Some Vlogging

Call it what you will, I’d call it deep relaxation. It amuses me to hear just how many “proper” ways there are to meditate. HOWEVER I’ve learned that if I’m thinking about my job or something else while I’m “meditating” then I’m not really meditating. I love nature and I live in the countryside. If I go for a walk through nature I’m tuned into the environment, visually appreciating all the tiny details, and NOT tuned into my everyday problems. Everytime I catch myself drifting back thinking about a problem I immediately catch myself and stop. It takes some discipline at first but after awhile my brain associates good feelings with those walks in nature.

Thank you Denys..I liked the scenery and music

Denys, I have been following you since 2022 and like your work and also your personality. Concerning meditation, I agree with Steve Hale "you cannot stop your brain producing thoughts. What matters in meditation is to be aware.

Great to see this video Denys. A bit of the real you. Stick at it - doesn’t have to be a big long meditation to start. Even a couple of minutes here and there just stopping to notice your surroundings and just be, really helps to make your brain more peaceful. Have you ever listened to any Ekhart Tolle videos? Highly recommend him. He really helped me feel less stressed about life.

Interesting Denys... You had to pay Parking? THAT was the Debbie Downer of the entire video! Otherwise I was quite engaged! Don't quite your day Job, buddy, We need the the hard Kaboom News!

My late wife (and fellow pilot) also had a mind that was constantly churning and she embraced Buddhist meditation in an effort to be able to stop and smell the daisies. It was very beneficial for her but it took a her couple of years and a lot of effort and studying with Buddhists before she was able to put it into effect. For her, it was transformational.

I too have been concerned for you about geolocation and I'm surprised how casual you are about it. You are very effective at your "main" job of reporting on and advocating for Ukraine and, as a long time student of Russia (and after working in military intelligence) I know it is unwise it is to underestimate the lengths to which they will go to silence those who can rally others to oppose them.

Well Denys, very good attempt for first meditation!, in the American or perhaps western tradition of trying to have zero thoughts. After many years, from Buddhist literature, I discovered the alternative, of just letting the thoughts flow, and recognizing them, and letting them go, without reaction. The Human brain cannot stop having thoughts. What counts is, not acting or reacting to them, just recognizing and letting them pass into whatever comes next in the moment. We all appreciate your Ïnfluencer efforts¨, and are always glad and privileged to learn about your life and family, as you share. Take care and persevere, and cherish your Family, always. Steve Hale.

Very nice

Looks beautiful Denys

Do you believed in the supernatural?

Denys you have to repeat this meditation to gradually prepare your mind for meditation without thoughts. I like nature around you. Have a nice day or evening.

When I first started, my mind wouldn't shut up either. So I made myself a mantra: "I am safe and at peace". That's how it learnt to slow down. Nowadays it's easy. I focus on the inside of my forehead, and there I go... 🙏😇 You know your EEG brainwaves change when you meditate, right? Interesting subject. 🤩👍♥️🇦🇺

Everyone needs self-reflection to be oriented, motivated, introspective, and a benefit to the human race. I have my religion, yet believe in any religion can coexist if it benefits humanity. We all benefit from being good stewards of nature.

Using the breathing method is a good start. However, it works best if you lay on your back, aligned with magnetic north. When you get good, you can actually go OOB (Out of Body). Don't give up, it will take some practice. Also, the proper frequency (some prefer 528hz) style music can also help. Denys, just do what tou do and follow 3 simpler rules - NEVER lie, steal, or cheat (Good Karma)...

Denys, you don't have to believe in religion. God is not worried about that stuff... Just be careful about karma. Yes, you do reincarnate, after you shed THIS body, wait an average of about 70 tears, and come back again. BTW, I have died, spent time on the "other side", and kicked back here because - I was told - "Your work is not done". Bummer... It was the first time in 40 years that I did not have any pain! Thanks for the refreshing video! James

Very nice Denys, I woke up early today -5:00am. My dreams were unsettled. It is nice to see your video and you contributed to starting my morning with joy.

Nice to see the great outdoors, but beware of geolocation, Denys.

Good1 thanks.

Do what ever it takes Denys.
