉMAUX SOORMALLY says:

DEEPAK TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE CREDULOUS AMONG THE DELUDED WESTERNERS!
The Dalai Lama pervert was not enough for Russell Brand, he now needs Vedic make-believe! He was seen posing as a psycho-analyst and here he is behaving like a fool!
Deepak is behaving just like other fanatics of a particular religion who refuse to move forward!
"Meditation", the Western (mainly women!) crave for more delusion!
SELF INQUIRY? SELF REFLECTION? MINDFUL AWARENESS OF EXPERIENCE? AND THEN TRANSCENDENCE? CONSCIOUSNESS CONTEMPLATING ITS OWN SELF?
THIS IS UTTER GARBAGE!
Deepak should tell us instead how many in the world need this nonsense and WHY?
By going back to the Vedic philosophy, Deepak is, in fact, saying that all that came after the Vedas is just SHIT!
Most people who meditate ignore their neighbours who are starving from orchestrated famine, who are dying under endless bombings, being terrorised on a daily basis by military blockades, Apartheid Walls, who are enslaved and are victims of all kinds of criminal and Satanic acts, including committing suicide because of mortgages.

B H says:

Dr Chopra has a great voice for meditation 🧘‍♂️

RYCHUHSS MESSENGER says:

Looks like Russell Brand was dozing off LOL 😆

ASMRyouVEGANyet? says:

Harsh S sounds make it difficult to listen to this.

Margot T says:

AMAZING !! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPERIENCE 💛💚💜

Miles Burgess says:

This was a great experience, maybe even a “primer” for the uninitiated?
An excellent introduction, with wonderful instruction from Deepak. 🙂
The TM videos and IOS apps I tried were just okay, or mediocre. This really worked.
Wow. Thanks Russel and Deepak. Big ups!
TM is expensive, but I think I might cough up the cash after this. Wowza!

Richie Lavery says:

I've transcribed this video to use with some students of mine:

Keep your eyes open and become aware visually of this room. Become aware visually of other people in this room. Become aware of your own body. Visual awareness is having the experience right now of what we call “seeing”. Just ask yourself who or what is seeing? There’s no need for answers, just ask yourself the question. The answer is obvious – “I am” seeing, “I am” having the experience of seeing.

Now close your eyes.

Just become aware of sound, the sound of my voice. The sound of *other things*. You can tell yourself “I’m having the experience of sound.” Notice that the experience of sound is intermittent. Just like the experience of seeing is intermittent – you only see that which you put your attention on. And what you see is colours, shapes, forms. Sound is like that – it arises, it is known, and then it disappears.

“I am having the experience of sound”.

“Sound is an experience in me”. It is known in that which I call “I am.” It appears in “I am”. It disappears in “I am”. It is a modified form of “I am”. So “I am” is present when the sound is being experienced. “I am” is present when the sound is not being experienced.

And now shift your awareness to the experience of sensations. First notice the sensations in your own body as they are experienced from the inside out. But then you can notice any sensation – your hand touching your knees, your hand touching the seat, the sofa, the chair. Just sensations, without labelling the sensation.

Notice that, like with other sensations like hearing or seeing, sensing is also intermittent. It arises, it is experienced, it disappears before the next sensation arises.

“I am having the experience of sensation”. “I am” is present in the sensation as the awareness of the sensation. “I am” is present in the absence of that sensation. “I am” is present in every sensation and in between the sensations.

Now become aware of the breath. Notice like other experiences the breath is also an experience. It arises in “I am”. It is experienced in “I am”. It subsides in “I am”. The breath is a sensation. All experience is sensation and they’re all entangled. But they’re all one sensation. “I am” generates the sensation. “I am” knows the sensation. And the sensation is actually made out of “I am”, just through attention and intention. So all experience occurs in “I am”, is known in “I am” and subsides in “I am”.

“I am” is the only constant. Everything else is an intermittent stream of sensations that we call mind-body and the world.

Let’s shift into an experience that is not in space-time. So in the screen of your consciousness evoke an image of a candle in a dark room. Observe that image. Who or what is observing that image? “I am” is observing that image. Just like other experiences, that image flickers in and out on the screen of consciousness. You can’t hold onto it. Furthermore that image has no location in space-time; there’s no image in your brain. It’s just a modified form of your own self. Now you can play with certain images. Imagine a rainbow, a beautiful sunset, the face of someone you love.

