Andy Puddicombe | Why 10 Minutes Each Day Can Change Your Day

Andy Puddicombe tells us why meditation isn’t just about the lotus position and the difference between doing nothing and not doing.

Setting off to become a monk at the age of 22, Andy's meditation training took him all over the world, culminating with full ordination at a Tibetan Monastery in the Himalayas. Ten years later, he returned to the UK with the singular wish to demystify meditation, to make it accessible, relevant and beneficial to as many people as possible.

He set up Headspace in 2009 with a mission to get as many people in the world as possible to take 10 minutes out of their day, to practice a simple and easy-to-learn meditation technique and experiences the scientifically proven benefits of meditation.

In 1 video this guy made something click in my head more than my therapist of 6 months.

My 6 year old granddaughter is fortunate to have a 1st grade teacher who is teaching her class to mediate every day. What a great foundation for learning and living!

This is not just about meditation, but also philosophy, having a different and more positive mindset, not focusing on the negative, and if meditation can help us do that, I am all for it.

Love meditation, It has done wonders for me personally and my sole advice to anyone who wants to change their own life. Thanks Andy and team for spreading the words!

I've been using headspace for 7 days and just subscribed to the full package. It's easy to use, well guided and really helps bring about a more calmer and clearer mind! Well worth it!

Andy is so direct in his 10 minute lessons at headspace. He tells you very simple instructions. Which we all obey. So this tells me that we should listen to advice given. And approach it with open heartedly. Do it without any excuses. Follow instructions, listen and think.

I have been meditated quite constantly using the app since June 2020 ...but so far I cannot see any improvements within myself ....I will keep going ...

The end of this really spoke to me when referencing carrying baggage for a loooong time. I'm just back at work after a year away with anxiety and my issues are mainly if not all from the past. Headspace has been great so far and I hope to get the full app some time. Would love to work towards my own book or something about my experience and help others.

Wow and now they're up to the million+ mark online :o

Some people say meditation is focusing on your breath and if your mind wanders, to bring it back to that. Some say its about focusing on just one thought, ignoring the other thoughts. And then this guys saying meditation is observing all thoughts from a distance. Im tired.

Funnily enough, I finished watching a headspace ad before watching this video.

Just watched a ted talk with him juggling. He said he was a celibate monk. Here he says he’s getting married. Both videos were released less than 3 weeks apart...Confused 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ maybe i missed something

I saw a castle when i meditated, just before i drifted in and out of consciousness.

It only take one idea to make a change. So how much is ten mins worth?

[strictlysmart]

U have learnt it from India I hope u will do something for India as well....apart from just making money 😊

[Chebab-Chebab]

I bet I could do a talk on the negative aspects of Mindfulness.

Conclusion: work sucks and it makes all of our lives miserable.

I have arthritis. Put me into the lotus position and I will never get up again.
