Guided Meditation for Beginners with Deepak Chopra

Just starting out with meditation? Learn how to take a few minutes of peaceful contemplation to lay the groundwork for deeper practice.

Meditation expert Deepak Chopra, M.D., leads you on a short guided meditation to notice your breathing. This practice is designed to be a meditation for beginners, but it's also helpful for more experienced practitioners who just want to take a few minutes of peace with the guidance of a world-renowned expert. Set aside five minutes and feel the sense of calm that quiet reflection can provide.

All these meditation advisers say to just observe the breath, don't change it in any way. But every time I observe my breath I find myself altering it and breathing more deeply and in a controlled way.

I've watched other meditation for beginners videos and the person who made the video insists on talking all the way through. Thank you for getting me started and then being silent until the end. This was very helpful to me.

Thankyou. He said to observe breath in thru nostrils and out thru nostrils. Most people say to breathe out thru mouth. Thanks.

Nice especially I liked the instrumental music. Can I please know the name of music so that I can play the same for the longer time. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

In the latest video on the Practical Health channel, it says that there are only 2 types of meditation practices - concentration meditation and mindfulness meditation. Basically, every time I focus on something, only on that object, I meditate. Is it really the case?

Thank you for sharing this, can you define - observe the breath?

I'm so relaxed like now I'm like a bowl of mash potatoe, that's been put in a blender and poured on a slough. Let's be YouTube mates?

Meditation helps you clear your head, meditation improves your concentration levels, memory, creativity and also makes you feel rejuvenated.

I'm a beginner. Thank you. Quite strange

The piano music is too fast and too loud. Very distracting. It took away from the otherwise excellent beginner meditation for me. I need either silence or very slow 432 H or some other healing Herz frequencies.

[phlarrdboi]

could do without the piano music. its a real turn off.

The voice is not clear to understand any thing.