Now feel the emotion we call love. All these images and all these emotions are happening in awareness. Everything happens in awareness. “I am” is the awareness in which all experiences arise and subsides. “I am” is the screen of consciousness in which the play of consciousness is experienced as mind, body, universe. Every sensation, every image, every feeling, every thought occurs in “I am”. “I am” generates it, experiences it and lets it subside.

And now, we go a little deeper. Bring your awareness to your heart and mentally ask the question, “Who am I? What am I?” Don’t look for an answer, just ask the question. “Who am I? What am I?” Ask the question “What is it that wants to know the answer? What is it that wants to know the answer to this question; Who am I? Am I the changing experiences of the body? Am I the changing experiences of thoughts, emotions, feeling, desires, images? Who am I? WHAT am I?”

Second question: “What do I want? What do I really want?” Again, not trying to answer the question but only asking it. “What do I want?” allow any image, any feeling, any thought, any sensation to spontaneously arise or not arise. “What do I want out of existence?”

And now ask the question, “What is my purpose? Do I have a purpose?” Once again, not trying to answer, just asking the question and letting it go. Allowing any sensation, any image, any feeling, any thought to spontaneously arise, or not. “What is my purpose?”

Final question: “What am I grateful for?” Once again, allowing any sensation, any image, any feeling, any thought to arise, or not. Asking a question and settling in awareness allows revelation: revealed truth. “What am I grateful for?” allowing any sensation, feeling, thought to spontaneously arise.

Let’s go a little deeper. So mentally start to repeat your full name to yourself “I am X Y”. “I am X Y”. Now you can stop repeating that sentence but bring to your awareness every experience that comes randomly to you associated with that name. “I am X Y. These are the experiences I’m having.” Whatever comes; sensations, feelings, thoughts. The hassles, the deadlines, the addictions, the anxieties, the likes, the dislikes, attitudes. Whatever randomly comes to “X Y”.

Now release your last name, let it go. Just repeat your first name, “I am X”. And now bring into your awareness any memories, any experiences from when you were a teenager or even younger. Your parents, your siblings, school, the world you knew as a child. Any sensations, any images, any feelings, any thoughts. Let them arise on the screen of consciousness randomly. Memories of your childhood., teenage years; images, feeling, thoughts.

Let’s just release those images and now drop your first name and say “I am” with no experience attached to it. Just the two words “I am”. “I am” is the non-changing awareness in the midst of changing experiences, images, feelings thoughts that we call mind-body, the world. So just repeat “I am”. And now if you want, replace the “I am” with a mantra. If you have a mantra, use it, if you don’t you can use a generic mantra “Aum” which is the sound of existence. It’s also the vibration of breath. So let’s do that just silently, repeat the mantra as it takes you beyond all experience.

long break of approximately 9 minutes

Now keep your eyes closed but let the mantra go. Release the mantra and just rest in existence. Rest in being. Rest in awareness. Just being.

Just be aware, now, of being aware. Awareness is ground state of all existence; before any experience there is awareness. In fact, all experience is a modified activity of awareness. Rest in being. Rest in existence. Rest in the awareness of awareness.

Just to come out of the meditation; feel your body again, feel the sensations in your body. Take a minute or so before you open your eyes.

Drill Sergeant Dharma says:

