As soon as I finished chanting along I felt a lot of anxiety, and then shortly after just literally burst out laughing for like 90 seconds, and then felt like crying, and then started laughing again. Was NOT expecting that kind of ride. I'm going to do this every day.

Shame is a very interesting emotion because it's mostly reliant on your perception of yourself in society. You can't really experience shame outside of a setting with social interaction.

Hearing myself make such an unusual sound made me feel extremely self-conscious and uncomfortable, despite being home alone so no one could hear me… That’s a red flag right there.

[xominalo]

Did this Chanting for the first time today. After going through daddy issues, depression, feeling of loneliness, fear of others not accepting who I am, fear of walking this world not even knowing myself.

As soon as the last chant was completed tears starting falling and I wasn’t sure if it was normal but when he said to feel every emotion I started bursting out in tears like a baby.

I didn’t realize I had all this hurt in me or that it was even a thing to want to feel accepted after going through childhood trauma.

I’m in the most healthiest relationship I’ve been in, but find myself to sabatoge and find myself looking for validation beyond words. Maybe due to past relationship trauma.

I’m on a high right now after I let out all the tears. I will continue to do this. Thank you Dr.K

I've been doing this for 15 years and I'm so happy to see it being taught here! Please everyone! Take this seriously and do it whenever you need to or want to. It will change your life.

So, this has nothing to do with the actual video, and it will just probably get lost between the comments, but this is worth it just for the remote chance of you seeing this and hopefully feeling a warm hug from my end. I just finished the whole series you had with Reckful, and watched your video on Depression, Loss and Suicide, and seeing you're still here for us, still giving your all for this community just makes me tear up, I feel such an admiration for you and your work, that video just changed my whole perspective of things, I'm now fighting to be at peace with myself, not just for me, but for the people that could use my help, and for that, I need to be stable enough so I can help others rise up and fight. I owe people like you giving it my all, that's the least I can do. As you said, "When Champion fall, you get up and fight harder!" I fucking love you Dr. K! (sorry again, I know it has nothing to do with the actual topic of the video)

[thetravellingear]

Would be interested to hear Dr K's take on how music evokes emotion (or art in general), always been such a big part of my life and of many i'm sure, but like why do beeps and boops make me feel so much lol

[VocalAccord]

When I first started this I had felt very skeptical and embarrassed. Especially when I know my family members are home and the walls are basically paper thin in my household. But man.. this felt so freeing. Even though doing the chants made me feel silly I had noticed that when the silence came and I just took my breaths, tears started to fall and soon. I was just.. CRYING. Like all the pent up negative emotions that I had been suppressing just came out in one fell swoop. I’m definitely going to do more of this and find more meditation techniques in the future. I wouldn’t have gotten started without Dr. K. I am so grateful for his videos. They’ve helped me a lot with the things I burden myself with. Especially with my emotions. So thank you Dr. K. I really appreciate you and what you do. <3

[chai_lattes]

Thanks Dr. K. Some days I really feel like offing myself because I'm so overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, self-loathing, insecurity, anger, frustration, hopelessness. I just want it to stop so I can be free. These chanting meditations really help me release some of that pent up energy that often has nowhere to go. I also really like the chanting because I barely ever speak or make a sound irl even when I'm alone. Thanks for helping me feel less alone when I'm having a rough day and feel like giving up.

[nyatella]

i had a stomach ache and headache all day. after doing this i cried and suddenly all the pain is gone

[theGhostSteward]

"OHn chanting" is the human equivalent of cats purring.

[pageturner]

Thank you for reminding me that there are people who care about me and want me to feel better. Watching your videos is relieving. I appreciate you very much

[polaris.moon_]

Didn't expect you to actually upload this lmao

I did this once when I was a child with my mom at her ayurvedic doctor's appointment, I thought it was stupid to do but now I want to do it

[cageof]

I laughed and felt weirdly happy and then I cried a little. I’m going to try to do this meditation more often

[Nassia]

My cats were STARING at me in shock after the chanting part 😂 they hear those vibrations more clearly I guess

[rubicc]

Though i figured meditation would be somewhat helpful/eye opening, i did not expect to feel what i just felt. after the chanting i bawled my eyes out harder than i have in a very long time, followed by a man-baby esque fit of rage. screaming, shouting, crying, flailing. I knew that i had buried anger, and buried shame and sadness - feelings of inferiority - but I had no idea how viscerally they would present themselves. Had it not been for Dr K reminding me to let it all out, I probably would have choked it down again. After my rage, I cried even more. The emotional aftershock lasts much longer than the chanting itself. I had absolutely no idea how strong of a tool meditation is until today, and you can bet your ass it's going into my daily toolkit. Thank you so much Dr K. Your teachings have touched me deeply.

[lorenzovelasque]

i cried a lot and said I dont wanna be *insert my name here*. I never did that before but now im starting to see that the problem that keeps festering for me is what I think I am. just like buddha said. I really have to thank the person that clipped this and brought the vid to light and dr k. This simple meditation always manages to make me let go of emotions bottled up and thoughts too. Thank you ❤

[JebJester]

I love the golden silence that I tap into after a meditation session, especially after using the Om. This technique helps things along, don't feel afraid to try it.

[yagoldt]

This dude out here changing people's lives.

[tothemax]

I came into this expecting some short talk that I could listen to and feel like I would get closer towards letting go of my shame without actually doing anything. But I am so thankful that it was an actual practice of meditation to get me actually DOING something to catalyze some change within me.