I meditate. But I have to be careful. in 2005 I raised my own kundalini, accidentally on purpose, in an unsupervised fashion. With nobody nearby to charm the serpent as soon at it grew into a dragon; and before I had a chance to grab the flute and charm it myself, the danged thing had already been swatted by a Texan flyswatter, left draconian poo all over a little mermaid statue in Copenhagen, and was steadily wrapping itself around NYC and DC; as if a bitter old Irish witch had all she could take and wasn't gonna put up with any more. By the time we got to Louisville, I had lost control of the thing, but mother nature found other ways to reduce the poor thing to a pile of smouldering ashes. We climbed out of Saturn's little cube shaped bungalow and I slowly dared to tip toe back into the tulips, but when I attempt to hire dog sitters to yank the leash and keep my little lizard pet down on earth, the subtle feedback says I don't want it bad enough if I think I need a dog sitter. So I keep telling the little guy he is just an alligator, but he is very much aware of the power he is capable of unleashing. He reaches for the stars, but I warn him about the dangerous trappings of fame. I tell him he's only from Pluto, but his delusions make him aim for the Sun. Apparently he see's that as a cool place for little boy blue to go and blow his horn. So I dress him in yellow thinking he'll keep believing he's from Pluto. A few days later I realize here are all these sirens over on the moon singing lovely and warm songs of joy and harmony that get us tempted to go there instead. I get out the binoculars, and sure enough, the loveliest long legged gorgeous lady in red is there on the moon bellowing out a welcoming tune saying come and get it, boy. So I sit down on my pillow and start setting the grid coordinates for a lunar excursion. All of a sudden a giant, timeless drummer boy who apparently has nothing better to do than to mind screw dragon charmers begins pounding on a tomoe. All of a sudden I can see that the lady in red is now on the Sun and Little Boy Blue is sitting comfortably on the moon preparing to blow a trumpet. I reach for the computer mouse. I'll show all of them who's the f'n bossman in this universe. I switch the tune to Green Tara. We spend an hour or so comfortably falling into that footprint that she left behind in our own backyard the last time we moved toward her. Here we go again, first Avalokiteshvara shows up crying a bunch of more tears, which quickly become pearls. Now there are 21 Taras flying around us. Buzzing, spinning, buzzing spinning. "Which color of Tara do you prefer at your crown and on the moon seat at your heart, Tommy? Tommy? Tommy? This is Roger Daltrey calling, Tommy. Can you hear me now? What about now? Can you hear me THIS time, Tommy? If you don't hear me today should I call you back tomorrow, Tommy?" Really, Roger? Is that how you are gonna spin this. I had you on speed dial robo calls for 14 frigging years, I finally make up my mind that you don't REALLY need me as much as Princess Leia needed Luke Skywalker; and NOW you wanna call me back. Get that other Roger on the line…what's his name? Waters? You know. The Vera Lynn dude. I made the mistake of wrapping my song around his bloody song, and now I can't move forward with the open credits until I get his bloody permission to use lyrics that he obviously had to get permission to use, because his song was also wrapped around another song. Please make a note on my timeline for the next spin; at all costs, avoid creating any art and music that recycles pop culture from an era where everybody is overly sensitive and will ignore you for bothering to display something that shows them somebody with some balls actually saw their art and decided he was just as capable of rocking the boat without tipping it over as they were. But yeah. I know. There's that whole Louisville thing. And we are living in an era where an emoji with a bunch of twisted unrecognizable facial expressions is valued as a well respected response because it doesn't challenge any of the established, doctrines, tenets, norms, or dictated answers to the quiz. So, as a lingering effect of all of the above, the wife is now telling me she's finally ready for that divorce that I had convinced her to postpone. But now that me and the lizard are up and at em again, and I quit the old 9 to 5 to git er done, the paychecks I was bribing her with ain't showing up to charm her Florida Bobcat. Personally, I think a Dragon with 5 primordial colors is quite capable of charming a Florida Bobcat. But I think I've made the poor lassie postpone have a life of her own for long enough. She's made it quite clear for 15 years that she shares no dream with me that involves picking up a microphone and charming serpents, lizards, alligators, or dragons of any kind. Now I am pondering. Which will it be, LA, Las Vegas, Nashville, NYC, or London? I could meditate each day, and a different delusion will surface to make me think I'm being summoned to one of these places by an angel or two. So I quiet my mind, focus on my breath, open my third eye, and it tells me to rest in place. Um….I don't mean to question, you, Mr. intuition, but the Florida Bobcat is gonna be serving you papers any day now. You better come up with a less lame answer than "Rest in Place." Oh. You said "Rest in Peace?" What? "Rest in Piece"? Piece of what? Holy Geez. Yeah. Meditation is highly recommended from where I sit. My third Eye just told me I am a piece of #%$#. Thanks R & D. This was a useful meditation and I interacted with it 3 times.

Why do you collaborate with that conman? I'll attract my hands around your throat and Deepak choke ya!

Procyon says:

It's great to see Russell share these types of topics with his audience 🙂 The meditation process I follow from my online school (Drukama .com) has helped me a lot to keep calm during hectic moments in the day.

Mundomagic says:

Fave part of the video is the very beginning when DC says . So.. let’s do our meditation and Russel smiles and wiggles excitedly into position! Then…lol… he obviously reeeeeallly wanted to close his eyes but like a good boy on cross legged on the classroom mat – he opens them. Made me smile so much!!

TRUTHE SEKER says:
